Where Is Brooklyn? & Eternal Rhythm
Temporary Super Offer! These sessions were recorded exactly two years apart, in early November 1966 and 1968 (both were released in 1969). While they can’t be called “bookends” by any means, they do bracket a remarkable period in Don Cherry’s musical evolution, on his journey from the more strictly jazz environments, as adventurous as they were, of Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler and others, to a philosophy that embraced many non-Western traditions. While these included various African forms, espe…
О Происхождении Мира
2006 release ** "Fourth official work of this Russian dark-folk band. A symbiosis of classic European dark-folk and dark-ambient. Unhurried guitar fingerings and piercing alto interwoven with dark drones. Doomed and furious voice declaiming about the origin of the world. Music for thoughtful listening.."
Night Watch
1998 release ** "Debut by Dutch art rock/folk band. Fine sensitive folk songs, Georg Trakl poems set to music, acoustic pop ballads, a progressive feel throughout. A multi-faceted album that contains all original material ranging from the 3 minute pop song to the 7 minute tribal folk suite and encompasses influences of Kurt Weill, British folk rock in a Comus/Spirogyra vein, 70's avantgarde art rock (Lindsay Cooper). The album is hard to classify, but achieves a wholeness due to the band's songw…

The Crooked Pool
2008 release ** Numbered edition of 120 copies. "The Crooked Pool compiles two discs of hitherto unreleased folk-magic from March 2007 to March 2008. It was recorded among cliffs, moors, streams and woods while seeking convocation with the genii locorum of the Yorkshire moors. The Crooked Pool contains eleven psychogeographic explorations with harmonium, recorder, flute, psaltery, violin and guitar. 80 minutes of feral drones, wordless hymns, death dirges and quiet rustic meditations."
Alterity
1999 release ** "Somewhere between Autechre and Haujobb lies Xingu Hill. If there were an industry award for sleeper of the year, Xingu Hill might just win with this delicious silicon tote of complicated electonic structures. With a scattered discography of scarce releases, Belgium native John Sellekaers manages to protrude from the woodwork on the increasingly notable Ant-Zen sublabel Hymen, for this beautifully composed 50 minute daydream. Packaged in a canvas wrap of exquisite artwar courtesy…
The Wondrous Journey Through The Catacombs Of Life
2009 release ** "The Wondrous Journey Through the Catacombs of Life is the second album of Musterion, following the highly acclaimed debut album The Black Lodge (2005), built upon complex and obscure composition techniques and musical innovation, and it drags the listener on a brilliantly imaginative and frightening journey that combines elements of dark ambient, surrealism, absurdity, Holyism with the help advanced structural and theoretical considerations in terms of the composition.Linking to…
Heaps of nothing
2010 release ** "The second album from Australian band Naked On The Vague, who have doubled in size for this batch of new material. The tone is characterised by dark and fearsomely heavy garage-punk, with a wafer-thin coating of distortion lending a little extra bite to the band's already vicious dynamics. "Bleak, unrepentant, withering and droll, Heaps of Nothing is a 21st century codification of the gallows wit and mesmerizing otherworldliness of (Dub Housing-era) Pere Ubu, Primitive Calculato…
Opus Tartari
2011 release ** "'Opus Tartari' is the latest album of Italian dark ambient project which - in its leader's own words - after years of esoteric and alchemist studies decided to transfer his own experiences into music. Ouroboros should be then treated as a medium used in search for its own philosophical stone. Compositions included on the album lead the listener into the world of antique and medieval times due to their tunes and the singing in Latin. Mystical, slightly sacral character of the tra…
Zodiac
2002 release ** "Andrew Lagowski's dark ambient soundscapes are nothing less than a penetration into the most hidden and sun-drenched aspects of human psycho-geography. Other projects include work for S.E.T.I., Lustmord, and Graeme Revell. "Zodiac" is Lagowski's fourth full-length album as Legion, which owes its name to the infamous "Zodiac Killer" of the 1970s. On five tracks, approximately 53 minutes long, Lagowski celebrates a highly fatal confrontation with himself and the forces of darkness…
Figures
2006 release ** "On this album, in 12 songs presents relaxed sort of dark folk rock from France. From first minutes, music full a melancholy and romanticism, will transfer you deeply, to the farthest, warm, and probably for a long time the lost memoirs. Where it will want to come back again and again... Guests musicant Eric Roger (ex-Sol Invictus, Gae Bolg)."
Gehörgänge
2002 release ** "Psygram is Siegfried Fischer (voice, accordion, samples, percussion) and Dirk Grützmann of Temps Perdu? who is responsible for real time audio processing, electronics, loops and engineering. The group started around the same time as Temps Perdu?, with the music focused on surreal ambient-industrial soundscapes and hypnotic live improvisations in a studio setting with influences of electroacoustic music. "All our music is recorded in those magic moments where emotions, dreams and…
Welcome To The Weird World
2013 release ** "Plutonium Baby was born in the south-east quadrant of Rome, where Black Guitarra, formerly of Motorama, joins Fil Sharp and Feith Da Grave of the new-wavers Cactus. A guitar, a synth, the drums and above all a lot of reverb and distortion on the voices: Jay Reatard shouting at Suicide and Screamers, with the addition of Pussy Galore chewing on the B-52's. The result is an unusual mix of punk, wave and garage, expertly blended by Alex Vargiu (Bloody Riot / Bingo / The Dissuaders)…
Live at Cafe Amores
Edition of 300. Kang Tae Hwan plays alto sax with a rawness that's usually reserved for the tenor – a fantastic sound that really comes through beautifully here in this solo set of improvisations! The material was recorded around the same time as Kang's brilliant (and few) recordings for the Japanese market – and the long-overdue presentation of this performance comes as a much-needed accompaniment to his small catalog – the kind of record that boldly, brilliantly documents a completely unique t…

It was a magical Autumn day in Vilnius - Mr. Howard Riley was giving his rare solo performance at St. Catherine’s Church.The outcome is this two LP set of deep musical contemplation, freedom and lyricism. After the concert Howard Riley said that this was his best solo performance in many years.
