From the Host of Late-Comers
"From the Host of Late-Comers represents the latest challenge manifested by Plastic Palace People, the duo of Jim O'Rourke and Christoph Heemann, who have been collaborating continuously (even though in a largely unnoticed fashion) since 1989. Previous Streamline releases from Mimir contain some of their earlier work; Plastic Palace People first saw release in 2011. After two releases in quick succession, it has been a long wait for more, and finally here is a recent piece of work from the…

Bells Studies
Edition of 400 copies. Includes original photos from the recording sessions. High up in a tower, accessible only by a spiral staircase that led to a concrete platform above the whole city, Charlemagne Palestine's "HellsBells" became the sonic mainstay of 53rd Street and 5th Avenue, NYC, from 1963 to 1970. In 1963, while attending The High School of Music & Art in New York, the 15-year-old Palestine was asked if he'd be interested in playing a 26-bell carillon at the St. Thomas Episcopal C…
Havet
Aweseome!!!!!This is the Goodiepal's long lost first ever album, recorded in 1990 and never before published. For years even the Goodiepal considered this to be lost, but he found the master some months ago, so we're proud to be releasing this in all its vinyl glory. The LP comes with two inserts printed in graphite black ink on heavy golden yellow paper, with liner notes and autostereograms to enhance the powerful New Age vibe. Cut by Simon at The Exchange Mastering Studios, London.
Something Inflatable
EVOL pay tribute to Rotterdam Termination Source's gabber classic 'Poing' (1992) on 'Something Inflatable'. Notorious as one of the most annoying and hilarious International '90s chart busters, 'Poing' is and was a fairly radical, if knuckle-headed, bit of dancefloor lunacy, and therefore in key with EVOL's "hooligan computer music aesthetic." Their 30 minute tribute of sorts contains no samples but does feature a load of demented squelches, boingy kicks and "dyschronometric gabber". This…
Evolver + Remixes
Limited edition black chrome cassette, few copies available. A super sweet tape of original material and remixes by the Milanese avant-trancemaster, Lorenzo Senni, slipped out by EVOL's outta-sight Alku imprint. Using the same Roland JP-8000 synth explored on the blinding 'Superimpositions' on Boomkat Editions, Lorenzo explores the potential of a single, modulated arpeggio across the mesmerising A-side 'EVOLVER' until we're floating a foot off the 'floor. B-side he offers two remixes of in…
Monoblock's and 200 Tracks b/w TQ80108
Ben Vida is one of the most interesting experimental electronics musicians in New York right now. His work with sound is quite astonishing and idiosyncratic. Closer in purpose to sound art. His stock as a recording artist has risen over the last couple of years thanks to high-profile collaboration with Keith Fullerton Whitman and brilliant album "esstends-esstends-esstends" for PAN Records. "Monoblock..." is quite an advanced listening reminding of the work by likeminded musicians, such a…
Biomechanoid
2015 limited repress. Biomechanoid is the classic 1980 album by composer and flutist Joel Vandroogenbroeck. It’s 1980, in Munich, Germany, upstart production music label Coloursound Library releases their debut album. Capitalising on the success of Ridley Scott’s Alien film, the label dropped Biomechanoid, featuring cover art commissioned by HR Giger – whose horrific Necronom IV lithograph served as the basis for the design of Alien – and the music of the relatively unknown Joel Vandroogenbroeck…
Suijin
Komodo Haunts is the psychedelic drone solo project of Ollie Tutty (aka Mt. Tjhris), from Lincolnshire, UK. With his music he explores drone structure, sonic textures, meditative zones and personal fictions. Making use of analogue and digital technologies; tape jams playing on human familiarity, natural ambiances, faux-exotica, mythologies, "reality therapy".
Taking inspiration from drone masters and new age wanderers the Suijin album is all about getting into "the zone” and could be the so…
Decal Baby
Decal Baby' is a compilation featuring a selection of cuts from Leicester's Fish From Tahiti. The songs were recorded and released at the start of the 2000s and originally released by FFT's Dave Dixey on his own Sorted Records label. The set also contains a number of unreleased tracks recorded during the same period. All featuring FFT's trademark sound of crazed loops and snatched samples all thrown together to create a drunken hypnotic haze. At times it is almost dubish, at others it's v…

Behold
Behold is the second collaborative release from Oren Ambarchi and Jim O'Rourke following the 2011 LP Indeed. Ambarchi and O'Rourke seamlessly blend field recordings, electronics, guitar, drums, and other acoustic instruments into a subtle combination of krautrock, minimalism, and classic free flowing electronics. Side A takes the listener into the Fourth World adventures pioneered by Jon Hassell on Fourth World Music Vol. I: Possible Musics (GB 019CD/LP), while the flip seems like an unlikel…

Charles Cohen / Robert Turman rersions
Charles Cohen uses his Buchla Music Easel to replay Indonesian hardcore band Senyawa's "Di Kala Sudah." While enjoying a few months in Germany, Cohen conducted a ritualistic tonal re-adaptation, flushing the song through layers of spaced-out, orchestrated grooves. Meanwhile, in the U.S., explorer of the deepest depths Robert Turman smashed Cohen's "Conundrums" into small bits and recrafted it in his own masterful manner. His beaten and edited version displays ability similar to Cohen's, m…
Architectonic
Morphine continues to take us there, this time with a full-length album from Iranian producer, composer and sound artist Ata Ebtekar aka Sote. Architectonic focuses on studies in techno patterns and aesthetics from a maximalist musical perspective, without employing orthodox beats. The focal rhythmic element is achieved with programmed pitched sounds via FM, Physical Modeling and Additive synthesis methods in a modular environment. These aural components that withstand spectral and forman…
Expect Night Work
Morphine continues to expose more destructive electronics from the U.S. underground. Four bare bones tracks from Lack that owe as much to grimy techno as they do to the late '80s industrial pioneers. "The Morphine label has developed something of a reputation for picking out intriguing talents from the USA's experimental underground, be it old hands such as Charles Cohen or newer names such as Metasplice and Madteo. The latest release from Morphine draws from this latter pool with Expect Nig…
