The Beginning of Nothing
**100 copies** In just a few years and with a handful of releases, the Canadian producer better known as Yves Malone has earned himself a reputation. In The Beginning of Nothing he continues working with many layers of analog synths and a keen sense of drum machines to create atmospheres and textures extracted from late twentieth-century collective fears of a dystopian future. Created as a sort of score to an internal elegy, Yves Malone creates soundtracks of the daily fear, regret, and resignat…

**Limited, numbered edition of 50 copies. Comes in a han made velvet bag holding the cassette, an envelope with 4 prints and a pair of white, black or pink lace panties.** "I'm Hiroshi and I like beer" were the first words Hiroshi Hashimoto spoke to me when I picked him up from an airport in 2006.

Factitious Airs
Can a music made with the modern tools of digital music and contemporary production sound eerily as if created with the same equipment that Stockhausen, Henri and Berio all availed themselves of in the radio studios of the '50s and '60s – and yet sound bright and fresh to the ears of today's listeners? Robert Worby shows us how, with "Factitious Airs". — Carl Stone

Return of Black September
The excellent Black September, a continuous, five-part, 68-minute epic, is as formidably competent as ever, although more for the brooding, surreal nature of its soundworld than for its grooves, which here sound almost subsidiary. The soul samples and restlessly evolving minor-chord kaleidoscopes that unfold throughout the work is prima facie evidence of a musician on a roll. Boldly named after one of the most notorious Palestinian terrorist organizations, the group which carried out the Israeli…
