Music For The Ritual Desecration Of Corpses
*200 copies limited release* Tip! The early collaboration between Maso Yamazaki (aka Masonna) and Rudolf Eb.er (aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck) was based on the exchange of tape recordings and ideas by mail; they were guided more by a shared sensibility regarding extreme music and art than by a similar musical style. The first result of this cooperation was released in 1995 on Eb.er’s own Swiss label, Schimpfluch, as a cassette titled “Clitoris Projectile Pump Action”. In 1998, they performed as …
How To Destroy Angels
Ritual music for the accumulation of male sexual energy Throughout history man has made and used music for two distinct and separate purposes. In recent years, particularly since the advent of sound recording, the most popular use of music has been for entertainment - the temporary amusement and distraction of as large a number as possible. As a consequence, many people tend to overlook its more fundamental and ancient use as a tool for affecting man's body and spirit. The many varieties of reli…
In Search of the Origins of Sound Vol. 17
Tip! At the time, Yuji Takahashi was known internationally primarily as a pianist. Yet the decade from Phonogène (1962) to Tadori (1972) reveals another essential side of his work: an exploration of electronic sound, mathematics, and computers in composition, and of their changing relationship with human performance. One of the starting points was his encounter with Iannis Xenakis. Takahashi studied probability theory and set theory, and in Phonogène developed his own probabilistic approach to o…
Parallels & Diagonals
Which is the more productive situation for improvisation: the shock of the first time encounter, unhindered by history or habit, or the long-term association and the evolution of more complex interactions? It's an unresolved, perhaps even undecidable, question. This recording brings together four improvisers together in a multi-layered situation which combines multiple permutations of the untried and the familiar. The four had never all played together before but the quartet contains various his…
Murdúchann
'Murdúchann’: Where layered vocal transformations summon siren songs and sonic phantoms from within the source. The word ‘Murdúchann’ comes from a Middle Irish word evoking a siren-like being—a sea singer or mermaid. It derives from ‘muir’ (sea) and ‘dúchann’ (chant, song). The singing melodies said to hold sway over seamen were characteristic of the sirens of classical mythology—likely imported into Irish literature via Homer’s Odyssey.

A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 2
Visionaries in Mexico have sought ways to look beyond the stars for millennia. Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the…

This is a deliciously eclectic combo of sonic explorers whose recorded testament consists of a string of pebbles that crystalized in a collectively interminable quest for that eccentrically elusive eureka moment.

El Ultimo Cortejo
The mighty Argentine progsters Bubu make a triumphant comeback with their 3rd and final album El Ultimo Cortejo. Composed in part based on notes discovered by the band’s mastermind Daniel Andreoli in his parents’ basement, dating back to the Anabelas (1976) period, and in part on newly infused sonic elements by the evergreen lineup that boasts some of the finest upcoming musicians from Buenos Aires’ rampant neoprog scene, El Ultimo Cortejo carves new pathways in Bubu’s evolutionary trajectory by…
Can I Stare at You Publicly?
*300 copies limited edition* Berlin-based percussionist and vocalist Teresa Riemann presents Can I stare at you publicly?, a new collection of solo works for percussion and voice. The pieces are meticulously composed, while their origins lie in improvisation, and improvisation remains part of the way Riemann performs them. The compositions stay open, allowing her to interpret them differently each time and keeping the music in a state of movement rather than fixing it into a final form.

Pleasure Ground
Twenty years on, Prurient's Pleasure Ground returns in the edition it always wanted. This is the hinge record in Dominick Fernow's catalogue, the one that opened the electronic chapter of the project: the scorched power-electronics of the early years meeting synth tones, slow doom weight and the meditative cold of Nordic black metal. Recorded in a single day, 14 February 2006, it first surfaced as a self-released double cassette sold at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York, then arrived in s…

Siege
Aux Armes returns with Siege, a merciless and deeply charged new album released by Minneapolis-based label Phage Tapes.
Built from punishing industrial electronics, stark rhythmic structures, and an atmosphere of permanent confrontation, Siege is music shaped by endurance. Its nine tracks move through tension, resistance, sacrifice, and remembrance, balancing mechanical force with a stark emotional weight.
