Stars of the Wayside
On Stars of the Wayside, Twilight Sequence traps an evening in Sherborne’s The Beat and Track: Matthew J Saunders threading slow‑mutating loops, semi‑modular pulses and live sampling through the racks, turning a tiny shop into a softly glowing synth observatory.
Sun Angle
On Sun Angle, Solar 76 folds 90s tech‑ and deep‑house DNA into a lucid, slow‑burn vision of the future we never got: warm, utopian machine music that imagines a socially and ecologically advanced 2020s and then quietly scores it.
Patterns in Condensate
On Patterns in Condensate, Phexioenesystems turns Peter Blasser’s Plumbutter and a humble JV‑1010 into a quietly radical study of “meaningless sound,” letting stressed circuits, presets and failed window seals sketch their own accidental poetry.
Kings & Queens
*50 copies limited edition* 'Kings and Queens' is a collaborative EP by the drone/ambient artist .foundation (Jake Carter) and cellist/ambient composer Henrik Meierkord. The record blends deep drone textures, granular synthesis, field recordings, and cello and violin – both processed as natural – into a slowly unfolding, hypnotic journey that moves between vast ambient soundscapes and intimate, emotive strings.
.foundation (pronounced just "foundation") is an ambient, drone, and soundscape proje…
Ianos
*100 copies limited edition* Ianos takes as its starting point the concept of duality as it is expressed through life and death, endings and beginnings. It marks another milestone collaboration between the artists Nhung Nguyen (aka Sound Awakener) and Maria Papadomanolaki (aka Dalot) who spent most of 2023 exchanging ideas, sculpting, forming and finalising the seven compositions in the album. As with previous releases, the two artists draw from their own personal experiences/memories and how th…
Canals
*300 copies limited edition* Shaped from fragile, emotionally charged piano motifs that distort, disappear and transform into dense, cinematic textures, 'Canals' is a debut that's finely matured, the result of years of friendship and growth. Italian artist Vanja Sturno and Montréal-based Belgian-Spanish composer Pablo Geeraert (aka Sanea Ima) have worked together extensively on various projects up until now, but 'Canals' is their first official release as a duo. Having both studied music academi…
Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn
*150 copies limited edition* FUMU christens the promising new label Return To Zero (RTZ) with Funeral Rites on Planet Saturn, the surrendering sophomore album from Nigerian artist, self-described “negro-producer”, hedonist, and iconoclast LINTD. With production collaboration from Porter Brook and features from Samrai (Swing Ting), Porter Brook, Sam Scott Francis (GOMID), Rizmi, and Imani Jendai. LINTD’s work emerges as a call and response between the tender, dynamic sounds of Black music across …
Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane
The music on this record is a reflection of journeys and travel. The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and Its impressions, rituals, superstitions-the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and…
Hotel Infinito
**Contains metal plate (metal gong), artwork, pvc transparent folder, poster and stickers** Hotel Infinito is the new project by Missing Ear, Italian experimental drummer and sound designer based in Milan whose practice investigates listening as an embodied, spatial mode of perception. The new release continues his exploration of active listening as a sensorial and social act, confronting sonic overstimulation not as background noise but as a defining condition of contemporary life.
Conceived in…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
Omen Of The End
This autumn brings Omen of the End, where Regen Graves (Italian metal musician, mostly known for his work in Abysmal Grief) and Koldvoid unite to forge the darkest ambient split album possible. From the abyss, Regen Graves weaves hallucinatory synth incantations in the lineage of the vintage era of dark ambient, while Koldvoid's cinematic dread drifts like a phantom through haunted valleys of dream and decay.
Their communion becomes Omen of the End, a split album that opens a rift where time dis…
Canopies + Cathedrals
Canopies : A roof-like covering of trees enclosing a large or wide natural space. Cathedral : ;Large edifice usually of stone, enclosing space reserved for spiritual contemplation. Vertical structures that strive for light and open spaces, defying gravity, and reason.
A Tarkosvsky-esque transcendence of spirit and nature, time imprinted on an intertwining of sap and stone, branch and pillar, column, and trunk.
This third MPM release is co-written by Phil and Jackson Mouldycliff, with studio trea…
Widdershins
A new CD of a live performance by these two talented improvisers. The interplay between them is, to use a cliche, telepathic. Whilst it's often difficult to figure out who is doing what, the gelling of the sounds is perfect, going from meditative to intense, smooth to harsh (but not abrasive). Improvisation at it's best - highly recommended! REVIEW by Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly : The biggest surprise here is not the music but the label. I would expect such fine talents in improvised music to f…
A Bridge To Further Realms
2026 stock A sound. A vision. A key. Flames Of Genesis open the portal to another world, another dimension and beyond with Interstellar Transmigration Part I: A Bridge To Further Realms. The voyage is translated through cold ethereal cinematic dark ambient soundscapes - each piece telling a part of the story, conveying the experiences of the journeys across vast distances, crossing the border between what is known and unknown, embracing the mysteries and the wonders, transcending all limits and …

Ambienti Elettroacustici
Harmograph is a project by and with Matteo Scaioli. He summarized his latest research on sound by building various electromechanical instruments, one of which he called the "Harmograph", which gives the name to his whole project. Harmograph is basically a gong remodeled with a unique sound. Scaioli blends the sound of the Harmograph with other self-made instruments including Melodon's Voice, Phonograph Tape, Dhin "Tan" Pathè, and finally his favorite synth: the Prophet 5. Matteo Scaioli - being …
Alla Sorrentina
Snake De, a potential reference to Snake II, the snake game preinstalled on our mobile phones in the late 1990s, seals the musical meeting of Maxime Canelli and Aymeric Chaslerie. The former made his mark with Carton, an unstable, occasionally sung synth-pop project, while the latter—whose background leans more toward electricity, notably as guitarist for Room 204 and Papaye—is endowed with an insatiable musical curiosity, which he has been satisfying since 2002 by co- running the Kythibong labe…
In A Quiet Of A Short Winter, Every Hidden Thing Finds A Voice Sharper Than Memory
*100 copies limited edition* Six touching tracks that, starting from quiet ambient atmospheres, initially soft, tenuous, and crepuscular, gradually seem to soar... ascending towards celestial spaces, revealing ever-wider and brighter landscapes below, ever-more distant horizons, ever-more infinite spaces...
Highly evocative progressions, guided by sober and delicate melodies and driving, pulsating bass lines, wonderfully deep (best enjoyed with a good stereo system to truly appreciate them), the…
Gigi Masin Presents: An Apple A Day You Die Anyway
*100 copies limited edition* "Music, like love, surprises you, makes your heart race, gives you new eyes with which to look at yourself in the mirror..." - Gigi Masin
With an exclusive presentation by Gigi Masin, Up To 23 release their second album, now with an expanded three-member lineup following the permanent addition of Enrico Coniglio alongside founder members Marco Buffetti and Francesco Fincato. The album draws inspiration from the 1980s, evoking atmospheres reminiscent of sci-fi soundtr…
Wir gingen durch leere Stunden
Schatterau’s third album, »Wir gingen durch leere Stunden« (We went through empty hours), sees the German duo blossoms with beauty and sophistication through a broad creative language. This opus, presented in the form of vivid auditory tableaux vivants, explores the topography of memory as a landscape in constant motion – full of loops, feedbacks, and mirage-like distortions. Sounds climbing like vines over old walls, concealing details only to reveal new ones. Some pieces feel like fragments of…
