Mesmerine 111
Illustrious Company presents... Mesmerine 111. This is a 3D soundscape based on / inspired by the frequency 111Hz, which has been historically and scientifically proven to induce a trance-like state. Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporarily switches from left to right-sided dominance, which is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a t…
B side
Shadows fold into colour. Memory dissolves into noise. You brush up against the walls of the mind. Touch is soft as breath. On ‘B-Side’, Areliz Ramos follows her work’s current into its more “fantastic and elusive… and even romantic” side; a place where fantasy loosens the bolts of reality and memory, and emotion is alluringly refracted into musical collages and loose-strung compositions. Across the album, voices drift in and out of an intimate space, while pensive guitar lines stumble and bloom…
Vite Altre
*OBS written in Italian language* "Vite Altre" is a small fanzine featuring six short stories, collected through a call launched via social media and word of mouth. It’s a modest project, born somewhat playfully. The idea took shape at the beginning of summer 2024, and the first contributions came from friends and supporters of the initiative. This collection features stories that venture into brief forays of speculative biology and science fiction. Each piece enriches a shared narrative of inte…

Prince Of The City
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Jay Productions, presents the premiere CD release of Paul Chihara’s noir score for Sidney Lumet’s masterful Prince Of The City (1981), starring Treat Williams, Jerry Orbach and Carmine Caridi. The film is about a New York City narcotics detective (Williams) who reluctantly agrees to cooperate with a special commission investigating police corruption; he soon realizes he’s in over his head and that nobody can be trusted. Lumet chose Maestro Chihara, widely a…
The Twelve Chairs
Quartet Records, in collaboration with Jay Productions, presents the premiere CD release of John Morris’ score for his second collaboration with Mel Brooks, The Twelve Chairs (1970), starring Ron Moody, Frank Langella, Dom DeLuise and Brooks himself in the role of Tykon. Other scores by Morris include Young Frankenstein, The In-laws, The Elephant Man and Clue. Based on a 1928 Russian-language novel by Soviet satirists Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov, The Twelve Chairs is a bittersweet comedy about 19…
Arabella
Quartet Records and Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection proudly present the world premiere release of Ennio Morricone’s charming score for Virna Lisi’s 1967 romantic-comedy Arabella, directed by Mauro Bolognini and also starring Terry-Thomas (in multiple roles), James Fox and Margaret Rutherford. This was Morricone’s first collaboration with Bolognini, marking the beginning of a long relationship spanning three decades and producing some of the Roman maestro’s finest and most roman…
For Those Who Wish to Sing Will Always Find a Song
One night, not too long ago at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ryan Sawyer introduced his piece, “For Those Who Wish to Sing, Will Always Find a Song.” He invited the audience to sing along at any point they felt moved to, “just abstract ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs,’ or ‘oms,’ or whatever.” The small stage was crowded with musicians – The Shaker Ensemble – which that night included Jessica Pavone on viola, Nate Wooley on trumpet, Laura Cocks on flute, Stuart Bogie on clarinet, cellist Lester St. Loui…
[music for] A Thousand Ways to Run
*30 copies limited edition* Physical is excited to announce the release of (music for) A Thousand Ways to Run. This sonic journey brings together the eclectic talents of pianist Ben Kujawski, drummer Abigail Smith, and guitarist/harmonicist Justin Rhody, whose collaborations coalesce in a collection that blurs the lines between avant-jazz, experimental soundscapes, and evocative improvisation. Recorded in the intimate setting of Kujawski’s home studio in 2023, the album is an invitation to liste…
split
From the enigmatic fringes of experimental sound comes an extraordinary split release between K/S/R and The Tulsa Ball Room Singers—a bold document of two singular live performances where music and moving image intertwine.
