The Black Ark + Dogon A.D.
Special discounted Bundle. Two of the greatest free jazz records ever laid to tape, back where they belong. Superior Viaduct reissues Noah Howard's The Black Ark and Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. — both from 1972, both inexplicably scarce for decades, both essential.
The Black Ark finds Howard backed by a towering ensemble — Norris Jones (Sirone), Arthur Doyle, Leslie Waldron, Earl Cross, Juma Sultan, Mohammed Ali — in four tracks that move from hard-blown spiritual fire to lyrical catharsis. Des…
Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music (1990–2005) (Book)
In Hypnotised: A Journey Through Trance Music (1990–2005), Arjan Rietveld traces trance from smoky backrooms to global main stages, charting how a marginal, emotional strain of dance music became a worldwide language of euphoria, melancholy and collective release.
Mocomono
On Mocomono, Hifiklub & Alain Johannes turn a two‑decade friendship into a glowing, slow‑burn suite: guitars, textures and voices dissolving into an ambient rock vapor where the Toulon collective’s restlessness meets Johannes’ desert‑honed lyricism.
Extracellular
On Extracellular, Hidden Horse, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, Johnny Richards & Dave King, Domotic, Revbjelde, Saïph, Oh Mr James, Secluded Bronte, Time Attendant, Etceteral, Dolly Dolly & Fogroom and Gong Girl plug into the “space between cells”, trading signals as pulsing electro, splintered jazz, industrial dub and spoken ritual fuse into a single, buzzing nervous system.
Mussolini ultimo atto
On Mussolini ultimo atto, Ennio Morricone turns the final days of Mussolini into tense, tragic chamber drama, fusing pared‑back orchestral writing, unnerving timbres and fragile lyricism into a score where history feels like a slow, inexorable noose tightening.
High Tide
On High Tide, Eddie Suzuki and his New Hawaii band fold psych shimmer, island melody and 70s pop craft into a quietly visionary song cycle - a warm, Hammond‑lit portrait of “now Hawaii” that feels both homemade and gently cosmic.
Mondo Industrial (A Selection Of Rare Tape Music From The 80s & 90s)
Before the internet made everything findable, cassette culture thrived in the shadows — a self-organised network of micro-labels, bedroom studios and mail-order lists connecting isolated experimenters across continents. Mondo Industrial reaches into that world and surfaces eleven tracks sourced from tapes so obscure that most have never been heard outside their original, minuscule circulations. The compilation draws from releases on Nihilistic Recordings, Harsh Reality, Cauchy Productions, Cafar…
Counting To Ten Then Back Again
"I remember when at school on the last day of term, all the class would bring games in to play, but it always seemed that no one really knew the rules or could fathom out how to play some of them. However, a lot of the games had interesting artwork and fantastic layouts with all sorts of cards and paraphernalia, which I really enjoyed. Around the same time I received a magic set for Christmas. The packaging, images, type, colours on the box and instructions were wonderful. I would entertain memb…
La vera storia di una macchina inventata
"La Vera Storia di una Macchina Inventata" is a conceptual album built as a surreal sonic narrative. Conceived as a continuous journey rather than a collection of tracks, the album tells the story of an “useless machine” and its inventors, moving through exhibition halls, highways, rest stops and imaginary radio stations. The project was born from an intense period of collective research by Metameccanici, a trio formed by Angelo Trabace, Alessandro Trabace and Sebastiano De Gennaro. Working betw…
A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements
"A Small Life and Unnoticed Movements" was born from a live performance at Germi in Milan, later transformed in the studio through Fender Rhodes and subtle ambient processing. The six pieces are sonic micro-landscapes built around minimal gestures — a leaf’s trace, a small current, a dim light, an almost invisible presence. The music doesn’t describe nature; it follows its processes. It changes slowly, transforms without noise, and remains in a state of attentive listening.
The project is accomp…

Their first full length since 2023’s Flatland Explorations Vol. 2, with The Sludge Of The Land Babau lands on Impatience with their signature audio-prestidigitation at it’s most disorientingly pungent and zonked, a uniquely contemporary approach described as the sound of a continent moving; animals, plants and minerals included.

B. Chamber (Stratum A)
B. Chamber (Stratum A), by B. Close, is the first full length solo release by Los Angeles-based multi-disciplinary artist Brian Close. The first of two volumes assembled from some thirteen hours of music produced by Close while residing in Connecticut from 2021-2025, B. Chamber (Stratum A) offers a vivid, fractal afterimage of a prolific, specific time and space in the artist’s oeuvre.
After leaving New York City early in the pandemic to a farmhouse in the countryside with dedicated spaces for m…
Flowers
'Flowers', the new EP from Elizabeth Davis, finds itself at the cross-section of many factors. In part, it’s the result of Davis’ obsession with a seminal folk song. But it also coincides with her rediscovery of the voice and language as an instrument. It was recorded during an autumn residency at Sternhagen Gut, the cultural refuge run by Gudrun Gut and Thomas Fehlmann, located deep in the Uckermark countryside halfway between Berlin and the Baltic coast. The six tracks on 'Flowers' all take Pe…

Putimt Ku Tuskaas
The album explores the historical and practical union of experimental in-situ field recordings and industrial drone work in its rudimentary form, while also constructing a narrative of live, on-site cymbal play in the style of Eddie Prevost and David Jackman. Putimt ku tuskaas draws a narrative of minimally intricate experimental field recordings and industrial drones while at the same time channeling a line of influence from the early 80’s French & Italian industrial movements and would not be…
12.16
Tori says "12:16 is a piece where I recorded all the sounds of my daily life from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night on December 16, 2025, compressed that recording into an approximately 15-minute track, added my piano and other materials (such as Lee Morgan's riff, the line " Wandering around the mountains is painful" from the Noh chant "Yamanba," and Kazuo Funaki's 1969 song "Yūbae no Futari"), played it at the live venue, and performed along with it. The PC operation at the ve…
Moons Melt Milk Light
Anenon's tenor saxophone breathes an emotive contemplation on loss, meshed with sustained piano and field recordings. 'Moons Melt Milk Light' is a hyper-personal statement contained in a visceral beauty.
