La Vie Electronique 8
*Released in 8-panel Digipak. Includes a 20-page booklet in German and English.* The eighth part of "La Vie Electronique" contains a selection of titles that were created in the years from 1977 onwards, outside of the productions for the albums "Mirage", "Dune" or "Dig It". These showed a significant change in Klaus Schulze's way of playing and composing. This was not least due to the renewal and expansion of his instrument pool. This gave Schulze the opportunity to play and record his music wit…
La Vie Electronique 7
*Released in 8-panel Digipak. Includes a 20-page booklet in German and English.* "Re: People I Know" is the first of two long pieces that Klaus played at his concert in Düsseldorf on September 30, 1977, similar to the impressive piece that Klaus Schulze performed in Brussels the same year at "St. Michael's Cathedral". has played. "Avec Arthur": During the long tour in 1979, Klaus played a long solo piece that filled the first half of the concerts as usual. After the break, Arthur Brown joined fo…
Weltuntergang
*Limited Edition of 200 copies.* Autopsia is a cult art project dealing with music and visual production. Its art practice began in London in the late 1970s and continued during the 1980s in the art centers of the former Yugoslavia. Since 1990, Autopsia has acted from Prague, Czech Republic. Above all Autopsia is not concerned with music. What is Autopsia? Art? Theory? Framing? Projection? Gaze? Autopsia is language is image is sound. Autopsia is atombstone on the grave of time. Autopsia is arch…
Ache
The Ache album was originally released in 1982 on JG Thirlwell’s Self Immolation label, whilst he was resident in London. It was recorded at Lavender Sound Studio in South London and engineered by Harlan Cockburn. On its release it was acclaimed by the music press, John Peel and even cited by Leonard Cohen on more than one occasion. Over the years the album has become a highly sought-after collectors item.
Into Dark Water
Following on from the excellent "Scene In Mirage" reissue that broke O Yuki Conjugate to a whole new crowd, Emotional Rescue return to the archives of the over-looked Nottingham "dirty ambient" outfit. Their second LP "Into Dark Water", originally released in 1987, is just as powerful as the first - a hypnagogic journey fuelled by a global stew of sound, feeding into elegant, evocative pieces. Fans of classic Jon Hassell will find much to enjoy here, but equally those appreciating the exotic pos…
La Vie Electronique 6
The sixth part of the out-of-print series offers recordings from the second half of the 70s. La Vie Electronique Vol. 6 contains three CDs. The first disc features numbers that Klaus Schulze played at a concert in Oberhausen in 1976, including "Schwanensee". The whole thing is supplemented by two solo pieces that Klaus Schulze recorded in the same year in the then newly established studio in Hambühren. The finale is the title “Fear At Madame Tussaud’s”, recorded in April 1977 in the London Plane…
La Vie Electronique 5
The rarities of the electronic pioneer Klaus Schulze were previously released in a strictly limited edition, called "The Ultimate Edition" and document the history and the rich diversity of this exceptional musician, even more impressive than on his official releases. Now these recordings - completely remastered and for the first time in chronological order - are available in elaborate editions: Every episode contains 3 CDs in high-quality "vinyl look" with digipack including booklet with detail…
La Vie Electronique 4
The third in Klaus Schulze's series of three-disc compilations of live and rare material (all of it previously released in his 50-disc Ultimate Edition box from 2000) is pure bliss for fans of early-'70s analog synthesizer music. The melodies swoop and whoosh like comets passing by a slowly drifting space station manned by dudes and ladies in unisex jumpsuits with long, perfectly coiffed hair, and beards on the men. Close your eyes and you're there. Many of these tracks are grouped into half-hou…

La Vie Electronique 2
*Issued in 8-panel digipak with 20-page booklet.* As a member of seminal "kosmische" groups Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream, and throughout his long and distinguished solo career, Klaus Schulze has emerged as one of the pioneers of modern electronica. Pulsing analog sequencer rhythms and proto-ambient synth drones, presaged developments in techno and trance by nearly two decades. The three-disc set, La Vie Electronique 2, is the second in a comprehensive reissue program focused on rare tracks …
Irrlicht
After his involvement w/ the monster debut albums by both Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Schulze went solo and this is the first album (originally issued on OHR, 1972). The first of many classic space rock/trance epics; long tracks in which Schulze plays everything (electronic machines, organ, guitar, percussion, much more), this is some of the finest German Kosmiche Musik there, staggering work and really quite underrated once you get outside his cult following.
