1982
Dark Entries flashes back to the grimy streets of New York City circa 1982 to bring us an unreleased album from cult outfit Ike Yard. Comprised of Stuart Argabright, Michael Diekmann, Kenneth Compton, and Fred Szymanski, Ike Yard sits between the sinewy proto-body music of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the shattered grooves of their No Wave peers in New York.
The band’s initial run was short but blinding. They released an EP for Les Disques du Crépuscule in 1981, which was followed by their legend…
Mercurio
Mercurio is the debut album by Opuntia, the solo project of Mexico City producer Camila de Laborde. After three albums with her duo/band, Camila Fuchs (ATP/Felte, etc.), Camila decides to embark on a new path of musical and interpersonal exploration with Opuntia as her new alias, and with the album Mercurio as a statement of metamorphosis and creative process.
Broadly speaking, Mercurio is a direct impact of beautiful melodies, rhythms, and voices that traverse a leftfield electronic pop axis, s…
Cinnte le Dia
It all started with a crashed computer and it certainly didn’t end there. »Cinnte le Dia« is the third collaborative album by Hanno Leichtmann and Valerio Tricoli, their first entry into Ni Vu Ni Connu’s duo series that focuses on Berlin’s Echtzeitmusik scene and beyond. Having already released two joint records on the now-defunct Entr'acte label, the two musicians wanted to document a 2018 concert in Berlin, but technology failed them. Undeterred, the sound artist and percussionist and the elec…

Empire Illusion
The Attic Magazine's 'Favorite of 2022' "Too hot to handle. Understandable. An inspiring trip with an uncompromising finisher." - Samer El Abassi
Beguiling Isles Trilogy
Sonic travelogue impressions, meditations & reflections on psychoactive experiences, projective imagination, magical speech, dance, and a sense of emergence with the maternal matrix.
"A gradual arc from low key tropical travelogue into full blown fantasy exotica. 'Born Of Earth's Torments' is the most varied of the three, registering somewhere between Martin Denny and Jules Verne. Tracks such as "Body Core" bubble and fizz roots and stems of various traditional styles, as though a transistor rad…
Glyphs & Gods
Glyphs & Gods is a “record that came to be through a channeling of sound in which Tristan & Titania were merely the vessels.” Enigmatic Belgian producer Tristan Vloeberghs (Ohm Meta, WAVradio, Friendship Tapes, Modus Operandi/ Out Innerspace) and Eva Van Deuren (Orphan Fairytale) allure listeners by way of illuminating drone and guiding harmonies that harkens in movements of shimmering reverberation, bent horns of hallowed chambers, animal breaths, and voice echos coming together into blissful s…
Quasimodo the Street Sweeper
"What remarks can recall the pampered page when the subject shines through so many shaken seams? The remarks are for the producer of Quasimodo The Streetsweeper, the mysterious, though constantly revealing, CF, presenting himself here as Universal Cell Unlock. Christopher Forgues of Brown Recluse Alpha, Mark Lord, Kites, and author of blazetastic comic books –ever checkout Power Masters? What remarks could remain after all that? However, one still finds this fresh pile of inviting and mature mus…
Fabulous Soundtracks
Fabulous Soundtracks, the fourth studio album by reclusive Los Angeles musician Jack Name, is an homage to the IRL world and its twisted and varied romance with the worlds of our minds, in a wild collection of "soundtracks'', each a sonic re-construction dedicated to a distinct scene. Both musically and lyrically, this is Name's most adventurous and genre-defying album. Elements of acid, dance, folk, micro-tonal weirdness, horror, sensuality, impressionism, and bursts of rock fuse with Name's mo…
Behind The Buddha’s Mask
Lucky restock ** Limited edition of 60. Comes with two inserts ** Limited to 60 copies only and released by Counter Culture Chronicle, the “Behind the Buddha's Mask” cassette is a stunning effort, largely built around the unique recordings made by Christophe Albertijn at the Middelheim Museum in May 2021. While the pandemic forced poet, writer, sarangi player and global wanderer Louise Landes Levi to reside in Japan, her voice – reciting poems from the “Behind the Buddha’s Mask” poem – was trans…
Process - Complete Collection, vol 2
** Limited edition of 140 numbered copies ** Oversize (cm. 32x25) heavy hardcover book collecting the last four issues of Process magazine. The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered ’60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times. Hundreds of black-cloaked devotees, often wearing a satanic “Goat of Mendes” and a swastika-like mandala, swept the streets of London, New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Toronto, selling magazines a…

In doing so, Papa is able to give his readers an a…
grain
*300 copies limited edition* Grain is the third Innode release following on from Gridshifter in 2013 and syn in 2021. A new methodology to make the album is applied yet again from the trio of Bernhard Breuer, Steven Hess and Stefan Németh. The approach is more an anti approach where the trio let the process of creation itself steer the development of the recording, without any prior conceptual agenda. Irregular rhythmic patterns often served as the initial springboard for each piece with Breuer …
Saturnalia
"Saturnalia sounds like looking into a crystal ball and seeing your past, present, and future all splayed out for you to contemplate and get a little woozy over. McKeown creates a patchwork of dream sequences and woozy psychedelia that range from low key groove and floating-in-space cosmic horror. “Electronic folk horror” was how it was described to me, and I gotta say I can get on board with that description. But there’s much more happening here. Moments I’m reminded of Colin Stetson’s excellen…
Dream Fiend
*70 copies limited edition* »Dream Fiend« is the second release in the limited cassette series focusing on Ameel Brecht's »sleep« compositions. Sinking deeper in the world of sleep, »Dream Fiend« strays into the glittering landscape of nightmares, of almost forgotten fears and dream re-enactment disorders. No mandolins or steel resonators on these 4 tracks, but a farfisa and other electronic keyboards reflecting the shining eyes of animals and ghouls in the dark.
La deviazione del profilo
'La deviazione del profilo’ (the deviation of the profile), is a sound/concrete work that focuses its research on environmental and sonic "profiles" of multiple landscapes, interior or otherwise. It is not about travel, but the freezing of an environment without identity, seeking the auditory erasure of the subject/object concept of a hypothetical territory, temporal suspension. Thus the sound as a weft or a fabric, where, in its spaces, between its threads, voids and smaller sounds nestle. At t…
Shiver Meets Matthew Bourne Volume Two
On July 16 and 17 2021, Shiver met up with Pianist Matthew Bourne at his house in Airedale, Yorkshire. Hungry to make music following various lockdowns, cancellations and disappointments, the quartet embarked on a ferocious two-day journey of exploratory music-making. The weather was good, the connection was immediate. There was much laughing, tea-drinking and storytelling. In the evening, the stove was lit and we listened to music: Stanley Clarke, Paul Simon, Sarah Vaughan, Scott Walker, Eugene…

Originally released as a bonus disc on the definitive ’Noisembryo' 2xcd edition noise matrix absolutely can’t be missed for fans of this period of noise deity Merzbow.

The cases were found clutched in the charred bodies of the fire army. the fire not as in the fire that burns inside but the fire used to keep the frost around hanging meat.
