The Grass Harp
*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* Aiko Takahashi is a Nova Gorica-based musician, a spirit that has released albums on various labels. Just like the line that separates the two cities where Aiko lives, Gorizia and Nova Gorica, divided between two countries yet united as one, Aiko’s music exists on a boundary. A line that separates silence from peculiar, almost imperceptible sounds. Too quiet to be Ambient, too Ambient to be Sound Art. Two years ago, after a first complete release on IIK…
Jeux De Terre
1993 release ** Limited edition of 1000 hand-numbered copies packaged in A5 portfolio with prints. "The concept behind 'jeux de terre' (earth plays) was of a journey through an imaginary world of insects. insects that had not been identified yet - as you can now read in english for the first time. 'insects, go for food or discovery, warzone, life purpose at the insect dimension' as girard explains it. the sound on this disc is less beat oriented than later vromb releases, but nevertheless it is …
Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes
2008 release ** Comes in a folded A2-poster sleeve. "The Belgian label Consouling Sounds, which specializes in guitar drone and has already released, among other things, the fantastic remix LP by N entitled "Bergen: Skizzen + Notiz" (Bergen: Sketches + Notes), has released the CD "Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes," a compilation that can confidently be described as a current overview of the genre. The opening track is a highlight, as "Amsterdam 2 Uhr Nachts" is the first sign of life from…
22.SZ
2004 release ** Edition of 350 copies in hand-numbered A5 sleeves. "After several split/collaboration CDR-releases and compilation appearances, French label Mechanoise Labs released the first full-length album of this project coming from St.Petersburg and specializing in music built mainly from radionoise manipulations. Pulsating rhythms, melodic elements, samples and dense noise attacks lie on a substrate of plangent drone layers extracted from electrified depths of radio receivers."
Namakar
1998 release ** CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Mathias Grassow is a decidedly diverse performer. Most of his solo recordings fall into the electronic minimalist style. On many of his collaborations, he goes to the tribal ambient style. On Namakar, he takes that route solo. This is a set of deep tribal minimalism. Grassow augments his signature synth drones with incessant didgeridoo drones. He surrounds those drones with some gentle synthesizer atmospheres and melodies…
The Introspective Spaces
1996 release ** Packaged in an oversized A5 folded paper sleeve with a plastic cover. "As I compose music, I try to create a relaxing environment so that the listener can escape from the hectic world of today. So, sweeping sounds which are filled with warmth are the base of each composition. Later on, percussion was added, but again, the relaxing mood was the main idea behind each musical work. Mystic meanings and surrealistic concepts are not what you must seek in this kind of music but pure en…
The Venerable Dark Cloud
1999 release ** Packaged in an oversized A5 folded paper sleeve with a plastic cover. "An ambient hybrid of traditional Indonesian soundscapes and electronics."
The Bees Of Psychic Province
2004 release ** CD held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Kratong is a solo project of Jhonny, the guitarist of Romowe Rikoito (Prussia). All the nine tracks from "The Bees of Psychic Province" show us various musical inspiration of the artist. On this album you'll find songs inspired by the middle ages, neo-folk music, ambient passages and even a rhytmic electro. for me personal a masterpiece like all 3 Romowe Rikoito albums, but sometimes more electronic and very psychedelic; lyrics this time…
Electro-City
1996 release ** CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Quest is the project of Frans De Waard (member of Kapotte Muziek and Beequeen). Quest started as a solo project of Frans and was initially called QST, influenced by Pete Namlook and the output of the FAX label."
Crows Heading For Point Blank
1995 release ** Edition of 1000 hand-numbered copies. CD in a card sleeve held in an A5 wraparound card folder. "Anyone familiar with Eno’s brand of ambient music will feel right at home as Shean weaves droning pads of calming textures and various timbres throughout. About a third of the way through, slow tribal rhythms are introduced, providing a welcome change in tempo, if not in tone. A few atmospheric flourishes come and go, including what sounds like chatter at a subway train station. Overa…
Fluidities
2004 release ** "Fluidities is not your usual double CD, but rather an open ended project designed to generate many unique musical collaborations. The tracks on these two discs were designed so that any track on one CD could be combined with any track from the other CD to create a hybrid piece. In fact any two tracks on Fluidities can be played together to create new composite tracks that are, in effect, virtual collaborations between artists who may have never recorded together. For listeners w…

The Bunker Years [2006-2014]
2019 release ** "A sort of anthology that collects material recorded between 2006 and 2014. The album is titled, programmatically, The Bunker Years (2006-2014) and represents a bit of a "summa" of his art. Musically the album is wonderful: the settings are dense, magmatic and claustrophobic. It is a liquid, wavy and minimal sound that moves in electroacoustic and electronic territories. The initial “The Rule Of The Shadows” with its rumblings creates a bizarre and difficult to decipher acoustic…

Montréal based artist and maker of concrète electronic tape music, Jeremy Young will release Cablcar, an experimental suite of electronic sketches for magnetic tape and analog oscillators, on Toronto’s boundary pushing label, Halocline Trance.

Re: Case Studies
*200 copies limited edition* After several solo-releases on the label, we welcome back Taylor Deupree and The Humble Bee for their first collaborative album to date. Re: Case Studies is out on May 2nd and available on vinyl and digitally.
While most collaborative albums are intentional from the start, this one almost never came to fruition and was born rather out of a fortunate coincidence. A few years ago, Taylor Deupree created a series of compositions entirely based on feedback loops, which n…

No Pussyfooting
2025 stock In August 1972 King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp was producing some material for Robert Wyatt. Brian Eno - then a member of Roxy Music, came to the studio to add synth to the same sessions. Fripp and Eno found common cause. The 21 minutes piece of music that resulted, 'The Heavenly Music Corporation' became one of the most significant and influential pieces of electronic music ever recorded. The other track on the album 'Swastika Girls' was not recorded until over a year later in au…
Cortex
For the first time on vinyl a collection of tracks by Cortex, Alain Neffe (Bene Gesserit, Insane Music) experimental spoken-word project originally released on tape in 1984. Cortex was never intended to be a conventional musical project. From the very beginning it was centered around free live performances. These encounters were stripped down and highly visual: Alain Neffe constructed a trapezoidal fluorescent white screen lit by black light. The narrator—la récitante—was only illuminated in the…
Rootless & Starbirthed
"This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupço…
I Was Thinking
*300 copies limited edition* "What a pleasure it is to hear this new album from France’s Jean-Baptiste Favory, long-distance associate of Los Lichis, presenter of France’s longest running avant garde radio show (Epsilonia), and a goddamn great musician. I Was Thinking is the solo third album we’ve done with J-B (preceded by Things Under and Ciels), and we think it’s the most varied and fascinating one yet. Using guitars, keyboards and electronics, Favory explores the edges between avant-rock, ex…
