The Royal Servants, forerunners of Eulenspygel, were formed in 1965 in Swabia/Germany. Starting up with beat music, they gradually turned to Blues Rock, finally Progressive Psychedelic and released one album named "We". In early 1971, they were one of the first bands to write their songs in German. So they changed their name into Eulenspygel the same year and the first new release was named "2", recorded at the Maschen studio near Hamburg. The front cover caused a scandal because of a burnt chic…

*Official remastered reissue* We Are Busy Bodies presents Drive Live. A live performance by South African group The Drive, founded in 1971 by Adolphus "Bunny" Luthuli and Henry Sithole.

Workaround is the lucidly playful and ambitious solo debut album by rhythm-obsessive musician and DJ, Beatrice Dillon for PAN. It combines her love of UK club music’s syncopated suss and Afro-Caribbean influences with a gamely experimental approach to modern composition and stylistic fusion, using inventive sampling and luminous mixing techniques adapted from modern pop to express fresh ideas about groove-driven music and perpetuate its form with timeless, future-proofed clarity.

The first complete CD of music by New York composer Jason Eckardt: four first recordings, After Serra, Tangled Loops, A Glimpse Retraced and Polarities, played by Ensemble 21, saxophonist Taimur Sullivan and pianist Marilyn Nonken.

First recordings of ten guitar pieces commissioned by Marco Cappelli from New York Downtown composers including Marc Ribot, Ikue Mori, Elliott Sharp and Otomo Yoshihide, played on an amplified classical guitar with sympathetic strings and MIDI control.

On Epiphanies, the first-ever "concept-compilation" to be released by Hallow Ground, artists such as Maria W Horn, FUJI||||||||||TA, Lawrence English, Siavash Amini and Norman Westberg, who all have previously released music on the Swiss label, were commissioned to pursue a non-rational creative process in approaching the phenomenon of epiphany through sound. In very different ways, all of the compositions on the compilation draw on the unique emotional powers of certain acoustic instruments, ob…

This compilation comes as a perfect introduction to vintage Italian Jazz. A fine selection of some of the best Italian mainstream jazz masters of the sixties and seventies such as the young trumpet genius of Enrico Rava, or maverick film music composer Piero Umiliani, whose jazz influence is well known worldwide. Throughout this record you will bump into both famous and obscure swing / bop stylists of the likes of bass player, Giorgio Azzolini, trombonist Dino Piana, tenor saxophonist Gianni Bas…

Third time’s a charm. Or a chant in this case. “Antologia De Música Atípica Portuguesa” is back. Following two sold out volumes, the unplanned trilogy comes to a close with chants and hymns whilst continuing to merge music genres and presenting them as a world building concept.  If the first two volumes were dedicated to work (“O Trabalho”) and regions (“Regiões”), it only made sense to close the trilogy with ceremonial music, connecting the real – each musicians’ creation – with a fantasied cel…

*2022 Restock.* The full title is Those Shocking Shaking Days: Indonesian Hard, Psychedelic, Progressive Rock and Funk 1970-1978. And as is probably obvious, it’s Now-Again’s attempt to present the untold story of Indonesia’s various underground 70s musical scenes. The anthology is presented as a 3 LP, which comes with a download card for the audio and a downloadable version of the booklet and also as a “mini-LP” tip on sleeve CD housed in an O-card and accompanied by a thick, perfect bound, 64 …

Stefano Scodanibbio's Oltracuidansa for contrabass and 8-channel tape (stereo version), built from almost six hours of contrabass sounds made with 26 methods of sound production, with the tape created at CCMIX in Paris.

Five first recordings of works by composer and harpist Anne LeBaron, 1975-1986, including Lamentation/Invocation, Rite of the Black Sun, Planxty Bowerbird, Noh Reflections and Concerto for Active Frogs, played by the New Music Consort and others.

Another absolute gem from Trunk, building on the ground covered by their mind-bending release from 2017, "Tapes 1" - delving into the sprawling musical archive of the cult Dutch film director, Frans Zwartjes - comes "Tapes 2". Taking this incredible sonic journey toward new depths, the LP provides a missing link within the history of the avant-garde, dramatically expanding the available perceptions of Zwartjes’ crucial musical output, while alluding to so much more.

