Olas Curativas
Lamina is the moniker of multi-disciplinary French artist Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. In Basque mythology, the Lamina is half-human, half-animal; a nocturnal creature that lives in caves close to water sources and creeks. Taking influence from the natural world, works of hydrofeminism, and experiences with hypnotism, on ‘Olas Curativas’ Lamina sculpts a new ecosystem to explore.
"Blood, bile, intracellular fluid; a small ocean swallowed, a wild wetland in our gut; rivulets forsaken making their way…
If We Land On Water
These two are friends. You can tell. They converse with each other, musically speaking. They connect in the way that only really happens when words aren’t needed to explain what you’re getting at. You’ll know when you listen because you’ll hear the trust between them. No fear of self expression to be found here, it’s direct.
They’ve each done great things. Brilliant releases on wonderful labels of varying types, shapes and sizes. They might even have had a hand in running some of them. You can l…
The Aegean Sea
*2024 much needed repress!!* Victory present a reissue of Haruomi Hosono, Takahiko Ishikawa, and Masataka Matsutoya's The Aegean Sea originally released in 1979. The album is somewhat of a companion piece to the previous year's Pacific (V 25AH426). A beautiful piece of Japanese smooth fusion-jazz with elements of traditional Greek music and Balearic grooves, it's one of Hosono's cleanest and most focused works to date. Long sought-after by collectors, this record is nearly impossible to find in …
Lume
*100 copies limited edition* Nitechord is an intercontinental ambient-tech duo that has so far issued only two remixes, but they emerge in full form on Lume, a début that extols the calm and mystery of night through mid-tempo pulses and shadowy whispers. Their initial cassette demo landed in Past Inside the Present's mailbox in 2022, devoid of credits or other biographical information, accompanied only by a brief quatrain:
“We hopethere is room enoughin your worldfor this work.”
Those original r…

“A unique and essential recording that is an absolute dream musically in every way possible” – Paul Murphy (Jazz Room)
Forms of Paper
In a worthy tribute to the life and legacy of one of the great artists of our time, the always fantastic, Monterrey, Mexico, based imprint, Aurora Central, returns with a stunning, first ever vinyl pressing of Steve Roden's seminal 2001 full length “Forms of Paper”. A landmark in the history of Lowercase music - the idiom that Roden helped pioneer - unfurling like an alien, microscopic landscape, it's one of the true marvels of post-millennial sound practices that remains as effective and radica…
VHS
Tip! Do not adjust your tracking… Spun Out Of Control is proud to present its second ever release from Gary Collins. ‘VHS’ follows up Collins’ 2018’s tremor-down-the-spine inducing ‘Suzy Went Missing’ album, also on sold-out cassette, and prior releases on the Giallo Disco label. An Italo/horror disco flavoured homage to the one-time joys of renting forbidden ‘video nasties’ on cassette, each track on ‘VHS’ soundtracks an imagined movie from 1979 through to 1990. Titles including ‘Flesh Cult’, ‘…
Hardanger

Chaque Rémanence Se Rappelant À Son Souvenir Propre

Tourne-Disque
300 copies limited edition A siren sounds. Is it the keel coming to free the worker from her harsh task? Or the call of an iron whale inviting us to set sail for the depths? End of work, beginning of the dream: the grooves here will not be the fruit of plowing but moving reliefs to be explored. Because if there is indeed a paradoxical guide capable of activating the levers of such a liberation of esgourdes, by playing at will with the effects of sliding between the concrete and the abstract, the…

Soft Focus : Volume Two
Tip! Edition of 250. It is absolutely appropriate the second volume of Wednesday Knudsen’s Soft Focus suite appears as spring finally begins to take hold. Like the brilliant first section of this work (the whole of which was initially released on CD), the music here is a celebration of shimmering sunlight and the awakening of nature’s tonal brilliance. But where the first LP focused on more bite-sized pieces of work, this one envisions and documents instrumental horizons that are ever expanding.…
