Loose Connection
*Limited edition of 100 copies. Includes 2 postcards.* Work from this French guitarist has been reviewed before, primarily his work with Sun Stabbed and the, quite frankly brilliant named La Morte Young, but also a solo release (Vital Weekly 1095). The previous one was primarily electronic, but he solely uses an electric guitar for this new one. "This LP present tracks recorded at home for the neighbourhood pleasure during lockdown", and unfortunately, no reactions from the said neighbourhood we…
Mélancolie du Voyage
Clouded veiled times, every minute lasts, all men have secrets, here are ours. Ten meditative miniatures, rugged ready-mades running through a strange sensation called life, oscillating beyond harmony and poetry. Use it as a tranquilizer, employ it as a painkiller. Shaped for fans of Loren C., Dr.Benway, département Ardèche, the old man on the corner, questions, answers, the sun, and the mad dizzy world.
Wisps
On 5 April 2022 I e-mailed Anne about working on a follow-up to our album Oehoe (released by Where to Now? Records in 2020). On April 7 she recorded a bunch of violin, viola and vocal improvisations at home. Gorgeous sounds and melodies, a gold mine to work with. The material basically wrote itself. I started editing and adding electronics (mainly virtual instruments, I don’t own a real harp), and by the end of that month, the album was finished. I always found the music that Anne and I make a b…

In the early days of spring 2018, Theo Bleckmann and Joseph Branciforte retreated for t…
Healing Music
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* "Disclaimer: Joachim Nordwall is one of those artists whose work I've been following for a long time, from the spastic no wave of Kid Kommando to the sprawling drone rituals of Skull Defekts, from the industrialized meditations of Saturn & The Sun, his collaboration records with the likes of Mats Gustaffson or Mika Vainio, to his multifaceted solo outputs, under his own name or the Idealist moniker... well you might get the point: I am a fanboy. So I write from a…

Die Höfner Akten
Tip! New collaborative work by two veterans of the European experimental scene, Dirk Serries + Asmus Tietchens. Dirk Serries and I have long been colleagues and friends. Since the 1990ies we have exchanged sound materials to be reworked and published on an on and off basis.

Unaffected Mixes ±
A collection of unreleased mixes by R.N.A. Organism, a unit representing the postpunk era in Japan that is gaining momentum for reevaluation. The unit's only LP, "R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O" (Vanity 0006, 1980), featured supercheap alternative-dub with various gadgets against a backdrop of urban aphorism and electrominimalism. Their sound has been described as "Japan's original mutant pop" mainly overseas, and their reissue of Vanity's work has been a hot topic.
In 2020, they released "Unaffected Mix…

Mueller and Schulze began releasing La Vie Electronique ("The Electronic Life"), a series of three-CD sets that reissued all the material previously released in these long-deleted box sets, plus a few unreleased tracks, with all the material put back in chronological sequence (the Edition sets mixed things up, time line-wise). Volume 1 covers the years 1968-1972 and is mainly very interesting. One highlight is "I Was Dreaming I Was Awake and Then I Woke Up and Found Myself Asle…

In addition we have piano, drums, vibes, guitar - and clarinet as the first ti…