Remarkable collaboration between inventor, synth pioneer and EMS co-founder Peter Zinovieff and preeminent cellist Lucy Railton, capturing a life-altering dialogue between two figures with a more than 50-year age gap between them, and with very little shared musical vocabulary. Pursuing common ground through an open-ended series of conversations and experiments, the pair somehow produce what we can only describe as creative alchemy; transforming banal conceptual triggers into a work seeping into…

Tanzprocesz presents Matt by Contumace. Lionel Fernandez temporarily abandons his Sister Iodine power trio to engage in a static bullfight with himself. Synthetic miniatures & frequency lacerations. Austere concatenations & petrified movements. 666 pairs of sunglasses in the country of eternal night.

*In process of stocking* Tanzprocesz presents the new Rirette self titled EP. Baroque electricity & laser gregorian chants, sound surveillance & futuristic raised fists. The dream soundtrack of a dystopian fiction.

First ever vinyl pressing of Yellow Swans’ incredible 2007 noise tempest, originally deployed on ultra-limited edition of just 60 cassettes back in 2007, ‘Drowner’ was one of the legendary duo’s fiercest deployments of scorched earth noise-gaze

How does music happen, and why does it happen sometimes? In June 2010, the TOT1.0 festival took place in Athens, small steps towards a greater affirmation of the small music community that has been blossoming in the hell-hole that is Greece’s capital. As part of the festival, two foreign improvisers (Ferran Fages and Grundik Kasyansky) were invited to take part in the proceedings. While we were at it, we got notice that Robin Hayward also happened to be in town during those days, for unre…

The great Malcolm Earl "Mal" Waldron makes his debut on Naked Lunch with a collection of his own compositions recorded in New York City during the early '60s in a trio formation with George Tucker on bass and Al Dreares on the drums. The composing skills of Waldron as a post-bop key figure are here on full display on both sides, although pieces like "Modal-Air," "Summerday," "Ollie's Caravan," and "Quiet Temple" really demonstrate the creativity of the trio's playing, with Tucker and Dreares lay…

**200 copies** "Farol is the sound portrait of a monumental architecture : the 25 Abril bridge in Lisbon. The 25 Abril bridge is a symbol for the Portuguese capital. Visible to tens kilometers around, it serves as a visual and noisy landmark. As we come closer, the buzz becomes stronger until it gets blatant, like the light from a lighthouse which becomes blinding when the coast is near. Farol est le portrait sonore d’une architecture monumentale. Ce field recording nous emmène au cœur du pont d…

This is a lively studio sessio…

**180 gram audiophile vinyl** No one could deny Scott Walker is an unpredictable artist. Once the lead singer for the Walker Brothers (famous for their string laden Sixties defining hits "Make It Easy On Yourself" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore") he released his first solo album Scott in 1967. Eschewing all Pop trends at the time, Walker stepped it up a notch, crooning with a nod to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and chansonnier Jacques Brel. A pretty bold move indeed, in a time when Pop mu…

 The mysterious pseudonym remains, in this, the second release in the Taste of Ra trilogy. The accompanying information describes the music as such: "When your ears are gates and they're wide open. Levels of sound will chase you down, collide, kiss and fight. In the yard that you now found; The past will meet the present, you're paying past with present. When you finally hear her voice that makes you leave your body behind and meet as gods...Sound will evolve and something that was once heard…

Francisco López is an artist who has continued to challenge listeners with the fringes of acoustic perception over his long career. Line is very proud to be releasing this epic compendium by an artist who has so significantly influenced our notions of listening. Presque Tout is a collection of works spanning 20 years of sonic activity. This 7 hour long edition presents some of the artist's most tantalizingly subtle pieces. Culled from many obscure and out-of-print editions, most of these composi…

As with many LINE releases, describing the hyperminimal microsounds of Bernhard Günter’s Monochrome Rust/ Differential is difficult like telling a sketch artist about the features of a ghost’s face seen from a distance – a long time ago – while you were drunk. Extremely vague yet undeniable! Two single-piece CDs are part of Günter’s “triptychon”, with Monochrome Rust (44:30) being the third piece (following Monochrome White and Polychrome w/Neon Nails). A digital degradation of Polychrome, the t…

