Memory Loss
*300 copies limited edition* Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities, serious enough to interfere with daily life. Loss of short-term memory is one of the most common initial symptoms. Several studies confirmed that music affects the brain in different ways; it doesn't just help retrieve stored memories, it also helps lay down new ones.
Inspired by this fact, Memory Loss is comprised of two compositions based on repea…
ΕΛΥΤΡΑ
*2022 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Everyone has heard the marvelous sound of crickets in the summer especially in the countryside. The sound is produced by raising and scraping against each of their protective fore-wings the elytra. Their burrow act as a resonator bringing at times a transcendent quality to the place. The music in this album with myriads of sounds, regular and irregular pulses, unfolds a similar transforming quality.
20_20
*2022 stock* 2020 is (was) a dramatic year. This is (was) evident already in its first few weeks. Fears, worries, hardships everywhere, even panic, utter helplessness, but also disgraceful ignorance and arrogance towards the perceiveable dangers around us, which continue to increase and diversify steadily, having already taken the lives of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide. This number, which increases daily, this number, which cannot describe the suffering and death of each single human…

Lagarriga aka Un Caddie Renversé dans l'Herbe (lives in Barcelona, born in São Paulo, Brazil, 1976) after several years of silence.

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…

Rideau
On their third album, »Rideau«, Swedish trio Tape made their great leap forward.

Feedback Works 1969-1970
**2022 small repress** Alga Marghen very proudly presents a remastered version of the complete documentation of Eliane Radigue sound installations from 1969-1970, including the broad tectonic vibrations of "Omnht," the celestial voices of "Usral," the massive chant of "Stress Osaka," and more -- the works of this artist's feedback period finally revealed.

Mediocrity and the Master Narrative
*In process of stocking* “Mediocrity and the Master Narrative” is about coming to terms with having grown up with unrealistic expectations of life. Moose Malloy spent multiple years crafting this many-layered 19 minutes masterpiece by masterfully molding a plethora of reference points and influences, ranging from Free Jazz to portraits by Lucian Freud, from geographical sites he never visited to mistakes in the broadest sense of the word. In a way, this album is not even an album; it's an incohe…
