Offerings
**200 copies** Gods of Rain explores textural improvisation for electric guitar and percussion/vocals. Brooding, arcane and foreboding, it navigates the turbulent waters of dark ambient and more abstract electronic music, swamped in swashes of caustic improv.
Recorded in Berlin in 2005 without overdubs and live in the studio, this is electrifying listening that knows no boundaries. At times meditative and filigree-like, at others abrasive and drenched in explosions of molten lava. The ultimate m…

With the help of Siegmar Fricke, the work was restored and is now brought to light in a official and defini…
The Sacral Inhabitat
**200 copies** "It begins. A slow mournful droning as if the very world itself is emitting a long low sigh of anguish. An anguished moan that rises and echoes into the vast subterranean chamber. Imperceptible and indistinct, a gentle tolling of bells emerge from the dark murky sonic abyss that is beginning to slowly unfurl around you. It’s almost as if this almost unobtrusive nebulous pealing of bells is the bell of Charon, sounding as he slowly approaches you on his rust coloured skiff. Upon th…

The Current Inside
*Edition of 300.* The Current Inside, Marja Ahti's sophomore album for Hallow Ground, plays with the theme of currents - connecting and animating movements in the form of air, water and electricity. It approaches sound as a poetic medium, focusing both on the experience of sound as form and energy and on a loosely narrative arc, suggesting a riddle on the relations between the sounds. It implements alternative as well as intuitive tunings, analog and digital synthesis, recordings of sonorous spa…

KRAAK's 10s & 20s
*200 copies** "Presenting a condensed survey of KRAAK’s recent past and immediate future through a selection of tracks that chart the breadth of the label’s output. The 18 songs contained within this unassuming piece of plastic speak for a generation of artists whose contribution to the legacy of KRAAK is in no way insignificant: the faded melancholia of Ignatz, the cosmic outlook championed by Köhn, the bejeweled exotica of Bear Bones, Lay Low, the brainwave tingling of Floris Van Hoof... All o…

Mr. Nightbird Hates Blueberries
"A dark comedy or a folk drama about drunk birds, mocking spiders, empty bottles and lost souls. Starring David E. Williams, Lloyd James, Sonne Hagal, Future Whirl, Die Weisse Rose. A strange manuscript, telling a tale about some bizarre characters, found somewhere in a forgotten cellar and hidden by countless broken bottles, was the inspiring spark for this dark comedy or folk drama-as the subtitles suggest-set to music in order to show how love can be a faint illusion and the deepest of all wo…
Dix Ailes
"Dix Ailes is a musical proposal for 2 female voices, 1 percussionist, 1 electronic device and 1 place with high reverberation. Between minimalist music and pure pop, Dix Ailes plays on an acoustic illusion, that of making indistinguishable the origin of the sound (instrumental, loudspeaking or architectural), based on work on harmonics, frequency vibrations, the physical resonance of the place, psycho-acoustics.Essentially centered on the voice, Dix Ailes addresses the notions of empty and full…
Flues of Disappearing Sand
**90copies** When Dylan Henners debut EP A Reason for Living was released through Phantom Limb in February 2019, it became quite clear that there was more to discover than what the record made us listen to.

Besides his own work, Dylan Henner remixed other musicians such as Oliver Coat…
The Last Five Minutes
Following an input by Marco Pandin, Alberto Carozzi recorded four minimal pieces on electric guitar, improvising on the concept of playing as less as possible.

He then mixed the whole album, entitled The Last Five Minutes, an invitation to manage tension through patience.

Structure of Water
**60 copies, tip!** "Oxygen, water, bubbles, outflows, movements and bends of water, the dance of round bubbles that replace each other. They fly around stretching and thickening. Such is the structure of water. Water is another level of consciousness inaccessible to human understanding. To understand the water you need to merge with her and become her."Music: metra.vestludDesign: KmerlRecorded at Yekaterinburg, Russia
Corridor of Daylights
**Deluxe edition** Black Editions present the first ever vinyl edition of Go Hirano's third album, Corridor of Daylights, originally released in 2004. Corridor of Daylights is a quiet work of dreamlike brilliance.

Scenes From the South Island
Expanded reissue of New Zealand guitar pioneer Roy Montgomery's rare and revered full-length debut, Scenes From The South Island, originally released in 1995 by West Coast experimental / space rock label Drunken Fish. Recorded on both coasts on a pair of Tascam 4-tracks, the album is alternately wistful, windswept, skeletal, shredded, and strange. Solo guitar figures flow and fray through echo and empty space, evoking loss, long roads, and low-lit landscapes.Montgomery's own memories of this era…
