The Smegma Christmas Album
Bomb! * Edition of 200. Hand-made covers (each one is unique), comes with a postcard. * At the end of October 1973 Ricky Reets Hubba-Hubba Band was disbanded. It had been decided that what was needed was “a band without Musicians” and many wild experimental jam sessions took place. Finally on November 23 a particularly inspired jam was named “Cat Cheese” and the band SMEGMA was born. Although we had only been playing music together (or at all) for a few months, we decided to record a full lengt…

Drekka x [Hydzik + Trecka]
*50 copies limited edition* 3-way collaboration featuring Mkl Anderson, Evan Hydzik and Mark Trecka. The two lengthy recordIngs that make up this release have a dreamlike looseness while also maintaining the psychic precision of practiced ritual. Recorded over 2 nights in May 2015, the first inside a concrete box and the second in front of an audience at the Hideout. No computers, no overdubs, no file trading. Liminal, textured, organic, folk industrial music.
O Most Noble Greenness
"O Most Noble Greenness is a collaboration across centuries between Du.0 and Hildegard von Bingen, a German abbess and composer from 1100 A.D. Though separated from the composer by the remove of time, language, geography, and instrumentation, we nevertheless felt Hildegard’s presence as a living, breathing source of inspiration. Channeling Hildegard’s visceral embodiment of natural and mystical imagery, we deconstruct her song "Item de Virginibus" to uncover new sonorities and form. Throughout t…

A Shared Sense of Purpose
The first transmission from forthcoming Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan's new album, "Your Community Hub"
"A Shared Sense of Purpose" looks at the small community centres that helped Runcorn become a five minute city, long before the current discussion about fifteen minute cities. The idea that the larger town would be divided into smaller centres, each with a set of facilities at the heart, and designed to be within five minutes walk of anyone’s front door. It looks at the faciliti…

Fly
What you hear on Fly is Yoko Ono’s disarming combination of opacity and visceral, personal transparency in full bloom. It’s also one of the most unbridled, most captivating soul albums ever made. And that’s right where she wants you: Vulnerable, wide open to any-and-everything, ready to have your world tipped onto its head. She’s a master of spinning your head around. First, you get the Bar Band from Hell of “Midsummer New York” to kick things off. It’s about the last thing you’d expect from Ono…
Realistic IX
Realistic IX, the third full-length by the duo of Michael Jones and Turk Dietrich aka Belong, is both an expansion and excavation of their signature acid-washed songcraft. Bleached guitars, metronomic drums, and buried voices rev, swirl, and seethe across shifting gradients of haze and hypnosis, alternately driving and diffuse. Melodies surge closer to the surface, flexing their form before resubmerging into quickening currents of feedback. Elsewhere the elements dissipate into a dusk of murk an…
Readings By Jack Kerouac On The Beat Generation
In his third and final album, recorded ahead of the publication of his novel, Doctor Sax, Jack Kerouac uses his voice as an instrument, weaving his words inside of patterns and percussive accents the way a horn player solos over the changes of a well-known standard. The set is presented with an immense focus and energy to keep the listener engaged for a full 40 minutes. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
Moroccan Electroacoustic Music 1972-74
Huge Tip! Composer Ahmed Essyad was born in Salé, Morocco, in 1938. After studying music at the Rabat Conservatoire (Morocco) he moved to Paris in 1962, where he became a student of Max Deutsch and, later, his assistant. Trained in the avant-garde practices of Western musical composition, he also claimed the Amazigh folk music of Morocco as a fundamental source of inspiration for his work. In 1965, he was already incorporating elements of oral tradition in his work so as to question the language…

Studio village hototoguis 2007-2022
Matsuyama in Ehime is the birthplace of haiku, and to this day, haiku submission boxes are placed around town. Young people gather in a haiku society-like manner. In other words, they observe and contemplate well, but their approach is generally instant, casual, and somewhat careless. There is a local disposition here, which they call “yomoda” in the dialect—a blend of humor and sadness. It’s as if they pretend to agree to demands in a laid-backway, all while delaying the big decision. It’s a ma…
The Overture To Life
New album by swedish composer Lars Boutrup!
Astral Glamour
The Homosexuals! One of the outstanding bands of the eighties who came and went with hardly anyone noticing and just 2 EP's and a single released on their own label. In 1982, ReR compiled an LP from the debris of the surviving tapes and that was that for 20 years. Now more or less everything that can be found has been collected together on these 3 CDs. The first two assemble the handful of releases issued by the band plus our own 1982 best-of LP, the 'Ici La Bas' album (the HS under other names)…
