Reissues
Music Has The Right To Children
Tip! This is pure machine soul, reminiscent of some forgotten Japanese animation soundtrack or a rusting Commodore 64 just about to give up the ghost. Alternating broadly sketched works with minute-long vignettes (the latter of which comprise several of the best tracks on the album), 'Music Has the Right to Children' by Boards Of Canada was easily the best electronic release of 1998. 2LP Gatefold Vinyl - 140 gram pressing cut from original metalwork. Includes Skam braille sticker and transparen…
First Album
Tip! Limited edition of 555 copies on red vinyl with gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeves and numbered card. Debut album by the harsh-industrial project of Dirk Ivens originally released in 1990 by Body Records (Antler-Subway). Just after leaving The Klinik, Dirk focused to develop his own ideas with Dive creating a perfect melting between early industrial and noise with minimal electronics and Belgian Electronic Body Music. This first work is considered as groundbreaking and highly influentia…
Orang-Utan
Following his success with “Blow Up,” the once-weekly favorite bassist Isao Suzuki returns with his fourth release under the Three Blind Mice label. The heavy, groovy sound he crafts alongside the eccentric talent Kenji Mori remains timeless and undiminished by the years.
Girl Talk
Girl Talk completes the "trilogy" of great records that started with Midnight Sugar and Misty, Girl Talk solidified Tsuyoshi Yamamoto's reputation as Japan's premier jazz pianist. Though he would continue to tour and record for Takeshi "Tee" Fujii more than a decade, Girl Talk became the pinnacle of his career. This trio of classic LPs together are a benchmark in Japanese jazz records in particular and recording engineering in general. As usual, master recordist Yoshihiko Kannari worked with Yam…
Mr. Wonderful
At the age of 14, Ayako Hosokawa was already performing in the American military clubs in Japan, picking up the English language by singing international pop songs of that time. Now, she represents feeling and soul within her songs, no matter whether she sings in English or Japanese. After her marriage, she moved to the United States and was discovered and sponsored by Earl "Fatha" Hines. She found enthusiastic fans touring San Francisco, Las Vegas, Montreal and lots of places in California, per…
H'art Songs
Moondog singing Moondog? Really! even goodness knows, Moondog doesn't sing a song; he shows you how it goes."
La Bouche / Cilaos
100 copies. Soundtracks from the films by Camilo Restrepo: Cilaos by Christine Salem and La Bouche by Mohamed “Diable Rouge” Bangoura. Carried by the spell-binding rhythm of the maloya, a ritual chant from Reunion Island, Cilaos, starring Christine Salem, explores the deep and murky ties that bind the dead and the living. La Bouche is an experimental musical featuring Guinean percussion master Mohamed Bangoura, loosely based on his own story. The two films form an informal duet, with both soundt…
Great Doubt
*Repress* “Great Doubt” is the third full length LP by Danish composer Astrid Sonne. Throughout her acclaimed discography, Astrid Sonne has been carefully crafting different moods through electronic and acoustic instrumental endeavours. On “Great Doubt” this skill is refined, now with the distinct addition of the composer's own vocal in front. The tone of each track is unmistakably Sonne’s, structured around contrasts through an impeccable sense of timing. Lyrics on the album are sparse, merely …
Moroccan Electroacoustic Music 1972-74
Huge Tip! Composer Ahmed Essyad was born in Salé, Morocco, in 1938. After studying music at the Rabat Conservatoire (Morocco) he moved to Paris in 1962, where he became a student of Max Deutsch and, later, his assistant. Trained in the avant-garde practices of Western musical composition, he also claimed the Amazigh folk music of Morocco as a fundamental source of inspiration for his work. In 1965, he was already incorporating elements of oral tradition in his work so as to question the language…

Born Again Pagans
Triple LP edition, black vinyl. Infinite Fog are delighted to present another piece of the intriguing Coil puzzle. In the mid 1990s the core team of John Balance and Peter Christopherson were continuing their exploration of the outer reaches of electronic sound production as exemplified by the "Born Again Pagans" release, originally an EP only, featuring both the hugely danceable "Protection" smash which had Danny Hyde's influence writ in large letters all over it, as well as the first outings o…
Archeology // Archeologia
Biiiiiiiig Tip! "It has taken me over 50 years to write these words. Since my initial successes in the 1970’s many have urged me to “release” unpublished works from the same period, pieces that featured the VCS3 synths or the amazing Serge (which I regret not having used enough) or pieces featuring soundscapes from my classic environmental composition style. For reasons of persistence and empathy, Lawrence English at Room 40 was the most persuasive; now, nearly 3 years after our agreement, a new…
Blind Baby Has It's Mothers Eyes
Massive free-from psych from the Japanese cult band, three long tracks almost approaching 55 minutes in pure controlled chaos ! Formed by band leader Mizutani Takashi, their music remained remarkably familiar over the years, and is best described as high volume, raw lo-fi repetitive feedback-drenched guitar noise fests with nods in the direction of the Velvet Underground and Blues Creation.
Nelson Angelo E Joyce
In 1972, Joyce and Nelson recorded the LP Nelson Angelo e Joyce, her only professional recording between 1971 and 1975. Sophisticated in its simplistic sound, the album explores Joyce’s tender voice and Angelo’s melancholic mantra-shaped melodies. The duo fuse bossa nova and acoustic psychedelic rock in arrangements that incorporate nature sounds and ritual drumming. The opening track stands out with its angular chord changes and pretty melody, a perfect start. They trade tunes, Joyce sings Hote…
Magical Power
One of truly iconic figures in the Japanese alternative rock scene ever! Originally released in 1973 this was Magical Power Maco’s highly visionary debut album. An eccentric mix of psyche, folk, kraut elements wisely filtered with Oriental sensibility.
Mosaics; Pieces of Stone
The sole album from male-female duo Jade Stone & Luv is a lost gem from the heart of the psychedelic 1970s. A long-time cult item and highly praised in the Acid Archives book. This reissue includes a bonus track, extensive liner notes and photos. 600 copies limited edition – multicolored vinyl. Composed and self-produced in Nashville, Mosaics; Pieces of Stone went unnoticed by the music industry upon release. While almost unknown outside specialist circles, Mosaics has been an underground cult f…

New limited edition pressing on multi-colored vinyl. Recorded live to tape in the band’s countryside music workshop, these mind-melting improvisations travel beyond time and space through the magical unknown, a manifestation of timeless organic music and free creation.
