Korrelations
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* Completing a trilogy of dark ambient work, Korrelations is a summary of Beyond Sensory Experience’s sepulchral science, both a recollection of the arcane places explored on the previous works as well as a re-interpretation through the efforts of a number of remixers. There are more beats on Korrelations and not all of them are supplied by the remixers. Korrelations is one of those records which hangs in space after a fully realized body of work where the art…
The Berlin Requiem
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* Truly monumental in scale, a huge electroacoustic fresco. Symphonic orchestration bring forth a barrage of colossal sorrow. This is electronic music of exquiste tension and ecstatic release, moving from drones to explosive classicaly orchestrated peaks. The album symbolically resurrected, though perhaps simultaneously burried, Breht and Weill's Das Berliner Requiem.In the context of 'The Berlin Reqiem', Brecht's 'Berliner Requiem' might be seen as a quotatio…

Mouth=Maul=Betrayer
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* Part of the Radical Jewish Culture series put out by John Zorn's Tzadik label, Zeena Parkins' Mouth=Maul=Betrayer perhaps more than any other album lives up to the name of the series. This work is aggressive, energetic, intellectually complex, challenging, and highly structured. At times it reads like the soundtrack to a classic gangster film of the '40s -- the music is often not a stylistic match for that time period, but the feeling of violence and darknes…
Tracing The Magic
*In process of stocking.* "Tracing The Magic" is Ikue Mori's most varied and fabulous CD to date, and an absolute masterpiece. Seven pieces, each inspired by (and dedicated to) women artists whose powerful visions and and creativity led them to create well into the 80s and 90s: Joan Jonas, Louise Bourgeois, Agnes Martin, Judit Reigl, Leonora Carrington, Jakucho Sekuchi, and Toko Shinoda
The ensembles are some of today's most exciting musicians, including new friends (Charmane Lee, Sae Hashimoto)…
The Dystopian World Of J.G.Ballard
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* This compilation is notable in both its consistency and lack thereof. Its 12 tracks, spanning about 75 minutes, each involve some form of gritty drone, many with shimming or lilting looped structures. But these efforts have their own unique identities that make them all part of a greater whole. Contributors include Grey Frequency, Mario Lino Stancati, JARL, Eraldo Bernocchi, HLER, Hector M. Reis, Lars Bröndum, Joel Gilardini, vÄäristymä, Mombi Yuleman, and Tarme …

The Second Moon
*2022 stock.* For at least two centuries there has been ideas about another companion to Earth, a conception of a second moon orbiting Earth. Mankind has explored the Universe in many levels and directions, both close and very far away. We may think we should know all about the heavenly bodies next door, but it does not seem so. There has been a number of claimed moons of Earth at least since 1846 and the latest claim was done by Nasa as late as April 2016. However, no claimed object have had a …
Transformational Salt
*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* Slugfuckers sole full-length 'Transformational Salt', originally released in 1981 and now back on vinyl, is an absorbing slab of Australian DIY, dense with thought and fury. The album brings together reprobate dub poetics and thug-drubbing spite in a mangled collage of post-punk disjunct and proto-industrial churn.
Perceptions
Jonathan Fitoussi & Julie Freyri are Model Alpha. 8 years on after their first album Dimensions, Perceptions is the duo's second album and was entirely composed on analog synthesizers.

New Space
*60 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Granny Records presents New Space by Savvas Metaxas. Eight untitled short stories of modular synthesizers, field recordings and electronics, sitting well on the brinks of pop and abstract jazz aesthetics.
Echography
An echo involves both repetition and deconstruction: In the Classical myth, Echo isn’t merely imitating Narcissus but also answering him; the radiologic technique of echography uses the reflections of ultrasound to reveal deep structures. Similarly, each track on Echography responds to a single field recording, a distinct sonic impulse which is absorbed, refracted and deconstructed through an arsenal of effects and software patches. Yet, the characteristics of the original recordings can be trac…
Songs Of Undoing
Recorded mid-pandemic, Songs of Undoing cannot help but have a sort of mid- or post-apocalyptic overlying concept, lyrically dealing with themes of exodus and travel / wandering, self-reliance, the weight of history...with pointed references to two post-apocalyptic, societal / environmental collapse novels, Octavia Butler's "Parables of The Sower" and Kate Wilhelm's "Where Late The Sweet Birds Sang." Musically, the songs move between minimal slowcore and a sort of textural noise-rock or what mig…
Isola Santa
*100 copies limited release* A place that is real but unreal at the same time and so abstract, it is ideal to introduce ‘Isola Santa’, focused on the dualism matter-not matter, nature and artifice. Each track is the story of a dichotomy that, going through the most lyrical and ecstatic minimalism, is resolved in the sonic richness of the vibrating matter. The one who passes through these opposite suggestions, calculates, acts, creates and then stops reflecting his aspiration in a space of light.…
In Sadness, Silence and Solitude (expanded edition - 2021)
*Limited edition of 500 copies. 2022 stock* "Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.'In Sadness, Silence And Solitude', first released in ì 1997, is the fourth full-length album of raison d'être and is …

The Stains Of The Embodied Sacrifice (Expanded Edition 2021)
*2022 stock* "The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice" is not only vibrating on the surface of your skin. It is alive and breathing, a creature with a knife that cut deep wounds in your body while your soul shatters for air. It is a psychosomatic and transgressive disease oppressed by a compulsive behaviour manifested in dualities - the one of your body and mind - and states of metamorphoses - mind becomes flesh become wounds become fluids become stains. Play it loud if you want to become the marty…
