Friends And Neighbors (Ornette Live At Prince Street)
Ornette Coleman's loft at 131 Prince Street, Valentine's Day 1970. Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, Ed Blackwell, and whoever was in the room singing the title chant. The only Coleman album on Flying Dutchman: six pieces, Ornette on alto, trumpet and violin, taped as a party rather than a concert.
Silver Tendril
*300 copies limited edition* "Silver Tendril" like his recent work, it focuses on the nuances of the sound's "physicality." The intensity of the '90s returns in a refined form, withadded nuance and subtlety. Where "Pulse Demon" emphasized that raw directness (which alreadyforeshadowed the Harsh Noise Wall), "Silver Tendril" develops rhythmic structures within whichsonic chaos suddenly erupts. This is not TNB-style chaos, but rather a gradual breakdown, a perverse shift from structure to chaos.
Bad Trip
*100 copies limited edition* "Bad Trip" is a nightmarish plunge into a dystopian world that, unfortunately, is all too close to reality. With this album, composed in secret over several months alongside various other projects and collaborations currently in progress, Noise Entropy sought to synthesize his diverse musical influences through his personal soundscape. The result is a blend of industrial and dark ambient, with a cinematic quality. Noise Entropy describes his music as "cosmic, hypnago…
Iris ter Schiphorst

At The Falls
*50 copies limited edition* After reading On the Road and meeting Ken Kesey, Mark Terrill set out as a merchant seaman and afterwards spent time in various locations in Asia, North Africa (studying with Paul Bowles in Tangier), and Europe, where he eventually settled down near Hamburg in the mid-eighties. To quote Lawrence Ferlinghetti on his poetry, “Mark Terrill, the true poet and ‘forlorn observer’ of the world he sees as essentially forlorn, if not absurd, if not entirely hopeless, and nothi…
A net to catch the sun in
*50 copies limited edition* Surrealist artist Hazel Cline deciphers wings of sapphire on the illusory screen of human eyes. Asymmetrical images harpoon jewelled fragments of bird skeletons changing into circling swarms of bees.
Shèntàn
*50 copies limited edition* Radical soundcollages by Bart De Paepe (Ilta Hämärä), Ignace De bruyn (Bokrijk) and Erwin Van Looveren (W Ravenveer) spit onto marine saliva landscapes. Mummified recordings that shatter art brut localism from the dream's forge, scratching exausted fingernails along liquid silent stone surfaces echoing the dementia of fiery skies.

Each Day, as if it Were Your Last
'Each Day, as if It Were Your Last' marks a striking new chapter for Pallette and a complete departure from his Past Inside the Present debut, 'Pathways'. Released in November 2020, Pathways emerged from an introspective period in Alexander Carlo Buckley’s life, presenting four lovely loop-based compositions shaped by hypnotic, consonant arrangements, fleeting melodies, and a patient sense of ebb and flow. Each Day, as if It Were Your Last moves beyond those meditative foundations, expanding Pal…
