Darkened Obscurities
Darkened Obscurities contains the complete live set from Magasin 4 in Brussels/Belgium, the final stop of the European 14 date tour in 2024. The live set consists of four long pieces with interchangeable sounds that has been performed live since 2019 but always changed and evolved for each year. Many of the sounds may come from various tracks from studio albums, or are newly tailored for the live set, and some sounds are created by live improvisation. All sounds are manipulated and mixed live to…
The Slaying Of The Infants
The Slaying Of The Infants was the very first output from Stratvm Terror, originally released as a very limted edition demo cassette in 1994 (10-15 copies). Pulsing and beating, cold and doom power industrial electronics. Many of the tracks ended up in the first official release Germinal Chamber, released on cassette by OEC later the same year, but slightly different recordings/versions. Sleeve design mimic the design of the original demo cassette.
Campaign 2024
300 copies limited edition Second CD album (after the "Sutcliffe Jugend - Masks" / 2016) out on OEC by the UK masters! Very "old school Industrial" & a very "Sutcliffe Jugend" sounding album!Two wasps microphone feedback and Paul’s noise generator. Suitably fucked up!
Reel to Reel
*300 copies limited edition* The sounds in this double CD (already available as CD + Music Cassette in the "Atrax Morgue's - Mörder Machine" Box), are the very last recordings by Marco Corbelli and was found on a couple of reels in his studio after his death. For these recordings Marco used an old Korg MS20 synthesizer which produced a continuous background noise together with the audio signal, such noise is clearly audible in the recordings. During the editing phase this hiss was kept as an int…
Information Overload Unit
OEC is proudly going for the re-release of this Industrial timless masterpiece on its 45th anniversary! And after 45 the relevance of that album is incredible, it feels like it was recoded yestarday. The lack of equipment & tools has sharpened creativity. Information Overload Unit by "System Planning Korporation / << SPK >>" is simply a M.U.S.T.
A reference and absolute highlight in Industrial culture and muzak!
Éthiopiques 20: Live In Addis
*2024 stock* Russ Gershon and his Grammy-nominated Either/Orchestra have included many Ethiopian pieces into their repertoire in recent years. In January 2004, the Boston big band travelled to Addis for a dream-come-true concert featuring prestigious Ethiopian guests, among them Mulatu Astatqè (Ethiopiques 4, «Broken Flowers») and Gétatchèw Mekurya (Ethiopiques 14). This recording perfectly renders the energy and emotion of this gathering, with beautiful arrangements remarkably performed by exce…
Éthiopiques 19: Alèmyé
*2024 stock* «An authentic legend in Ethiopia, Mahmoud Ahmed has laid down the basis of a music style which is resolutely original in the way it synthesizes the most diverse influences into a language both typical and universal. With his haunting, serpentine voice, at the same time raucous and velvety, Mahmoud Ahmed has invented a world of uncertain borders, an improbable mix of Eastern-African rhythmic lines, mysterious laments with refined ornamentation and melodies of unexpected Indian modula…
Éthiopiques 18: Asguèbba!
*2024 stock* «Asguèbba!» is the Azmari’s cry urging listeners to enter into the dance, an invitation carrying the same sexual innuendo as Latino’s ¡Va dentro! The recordings on this CD are intended as a continuation of those in Tètchawèt! (Ethiopiques 2) and feature most of the artists from the first edition.The songs are accompanied on the mèessenqo (one string fiddle), the krar lyre, the kebero drum and the accordion.
Paper Jays
While their name may conjure images of avian origami, rolled cannabis, or cut-up 10th letters, Paper Jays are an instrumental music body from Rhode Island that became fully formed during the session for their forthcoming eponymous release on ESP-disk. Prior, Jesse Cohen and Justin Hubbard’s guitar duo (a trio, only if counting the unmanned feedback drone of a hollow-bodied Gibson) had been contentedly performing and apartment taping for a solid five years. But after witnessing drummer and percus…
Breakdown Lane: Free Solos & Duos 1976-1998
"Duck Baker should be a national treasure. He should be an international treasure. Should be? In my book he already is. I first came across his work in the 1970s on early Kicking Mule LPs in my local library in the UK, which was his temporary base then, and is his permanent home now. Many years later I was astounded by Spinning Song, his CD of Herbie Nichols compositions. Around the same time, I made contact with him by way of thanks following a review he wrote of my work on Stuff Smith and, lat…

One Evening and Other Folk Songs
Infinite-Sum Game is a curated selection of my solo piano performance in Palermo on May 13th, 2023, at Sala Perriera in the Cantieri Culturali alla Zisa. I have the deepest gratitude first and foremost to Lelio Giannetto and Valeria, as well as Gabri, Luca, Yuki, Angela, Curva Minore, SIO, and the greater Sicilian musical community. It's a great honor to have been embraced by the community in Palermo, to be able to spend so much time there, and to collaborate with so many artists who have become…
Until the End of Vibration
The latest album from Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93) collects 23 vignettes woven into each other to create a piece of work that appears like the soundtrack to a drama seeped in melancholy yet rich in surprising twists and turns. Using piano, electronics, organ, electronics, rhythm, guitar and orchestral sweeps, 'Until the End of Vibration' draws from a variety of sources of inspiration to ultimately end up at a place Michael Cashmore has long been chiselling at with a solo career that…
Go 'Swish
*50 copies limited edition* Goldsmiths graduate, visual artist and composer Maz Gilkes - aka Mazy Day - untethers a debut of simmering organ improvisations and disembodied pop, with Go 'Swish. Working from organ recordings made in a Cornish church, Mazy can be heard toying with familiar structures, as popular music forms and progressions are delicately pulled apart and held up to the bliss and crackle of electroacoustic light.
The album reads like a crumpled collection of charcoal rubbings; melo…
Monster A Go-Go (Teen Trash From Psychedelic Tokyio '66-'69)
Sought-after compilation exploring the Group Sound movement that swept Japan in the mid 1960s. Under the influence of the Beatles dozens of Japanese bands devoted themselves to exporting a wide genre that ranged from surf-rock, garage fuzz, psych and wild R&B.

Blickwinkel
Tip! CD version. After dipping into the archive to deliver a series of essential reissues, Bureau B continue to encourage the chaotic brilliance of Faust with an LP of brand-new music curated by originator Zappi Diermaier and a band of musical friends, including fellow founder Gunther Wüsthoff. Over the years Faust has become many things, each as separate as the fingers, but as together as the hand which makes up their eponymous fist. From 1971 to 1974 the Hamburg band blazed a bold sonic trail,…
Volume 1
*Limited Edition of 100. Pink Vinyl! 2024 stock* Super groups are not a riskless endeavor—but when they’re made up of longtime friends and master improvisers, they tend to work. On their collaboration, simply titled Volume 1, up-and-coming American saxophonist John Dikeman (When The Time Is Right, 577 Records, 2021) is accompanied by a group of UK-based music masters: pianist Pat Thomas, a 577 Records mainstay (Shifa Live at Cafe Oto 2019, BleySchool 2019, Shifa Live in Oslo 2020, Educated Guess…
Music Frees Our Souls Vol. 2
