Circles
Several years after the release of ‘Metamorphosis’ (with Sid Hille), Multicast Dynamics (Samuel van Dijk) reemerges on Astral Industries with ‘Circles’ - an enchanting two-part work venturing into deep unconscious realms. Sonic landscapes unfold in a sequence of hidden spaces and intimate revelations, featuring detailed sound design and rich thematic content.
Circle One initiates the process, opening gently with glassy drones and the patter of distant voices. A faint light shimmers through swir…
Wormhole
Kreng transports us through the swirling darkness and into the unknown with “Wormhole”, his first album in over a decade. What does a trip towards another world sound like? We’re about to find out. The master of tension, melancholy, and the deranged is back after a long period working in the worlds of theatre and cinema. Last seen on Miasmah with the grief stricken The Summoner, Kreng now returns with Wormhole, following closer in the footsteps of the cult classics L’Autopsie Phénoménale de Dieu…
Through Time
Deaf Center travel through quiet pathways and grand boulevards in their fourth studio album “Through Time”. Since their last full-length LP, “Low Distance” (2019), the duo has gradually shifted towards a more long-form electroacoustic sound which perhaps makes for their most immersive listening experience so far. Otto A Totland’s piano travels in less frequent rhythms than before, yet is felt even more as a relief in the quieter moments that contrast with Erik K Skodvin’s deep atmospheric worlds…
Spiritually Unemployed
Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel dragged tape decks like sacr…
Kings & Queens
*50 copies limited edition* 'Kings and Queens' is a collaborative EP by the drone/ambient artist .foundation (Jake Carter) and cellist/ambient composer Henrik Meierkord. The record blends deep drone textures, granular synthesis, field recordings, and cello and violin – both processed as natural – into a slowly unfolding, hypnotic journey that moves between vast ambient soundscapes and intimate, emotive strings.
.foundation (pronounced just "foundation") is an ambient, drone, and soundscape proje…
Ianos
*100 copies limited edition* Ianos takes as its starting point the concept of duality as it is expressed through life and death, endings and beginnings. It marks another milestone collaboration between the artists Nhung Nguyen (aka Sound Awakener) and Maria Papadomanolaki (aka Dalot) who spent most of 2023 exchanging ideas, sculpting, forming and finalising the seven compositions in the album. As with previous releases, the two artists draw from their own personal experiences/memories and how th…
Canals
*300 copies limited edition* Shaped from fragile, emotionally charged piano motifs that distort, disappear and transform into dense, cinematic textures, 'Canals' is a debut that's finely matured, the result of years of friendship and growth. Italian artist Vanja Sturno and Montréal-based Belgian-Spanish composer Pablo Geeraert (aka Sanea Ima) have worked together extensively on various projects up until now, but 'Canals' is their first official release as a duo. Having both studied music academi…
Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn
*150 copies limited edition* FUMU christens the promising new label Return To Zero (RTZ) with Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn, the surrendering sophomore album from Nigerian artist, self-described “negro-producer”, hedonist, and iconoclast LINTD. With production collaboration from Porter Brook and features from Samrai (Swing Ting), Porter Brook, Sam Scott Francis (GOMID), Rizmi, and Imani Jendai. LINTD’s work emerges as a call and response between the tender, dynamic sounds of Black music across …
Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane
The music on this record is a reflection of journeys and travel. The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and Its impressions, rituals, superstitions-the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and…
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Sub Zero
Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's (aka The Bug) music couldn't go any slower, lower or deeper, Sub Zero emerges. A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience, the album gradually mutates into hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia. It is arguably Martin's most striking release to date under his given name. Originally released digitally on Bandcamp only in the depths of winter 2022, amid the final year of the Covid-19 pandemic and Russia's initial i…
In Dub
Emotional Rescue returns after a much-needed year hiatus, refreshed and ready, as it moves into its 15th year, to further explore the environs of oft-forgotten musical secrets and present them to new heads and minds. To celebrate, the label looks back to one of its favourite collaborations, the music of French ‘Ethno-Industrialists’ Vox Populi! in presenting a truly unique EP of “In Dub”, inspired remixes by 4 fellow Paris based artists of today in Full Circle, Froid Dub, Krikor and Shelter.
“In…
Radio-Activity
Radioactivity was Kraftwerk's fifth full-lenght release and their first fully electronic album. It is a concept album centered around radioactive decay and radio communications. As such it boasts a few big theme anthems surrounded by shorter variations of those themes with interconnecting shorter pieces of electronic music, sounds, and digitized voices."Kraftwerk built upon the international success of Autobahn by expanding their conceptual concepts to an album-length exploration of radio waves …
Let It Go
*300 copies limited edition* It has been twenty-five years since the seismic events of 2001—when twin towers collapsed under terrorist attack and Coventry's sonic insurgent Russell Haswell launched his inaugural salvo on the original Mego label with Live Salvage 1997–2000. The intervening era has delivered unrelenting turbulence: protracted wars, institutional corruption, a global pandemic, the resurgence of fascist currents, rampant media distortion, and omnipresent surveillance. For Haswell, a…
Hotel Infinito
**Contains metal plate (metal gong), artwork, pvc transparent folder, poster and stickers** Hotel Infinito is the new project by Missing Ear, Italian experimental drummer and sound designer based in Milan whose practice investigates listening as an embodied, spatial mode of perception. The new release continues his exploration of active listening as a sensorial and social act, confronting sonic overstimulation not as background noise but as a defining condition of contemporary life.
Conceived in…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
Sara Dale's Sensual Massage
Sara Dale's Sensual Massage was a delightful erotic video with a mystic soundtrack by Coil. Quite unusual for the band dreamy ambient, almost spa-relaxed soft harmonies, bland tribal rhythms, chimes, and birdsong but still with dark mysterious and inimitable Coil musick's charm. However, the second part of the album explores more rhythmic structures that remind 'Gay Man's Guide...' soundtrack. Besides the OST recordings, the edition includes bonus tracks from the "Basilisk prod.'s" era: “Theme …
Garden Of The Mutilated Paratroopers
2026 stock Limited 2x FAN CD EP of Airborne Electronics for the 75th anniversary of Screaming Eagles Radio and 82nd Neptune Death Row. Adrenaline drones, memorial distortion, windy feedback, loud speaker vocals with a heavy influence from the naked and neither fact-nor-fiction black humor drama forgotten style of Aquifer Sodality and Slaughter Productions.
L’Oreille Voleuse
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, listening, and theft as tender attention.
Omen Of The End
This autumn brings Omen of the End, where Regen Graves (Italian metal musician, mostly known for his work in Abysmal Grief) and Koldvoid unite to forge the darkest ambient split album possible. From the abyss, Regen Graves weaves hallucinatory synth incantations in the lineage of the vintage era of dark ambient, while Koldvoid's cinematic dread drifts like a phantom through haunted valleys of dream and decay.
Their communion becomes Omen of the End, a split album that opens a rift where time dis…
