Conal
Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…
Adonia
Recorded across a single sweltering Paris summer in June 1978, Adonia - the lone album credited to Ose - captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination, and emerging technology. For decades it has lingered as one of the great half-secrets of French electronic music's most fertile decade, traded between collectors who understood exactly what they were holding.
At just twenty-six, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the Frenc…
Sowas von egal. 3 German Synth Wave Underground 1981-1986
LP version. With Sowas von Egal Vol 3, the Hamburg-based Damaged Goods DJ team continues its compilation series on Bureau B, once again turning its attention to the underground scenes of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the early 1980s. The selected tracks originate from a period in which, alongside the commercial Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), a number of innovative and often more abrasive bands and artists operated outside the mainstream. They combined influences from new wave, synthwave, post…
Sowiesoso
** 50th anniversary Limited Edition ** The fourth full-length album by legendary German electronic music duo Cluster, originally released on Sky Records in 1976. Sowiesoso follows on from their most highly-acclaimed album, Zuckerzeit (1974). Michael Rother's influence was clearly audible on the latter, Cluster having already recorded two albums with him under the name of Harmonia. 1976 saw the duo looking for new musical forms. More than any other Cluster album, Sowiesoso represents the utopian …
Percussio / Economy & Discipline
** Split 7”, Edition of 100 machine numbered copies w inlays ** Unexpected but needed split 7” between the Swedish tape loop & analog synth trio Organ of Corti and San Francisco guitar master Bill Orcutt! The OOC track is a dive deeper into their rather confusing, psychedelic and eternal sound. A true creeper. Orcutt is doing a repetitive guitar attack which is a very addictive piece. So, warning.Organ of Corti was formed in 2022 by Dan Johansson (Sewer Election, Enhet för Fri Musik), Mattias Gu…
Annihilation of Samsara
On Annihilation of Samsara, Attila Csihar, Balázs Pándi and John Wiese converge as a single, shifting organism, dissolving borders between extreme metal, free improvisation and noise into a dense, unstable ritual where sound behaves more like weather than music.
Electric Garden
On Electric Garden, Sissy Spacek and Smegma blur into a single, unstable organism, trading identities inside a live electro‑acoustic tangle where tape, junk percussion, turntables and guitar debris drift through The Pink House like sentient interference.
No Obituary
On No Obituary, Concealed Class - the duo of Charlie Mumma and Matt Purse - reduce harsh sound to its barest, most hostile state: absolute electronics where saturation, feedback and structural collapse are the only remaining facts.
Geometric Reason
On Geometric Reason, Sissy Spacek reroute their long‑running extremism into a jagged strain of musique concrète, splicing voice, electronics and acoustic shards into a volatile collage charged by fire‑displacement, Japanese connections and their enduring taste for rupture.
Déploiement de L’immuable
Laure Boer & Franz Wrakhowitch did again. They left our lands, for being Édition d’Art, their free-floating project with no logic. This time harvesting industrialised drones, tones, n zones, where rhythm, melody, and the idea of musical form gets challenged. Some say, they say, that the album's concept was to create cut-ups from tea bag sayings, just to poke some fun at the effective and comforting healing of the soul. If “Déploiement de l’immuable” can heal, is yet to be decided. It can steal. …
Magick Knives
Magick Knives channel desert night into sound: cinematic post‑punk steeped in gothic rock, darkwave and shimmered synths, where hypnotic bass, spectral guitars and whispered occult glamour coil into slow‑burn rituals.
Break the Faith
On Break The Faith, Repeated Viewing drags his VHS‑streaked horror synths onto the factory floor, hammering grime, dread and adrenaline into a streamlined industrial brawler built for raves in the rubble rather than candlelit cult screenings.
Nightshades
On Nightshades, Celestial Hex step out of Berlin’s mist with a sleek strain of electro‑noir: neon‑bleeding synths, darkwave pulse and vampiric hooks that feel custom‑built for creatures of the night raised on grainy 80s cult cinema.
Expression Musicale totale (Book + 7")
This release (Book + 7") by Vincent Epplay is a free interpretation of audio and visual archives drawn from sound experiments conducted during music workshops in Freinet schools in the 1960s and 1970s. It serves as a way of reviving these diverse practices, allowing us to revisit the original educational experiments carried out over the course of a decade in various Freinet classrooms. Beyond simply unearthing these hidden treasures, the aim here is to capture a pioneering spirit in which wild …
Novos Baianos F.C.
“Novos Baianos shaped an entire generation of Brazilian music — their sound is pure freedom.” — Caetano VelosoOriginally released in 1973, Novos Baianos F.C. captures the band’s communal lifestyle and fearless experimentation. After the success of Acabou Chorare, the group expanded their sound into a vibrant mix of samba, choro, folk, psychedelia, and electric street-soul.With the unmistakable chemistry of Baby Consuelo, Pepeu Gomes, Moraes Moreira, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, and Dadi, the album r…
Clube Da Esquina
Clube da Esquina is a 1972 double album by the Brazilian music artists collective Clube da Esquina, credited to Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. Considered one of the greatest Brazilian albums and an important record in the history of Brazilian music, it features arrangements by Eumir Deodato and Wagner Tiso, and conductions by Paulo Moura. The album garnered high attention for its engaged compositions and miscellany of sounds. Indeed, the LP was considered in the list of the Brazilian version o…
Master of Dragons
On Master of Dragons, Jim Kirkwood summons one of his most cinematic visions: sweeping synth fanfares, brooding drones and neo‑medieval melodies unfurl a lone‑hero saga in sound, where wyrms, ruins and prophecy coil through a perpetually storm‑lit sky.
Through a Dark Glass
On Through a Dark Glass, Jim Kirkwood peers into his signature realm of neo‑medieval gloom and cosmic dread, layering synth choirs, martial pulses and dungeon‑folk melody into a fogged‑mirror vision of fantasy where revelation always stays just out of reach.
