Nightfall
"A defining force in the “Berlin School” of electronic music, both as a member of Tangerine Dream in what some see as their most essential era, and as a solo artist, Baumann has always bridged the cerebral and the cinematic. With ‘Nightfall’, he embarks on another sonic odyssey, crafting an atmospheric album steeped in mystery and evocative storytelling. Baumann’s artistic vision has long been shaped by his exploration of the human condition. From his pioneering work with Tangerine Dream to his …
Venite Visum
2025 stock Running Back welcomes Andreas Grosser for the start of it's non-dancefloor series "Running Back Incantations". Think Tornado Wallace's "Lonely Planet" or Suzanne Kraft's "Missum" who both would have been good and early contenders for a series like that, and you are half way there. Andres Grosser though, was "there" and that way before. Probably best-known for his 1987 collaboration "Babel" with Klaus Schulze, Grosser is a bit of a dark horse in the universe whose big bang was krautro…
Drei Kugeln
*100 copies limited edition* Totally concentrated, this album captures the birth of new ideas almost every minute – each emerging, disappearing instantly, and making way for the next. Reminiscent of Elliott Sharp’s 'Phlogiston' and the works of Roland Kayn, it balances mystique with accessibility. A masterpiece and a true classic of electronic music.
RhythmiCon
*100 copies limited edition* Con's rhythmic explorations, carried out over 18 years from 1982, culminated in this full 66-minute album. A truly unique release, it stands apart from his other works, offering a distinct sonic experience. Intentionally simple – almost primitive – its rhythmic structures capture the musical atmosphere of the early '80s. Hypnotic, analog-driven, and now available for the first time on CD.
Sorgens Aska
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Angst Sessions make slow dark repetitive melancholic avant garde music. During sessions with modular instruments from Buchla & Serge finding interesting textures, timbres in spatial time and space. Recording one takers and multitrack on top and combine that with old synths and string machines. Mimic nature's harsch and grim way of creating pulsating life and later decay and eternal darkness.
Depressiv Magi
*2025 stock*
From above corroding skies adrift with clouds of grey.Through spiraling voids undone by stars colliding.Past infinite aeons of spectral mists forgotten.The crying cosmos flaps its wings.Releasing waves of depressive magic.Hurling storms of piercing sorrow.Crashing against the fraying shore of human flesh.
Offermose & Angst returns as Den Sorte Død.Channeling the depressive magic of a crying cosmos. Making this the 5th album from the mournful duo.
Hemmeligheden bag Den Sorte Slanges Konstellation
First came Undergangen, a trilogy consisting of the eponymous Undergangen (The Downfall), Den Sorte Død (The Black Death) and Depressiv Magi (Depressive Magic). Three albums dedicated to decaying worlds and fraying minds. And to the all-consuming grief of earthly existence.
Hemmeligheden bag Den Sorte Slanges Konstellation (The Secret of the Constellation of the Black Serpent) ushers in a new era. The era of the Crying Cosmos. Where black serpents slither in icy voids between stars, tracing cosm…
Holland Festival
Infinite Expanse is excited to announce the reissue of Holland Festival, the soundtrack for The Theatre for Moveable People, Objects and Music, originally performed live in 1983 during the Holland Festival at the City Theatre in Amsterdam. This first-time vinyl edition captures the essence of an audacious and provocative Fluxus art event which remains a landmark in the Dutch avant-garde scene.
The recordings, captured over four consecutive nights, were edited at the Exart studio in IJmuiden and …
Music For Massage II
Recorded and released in 1987, the original cassette bore a minimalist plum tree design on the cover and music soothing to match. There are only 2 confirmed copies of the original cassette, one of them was used in the restoration and revival of this classic new age album.
Five years after the New Age cult-classic album Music For Massage hit the shelves, it’s sequel was silently released. Never intended for consumer sale, Music For Massage II was only known to a select few masseuses and tape coll…
1/2 Mensch
2024 repress; LP version. This is the third album by Einstürzende Neubauten, also known as Halber Mensch, originally released in 1985. The album opens with the startlingly oppressive, almost fully a cappella title track, with contrapuntal, atonal, en masse chanting. The album progresses to include quite a repertoire of electronically-generated sounds, finding the band developing their mishmash of industrial experimentation matched by terrifying clangs, stomps, and of course, the theatrical, poet…
Early Water
Limited edition of 500 copies on clear with blue streaks vinyl. Reissue of on LP a classic duo performance, recorded in Berlin 1976. Ash Ra Tempel's Gottsching (Farfisa, ARP, Gibson, tape echoes with Revox A 77) and Tangerine Dream/Agitation Free associate Hoenig (Yamaha, EMS, Moog, Oberheim) layering the zones for one continuous 48 minute flow of cosmic sequencing.
Deutsche Wertarbeit
Original 1981 1st press on Sky with laminated sleeve of excellent Berlin-school synth and only album by Dorothea Raukes solo project.
John Tyler Selection
*100 copies limited edition* A successful example of a collaboration between critic/listener and musician, where existing artifacts acquire a new sound through their combination. This release is an essential tool in the musical arsenal of both a beginner, who is first diving into the depths of CON's structural electronics, and a mature fan of the patriarch of the Berlin school. Get your colorful entrance ticket to CON's Cosmos! Willkommen!
Magie
*100 copies limited edition* Like the entire series of 100 works showcasing the most notable viewpoints in CON's electronic space, 'Magie' is a unique facet that draws the listener into an unpredictable, sometimes frightening journey into the unknown that runs through rich, frequently changing soundscapes.
In Blue
When "In Blue" was released in 1995, many fans thought that this was the most typical Klaus Schulze record for a long time. They were probably right because Klaus did the songs a little bit with the fans in mind for whom the sounds of the previous album were too modern. In this respect "In Blue" is a more traditional Schulze record and, also, because it featured Manuel Goettsching on "Return Of The Tempel". However, he didn't plan this. Somehow it came to his mind to ask Manuel if he won"t feel …
Electrical Storm At The Micro Station
We are immensely pleased to welcome into the HDK catalog Mr. Graham Simpson, a champion of electronic music who was hidden in his little house up there in the north east of England. It is reductive to place Graham's music under a specific tag because he is able to release amazing albums in any genre or subgenre that can in some way be traced back to the definition of electronic music. Albums like this “Electrical Storm at the Micro Station”, which will surely make rejoice the lovers of old recor…
Faer The Wanderer
Here we go again: Gnoll is back! The brutal dungeon-synth ensemble was this time involved in a collaboration of epic proportions called… Faer the WandererFaer is a Conan-esque character specifically invented for HDK by the English writer John Reppion (co-author with his wife Leah Moore of masterpiece comics such as Albion and Wild Girl, fresh from collaboration with... Iron Maiden!): Faer the Wanderer is a tribute to the glorious heroic-fantasy paperbacks of the 70s, but with typical vibes of th…
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…
