Ex Aeqo
Their amazing 2nd album!! Paolo Cantù e Xabier Iriondo one more time together for a second chapter following s/t release of 2005 ( read past komareview ), - coming from previous series of free-jazz voltage to a new album somewhat tantric and stoned, untypical altough with kraut explosions (let me cite Kroko): i mean, it's the suicidal well-known sound of Wallace rec - that one wisely well-grounded in its sinister slants - perfect for a quarantine room.
Federico Ciappini (formerly from Six Minute…
Uncode Duello
Uncode Duello is the result of a long period of hard job, careful listenings, readings and visions, studying use of instruments, sounds, dynamics, of newest and oldest machines and technology. But not only. This is “The” record by Cantù and Iriondo, because they have produced and thought by themselves, making treasure of past experiences and putting all into it (SMWM, A Short Apnea, Tasaday, Four Gardens In One) meeting and crashing as it’s necessary for important projects. Twelve years in a "du…
tornare nella terra
Bachi's accalimed debut album, made of bowels, of sweat, of fields and ground. The sound is knead with the ground. The same ground who sands smelling messages to me. The sound is one with the ground. The voice is laying down on the music, just like bowing farmers in the fields to draw the lines. Sometimes it seems to only mime the words with the lips. Implied, just like the sweat, implied into the gesture that goes with. Another time it gives lyrics as charming as flavouring and charming as grap…
Oleo Strut
This series is done by small (80mm) CD packed in an envelope-style cardboard. Amazing release
An Indigo Ballad
Simply one of the most seminal band in italian underground rock in the last 10 years. Don't miss them. Hard to explain the birth of a band like A Short Apnea so ahead in the conception before that in the sounds to band borned in countries traditionally more evoluted. if the past experience of the protagonists, experienced to experimentation like to other musical kinds since early '80s. always in search of a music in which barriers between progressive, post rock, free jazz, avantgard and other do…
I could go on singing
After experiencing the straight-edge hardcore scene, he began exploring the many realms of noise. He played his "destructive" djing within the group/label/collective Sonic Belligeranza. Rocchetti is now working on the composition of cinematic musical landscapes with the aid of old rare records, dusty analogue instruments as source material (old radios, customized turntables, grammophones...).

Five Greeny Stages
Simply one of the most seminal band in italian underground rock in the last 10 years. Don't miss them.
Polvere
Xabier iriondo and mattia Coletti. Polvere by some means is the avant/kraut folk project of this couple of musicians and beside the experimental/post-psychedelic characteristics of the cd it shows their melodical/acoustic virtues.
EAReNOW
The invitation to open the windows is a tribute to the inclusive approach of much of the avant-garde of the last century, starting from Satie's Furniture Music, through Russolo's Art of Noises, up to Cage 4'33". Manifesto/container of the project, battimenti di scrittura mista [Mixed Handwriting] sums up the concepts developed in the whole work. Melody and noise, micro-pauses and temperament, suspension and rhythm alternate in a kaleidoscope of colours gradually enriching as it…
Tesa Musica Marginale
Pure core music, laically spiritual, in constant tension between order & chaos, law & anarchy, silence and loudness, modernism and tradition. Tense border music. Away from mainstream artistic path, the band keeps on his quest for an honest experimental musical language. Anatrofobia’s music is a mix of improvisation, writing, acoustic and electronics, experimentation of non-idiomatic structures, unique timbral combinations: Anatrofobia plays with constantly variable themes, saturation and rarefac…
In attesa, nel labirinto
One of their best releases so far - "Gruppo ormai storico che si avvicina a un nobile, quanto discreto, ventennale e che ha alle spalle un'assidua militanza tra le fila dell'industrial più sotterraneo, soprattutto in tempi come gli anni '80 in cui certi generi erano relegati a qualcosa di più marginale della semplice nicchia, i Tasaday si richiamano con questo loro ultimo lavoro In attesa, nel labirinto al …
Con il corpo crivellato di stelle
Just say the Hystory of the industrial avantgard in Italy, since 1981
...Just Arrived
2025 stock Simply one of the most seminal band in italian underground rock in the last 10 years. Don't miss them.
Rollerball
Portland Oregon's Rollerball are the very definition of a cult band. Their image is shrouded by aliases & self sustained mystique and their discography packed with hidden gems and genre warping artistry. In the decade plus since Rollerball first formed, this highly prolific family of musicians have conjured up staggering amount of recorded material; 12 full lengths albums, another dozen eps and singles and countless compilation appearances. Whether slipping between vampy cabaret numbers, horn dr…
Millenovecentosettantatre
Heavly influenced by the seventies, Brown Y Aur is able as no one to pick those elements and build them in a fresh and modern kraut-psychedlic shape.
Negarville
Nothing is slow, deep and distressing like the music of Madrigali Magri and the voice of Mr. Succi of Bachi Da Pietra fame: Madrigali Magri have been cut their enviable space in italian rock underground scene, such to become an infuence for various italian bands. After "Negarville", "Malacarne" is their 2nd album on wallace records. They Split in 2005
Fear The Windows
Uncle William Borroughs would have loved a record like this, it's the result of a cut and paste process enriched by elements played with drums, guitars, vocals, bass, trumpet and many other things. he musicians of [1] Kilo of Black Bondage were united for the first time in 2003 during the I.D.E.A.L festival at the Lieu Unique in Nantes, France. Then, moving from stage to stage in France and Europe, they enriched and cultivated an original musical material made from evolving textures, sonic lands…
Krško - Valencia
rançois R. Cambuzat (vox & guitars), Chiara Locardi (bass & vox) and Jacopo Andreini (drums & horns). No musical directions: they confess at the moment a deep interest in Keiji Haino or Wadih el Safi, in modern contemporary classical music or in songs from the spanish civil war. A 360° view. The band is regulary touring all over Europe. Live, the songs are wild, making the press talk about them as a crossroad between melancholy and heavy rage, between the Velvet Und…
