Spirit Of The Golden Juice
The world that inspired Spirit of The Golden Juice nearly 50 years ago has moved on. F.J. McMahon moved on with it. Originally pressed in a small quantity and scattered along the California coastline in 1969, F.J. McMahon’s first and only album, Spirit Of The Golden Juice, is a spell-binding blend of singer-songwriter emotion and spiraling guitar accompaniment with a raw, adventurous character all its own. Well-chronicled and loved since its rediscovery, Spirit Of The Golden Juice is an album co…
Alter
Alter is the new album from Belgium-based double bass player and electronic producer Otto Lindholm. Divided into four color-inspired, long-form movements, Alter takes off from Lindholm's previous work -- a self-titled album released in 2015 on Icarus Records, and pushes the already abundant palette of sounds even further. This new work is more brooding and hypnotic. A deep, resonating bass is present -- hinting at the likes of Greek, chamber-doom merchants Mohammad, but perhaps with more att…
Decadent Yet Depraved
Double LP version. Decadent Yet Depraved, the debut album by Belief Defect, finds shelter and complicity in Raster as a home and label. Familiar with the underground music scene and how its skeptical nature can also be an obstacle to overcome, Belief Defect abandon any claim or credit in an attempt to transcend the limits authorship imposes, avoid the boundaries, or expectations, earned or self-imposed, and find the clearest, most direct path to their music for themselves and the listener…

Break At Home
Mad grab of styles from “Athens’ Best Kept Secret”, 2 Katara - including a handful of wicked, mutant disco bits, and an epic, 17 minute piece of prog funk ‘Greek Lady’ that’s practically worth the admission alone for any cosmic nuts.. “‘Break at Home’ is the collected recordings of the mysterious group ‘2 Katara’ which was formed in Athens, Greece in 1978 by George Theodorakis (keyboards, percussion, vocals) with his close friend Dimitris Papangelidis (bass, guitars, percussion, vocals).

24-24 Music
Dinosaur L is an alias donned by Arthur Russell, a man whose contribution to dance music from the late seventies and through the eighties was formidable but only quietly acknowledged. His innovative and left field dance records were way ahead of what people were used to hearing at the time. He was a cellist who studied classical and Indian music. As well as his great strides in dance music he was also involved in the New York downtown avant-garde music scene and produced some albums in a …

Originally premiered at this year’s Venice Biennale, the 20-minute film is set against a 1970s cinema vérité aesthetic, and draws parallels between the experimental spiritual gatherings of the ’70s and the effect-laden release of contemporary hedonistic subcultures.

Reality From Childhood Remembered as a Dream
Superb unreleased 80s ambient cassettes remastered. Robert Scott Pearson's music can be seen as surrealist, impressionist, post-industrial, mystical or avant-garde, but it goes beyond categories. His work embraces software, philosophy, poetry, visual arts, and generative algorithmic creation in general. At an early age, he began to experiment in this field, and released his first music privately on cassette, being part of the 80s undergound industrial scene in Seattle. Post-industrial, fut…
Hinosch EP
Electronic excursions from Düsseldorf/Osaka duo Hinosch (Koshiro Hino (YPY, Goat) and Stefan Schneider (To Rococo Rot, Schneider Kacirek). Four unruly studio tracks following the pair's collaborative live sets in Japan and Europe, pushing unsynced electronic instruments into knotted spaces of tape treatments. "Talent" offers swelling arpeggios that wobble over distant drums before playfully proceeding into the hiss and bliss of a pitched-down vocal drone, setting the tone for the EP to unf…
Matkormano
Original soundtrack to the movie Matkormano (centered around the alchemist Mage de Marsal or "Matkormano") produced by 529 Dragons and directed by Julien Louvet & Fabien. A beautiful, dark and foggy piece of music that we recommend you to listen especially at night, when the spirits are free to roam the endless roads of our soul-searching minds. Two longform interlinked titles of drone ambient. The movie, , was produced by 529 Dragons and directed by Julien Louvet & Fabien Rennet. "For fans of:…
Instantanes
Montreal stalwart Roger Tellier Craig (of Le Révélateur and Fly Pan Am) returns to Root Strata under his given name to offer a stunningly abstract pair of compositions indicating a severe departure from his earlier work. While Instantanés might at first evoke acousmatic and musique concrète traditions, the two side-long snapshots Roger presents feel far more spontaneous and rustic than those trappings might suggest, or as Luc Ferrari would say "a concrète music of the poor." A studied medi…
La boue ralentit le cercle

Creating music between soundscape exploration and intimate contemplation, Chicaloyoh is a mix of guitar, keyboards and percussions from distant and various horizons.

Untitled Noise
For the last hundred years, the line dividing music from visual art has grown increasingly obscure. Music has provided inspiration for countless artists, while art has offered the conceptual terms for music to break its own rules. Particularly within the contexts of punk, and experimental music, art schools have fed the ranks -- gifting countless rebellious and visionary minds. These are open worlds, between which positions and ideas freely meet and speak. Within it all, there lies an oft…
Beaute Des Mirages
Mysterious French outfit The Dead Mauriacs return to Discrepant in full exotic wind force after their sell-out cassette, Cocktails Pour La Fin Des Temps (2016). Beauté Des Mirages picks up on the same themes of frantic, abstract exotica and concrete cocktails the French act is known for. Running for two, long 18-minute sides full of fake(?) vintage atmospheres and armchair jungle hallucinations, Beauté Des Mirages is an abstract journey into a beautiful (and sometimes scary) world of mirages…
