See Through
Limited edition of 300 copies. White/Clear splatter vinyl, housed in a heavyweight 350gsm, matte-finished sleeve. See Through is a new collaboration between Aidan Baker (Nadja), Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, Mara, Sige Records) and renowned percussionist Jon Mueller. "The project was brought to life through Baker exploring textural rhythms created by sampling small, sharp and abrupt sounds on the electric guitar and then sequencing them in a drum machine to form the bedrock of the tracks. Mueller th…
Three Knocks
**Edition of 400 copies pressed on Silver vinyl** Yeah that's what we’re talking about; supremely dank, occult dark ambient and submerged black metal atmospheres from Jim Mroz aka Lussuria, properly harrowing recordings pierced by occasional shafts of blinding light and choral arrangements that take us to exceptionally weird places. Huge recommendation If you’re into anything from Hildur Guðnadóttir’s isolationist soundscapes to Kevin Drumm or Thomas Köner's frostbitten classics.On the forebodin…
La Plage
* Last Copies* Invisibilia, the new Canti Magnetici serie curated by Andrea Penso, is proud to present a composition by Michèle Bokanowski - one of the most poetic composers in the european avantgarde music scene - released for the first time on vinyl. Unpublished until today, this piece was created as a soundtrack to the short film "La Plage" (1992), directed by renowned experimental filmmaker Patrick Bokanowski, husband of Michèle. La Plage is probably Bokanowski's less 'concrete' composition.…
Gold Fiction Loop Garden
Field Records present the first vinyl edition of John Elliott's previously cassette-only album titled 'Gold Fiction Loop Garden' from 2016. Aside from curating the Spectrum Spools imprint and taking part in the bands Emeralds, Organic Dial, and Outer Space, Elliott has put out two absorbing solo albums over the last ten years. His solo works as Imaginary Softwoods fit in the tradition of kosmische greats without ever delving into pastiche. This third album from Elliott features a collection of s…
Quiet Ends
The penumbra diffuses mysterious textures and a melancholic hypnotic atmosphere conductive to introspection. Another absolutely gorgeous recording from Timo van Luijk
Neptune
The wondrous, expansive and meditative music of Luis Paniagua is now available again with the reissue of his 1987 album, 'Neptuno'. Originally released on the cult El Cometa de Madrid label - itself a sub label of Grabaciones Accidentales (Finas Africae / Suso Saiz / Javier Bergia) - the album is another is the canon of exploratory new age, world and ambient recordings that came out of Spain during the formative period as the country returned to democracy. Born in Madrid, in 1957, his first asso…
Oak House
**200 copies** Behind Oak House stands mysterious D. Carfagna, who created these very effective Ambient tiny jewels with a guitar and a 4-track recorder in a long razed house in midtown Kansas City, Missouri back in 1994-1997. Spacious guitar drones like a smooth blanket that make you feel comfortable and relax. Comes as a limited edition digipack featuring artwork by the author himself.
A New Beginning
**100 copies, 2019 stock** Recorded in 2012, 'A New Beginning' documents the latest phase of the ongoing collaboration between Celestino and Jams P Valentine, a partnership that also yielded 2009’s 'Sky Burials'. The compositions on this Secret Courts album were created through a staggered, elastic process, with Celestino weaving sonic backcloths on which Valentine could embroider a response. The production is conversational and complementary, but yields a panoramically conceived sound world – t…
Protector’s Tea
**Archival package, with old-style sleeve and insert edition of 400** Protector’s Tea is the debut solo LP from Gabe Celestino, a native of the Olympic Peninsula. Despite being largely recorded in isolation over the last year with minimal gear in the drab, alienating confines of an apartment building located in the midst of an industrial zone on the outskirts of Seoul, South Korea, Celestino was nevertheless able to re-imagine his dreary living quarters into a sacred space through the acts of wa…
Sundown
**300 copies** Recorded over a six year period, Sabbatical’s 'Sundown' draws inspiration in minimal, post-minimal and Fourth World composers such as Alvin Curran, Jon Hassell, and Dan Morehouse. 'The album was produced with a large array of instruments, including autoharp, omnichord, melodica, various synthesizers, tape delay, bass guitar, and toy piano, but with each note these instruments make carefully folded into another. Reflecting its long conception, every track is exquisitely paced throu…
Synthesis
