Aesthesis
Tip! *2026 much needed repress!!* Thorn Wych is a musical instrument maker and musician based in the Lancashire town of Bacup, specialising in work made from tree branches. Particular to her interest are UK native trees; so far Wych Elm, Lime, Wild Cherry, Oak, and Yew. With these unique instruments, crafted in her backyard workshop, she creates music that evokes memories of an unknown world—out of sync with time and place and beyond the boundaries of the material realm.
Her pieces consist main…
Félicité Thösz
The masters of Zeuhl return on vinyl! Christian Vander's cosmic vision at its most luminous and transcendent. Originally released in 2012, Félicité Thösz was Magma's first album of new material in 27 YEARS after their 1996 reformation. Think about that for a second. Twenty-seven years!
And what a comeback this is. Gone are the martial thunderstorms of Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh - here we get celestial vocal tapestries, Stella Vander's voice soaring like a messenger from another dimension, pian…
African Skies
Limited edition 180g vinyl. Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket. Restored artwork + previously unseen family photos. In 1993, when Chicago's Adler Planetarium commissioned Kelan Phil Cohran to score their "African Skies" program, they tapped into a mind that moved effortlessly between galaxies and neighborhoods, between ancestral rhythm and modern invention. Three decades later, Listening Position presents the first official reissue of this cosmic masterpiece - a recording that stands as both a spi…
People In Sorrow
** Grey-area reissue on colored vinyl ** Recorded in Boulogne-Billancourt, France on July 7th, 1969 - one of the most fruitful periods for the group. Originally released on Pathé, later reissued by Chuck Nessa on his legendary Nessa Records. Now back on vinyl, on blood-red transparent wax! 40 minutes of PURE free improvisation. One extended piece, split across two sides. Lester Bowie on trumpet and flugelhorn, Joseph Jarman on alto sax, bassoon, oboe and flute, Roscoe Mitchell on soprano, alto a…
Have One On Me
2026 repress on vinyl; Deluxe 3LP box version with an 8-page, large-format lyric booklet and printed inner sleeves. For various reasons Have One On Me, Joanna Newsom's new triple-album defies the notion of fast-turnaround appraisals. Apart from sheer abundance of music here, it's also very dense and scrupulously laboured over, not only by Newsom herself but a select band of fellow musicians and arrangers - not to mention ace mixing engineers Jim O'Rourke, and Noah Georgeson (best known for his w…
Mimosa Pudica
Mimosa Pudica brings together two works by Luciano Maggiore, both conceived as live performances structured around the presence and behaviour of an audience. In both cases, rhythmic and formal elements arise from acts of observation and listening: eye contact, involuntary sounds, shifts of attention, hesitation, withdrawal.
Mimosa Pudica reconstructs the conditions of these works in the absence of an audience. The record operates as a displacement: a concert without spectators, a live situation…
Guitars Infernal
The Greatest Living Guitarist returns! Following the acclaimed Broken Heart Surgery in 2025, Roy Montgomery delivers another stunning chapter in his ever-expanding sonic universe. Recorded in 2016 during a period of great turbulence in Montgomery's home life, Guitars Infernal emerges NOW - a decade later - because, while wholly instrumental, it "speaks" to extremely turbulent times in the world at large. Hold on to your hats. This is HEAVY.
Nine tracks of pure six-string electric guitar alchemy.…
Chromophobia
A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business.
The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…
Autodidact II
*Limited edition of 100 copies* Finally! The crucial 2021 album by Middlesbrough's Oli Heffernan gets the double vinyl treatment it always deserved. Originally released as a cassette on Cruel Nature Records and gone way too fast, Autodidact II is one of the great documents of UK experimental music from this decade - a sprawling, fog-drenched journey through psychogeography, North Yorkshire folklore and sonic territories that shift under your feet.
Recorded during three separate sessions in July …
Compass Rises
On Compass Rises, Compass condense the grit and openness of early‑’70s upstate jazz into one privately pressed statement, an acoustic‑electric set that threads post‑Coltrane toughness, modal burn and soulful swing into a clear, straight‑ahead identity.
Horizonte
On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as hard as it dazzles.
Four Seasons
Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite tracked at Tonstudio Bauer in late 1976.
Park Of Reason
On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychic drift.
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one can take again and again, alway…
Ten Types Of Elsewhere
20+ year reissue of Mark Fell’s uniquely compelling debut solo album; a fascinating experimental playground for his ideas on topology, asymmetry, and spatiotemporal disruption, triggering one of modern electronic music’s most fanciful, radical, and peerless catalogues. Essential listening for anyone on the line from Autechre to Ikeda.
Rhythm Immortal
Carrier’s debut album features eight elegantly rude arrangements that dance in negative space between Photek’s frictional syncopations, Rhythm & Sound’s dubwise minimalism and Torsten Pröfrock’s fractured dynamics, bolstered on two tracks by contributions from Voice Actor & Memotone, summoning a noirish, jazzier frisson to his signature metrics and temporalities.
balança e paixão
xavisphone's debut for Modern Love hits with unrelenting energy; a hyper-kinetic, red-lining funk that joins dots between DJ Anderson do Paraiso’s darkside minimalism, Equiknoxx’s riddmic pressure and DJ Ramon Sucesso’s walloping delirium.
Deserted Palace
Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of "Deserted Palace", studio album written & performed by Jean Michel Jarre in 1972, during his work experience at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). In 1971, an order was placed with producer Francis Dreyfus to provide sound for public places such as airports and libraries. He decided to pass the project on to Jean-Michel, who had recently been signed by his record company.
These fifteen tracks are made with only two syn…
Hypotaedium
Hypotaedium is a 45-minute acousmatic composition consisting of 11 parts. The piece was conceived utilising the seven reverberation chambers at Tou Scene and the performance was recorded by Gaute Granli. This is Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland’s fifth album and also the fifth in a series of records on Drid Machine Records featuring hand assembled and foil stamped Procédé Heliophore covers. Much like the source material that is re-worked, looped and cut-up throughout the piece itself, the cove…
Pressures of the Fresh
Since the duo’s inception in 2021, Kjetil Brandsdal and Thore Warland have released 5 LPs of their turntablism/percussion fusion. This is their first single before adding Helge Thornes as a vocalist and morphing into Hebbex d’Expectatio Expectata.
Recorded during the 2023 Get Next recording sessions at Consulatet in Stavanger, this single compresses the duo’s sound and approach into two 3-minute no-nonsense tracks. Pressures of the Fresh is a hectic electro-pastiche drowned in the murky waters …
