Chaque Rémanence Se Rappelant À Son Souvenir Propre
Imagine a long walk along a path marked out by small granite walls. You meet people who tell you incredible stories. A dense journey from which you emerge transformed, intensely psychedelic.

Tourne-Disque
300 copies limited edition A siren sounds. Is it the keel coming to free the worker from her harsh task? Or the call of an iron whale inviting us to set sail for the depths? End of work, beginning of the dream: the grooves here will not be the fruit of plowing but moving reliefs to be explored. Because if there is indeed a paradoxical guide capable of activating the levers of such a liberation of esgourdes, by playing at will with the effects of sliding between the concrete and the abstract, the…

The composer has developed stereo versions of the pieces as well, which are found on the included CD-Audio.

Aura
Aura captures the unmatched synergy between two of AMM's core figures, percussionist Eddie Prévost and pianist John Tilbury, who also explores the harpsichord in this release. Recorded in the acoustically rich setting of The Sibelius Museum in Turku, Finland, this album offers a meditative, deeply intimate experience through extended improvisations that emphasize AMM's ethos of creating expansive, ambient soundscapes. With Prévost's textural percussive approach and Tilbury's subtle, evolving cho…
KUM - Percorsi intrecciati con Franco Battiato
300 copies. Double LP, gatefold cover + inserts. After Juke Box (1977), between September 1978 and March 1979, the inseparable Giusto Pio and Franco Battiato committed to three pieces that should be interpreted as a single work since they both pursue and envision a sound that is independent of any form of language: Motore immobile, L’Egitto prima delle sabbie, and Rappel. Motore Immobile by Pio (completed in October 1978) was published only in 1979 to avoid interfering with the release/publicati…
Discorporation: The Original Soundtrack
Edition of 300. For his fourth Feeding Tube release, Curtis Godino (now a resident of the greater Nashville area) has created a soundtrack album for a destroyed film that exists only in his mind. Playing with a raft of fine musicians, unencumbered by having to match his music up with an actual extant images, Curtis has created a suite of tunes that are stylistically connected to his earlier works, yet expand themselves into hitherto unexplored realms. A well-regarded maestro of the organ and Mel…
Orange
Snoopy is hard to follow up. The same brilliant musicality is lavished on Orange — a combination of unmistakably original, skittering drum programming, startlingly fresh instrumental interjections, creepily invocatory voices, and dubwise treatments — giddily imbued with the dark arts of ritual and seance. But Orange is more gripping, focussed and urgent, more intense and ambitious. Next level. Its first quarter presents a trio of forays in suspense. Bassline squares up like an epic psych-funk g…
Soft Focus : Volume Two
Tip! Edition of 250. It is absolutely appropriate the second volume of Wednesday Knudsen’s Soft Focus suite appears as spring finally begins to take hold. Like the brilliant first section of this work (the whole of which was initially released on CD), the music here is a celebration of shimmering sunlight and the awakening of nature’s tonal brilliance. But where the first LP focused on more bite-sized pieces of work, this one envisions and documents instrumental horizons that are ever expanding.…
H'art Songs
Moondog singing Moondog? Really! even goodness knows, Moondog doesn't sing a song; he shows you how it goes."
Moroccan Electroacoustic Music 1972-74
Huge Tip! Composer Ahmed Essyad was born in Salé, Morocco, in 1938. After studying music at the Rabat Conservatoire (Morocco) he moved to Paris in 1962, where he became a student of Max Deutsch and, later, his assistant. Trained in the avant-garde practices of Western musical composition, he also claimed the Amazigh folk music of Morocco as a fundamental source of inspiration for his work. In 1965, he was already incorporating elements of oral tradition in his work so as to question the language…

Jennifer Gentle
*2024 stock* Jennifer Gentle are one of the most idiosyncratic Italian bands ever. Led by singer, guitarist and sometimes only member Marco Fasolo, they started their career in the early Noughties as slightly stoned-out-of-their-minds teens equally able to manage short psych pop explosions and 20-minute brain melting freakouts. They quickly recorded a couple of self-released albums that raised some interest abroad and became the first Italian band to sign to American label Sub Pop, releasing two…

The sound? I…

Eine Nacht Volume Three
Volume 3. On September 13th, 2023 a musical collision occurred between The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol and Dead Sea Apes. With a room booked and a full moon glowing, the doors were locked and for the next 120 minutes, the nine members created nirvana/chaos where, with no direction, all possibilities were endlessly explored. Like hearing the lost Amon Düül recording you've waited 50 years for, Glenn Branca's wall of guitars, the shamanic cacophony of The Boredoms, psych melters Comets on Fire, an…
