Chroma
2007 release ** "Split over seven tracks 'chroma' is a beautiful swarming forty five-minute suite of pieces. A warm, almost angelic hue of sound radiates from 'chroma' giving it a pure, optimistic feeling that only fades with the last dying notes. Weightless and saturated in it's waves of sound, all you have to do is listen.."
The Interstices Of These Epidemics
2025 stock In April 2017, Barnaby Oliver and I started recording with the aim of improvising long-form pieces made up of a restricted palette of gestures and sound sources. Throughout the next two years we came together sporadically as we continued this quest, working through various ideas and changing instrumentation. Our work was gradually refined done to what you hear on this album: a combination of harmonics arising from bowed metal bowls and violin (or piano), coalescing into other-worldly …
Sing and Play For the Guru
100 copies limited edition. Housed in high quality card stock with art silk screened by Alan Sherry at SIWA Printing * From their early '90s inception to the latter years of the 21st century's first decade, No Neck Blues Band appeared (to distant observers, anyway), to be something of the Platonic ideal for the "improvisational collective," in turn confounding ideas of authorship, recognition, and fame. A fragile symbiosis at best, the scrim of anonymity began to fray sometime around the turn of…

1992 release - hand-numbered edition of 500 copies with fabric cover ** "A curiosity from Portugal. 9 pieces pursuing unusual sound and odd structural arrangement. Half minimal, half beyond it. Unusual packaging. Very Limited."-Chris Cutler
Detwelvulate!
1994 release (VERY RARE) ** "This important and rare CD was produced by Jonathan and Elizabeth Glasier, Gary Morrison, and Brian McLaren. This is the only extant permanent document of Darreg's work. Includes original booklet with reproductions of tuning charts. Ivor Darreg (1917-1994) was interested in both just intonations (tuning systems based on the ratios between the frequencies of the pitches) and equal temperaments (tunings with pitches equally spaced through the octave, which require a d…
Elliptical Gloom
I have two stories behind this beast of a record. The first one is of course the oldest type of story around, the stranger comes to town. The stranger in this story is Zach Rowden. He shows up in Bucharest, once or twice, with his band (or duo if you want) Tongue Depressor. On one of the occasions he meets one of the locals involved in Bucharest avantgard circuits, Laurenţiu Coţac. And they decide to play together. They jam their double and electric basses. And it gets recorded. 23 minutes long …
Earth 2 - Special Low Frequency Version
2025 stock. Did you know there are horses on the cover of Earth's Earth 2: Special Low Frequency Version? There are at least three in the right hand corner, gathered inexplicably near a white canvas tent, a human possibly perched among its folds. As widescreen and vast as the cover may seem, those little details-the horses, the possible human, the faint wisp of white clouds-give it depth and wonder, something to which the imagination can return. Did you know that the music on Earth 2-repressed n…
Redux
Few available, sold out at source. Offset printed covers, gloss varnish. Stamped labels. Released October 2024 in co-production with Desastre. Tanz Mein Herz’s latest, 'Redux', out via Standard In-Fi, encounters the French collective pushing at the boundaries of folk tinged experimentalism, psych, and drone.

Dadamerica
*Limited edition of 100 copies.* BIN represses a 7” by Kain originally released in Denmark in 1985. It's doing Raw House with a punk-ish sound texture. (Or maybe it was Raw in the first place back then...). Limited to 100 copies.
alpha Orion

Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Vol. 2
Here is the second volume of protean solo improvisations recorded by Loren Connors in his artist's garret in New Haven, Connecticut. Like the first volume, it was committed to tape and pressed to vinyl in 1979. Never having seen a copy of this record, and having pressed it before we discovered a master cassette exists, this is as good a transfer as can be had for the nonce. Loren's chair creaks like rusty crow and the amount of random tapping and thumping during the original session just about d…
Outre-Nuit
Outre-nuit as Outre-noir by Pierre Soulages, the greatest nuances on subtle variations. The programme can be listened to in one go between Clara's two compositions, it's Xnoybis, an extraordinary performance by the great Giacinto Scelsi - a piece that makes you feel like you're listening for the first time - Giacinto Scelsi's Xnoybis (1964) is a journey amongst the reliefs contained within one single pitch. Written in three parts, the piece is an instinctive approach to the sound spectrum (the t…
En Transi | For Hammond Organ, Arp 2600 Synthesizer And Cello
*100 copies limited edition* Jorge Mantas, under his Druuna Jaguar moniker, returns with a new opus devoted to drone meditations and beyond. Entering the album as a neophyte, a deep descent awaits into a slowly evolving spectral composition for solo Hammond organ. Beneath its apparent simplicity, the attentive listening reveals a hypnotic state of austere beauty. Follows a poem for multi layered cello, prolonging the initial somber tone, but creating more dynamic edges through its acoustic conto…
Wiel
LINE is proud to present Wiel the first full length from the collaborative project VEND, by Joe Gilmore and Alex Peverett. Wiel is a selection of compositions focusing on a subtle, delicate use of acoustic and synthetic sound in both abstract and linear form. Shorter pieces of acoustic events flutter about the stereo field with almost accidental design and are related to Vend’s use of playful rhythmic compositions. The two longer compositions, Wiel vii/2 and vi/2 take their form from the sonific…
Arrival
Big Tip! Not to be confused with the In Camera who had a couple of post-PiL releases on 4AD in the 80s, this In Camera is the work of Christoph Heemann and Timo Van Luijk. Four years after they got Lost in Spice they reached the point of Arrival. An altar on the surface of the water is burning with flames. Behind it you can see a half of the Earth's globe, and on it there’s a bright throne. A pale, translucent ruler wearing a crown sits in the throne. The globe is surrounded by a ball of shadow…
50 Frequency And Amplitude Modulated Sine Waves Describing A Landscape / Trigram For Earth
Limited split LP, black vinyl in poly-lined inner sleeve. Edition of 500 units Trigram for Earth, by Flora Yin Wong, is inspired by traditional eight-sided Pakua mirrors and the trigrams inscribed on each of their edges. The function of the mirrors is to show the nature of reality as being composed of mutually opposing forces and modulate them. Here, energies seem to be manipulated to guide and direct our listening, lost in a maze of sound, diffracted to the point of merging with the artist's o…
