Curve
Keplar releases a vinyl reissue of 2001’s »Curve,« the second album released by Frank Bretschneider on Mille Plateaux under his real name. »Curve« saw him pick up on the underlying concept of 1999’s »Rand,« but gave his explorations of the sonic and stylistic range of electronic music notably more space and time to unfold.
Merging compositional minimalism with sonic complexity, the eight tracks display an affinity for the production techniques of dub music, which had already been a major referen…
In The Pale Moon Light
Originally released as a cassette on Palemoon Productions by a 12-year-old Henry Mallard in 2011. This cassette reissue includes an 8 page booklet of photos and liner notes from Henry Mallard, his mother Margaret Rial, and Ron Lessard.
Tengger
The album represents an opportunity for the globetrotting family trio to explore their origins. Tengger means ultimate expanded sky in Mongolian. The album finds Tengger accepting the mood of the world, using the motion of wind and waves as sonic inspiration. Tengger’s interest in cosmology reflects in their outlook and lyrical approach. In their words “the sound starts from the breaking dawn and circulates around until the night sky and the milky way.”Opening single "Panaptu" offers a reverent …
Radial
»Radial« is the result of a vivid creative merge between Esplendor Geométrico and AtomTM. A transparent diamond formed by a heavy implosion. Its underlying massive mechanics are covered by a crystal surface made to cut reality in half. Just one letter short of “radical”, this album is no less than exactly that - an orgy of powerful, blunt repetition and hyperbolic simplicity, a profound evocation of nothingness and its surroundings. The tracks of »Radial« are the exact expansion of sonic ideas t…
Ödipus, Herrscher
»Ödipus, Herrscher« is the debut release of Berlin-based, Japanese sound artist Mieko Suzuki on raster. It is the result of a composition commissioned by Schauspielhaus Bochum.
Drifting
*300 copies limited edition* ‘Drifting’ is the very first collaboration between Andrew Chalk and Daisuke Suzuki, which has remained unsurfaced since then-their private recording in 1996. In early 1996 Daisuke sent Andrew a DAT tape which included some unedited pieces that he recorded with found objects in his garden. Those fragments of recordings inspired Andrew to make a spontaneous recording and he made a live mix directly to cassette recorder with his instinct and archaic vision. ‘Drifting’ i…
Sillmjölke
Big Tip! *First time vinyl pressing of Engürdetz' 1988 release "Sillmjölke", originally accompanied by Lille Roger's "Rock N Roll 85-86". 500 copies. "Sillmjölke" differed from the duo’s previous outputs. The tracks had moved closer into the formula of a ”standard” song formula & the influences from British industrialists such as Whitehouse had become more apparent, along with sections that made your mind venture to the freer & ambient sides of Swell Maps (even if they didn’t necessarily know wh…
Nightshade

All of this, either in performance or recording, is embedded with a spirit tha…

Tip! *200 copies limited edition* Debut full length release from the UK/Italian duo of Ecka Mordecai and Valerio Tricoli, working together as Mordecoli.

The results of a red wine induced r…
Oxygen
Angelides presents his most personal work to date through his new album Oxygen, released on Ancestor. Becoming a father to twins in 2020, he channels the emotional dimensions of bringing new life into the world while processing his daughter’s diagnosis of cerebral palsy. ‘Stepping into parenthood for anyone is chaotic, and her condition felt like another foreign, unknown experience,’ he reflects. ‘Writing Oxygen out of that place was an embodiment of “life is messy” but distilling it into someth…

It's embellished with undertows of processed vib…

Tawamure
*2023 stock* Modern Obscure Music turns to Japan for inspiration. Suemori debuts on the Barcelona based imprint with an album of striking textures and sounds.

Jake Muir's latest set of soft-focus, sensual electro-concrète, dissolves X-rated gay sleaze flick soundtracks into a shimmering suite of subdued orchestral flourishes and surreal cosmic psychedelia.
Beautiful Age
*300 copies limited edition* ‘Beautiful Age’ is SSIEGE’s reflection on adolescence and the gauzy fidelity of memory, using an electro-acoustic array of piano, samples, tape loops, synths and field recordings to evoke feelings of longing for the eternal spring of youth. The 10 tracks return to the palette of saturated colours found in his well received 2019 debut LP, ‘Fading Summer’ and subtly calibrate the contrasts to evoke the entropic siltiness of memory recall. Largely shy of fixed rhythms a…
