De Dentro Hacia Afuera
This is a cassette-only limited edition of 250 copies. From child actor to teenage pop idol, from self-confessed "extreme sound freak" to acclaimed solo recording artist, the UK-based Simon Turner Fisher's career has been nothing if not varied.

Emeralds
RESTOCKED!! Brand new full length from Cleveland's Emeralds recorded Aug-Sept 2008. Proper follow up to their debut LP 'Solar Bridge', 'EMERALDS' takes the thick drone sound of that LP and transforms it into an even more abstract and strange place. Visual music that lifts the listener up and transports them through tubes of sound occasionally to be swept into the opposite direction by an unexpected entrance into another world entirely. An intense journey that drops you off in a place just be…

Crash Course In Science (Friends Edition)
Legendary Minimal-Synth/Wave-Band from Philadelphia formed in 1979. Choosing toy instruments and live drums out of necessity, Crash Course in Science began by experimenting with a series of recording devices. The toy instruments gave way to crude drum machines and “Frankenstein“-type homemade instruments. Their first 7“ (also included with bonus tracks in this set) introduced listeners to a noisy, unpredictable world. This 7” went on to become a classic minimal-synth record that should be includ…

Cardew - it consists of two recordings made during the first public performance by the Scratch Orchestra. The concert took place on the 1st of November 1969, at Hampstead Town Hall, London
Schauzeichen
This 10" is the most condensed kind of a summary of the sound of [multer] in its whole variety from 1997 to 2003. From abstract soundscapes with added field-recordings to hypnotically looping song-derivates or even shorter running proto-tech. ………and everything fits.The three-piece out of Dortmund, Germany produces timeless music, that may appeal to fans of Labradford, with its swirling, timestretched guitar-chords. But, also connoisseurs of home electronica and avantgarde music may like to give …
Through The Barricades
Barbed are Alex Burrow and Alex McKechnie. They formed in London in 1988, and spent the next six years working on their “album”. During that time they worked pretty much 14 hours a day, seven days a week. They didn’t go out or see anyone. Their high concept was to avoid cliche; create a music they’d never heard before and which worked completely in its own space by its own rules. Thanks to the amazing patience and encouragement of These Records (or Recommended Records as they were known then) th…
Carl's On Acit
After quite some silence here come two unheard tracks by the mysterious German duo Cranioclast. In keeping with the spirit of the 10” travel document series, issued by the krev ministry of detours, Cranioclast provide two rhythmic tracks in the form of cocktail recipes. Side 1 utilizes a crazed out beatbox sound and intermingles the beat patterns with all kinds of noise and tape splicings. Woven in with this active soundscape is Cranioclast’s signature sound – distant voices. This time the human…
VPRO RadioNome
Luc Van Acker is all except an obscure musician. Already from his solo records in the early 80's he has been building a name for himself as a multi talented musician and performer. While his early works are rather experimental he later joined forces with other musicians (who have become famous with bands like Front 242 and Ministry) to create a more rock orientated industrial / electronic act called Revolting Cocks. The session on this record is from 1981 and thus a very early piece of music in …
VPRO RadioNome
Kaa Antilope from Belgium is possibly one of the better kept secrets from the 1980's. Known to few people but loved by those. The reason is simple... this band was unique with their wonderful neo romantic, playful and melancholy sound. Their songs are best described as experimental synthpop with a poetic touch. Only one 7" record was released in 1982. Even today their music stands out with its very special sound of its own. There has not been a single other band since the 1980's that can be comp…
The Everything And The Nothing
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Celer is a husband (Will) and wife (Danielle) duo from California that use a variety of strings as the basis for their sound. Cello, viola, violin and the sounds are mixed in with field recordings, choir, live theremin and then tape spliced and re-assembled in varying lengths to create a loop base. Those sounds are then sampled, layered and processed. The result is a shimmering orchestra. Periods of silence between the notes only enhance the sound. Though at time…
Redrawn, Soccer Committee & Machinefabriek Remixed And Covered
Limited copies back in stock. Last year's 'Drawn' from the amazing duo of Soccer Committee and Machinefabriek was a flickering beacon of hope in its understated beauty. A record which improved with age, the simple and unfussy folk songs were helped along by Rutger Zuydervelt's careful (and incredibly restrained) electronic production, giving them an individuality only bolstered by Mariska Baars' stunning voice.
It was seemingly inevitable then that Rutger would get round to fielding the tracks o…
Shuffle
Limited copies back in stock. It's hard to believe that it's been almost a year since Rutger Zuydervelt helped nail our jaws to the floor with his exceptional album 'Dauw'. It used to be that there was a new Machinefabriek album almost every week (sometimes two or three) but since 'Dauw' it seems like Rutger's slowed down and withdrawn into a self-imposed silence . And that's no bad thing - 'Shuffle' is his first self-released record in some time and it shows in the near-obsessive quality of the…
Bust This!
This is an original copy of "Bust This", by far one of the best Z'ev albums,chosen in 1988 by The Wire as one of the greatest 50 percussion albums of all time. His brand of scrap-metal/found object percussion originates in intense musical training and background. Beginning with his days at the California Institute of the Arts, Z'EV has studied techniques such as Balinese Gamelan, EWE (Ghana), Tala (south India), and Vou Dun (Hati).
