Fluid To The Influence
LP version. Chris Abrahams returns with Fluid To The Influence. Building upon the foundation of his previous three editions for Room40, Abrahams charts out a divergent course through lilting piano flows, distended organ passages, thunderous electronic eruptions, and focused concrète explorations. Fluid To The Influence spans a huge spectrum of sound, each movement calling forward to the next in a flowing motion that demonstrates Abrahams's commitment to and interest in the album as an artistic f…
Dash/Anti-clockwise
Scathing sound by John Wiese and Corydon Ronnau, joined by Lasse Marhaug and Will Strangeland of Tearist and Sivler Daggers, cautiously partitioned into short bursts of truly obliterated hardcore. Ruptured and bleeding out, heavily. Seventeen bonus tracks not on "Dash" LP. Edition of 200.
We Were the Hum of Dreams

Including Rin Howell for the voice and Cody Yantis on sax like previously. This second album is a perfect continuity with their first collaboration, a delicate and detailed piece with a dusty out of time atmosphere.Originally from Kentucky, since 15 years, Offthesky is the prolific musician Jason Corder who currently resides in Denver, Colorado in the United States. His…
Vraen Centrum
Laaps presents Vraen Centrum by Dag Rosenqvist. "Thematically the album is a reflection on growing up. It’s about those inner worlds that you construct as a child and how you mythologize events to make sense of things. It’s also about nostalgia and how, even though nostalgia is an arranged and polished image, it can sometimes be a great comfort. The past and the present exist simultaneously in all of us. What we were is part of who we are today. It defines us. And perhaps the act of growing olde…

Austerity Dogs
Sleaford Mods is J. Williamson - vocal/all writing, and Simon Claridge on computer! He used to be in bands but got sick of the bullshit, so he started this amazing punk/hip-hop/comedy racket. Just about the most brutal and bleak LP we’ve ever released. Debut vinyl by Nottingham’s finest. No compromise, no refunds. Please acquire with due caution : this is not an extreme electronics record !
Tiromancy
New recordings and a couple of their unreleased tracks. Another Japanese CD from 1997 by this oblique improv collective. In some ways, just as traditional as a bunch of Sun Ra acolytes, in others more bent than actual acid casualties, Tiromancy splashes down swaddled in rainbow dots, early Playboy chic, laughing gas electronics, conflicting vapors, surround-seep ooze-adelia, and highly agile mental capabilities. Japanese import.

Flame desastre
Sister Iodine are an experimental rock band from Paris. As a trio, they've been creating a cacophony of savage noise and primal free rock exploration since the early 90's, releasing two albums on the French imprint Semantic before taking a ten year hiatus to return in 2007 with the brutal 'Helle' LP. 'Flame Desastre' was originally a vinyl only release on the Premier Sang label earlier this year, but has been picked up for a CD reissue backed with extra tracks by Peter Rehberg's noble Editions M…
Insomni
Slowdive's Simon Scott swallows us whole with the majestic 'Insomni', his debut for Ash International. As the album title implies, this album deals with sleep, or a lack of it, and most particularly the liminal spaces between light/dark, waking/dreams, and natural/noumenal realms."Couldn't sleep... arose to forage for sound. The hum of the fridge encouraged further investigation of hidden, domestic sounds; the fish tank, DVD player, a broken laptop... Dawn and morning light allowed more so…
About Trumpet and Saxophone
About Trumpet and Saxophone brings together New York based trumpeter Nate Wooley and London based saxophonist Seymour Wright for a series of intensely material duo improvisations that inhabit the tricky overlap between these two instruments. Recorded on their second encounter, there's an intriguing balance of freshness and reflection in the music here, one that matches their deep knowledge of improvised music's various pasts as well as their commitment to experiment and discovery.
Not Knowing
**200 copies** "Not knowing is my fifth accordion solo and a new challenge for the instrument itself, here treated as an object in space. Whereas in the other recordings the centre of attention was put in materiality, structure or deconstruction, with microphones extremely close to the instrument, almost inside it, here the point of inflexion is the architecture and space as an essential part of the recording. It's still with an exploratory intention that I try to blur the limits of what to expe…
La Demeure; Il Y a Peril en la Demeure
La Demeure; Il Y a Péril en la Demeure is the opening to a five-part complex of works by artist Grischa Lichtenberger. "La demeure" -- "the residence" -- could be understood as referring to a sense of intimacy in the possibilities of isolation. The focus of the work is the joy of being isolated and having the chance to work, explore, and, most importantly, experiment, free from economic, temporal, or social restraints. The tracks and their components are constantly broken, disassembled, an…

A modern John Carpenter in a trance.
Two Gongs (1971)
The hour-long Two Gongs fills the entirety of [this] disc with its ethereal, droning psychedelia. While written in 1971, the '89 recording documented here features Chatham, along with fellow composer Yoshimase Wada coaxing heavy, overlapping tones out of a pair of Chinese gongs. The instruments buzz and hum, moving in waves from deafening rattles to soft, muted drones. The monstrous noise that Chatham concocts is far more akin to the seismic crashes of monstrously distorted guitar feedback than …
