Few copies back in stock, long out of print. After the publication of Danses organiques, Elica is pleased to present two previously unreleased compositions by Luc Ferrari from the early 80's: the stereo magnetic tape piece Dialogue ordinaire avec la machine coupled with Sexolidad, a composition for fifteen instruments. Both pieces share with the Danses a deep sense of sexual curiosity, a penetrating matter for the composer's musical explorations. This album is yet another fine testament to the F…
Concept focused on courage and defeat, as grandiloquent as it is introspective, "Last Guard of Honour" collects all the material produced by Sir Sagremor between 2021 and 2023: epic and romantic dungeon-synth that acts as a soundtrack to bloody battles and heroic exploits.
"All throughout the realm of Farûm's Corners, hushed whispers of an emerging plague called The Violet Decay are spoken by it’s citizens. Four adventurers leave the safe walls of Oldminster and travel to the eastern kingdom of Sothiril to investigate..."
A brand new Dungeon-synth artist bursts onto the scene, his name is Hex Crawl! His epic fantasy music full of twists and turns will enchant you, dragging you into an adventure with the classic flavor of 80s D&D adventures. Dramatic melodies screa…

Bellmer is most renowned for his photographs of t…
*2024 stock* "I must say I was surprised when I realized that ‘Elmsfeur’ was on the legendary Finnish Sahko imprint as the album springs to life in a flurry of Lynchian drums, double bass and piano. This was a country mile from the cold, haunted analogue experimentations of Pan Sonic, but the more I listened the more it began to make perfect sense. I could almost imagine waking up in a sleepy North Western American hotel room and this record being piped through a dusty home audio system in the d…
2024 lucky restock, sold out at source Robot Records, Yesmiisolga and Elica are happy to present the first Christoph Heemann and Steven Stapleton duo album. It took almost thirty years, but in 2012, thanks to Yesmissolga and Musiche Possibili, two leading and influential artists of underground experimental music, who have been marginally working together despite their long friendship and common attitudes, managed to directly create music together for the first time in occasion of the concert he…
The state51 Conspiracy is proud to announce Wacław Zimpel’s long-awaited fourth solo album, ‘Train Spotter’, due for release on 31 March 2023 on state51 Records.
"Flora Yin Wong’s ravishing interiority finds lucid expression on an absorbing second album for Modern Love, manifesting her instrumental storytelling in a syncretic bind of supernatural themes with hyperrealist, concrète sound design. Through ten parts, Flora crystallises the ennui that followed an uncanny, disorienting trip to East and Southeast Asia. “On an unexpected stopover in Hong Kong after five years away, my friends took me to a Bazi reader one night - something I was curious about, bu…
Tip!!! We already met Steven Grace with his crepuscular electronic soft-rock album entitled "Eleventh Hour" (HDK 119), now let's get to know him in his most traditionally “kosmische” guise called LOGIC GATE.
