A Doughnut's End
** restocked** At times barely more than breathing, at others breaking into full-throated song, A Doughnut's End is a highly concentrated sequence of solo improvisations that captures the full range of Phil Minton's vocal powers."Many of the sounds on the album’s 15 short tracks are unpleasant, but they’re all the more powerful for it. This work is in no way deprived of wonder, and you have to marvel at the breadth of what Minton can do. “Breaking News” bleeds from high pitched warbling to m…
No Nihilist Spasm Band In Mulhouse
The nihilist spasm Band began in the summer of 1965 in London, Ontario as an informal kazoo band of friends making a soundtrack for a film by the late artist Greg Curnoe. We soon built new, louder electric instruments. We played noise music because we did not know how to play real music. In 1969 we toured Europe for the first time, playing at the Paris Biennale des Jeunes and at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, England. It was not until 2004 that we toured Europe again, playing at V…
Transitions
Having rattled the hinges with last year’s “In the Blink of an Eye†7-inch, C S Yeh (C. Spencer Yeh) flings open the door and steps inside with Transitions, his first full-length album of songs after years of establishing himself as one of Earth’s top humans in experimental music and unbound improvisation, both alone and in collaboration, on record and onstage. The effect Transitions has on you may or may not depend on your familiarity with Yeh’s past work; regard…
Monotonprodukt 02
Fully re-mastered from the original tapes by Matt Colton.« Although Monoton dried up in 1992, its entire output consisting of a handful of mini-albums and limited-run EPs, its minimalist electronica appears increasingly ahead of its time. The sole work of Austria's Konrad Becker, it was a key influence on the brand of Eurotronica found on labels from Kompakt to Mego. Becker began hooking up analogue rhythm boxes and tone generators in late '70s Vienna, churning out a terse music of bleeps, …

Sub Rosa presents the fifth volume of the highly-acclaimed and successful Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music series.

1975/1978 LP
**restocked, very last copies** "two things make this record so special: it fills a void in Miles' discography as during this period he stayed away from the scene for a while and 2nd these unissued tracks have such an unique sound that you'll not hear anything like that on any other Miles Davis albums (here he plays mostly organ). so futuristic and ahead of it's time (as it'll probably be also in the next few years)." punzmann

Astro Love & Infinite Kisses

Live at the Shaboo-Inn (part II)
***restocked, very last copies** "2nd and final set from that legendary concert, here's a review i found on the net about part I: Unbelievable previously unreleased live electric Miles blow-out from January 1974: this is a mind-blower, with the electric group at an insane high energy over-amped peak. Not many live recordings exist from 1974, the same era as Dark Magus etc. Here Miles is paired with Dave Liebman, guitarist Pete Cosey, Reggie Lucas, Michael Henderson, Al Foster and Mtume and the f…
