* First pressing includes a bonus 7" with a non-LP track and the remix of 'Bloodlines' by Pan American * In early 2019, Dominic Appleton met up for lunch in London with 4AD founder Ivo Watts-Russell while the long-retired label boss was visiting from his home in New Mexico. At the time of their lunch Appleton had already agreed to work on an album with Italian composer and producer Matteo Uggeri but was suffering from a minor crisis of confidence. Thanks to Uggeri's persistence and Ivo-Watts' ti…

** Limited edition of 800 copies. Comes with an insert and a download code.  **On their third LP for Ultra Eczema, psychedelic blues gloomers Ignatz & De Stervende Honden have driven off the bendy sideroads and onto a straight, if not exactly narrow, path. And there’s new sounds coming out of the stereo: The Les Rallisez Dénudés-type guitar fuzz of previous journeys has been phased out in favour of softer, repetitive VU stumbling and even some Fleetwood Mac-esque romance. But it remains an unmis…

*300 copies. Turquoise Blue, long sold-out and few available * Esa Kotilainen’s Ajatuslapsi was a very moderate success at the time of its release in 1977 (on Love Records label, also responsible for the Sperm releases), but over the years its cult status has become immense. Svart Records presents the first ever vinyl reissue, with the mastering and cutting of the lathe supervised by Kotilainen himself. Ajatuslapsi is quite a magical record.

* 50th Anniversary edition of 500 individually numbered copies on orange marbled vinyl * Solution is the Solution's impressive self-titled debut album, which was recorded over just three consecutive days in 1971. Blending psychedelic and prog with jazz, Solution created a unique sound. Some of the tracks, such as “Koan” and “Circus Circumstances” (the latter of which was based on a composition by French composer Jacques Ibert), see the band playing frantically as an ensemble, while the shorter a…

The follow-up to Christoph De Babalon’s ‘Teyas’ collaboration with WIDT picks up in equally bleak and dramatic terrain, following his instincts for a sort of theatrical breakcore style comparable with early Venetian Snares on Zhark.  There’s nowt like a bit of German opera to get the blood up, as with the scene setting chorale that gives way to gnashing breaks in ‘Kein Bild Machen’, while ‘Hung on a String’ comms with pebbledash drums and deathly, keening strings beside the bone-clacking breakbe…

Released & unreleased works recorded in Mexico City, 1991-2000. Bringas plays with a delicate balance between experiment & pastoral spaciousness, sounding like Alice Coltrane scoring a Tarkovsky film.  Tunel Hacia Tí (Tunnel Toward You) is a collection of early compositions by Germán Bringas of Portales, Mexico City. This album features songs from his lost cassette ambient jazz opus, "Caminatas" (Hikes), it’s spiritual successor, "Exposción Al Vacio" (Vacuum Exposure), and unreleased works creat…

A few months after the success of "The cave of the lost talisman", here's “The curse of the ancient abbey”, the second chapter of a trilogy by this little, treacherous dungeon-synther humanoid with dog's face. As usual, dungeon-pop music with a lot of analogue synths and 16-bit flavor!

Small repress available Kobold  is a new catacombal composer specialized in dungeon-wave at 8-16 bit. "The Cave of the Lost Talisman" is a D&D adventure module for basic set with players level 1-3. Get down to the dungeon's darkness and be ready to an experience full of moisture and danger. There's a lot of umanoids armed with spiked clubs who hide in the tunnels of an abandoned mine... Retrogamers RPG lovers and old-school dungeons-synth fans should not miss this unique masterpiece of atmospher…

Dna is Rosaceae’s second album for Pudel Produkte after last year’s acclaimed »Efia« for the Hamburg label. The eight tracks further explore the artist’s interest in the interplay of sound and language while also adding skittering rhythms and thumping kickdrums to the mix. »DNA« is a complex but enriching album that as a whole not only reflects ideas of resistance, solidarity and internationalism, but also how they are mediated and their meanings are shaped by different types of mediation.  Whet…

Between August 1980 and March 1981, Les Rallizes Dénudés (or The Naked Larryz, as the long-lost acetate they are rumored to have recorded for Virgin Records in the mid-'70s dubbed them) played seven concerts in and around Tokyo. Never officially released, illicit ninth generation cassette copies circulated in Japanese fan circles for many years, attaining a whispered, Holy Grail status amongst initiates to the Rallizes cult. High quality soundboard versions were finally released by the secretive…