Wandering through the desolate lands of the net, under the label of "electronic music", we casually came across Steven's music thanks to the his Logic Gate albums. Our first reaction was: how is it possible that such sweet music is relegated to such a dark and invisible corner of the world w…
Tip! Troekurovo Recordings is a production team made up of Toki Fuko, Vadim Basov and Evgeny Vorontsov and they have been hidden away deep in some enchanted Russian forests recording music. Now they are putting out the results on this superb double pack. This project started back in 2016 as a live experimental jam and is now an annual tradition made on loads of analogue gear on the banks of a canyon that was formed many years ago by a melting glacier. The locale provides inspiration - from the f…
2024 Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and flood.…
**A prescient vision of the next phases of listening space! Remastered reissue, first on vinyl** Released in 1995 ‘Wave Field’ was a departure from the first album into new composition methods involving the dirty textures of rock guitar, sounding in the open ears of many listeners (like Jim O’Rourke, who issued the disc in the US on dexter’s cigar) as a synthesis of disparate elements - a nexus where Alvin Lucier, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Brian Eno blend together. Here, the clangorou…
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Italian Audio / Visual artist Camilla Pisani joins us with her new album Phant[as]. Imagined as a lucid nightmare, fuelled by her various inner struggles, it is a trip into the depths of imagination. The project is inspired by Phantasmagoria, a form of theatre that was most popular in Paris in the 18th century, in which images of skeletons, demons and ghosts were projected onto walls and/or sheets. During these performances, there was a rapid succession o…
*2024 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Aesthetical in collaboration with Sync presents "Detect" by Marco Monfardini. Originally developed as an audio/video live performance, Marco Monfardini based his research for Detect on the decoding of inaudible sounds, sound generated by electromagnetic emissions left from electronic devices and inaudible to the human ear. By using various electro-smog detectors Marco Monfardini creates a sort of detection mapping where electromagnetic emissions are the s…
*300 copies limited edition* The inaugural offering from composer and dark ambient veteran Harlow MacFarlane (Funerary Call, Sistrenatus, Havan...)’s mysterious, unheard of Stars Without Light provides the score to a yet-to-be discovered, disintegrating film reel of the unknowable. With masterful curation of sound and catharsis, this shadowy entity coaxes the aural observer into a spectral Otherscape. Over the course of the disquieting “Beneath and Before”, we attempt to follow this captivating …
*100 copies special limited edition* New concept album by France's enigmatic Grande Loge. Unruh was created as a companion soundtrack to the book Soliloquium in Splendor, by Oksana and Gil Prou, published in March 2023 via Rivière Blanche. For this opus they took a slight step out of their comfort zone, creating an immersive ambient / ritual work like now other. Without being chronologically accurate, it takes inspiration from the book's characters and universes and offers a multi faceted sonic …
*100 copies special limited edition* New full length album from Croatia's long standing Ritual Ambient act. "Legacy" stands as a testament to an enduring and tumultuous career that originate back in 1991. Permeated with deep esoteric meanings we are graced by slowly evolving cinematic soundspaces and ritualistic atmospheres. Spectral incantations floating in the ether, sensory sacraments that develops gradually and are interspersed with thick dramatic swells. The title track features vocal appea…
Platform 23 returns to where it began, working the Vox Man Records to bring their compelling and unique archive to light, going beyond the hugely successful Alternative Funk compilations that launched the label, to again create a compilation from their cult cassette releases, in this instance Audiologie N°4 - The Independant Psychedelic Trip and Audiologie 5 et 6 - Ethniques Urbaines. Run by Axel Kyrou (Vox Populi!) and Francis Man (FR6 Man / Kosa), their label, releasing cassettes, 7” and LPs b…
Nico Niquo’s ‘Esperanto’ sees the Australian artist return to Orange Milk Records six years since his album ‘In A Silent Way’, and on this new release, Nico builds upon the framework of his last two records for the label: still, ghostly Grime, retro-futurist synthesizer arpeggios, and flourishes of New Age ambiance.
With a tactile clunk, Bitchin Bajas (Cooper Crain, Rob Frye and Dan Quinlivan) bubble to the surface. Bajascillators, arriving almost five years since their last official full-length, 2017’s Bajas Fresh, is a riveting new full-length springing forth from the implacable, eternal gene pool that's also included soundtracks, re-imagined cuts from Sun Ra's catalog, and collaborations with Natural Information Society and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy among their illustrious recorded output. Following the flow…
This month's Electronic Sound cover stars are the one and only Pet Shop Boys and we're bundling the issue with a gorgeous gold vinyl seven-inch featuring previously unreleased live versions of three of the duo's best and biggest tracks.
**100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking** "Years and years ago, I went through my collection of old cassettes and transferred many of them. Within the dark corners, I found some rarely played cassettes by De Fabriek, and when I heard those again, I realized why I hadn't played those a lot. One was with P. Funk and called 'Music For Hippies'. Today I learned that not all those old cassettes will be re-issued on CD, which I think is good. I also learned that behind P. Funk there are a…
“Recoiled” is a rambunctious alchemy, of magikal Coil sensibilities and hi-tech home circa 90’s mixing technique, all fused in the cave-like early studios of Danny Hyde (Coil, Electric Sewer Age) / Peter Christopherson (Coil, Throbbing Gristle). These were the unrestrained Pre- big studio- mix downs, of four songs which long time Coil admirer / collaborator Trent Reznor requested Coil to remix. Reznor sent over the original multi-tracks and DATs to Hyde / Christopherson, who independently mixed …
*2024 stock* With the second part of her trilogy with the solo project Sonority, the Finnish experimental vocalist creates a global vision while being trapped in Copenhagen, and invites the listener to question our modern life and its often destructive relation to nature.
