Slow Urge
Tip! *150 copies limited edition on chrome tapes* Slow Urge is the second release by Primitive Wings, released only two months after the project’s debut full-length CD, 'Morphosis'. Recorded during the same sessions as the full-length, these seven noisy tracks formed a branch of their own, which is different, but still gets nourishment from the same soil as the predecessor. 'Slow Urge' is 21 minutes of straightforward mono noise. The approach is raw and primitive, but it still lets the nuances a…
Afreaka!
Limited Edition of 1500 Coloured Copies. Individually Numbered. 180 gram audiophile vinyls. Demon Fuzz’s Afreaka is one of the great artefacts of the cultural flowerings which occurred during the late 1960’s and early 70’s. Forming in Britain - its members gathering from across the globe, the band was an open defiance of categorisation - drawing equally on jazz, soul, funk, rock, and the music of Africa. Released in 1970 by the iconic imprint Dawn - know for their incredible outings with Mike Co…
Studio Sessions 1972 & 1980
Freaked out lo-fi psychedelic noise recordings from 1972 and 1980 by the mythical Japanese psych rockers Les Rallizes Dénudés, including the 23 minute "Guitar Jam" filling the complete A-side, a sort of Stooges riff with Ramones like drumming ending up in a total feedback noise orgy. Recorded on Sept. 9, 1980. Side B starts with the droning 18 minute track "A Tale Of Love," from the same 1980 Mars Studio sessions recorded 3 days before "Guitar Jam" and ends with a 6 minute version of the classic…
Gymnasieåren
Tip! Debut album from 18-year old Discreet Music hangaround Andre. Home recorded brilliance mainly based on guitar and occasional synthesizers with a sparse use of environmental recordings. The A-side was recorded in September and October 2022 and is a majestic collage of introspective bummed out music with gloomy drones and almost sacral-sounding segments, in atmosphere close to some of the more melancholic chunks of the past FFFM discography. Recorded in December the same year, the flipside is…

Late Again
Big Tip! When the sun hovers near the horizon, the rays of white sunlight are scattered out of the beam by small particles and molecules in the atmosphere that sprinkle the sky with brilliant hues indicating that the day starts to fade. As night begins to fall, tree-tops redden and begin to glow. Darkness closes in and falls like a blanket covering the sky. It is late again and all is in shadow below. It is when stars align and dreams come true. Sven Wunder thrives at nightfall and welcomes the …

New from Strut, a fresh reissue of the classic debut album Try And Love from one of Nigeria’s most celebrated Afro-rock bands, Ofege. Formed by guitarist Melvin Ukachi and bassist Paul Alade while young students at St Gregory’s school in Lagos, Ofege first found their feet borrowing instruments and supporting school band The Groove Makers. Discovering drummer Mike Meme by chance at a school dance and adding Dapo Olumide on keys and Felix Inneh on rhythm guitar, they met EMI’s resident producer /…
Love’s Lesson
Fifth vinyl album (there have been four cassettes as well) by this Baltimore-based duo with international roots. Zomes began as a solo project by Asa Osbourne (ex-Lungfish, The Pupils), and recorded mostly solo drone-based instrumentals for several years. While performing at a festival in Stockholm, Asa met vocalist Hanna Olivegren, who shared his musical conceptions. Zomes's first record as a duo was 2013's Time Was (Thrill Jockey), and they have remained a two-piece ever since. The music on Lo…
La Prise Electronique
"There's a pleasant perfume reminiscent of Air emanating from the music French artist Fabien Guiraud presents on his third album La Prise Électronique (The Electronic Plug) particularly in the filmic element they both share. In the last ten years, diligently clocking up his 10,000 hours with bands like Chateau Marmont and Cargo, Guiraud's work has progressively found focus in music for film, latterly as a member of Odd Collective. The fourteen tracks here represent a snapshot (like a faded Polar…
Brutes And Savages (Original Soundtrack Music)
Quartet Records, in collaboration with the Riz Ortolani estate, presents the premiere CD edition of one of the titles most requested by maestro Ortolani’s fans: the bizarre 1978 mondo movie Brutes And Savages (aka Savana Selvaggia). Written by Jenny Craven and directed by Arthur Davis, this belongs to the select group of mondos that became notorious not for their shocking content, but for their lack of understanding of the genre. Surviving in two different cuts (92 mins vs. 107 mins), Brutes An…
Reconfiguring the Landscape
An artistic research project led between 2019 and 2022, investigating how 3-D electroacoustic composition and sound-art can evoke and provoke a new awareness of our outdoor sound environment. The integration of art and technology was central to the investigation that focused on sound, space, time and the utility of outdoor areas. The ideas were tested in artistic creations, and during a three-year period Natasha Barrett created a series of site-specific, outdoor sound installations. These works …
Maxi-Music
Guy Pedersen's magical Maxi Music, originally released on cult Parisian library label tele Music in 1972, is psyche-rock and jazz-funk gold. It's a vital Pederson outing, oscillating between the rough and the smooth, but always with those hypnotic grooves. It's a start-to-finish winner, yet the final 13-minute-long opus will blow minds. "Prétexte Pour Indicatifs" is so mighty, it was covered by Keith Mansfield on "Hot Property" from Big Business/Wind Of Change on KPM. "Purgatoire Mood (Interlude…

Ancient Africa
Ancient Africa represents Nat Birchall’s official follow-up to last year’s universally acclaimed Mysticism of Sound. Nat once again plays all the instruments here, tenor and soprano saxophone, bass clarinet, bass, drums and percussion. But this time around the Korg synth is replaced by piano as Nat wanted to utilise a more “classic” Jazz sound to express his musical visions. He has also arranged the songs for multiple horns, with melodies and harmonies played by up to five different instruments …