«While composing these pieces, I focused on the 20th and 21st-century composition techniques in three main concepts: Serialism, Microtonality, and Noise. You could almost say the Italian Avant-garde of the last century had it all: noise, new music, and the math of Leonardo of Pisa, later known as Fibonacci.In making Composition For Two Oscillators And Two Tape-Recorders I focused on microtonality. The basic concept I like and play with is when tones get close and start to interact with each othe…

Edition of 130. Much slower and much more hypnotic than the usual EVOL style. Around an hour of weird computer raga. Mind-bending experience quite unlike any other

In Micah Pick and Benjamin Mauch words...The title for this album is an actual snippet of conversation that occurred on the first day of 2020. In the midst of recording music together in Richmond, VA, we took some time to get some fresh air, and were enjoying the unseasonable warmth of the day, but also were reminded that although it felt pleasant in the moment, the warming of the planet is a far from pleasant experience. As enthusiasts of outdoor recreation we have enjoyed warm days in the mids…

Faitiche presents, for the first time on vinyl, a selection from the 84-track (!!) remix project originally released in 2013 as a three-tape set by Trip Shrubb aka kptmichigan aka Michael Beckett. Known to many from bands like Tuesday Weld or The Schneider TM Experience, Beckett remixed his way through Harry Smith’s famous Anthology of American Folk Music – a compilation of American folk, blues and country recordings released in 1952, soon to become key point of reference for the emerging folk r…

Recorded in 2013 and originally self-released on CDR by Jerman in a small edition, New Forces and White Centipede Noise are pleased to make these recordings widely available for the first time.

In recent years he's released numerous recordings, especially from cassette labels. Lorenzo Abattoir, who lives in Torino,…

If you weren’t paying attention, you might think this is a collection of solo ruminations by German pianist Georg Graewe. Listen closer, however, and you’ll discern contributions from harpist Sara Kowal and Viennese turntablist dieb13. Across 15 short improvisations – most of them just two or three minutes long – Graewe’s is the dominant voice. Kowal’s rippling harp tends to blend in with Graewe’s right-hand excursions, adding an extra layer of detail, while dieb13 contributes tactile electronic…

* Edition of 100 * Disrupted Songs is meeting between two musicians with vast experience and different backgrounds, grounded on mutual listening and sensitive balance. Choosing to work on the energy triggered by a clash of imaginative minds who have made research and free improvisation the central point of their action, the duo does not previously set any rule. Simon Balestrazzi (electronic and electroacoustic musician) and Paolo Sanna (percussionist) create their own music in real time, buildin…

From March 8th-14th, 2020, Kuzu was on a seven-concert tour of the United States in the South and Midwest. During that week it became apparent in this country that the world was on the brink of a crisis unknown to humanity for almost exactly a century. In those seven days, the feeling on the street changed from one of anxiety to one of impending doom. By the time the band arrived at Elastic Arts on Thursday, March 12th, their home base in Chicago, it was clear that these would be the last concer…

**200 copies** A Waste of Red Meat responds to the question “what does it mean to be human in the face of technology?” with a brief answer: exactly what it always has meant. To be slightly more specific, what we know as a human exists as an entangled body of tangible and intangible objects, institutions, forces, and histories. And the internet didn’t change that. We have always been these entanglements. The only difference now is that modern technologies have joined in.  To explore this idea, Pe…

**200 copies** After the intense 2020 tape "Tykoching vs. Gamera", Hanzo Hasashi's brand of cinematic, surgically accurate and twitching cut ups continues with "Ikigai" ("a reason for being"). This Japanese concept refers to having a direction or purpose in life, providing a sense of fulfillment and towards which they the person may take actions, giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning. Hanzo Hasashi is an artist involved in the areas of cut-up harsh noise mixed with field recordings, am…

**200 copies** A new work by French raging harsh noise act, Tourette. This is Tourette's first new material since 2017's "Proximité Du Murmure" (Triangle Records).

