Neo Griot & The Afrocentric Prince
*In process of stocking* 'This album pays homage to being, existing, and becoming Ancestors in the Universe. It is a dialogue between an Elder Griot and a young Jali. The story is about each and everyone that gives life, becomes life and ascends through all of our struggles. It is in the House of Good Spirit, that we present an acknowledgement within the African Oral Tradition which represents who we are. A legacy of sound that will give everyone a message. Ashe.' - Neo Griot and the Afrocentric…
Trio Exposition
*In process of stocking. 2023 stock* Devin Daniels’ Trio Exposition is a bold yet vulnerable body of work that highlights his unique sense of rhythm and harmony through relatively obscure songs by jazz greats. Joined by bassist Logan Kane and drummer Christian Euman, the lack of a harmonic instrument gives the three musicians space to fully explore and push each other. Very rarely do saxophonists choose this instrumentation- especially as their breakout record as a bandleader.
Child Of Nature
A further exercise in musical curation, Child Of Nature is our latest sonic confluence of self-released tracks from the loners, hippies and outsiders of the 70s and early 80s. A collection of privately pressed music, able to breathe and be created free from the constraints of heavy handed commercialism, yielding a pure vision of artistic expression. Child Of Nature features ten songs of brooding soft rock and psychedelic folk steeped in melancholia. Some ache for better times or past lovers, whi…
Orphan Egg
*In process of stocking* Orphan Egg were a short lived group who were formed in 1967 in San Jose California. Their sole self-titled album was released in 1968 on the small independent company Carole Records. Essentially a garage-psych album – in the tradition of future iconic compilation like Nuggets or Pebbles – Orphan Egg was recorded by a bunch of students at Saratoga High School in Saratoga. Occasionally they won the Vox Battle of the Bands, a nationwide competition. They also appeared on th…
Astro-Noetic Chiasm X
"In listening to Astro-Noetic Chiasm χ by Zsolt Sőrés, one quickly has the impression that the sounds being heard are coming from an anomalous nowhere. As if they were not generated here but received from there. They simply sound otherworldly. So, what is their actual address in space and time, as well as the sender’s or the receiver’s? How are we to identify them?
We could of course try to single out the sonic settings and processes we hear according to the technology that produced them (uncon…
Exq I
Faitiche presents the album Exq I by Berlin underground techno legends Muellie Messiah & Punk not Punk, mainly known under their 100Records moniker. Weighing in at 36 minutes, the track was recorded in 2010, effortlessly intermingling dub, drone and collage, a blend achieved thanks to the duo’s jazz-inspired approach to improvisation.
Upe
Upe is the result of a composition commissioned by the Ensemble Contrechamps from the group Massicot for a joint event with the Ensemble Vide. The creative process involved a dialogue with the musicians of Contrechamps and a work of accompaniment and translation by Louis Schild. The trio shared the stage of the magnificent Arcoop building (built in 1959 by Honegger Frères) - a favourite venue for Ensemble Vide's projects - with fourteen string instruments.
The rain pounding on the corrugated roo…

Waterfalls Symphony
“Fumio Miyashita’s unreleased last recording is finally here. We are honored to receive the master audio of Waterfall Symphony from Fumio’s family last year and finally ready to release on both Vinyl & CD.” – Personal Affair
The Rapist
We take the same ones and we start again. After the re-release of Überschleiss, two years ago, it's the turn of the second album of the violent disco band well known in the French underground microcosm to be re-released under the auspices of the label Replica Nova. On the programme, therefore, the same synthetic filth dripping from your stereo speakers. That said, we're still far from the fantasies of retarded boomers "fans of synthwave because they're fans of John Carpenter". An album that ooze…
Les Poumons Gonflés
"On this album les 3 fous became 4 with the arrival of keyboard player Jo Thirion, and for the first and only time they had the same sax player for 2 consecutive albums. In addition to the expanded line up, EFL's fourth full length release saw the emphasis shift to relatively short, focused songs and in many ways saw them realise the abundant potential that they displayed on their early albums.
The fundamentals of EFL remained in place, despite the changes. Guigou Chenevier and Ferdinand Richard…
Flow | 流れ
Union of Antwerp synthesist David Edren and Tokyo minimalist Hiroki Takahashi is a fit so natural as to feel preordained. Both traffic in subtle shades of contemplative electronics, marked by patience, space, and poetic restraint. And both have rich histories of curation and collaboration – Edren in the duo Spirit & Form alongside Bent Von Bent, and Takahashi as proprietor of the Kankyō record shop, as well as one fourth of cosmic ambient quartet Unknown Me. Mutual fans of one another’s work, th…
Imperium Asinum Magnificum
"Oral painter and word carver », Michel Giroud aka Gerwulf El Coyote has been a major figure in action poetry since the 1970s. His work takes the fragmented form of books, readings, actions, interventions, meetings, circles and magazines. He thus realizes an old project that he named in 1990 Patata (patatology) or PTT (Totally Total Poetry) where all these activities are articulated in a sphere in permanent movement. In 1991, he founded the Nomadic University and in May 1997 the festival ‘Mille …

727 / 16
*100 copies limited edition. 2023 sock* When Christopher Shannon (of bands Bart and Possum) and Benjamin Pullia started High Alpine Hut Network, the intention was to explore cosmic extensions of house music. However with the addition of Jason Bhattacharya on drums, HAHN's recording sessions rapidly became a site of experimentation where members would generate raw material through structured improvisation and sheer spontaneity. Through this process, the project eventually evolved into a collabora…

*300 copies limited edition. 2023 stock* This is the first release of the VOXXX series, a sound poetry magazine with 4 LP releases each year. A manifestation of poetry and voice, sound poetry or vocal art. A joined adventure by Erratum Musical (Paris) and Sonhoras (Barcelona).

HD
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* "HD“ can be described as Atom™‘s electronic quintessence: a blend of pop, electronic abstraction and powerful grooves - an invention Atom™ stands for and which was popularized through previous releases, classics in the electronica genre, such as "Pop Artificielle“ and others.
Here is what the artist says:As so often I was asked to say and write something about the recording you are currently having in front of you: "HD“. To any musician this is no doubt a complic…
Det Åbne Hjerte
*In process of stocking* Signa is a Copenhagen based artistic collective founded by Signa & Arthur Köstler. Developed since 2001 from performances by Signa Sørensen (now Köstler), the fundamental concept of their projects is best described as performance installation. Each project is a devised site-specific performance played in non-traditional art spaces. In collaboration with an ensemble of international participants, the founding members of Signa conceptualize and perform in wholly immersive …
Atabal Yemal
*Limited edition of 300* An all-time classic from the vast fields of eclectic prog that most probably will never grow old for as long as there are demanding listeners. Atabal Yemal, recorded in 1979, is a gigantic clockwork formation of perfectly synchronized small parts that melt into surreal supple space. At times, symphonically weeping woodwinds in dialogue with zeuhl at its darkest, as the surface antithesis is resolved by a strange attractor that swallows them and then leaves a trombone pon…
Estructura
*Limited edition of 300* Estructura is one of the first prog outfits that formed in Venezuela, with a pure symphonic pedigree. Both of their albums feature stellar musicianship, an explosive co-existence of neo-classical with hard-prog, punctuated by celestial keyboards and interspersed with ethereal vocals, a hyperreal space where moog twists anchor mood swings and provide syntactic orientation to a passionate trajectory in constant flux. At the same time contemplative and dynamic, slippery and…
