Floral Shoppe
*2025 stock.* "[...] By no conventional logic should Floral Shoppe have made it beyond the deep-internet realms it emerged from. But like candy-colored mold, its power has rapidly spread while its then-teenage creator Ramona Xavier, the Portland artist now known as Vektroid, has remained an elusive figure, simultaneously a pioneer and an outlier. Her album remains one-of-a-kind in its depiction of anxiety and crisis rendered through waves of numbness that range from deeply unsettling to artifici…
Glide
**2025 Stock** The Fact of Being are happy to inform about the second step in a series of reissues of early works by Peter Davison. The long-awaited re-edition of a highly acclaimed and innovative album "Glide" 1981 to celebrate its 40th anniversary. "Glide" was the second artist's album. Released in 1981 on vinyl and urgently repressed in 1982 due to high demand it was sold-out fast again and has not been reissued since that. To date, this is one of the rarest and wanted ambient recordings that…
Oacis
**2025 Stock** As regards content, acoustics and optics, raster-noton.oacis goes beyond the momentary. The texts by top writers like Rob Young (The Wire), Pinky Rose, Peter Kraut (NZZ) and Martin Pesch (e.g. Frieze, Spex, Kunstforum) examine how raster-noton works on the cutting edge of electronic music, computer graphics and video animation, with which supreme ease the label moves between pop/club culture and the fine arts. The creative cover flap includes a CD with audiotracks and multimedia d…
The Bliss of Bliss
With The Bliss of Bliss, Pat Thomas distills four decades of radical pianism into a transcendent live improvisation. Recorded in Geneva in 2024, the album transforms the solo piano into a realm of shifting densities and ecstatic form, where each note seems to create and erase the space it inhabits.
Underwater Electronic Orchestra
Ojo de Mujer presents a rare gem from the twilight zone of 1970s electronic experimentation: Labat's Transition, an album that exists in its own peculiar dimension where psychedelic disco meets aquatic reverie, and synthetic soundscapes dissolve into moments of unexpected grace. Surfacing from the depths of obscurity, this Canadian pressing has long been whispered about among collectors and connoisseurs of the era's most adventurous electronic music. The album's striking cover — featuring a figu…
Os Afro Sambas
Recorded in 1966, Os Afro-Sambas is a groundbreaking album that fuses traditional samba with Afro-Brazilian spiritual rhythms from candomblé and umbanda. The collaboration between virtuoso guitarist Baden Powell and poet Vinícius de Moraes creates a deeply evocative soundscape, blending haunting melodies, rich harmonies, and intricate arrangements. Featuring the vocal harmonies of Quarteto em Cy, the album honors Bahia’s cultural roots while expanding the expressive possibilities of Brazilian mu…
Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House
Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House by Aaron Dilloway is a raw suite of field recordings captured inside a decaying Nepali fun‑park attraction. Blown speakers, mechanical screams, and ambient chaos fuse into a hallucinatory documentary of sound—half ethnography, half haunted collage.
Microphonies 21
Microphonies 21 by Marc Billon is a long-form electroacoustic exploration centered on the resonances of a tam-gong. Blurring the line between acoustic gesture and electronic transformation, the work unfolds as a slow, tactile meditation on vibration, decay, and the physical act of listening itself.
Magic Thread
First released in 1998, Magic Thread finds Susumu Yokota navigating the liminal space between club rhythm and ambient reverie. Blending vaporous beats, dub inflections, and microscopic detail, the album traces the moment he stepped from late‑night dance floors into dawn-lit introspection.
Image 1983 - 1998
Image 1983–1998 by Susumu Yokota collects fifteen years of sonic fragments tracing the evolution of his ambient vision. Recorded between early tape experiments and late‑1990s compositions, it bridges lo‑fi intimacy and polished minimalism, revealing the contours of an artist forever balancing wonder and restraint.
Sakura
With Sakura, Susumu Yokota unveiled an ambient masterpiece that blends sampled fragments of jazz, minimalism, and Japanese melody into a contemplative whole. Released in 1999 on Skintone and later on The Leaf Label, the album turns repetition into poetry, infusing electronic textures with a deep human warmth.
Grinning Cat
With Grinning Cat, Susumu Yokota continues to refine his delicate ambient universe through a dreamlike balance of melody, texture, and silence. The 2001 album merges found sounds, piano fragments, and vaporous rhythms into an otherworldly narrative of domestic tranquility and imaginative reverie.
Theusz Hamtaahk - Trilogie Au Trianon
A monumental document of Magma at their most powerful! Recorded over two nights during the band's 30th anniversary celebration at the Trianon theater in Paris (May 13-14, 2000), this is the first and only recording to present the complete Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy in its entirety: "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), "Ẁurdah Ïtah" ("Dead Earth"), and the legendary "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh". Founded by visionary drummer-composer Christian Vander in 1969, Magma created one of the most unique a…
Ephemeral Rituals
Jo Montgomerie doesn't want to pull back the veil too much on her source materials, but she's becoming more declarative and emphatic in how she works with her crucible of tempered noise. The opening clatter to Ephemeral Rituals sounds to these ears like the repetitive strike of a typewriter; though she asserts, without showing her hand, that is not the case. Out of this, a hallowed, radiant black glow emerges, nearly engulfing the acoustic clack with a sublime grandeur. Based in Manchester, Mont…