**200 copies** Ostensione is the act of showing or demonstrating something that usually can't be shown. Something that is not visible or tangible. Inspired by the automatic drawing techniques of Austin Osman Spare and other magical practices.  The main material was recorded between 2018-2020 as part of some darkroom meditation sessions with a tape recorder for the blind (APH), edited in a private home studio in Torino, Italy

Flag Day Recordings is proud to present the new full length album by Tyresta titled "Ordinary Lives"  "Ordinary Lives" is a long form composition, clocking in at just over 33 minutes. Utilizing his modular synthesizer, mellotron, guitar, computer and effects, Nicholas Turner creates a sprawling piece of music that has a breathy, organic pace to it. Percussive, clanging metallic textures weave in and out between orchestral passages reminiscent of early prog and German electronic music. Many times…

Taciturn: inclined to silence; saying little. Moribund: in terminal decline; lacking vitality or vigor.  Cobbled from tapes in various states of erasure, the four tracks of “Taciturn, Moribund” tell a sort of blurry and obscured ghost story. Like a faded photograph, only far less romantic. Largely unrecognizable sound sources, like memories, wither and crumble. Their impressions remain lurking under a hazy veil of tape hiss. What eventually emerges is a tapestry of anxious expanses, interwoven w…

This is so singular. "Creak-whoosh" is a brilliantly unusual Aussie re-imagining of Estonian choral music sung by the children of Estonian refugees and juxtaposed with off-world synthesizer drones and chunky '80s beatbox rhythms. Released in 1988, it sounds like Arvo Pärt, Ryuichi Sakamoto/YMO and Visible Cloaks playing concurrently = a complete one-off.  We've never heard anything quite like this before. Sydney-based musicians Olev Muska and Mihkel Tartu wanted to find a way to rework Finno-Ugr…

* 2021 Stock* Next volume in Heavenly Sweetness' 'Ethiopiques Box' series with some real rarities from the likes of Alemayehu Eshete, Ali Mohamed, Mahmoud Ahmed and more. The boxset contains a poster and 6 stickers of all the original covers.

In a fantastic and primitive land, the kingdom of men is falling. Other, more evolved races control the destinies of the world. The realm of Dalis is the last bastion of humanity, located at the edge of the world on the shores of the Endless Ocean. Weak and divided, men have become prey to powerful neighboring kingdoms. Their greed led them to betray each others. Furrowed by centuries of wars and injustices, the territories of the once prosperous kingdom of men have been largely conquered.  The …

Under a slip of a moon that hung in the air like a clipped fingernail, Pontiff Erasmus honoured the heavens by donning a capirote that forever pointed upward to the grand abyss. It was by the Order of the Osiris Triad that the people of Maypyre were to be put to death, and the Pontiff honoured this request. He opened the Shadesbourne and read from the rotten pages therein. From incantation to action his words became as mists which formed the creature that would devour Maypyre, its people, its li…

* Double violet vinyl * The architect engineer of Industrial music, Chris Carter (Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey) turns classic early works inside out in an Electronic Ambient style on the first of reissued volumes with Mute.  Effectively rendering his seminal solo debut album ‘The Space Between’ in hyperspace, Carter measures distance travelled between the end of the ‘70s and 2000AD with ‘Electronic Ambient Remixes One.’ Originally issued under the CTI alias that he shares with creative and l…

Un Drame Musical Instantané were founded in 1976, featuring Jean-Jacques Birgé, Bernard Vitet and Francis Gorgé. Their aim was to promote collective musical creation, co-signing their albums, which they consider as artworks in themselves, or their live shows which they tried to renew every time they played. Their sound was created with many influences: They borrowed their sources from rock (synthesizer player Birgé and guitarist Gorgé, both authors of the album, Défense de); jazz (trumpeter Vite…

Concordance is Susan Howe’s and David Grubbs’s fifth album in the fifteen years of their unexpected and richly satisfying collaboration. Here they’ve pared down their materials to voice and piano, aspiring to the hushed intensity of their live performances. What had previously resulted from Grubbs’s recomposition of recorded materials now arrives as unadorned duo performance.

Helicotrema is a non-profit festival curated by Blauer Hase and Giulia Morucchio.

The festival is structured in a series of listening sessions, in which the audience is invited to immerse themselves in listening to compositions by international authors. Over the years the fest…

Tip! ** 15 copies * Cristiano Carosi Live recordings from July 2021, affresco for magnetic tapes and FM synthesis melting the abstract with the surreal with the chant of the seagulls

* Edition of 80 tapes (white plastic), hand-dubbed, hand-cut inlays, incl. download * Gud Er Kvinde („God Is A Woman“) is the Danish duo of Maria Bertel and Johannes Lund. They sparsely release music under this moniker. They do have a myspace site. They both played in the Danish version of the Jooklo Duo, aptly entitled Jooklo Danish Group. Maria is playing in one of my all-time favourite bands, Selvhenter. Johannes‘ solo performance at the Kraak Fest 2017 would have been the sole reason for me …
