Ten horned moses descended the mountain
Terrific triple CD set...Formerly of 1990's dark ambient pioneers Endvra. Three previous full lengths on U.K. label Cold Spring. Over three hours of music focusing on subtle changes that command attention and focus; imagine if Philip Glass composed a three hour drone piece... Triple disc set, each disc with its own artwork, held together by a custom band with genuine letterpress printing.

Plastic Palace People Vol. 2
2011 release ** The departure from Volume 1 starts here! Found sounds, field recordings and and more, echoing to you from way back in 1992. Straight out of Aachen!

Songs About Fucking Steve Albini
A collection of psychedelic love songs paying tribute to all things analog. Similar to older Kid606 releases like PS I Love You, GQ on the EQ, The Soccergirl EP and Why I Love Life. This album was carefully constructed to be the soundtrack for the peak 72 minutes of your next trip. The songs all linger on too long but just long enough, you hear voices you can't understand, but you will know what they're saying. Every track has its distinct identity and direction to completely throw you from one …

Innervation
2008 release ** "Maurizio Bianchi is more than a legend in contemporary electronica, he is beyond good and evil by now in what respects to creative effort, he has surpassed all genres and styles, has reinvented and deconstructed himself, has even recessed from doing music during years and has come back again fresh and rejuvenated. With a vast discography and extensive musical career as sound sculptor and textural colonizer Bianchi is more alive than ever. “Innervation” released by the excellent …
Hymn For The Sun (Works Of Somei Satoh)
This CD is markable reissue of very rare first LP of Somei Satoh. Like several other composers of his generation, Somei Satoh has an affinity for mysticism and meditation, and he attempts to convey stillness and timelessness in his extremely slow music. His works may be described as ambient, but their minor key harmonies and step-wise melodies seem more conventional than the blurred, unearthly sonorities usually found in that atmospheric genre. ALM Records issued some important LPs of Satoh's ta…

Armed w/ her tiny army of sonic weapons, she concocts a lavaflow of melodies only to then bury them underneath a flowing river of muck. Limited to 500.
Multitudes
Last copies available: there are a lot of good times happening in SoCal these days and the Stunned Records/Magic Lantern crew is responsible for a whole hell of a lot of it. Well, Super Minerals are an important cog in that machine and this duo's intentions are blaring loud and clear on their first proper CD, Multitudes. This duo of Phil French and William Giachhi may rip it up when they're moonlighting in Magic Lantern, but here they are burning it all down slow. This is an album full of zoned-…
Les mailles
2008 release ** "The duo of Dean King and Tomas Phillips came together in 2000 with the mere intention of exploring a shared aesthetic. Their aim was the achievement of a balance between digital and non-digital sound and a functional recognition of their differences in terms of utility and signification. Whilst computer technology remains central to their work, they make an effort to locate composition within a space of physicality. Hence the use of acoustic instrumentation and field recordings …
Invocation
1995 release ** Tuu were an ambient group that specialized in incorporating Tibetan instrumentation, among other regional elements, into their music. They tended to also use tribal or ritual ambient bits as well. From the mitical "Invocation" tape we offer a totally remastered music with some new tracks. As usual, Tuu's music has a unique touch: ghatam, tablas, flutes and pipes, harmonium and synthesiser meet togheter in a magic language."
Autumn Testament
2007 release ** "Comprised of Brad Rose (The North Sea) and Keith Wood (Hush Arbors), The Golden Oaks features road show magicians springing forth candles from wooded sanctuaries. Composed via the postal system, Autumn Testament is a hymn to the season of red, gold, and orange. A canopyn of leaves shelters the proceedings from the fog that threatens to obscure these sounds. This is a glorious combination of organic grace, blessed by the forests of past centuries and those still in their infant s…

They have since been collected under the title ‘Music Is The Music Language’ and kindly unleashed by new Finnish label Ikuisuus. This is the first CD release from Ben after a torrent of CDRs bearing his name came flowing from various corners of the globe throughout 2004/2005. The sounds contained within the present release were moul…
Charivari music
This third full-length by London improv collective Morphogenesis was released in 1996.

"Shorepoints" was recorded live at the LMC Festival 1994. Featu…
