...E Poi, Non Ne Rimase Nessuno (Original Soundtrack)
*300 copies limited edition* This LP would not have been possible if Edipan hadn’t conserved two mono masters in good conditions in its archives (stereo mixes have gone lost). Unfortunately it was not possible to cancel some magnetic flaws. We brought to life an OST that contains all the popular and well respected music elements of Maestro Nicolai: dissonant strings segments, experimental effects of an evocative classical main theme, ambiguous and mysterious, accompanied by pop rhythms.
Mannawyddan
*B-stock* This record was brought to us at Dizonord by Julien, part of the shop Music Records in Saint Brieuc (Brittany, France), who is specialized in Brittany music. In the band are fantastic people. The group leader came back from an initiatory trip in India to Brittany with the belief that there was a mystic link between Indian music and Celtic music. Who could say the contrary?
The Art Of Mirrors (Homage To Derek Jarman)
Longtime sold out at source, lucky restock. Limited 500 Copies, White/Black Splash Vinyl Packaged In Gatefold Cover. Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson was a musical legend, one of the original members of Throbbing Gristle and an innovative musician in his own right. This live recording is an homage to the short film by Derek Jarman: The Art of Mirrors. Recorded before the end of Coil in 2004 and captured here on cd.
"This ‘Homage to Derek Jarman’ is really a triple homage in itself. Obviously a ceme…
Sept Jeunes Et Fiers Maris
*Rare original* "ARFI is an improvised music group from the south of France that continues to evolve, involving not only musicians but also cooks and street performers in its search for more freedom of expression. One of the core bands of the ARFI, with all the main improvising musicians, was the Marvelous Band, released on their own label in 1985. Carnivals on street corners, street performers, the hints of foreign lands wafting from the back alleys - the original landscape that lies at the hea…
Accordéon De Concert
A rare original issue of Accordéon De Concert by Jean Luc Manca.
Azur Et Tenebres
*Rare original* "As you can tell from the additional description to the album title, this album and the compositions on it are a collection of sound illustrations for performances, performances, dances, films and plays (mostly in the spirit of early cinematography and early century theatre, one would think). Illustrations, stylistically very different. From rather sad interludes, which for some reason remind me personally of films like Silence, Sadness, Silence with to 'saspienza' moments, with…
Aïré
*Rare original* French project combining flamenco and jazz. The music is reminiscent of recent bands around Ultra High Flamenco, recorded in 1985 at the Centre Autonome D'experimentation Sociale in Ris-Oragis, a suburb south of Paris on the Seine River. It sounds like an extension of sextet, innovatively brought bass, cajón and saxophone to flamenco. It's strange that neither the other works nor this project have attracted much attention, but they are unusually accomplished: the level of perform…
A Dead Person's Monologue
The mack of jakbeat animates his rig of boxes on a rugged, slow and smudged set of archival killers for his debut album on iDEAL, tipped if yr into anything on the scale between Dilloway and Delroy.
Ragnarok
*300 exclusive copies, including a poster of the full cover, an insert and inner sleeve with pictures. Blue Vinyl* Silence present a vinyl reissue of Ragnarök's self-titled debut album, originally released on the same label in 1976. Some music never becomes dated and this debut record by Ragnarök from Kalmar in Sweden is just filled with that kind of music. Many listeners have tried to describe the music they have carried in their hearts throughout a whole life or just discovered. They all say i…
ZA! & la TransMegaCobla
*30 copies limited edition* Rowdy, worldly kitchen sink rock fusion by a triad of Catalan acts helmed by the prolific ZA!, touching on Gnawa trance, desert blues, psych-funk, and Catalan cobla - a traditional form of folk dance - with a playful garage punk attitude.
“These elements come together with the purpose of portraying their own vision of Mediterranean music, filtered by distortion (so current in cognitive, social and identity terms) and psychedelia (so inevitable in an increasingly accel…
Il Ricordo Improvviso Dell'Assoluto Stupore
*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Reissue of the one-sided vinyl Picture Disc originally available with the Fabio Orsi's same-title box set with book. The vinyl has an exclusive long track that is a sort of "summa" of Fabio Orsi musical world: like his early releases, "Il Ricordo Improvviso Dell'Assoluto Stupore" is a deep drone ambient track, with distant guitars and a nostalgic touch. Hypnotic and melodic at the same time...
Carvings
The William Penn Jazz Ensemble was formed by American composer and flutist Leslie Burrs. Throughout the 1970s, Leslie performed with several major jazz and funk artists, including Grover Washington Jr., Kool & The Gang, and most notably, with Del Jones for the now cult album Positive Vibes.
Carvings, recorded in 1982, holds a special place in Leslie's career. This album showcases Leslie's musical versatility and features clear influences of both jazz and classical music. The Ensemble's uncommon …
Filth
2023 stock* “This is all slabs of sound, rhythm and screaming/testifying. What more do you need? In a way, it was a reaction against Punk (and just about any other music you can think of), and the conservative notion that 3 chords were somehow necessary. I used to deny it vehemently at the time, but No Wave (I “hated” that scene too, for some reason I can’t remember now) played a big role as the germ from which this music grew, along with The Stooges and Throbbing Gristle, of course. I wanted Sw…
The Seer
*2023 stock* “The Seer took 30 years to make. It’s the culmination of every previous Swans album as well as any other music I’ve ever made, been involved in or imagined. But it’s unfinished, like the songs themselves. It’s one frame in a reel. The frames blur, blend and will eventually fade. The songs began on an acoustic guitar, then were fleshed out with (invaluable) help from my friends, then were further tortured and seduced in rehearsals, live and in the studio, and now they await further c…
Grapes from the estate
**2023 repress. In process of stocking* Black Truffle make Oren Ambarchi's Grapes From The Estate available once more on vinyl. Originally released on CD on Touch in 2004 (TO 061CD) and reissued on Southern Lord as a limited double-LP in 2006 during Ambarchi's tenure as a member of Sunn O))), Grapes From The Estate was a landmark release for Ambarchi, seeing him expand his sonic palette beyond the clipped, bass-heavy electric guitar tones he was known for at that point. Incorporating subtle laye…
Hyakki Yagyō
*. 2023 repress. In process of stocking* Black Truffle is pleased to announce a new solo album by Eiko Ishibashi, her first for the label, following on from the duo recording Ichida alongside bassist Darin Gray. Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) was produced for the ‘Japan Supernatural’ exhibition at The Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney focusing on ghost stories and folklore from the Edo period onwards. As with The Dream My Bones Dream (Drag City, 2018), the album is a resp…

*2023 stock. In process of stocking* Double LP version. Full title: In the past only geniuses were capable of staging the perfect crime (also known as a revolution) Today anybody can accomplish their aims with the push of the button.

Secrets From A Squirrel
This is music grounded in modular synth, field recordings, and the norns programming tools. Each LP also comes with an 8-page color booklet to showcase Zander's visual art too.
Permission To Leave The Temple
*In process of stocking* The idea of a release by the founder of The Legendary Pink Dots on Lumberton Trading Company had been mooted for a number of years. In fact, we were close to issuing a 7" around 11 or 12 years ago, but this fell through due to the usual problems facing small labels. The idea of still doing something with this prolific stalwart of music cut from those many folds where avant-garde abstraction locks horns with molten psychedelia, kosmische sounds, electronica and an approac…
