Genuine Leather (Book)
For the past fifteen years, Jan Utecht has toured North America, Europe, the UK and Scandinavia with his black metal band Occvlta. During this time he started taking photos with a small format camera, inspired by analogue and point-and-shoot photography. This gave him the opportunity to portray more than a hundred metalheads, friends and musicians.
Some of the people you see in this book are pictured on posters that have hung on the walls of rehearsal rooms for decades, including his own. These …
LÄRM #2
*Bilingual Edition (English / German)* Once more, it’s a journey to the fringes. Recalling resistant and peculiar aesthetics, wondrous and forgotten outgrowths of music and cultural history of the last seventy years – a search for works with inherent value, often contrary to a semblance of seriosity. Among them are Vox Populi!, Takahisa Zeze, Antediluvian, Unica Zürn, Wolfgang Hilbig, Sergio Martino and others.
Killer Whale Atmospheres
Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement surprise album just in time before the migration to cooler waters. Grown in the shade of the glacier. Killer Whale Atmospheres is a future-memory affair of sub bass propulsive drones, rhythms, chords and dorsal scars building to a forbidding sense of cold echolocations yet to come through the violent procession of darkening rains.

Slow Dazzle
Following on quickly from Fear, and capitalizing on that album's energy Slow Dazzle is another fiery release by Velvet Underground founder John Cale.
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Released in March 1975, initially, the album offers a false sense of mellow security: "Mr Wilson", a tribute to Brian, the leader of Cale's beloved Beach Boys starts the album on a much sweeter note than "Fear Is A Man's B…
Helen Of Troy
Recorded quickly between John Cale producing Patti Smith's Horses and his going out on an Italian tour, Helen Of Troy became Cale's third and final studio album for Island Records.
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Helen Of Troy is a raw, fascinating listen. The title track with its horns and spoken word is one of Cale's best: after the sweet bubblegum of "China Sea", the album gets increasingly strippe…
Fear
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1974 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Fear marked Cale's return to recording in London after the best part of a decade in America. Signing to Island Records, he made fast friends with two key admirers, Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, who assisted him in returning his music to the rawer sound of his earlier work, as opposed to the lush textures of his previous studio album, Paris 1919. The tense, clipped "Fear…

An astounding gesture of large ensemble vocal Minimalism, privately issued as the lone release on Fricke’s own Lorck Publication München imprint in 1983, this marvel of deeply emotive and transcendent immersion into rich te…
Dunstkreis
*100 copies limited edition* Label head Kobermann returns with a cast of local associates, mostly all new names to us, clustering a varied batch of styles / sounds that skirt round the very edge of the dance floor and bleeds out into the aether. The title ‘Dunstkreis’ or ‘Haze Circle’ for the non-Deutsch speakers, captures it beautifully, with Voyage Futur’s mellow Rhodes chord opener and the cosmic smog of Blacklight Chameleon fogging out the room. Sparring partners and regular ANF favourites…

Dean & Britta, well-known from their work defining a genre with Galaxie 500 and Luna, join Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, another bastion of indie’s collective adolescence, to bring to life a collection that draws from early ‘60s pop, garage, country, James Bon…

Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Vol. 2
Here is the second volume of protean solo improvisations recorded by Loren Connors in his artist's garret in New Haven, Connecticut. Like the first volume, it was committed to tape and pressed to vinyl in 1979. Never having seen a copy of this record, and having pressed it before we discovered a master cassette exists, this is as good a transfer as can be had for the nonce. Loren's chair creaks like rusty crow and the amount of random tapping and thumping during the original session just about d…
