Tide
As he is master of crushing beats/bass, Mick Harris remained faithfull to his primary love - drones! With brand new Lull, Harris deliveres four deep drone pieces, each for one side of vinyl. Beware your record player stylus that it is going to have hard job reproducing the depths of this new dimension music...
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…
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel A…
Somewhere
Somewhere is a place we have been waiting years to experience: a climate of sounds and spirits that gathers quietly and disperses with hazy grace, the result of a chance connection and long term correspondence. Over the past decade, ambient drone composer zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) has established his identity with numerous solo works, and his open-minded approach to peers has resulted in a complement of communal efforts; Pallette (who chooses to be known only by that moniker) has crafted no fewer…
Materia Vibrante
*100 copies limited release* Small sounds and huge drones populate the surrealistic landscape of “Materia Vibrante”, Susana López’s gorgeous new album, her third for Elevator Bath and first on vinyl. Extraordinarily evocative, this LP is filled with detail and emotive tranquility, while occasionally swelling with the intensity of a raging sea. Surely López’s most elegant and finely hewn work to date, “Materia Vibrante” offers a fully enveloping sonic meditation. The album was built from field re…
Almost An Island
*100 copies limited edition* Almost An Island marks the first collaboration between musician and producer Kenneth James Gibson and the husband-and-wife duo James and Cynthia Bernard. Gibson's career is a mosaic of sounds and ideas—so varied it might seem like the work of several artists, yet unmistakably his. From the widescreen psych-folk of Bell Gardens (with the late Brian McBride of Stars of the Lid), to the fractured electronics of Eight Frozen Modules, to intimate solo ambient albums and e…
Serenade
*100 copies limited release* The twelve jagged audio collages found on Colin Andrew Sheffield's "Serenade" shift from blurry abstractions to choppy sound art to mournful plundered passages, always with the singular stylistic approach the composer has developed over the last 25+ years of activity. As the follow-up to his previous full-length release, the critically acclaimed "Images" (2023), "Serenade" picks up where that album left off, although with an expanded sonic palette of funk, soul, jazz…
Interweaving #1
*2025 stock. 50 copies limited edition* Having recently joined the attenuation circuit roster, rsn, a sound-aesthetic project in the field of tension between drone and ambient, offers another collaborative album. Although rsn is basically the solo project of Thomas Rosen, collaboration is crucial for his work, so here he joins forces with Philipp Maike aka Nagen.
Nagen can be deciphered as a German word that means 'gnawing', and at times the microtonal drones in this improvised recording have ju…
Counting Backwards From ∞
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Frans de Waard and Sindre Bjerga are well-known for conjuring intensely captivating ambient dronescapes from rather lo-fi sources, both as solo artists and in their duo Tech Riders. The trio line-up heard on this album, however, came about when Sindre Bjerga and Fabio Orsi were working together for a week as part of the Brombron residency at Geluidwerkplaats Extrapool in Nijmegen. During that time, they had an impromptu meeting with Frans de Waard on 10 O…
Caligo
"What remains after mutilating and reassembling an essential historical recording? How is it connected to a particular event in a grotesque and cyclical novella riddled with medical procedures of an aesthetic and deforming nature? Malakoot – this spiral, centres on a decision made one afternoon by a character. On a similar afternoon, full of anxiety, pressed by an unknowable presence in this city , I decided that the soundscape for such an inspiring work of fiction was a mutilated one; things co…
Three-Way Association
Tip! *2025 stock* Three-Way Association by Selfish Limbs is a four-track concept album of ambient music, eclectic words, and minimalistic graphic artwork. As another addition to the Adventurous Music Books Series, it starts with the sound that is of spherical crackles and ethereal voices which sometimes seem like coming from Nordic folk music. In addition, choral soundscapes and soft drone-like atmospheres alternate, and dark horizons meet soothing bass. While listening to this, the clear writte…
Black Door
*2025 stock* The black door gives access to alternative versions of similar realities. What is real? What is it to be here? What is? Just like the material under your feet feels like the ground even though you may be on the top floor of a building, so is the vision of things around us determined by consciousness and limitations of the mind. Where and when is the start of a nebula and when does it end? Can you hold a plume of smoke in your hands or knock down the sound of the rain?
The collection…
Ibidem
*2025 stock* 'Ibidem' is a collaborative project between experimental composer Iván Muela and visual artist Meneh Peh. It is presented as a 3-hour drone ambient album accompanied by a book of analog photo collages inspired by the music and the creative process behind it.
“I’ve always been fascinated by the movement embedded in apparent stillness, like when you focus your attention on the surface of a lake and start noticing the ever-evolving patterns and the chaos happening in the water. Each tr…
Desire Paths
*100 copies limited edition* "The human obsession with exploring; risking life — whether to establish a name, expand human knowledge, or simply discover what’s over the horizon. A theme repeated by civilisation over thousands of years. Our planet-wide presence is evidence of our compulsion to explore and fulfil our desire to create paths. It will continue for as long as we remain curious."
zYklen (Neotantra, Mare Nostrum, Chitra Records) is Simon Ferris, a musician, composer and synthesist, base…
The Invisible Castle
2009 release ** ""Richard Dawson's project that debuted on Blackest Rainbow earlier this year, which was followed by CDRs on Bells Hill, Low Point and Dead Pilot, and another release on Blackest Rainbow, a split cassette with fellow UK droner Gareth Hardwick. The Invisible Castle is far more intense, and in some ways heavier than the previous releases on BR, but retains Dawson's own dark take on the world of psychedelic drone music, and this is a proper drone release, clocking in an hour for the…
The Inner Garden
On her debut for Past Inside the Present, UK-based Hadley Roe performs a vivid sonic alchemy with a modest setup of electric guitar, synth, and software – but The Inner Garden’s beating heart lies in the immense healing force that Roe summons from the quiet corners of her countryside home and its surroundings. She is publicly candid about her ongoing struggles with mental health, and the album’s eight pieces draw much of their inspiration from unresolved trauma, self-imposed isolation, and inten…
13
For its inaugural release of 2025, Past Inside The Present proudly offers a powerful set of new pieces from experimental ambient veteran bvdub (aka Brock Van Wey), simply titled 13. Across its duration, spacious arrangements nest in clouds of reverb, underscored by granular details and entrancing synth arpeggiations. According to Van Wey – a long time scholar of Eastern ideas and literature – every section represents one edict or idea from chapter 13 of the Tao Te Ching, the foundational text of…
Roulette Russe Pour Un Peu De Caviar
2007 release ** "The compilation of exclusive tracks by russian artists, intended for the presentation on “Bruit de la neige” 2007 festival by Studio Forum (Annecy, France). Some of them are good known in Russia and worldwide, some are just the newcomers, but all are showing the great potential of russian experimental music scene in the fields of electroacoustic, abstract electronic music, drone ambient and noise collages." Featuring: Kolpakopf, Bardoseneticcube, Exit In Grey, Cisfinitum, Instan…
The Voice Of The Taniwha
2005 release ** "First real CD from little known NZ knob-twiddler/sound-sampler/drone-minimalist in the footsteps of Peter Wright and Omit. Seht is one Stephen Clover, who has released a handful of drone-oriented limited lathe cuts under different names. Not as single-minded as you might think; Mr. Clover's approach to the drone thing uses different instruments to create a series of droning and repeating pieces that vary wildly in mood from each other, and sometimes pull a sudden internal switch…
