Hope Is The Sister Of Despair
2024 repress. In 2013, Niko Tzoumanis released ‘Hope Is The Sister Of Despair’ on limited CD, issued here on vinyl (2xLP) with 4 previously unreleased tracks. The album was made following the end of a relationship and taps into a rich vein of sequencer romanticism, from Tangerine Dream-obsessed-‘Berlin School’ daydreamers to the whole nebula of music inspired by Warp’s Artificial Intelligence series.
It also looks forward, prefiguring the return today, in troubled times, to the comforting inner…

Treasure Of Light
*300 copies limited edition* "It is with great emotion that I want to tell you about my wonderful collaboration with Martyn Bates, one of the most beautiful voices in the current scene. Speaking of him, Vittore Baroni once wrote: "he could sing the phone book". I agree. And it is a voice that is absolutely functional to the spring atmosphere that I have tried to embed in this album. That early spring that makes the first buds and the still cold morning mists shine together. That "treasure of lig…

Quattro dialoghi fuori campo
*2024 stock. 70 copies limited edition* "Four tracks that correspond to as many aphasic dialogues: the indication coming from the title of Paolo Monti's new work could not be clearer, as well as fully responding to its content. In fact, the Tuscan guitarist, increasingly prolific under the alias The Star Pillow, deliberately places himself 'off-screen' in the (sin)aesthetic observation of defined spaces and, even more so, of fleeting memories and sensations.
The melancholic sublimation of 'Ultim…
