Alumina Wrap
Originally released in 1992 and our second C’33’ reissue following last year’s Metallurgi. Alumina Wrap deals also in surreal post-punk compositions but with more of a tribal ambient / progressive electronic leaning. Side B’s “Ten Year Mix” is particularly of note.
Rue des Garderies
Tip! Outsider ambient soundscape by two musicians from the Paris alternative : Désiré Bonaventure & Zach. An enchanted yet psychedelic dream-like ballad recorded in one take in an ephemeral delirium; borrowing from dub, drone, IDM & techno, reflecting singular inter-worlds and inviting us to join them. Rue des Garderies is a distillate produced by the spontaneous collaboration of Désiré Bonaventure and Zach, two musicians evolving in the Parisian alternative scenes and so named in homage to a fo…

Quattro dialoghi fuori campo
*2024 stock. 70 copies limited edition* "Four tracks that correspond to as many aphasic dialogues: the indication coming from the title of Paolo Monti's new work could not be clearer, as well as fully responding to its content. In fact, the Tuscan guitarist, increasingly prolific under the alias The Star Pillow, deliberately places himself 'off-screen' in the (sin)aesthetic observation of defined spaces and, even more so, of fleeting memories and sensations.
The melancholic sublimation of 'Ultim…

Niptaktuk
*200 copies limited edition* About two years ago, the headquarters of Glacial Movements Records was shrouded and immersed in seven ethereal soundclouds that drastically lowered the temperature by several degrees. Rome has never been colder. These sounds come directly from the Cryosphere, and represent the quintessence of the most extreme and coldest isolationism. It is the deep sidereal void that characterizes the planet's icy expansions. Nothing is known about the artist who composed these soun…
Música para 10m2 de Relva Sintética
»Música para 10m2 de Relva Sintética« (Music for 10 square meters of synthetic grass) includes a live recording of the Niagara performing at MAAT museum in Lisbon on 9th April, 2020. The recording is taken directly from the concert, without any additional production or mixing. The set begins with strong nods to US minimalism before evolving into a quirky new age affair. Later, vocal experiments and some dreamy synth excursions set the tone. The gentle sound of water splashing is almost constant,…

Dolo Ds
** Edition of 500 copies, hand labelled. ** Since 2019 Demdike Stare had been playing edits of Dolo Percussion’s bare-boned breaks in their DJ sets, eventually sharing them with Dolo’s Andrew Field-Pickering (Beautiful Swimmers, boss of Future Times) and fomenting a creative fusion that hits at the square root of their shared tastes for unruly, deadly rhythms. In a transatlantic back ’n forth - or what Kodwo Eshun termed a double refraction - they juggle the rudest aspects of UK hardcore, as der…
Babla's Disco Sensation
Laxmichand ‘Babla’ Shah began his career and a drummer and percussionist on Bollywood soundtracks composed by his older brothers Kalyanji V. Shah and Anandji V. Shah, and then made history through Babla’s Disco Sensation, the adventurous disco and synth-pop recasting of popular film hits released by Polydor in the late 1970s. This rare beast kicked off the ‘Disco Dandia’ craze and is a total killer from start to finish, the sitar funk grooves and eastern melodies clashing with all kinds of Moog …

Live Improvisations
*100 copies limited edition* "The colours that appear in autumn are the soul of perennial transition and slow breath; once a chill sets in and the chlorophyll-green of the leaves migrates to the trunk of the tree, those yellows, oranges and reds emerge from chemical remnants that have in fact been there all along, awaiting their moment on the forest’s lissome stage. It is a graceful manner of self-sustenance for the organism, but a source of ineffable beauty for the observing eye. Potent, poetic…
