Dinsterwenk
* Edition of 200 * Baljuw is the improvisation project of Matthias Dewilde (Nagløed, Matterhorn Well) and Nicolas Van Belle (Suura, Ever Present, Sarcastic Fringehead). Although the two musicians were longtime friends, it still took until 2023 for the two to begin “playing” together, stimulated by a shared interest in sound, texture and transformation. A series of improvisation sessions and some tasteful performances (including at the Ghent Citadelic festival) followed, which only stimulated the…
Che mi Guardi Attraverso Una Fiamma
Tip! A dream within a dream - Innocent and whimsical song-craft from a vibrant pocket of the contemporary Italian underground via Naples-born Lucia Sole aka La Festa Delle Rane.  New split release between ANF and Tokyo friends Conatala. It’s impossible not to be totally captivated by this.  Lucia’s explorative, imperfect song-writing leans into a sense of cranky, domesticated nostalgia and soft melancholy - songs (you can just about call them that) are just about held together by a loose thread …
Thin Peaks
"Thin Peaks" is the sixth album by the microtonal tuba trio Microtub, featuring Robin Hayward (UK/DE), Peder Simonsen (NO), and Martin Taxt (NO). Initially developed during an artist residency in Andersabo, Sweden, the two pieces "Thin Peaks" and "Andersabo” underwent several adaptations before being recorded in 2022. The pieces draw on the acoustic phenomena of half-valve combinations, creating distinctive timbres and harmonic spectra based on the unique half-valve signature of each tuba. Whils…
Luurankolauluja
Luurankolauluja is Uusi Aika’s deep dive into spiritual fusion, where Nordic folk, modal jazz, and raga-like improvisations meet. Rooted in forest myth and cosmic calm, the album’s six compositions form a slow-burning suite of luminous, contemplative beauty.
Unlearning Noise
Unlearning noise by Eventless Plot presents two long-form compositions built on minimalism, analog electronics, and ambient fieldwork, inviting listeners to reconsider the expressive dimensions of noise within experimental sound art.
Khao Sok Extension
In 2016, Berlin-based artist Andrew Pekler travelled to Thailand and visited Khao Sok National Park where he gathered field recordings and recorded video footage of the park's flora and fauna. Some of excerpts of this material was used in the compositions and live presentation of Pekler's album “Tristes Tropiques”, released on the Faitiche label in 2016. Two years later, Pekler further processed, edited and mixed the materials to create the one-hour long audio-visual piece “Khao Sok Extension”.A…
Polar Sequences
In October 1995, as part of the annual Polar Music Festival, Geir Jenssen of Biosphere and Bobby Bird of The Higher Intelligence Agency, were commissioned by Nor Concerts to collaborate together on a musical project to take place in Geir's home town of Tromsø, Norway. The brief was for them to perform three concerts, using sounds sourced from the area as the basis of the music - the machinery of the local mountain cable lift, the snow, the ice. The performances from which this recording is taken…
Simultaneous
Simultaneous reveals Pamela Z’s fascination with the intersection of speech and music, blending voice, electronics, chamber ensemble, and video into an immersive, multi-layered exploration. Through looping, gesture control, and narrative fragments, the piece meditates on simultaneity—how overlapping events and speech form new harmonies and meaning.
Paperopolis
A conjuration between our favourite dreamweaver Spencer Clark and Italian psychic traveller Mondo Riviera, Lorenzo's Oil present an oracle of aural travelogues between seen and unseen worlds on 'Paperopolis'. Two likeminded individuals on their distinct but complementary quest for the netherworld, Clark and Riviera's meeting of the minds projects sonic artefacts assembled from lucid dreaming keyboard pads, narcotic late night TV rhythms, spiralling sequences and mangled voices. The 10+ minutes '…
La Munglesa
*70 copies limited edition* In the mid-1960s, Teresa Viarengo, one of the most vivid memories of Piedmontese folk repertoire, confided this song among many others to Franco Coggiola and Roberto Leydi. The ballad is also mentioned under the title “Un'Eroina nei Canti popolari del Piemonte” (A Heroine in the Folk Songs of Piedmont) by Costantino Nigra. It is a bloody story in which a count marries Munglesa, the daughter of a baker, takes her to his castle and, along the way, confesses that he has …

*80 copies limited edition* Music by Zarabatana (Bernardo Álvares, Carlos Godinho, Norberto Lobo and Yaw Tembe), Orca, Chica, P. Feijó, Daniela Rodrigues and Julián Pacomio. Mixed by Mestre André. Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.
Fobia
Aylu’s album Fobia marks a pivotal exploration into the spaces between fear and resilience, channeling personal experiences with agoraphobia and claustrophobia into textured, avant-garde electronics. Through a tightly-woven sonic language, Fobia moves from suffocating tension to moments of spiritual release—turning solitary struggle into collective resistance and introspection, with each piece mapping an emotional topography that remains intimately and universally relevant.
Smelter
Smelter by Faith Coloccia and Daniel Menche constructs a temporal architecture that explores water in its myriad states—snow, ice, streams, and storm. Moving between spontaneous, voice-laced vignettes and epic drone formations, the record serves as an aural archive that suspends the listener in crystalline moments, as if each piece is fixed in time yet endlessly malleable.​
The Return of the Durutti Column
The Return Of The Durutti Column is an iconic debut, pairing Vini Reilly’s introspective guitar sketches with Martin Hannett’s atmospheric production. Hailed as a bridge between post-punk, ambient, and classical motifs, the album stands out for its refined vulnerability and timeless melodic experimentation.
The Book of Job
The Book of Job is a boundary-pushing work by Super Grupa Bez Fałszywej Skromności, merging avant-garde jazz, spiritual recitation, and sound experiments. Conceived in martial-law Poland, the album is both requiem and protest—an immersive journey through collective struggle, transcendence, and artistic resilience.
The Dictionary of Lost Meanings

L'eil au centre de L'oeil
L'oeil au centre de l'oeil by La STPO distills decades of avant-garde experimentation into a collection where tumultuous rhythms, surrealist poetry, and unrestrained instrumentation converge. The album’s elliptical structures mirror the disjointed vividness of dreams, mapping an abstract and ever-changing sonic landscape that refuses conventional boundaries and draws listeners into a whirlwind of meticulously orchestrated chaos.
Live in Rhein Main
Live in Rhein-Main by Gestalt et Jive documents the group’s most audacious mutations through two pivotal live sets, revealing an intricate interplay of improvisation and postmodern eclecticism. The album’s raw edges and unpredictable transitions expose the band’s commitment to redefining avant-rock’s boundaries, blending kinetic jazz idioms, punk dissonance, and European experimental traditions into a deeply engaging experience.
