Austral Soundscapes
A double CD loosely following on from their ‘Trajectories’ release. This is further work from the recordings about a trip Phil Mouldycliff and Colin Potter made to Australiato play some music at the Horizon Planetarium in Perth. A piece of music to 'accompany a simulated trip through the universe created by Carley Tilet using SkyScan in the 18metre full-dome project space'. 'Universal' makes up fifty-two minutes of the first disc. On the second disc one finds two further pieces, 'Auspex Australi…
An Album Of Musical Radionic Thought Frequencies
Daniel Wilson's Radionics Radio project draws upon the fringe-science of radionics, with its invisible forces and psychic resonances, to spawn electroacoustic and electronic compositions employing very alternative tuning systems. Radionics's idea that thoughts can be represented as frequencies is vigorously explored on An Album Of Musical Radionic Thought Frequencies through microtonal compositions which range from mutating drones to electronic sambas, with nods to Raymond Scott and Daphne O…
Focus on the centre of your skull
Saturn And The Sun's second album is called 'Focus On The Centre Of Your Skull' and is a deep thing zooming in to mess with your mind. Heavy, psychedelic electronic music that draws fuel from 80's industrial stuff as swell as minimal techno and probably some dub too. Extremely limited to 200 copies, this new album by ex-Union Carbide Productions member and sound artist Henrik Rylander and iDEAL label boss Joachim Nordwall. Together they has also served time for more than a decade as slaves…
Legacy Map
** Edition of 150 copies ** Sprung from the eclectic new wave of Italian noise and industrial music, Lettera 22 is a duo consisting of Matteo Castro and Riccardo Mazza, based in Vittorio Veneto. Their noise is dynamic and creative, balancing in the field between contemporary art music and harsh noise brutality: gritty, textured concrete sounds and field recordings are recorded and manipulated with analogue tape, drenched in tape hiss and finally crushed by a wall of distorted electronics and fe…
Transfer
Four tracks from two long out of print 2014 cassette only releases. Emerging from a love of early electronic, concrete and tape music, soundtracks and early new age, Panabrite attempts to create worlds of sound that touch on many elements and moods, from more spatially motivated ambient to aspects of cosmic synth, minimalist compositions and improvisation.
Le Soleil, la Mer, le Coeur et les Etoiles
Edition of 200 copies on red vinyl. Released as part of the series 'Collection Archives Des Musiques Industrielles DeFrance', here are two previously unissued tracks from 1982. This music like all first works of Etant Donnes was made without any instrument or effect but is the fruit of a long work on a raw sound material coming only from nature field recordings.
Etant Donnés are two brothers, Eric and Marc Hurtado, who founded this duet in 1980. They realised music, films (from 1982 to 1…
Ali Zarin
With the massive amount of material Bryn Jones had left in the vaults when he passed away in 1999, it's hard to truly assess his progression, stylistic or otherwise, over the years. And his reasons for choosing to release one tape's worth of material over another's were sometimes as mysterious as anything else about his work as Muslimgauze. But upon stumbling onto the material found on the undated tape known as Ali Zarin, it's hard not to wonder how it would have been received if it had bee…
Un Salon Au Fond D'Un Lac
After the highly-acclaimed Hidden Tapes released on Potlatch in 2014, Marc Baron puts another solo recording forward. Un salon au fond d'un lac is the new opus by this composer engaged in reel-to-reel tapes experimentation and using cut-up, noise, found sound, pre-recorded and degraded tapes. As always, Marc Baron uses analog tape techniques only

GRM Works 1957-1962
2016 repress, originally released in 2013. Recollection GRM assembles Greek experimental composer Iannis Xenakis' works for Groupe de Recherches Musicales circa 1957-1962. "Concret PH" (1958) was assembled for the Brussels World Fair. The industrialist Philips commissioned Le Corbusier's famous "Philips Pavilion": "I'll create an electronic poem for you, he said. Everything will happen inside: sound, light, color, and rhythm." Iannis Xenakis designed the architectural blueprint and compos…
The Deluge
2105 release. Cascade and The Deluge are variations on the latest tape-loop and delay composition from the inimitable William Basinski. Cascade is the CD/Digital variant, and The Deluge is the vinyl LP companion. In Cascade, a single ancient lilting piano tape loop repeats endlessly carrying one along in its tessellating current. In The Deluge, the same loop is processed through a series of feedback loops of different lengths, creating a spiraling crescendo of overtones that eventually fades awa…
Four Meditations / Sound Geometrics
LP version. Pauline Oliveros surrounded by Belgian ensemble Musiques Nouvelles, performing two long pieces for orchestra. "Sound Geometries for Chamber Orchestra, Expanded Instrument System and 5.1 Surround Sound System" by Pauline Oliveros was premiered in Brussels. The 3 sections metaphors of the piece are intended to guide the players in their feelings and approaches to conducted, guided and improvisational music making to create differing atmospheres for each of the three sections. Pla…

Be Nothing
Awsome new CD by the legendary Sergio Merce, a work for microtonal saxophon and analog synth/ electronics. During the last three years, Sergio Merce transformed his alto saxophone in a tremendous and radical way. "I have been working on a "microtonal saxophone", which is an alto saxophone without the original mechanisms and keys that I replaced with water, gas and compressed air taps. I can move the tuning of any note, and play microtones, multiphonics. A sustain pedal allows me to maintain…
Approximate Dates When The Sun Reaches Each Hour Of Right Ascens
Kiyoharu Kuwayama (Lethe) is a Nagoya-based artist who began creating work in 1988 using a halftone-scale violin, household items, and other assorted found junk. After numerous collaborative performances and recordings, he began the ongoing "Catastrophe Point" series which makes use of the resonant qualities of huge abandoned industrial buildings.For this release, we have chosen two pieces of his guitar work from the mid to late 90s. The release is a dual format LP and cassette set, with the fiv…
Mauve Zone
Since 2004, Èlg (Laurent Gérard) has drawn concentric sound spirals made of musical pipes and entrails. He uses an arsenal of instruments and methods, constantly renewed while building improbable bridges between musique concrete and French song-writing, cartoon-like radiophonic creations and cosmic pop as well as lo-fi Dada-esque experimentation with electronic tentacles. Èlg is half of the electronic botanic duo Opera Mort, and a third of big band trios Orgue Agnes (with the members of Ka…

The last release from the influential record producer and composer was in 2001 with the full-length album “Drukq…
Endings
Mueller always delivers the goods, in the sense that he hurls each clipped plotline into an unmistakable, impassable “end;” however his endings are never the epiphanies his stories require. Instead they offer only the further mystification of an already lost cast of characters, managing to transform a clever variety of hum-drum pursuits and circumstances into windows to another hellish dimension.
The Dark Side of the Moog Vol. 1-4

The first box contains Vol. 1 to Vol. 4 and the Best Of-Album The Evolution Of The Dark Side Of The Moog.

Church Of Anthrax
Replica mini-LP edition. Terry Riley (piano, organ, soprano saxophone) & John Cale (bass, harpsichord, piano, guitar, viola, organ) collaborated on this one-off album, released in 1970. At this time, rock music was a serious movement, removed from the joke it once was, quite unaware of the joke it would eventually become, and things like this sometimes happened. Cale, classically trained on the viola, must have been pretty pleased to get a shot to record with the '60s king of minimalist pu…
