Escalade
Escalade, originally released in 1976, is a cult gem of jazz fusion and electronic experimentation by Teddy Lasry, former member of Magma. On this album, Lasry crafts a unique universe where cosmic synthesizers, hypnotic rhythms, and dreamlike atmospheres meet at the crossroads of space jazz, film music, and avant-garde electronics. The record’s concise tracks blend jazz-funk grooves with inventive synth textures and melodic flair, demonstrating Lasry’s skill as a composer and multi-instrumental…
The Minutes Hours / Les Heures Secondes
The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes is the sixth album of Belgian solo act Half Asleep. Recorded at home with friends, The Minute Hours | Les Heures Secondes took over a decade to bring to fruition. This is an ambitious album, more spacious and bold than its predecessors, often taking unexpected paths and detours. Built around Valérie’s guitar and piano, Half Asleep's crepuscular acoustic universe is however still very much and recognizably her own. It is here augmented by a textured cello, a…
Even Toned
*30 copies limited edition* "The first time I heard about Takahiro Mukai was through the Err Rec label on which I had published 2 albums.I immediately liked his approach to sound, very pure and very close to the machine, to synthesizers. He seems to ignore the human by becoming one with the synthesis, his tracks do not have titles but numbers that are classified by their recording order. This may seem cold and soulless but it is in fact quite the opposite, because it is in symbiosis with his mac…

Lunatic soundscapes, floating voices, distorted noises, trumpets and marching rhythms.
The flow of the river is ceaseless, and yet its water is never the same, while along the still pools foam floats, never stay long.

Wasteland
2005 release ** "After their debut MCD "New Death Order" Cyclotimia presents ten new tracks composed as a soundtrack for a decaying metropolis. Wasteland is packed of melancholy and epic moments with slow and intense compositions. Samples taken from television's channels and synths has been used to compose these tracks which merge industrial, classical and ambient music. If you love dense, dark and intimistic atmospheres try this one."
TimeBank
2009 release ** ""TimeBank" is a collection of exclusive compositions recorded by Cyclotimia in 2003-2007 and for some reasons left out of the main albums. The material presented here is hard to fit in the Procrustean bed of common musical styles, but we can try to list the ingredients from which this post-industrial "dish" was cooked: both cyber jazz and idm, neoclassics and trademark technological ambient, old-school electronics and atmospheric new age, experimental and many more can be found …
Sci-Fi Music (Soundtrack To A Nonexistent Movie)
2010 release ** "As the title suggests, the new work by Russian masters of electronic soundscapes represents a score to an imaginary sci-fi movie. The musicians call themselves admirers of old-school Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk genres, and for a long time they have felt a desire to make some music inspired by soundtracks of sci-fi blockbusters from 70-80-s... Spaceship battles, alien colonies, teleportation and mysterious droid ceremonies are only part of the images created by this music. The album conta…

Action Printing
Originally released in 1975, Action Printing by Teddy Lasry is a visionary blend of jazz-fusion, synthesizer-driven experimentation, and cinematic soundscapes. A former member of Magma, Lasry crafts a universe where audacious syncopated rhythms and futuristic melodies evoke both film music and avant-garde electronics. The album’s genuine synth and clavinet textures, percussive grooves, and hypnotic repetition create an atmosphere that is both immersive and distinctly forward-thinking.

Vox Humana (Inventing Forgotten Languages)
2015 release ** Featuring: Zuriñe F Gerenabarrena, Alberto Prezzati, Alice Calm, Yuka Nagamatsu, Martina Claussen, Livia Giovaninetti, Sergey Suhovik, Yang Siyu."To use the terminology of the neuroscientist Steven Brown, who has made a particular study of music, both music and language involve a limited repertoire of discrete building blocks, organised into phrases and higher-order structures using combinatorial rules. Put simply, both organise individual acoustic elements using a kind of gramma…
inside-out, outside-in
2013 release ** "This is the first solo album of Madoka Kouno, an improviser who has been performing since the early 2000s, mainly in Tokyo. The two tracks were recorded live at Ftarri, Tokyo, in November 2012. In this performance she used tape recorders, a mixer, speakers, and digital tuners. The manipulation of empty tape recorders and careful changes in their positions cause subtle tremors and variations; and the rich, complex sound vibration radiates throughout the space."
Playout
2007 release ** Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies. "The Infant Cycle is a project of the Canadian artist Jim DeJong working under this name since 1992. It may seem surprising, but all these 15 years he remained in the underground of experimental music, and his name is well-known only to inveterate enthusiasts and explorers of this strange phenomenon. The project has put out 6 full-length albums on cassettes and CD-Rs, several singles and an amazing series of minions called "Clear Shape…
The Echoes Of Thiiings / Fadiiing Echoes
2005 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Oversized cardboard sleeve. "The Echoes Of Thiiings is a work that is made up of compositions that span a very long period of time that reaches up to 2001, but the album is as homogeneous as ever. Suspended in mid-air on a faint borderline between the Autechrian glaciers of Amber and the Central European minimalism of Kompakt (Kaito, Ferenc, Closer Musik, etc.), the compositions of Sparkle In Grey float in a diaphanous, light melodism that moves ser…
