II
On II, The Oscillators lock into a heady, loop‑driven chemistry where dubwise bass, analogue synth chatter and live‑wired percussion orbit the same gravitational field. Each piece feels like a workshop in motion: themes emerge, mutate and dissolve, turning the record into a continuous, hands‑on exploration rather than a fixed set of songs.
Loud World
On Loud World, Nicholas Tripi (a.k.a. Nick Tripi of Big Fun) turns the drummer’s vantage point into a full compositional engine. Rhythm is the load‑bearing wall for a delirious blend of space‑lounge, jungle jazz, KPM‑style library cues and krautrock pulse, ten compact pieces sketching a neon‑lit, nervy planet of their own.
Twenty-Two
On Twenty‑Two, Initials MB offers a quietly psychedelic slice of French pop that feels like a faded postcard from another decade. Reissued on vinyl a decade after its digital birth, the album folds jangling guitars, analogue keys and wistful melodies into compact songs that trace one songwriter’s search for sound, place and identity.
12 Conversations
Noton is pleased to announce12 Conversations, a collaborative album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto to be released on 18 September 2026.
Revector
*150 copies limited edition* Written, recorded, mixed, and produced by zakè. Featuring various instrumentation and improvisations by the following brethren: anthéne, Benoît Pioulard, Marc Ertel, and Purl. Piano accompaniments by hoax.
Rope
*200 copies limited edition* Rope is a collaborative improvisation between musician and producer Al Wootton and musician and percussionist Irene Bianco. Wootton’s hardware processing of various sampling methods, plus guitar, bass guitar and clarinet, provides a counterpoint for Bianco’s experimental treatments of drum kit, bells, vibraphone and other percussion instruments. The result is foggy, dubbed out, glacial, free form compositions that defy categorization.
Issue 139 (Magazine + 7", White)
Electronic Sound Issue 139 arrives with Scritti Politti legend Green Gartside on the cover, bundled with an exclusive limited edition gold vinyl seven-inch featuring two of the group's much-loved mid-1980s classics: Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) and Perfect Way. Inside, an exclusive interview with Green marks the reissue of Scritti Politti's Songs To Remember (1982) and Cupid & Psyche 85 (1985), two brilliant albums that took the band from scratchy post-punk outsiders to electropop giant…
Exotica
Limited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl. Includes hi-res audio download. Among the most playful and pointed entries in Deutsche Grammophon's legendary Avantgarde series, Mauricio Kagel's Exotica returns to vinyl - a work that turns the Western fascination with the music of elsewhere into a piece of high comedy and, beneath the laughter, a quietly devast…
The Great Learning
Limited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl. One of the most quietly radical entries in Deutsche Grammophon's legendary Avantgarde series - the run of albums issued between 1968 and 1971 that did more than almost any other label project to document the experimental music of its moment - returns to vinyl. Recorded in London in 1971, the Scratch Orchestra's r…
Cybernetics III / Contrappunto Dialettico Alla Mente
Limited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl. A reissue of one of the most singular documents in Deutsche Grammophon's legendary Avantgarde series - a single LP that sets two radically opposed ways of working with magnetic tape against one another, both realized within months of each other at the same address: the Studio di Fonologia della RAI in Milan.

Health and Efficiency
For some fans, Health And Efficiency is This Heat's peak achievement - their most concentrated blast of visceral intensity and wayward experimentalism. Featuring two long pieces, the EP came out in September 1980. It was released on Piano, the imprint founded by David Cunningham of Flying Lizards, and distributed by Rough Trade, home of the burgeoning post-punk movement and fellow travelers like The Raincoats, Scritti Politti, Cabaret Voltaire and The Red Crayola.
