Earlier this year, Light In The Attic released the mysterious, bewitching L’Amour, a 1983 private press record thought to be the only release by one of music’s true lost talents: Lewis. So lost, in fact, was Lewis, he eluded every effort to track him down. Scant details were known: just a series of possibly apocryphal stories about a sports car-driving Canadian with a model on his arm and a habit of skipping town when there were bills to be paid. Deciding that Lewis’ spider web-delicate songs de…

A vinyl reissue of the 1977 LP by an interesting progressive/symphonic group from France, influenced by a.o. Yes and early Genesis.

"Atlantide, from France, is largely regarded as one of musical producer and engineer Jean-Pierre Massiera's major 70s projects, rather than being highlighted as a short-lived ensemble. While their sole, self-titled album failed on the path towards popularity and promotion, it is instead significantly appreciated for the classic-sounding, obscure and rare French prog treat it mirrors. Massiera's endless activity and broad achievements are too prolific to be covered here. His other notable (if not…

This sequel to the acclaimed Cosmic Machine compilation released in 2013 is another fantastic journey through time and space. At the time musicians were trying to capture the sounds of meteorites entering the terrestrial atmosphere thanks to machines developed by NASA engineers, a new generation of analog synthesizers enabled electronic music composers to take over the charts. It seemed the machines were definitely made to serve a radical avant-garde, and many years later, we're glad to be able …

The first LP by Fusiller allows an intimate exploration of his very own musical language presented through his crafted electronic instruments, skills coming form his engineering background.

The LP is a precisely arranged progression of selected experimental sound objects…

Live from the Commodore Ballroom captures a legendary performance by UJ3RK5 in Vancouver in 1980. A strongly visual Canadian art-rock group, sharing an affinity with bands such as Devo and Talking Heads, UJ3RK5 emerged out of punk, new wave, and post-punk music, as well as the Vancouver School of photo conceptualism that some of the members were associated with. The band included artists Rodney Graham, Jeff Wall, and Ian Wallace among others, and while at the time the band eschewed the art…

An incredible exploration of true minimalism with a capital M in the vein of Eliane Radigue, La Monte Young, Alvin Lucier or Pauline Oliveros. Composer, improviser, pianist and accordionist, Leo Svirsky is based in the Hague, Netherlands. As a composer, his work explores how the instability of listening itself transforms the perception of musical semantics and affect. Disorientations of memory and spatial awareness are nevertheless bounded by a rootedness in song and story. With his new wor…

"Winter" is a cold-wave, proto-techno track. "Summer" is a lyrical and romantic instrumental. With Van Tieghem's drumming laying down th…

Solo work of free-improvisation/immediate-composition on acoustic lapsteel, banjo, mandoline, acoustic guitar, 12 and 6 strings electric guitar. As David Keenan puts it "There is something of the late John Fahey's electrical guitar conceptions in the movement of Lacroux's playing, particularly his last recordings, where John Fahey's umbilical to country blues extended far enough to make of it a future wraith, the ghost of it's origin come back as a distant dream. (...) Guilhem Lacroux works…

Dan Melchior has become an unlikely 21st century experimental music icon. As the forms, signifiers and 'experiments' of the last several decades have become increasingly codified, one naturally begins to ask the question what the term in a contemporary setting means to the listener. If the performer and the audience both know what to expect before, during and after a record or performance, can it be considered an experiment? At the start of the century, Melchior was known in NYC as being a…

For this 1968 cult italian thriller based on a script by Dario Argento, the Maestro Ennio Morricone. composed a dark and oppressive score, with experimental and avant-garde elements, that describes perfectly the brutality of the plot.

The Maestro Morricone’s Mediterranean sounds for the cult movie “Il Prefetto di Ferro” - directed by Pasquale Squitieri and starring the Italian cinema legend Giuliano Gemma - are sometimes warm, sometimes hard and sharp. With this score we can easily understand how much the Italian composer know about Sicilian folk music; the wonderful ballad “La Ballata del Prefetto Mori”, with its sad lyrics written by Ignazio Buttitta, is magistrally interpreted by one of the most important voices of …

This is the first vinyl edition of Morricone's complete soundtrack. Blue vinyl; edition of 1000. A record with very spare sound – weird wordless vocals on the main title …