** Edition of 250. Corners slightly bumped ** Love All Day is proud to present a limited double LP reissue of a one of a kind, completely original collection of songs created by two American expatriates living in London in 1980. Recorded in their living room on a Teac tape machine, Synthesis was entirely composed and performed on a mail order Serge synthesizer kit that Planetary Peace (the husband and wife duo of Will and Kalima Sawyer) had built themselves. Originally dubbed in a minuscule cass…
Traveller
**250 copies** Love All Day follows up last year’s Planetary Peace reissue with Warren Sampson’s little-known ambient masterpiece 'Traveller'. Hailing from Minnesota and inspired by the early work of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, Sampson infused their compositional modes with a self-effacing and distinctly Upper Midwest approach that is equal parts isolated and expansive. 'Traveller' was recorded in a bedroom closet studio on a four-track TEAC reel-to-reel between the late 1970s through the mid 198…
Air Example
**150 copies** Sublime new full length album by Norm Chambers, his second for Love All Day following the 2012 cassette release 'Blue Grotto', which was issued under his Panabrite moniker. One of the most consistently original and creative composers working in electronic music today, 'Air Example' pulses with all of the lovely melodies and unexpected turns we’ve come to expect of him. The fruit of two years labor, these twelve works represent a disparate group of material that somehow manages to …
The Devastation Chant
**100 copies** Another rare item originally published on a single-sided lathe cut record (8 copies only!) returns to the light. Dirk Serries' 'The Devastation Chant' was part of the "8+8" series released by 13 back in 2015, and since then has become quite a rarity. This time it is re-released as a limited edition 10" vinyl record coming in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, with the flipside offering an unreleased piece culled from the same sessions. As in the best Serries / Vidna Obmana / Fear Falls Bur…
Goshen
The Pitchshifters is a project by Hideto Aso from Japan. This is his second release on Meeuw Muzak and as usual his contributions were culled from old and scarce self-released CD-R editions. Wonderful naive and outstanding synth music on the first side with some more dreamy electroacoustic experiments on the flip. Immerse yourself in the delicate sound of The Pitchshifters and yours is the reward.
Meeting of Waters
** 300 copies ** Back in 2017 the unassuming Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Josiah Steinbrick released his first collection of solo pieces and we’ve been listening to it compulsively since then. Given that its initial release was only in North America, both on cassette with Leaving Records and in an extremely limited vinyl self-release via Banana Editions, we felt that this meticulously crafted, essential work righteously deserved to get a proper spin in Europe too! "Meetin…
How Deep Is Our Love?
** 525 copies ** Paul Régimbeau, aka Mondkopf, joins the Hands in the Dark ranks with a new album, "How Deep Is Our Love?". For more than a decade now the prolific Parisian producer hasn’t ceased to surprise us with his compositions, constantly treading new ground with artistic bravery and curiosity. At times extreme, at other times méditative and always complex, his music is never easy-access. In recent years his work has taken a clear turn towards a more ambient, intimate, less abrasive style.…
EEEOOOSSS
**300 copies in special packaging** EEEOOOSSS is the encounter between three instruments, each one tuned according to a different tuning system. This meeting was conceived and designed over a period of years but only once took place in the Church of S. Giusto, Volterra, Italy, during the night of the 12th of August, 2018, in the nave, the transepts and the choir. Each of the three temperaments embodies specific characteristics, amplified by the instrument assigned to play it. The dark (almost pu…
Beyond All Defects: Mount Meru Anthology Series Vol. 1
Clear vinyl; Edition of 500.
Although Sir Richard Bishop (SRB) and W. David Oliphant (WDO) worked together periodically in the '80s through Sun City Girls and Maybe Mental,
they never set out to simply work together as a duo. Fast forward to
2011, SRB, feeling the need to temporarily step out of his solo guitar
zone, approached WDO with the idea of this joint collaboration... Beyond All Defects was composed and recorded live in the studio in Phoenix, Arizona in December of 2011 (remastered …
Tiny Crabs of Deep Waters
** 300 copies 180gr vinyl, with booklet ** Musiques Electroniques Actuelles presents a due reissue of NSRD founder's timeless work released for the first time in 2000 in Latvia. Hardijs Ledinš's timeless solo effort, "Tiny Crabs of Deep Waters" - originally a CD only release put out by Seque and Alises Ieraksti - saw him offering his own deep and transcendent take on the ambient genre, with an immersive and esoteric offering complete with jazz bass, found sounds, neo-classical flourishes and wel…
