Ecophony Gaia
*2025 repress* Deep, deep, earth music from Tsutomu Ōhashi and the Geinoh Yamashirogumi crew. A macrosymphony composed for the International Garden and Greenery Exposition in Osaka, Japan, 1990, Ecophony Gaia, was supposed to be the stunning, aural centerpiece for a light and water performance system echoing the sentiment of the venue: "Harmonious Coexistence of Nature and Mankind". Ecophony Gaia was in its truest essence the final part of a trilogy that began with 1986's Ecophony Rinne, continu…

Taba
Taba, the new album from Japanese musician, songwriter and traveller Satomimagae, unfolds as a series of vignettes that document both the personal and the universal, seen and unseen. Observing and absorbing the fleeting scenes and sounds of life flowing outside of her home studio, Satomi sings beyond herself, in an orbit of souls and systems both in the present and in the strange flux of memory, leaving linear songwriting to rest for circuitous stories expanded and expansive in tone and texture.
Air - The Complete Collection
Pete Namlook, one of the most influential figures in the history of electronic music, passed away in 2012, leaving behind a vast sonic legacy. Yet Air remains his most poetic, organic, and emotionally resonant project. Created between 1993 and 2006, the Air series is a five-part symphony of ambient, ethnic, jazz, neoclassical, and cosmic electronic elements.
Now, nearly two decades later, we proudly present the long-awaited reissue of the entire series — for the first time ever as a complete 5CD…
Evolved As One (A Collection Of Emotional Ambient-Drones)
2003 release ** Featuring Moljebka Pulse , Dual, Ure Thrall, Ultrasound, SRMeixner, Cats of Tel Aviv, Moljebka Pulse, Ure Thrall, Troum. "Evolved from a series of concerts held in Utrecht, their main man nows has his own label and as a start he released a CD with nine tracks by his favourite seven artists. Like with the evenings, Evolved As One focusses on ambient and drone related music. They seek drone music in various directions: sad, introvert or melancholic. On this CD we find some very dee…
New Death Order
2006 release ** ""New Death Order" is a powerful mixture of unusual varieties and neat qualities, where orthodox atmospheres hit vigorous impacts, simmering synths, and carefully directed sampling. The musical contrasts, which underline the concepts of the album, decline through consumption and decadence in a cynical manner. Best neo-classic and martial industrial with a touch of sounds from the great mother Russia!"
In Search Of Sanity
1993 release ** "In Search Of Sanity is dedicated to the spirit of the Slieve League cliffs and the famine village of Port in County Donegal/ireland. As these compositions are also tales about searching sanity by the way of lonelyness and hermitage I made the work in silent honour of the monks of Skellog Michael. All sounds are composed, played, arranged and recorded by Mathias Grassow between 1992 and 1993, except "Conjuration" and "Troubles", wich are composed and played by mathias Grassow and…
In The Land Of Melancholy
2000 release ** "In The Land Of Melancholy as the band's first official release is to present it - in the musicians' intention - from the most accessible side. Hence, the album mainly features atmospheric ballads. However, it is easy to read in them the band's wealth of experience, passion and inspiration. The psychedelic tradition of the 60s is complemented by the spatiality of electronic sounds, which refers to the cosmic German psychedelia of the early 70s (e.g. Cosmic Jokers), or its contemp…
Flow
2006 release ** "In the artist's own words, Flow is an exercice of confrontation, a placing in context between voice and computer, all the idiosyncrasies of bare-naked human expression, altered, expanded and processed beyond its own flesh and blood. It also stages the possibilities and the impossibilities of relationships, or at least tries to pose some questions about the construction of our identity as a permanent conversation with others, through emotions that flow from rational collaboration…
Quiet Pieces
'Quiet Pieces' initiates Abul Mogard’s personal imprint Soft Echoes with a definitive self-portrait of calm, contemplative, and discreet inner landscapes made audible. It is the first solo album on vinyl in four years.
Country Music
*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…
Lars Boutrup's Music For Keyboards
2005 release ** "The man behind the album is the keyboard player and composer Lars Boutrup. After years in the business with rock, silent movie music and classical music. Performance as well as composing, in all sorts of different constellelations. Lars Boutrup is now releasing his first solo album. Music for Keyboards is an album with both beautiful numbers to reflect on and sense the universe to. There are also moments where you can have a laugh and freak out to funny synthesizer sounds and me…
Comrades In Lost...
2004 release ** 'Comrades in Lost' is the multimedia / audio CD, which is created with an aim to introduce people to latvian industrial music. Sound material presents each musician’s search in the field of industrial music, what comes from a personal belief and experience. Soundscape shows influences of martial industrial, power electronics and IDM, but can’t be placed in a frame of a particular style. The sound remains individual and satiated, with a touch of experiment, but not experimental. T…
Oh! You Are So Naive!
2006 release ** "Oh! You are so naive! is the fourth album released by Mirt outside of the parent Brasil & the Gallowbrothers Band, and previously One Inch of Shadow. The album is a continuation of the path begun on the last mini-album – “Most”. This time, however, the whole is not based on a specific place, but on the fascination with twentieth-century revolutions and socialist utopia. Six songs about a revolt that never took place, about the hopeless immobility of today's rebels camouflaged so…
Above The Sky
2010 release ** "Part One : Back in March 2006 Monos performed their one and only live show, comprised on the day of Darren Tate, Colin Potter and Paul Bradley. The show is recorded on a handheld recorder placed somewhere within the audience by Darius Akashic. Sometime later (probably 2007 no one can remember exactly) the material captured on that recording is revisited in the studio where the track (A Place Of Voices) is recreated over a couple of afternoons and many cups of tea. After that, no…
Live19082000
2003 release ** Limited edition of 140 copies. The recording covers almost all sides of Bardoseneticcube sonority: from noise ambient to shamanic industrial techno.
Incidental Music
2012 release ** "The heart of Incidental Music is the acoustic guitar: melodies, chords, drones, and percussive sounds sometimes used in a straightforward manner, while at other times abstracted and manipulated to beautiful effect. Upon this foundation the palette of sounds expands quietly to include various small acoustic instruments and vinyl samples. The result is an album more reserved and patient than any in The Green Kingdom's repertoire. These minimal themes serve as an apt score to the s…
Lobelia
2011 release ** "Black Eagle Child has the uncanny ability to marry pastoral post-folk – high humidity front porch rambles to sparse and exploratory arpeggios that are thick with pathos and tinged with nostalgia for the disappearing horizon of definable memories – and soaring guitar lines that ascend above the field recordings and layers of looped acoustic and electric guitars. Lobelia creates emotional landscapes of great loss combined with those flying dreams that we have where we are soaring …
MV X: Monochrome Visions 2004 - 2014
