Kleine Freuden
Johannes Schebler's musical output is all about establishing a dreamlike territory where sonic settlements can spread at ease. While Grykë Pyje (Johannes Schebler's duo with Jani Hirvonen) presents musical landscapes as open and clear spaces, Baldruin's miniature pieces tend to narrow them down, zooming into domestic sceneries that shift like malleable rooms inside a magic building. These are the quarters where the inhabitants of Schebler's musical world are configured. Rendered in a tender mann…
Do Not
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Limited edition reissue of this album originally released in 1986 on cassette on Broken Flag. Comprising two untitled side-long pieces, 'Do Not' catches Gary Mundy of Ramleh in peak 'noise' mode with his solo endeavour, taking much from his place as one of the innovators of the so-called power electronics genre yet pushing this confrontational avant-garde sensibility somewhere entirely new. It is a sound that Kleistwahr has continued to ex…
The Fall of the Human Empire
*Limited edition of 100 copies. Includes A4 art print and a 16-page booklet of art.* The Fall of the Human Empire LP/art booklet set. The very latest work from Nick Mott, also known for co-founding Volcano The Bear, and since then often given to exploring those avenues afforded by the kinda electronic composition which assumes shapes at once abstract, darkly psychedelic and downright twisted as it morphs through an inner space wormhole of its own making. Of The Fall of the Human Empire Nick says…
Bowdark
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Bowdark is the name of a fictitious town somewhere in the USA. After a comet hits the town, mysterious things starts to happen. The Gothenburg-based artist Magnus Jäverling started to develop the concept and story around 2016, which included a scale model of the town and now the culmination of the project; his 10-track debut album. Recorded between 2016 and 2022, the album is a epic and dramatic journey through the peculiar lives and happe…
Tance Neznámé
*2022 stock* "This album is a fantastic document of two guitarists complementing each other, giving each other space to work out ideas and while being technical top notch, they put a lot emotions into their compositions. Some of the melodies are touching something deep inside me, that is hard to explain, but I bet every music lover knows that feeling... Do not miss this album, even if you can't read or pronounce the track titles. This is pure bliss!" – Dying for Bad Music

Standing on the verge of spiritual jazz aesthetic, his music remains timeless & unforgettable after it's longstanding creation.

TIBLSC Re-Works of Since It Turned Out Something Else
Constructive are pleased to announce our fifth release, reworks by TIBSLC of Adrian Corker's recent album 'Since It Turned Out Something Else'. Having met earlier this year when TIBSLC played at an album launch in London at Cafe Oto, Corker asked if they would be interested in taking the tracks as raw material to create a new set of pieces. The original acoustic worlds of the tracks, a combination of contemporary composition and electroacoustic techniques , are transformed into complex ever shif…

Bass Sick Bitch / Honey Roast Nuts

Steppin' Out!
TIp! *Tone Poet serie. Highly recommended audiophiles new master* Muscular tenorsaxophonist featured several times in recordings for the blue label, Harold Vick signed only one album as leader for Blue Note: here it is, and it is a fine album. The company was of the most inspiring: Blue Mitchell (another underrated...) on trumpet, the tandem of friends Grant Green (on guitar) / John Patton (on Hammond organ) and Ben Dixon on drums. An album to rediscover.
Stick-Up!
TIp! *Tone Poet serie. Highly recommended audiophiles new master* An album as representative as ever of the most avant-garde wing within that extraordinary laboratory called Blue Note: the reinventor of the vibraphone Bobby Hutcherson here (this is 1966) joins Joe Henderson on tenor sax, McCoy Tyner on piano, Herbie Lewis on double bass and Billy Higgins on drums to record a memorable album, including original compositions and a danceable 'Una muy bonita', a well-known Tex-Mex flavour track by O…
Hidden Gem
*In process of stocking* 'Hidden Gem' is the Zenmenn's first full album produced together with songwriter and vocalist John Moods and follows their much-loved debut record, 'Enter The Zenmenn'. Named after a country song that didn't quite make it to the final selection, 'Hidden Gem' is the result of an extended jam session at a friend’s studio, in a field of mystical meadows somewhere south of Hamburg, in which the band would experience a series of inexplicable phenomena.
It was their earlier co…
La Mosca
*In process of stocking* Released towards the end of 1989, La Mosca was the last job by the mythical Eduardo Mateo (1940-1990), one of the most influential artists in Uruguayan music. Although Mateo was a remarkable percussionist and was very well known for his short songs, with simple lyrics, where Uruguayan roots are mixed with Brazilian, African, Indian and Arabic influences, on his last album, his work took a turn on a brand new direction. Alongside the multiinstrumentalist and sound enginee…
Skullbase Fracture
Issued by Leo Fegin's visionary record label in 1993, this refreshed and revised reissue collection of Hungarian composer Tibor Szemző's chamber pieces with spoken text – composed at 1980s for the legendary GROUP 180 – is unlike anything else of its kind.
Dora Agora
*In process of stocking* Ekin Fil returns to the guitar on Dora Agora. Her earliest recordings, notably her debut on Root Strata, prominently featured guitar in this urgent expressions of a dreamy dreariness that immediately offered enthusiastic comparisons to Grouper. In her development as composer of ephemeral ghostliness for numerous albums as well as her scores to film soundtracks, that instrument has given way to keyboards, organs, synths, and various mood engineering devices, in her beauti…
Quando L'Amore E' Sensualita'
Undiscovered Morricone Soundtrack, Newly Remastered! Quando l'amore è sensualità (1973) is one of the undiscovered gems of the production of Ennio Morricone. Still unpublished in its entirety, this score is the manifesto of the "Morricone Segreto" concept. With its tonal experiments and compositional complexity, it shows the most obscure, dark-tinged, and psychedelic side of the Maestro and his unbridled creativity.
The score masterfully mirrors the lustful bourgeois hypocrisy portrayed in the c…
Musicasión 4½
Originally released in 1971, during the dark days of the military dictatorship in Uruguay, this unique album made a strong and lasting impression on Juana Molina when she was a child. The present reissue on Sonamos (Juana’s recently-formed owned label) is the result of a patient labor of love conducted by Juana and her associate producer Mario Agustin Gonzalez. This anniversary release comes our as a very limited-edition containing the remastered original LP, a second LP with 16 unreleased track…
Rideau
On their third album, »Rideau«, Swedish trio Tape made their great leap forward. Released in 2005 on Häpna, following two albums of pastoral folk meets electronica, »Rideau« saw the trio of Andreas and Johan Berthling, and Tomas Hallonsten, working with an outside producer, Marcus Schmickler (best known for his post-rock outfit Pluramon). On »Rideau«, Tape’s music opened out considerably, embracing traditional minimalism, and luscious melodicism. Now, seventeen years later, »Rideau« has a new ho…