Ironically, in a time where the Covid-19 pandemic has forced most of us into involuntary isolation, vocalist and experimental composer Johanna Elina Sulkunen was forced to abandon her plan of isolating herself in a small cottag…
*100 copies limited edition* New-York based artist Viul returns to the label with a new release. Initially only available as part of a special edition of Viul's Dauw debut 'Secret Recess' released early 2024, 'Green Corridor' now gets a proper physical and digital release and leaves its addendum phase. While being recording in the same period, the pieces on this 30 minutes album undeniably share some commonalities with the sound aesthetics of 'Secret Recess'. However, the thicker synth pads and …
**30th Anniversary Edition. Remastered reissue, first on vinyl** Released in 1994 ‘Sound Mind Sound Body’ decrees the massive impact of discreet gestures; slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time In 1987, Rafael Toral began making his own compositions and solo recordings. 30 years later, these recordings sound remarkably prescient and perfectly timeless - almost fresher today than when they wer…
Bitchin Bajas are back... Bitchitronics, is ready with the quickness we expect from the Chi-based duo -- which is funny, since their area of expertise and mastery is in the area of synthetic ephemeral sonic languid-ity known more instinctively, inclusively (and let's face it, irresponsibly) as drone music. They make slow music at a fast pace is what we're saying. Now these guys are paying attention to this on the micro-level because that's where their fun is, so how will you react when we…
Slovakian producer Monika Subrtova presents her first solo LP ‘Toon’ - a collection of chilly visions drawing on influences from 90s Electronica, Techno and film composition. Until recently, the majority of Subrtova’s work has been released and performed alongside Daniel Kordik under their raucous project Jamka. Whether working collaboratively or alone - Subrtova adopts the spirit of modular synthesis, allowing music to unfurl naturally through presence with the machines and progressive paramete…

*Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely following 'I…
A deeply enigmatic duo of trumpet and drums augmented by live electronics and an expanded percussive array (tam-tam, multiple high hats etc.), Stonecipher is a mesmerising work that operates in the blurred regions between the electronic and acoustic. Dörner's electronics have never been more effective, creating viscous clouds of sound which are illuminated by Sanders' sparse, precise formations, producing a dense fabric of insidious extended tones, gradual inclines and sudden drops, and sounds t…
*100 copies limited edition* The latest album from one of Sweden's most iconic ambient acts. "Bathe In Black Light" is a haunting ode to the night, to the darkness that is not blindness, to the intense tranquility and boundless inner wilderness of the void.

Running time 55 minutes. 100 copies in Marbled grey & back.
*300 copies limited edition* Initiated at the beginning of the year 2022, Olomuhd is a shared vision bringing together multi-instrumentalists Samuel Vaney (Cortez, Muhd, Fargue) and long time collaborator Loïc Grobety (OLO, Convulsif). Sharing a common passion for abrasive textures, deconstructed rhythms, enveloping and dense layers, this album, presented as a single track, is a distinct entity, an ageless and lush exploration, at times contemplative and airy, at times impetuous and massive. It …
*300 copies limited edition* A new face in the already profound roster of Harlow MacFarlane’s (Funerary Call, Stars Without Light...) body of work, Phantom Pinnacles presents a dense Odyssey of tragic themes and long-lost moments. From the first to the last echoed fragment, Between Voices presents a fragile ambience that only exists in a reawakening memory from the forgotten corners of the mind.Vignettes of swarming synthesizers and humbled symphonies weave into off-kilter, melancholic melodies,…
