Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline
2025 stock Painstakingly recorded, processed and assembled over five years, Stars Of The Lid once again delivered a massive work filling two compact discs and three vinyl albums, clocking in at over two hours. While most albums of this length would be considered tedious at best, SOTL are arguably the only contemporary composers who can seemingly alter the time-space continuum simply through the playback of their organized sound. They take time itself and stretch, compress and turn it inside out,…
Gravitational Pull vs. The Desire For An Aquatic Life
2025 stock Austin-based Stars Of The Lid heralded a new strain of the American underground in the mid-'90s. The duo's second album, Gravitational Pull vs. The Desire For An Aquatic Life, features ambient soundscapes, drone guitars and effects-treated classical instruments, and there is no better example of modern minimalism than this.

Addio esseri di polvere
de’ Lamperi is the alias of Florence-based interdisciplinary artist Francesco Toninelli. Conceived as a sound-focused multidisciplinary performance, "Addio esseri di polvere" (“Farewell, dust creatures”) is a haunting soundscape that unfolds against a 17th-century fantasy-like backdrop. A succession of gestures and environments conjures a dense symbolism, triggering a semantic upheaval: in keeping with his interdisciplinary practice of reappropriation and re-imagination of the past, Toninelli bu…
Doman O.S.T.
Heimat der Katastrophe is pleased to present - for the first time on physical media - the soundtrack of the cult Polish videogame called "Doman: Grzechy Ardana" for Commodore Amiga, produced in 1994 by Mirage Software. A must-have for all the heroic-fantasy brutality fans!
Mythology
Few albums like this one have made us jump out of our seats and giggle: "OH YES!". Graham Simpson, the author of the beautiful "Electrical Storm at the Micro-Station" published by HDK in 2024, returns with an epic, powerful, and terribly evocative concept. "Mythology" - as its author states - manifests his devotion to the history of soundtracks for fantasy cinema: from the colossal films of the 50s with the music of Miklos Rozsa, to the Italian Sword & Sandal films of the 60s, from the soundtrac…
Anoyo
2025 stock Anoyo (“the world over there”) draws from the same sessions with members of Tokyo Gakuso which led to the 2018 work Konoyo, but rendered starker, solemn, and stripped back, with more of a naturalist tint. Tim Hecker’s processing here moves in veiled ways, soft refractions and whispered shrouds woven within improvisational sessions of traditional gagaku interplay, evoking a sense of vaulted space, temples at dawn, shredded silk fluttering in the rafters.
Early Works 1988 - 1992
A raw sonic document of exile, trauma, and transformation, this CD collects early works by Hungarian artist Sándor Vály, recorded between 1988 and 1992. Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth. Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and personal upheaval, Bardo Tödol I–II, SoulDrum, and other recordings evoke a haunting inner journey bet…
Fernweh
Visionary electroacoustic explorations return as Black Truffle reissues Kassel Jaeger's Fernweh, a major work fusing musique concrète and synthesis into emotionally charged sonic landscapes of rare intensity.
Invocation Of The Beast Gods
1989 release ** "If "Cathedral" is one of Nigel Ayers' most celestially minded records, then "Invocation of the Beast Gods" is among his most ritualistic. We start at full throttle with suffocating tension before giving way to an uneasy release. "Tranquil" this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications — here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning.."
Web
1995 release ** "Some of the most abrasive, industrial leaning ambient of either of these composers' careers. Chains rattle, voices whisper menacingly, and dark, dissonant textures and deep bass drones collide on a trio of extended tracks united by the questionably thematic topic of digital communications technology. Difficult but rewarding."
Telepathic Fish: Trawling The Early 90s Ambient Underground
The first-ever illustrated compendium recounting the seminal underground South London ambient party that surfaced at the axis through which the likes of Ninja Tune, Warp and Rising High flowed. Telepathic Fish shared fertile waters with Megatripolis and The Big Chill, moving the early 90s London back room chill-out space into the kaleidoscopic spotlight. Documenting the sights and sounds of South London’s seminal Telepathic Fish ambient parties. Hosted by Chantal Passamonte (aka Mira Calix – RIP…
Crossing Ngoli
1992 release ** "Greinke and Angus met at Penn State where they started composing and performing together. In 1982 they moved to Seattle and began playing in clubs and festivals, working with a variety of musicians in various bands and projects. Their work as a duo was documented on the classic album Crossing Ngoli (Ear-Rational, 1992)."
Meanwhile
1995 release ** "Trance Mission creates powerful electro-tribal ambience with a variety of standard, traditional, and eclectic devices. Meanwhile, their second CD, is a collection of tribal atmospheres forged with respect and passion. Stephen Kent, Kenneth Newby, Beth Custer, and John Loose are constantly on the same page. They impact the respect and reflect the passion. It is all done with varying degrees of urgency. Kent's didg creates the drone from which Newby's atmospheres arise. Custer's r…
All Our Ancestors
1994 release ** "Tuu is one of those bands that manages to straddle the seemingly disparate worlds of traditional ethnic music and ambient electronica, somewhat the same way that African Head Charge and Mouth Music do, but with very different results. In this case, the interactions between synthesist Mykl O'Dempsey, exotic percussionist Martin Franklin, and flutist Rebecca Lublinski (who spends most of her time on either the bansuri or the Chinese flute) result in a music that is dark and strang…
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*200 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…