Stenhjärta 2
The second album from Stenhjärta follows up Gryning Kommer Röd (Grapefruit Records, 2024) and very much continues in the same vein while approaching a rather damn catchy pop song format at times. Fear not, Stenhjärta is still a group heavily rooted in the Swedish prog/folk tradition of the 70's, the 13 songs here just showcases a somewhat wider scope, the duo taking things a notch further with more elaborate songwriting and a whole slew of wonderful A-sides along the often damaged ride. Lyricall…
Altar
*2025 stock* NOx is the sonic reaction between Pedro Roque and Jerome Faria. Both accomplished musicians with diverse backgrounds in various musical genres, Roque brings extensive experience and a passion for pushing boundaries at Portugal's heavy music scene, while Faria contributes with innovative soundscapes and experimental techniques. Together, they conjure an immersive experience that defies clear definitions and challenges the boundaries of experimental music.

Medusa
Dead Janitor is the alter-ego for Slovak electronic technician Braňo Findrik. Over the past decade, he has steadily produced a series of digital releases leading to his debut Medusa LP for Urbsounds. With an arsenal of pixelated breakbeats and stuttering samples, Dead Janitor presents an adventurous form of polymetric electronica, echoing the complex IDM explorations of the pioneering work of Aphex Twin and Autechre. Medusa is an apt title for the album that hybridizes digital and analogue techn…
Canyon Blood
Darkly romantic and steeped in candlelit dread, Canyon of Blood is the new full-length album from The Garden Gate. Built around brooding string arrangements, vintage synthesizers, and harpsichord-toned textures, the record conjures a lush, haunted landscape, part western mirage, part baroque hallucination. Laced with 60s occult psych influences and underpinned by dusty drum machines, Canyon of Blood feels like Morricone scoring a fever dream rather than a duel. It’s music that floats somewhere b…
The Sound of Raspberry
Tip! “This is what we need! In these confused, populistic and fascist times — this is the jazz we need! Urgent! Dedicated! Radical! Unique-face-peeling-cutting- edge- and- totally-in-your-face-MF! This is all we need for a better living! Think… Borbetomagus, John Zorn, TG, Masami Akita, Hanatarash… this is it and yet, not at all alike!” - Mats Gustafsson "Absolutely blistering duo album. The sax sounds like it's laser-cutting its way through the atmosphere while the drums expand and contract the…
Chwalfa
Tip! “Chwalfa” (Welsh for “dispersal, rout, upheaval, upset, or a confused or chaotic state”) documents the first return of Incapacitants to the UK since 2016. With the windows boarded up and the subs doubled, two ordinary looking blokes Toshiji Mikawa and Fumio Kosakai obliterate OTO’s usual whisper hush with clipped out, scorched earth tape loops and pedal chains - transporting the room to the planet’s furnace core and back again. It’s all music, all at once, in a whorling vortex of time bendi…
I Lost Myself In Finding You
Erototox Decodings proudly presents "I Lost Myself In Finding You," a mesmerizing new album from the international trio Rasha Ragab, Christoph Nicolaus, and Lucio Capece. Released November 4, 2022, this recording is a unique confluence of voices, tradition, and modern sonic investigation, designed to captivate the ear and spirit alike - Rasha Ragab: Egyptian performer renowned for her evocative vocal presence, blending singing with Sufi poetry and texts.- Christoph Nicolaus: Innovator of the sto…
Omnis Festinatio Ex Parte Diaboli Est
One of contemporary ambient’s preeminent figures lands on its leading label, enacting a transition into a new phase of rhythmic noise and tonal shadowplay laced with peculiar sensitivities, wrangling Dilloway-influenced tape noise thru ASMR ambience, fritzed dub techno, layered vocal drone and ritualistic mantras. Perila steps up solo with a heavily satisfying debut for West Mineral, investigating negative space and states of subconsciousness. The shift in tone feeds forward into arcane realms o…
All It Was
This music was written in a period of intense emotions, as the grief and pain of losing my father tangled and fused with horror and despair at the genocide in Palestine – but life is complicated, and the music also comes from joy and love “Listening intently to raptors” is dedicated to the great bassist John Lindberg, and the title comes from an email correspondence we had during covid lockdown. “After a break” appeared fully formed after quite a long period of composer’s block, while listening …
