Alice in Wonderland
2024 stock. Alice In Wonderland, by Los Angeles, California composer and musician Randy Greif, is a gripping and imaginative telling of Lewis Carroll’s classic story. Using electronics and altered acoustic sounds, along with more traditional instruments, Greif creates a dark and beguiling atmosphere that captures the listener’s imagination. The spoken text is deconstructed into indecipherable phonemes, or laid into rhythmic, musical structures roughly approximating songs. At times, the sonic bac…
The Poisoner
2024 stock. Beginning their recording career in the late Seventies and early Eighties with the extreme noise of Knees and Bones (Multimood, n√©e Psychout), Controlled Bleeding quickly established themselves as notoriously unpredictable purveyors of new music, exploring the realms of hard dance music, nightmarish electro-acoustic soundscapes, mournful liturgical hymns of faith, and dark orchestral scores. A diverse catalog of CDs including Trudge (Wax Trax!), Golgotha (Staalplaat), Songs from the…
Nations Of I
*2024 stock. 250 copies limited edition* The music on this album sprang out of my work for the Magam project and consists of 3 suites –2 of which have, in earlier stages, been used for a butoh and a dance performance respectively– that cover the distance from aleatoric to improvised to composed music... What I like most about it is its playfulness.
The album title was initially inspired by Kurt Vonnegut's concept of "a nation of two" (in "Mother Night", 1962):“[...] 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴…

The Morfi have two mouths and two noses. One mouth is for communication and the other for singing. Why two noses, nobody knows...
Terra Morfi is a soundtrack of the strange lives of these creatures. It is an album of psychedelic fairytale mu…
A Wayside Shrine
*300 copies limited release* "In early 2000s New Zealand, Little Skull started as a small project. Smallness was perhaps the defining characteristic. Lathe cut 7”s in vanishingly small editions, the intricate, fiddly covers hand- crafted with what one would have to assume were very small hands. Or just with the aid of tweezers perhaps. The labels of these records provided no information beyond an illustration of a small – little even – skull. The music was also mysterious and miniaturized but al…

Rorschac 2 or “Lolophophora” tells the story of Lolo, an expert magician and spy of Hollywood. "...Aspetta!" Caught up in an abstract rapture through Hollywood’s Babylonian magic scene, our protagonist finds herself on the run, (or shall we say, on the prowl).

Weaving an intricately detailed tapestry of meditative, spiritual jazz and dream electronics, Maxwell Sterling’s astonishing second album "Laced With Rumour: Loud-Speaker of Truth" blooms in the cracks between Alice Coltrane, Talk Talk and Kara-Lis Coverdale, gently coaxing us into a trance-like reverie where the real and artificial morph into one pulsating organism.
