Schächten
*Limited edition of 300 copies* Erik K Skodvin's feature-length score to Thomas Roth's thriller "Schächten" feels like the epitome of all his musical projects, conjuring a dark cinematic trip through 1960's post-WWII Vienna in a film that touches on topics such as law, justice & revenge.
Releasing a soundtrack as a stand-alone album can be challenging; and "Schächten" is by no means a typical listening experience. The record contains 24 more or less short pieces evolving through dramatic movemen…
Anamibia Sessions 1: The Wave
A potentially surprising release on Editions Mego. Another planned prior to the untimely passing of Peter Rehberg in 2021.
It Comes To Us All
*Limited edition of 400 copies* Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, JK Flesh) breathes new life into his Final project for an album on Helm’s Alter label. Formed in 1984 out of an obsession with the industrial, noise & power electronics acts of the early eighties, Final made its public debut at the legendary Mermaid pub in Birmingham when Broadrick was just 14 years old. A string of cassette releases via his Post Mortem Rekordings label established the name within the underground noise scene of …
Transition
*In process of stocking. Limited coloured vinyl LP + MP3 download code (comes in different coloured vinyl, we cannot guarantee which one you will receive)* Stockholm's Havenaire follows up a series of head-turning ambient releases on the likes of Shimmering Moods, Polar Seas and Glacial Movements with a limited new long player on Past Inside The Present. Across six slowly shifting soundscapes he layers up his misty-eyed chords into music that is designed to empty your mind but that also gently s…
Nachthorn
Nachthorn, for midi-controlled organNachthorn takes its name from one of the 78 stops that make up the main organ in St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf. This instrument, equipped with a system developed by the German company Sinua, offers the possibility of controlling all of its keyboards and timbres via a computer. The organ thus becomes a powerful synthesiser. This set-up allowed me to fulfil an old dream of mine : to create an entirely acoustic dance music piece with the organ as sole actor. …
Discs Of Death
Tip! * in process of stocking * Discs Of Death is a 4xCD collection of all new Teeth Of Glass material.

Dödsabnorm
*2022 stock* Only a year after the "Nihil Total" album Folkstorm returns stronger than ever with an album of suffocating and death-infused ortodox industrial. Recorded using only 70´s circuitry and lots of metallic percussion Nordvargr has created a dense atmosphere that is dark and threatening as well as hypnotic. A clear statement of what 2020, and possibly the future, will hold for us all; decay, darkness and suffering.
Arbores
Tip! Troekurovo Recordings is a production team made up of Toki Fuko, Vadim Basov and Evgeny Vorontsov and they have been hidden away deep in some enchanted Russian forests recording music. Now they are putting out the results on this superb double pack. This project started back in 2016 as a live experimental jam and is now an annual tradition made on loads of analogue gear on the banks of a canyon that was formed many years ago by a melting glacier. The locale provides inspiration - from the f…
Pavonine
*In process of stocking.* "Pavonine" is the second offering from the collaborative duo of Dominic Coppola and Angelo Harmsworth, following the 2017 "Cordial" release on Strange Rules. The album was conceived in late 2020 and completed in spring of 2021, which requires no further explanation when it comes to recording and living conditions.
The duo deploys an array of minimalist structures, steady in span and measured in concept. Each track is executed with a precision focus on antithetical compo…
Common Values
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Since 2014 Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Breathless has been releasing most of his solo work through Fourth Dimension Records. Common Values is his seventh such album for the label (not including a reissue of 2009’s The Return album, originally released on vinyl by USA’s long gone by legendary Noiseville, and the LP reissues of the Broken Flag albums Mobility and Do Not due, after many delays, in late September/October 2021) and gathers another six mighty cuts that on…
I Am The Dirt Under Your Fingernails
*Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely following 'I…
Bowdark
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Bowdark is the name of a fictitious town somewhere in the USA. After a comet hits the town, mysterious things starts to happen. The Gothenburg-based artist Magnus Jäverling started to develop the concept and story around 2016, which included a scale model of the town and now the culmination of the project; his 10-track debut album. Recorded between 2016 and 2022, the album is a epic and dramatic journey through the peculiar lives and happe…
Extinction Meditation
*75 copies black tapes, limited edition* xtinction Meditation is 4 movement percussion piece describing the impending environmental apocalypse. Each movement represents a year 2050, 2071, 2092 and 2113. They explore the human response to increasing social, physical and ecological decay and chaos.
Koko Maailma
*300 copies limited edition *Since the late aughts, Helsinki-based multi-instrumentalist, linguist, and skateboarder Olli Aarni has released a steady stream of diverse and remarkably consistent recordings via labels such as Mappa, Longform Editions, Cotton Goods, Laaps and Superpang. “Koko Maailma” constitutes a major new work in his discography, finding a fertile middle ground between what might be understood as his two primary compositional modes: organic/chaotic/aleatoric music and rule-based…
1 For One
Rezo Glonti (aka Aux Field), Georgian sound artist and electronic music producer debuts on the label One Instrument with an album entirely made with the Teenage Engineering OP-1. He mostly works within the field of experimental music and places a strong emphasis on the incorporation of texture and space into his compositions.
On his new album “1 For One” Rezo Glonti created all the layers of the pieces in one take. As always, Glonti’s playing is deceptively elegant, raw but precise, attuned to r…
Departing In Descent
Anyone who's cast even the most casual eye over their ever expanding catalogue will have realised that one thing Past Inside The Present do best is bring artists together for unexpected and inspired collaborations. Departing in Descent is the first collaboration between James Bernard and Bvdub but their creative conversation effectively started as far back as 1994 when the latter bought Bernard's Atmospherics album in 1994 when it was "mistakenly stocked" in his local house music store. He says …
CSound & Saz
Anthony Moore (Slapp Happy, Henry Cow, Kevin Ayers, Pink Floyd) releases his second album and first CD for Touch. CSound & Saz was recorded live for Touch's 40th anniversary event at Iklectik in May 2022. "I wanted to balance the digital output of a CSound orchestra with an analogue instrument and chose the Turkish saz, a sound I've loved and lived with for the last 6 decades."
A coincidence is perfect, intimate attunement
Second Editions presents a new collaborative work by Marja Ahti and Judith Hamann.
Rideau
On their third album, »Rideau«, Swedish trio Tape made their great leap forward. Released in 2005 on Häpna, following two albums of pastoral folk meets electronica, »Rideau« saw the trio of Andreas and Johan Berthling, and Tomas Hallonsten, working with an outside producer, Marcus Schmickler (best known for his post-rock outfit Pluramon). On »Rideau«, Tape’s music opened out considerably, embracing traditional minimalism, and luscious melodicism. Now, seventeen years later, »Rideau« has a new ho…
Singe
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Singe" is the new record by Angelo Harmsworth, a musician who hails from the American Southwest and is operating now out of Berlin. Harmsworth’s work deals resolutely in extremes, but this music is not concerned with presenting binary or dichotomous relationships so much as it is with reconciling disparate sensibilities and sounds. Layers of meticulously edited and sculpted tones swirl around one another, creating kaleidoscopic patterns and h…
