Best of 2025
Reese and the Smooth Ones
Reese and the Smooth Ones was captured during the same revolutionary Paris session as Message to Our Folks, but stands apart as a two-part, 40-minute odyssey of unchained invention.
Lac Noir - La Serpente 1992
Unreleased material composed by Bernard Parmegiani in 1992
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…
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…
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…
Música Electroacústica Mexicana
*100 copies limited edition* In 1984, Música Electroacústica Mexicana was released as the third volume in the series Colección Hispano-Mexicana de Música Contemporánea, co-curated by Antonio Russek and artist Ángel Cósmos. This anthology served as a tableau of the contemporary state of Mexican electroacoustic music, featuring works by Russek, Raúl Pavón Sarrelangue, Roberto Morales Manzanares, and Vicente Rojo Cama. It marked the first-ever electroacoustic music release from Mexico. Although exp…
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 …

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…
Dragon's Return
Sold-out at the supplier. LP with obi strip, incl. booklet. Australian composer Oren Ambarchi and Norwegian guitarist Fredrik Rasten present Dragon's Return, a compelling new score for Eduard Grecner's 1967 Slovak cult film of the same name. Released via Viernulvier Records, this collaboration emerged from a live performance at the Videodroom Festival during Film Fest Ghent in October 2024, where the musicians premiered their improvisational soundtrack alongside the restored black-and-white para…
The Tree Of The Left Hand
* Edition of 250. LP housed in hand screen printed front and reverse sleeve * Arianne Churchman and Benedict Drew present The Tree Of The Left Hand on Folklore Tapes, a mystical journey through folk magic and theory fiction exploring tree folklore. Through harmonium, analogue synths and layered vocals, they create a dream world where everything is reversed, recorded at the haunted Suffolk bungalow of artist Mary Potter.
The Tree of the Left Hand begins at the Tree itself, where through mycelium …
Set
Black Truffle is thrilled to begin 2025 with a rare solo release from Konrad Sprenger, alias of elusive Berlin composer-producer-instrument builder Jörg Hiller. A prolific collaborator, Sprenger has worked extensively with icons of American minimalism such as Ellen Fullman (with whom her recorded the gloriously eccentric song album Ort) and Arnold Dreyblatt (as a core member of the Orchestra of Excited Strings since 2009), as well as releasing their music on his impeccably curated label, Choose.…
The Itself Of Itself
Huge Tip! *Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely fo…
