Searching
** 2021 Stock ** Searching was self-recorded in Ronald’s living room on a 4-Track Tape Recorder in 1984. The recordings symbolise his engagement to cross-over everything that was known to him musically at that time. Most importantly, all recordings reflect his personal way of searching; searching for his own characteristic sound. Rhythmical patterns meet well balanced distortion, shaping the music into a mirror of his character. He was part of several Dutch Latin and Jazz bands, including Cascad…
Al Oud
Hamza El Din's second album is similar in tone to his debut, featuring original compositions based on Nubian folk traditions, masterful oud playing, and soothing vocals. Serene and haunting, this was among the first world music recordings to make an international impact.
Music Of Nubia
Hamza El Din (July 10, 1929 – May 22, 2006) was an Egyptian composer, oud player, tar player, and vocalist. Performing on the oud (the Arabian short-necked lute) and the tar (the ancient single-skinned frame drum of the upper Nile), along with his gentle voice and original compositions, Hamza combines the subtleties of Arabic music with the indigenous music of his native Nubia. He has single-handedly forged a new music, essentially a Nubian/ Arabic fusion, but one in line with both traditions an…
Sketches Of The Red Districts
** Deluxe LP. Comes in a gatefold sleeve with 16 page LP sized booklet & download card** This new Laibach album, through a new/fresh interpretation, examines the conflict-ridden genesis of the band's formation in the industrial town of Trbovlje in 1980 and questions the band's aesthetic, sonic and ideological roots from the distance of time. The group Laibach was established, in fact, in the year 1980 in Trbovlje, an industrial coal mining town in the centre of Slovenia (YU). Upon its founding …
Teasing Chaos (Book)
Restock due soon * 224 pages 110 color and b/w illustrations * David Tudor (1926–1996) was one of the leading pianists and interpreters of contemporary music in Europe and the USA in the 1950s. His ability to respond to the indeterminate character of demanding scores by composers such as John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Christian Wolff and to execute their at times ambiguous instructions was unique and fascinated his contemporaries. In the early 1960s, he made the transition from interprete…
Musique pour le film d’un ami
First ever reissue of impossible to find French soundtrack. Mixing elements of spiritual jazz, free funk and dirty grooves, the album was mixed by Jef Gilson.
Issue 92: Röyksopp
Blimey. We like to think we've had some pretty striking covers over the years, but the photo of Röyksopp on the front of this month's Electronic Sound really is something else. We have a weighty interview with the unorthodox Norwegian group inside the magazine, plus a fantastic blue vinyl seven-inch from the duo to accompany the issue.
Röyksopp's massively popular 2001 debut album, 'Melody AM', made them the first new electronic superstars of the 21st century. Two decades down the line, Svein B…

John Mylotte (aka Sir Ashleigh Grove) is the leader of the ultra-mysterious cult group Metgumbnerbone, which also includes Richard …
Four Compositions
*2022 stock* "Any resemblance between these pointillistic chamber compositions and Schoenberg is purely coincidental. Delicate as to texture, curiously dispassionate as to mood, these mostly notated woodwind, string, and piano chamber works are motivically atonal, but tend to collapse into tonal cadences just to show you they know where they are. Like Ornette Coleman, Mitchell's playing with the tension between center and periphery, but in a milder, more abstract idiom and from the other directi…
The News Trilogy / Revolution Songs in an AI Environment
Nicholas Bussmann was born in 1970 and is a very diversified artist. He first made a name for himself in the real-time music scene as an improvisational instrumentalist, then he devoted himself to electronic music and now he moves quite freely between artistic styles. His works are usually highly praised and are mostly part of exhibitions or other types of total artworks.The News Triology fills the first page of this work and is thus the first part of this extraordinary project released on vinyl…
Clifford Thornton Ketchaoua To Scorpio By Arthur Jones "Revisited"
Clifford Thornton and Arthur Jones have remained largely unknown ever since, except to collectors who treasure those early Parisian records and the world they evoke. We know little of what they did in later years, but if Hemingway was right, “If you are lucky enough to live in Paris [read “jazz”] as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you”. Thornton died in Switzerland in 1989, largely forgotten in his “home” country. Jones died in New York City in 1998, hi…

Software For People: Collected Writings 1963-80
Second Edition. Pauline Oliveros's much sought-after 1984 publication Software For People: Collected Writings 1963–80 is back in print. Originally published in 1984, it’s an anthology of essays that covers a broad range of the US composer, philosopher and accordionist’s interests. “I am publishing this collection of twenty-six articles partly to show the growth and change in my attitudes, interests and perceptions over the seventeen year period presented,” explains Oliveros in her introduction. …
Tunes Without Measure or End
AMM and their CDs have an almost comfortable familiarity. The trio's personnel has remained fundamentally the same since the early '80s when pianist John Tilbury joined the remaining founders, drummer Eddie Prévost and guitarist Keith Rowe. Every two or three years they release a CD, usually a single uninterrupted improvisation, about an hour in length, taped in performance. The only way in which these two CDs tamper with that practice is that they were both released in 2001. 'Tunes Without Meas…
