If there were a hall of fame for underground weirdo freak bands, Second Hand would be among the first nominees. Their second album, released on April 1st 1971 through Vic Keary's Mushroom Records, is no joke - it's one of the most unhinged, inventive and genuinely strange records to emerge from the British progressive underground.
Second Hand began life as The Next Collection in South London in 1965, with teenage school-friends Ken Elliott (keyboards, mellotron, harmonica) and Kieran O'Connor (d…
A long time in the works vinyl edition of one of our favorite New Zealand albums. Rachel Shearers astonishing debut as Lovely Midget was originally released as a CD on Corpus Hermeticum in 2000. Mastered for vinyl by Giuseppe Ielasi and pressed in an edition of 500 copies, comes with insert.
"This self-titled disc was the first full-length Lovely Midget offering, which I released on Corpus Hermeticum as a CD only in May of 2000. It followed a 10” on Ecstatic Peace a couple of years earlier. Rach…

Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House by Aaron Dilloway is a raw suite of field recordings captured inside a decaying Nepali fun‑park attraction. Blown speakers, mechanical screams, and ambient chaos fuse into a hallucinatory documentary of sound—half ethnography, half haunted collage.
Collective interplay is essentially about listening and giving space. If ever there was a credo for this ensemble recording, this would be it. Sometimes the soloist or a small group steps forward, other times they play as a large unit. This collective of musicians are connected through old and new friendships, a set of relations that has been formed through two decades of co-creation on stage and in the studio, and their new recording is a reaffirmation of that with an A-side of free improvisati…

Mark Turner is heard on three albums with Jakob Bro, all from Avatar Studios in New York, and enters the film in a session from Copenha…
**CD version** "Before his prolific activity in the field of music therapy, Agostino Nirodh Fortini also embarked on his own path in electronic music. In the early eighties he was a close collaborator of Walter Maioli and Fred Gales, at the time of the pioneering label Sound Reporters.Suoni Immaginari, released only privately on cassette in 1988, contains a wide range of keyboards and lots of ethnic field recordings assembled with an absolutely modern praxis ahead of its time. Nirodh imagines hi…
Of all the artists to fall under the sweeping banner of Kosmische / Krautrock - a movement which has benefited from continuous attention from the reissue market since the 1980’s, Georg Deuter remains among the most unacknowledged and under-appreciated. The reasons remain slightly behind reach - the likely consequence of his association with the New Age movement across the 1970’s and 80’s, the lingering effects of stigmas which were later applied that movement’s efforts, and the reissue ma…

Ahead of a brilliant new album landing in September, we have the fabulous Faithless on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound, and we're combining the issue with an exclusive red vinyl seven-inch featuring two almighty groovy tracks remixed by the band's co-founder Sister Bliss.

Huge Tip! Originally released in 2013 for the 40th anniversary of the cult 70’s horror film, only 500 copies of The Wicker Man 40th Anniversary Edition were pressed on black vinyl which have become highly sought after. One of the maddest soundtracks you'll ever buy – a strange mix of folksy tunes, sound effects, and odd noisy bits – recorded for the equally odd film of the same name!
The record is impossible to describe accurately, but it's a really dark one – strangely fragile at some moments,…
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* This project, entitled Transmissions From The Radio Midnight, started around 2006, when I acquired a Sony TCM F59 — an AM/FM radio and cassette recorder combined in a slim, handheld body. Since then, whenever I went on a trip, I would throw it into my suitcase and take it around with me. No matter which country I was in, upon returning to the hotel room I made a habit of listening to the radio into the late hours of the night. As soon as I would snuggle into bed…
