Best of 2025
Meditate & Destroy + The Window
Special discounted bundle. Two essential releases from Les Disques Omnison redefining the boundaries of contemporary experimental music. On one side, HWYUIOD with The Window: ambient drift and processed sounds floating somewhere between the meditative expanses of Éliane Radigue, the expansive minimalism of early Kranky releases (Labradford, Stars of the Lid),and kraut-rock heritage, where post-rock textures merge with avant-garde electronics. On the other, Barzabal & Gatier with Meditate & Destr…
The Window
200 copies. Les Disques Omnison is thrilled to announce the vinyl release of The Window by HWYUIOD, a mysterious project that has been quietly building a devoted following through digital channels and word-of-mouth in underground experimental circles. The Window represents a singular vision of ambient drift and processed sound that exists somewhere between the meditative expanses of Éliane Radigue , the expansive minimalism of early Kranky releases (Labradford, Stars of the Lid), and the textur…
Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
Commemoration Songs
Huge Tip! Commemoration Songs is a soundtrack diary from the past few years, inspired by a world where everything is being commodified at the expense of human rights and making money has become the be-all and end-all of human existence. Amidst all of this, we still commemorate the people who were instrumental in building a system that can only survive by projecting violence on us. The album consists of 8 pieces, where free jazz saxophones meet warm analog synth sequences, compelling basslines an…
A Question of Silence / Broken Mirrors
Purge.xxx unveils hidden gems of Dutch experimental cinema with the first ever release of Lodewijk de Boer & Martijn Hasebos' synthesiser soundtracks that have remained hidden in the vaults for over four decades. The centerpiece of this historic release is the collaborative score between Lodewijk de Boer (longtime collaborator of avant-garde filmmaker Frans Zwartjes) and Martijn Hasebos for Marleen Gorris' explosive 1982 debut film “A Question of Silence”, alongside de Boer's solo score for Gorr…
Shanghai Files (6 or more ring-shaped films)
Edition of 150 copies. The journey from site-specific environmental installation to studio composition rarely produces such compelling results as Massimo Toniutti's Shanghai Files (6 or more ring-shaped films), the inaugural release from Darren Tate's newly founded Fungal Editions. This remarkable work traces its origins back to 2007, when Toniutti created an environmental piece consisting of six pre-recorded sequences of different lengths, each looping on its own speaker suspended from a centur…
Lacinia
Returning to Die Schachtel with his forth full-length with the label, the Genoa born, Bologna based, guitarist and electroacoustic composer, Stefano Pilia, delivers “Lacinia”, a new, immersive cycle of compositions, delving deeper into the realm of metaphysical, spiritual, and divine meaning, weaving astounding arrangements of sonority from a palette of synths, strings, brass, organ, various electroacoustic instruments, and percussion. Resting at a refined intersection of the acoustic and electr…
Nightclouds
Inspired by minimalistic icon La Monte Young and guitarist Allan Holdsworth, Nightclouds is a powerful collection of jazz pieces for solo pipe organ. Over long improvisation and shorter compositions, Swedish composer and installation artist Ellen Arkbro employs her usually epic chord structures and adds in a more self-reflective tone than previously.
Forefowk, Mind Me
The record is largely sung in Scots language, one of Scotland’s three official languages along with Gaelic and English. “Scots gives me a way of expressing myself which is connected directly with the landscapes I love. It brings the songs alive and it is a fascinating language. The name of the record is in Scots - Forefowk means the people who came before, or ancestors. When we say ‘mind me,’ we can mean a few things- remind, remember, watch over or care for me. The record explores how tradition…

Hiraeth
“Hiraeth,” the second collaborative album by Sofie Birch and Antonina Nowacka, explores longing for the intangible. Inspired by Welsh “hiraeth,” the duo’s acoustic improvisations—recorded in Sokołowsko and Copenhagen—prioritize vulnerability, nature, and analog warmth, crafting music that feels alive and deeply connected.
Sen’nyū
**Glass-mastered CD housed in a 140 x 140 x 6mm customised greyboard CD case, obi, 12pp booklet, gold-foil letterpress, offset printed, full colour on premium matt paper** In the final month of 2024, Meitei arrived in Beppu, a city long steeped in vapor, myth, and mineral memory. Invited to create onsen (hot spring) ambient music commemorating Beppu’s 100th anniversary, he immersed himself in the city’s geothermal psychogeography, where sound rises from the ground and time clings to mist. Known …
White Phosphorus (Chris Connelly plays Throbbing Gristle)
Huge Tip! Industrial music legend Chris Connelly returns to his first love with White Phosphorus (Chris Connelly plays Throbbing Gristle), a suitably uncompromising homage to the "random, tense, scary & compulsively fascinating" phase of industrial music's catalysers and ur-agitators. Having carved a twisted career with behemoths Ministry and Revolting Cocks over the past 40 years, starting life with the formidable Fini Tribe and collaborating with disparate characters such as Killing Joke, Caba…

Lebensglut
Super Tip! Following Brannten Schnüre's definitive trilogy conclusion, Quirlschlängle continues its exploration of Central European cultural archaeology with Lebensglut (Life's Glow), a split album that examines four poets through remarkably different methodologies: Karl Wolfskehl, Stefan George, and Georg Trakl, all active in the early 20th century, alongside Julius Sturm, who had been active a century earlier and can be regarded as an early pioneer of Symbolist expression. Like Brannten Schnü…
Landschaft aus Tränen
The conclusion of a trilogy often reveals as much about artistic evolution as it does about thematic resolution. With “Landschaft aus Tränen”, Brannten Schnüre complete their three-album psychological cycle that began with 2019's “Erinnerungen an Gesichter”, marking both a compositional apex and a deliberate terminus for the project itself. Moving away from their signature “surreal folkcollage” approach, this represents Brannten Schnüre's most structured and emotionally resolved statement to dat…
