A Cosmic Serenade
"The eagerly awaited follow-up to Drape Me in Velvet is here! In the making for quite some time it features a large cast of players and in the midst of it all Mr Musette himself - Joel Danell. This man has carved a niche for himself with a sound w…
Tongue
Oren Ambarchi and Johan Berthling are two masters of reducing music's peak intensities to their root meaning. Oren's early solo guitar works rendered this process with an instantly recognisable combination of sine wave throb and precisely controll…
Concerts
2016 restock. Originally released in 1976, this collection offers a snapshot of Henry Cow as audiences would have heard it in the year before. In the chronology, Concerts came between In Praise of Learning and Western Culture -- that is, after Vir…

All Tense Now Lax
CD edition. Hermetically sealed and reveling in tumult, All Tense Now Lax is the most significant and developed work yet forged by Liberez. Based in main orchestrator John Hannon's remote studio No Recordings in Rayleigh, England, Liberez have e…
Shock-A-Lock-A-Lickum
Where to start with Eddy Detroit? Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, it was there, in 1966, that he was in attendance for the first Iguanas gigs (Iggy Stooge's first band). He joined the White Panther party in Detroit and was "there" for the pre-p…
Yamedan
"Self produced album from Niger Tuareg rock outfit TisDass. Looping electric guitar and thumping two chord rhythms. Led by singer songwriter Kildjate Moussa Albadé, former bassist for Group Bombino, his solo project draws on his vast repertoire of i…
Nouakchott Wedding Songs
Raucous and electrified wedding songs from the desert kingdom of Mauritania. Luxurious overload of microtonal scales, phaser pedals, and unpredictable polyrhythms. Documentation of a little known music scene where disparate influences meet in beautif…
Calling Out Of Context
"The compilation that started the renaissance. In 2002 Audika Records entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with the estate of Arthur Russell to compile and issue previously unreleased and out of print material from Arthur's vast archive. Thi…
Live at Trans Musicales, Rennes, France, 7th December 1996
If a music critic could design their own super group, it might look something like the one that released the experimental, unique, and pulse-quickening 1996 album Cubist Blues. The trio–Suicide’s Alan Vega, Big Star’s Alex Chilton, and singer-songwri…
Deux Deserts
Astounding electric guitar and lapsteel solo work by Guilhem Lacroux, the music diviner if any. The thirty single minute-long tracks present on this motion picture soundtrack will take you far-out in this far-west slide show of sonic landscapes and n…
Percussion Loops
"On this record, Mads Emil Nielsen divvies up two sides of 7” with a healthy ratio of two to two drum loops, each offering a smattering of ricocheting, crackling and structureless percussion, occasionally abetted with a bit of the ol’ synth additive.…
Crutches
No Balls is Drajan Bryngelsson and Dan Råberg from Brainbombs. Filthy and monotonous protopunk. Drums and guitars, with some vocals and trumpets thrown in occasionally. Kind of like a mix of Brainbombs and DNA. Raw and intense. “Crutches” is a brand …
Dinner / Come on baby / Real man
Shetahr is a three headed trash pop band from Brussels. They are primitive, demented and existential. Driven by animalistic drums, edgy guitare and a howling voice they'll bite your face off. Expect a stripped down set-up and a raw performance. Their…
Playing The Schoolhouse
Playing The Schoolhouse, a new CD EP length composition by David Sylvian recorded in March of this year in Norway. Based on an improvisation by Jan Bang and Sylvian it also features contributions from Otomo Yoshihide and Toshimaru Nakamura. 'Confront…
Orgasm
An absolute psychedelic tribal UFO and proto-industrial-noise in the story of music. A pioneer touch of Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Whitehouse, Test Department mixed with something full stoned and tribal ... ahead of its time in the 60's !!! This epic a…
Divers
The dreamer dreams again with her 4th album of otherworldly microcosms, 'Divers', recorded by Steve Albini and featuring contributions by Nico Muhly and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, arriving five years since her last opus for Drag City.…
