(untitled) Kingdom
Black To Comm’s Marc Richter returns under his Jemh Circs guise for a 2nd album of sonic abstractions. In contrast to Black To Comm’s analogue tape and vinyl based sound, in Jemh Circs he works with digital sources by primarily sampling modern Pop Music (and various other oddities) on YouTube (et al.) and sending chunks of it through a variety of arcane transformations and mutations. Using similar esoteric methods as on his 2016 debut album but with very different results the record decon…

**Edition of 300, last copies** When it comes to music, time and geography can have a strange effect. Divisions form and dissolve. Things which were heard are can be forgotten. Things which were not are often remembered. As many of us know, this is increasingly the effect of the reissue market, with its radical reappraisals for history, pulling the lost and obscure from the shadows - musical objects now given the ability to travel and gain the attention they deserve. One of the more fascinating …
Buy
Another newly reissued album included infamous and influential NWW list. An angular & brilliant mix of free jazz & post-punk funk, this seminal 1979 album is the quintessential No Wave release & the spark for much of what has come out of the Downtown New York music scene. Although James Chances Contortions had already appeared on Brian Enos legendary No New York compilation in 1978, Buy was the groups first full-length LP. An angular and brilliant mix of free jazz and post-punk funk, this semina…
Bload Stations * Syntax Error
Vinilisssimo present a reissue of Polonio's Bload Stations * Syntax Error, originally released in 1987. Eduardo Polonio has been one of the key names of Spanish music since the late 1960s, especially as a pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music. He was a member, with Luis de Pablo and Horacio Vaggione, of Grupo Alea Electrónica Libre (1970-1972), the first Spanish group of live electronic music; and he was one of the main figures of Barcelona's Laboratorio Phonos since 1976. He was also a …
Hardscore
C.P. reproduction of this obscure early 80s affair between the GRM-aligned French Composer Michel Redolfi and venerable Free Sax proponent André Jaume. Featuring easily the worst cover imaginable (hence its appearance in the maligned 199.x serié) this two-part suite is actually a hidden gem of rogue Acoustic-Electronic interplay & tight, blocky Concrète moves, heavily featuring Redolfi's Synclavier interjections.
The A-Side's Jaume-led suite features a quartet w/ Jean-Marc Montera on gui…
Kavafis Songs, Antiphonies
ncredible, unheralded set of music by Νικηφόρος Ρώτας (Nikiforos Rotas), incorporating Electronic & Experimental modes into mid-70s Éntekhno & Sound-Poetry forms.The first record, "Τραγούδια Καβάφη" (Kavafis Songs) sets works by early 20th Century Alexandrian poet Constantine P. Cavafy to music. Much in the vein of "Works of Electronic Music" contributor Thanos Mikroutsikos' experiments formulating a more Avant-Garde strain of Éntekhno from the mid-70s onwards, Rotas' use of non-musical sounds, …
Smog, Musique Electroacoustique
Despite the all-time top-ten C.P. GOAT title "Greek Electronic Music-1" & it's counterpart "Works of Electronic Music", the series has seen precious little Greek Early Electronic Music. Attempts to secure copies of key Nikiforos Rotas, Nikos Mamagakis, & Dragatakis Koutouki sides have been futile for some time, until one of the key C.P. cabal struck gold in the form of this epic double-LP Tape Music suite by Greek Composer Kyriakos Sfetsas, released alongside the two Roland Hollinger LPs on the …
Electronic Etudes (Op 18) Songs For Synthesized Soprano (Op 19)
Issued on the Composer's Private Doria imprint in 1982 & featuring two side-length suites of music; "Electronic Etudes (Op. 18)" & "Songs For Synthesized Soprano (Op. 19)" this debut LP of music by American Composer & Improvising Thereminist Eric Ross was well off of my radar until one of the core C.P. Cabal brought it to light.Featuring a salacious bevy of instrumentation: Buchla 200, Serge Modular, Moog III, Moog 10, Brewer Custom Synthesizer, Theremin, etc. this set transposes & processes aco…
Primitivo
Second release in Buh's "Sounds Essentials Collection," documenting the history of Experimental Music in Peru. Miguel Flores is, alongside musicians such as Arturo Ruiz del Pozo, Luis David Aguilar or Manongo Mujica, one of the most important representatives of that period that spans from mid 70s to mid 80s, when experimenting musically in Peru united modern composing techniques of avant garde music and the search of the sounds of mother land. Miguel Flores’ Primitivo is as mind-blowing as they …
Composiciones Nativas
Subtitled "Music for Native Peruvian Instruments and Magnetophonic Tape (1978)" this is a wonderful collection of pieces composed between 1976 & 1978 at the Royal College's EMS by Peruvian composer Arturo Ruiz del Pozo. Ranging from extended tape-loop meditations to application of mystical folk instrumentation & enharmonic percussion sonorities, this is an incredibly eye-opening survey of the work of a composer of whose work I was completely unfamiliar prior to this issue.Like many countries in …
Green Graves
**Repress, limited edition of 500** Dominick Fernow (Prurient/Vatican Shadow) returns to his most quietly intriguing alter ego for this expansive new triple album, originally made as a limited run 3 x cassette pack that were not made available for sale. Big recommendation if you’re into Coil, Demdike Stare, Brian Eno / Jon Hassell’s Fourth World.
It's a jaw-dropping journey into the heart of dark, rhythmic ambient music from Fernow's most reclusive and unpredictable alter ego, feted for a …

Wovenland
Serie of recordings made by Toshiya Tsunoda & Taku Unami in different locations and then processed through different playback speed, noise gate or parallel editing.For 15 years, the Yokohama based artist Toshiya Tsunoda has been releasing remarkable acoustic works into a world that he seems to hear like no one else. His CDs are the most idiosyncratic and rigorous to be found among the many field recording releases of recent years, though his work is just as easy to place in the sound art frame..…
