* 2025 Stock *Time is a trickster on 5980 - Patto Generazionale, the latest offering from Sokushinbutsu Project. Massimo ODRZ Mascheroni and Enrico Ponzoni transmute the shimmer of late-’70s and early-’80s dance-floor forms into a suite of revisions, exquisite in their brevity and sly in their intent. Subtly retooling classic tunes like “Oh! Carol” and “Passion Flower,” the pair do not simply trade in retromania; they stage a negotiation with memory itself, unspooling Italo-gloss nostalgia as it…

With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…

I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…

Welcoming elusive Japanese guitarist, Kouhei Fukuzumi, for his 3rd solo full-length as Ultrafog. ‘A Replica Screams’ emerges as a collection of drifting memories, a chain reaction of unique combinations of elements already present in the World.

*100 copies limited edition* « In 2025, can we still be interested in and write about the music of a band of French musicians, very “underground” who were very young at the time in the early 1970s? » writes Xavier Béal at the opening of his review of Ian Thompson's brand new book "Synths, Sax & Situationists (The French Musical Underground 1968-1978)" in the webzine Rythmes Croisés (published on October 24, 2025).

The piano recital/album sans retour forms the concluding part of Croene's 'Trilogy of Hopelessness' (Cortizona). Conceived as a single, Beethovenian composition, Croene once again demonstrates the wide range of sound palettes a piano can produce. The common thread is a melody based on the 'Dies Irae', which takes six different forms to embody the in memoriam concept.

Weaving a transient web, a dreamatorium with its own agenda thoroughly concerned about space—in—between, From island to island is a subtle sonification of deep musicality, real and surreal journeys, and a giant Maelström hiding the unknown multiverse. Invitation for the descent is open, but whether those journeys are imaginary or not, one thing is certain—both Anja Lauvdal and Manja Ristić must take the ferry home. „Though separated by the sea between Croatia and Norway, the two artists have dev…

*2025 stock* "Fero Király's How Much Can We Understand maps out some of the foggy territory where technological systems intersect with organic complexity. The album's two sidelong tracks were generated using “a cellular automaton with code 357”, a computational model where simple rules applied to a grid of cells produce intricate evolving patterns that echo the inexplicability of natural phenomena. The result is as much a feat of cold engineering as a tender ode to musical minimalism. On side on…

*2025 stock* "The latest album by innovative Slovak composer, Barbora Tomášková, offers a unique suite of sounds, where boundaries between acoustic traditions and exploratory electronics dissolve. The Slovak composer and performer’s practice revolves around innovative use of ’objets trouvé’ and western classical instruments via hefty electronic manipulations and many extended techniques. Taking its name from both the less common and stable form of DNA and the Slovak term for “from the bottom”, Z…

An act of concentration rendered explosive, Debt of Nature’s Robin Diamond’s Lungs lunges at complacency, fusing short-form assaults with caustic wit.

This anthology is the second compilation from EM Records of the works of the late Henry Kawahara, a media artist and electronic music producer who was particularly active in the Japanese cyber-occult underground of the 1990s, a scene linked with technologies such as 3D (binaural) recordings, brain machines, sound chairs, computer graphics and compact discs. These tracks, produced 1990-95, include a series of recordings described as "Parallel Data Sounds" and "Sound LSD", a "new language system t…
