Leaving Hardly a Mark
Tip! ** Edition of 200 ** Leaving Hardly a Mark is the debut album of the LHAM project, behind which lie the Italians Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh, Hall of Mirrors, Twist of Fate...) and Bruno De Angelis (Mana Erg). Cinematic and strongly evocative atmospheres are painted with the use of electronic instrumentation, guitars, bass and effects, following stylistic paths on the borderline between ambient music, moderate experimentation and subliminal "World" veins. Delicate sound watercolours, moments …
Una Notte Che Non Finisce Mai
** CD + 21x21cm 48-page booklet in Italian, ltd. 200 copies ** "It often happens that crime stories are able to influence the larger history that surrounds them, but very few are those that managed to change aspects of society and pass through more than five decades unharmed, at least in terms of fascination. The whole story of the Monster of Florence is one of them. It is impossible not to get entangled or at least to be captured by it, if one delves into its pages of far-fetched features and t…

The new mix for this CD edition was made in January 2018."Perhaps my drones are 'cosmic downloads' that contain a certain message – but even if so: if perceived by our ears only, this message does not have the power to change our dna and open up the way to more profound experiences of our inn…
Monochrome
"Monochrome" is a eulogy to Dmitry Vasiliev, a music enlightener, a label owner, a journalist, an ardent devotee of experimental music. Initially the composer Eugene Voronovsky conceived the album as a futuristic 'hi-res' mass, an alchemical fusion of angelic chorales and dub techno pulsations. A dream-like transparency of the material is deceptive in masking its technical complexity.
Untitled
** Edition of 300 copies in digipak **This 'nameless' Muslimgauze album was first published by Klanggalerie in 1996, and in a strange way sends the listener back to 1993, to the albums Betrayal and Veiled Sisters, being their obvious and natural continuation. Slow and soft, like a lump of hashish, either a dub or a lounge with an intoxicating sultry sound it immerses the listener in a light trance... It gives you a feeling as if you are lying down for an afternoon nap somewhere on the outskirts …

A Long View Across
"A Long View Across refers to the feeling you get when touching an artefact that was made more than 7,000 years ago, in this case stone rock carvings in the Cheviot hills in Northumberland. Spread out across the top of the hills lie huge stone tables carved with many petroglyphs weaving in and out of each other. The sites where you find the carvings are all places with fantastic views across the hillsides and lowlands. Places of great beauty and serenity. There is a sense of being out of time at…
Psi-Transient
"Brief moments of seemingly grasping something previously hidden from view. Snow melting on a deserted concrete platform at a station with no name in an urban wasteland. White trees , limbs outstretched as if barring the way into the deeper woods and the darkness. bone sentinels. A faint memory of once knowing and now forgotten. Elusive and dreamlike the ghosts return." - Robin Storey
