Tracers
** 2021 stock ** In the early years of 21st century, vidnaObmana teamed up with US experimentalist David Lee Myers, of Arcane Device fame, for a collaborative album that showcases their shared fascination for processing and recycling sound. “Tracers” is the audio evidence of this meeting. A few years later this material was mastered by Dirk Serries and got the new design based on Martina Verhoeven’s artwork.
Soundtrack For The Aquarium
Tip! ** 2021 stock ** Vidna Obmana (whose real name is Dirk Serries) evokes the sunless wet gloom of his native Belgium in this CD which, as its name says, is music composed by Obmana as background sound for an aquarium installation. It has seven sections of his atmospheric (or rather, aquatic) ambience, dating from '92 and '93. Obmana stays with his familiar repertoire of long, floating electronic drone tones over percussion and sound effects. When he uses tonality, he favors somber open eleven…
The Trilogy
** 2021 stock ** A rare treat much-anticipated by out-of-the-loop Obmana fans, The Trilogy collects a trio of full-length recordings self-released by Vidna's Dirk Serries, featuring hands down the composer's finest, most accomplished textural works to date. While three discs might seem excessive for a compositional style relying heavily on looping and repetition, the pieces never seem indulgent or overlong (indeed, they occasionally seem almost too short), with each disc sketching out an emotion…
Mental Detentions
Robert Rental was a British pioneer of the post-punk DIY industrial electronic music scene in the United Kingdom. Originally from Port Glasgow, Scotland, he moved to the south of England with Thomas Leer in the late 1970s, and became involved with the local music scene. Robert Rental however released very little of his solo music, preferring to collaborate with Thomas Leer, as well as with Daniel Miller. The only solo recording from The 1970s is the 7" single "Paralysis" first released on the ho…

Raven
Raven is the first new Organum album release since that of Sorrow in 2010 (Siren Records) and was recorded in 2017.For the realisation of Raven, Organum was comprised of David Jackman, Alan Jones, and Daisuke Suzuki.The first Organum 12-inch release 'Tower of Silence' (LAYLAH-1985) was a work of multi-layered bowed sound and scraping metallic objects, but there was an innate silence within this wall of noise - as Basho’s Haiku poem echos :“Deep silence, the shrill of cicadas, seeps into rocks.” …
Cluster & Eno
The first of two milestones in ambient music recorded by Germany's legendary electronic pioneers Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius together with Britains music eccentric Brian Eno.
Defragmental
Cotton Ferox key members Carl Abrahamsson and Thomas Tibert have composed, performed and produced groundbreaking music since the late 1980s. After their time in White Stains and several solo projects, Cotton Ferox have been their main mothership. Always producing cutting edge stuff, they have also always made an issue out of collaborating with other interesting artists. In both White Stains and Cotton Ferox, they’ve worked together with industrial pioneer/legend Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. Some ex…
Unichtozheniye
Xambuca does not really exist in the material space time continuum. Instead, Xambuca conceptually feeds on the subconscious figment of a host's imagination; a host that has a tendency to encounter its name or symbols in passing by mere coincidence.
Tietoisen Siirtymän Oletettu Toiseus
Ilpo Väisänen (Pan Sonic), offers a deeply personal and emotional record that literally translates to “The Presumed Otherness Of The Conscious Transition”. An appropriate title for a very somber and serious listening.
Phlogiston
Elliott Sharps's release on Erototox Decodings is no different in terms of his ongoing homage to science, entitled 'Phlogiston', aptly named after a substance supposed by 18th-century chemists to exist in all combustible bodies, and to be released in combustion. It’s also his first purely electronic and synthesized record to date.
Barricades
The story is that Vigroux spent most of the time on his tour constructing what would subsequently evolve into Barricades. Working indefatigably on new tracks in the morning and performing them live in the evening - that is basically how this excellent work was assembled. Recording everything in stereo, using only two tracks, Vigroux aimed to incorporate “the rawness of a ‘live’ recording”. Consequently, the sound here became unmistakably pure and expressive, somewhat reminiscent of artists such …
RA
Schneider TM & Jochen Arbeit of Einstürzende Neubauten release an album of ‘urban cosmic freeform music’ on the US label Erototox Decodings in cooperation with MWM featuring musical contributions by Julia Kent (cello), Lucio Capece (bass clarinet) & Claas Großzeit (cymbal). The album, which almost became a lost treasure, was already recorded in winter 2011/12 and stretches out it’s harmonic dissonances between heavy drones, strange noises, industrial-like metal percussion, feedback-ish flutes, …
LCM
"A mainstay of the Bay Area experimental music scene, Thomas Dimuzio played countless times at this comfortably carpeted venue, that kind of privately public space where it can be hard to properly tell the music apart from the community. Though ’LCM’ is technically a live album — two side-long suites, each built out of three continuous movements — it’s also been seamlessly composed from so many different nights that it represents an entire era, evoking the sites that allow music like this to com…
The Wind In Kirtipur
"The Wind In Kirtipur is a piece in two parts using normal and treated location recordings, pitched Tibetan thigh bone horn and singing bowls. Recordings were made at the Bagh Bhairab Temple in Kirtipur, at the Swayambhunath Stupa in Kathmandu and inside the walls of the Kumari Ghar where the 'Kumari Devi' (Living Goddess) lives in Kathmandu, Nepal. The title is inspired by a text written by poet Ira Cohen as a foreword to a book of early texts/poems by Angus MacLise entitled 'The Map of Dusk': …

On this occasion the Orphax performance was recorded live. This CD features the full set - no edits, no cuts. This live set merges Orphax's fascination for minimalist art and his idiosyncratic take on drone music, offering warm and organic atmospheres in which the listener drifts away, losing not o…
Racines Synthetiques
In 1978, keyboardist and composer Joël Fajerman published « Racines Synthétiques » in collaboration with Jan Yrssen. Some songs were featured on « L’Aventure des plantes » soundtrack, one of the first ecological program on french TV. Living up to its title, this is an astonishing album filled with melancholia and beauty.

Ancient and futuristic environments interconnected by invisible historical…
