Canopies + Cathedrals
Canopies : A roof-like covering of trees enclosing a large or wide natural space. Cathedral : ;Large edifice usually of stone, enclosing space reserved for spiritual contemplation. Vertical structures that strive for light and open spaces, defying gravity, and reason.
A Tarkosvsky-esque transcendence of spirit and nature, time imprinted on an intertwining of sap and stone, branch and pillar, column, and trunk.
This third MPM release is co-written by Phil and Jackson Mouldycliff, with studio trea…
Widdershins
A new CD of a live performance by these two talented improvisers. The interplay between them is, to use a cliche, telepathic. Whilst it's often difficult to figure out who is doing what, the gelling of the sounds is perfect, going from meditative to intense, smooth to harsh (but not abrasive). Improvisation at it's best - highly recommended! REVIEW by Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly : The biggest surprise here is not the music but the label. I would expect such fine talents in improvised music to f…

With Notebook, Lukas Ligeti turns a band, a method and a score into the same thing: four pieces where intricate design and on‑the‑spot decision‑making fuse into chamber music that thinks aloud in real time.
Complete Works for Multiple Piano
In Complete Works for Multiple Piano, Morton Feldman’s quietly radical writing for three or more hands is heard as a three‑hour continuum of hushed, hovering sonorities, where time dilates and the piano becomes a shared, breathing instrument.
Behind Eleven Deserts
In Behind Eleven Deserts, Stephan Micus braids suling, sarangi, sitar and bodhrán into a quietly radiant ritual, a 1978 desert mirage where distant traditions dissolve into one slow, breathing, unmistakably Micusian song.
Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999
Larrison’s Connecters Vol. 1: Original Recordings, 1992–1999 rescues a lone CZ‑5000 and one quietly obsessive mind from cassette oblivion, revealing 26 miniatures where lo‑fi space‑age pop, DIY synth craft and daydream cinema gently fold into each other.
The Edgar Broughton Band
2026 stock Originally released in 1971, The Edgar Broughton Band was the group’s third studio album and a defining statement of Britain’s underground rock scene. Sometimes referred to as “The Meat Album” due to its raw sleeve art, the record captures the band at their most uncompromising, blending heavy blues-rock with psychedelic textures, biting political commentary, and moments of fragile folk-inspired beauty. Known for their fiery live performances and countercultural spirit, Edgar Broughton…