* 350 copies limited edition on black vinyl, includes a one-sided insert * Continuing the reissue campaign of legendary synthesizer artist Enno Velthuys, we are proud to offer the Different Places LP. The original tape from 1987 was the second tape Enno produced for Exart and it was his last work before he disappeared into obscurity. By this time, he became disillusioned by the cassette network and his mental condition sadly deteriorated. With Hessel Veldman, label owner of Exart, getting more i…

Born and raised in Argentina, Morita Vargas is an experimental artist and producer based in Buenos Aires. She manipulates her voice through reverbs, delays and whispers, singing in a self-invented 'language'. The sound of Morita’s voice is a portal into her thriving, dreamlike world brimming, shimmering and beating with unrefined natural sensations which stimulate something primordial yet strangely contemporary. As far back as 2014 she began work on her first productions - early sketches which l…

An ethereal & surrealist ambient-pop hybrid with nods to library music aesthetics and partly onomatopoeic vocals. All songs written, performed and produced by Sasha Vinogradova and Alina Anufrienko. Recorded in Garnet village, Dmitrovsky region, Russian Federation. Remember you could be dreaming. Sinking or flying, sound-catching or singing. Witnessing a distant storm in silence, how it exposes purple clouds in unpredictable flashes. Hearing a submarine eruption and finding natal comfort in the …

Vomit Heat and International Music are artistic relatives. Both come from the Ruhr area in Germany, both love psychedelic rock music and at the same time are also involved in avant-garde projects. Heute is something like a concept single, a multi-layered journey full of hints, references and danceable psychedelia. The title track is taken from the upcoming Vomit Heat album Second Skin, to be released spring 2022.

*Printed inner sleeve and an additional lyric sheet. A download card via Bandcamp is also included.* This is the second album by Cologne-based musician Vomit Heat. The sound and structure of this ten-part masterpiece reveal themselves abstractly in an exceedingly dense surface, in dynamic rhythms, in driving bass runs, flat guitars and synthesizers, combined with a confident and multi-faceted voice. They resound with a density that Vomit Heat created from the countless layers of layered sound he…

Black Truffle present Landscape and Voice, a radical new work (and rare vinyl release) from major Japanese sound artist Toshiya Tsunoda. Undoubtedly one of the most influential artists working with location recordings since the 1990s, Tsunoda's work possesses a rigorously searching quality that sets him apart from his contemporaries. Tsunoda is known to many listeners for the subtle atmospheric poetry of his early Extract from Field Recording Archive series, which focused on vibrations recorded …

*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* Fred Frith is one of the world’s greatest originals on the guitar, a composer/performer who has been at the forefront of avant garde music since the early ’70s. Clearing is his first solo guitar recording in over twenty years (since his classic Live In Japan of 1981) and his first solo studio recording since his groundbreaking Guitar Solos of 1974. Of the three existing solo recordings by this quirky musical master, Clearing is undoubtedly the most dynamic, …

We are investigating the fine art of Field Recording in the latest issue of Electronic Sound and we have a superb double CD – more than two hours of brilliant music – to accompany the magazine.

**Edition of 200. 12" Vinyl LP. Risograph print cover** The ability to create moving music with no words, no beats and no conventional instruments is rare, but San Francisco Bay Area-based modular synth artist Austin Cairns - who records under the name r beny - is such an example. Belgian label Dauw are reissuing his first four albums separately and as a box set. Saudade was his third overall and the first of two full-lengths released in 2018 alone.

Via Lattea is the new recording project of the music and performance research ensemble Enten Hitti. The work takes inspiration from research on the “feminine” and from the matrilineal transmission of life. It is the result of various research trips to the places where the culture of the “sacred female” took shape over 4000 years ago: Cyprus, Crete, Turkey, Ireland, South Africa, Indonesia … The historical and geographical suggestions have been freely reinterpreted and transformed into musical pi…

For her latest release Vesper, she has been diving into her Christian heritage - the sacred music that has been a part of her family traditions for several generations.

We've talked to many of our most innovative field recordists for this month's cover feature, including Haiku Salut, Erland Cooper and Langham Research Centre.
