Kakashi
*2025 much needed repress!* A wonderful, rare record wrapped in a mysterious yet playful ambiance. Or maybe it’s just the impression that the Japanese language often gives me. ‘Suiren’ is an odd jazz-fusion-wave tune that sounds like its boiling, waiting to burst but somehow manages to stay in control. Like the nervous tick of a leg fidgeting under the table of a restaurant on a first date.Yasuaki Shimizu is a Japanese composer, producer and saxophone player. He worked with Ryuchi Sakimoto on ce…
Centrafrique - Central Africa
A long-time best-seller of the MEG-AIMP collection and long out of print, this album of sanza music recorded among the Gbaya people of the Central African Republic by ethnomusicologist Vincent Dehoux was originally released on CD in 1993. It is now being reissued to coincide with the exhibition Afrosonica - Soundscapes. It features a selection of 'songs for thought': an intimate repertoire conducive to introspection, accompanied by the repetitive, meditative sound of lamellaphones.
Roots Of Empathy
The Hotel is proud to present its first release – Roots of Empathy, the debut album from London artist Henry Cyer. Written and recorded over the span of four years, the project manifests itself as an album of songs, a collection of photographs and a series of music videos. Roots of Empathy explores fear as an entity – both personal and impersonal, alien and familiar, real and dreamlike. The album pulls the listener into a mystical otherworld, where the self is dissolved and projected through a m…

Killing Time
Massacre was a guitar trio formed by Fred Frith, who moved to New York after the break-up of Henry Cow, with Bill Laswell (b) and Fred Marr (dr). The album was greeted with surprise and acclaim at the time as the work that steered Frith towards an aggressive, sharp-edged sound based on improvisation. The trio disbanded after one album and reformed in 1998, replacing Charles Hayward on drums, and this time the album is reissued at the correct pitch, as intended by the artist, after being released…
The Four Louies
Bill Orcutt’s The Four Louies is a daring and inventive hybrid, merging two iconic pillars of 20th-century organ-driven music—The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie” and Steve Reich’s “Four Organs”—into a single, genre-defying composition. Through meticulous digital cut-ups, looping, and live transcriptions, Orcutt transforms these classics into a new work that is as much a celebration of raw garage rock energy as it is a study in minimalist structure and repetition
The Anxiety Of Symmetry
Bill Orcutt’s "The Anxiety of Symmetry" is the final chapter in his “counting” trilogy, blending six samples of female voices singing scale degrees into hypnotic, melodic computer music. The result is a mesmerizing, trance-like journey between noise and harmony
A Mechanical Joey