Cyborg 2017 Remastered
Second solo album of Schulze with a Cosmic Orchestra (12 cellos, 3 basses, 30 violins, 4 flutes) from 1973 (originally issued on Kosmiche Musik). This is a longer, ninety-minute odyssey into the strange musical world of Klaus Schulze as first unveiled on Irrlicht. Electrical sounds, synthesizers and manipulated recordings of classical instruments (cello, violin) combine to create chamber music for the electronic age, divided into four side-long works that each balance the equation differently. O…
Haus Der Lüge
Einstürzende Neubauten pushes the industrial humor to new creative peaks; taking a genre of music only meant to offend and confuse people into even more ***ed up territories. The music is surprisingly tragic, strangely moving, and is an experience that can only be called 'artistic'.
Chomolhari (LP)
On 1984's Chomolhari, new age pioneer Karma Moffett eschews the arsenal of Tibetan bells and resonant singing bowls, which he usually uses to conjure his healing ambient works. Instead, he opts for the shimmering arpeggiation and gentle glissando of the Moog synthesizer. With this aural palette, he soundtracks a rich inner voyage of peace and reflection. Bookended by the calming drone of the Tibetan longhorn, the trip to Chomolhari and back is one worth taking again and again.
Karma Moffett re…
Ashbalkum
Human Pitch is proud to welcome Salamanda to the label for the release of their 3rd LP, ashbalkum––a portal into unseen worlds, enchanting stasis and laughter in the face of our evolving realities. Across an effervescent 39-minute runtime, ashbalkum provides a spellbinding view into how we interact with the world around us––one where one’s own being, language, & nature itself are all rendered infinitely mutable. Written during the surrealist landscape of summer 2021 somewhere between a sweet dre…
Ethernity
Simona Zambolis first album on Mille Plateaux "Ethernity" is a piece of haunting music - vibrating, pulsing and cutting through the concrete and the chaos at the same time, when you listen close enough. The album is a journey through trans-reality, not only as a melancholic drama, but also as a travel to alien worlds, hence as a necessity of an electronic intervention. "Ethernithy" is radical fictioning in a non-expressive, non-melancholic and ultrablack sense. Profound music demands blackness, …
KWALK
Wah Wah Wino's Davy Kehoe, Morgan Buckley and Olmo are joined by avant legend Roger Doyle, among others, on a delectably brilliant, 54 minute collage teased together over the past 3 years. Dont miss this!!!!
The Flower, The Bird, And The Mountain
During the late 2010s, music lovers around the world began obsessively listening to increasingly esoteric albums on Youtube. More often than not, they’d leave the browser on autoplay. This was how Facundo Arena, the composer and producer behind The Kyoto Connection, discovered the technonaturalistic pleasures of Kankyō Ongaku (environmental music), a distinctly Japanese interpretation of European, British and American minimalist composition and ambient music. “It was a kind of algorithmic magic,…
The Exquisite Corpse Shall Drink the New Wine
*Edition of 300 numbered copies Die-cut cardboard outer sleeve, color print inner sleeve + poly-liner sleeves.* "The exquisite corpse shall drink the new wine", wrote the French Surrealists almost 100 years ago, and from this missive stems the parlor game in which we partake here. Through obscuring the tower itself, they cobble together meandering staircases in which to ascend with absent-minded haste; spontaneous line-weaving amasses figures and phrases into new planes of thought, therefore hol…
R.S.F.
*In process of stocking.* 'Meth.O.Tapes' catalogue opens up on a programmatic framework in the form of Gil.Barte's first LP. Developped as an experimental exploration rather than a narrative, this object called « R.S.F » is a recollection of intriguing sonic pictures. Tracks neither really start nor they finish, pieces of an apparently unreasolvable puzzle like pages of a fantastic bestiary long forgotten.
