Route Des Sources
*100 copies limited edition* Gianfranco Piombo plays accordion, accompanied by a windscreen wiper motor as percussionist and a fan that makes two truck shock absorbers sing. This little orchestra unfolds in a hypnotic, repetitive drone. A poor man's trance, made up of vibrations, harmonics, gasps, nerves and electricity.
Magik Park
*100 copies limited edition* ‘Magik Park’ is our world seen as an amusement park where the marvellous masks the horrible, where entertainment and madness mingle to generate permanent chaos.

Bumpin'
Limited Edition 180 Gram Gatefold LP Reissue. Released on the Verve label in 1965, Bumpin' was Wes Montgomery's first album to reach the charts, climbing to #116 on the Billboard 200 chart. In his All Music review, Shawn M. Haney gave the LP four-and-a-half stars (out of five) and praised it by stating that, "Not only is Wes' brilliant command of the six-string present here, so is the vivid color tones of notes and blue notes played between. Backed up by a hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing or…
Joao Gilberto
*Back in print by popular demand!* Joao Gilberto's self titled third album, is the fruit of the collaboration between Gilberto and the great composer and arranger Antonio Carlos Jobim and Walter Wanderley and his ensemble. This is one of the greatest pieces of work in the field of Brazilian music. Gilberto's delicate singing moves on top of extremely subtle, elegant orchestral arrangements of various songs from the classic repertoire, "Samba da Minha Terra" and "Saudade da Bahia" (Dorival Caymmi…
For John Cage
Temporary Super Offer! John Cage was an evangelist for a new mode of listening in which we would listen to everything with the same attention that we bring to music. For John Cage proposes instead that we listen to this music as if it were everything. While these two instruments are playing there is nothing else, just a violin and a piano. Even the process of remembering, normally so important in helping us make sense of what we hear, is altered: the ‘tenuous’ rhythms of For John Cage articulat…
D'été

Trouvé Perdu
*100 copies limited edition* For his 4th solo album, Gilles Poizat continues his highly personal musical adventures, finding a fertile partner in interactive electronics.

The sounds he plays come back transformed into a mutant orchestra, pulsing and chaotising his floating songs and stimulating his improvisations.

If There Were No Opposites
Temporary Super Offer! A couple of the pieces on Nick Fraser's If There Were No Opposites, the quartet’s fourth album, were adapted from Fraser's compositions for dance productions by Decidedly Jazz Danceworks." But while the original versions of “Shoe Dance” and “The Fashion Show” had to adhere to rigid timing requirements in order to coordinate with the rest of the stage production, the quartet lets the music flow in more free-wheeling fashion. The quartet first recorded in 2012, and its perso…
Concert à la Cave 12
*100 copies limited edition* "Out there Norwegian guitarist-performer-singer, Gaute Granili, a true prodigy of (de)structured psychedelic song that we have been following since his beginnings, continues his explorations of sweet madness by donning a fantastic collection of strange twisted stretched beads, filled with ghost/haunting folk music, which one has the impression of knowing from who knows where, of lyrics sung in unknown vocabularies and of pop surges deboned by a psychedelic gnome mess…

*100 copies limited edition* Selection of eight moments of cybernetic self-hypnosis, observe a tiny point and enter it. Associate sound impressions and abstract emotions, Nocola Henry's laboratory avatar.

John Cage Variations + Four6
Temporary Super Offer! "I ask how CALATO's use of graphic scores help them break down the divisions between contemporary composition and improvisation? “We started as a noise improvisation band,” they respond. “We spent several years playing together without any kind of parts or scores, just working deeply on listening to each other, reacting and generating a kind of togetherness that made it possible to create live music in a very fast and intuitive way.” Then they started investigating diffe…
IJsschots Veenlaag Mist
*200 copies limited edition* We’re delighted to announce the triumphant return of Steve Marreyt, aka Edgar Wappenhalter. Here he reverts to making gritty reverb-drenched folksongs. But the poetic and electronic elements from his previous album remain – they’re just incorporated in the songs this time. It makes ‘Ijsschots Veenlaag Mist’ probably Wappenhalter’s most balanced work thusfar. Songs like ‘Hallusineren’ or ‘Vogel rok diamant’ prove he’s one of the best intuitive songwriters around, wher…
Nameless Science
*2024 stock. 90 copies limited edition, very last ones in stock* Thought Broadcast return with a highly limited new long player via the freshly minted Amok Age. It's been over a decade since we first heard from Ravi Binning's project, arriving at around the same time as Blackest Ever Black and what felt like a renewed interest in blasted post-industrial electronics. Whether that interest still prevails i'm not sure, but Nameless Science nonetheless finds Binning worshipping at the same cursed al…
Live in Siberia
Like many Birch Book/In Gowan Ring fans, we have been waiting for new releases from B'ee. So today, IFP is happy to announce the imminent release of a live recording, which has been in the works for over 10 years. The concert was recorded thirteen years ago, in August 2011, when IFP and friends invited our beloved B'ee to visit us in Siberia, where we were based at that far time.
“Live in Siberia” is a 70-minute immersion in the friendly atmosphere of a small chamber hall and enjoyment of those …
Lewis Spybey
From out of nowhere comes a unique collaborative album from Edvard Graham Lewis (Wire) & Mark Spybey (Zoviet France). Mixing lush electronic rhythms, sonic collage, ambient soundscapes and manipulated field recordings, these six compositions form an album with a strong identity. That this is such a vital and fertile partnership should come as no surprise. After all, both men have made careers out of creating confidently questing musics. Lewis with Wire, He Said, Hox, Dome etc. and Spybey with De…
Agenesis
The sharp staccato of a cicada, stuck in a tropical stairwell, throwing its body against a fluorescent light – it keeps trying to force a solution despite it clearly not working. The submerged melodies of an 84 year old acetate echo the reflection in the play-of-light which inspired its name. A Benedictine monastery’s pipe organ in Ireland’s west sounds with and against those of a Cathedral organ pipes’ contrasting intonation at St Fin Barre’s in Ireland’s south. Voices laugh in backstreets disc…
