Cucumber Sandwich
* In process of stocking. 70 copies limited edition * Originally released on CDR by Music Mundane in 2007. Recorded at home in Nottingham in 1992. Stewart Walden: Casio SA10
Free noise improvisation from the beginning to the end, if it's even ever ending. The sound continues its journey somewhere when the cassette stops. Broken melodies, noises and strange sounds coding the mind while the brains think it's already sleeping. Originally recorded to C90 cassette, but later both sides mixed together…
Bald Eagle Over Food City
* Edition of 250. In process of stocking * Bald Eagle Over Food City is a blurry zoomed-in photograph of a national bird soaring over a grocery store parking lot. It is an album of thirteen failed portraits attempting to distill the impossible essence of a place that is repeatedly deformed by displacement and extraction, quietly made invisible by milltown charm. Bromp Treb is the solo project of noisemaker and filmmaker Neil ‘Cloaca’ Young, who has been performing and producing small-run release…
Ladder Of Shadows
Tip! * 6-panel digisleeve (coated 350gms cardboard) * Since 2005, Chicago-based experimentalists Haptic have explored the intersection between composition and improvisation in concerts, site-specific installations, and critically acclaimed recordings. Often engaging in ambitious cross-genre collaborations, Haptic has worked closely with composers such as Michael Pisaro-Liu and Olivia Block and musicians such as Tony Buck (The Necks) and Tim Barnes (Text of Light), as well as with dancers, filmma…
Acht Gesänge Der Schwarzen Hunde
*In process of stocking* 'When in 2006 our Zonic Spezial "Voltage. Power. Resistance. Magnetic Tape Underground GDR 1979-1990" was published in cooperation with Verbrecher Verlag and the legendary label ZickZack, there was some amazement. Especially when the enclosed CDs were listened to from a Western perspective. Part of this weird Kassettentäter-Ost potpourri of swirling post-punk variety, which Bert Papenfuß, Bo Kondren, Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok compiled with well-founded interpretive…
Visions Of Audio
*In process of stocking* The final installment of the electronic fusion projects that Walter Bachauer concocted for Klaus Schulze’s Innovative Communication label, Visions of Audio delves further into minimalist musique concrete, extending themes developed on Memorymetropolis in drawing on non-European vocal chants, here applied in dissociative layers. The diverse, complex arrangements include the symphonic synths of ‘Promised Land’ and the war-mode Sensurround of ‘1922 In Baku,’ as well as the …
Sounds
Temporary Super Offer! Born in San Francisco in 1927 Samuel Lloyd Spence is a peculiar piece in the komplicated krautrock puzzle. Throughout the mid 60s Spence kept his hand in popular music via his US connections. His original roots playing clarinet and sax in Californian swing bands had lead to paid work sending compositions to commercial Hollywood groups which lead to a part time interest in electronic instruments and the development of the synthesiser. To balance his classical composition Sp…
The New Backwards
*2022 repress. It's in my blood edition. With slipmat. Picture LPs. Unique limited edition!!* "The New Backwards" was conceived by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson in 2007, revisiting stray tracks which hadn't seemed to gel with the material he had chosen for the more somber "Ape of Naples" from 2005, Coil's initial posthumous release, a sort of requiem and a kiss-goodbye to his then recently deceased partner John Balance. Significantly different to its sister release, this album collects the brill…

Deforms The Unborn
*66 copies limited edition* 'Portraying the sensation of being possessed by a demon, Zepar to be exact, Deforms the Unborn was a live-performance by Xiu Xiu at the Guggenheim museum. After researching multiple first hand accounts of demonic possession, the material that came out of all of that is basically an auditory version of a Lovecraft story. You are never quite sure what is real and what isn't, there is this constant abrasive feeling of paranoia and dread lingering in the background, stran…
I N T E R C O N E X I O N
Aurora Central presents I N T E R C O N E X I O N, a collaboration between Concepción Huerta and Milena Pafundi. First edition in blue cassette tapes, with handmade book of photography. QR codes for downloading video documentation of a live performance are also included.
Surface Ego
*In process of stocking* Second Sleep presents Surface Ego by Lettera 22. Lettera 22 a project from Riccardo Mazza and Matteo Castro wich borns in the deep north east of Italy. Influenced by the contest of their everyday living in a place compressed between countries, mountains and factories, their sight points directly to men, machines, fields. Really dinamic structures composed by tape loops, field recordings and feedbacks are destroyed by a violent muscular manipulation. What was concrete b…
Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil
A totally unexpected and absorbing side of electro-acoustic-jazz and dark electronics from this new 8 piece ensemble; reaching into bass depths and pop dimensions via microscopic miniature sounds and widescreen vistas. A huge recommendation if you’re into Supersilent, Arve Henriksen, Deathprod, Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, Luigi Nono, Rashad Becker!
The Long Count
Modern Love debut from Delia Beatriz aka Debit; a study of Mayan wind instruments from the late post classical period, rebuilt as synth instruments and deployed with ultimate heft and wooooze.
Cervorum Simulacra
*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Ferns Recordings presents Cervorum Simulacra by Small Cruel Party. The CD contains two live performances: the first one, "Cervorum Simulacra"- recorded in Paris in 2008 - was only released as a lathe-cut LP in a very small edition of 30 copies. The second piece, "Pour Eric S.-W." - recorded at Radio KSER in Washington, 1992 - has never been released before.
Diptych
*150 copies limited edition* It’s not easy to summarize any band whose career has stretched over two decades. In the case of The Growing Concern, though, it’s all in the name: since 2001, the core duo of Kevin Doria and Joe DeNardo have been making vibrating, explorative experimental music that is in a forever state of evolution. In that time, Growing have amassed a hard-to-define and influential body of work, and “Diptych,” out April 30th on Ethan Miller’s Silver Current Records, sees the band …
Citycraze//Dweebcity
*50 copies limited edition* Following releases on Warm Gospel Tapes and Ingrown Records, J Hamilton Isaacs continues on his synthesizing quest to encapsulate the universe around him in his modular rig. This release is comprised of two side-long compositions of precise, drifting modular electronics. As the pieces build, sweep, fluctuate, dissolve and begin again, the sound itself seems wholly alive, breathing and wandering with the listener.
I Guess This Is Fine
*50 copies limited edition* Lean, experimental soundscapes cobbled together from field recordings, prepared guitar snippets and synthesizer learning meant to walk the line between mania and having a good time. All music composed, improvised and recorded by Sean Devlin.
Forbidden China
A pre-lock down project by Laurent Kink Gong Jeanneau, given a new impetus whist home bound in 2020/21. Starting with a detuned Santur (Persian dulcimer) and then expanding the concept and playing techniques to various detuned acoustic guitars, first by raising 2 or 3 strings above the neck whilst hitting them with chinese chopsticks. With the worldwide lock down of 2020 Laurent took this tecnique to its logical conclusion, by banging everything percussive with strings and exploring the various …
