Memorie Elettroniche Sonore
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Memorie Elettroniche Sonore was the first Raffaele Pezzella’s music release, long before the Sonologyst project. The EP was recorded in the Summer of 2000, and released in the same year on Cdr by Peoplesound (London, UK). No sound was added to the original recordings to preserve the music authenticity, and the cover artwork shows the original picture of the 2000 EP.
La Gomera (Art Box + Tape and Ephemera)
* Housed in a silkscreened wooden box in a limited edition of 25 copies and sold as an exclusive mail-order item only * The idea for this release started years ago while listening to a tape from the Slowscan archive containing a radio broadcast about the Otto Mühl commune on La Gomera, Portugal. Later, while working with William Levy, a close friend of Mühl, on his 2016 LP on Slowscan Records the idea arose to combine forces for an Otto Mühl LP, documenting some of the stuff from the personal ar…

Sémi Hóra
Stunning! 75 copies on white vinyl with numbered postcard and download. In the early 80s, Exart label owner Hessel Veldman regularly went to the city of Rotterdam to visit the creative minds behind local act Rotterdans. Their base was a house that both served as a home studio to record sessions of improvised music and a dealing spot for marihuana, which means customers were ringing the doorbell all day and all night long. During a late-night session one of the Rotterdans members told Veldman abo…
Panorama
Part of a (very) loose but somewhat like minded kaleidoscope where one can trace something like a Portuguese hauntology, centred around labels like Russian Library or Prisma Sonora Records, Alexandre Centeio joins Discrepant with the surefire release of 'Panorama'. A multi-instrumentalist and sound artist based in Porto, Centeio - who is also part of Stellarays and The Murmurous Playground - delivers his second album under his own name after 2022's 'Movanta'.
Signalling a departure from the inti…
1981
Based on the live versions of their "Liederbuch" tour, which took the Welttraumforscher from Milano to London or Vienna during the last two years, they developed completely new versions of songs such as "Der Traum der Welt", "This Could Be The Greatest Love in Town" or "Alpha Beta Centauri" in the summer of 2023. These special tracks as well as two unreleased songs can be found on their new cassette, which with the title "1981" refers to the founding year of the Welttraumforscher. After 19 years…
Light/Well
*2024 stock. 50 copies limited edition* "Silence. I like silence. Silence produced by light. Sunlight that moves in slow motion through a quiet room. Islands of light, fallen through the trees, floating on the grass. With `Licht` I wanted to make music that enters your room as sunlight. Music that moves slowly through your room. Towards silence... I knew, and admired, Oberlin's work through his CD 'Writing on Water', released by Thirsty Leaves Music. I recognized the almost meditative silence in…
Stegla
Originally presented as a sound installation at the Buskerud Kunstsenter in Drammen, Norway, Joakim Blattmann’s Stegla is based on sound recordings of small movements in trees and of the insects living inside them. In the installation, these recordings were controlled in real time by bioelectrical signals from the trees themselves and then amplified through the trees via surface transducers. For this release, the recordings have been processed with electronics and tape machines to bring out the …
Spiral Insana
**2024 stock** Reprint of the 1986 LP on Torso with new artwork and additional material from the same period. Disc art is identical to Alice The Goon CD reissue. A new edition of Nurse With Wound’s 1986 LP Spiral Insana here. The album’s sprawl is one of the finest examples of Steven Stapleton’s singular sound. Working in tandem with frequent collaborator David Jackman, Spiral Insana opens with some contemplative, almost Coil-esque drones which become gradually more tortured as the record wears …
We Couldn't Agree On A Total
in Colin Potter own words: This is the 100th release by ICR. The first was the compilation LP ‘We Couldn’t Agree on a Title’ in 1981. Back in those days, I never imagined – no, wait – that’s so long ago, I really can’t remember what I imagined. I know that I did think Integrated Circuit Records was a good name for a label that was ‘integrated’ (?!) and vaguely electronic. Which is why it’s now called ICR, much less of a mouthful. But it is slightly surprising to have made it to 100 releases, alt…

Future Chorus
*200 copies limited edition* “Future Chorus is a conceptual release curated by Eleni Ikoniadou, researcher in Digital Culture and Sonic Arts at the Royal College of Art. A collection of readings, spoken word, nonlinguistic sound, poetry, MCing, cello and animal sounds were combined with machine learning processes to artificially generate a new voice speaking a nonhuman language. The vocal database and AI voice then became the raw material for five remixes by AGF, Chino Amobi, Harrga, Savvas Meta…

Plastic Alice
Earlier today I was listening to some music I’d made a few years ago. The only way I can describe it is that it sounded like the music of a dead person. I can’t explain it better than that. It sounded as if I was already dead. If I’m honest, sometimes I think I’m already dead, and that whatever this is – my life, my experiences ‘from the inside’ – is just the temporary afterglow of something else. If I suddenly began to evaporate from the feet up, it wouldn’t surprise me. It would make perfect s…
Sun Comes
Sorry For Laughing is a project by Gordon H. Whitlow who is also a member of legendary US avantgarde collective Biota, formerly Mnemonists or Mnemonist Orchestra. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avangarde, songwriting and free jazz. In 1986 Gordon H. Whitlow released a cassette under the name Sorry For Laughing: "The compositions stem from my beginning days with the avant-garde recording ensemble Biota, shortly after completion of the Bellowi…
Live In Vienna
Originally, Hastings of Malawi were Heman Pathak, David Hodes and John Grieve. They recorded their first album in one night in 1981 with no plan and no idea of what they were doing. They played drums, clarinet, synthesiser and piano but also made use of things that they found lying around the studio – old records, cookery books, telephone directories and a telephone. The recordings were played down the phone to randomly dialled numbers and the reactions added to the recording. All three had been…
Thunder Perfect Mind
2 CDs in a 6-panel Digipak. The original release of Nurse with Wound's gargantuan "Thunder Perfect Mind" in 1992 coincided with that of Current 93's homonymous genre-defining album. Legend has it that the gnostic name initially appeared to Steven Stapleton in a dream as the title of Tibet's then still nameless upcoming album. Both records feature contributions from David Tibet, Colin Potter, Rose McDowall, John Balance of Coil, Alan Trench of Orchis and Joolie Wood amongst others. The title and …
Tales From The Trenches
*250 copies limited edition* Mostly known for his work as founder, vocalist and main songwriter for The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka- Spel has long forged an equally prolific career as a solo artist given to sometimes exploring similar sonic realms as his group but clearly working at such a pace the need to channel ideas and songs in this capacity must be enforced. And just as well too, because Edward Ka-Spel is one of those rare and exceptional artists whose high workrate doesn’t betray a kee…
