Brao Gongs of Ratanakiri (Cambodia)
Tip! This is raw, unfiltered ceremonial gong ensemble music recorded on location by Laurent Jeanneau in Ratanakiri, Cambodia’s northeastern province, bordering Laos and Vietnam. Along with Mondolkiri to the south, it was once home to many of the country’s ethnic minority communities. During the colonial period, the French failed to establish full control over the region. After independence, the Khmer state also struggled to govern it, while Khmer Rouge rebels hid in its forests in the 1960s amid…
Mekong Shellac: Cambodian Artifacts from the 78-rpm era
Tip! Mekong Shellac is an extremely rare collection of classical and popular styles of Khmer music from the 1930s to the 1950s. Restored from the few original remaining copies, this compilation reveals a remarkable world of early 20th-century Cambodian folk music previously lost in time through war, cultural shifts, and modernization. These recordings were selected for their distinctive musical qualities, the physical condition of the 78 rpm records from which they were sourced, and the circumst…
Lovelyville
**First ever reissue! Audio remaster from original master tapes.** The Thinking Fellers’ third LP, the second released on vinyl, the first released on Matador Records, the first to include former Glorious Din guitarist and World of Pooh drummer Jay Paget (if only on the opening track), the first to showcase Mark Davies’ baritone horn and Brian Hageman’s viola, and the first where the band’s live and recorded sound sharply diverged, Lovelyville is transitional in just about every sense and yet so…
Taxi
The debut album of the French master improviser from the early 80s finally available again! her impressive release-list over the years - solo, duos, trios, big projects – shows a range of works with most of the current improvisers, to new music (Cage, Scelsi) and dance and theatre with two main constants - playing live plus the celebration of improvisation. This album here shows in a wonderful way how it all started – a strong player with her voice and her instrument. Recorded at Studio Achille,…
A Room
Cage was in his late twenties, a Californian, who had served an unlikely apprenticeship under two of the century’s great opposites: Arnold Schoenberg, who thought him gifted but harmonically hopeless, is said to have called him “not a composer, but an inventor of genius”, and Henry Cowell whom he had watched reach inside a grand piano to pluck and sweep its strings by hand. The music on this recording follows Cage through this early decade of his life, his twenties. But this is not the music bef…
Rulfo/voces/ecos
The works on this CD were realized in collaboration between the composer Germán Toro Pérez and the musicians of PHACE – Petra Ackermann, Mathilde Hoursiangou, Ivana Pristašová-Zaugg and Roland Schueler – over a period of 15 years. They reflect two aspects of composition that have shaped Toro Pérez’s music from the outset: on the one hand, the question of how musical form emerges from the interplay between construction and perception; and on the other, an exploration of language as a means of con…

Synthetic Water Music
"In the dream, people didn't need water any more. People's minds became computer chips made of stone." (August in the Water, dir. Sōgo Ishii, 1995) There is a pivotal scene in “August in the Water” where the surface of a pool turns into a stone wall. The water that gave the protagonist's life its meaning becomes a threat. As you fall through this stone wall, you appear in a set of underwater coral-reef corridors, and one of the most beautiful musical themes begins to play: Aquatic Ambience, comp…
Talisman
*35 copies limited edition* Written during a time of fracture and crisis, this album is about looking for a wonder in the cracks. It’s about embracing the flawed and the frail, positing that if re-enchantment is possible, it will sprout from the small things. Built from gentle field recordings and analogue synthesizers, it offers music as a talisman; a warm, homespun garment for uncertain days.
Fioritures
*35 copies limited edition* On Fioritures, Lamasz offers his debut for Le Mont Analogue, transforming fragments of classical music into a quietly immersive work. Rooted in material drawn from thrifted cassettes, the six pieces unfold through looping motifs that drift and dissolve, gently enriched with drones, field recordings, and tape textures. The result is a cohesive, meditative reverie, where each moment slowly erodes into a suspended, near-weightless state.
Sekunder, Eoner
*100 copies limited edition* Explorations into dreamy, texturally rich environments and dub flavoured landscapes through the use of rhythm and subtle melody.
Complete Feedback Works
Numbered edition of 200 copies. Six LPs in a box, with restored original artwork reprinted in monochrome blue.

A few months after the compos…
