Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts (LP, Coloured)
Huge Tip! *White vinyl with obi strip* Twenty years into their singular journey, Valence-based trio France have become one of Europe's most hypnotic live forces - a hurdy-gurdy-powered engine generating waves of kraut, psych, folk and drone that blur the boundaries between physical experience and altered consciousness.
Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts captures the band in full flight during their very first English tour, recorded at The state51 Factory in East London. Until this tour, UK audiences ha…
Material (LP)
* Special embossed, die-cut sleeve with 56-page booklet - 200 copies on black vinyl * Aude Van Wyller (aka Oï les Ox, aka AI les Axes) joins forces with acclaimed poet Lucy Van, author of The Open (2021) and Australian Women's Historical Photography (2024). This debut collaboration weaves together Van Wyller's ambient mutations with Van's incisive, luminous words.
In Material, words reach for the image, sounds reach for the word, and one thing becomes another. The result is an intimate, tactile …
Espaces Inhabitables / Démeures Acquatiques / Medisances / Variations en Etoile / Capture Ephémère (2 reel-to reel tapes)
Amazing find: two reel to reel tapes with electro-acoustic compositions from 1967-1969 made at GRM (apparently by Bernard Parmegiani) and destined to be used for public or private listening, coming from composer Franca Sacchi's archive of tapes for her listening sessions in Milano around 1969/1970. With cyclostyled/typewritten notes about the pieces and the composers.
Dou Dou Doudo: Ao Vivo Na Cooperativa Árvore
*300 copies limited edition* Audio taken from a live performance by Anar Band (Jorge Lima Barreto and Rui Reininho) with E.M. de Melo e Castro in November of 1978 at Cooperativa Árvore, Porto. The performance was filmed. A segment was included in »Obrigatório Não Ver«, a weekly programme presented by Ana Hatherly on Public Television’s Second Channel. It was not possible to determine the exact date of the event, and no documentation seems to be available in the relevant archives. »Encontro que T…
On Beheading the Thalassocratic Vipers
Snapshots of an empire downfall black helixes elongated insectile forms a projection over the desert burning surface scimitar smiles through pillars of black smoke emerald shards lit night eyes that see all crosshairs obsidian steel ghosts haunting the night geography in flames born under treason's ulcerous mouth.To behead the vipers one by one.

No New York
*2026 Repress* No New York: The Legendary 1978 Snapshot of NYC's Underground Punk Explosion Returns to Spotlight. One of the brightest and most famous projects of the entire punk/new wave scene, No New York captures the raw chaos and innovation of New York City's underground art and music world. Originally released in 1978 on Island Records' sub-label Antilles, this groundbreaking compilation—produced by the visionary Brian Eno—features four of the most daring, rule-breaking bands from the NYC s…
Triple Cool Hang
On Triple Cool Hang, Family Underground turn two decades of haze into a single spool of time, threading freezing‑church jams, Brooklyn collaborations, and after‑hours Copenhagen séances into deep, slow‑burning cuts that hum with tape hiss and lived‑in drone.
Kachouzu
On Kachouzu, Merzbow compresses his late‑period harshness into four short movements, a 2×6″ lathe‑cut blast where metallic textures, searing feedback and dense midrange roar behave less like tracks than like successive cross‑sections of the same noise storm.
Friction
The 1980 album Friction (軋轢, literally “friction”) stands as the moment Friction stop being a rumour from the Tokyo underground and become a fully formed threat on record. It is their first LP and the only one to feature singer Masatoshi Tsunematsu as a full member, with production by none other than Ryuichi Sakamoto, who helps translate the band’s live volatility into a lean, sharply contoured studio language. Coming out of the Tokyo Rockers milieu and carrying memories of time Reck and Chico H…
Live, Pass Tour '80
Live Pass Tour ’80 captures Friction at the precise moment their legend hardens into tape. Recorded during the Pass Tour at Kanagawa University in 1980, just as the band were releasing their first full‑length 軋轢 = Friction, this set has been described as the “definitive, fully edited document” of their early peak, preserving the original line‑up with singer Masatoshi Tsunematsu still fronting the group. Where studio takes tighten and cool their New York‑shaped no‑wave and Tokyo Rockers energy, t…
Collusion And Collaboration
Avant-garde multi-woodwind maestro Vinny Golia and innovative bassist-vocalist-composer Kelsey Mines unite in a dynamic duo recording. Stripping back to just their voices and instruments, this collaboration delivers finely nuanced interplay where Golia’s rich spectrum of woodwinds weaves organically with Mines' deep rhythmic foundation and expressive vocal textures.
Live at "Ex Mattatoio" in Roma
Recorded on 28 August 1984 at the Japan Japan Festival in Rome and originally issued the following year on the Marz label, Live At "Ex Mattatoio" In Roma captures Friction far from home but fully in their element. Playing inside the former abattoir of the Testaccio district - already a rough, resonant space in the city’s underground - Reck’s group bring the sharpened angles of Tokyo Rockers to a European audience, fusing serrated no‑wave guitar, thick, stalking bass lines, and clipped, incantato…
Holy Trinity
Rooted in Altman's exploratory practice, she weaves clarinet alongside a sparse palette of preparations, objects, tapes, and feedback. She crafts a series of pieces that are at once delicate and textural yet bold and expressive that reflect both the unique acoustics of the space and her subtle, inquisitive approach to sound, offering a contemplative and tactile listening experience that blurs the line between instrument, environment, and intervention.
Lament For The Maker
“In 2022, with the closing of Mills College imminent and my bicoastal life coming to an end along with it, I requested of my colleagues works I could perform to mark this loss, honor the school's great legacy, and conclude the thirteen years I spent teaching there. They all graciously agreed. Lament for the Maker is the title of a Jack Spicer poem originally published in San Francisco, in 1963.”
There are three recently commissioned works for solo harp and the final piece, berlin bedroom, an ong…
'79 Live
’79 Live catches Friction right as Japanese punk is mutating into something stranger and more angular, a December 1979 set that sounds like it was recorded with the mics pointed straight at the band’s collective nervous system. The trio are all attack and recoil: sharp, metallic guitar figures slashing across a rhythm section that alternates between locked‑groove insistence and sudden, collapsing turns. Vocals arrive in bursts of English and Japanese, more incantation and accusation than sing‑al…
Spirit of Eden
On Spirit Of Eden, Talk Talk dissolve the idea of a “band” into a hushed, slow‑burning soundscape, six long pieces where jazz, blues, chamber music, and near‑silence fuse into something that feels less like an album and more like a single, ritual act of listening.
Marquee Moon
On Marquee Moon, Television reinvent rock as tense, skeletal architecture, eight songs built from interlocking guitars, nervous poetry, and negative space, culminating in a title track that turns a ten‑minute solo into pure street‑lit vertigo.
Desaparecido
On Desaparecido, Litfiba ignite their “trilogia del potere” with eight songs where British‑tinged new wave collides with Mediterranean melody and political allegory, turning Italian rock into something at once cosmopolitan, urgent, and obstinately local.
