Days As Echoes
Bomb! Estonian multi-instrumentalist Misha Panfilov returns with Days As Echoes, a sophomore release that channels the expansive spirit of Krautrock through the lens of contemporary ambient and spiritual jazz. Part of Panfilov's ever-expanding musical universe, the Misha Panfilov Sound Combo delivers six compositions that function as both individual meditations and a cohesive sonic narrative about hope, journey, and human connection. Drawing from an impossibly diverse palette that includes Ethio…
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…

Lapsikuninkaan Fanfaari
Juho Toivonen's third album navigates memory's fluid terrain through off-key piano, tape loops, and spectral melodies. Featuring Ramo Sinnemäki's trumpet, this Nordic ambient masterwork recalls Basinski while exploring childhood fragments and imagined futures. Pure Scandinavian melancholy—essential contemporary ambient.
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.
Spilla
Black Truffle is thrilled to announce Spilla, the second album from Nantes-based Ensemble Nist-Nah, 48 minutes of music for Gamelan, drum kits, wood and metal percussion instruments, and plucked strings that will surely count as one of the most electrifying records you hear this year. Founded by the Australian drummer/percussionist Will Guthrie in 2019, continuing the explorations begun in solo form on Nist-Nah (Black Truffle, 2020), the ensemble (eight or nine core members with occasional guest…
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…
Trabant II
Four decades after their formation in the underground tunnels of Communist Hungary, Trabant return with Trabant 2, a stunning continuation of one of experimental music's most remarkable and unlikely stories. Following the revelatory impact of their debut compilation, this second volume plunges deeper into the band's vast archive of clandestine recordings, unveiling another chapter of music that was never meant to see the light of day. Born from the anti-authoritarian underground of 1980s Hungary…
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…
Pareidolia

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…
Paese Sotto Inchiesta
Edition of 400. In the twilight of the 1960s, as Italian cinema reached new creative heights, a parallel universe of musical experimentation was quietly flourishing in the studios of Rome and Milan. The production of soundtracks for both major and minor Italian films had given birth to another business venture - one that proved less profitable but infinitely more creative and liberated from client constraints: the composition of music libraries. Now, Musica Per Immagini presents the first reissu…
Static Disposal
Legendary 1976 Private Press Rarity Documents Oklahoma's most uncompromising Proto-Punk visionaries, this trio produced art-damaged outsider rock influenced by Stooges, Beefheart, and Velvet Underground
