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.
