Correio Da Estação Do Brás
A fluid, low-key effort, with less of the challenging, music box melodies of his earlier efforts. This is a record which eases its way past your ears (and I mean that in a good way!) It’s not sappy or unchallenging, but it is a lot smoother and less overtly avant than the stuff David Byrne loves so much.” – slipcue.com
Tom Zé began his career together with Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, and Maria Bethânia. As a composer, he influenced Caetano and many others and delivered an expressive…
Another Night In Peru
The first new album from Florida based audio composer Wave Temples in almost 6 years. A synthesized soundscape of distant waves and deep ocean trenches. Sounds that evoke tropical nights and distant sunrises, quietly portraying a horizon between the turquoise tones of the sea and the shimmering coral-red burning streaks of the sky.
Meets Matthew Bourne Volume 1
On July 16 2021, Shiver (Guitarist Chris Sharkey, Bassist Andy Champion and Drummer Joost Hendrickx) met up with Pianist Matthew Bourne at his house in Airedale, Yorkshire. Hungry to make music following various lockdowns, cancellations and disappointments, the quartet embarked on a ferocious two-day journey of exploratory music-making. The weather was good, the connection was immediate. There was much laughing, tea-drinking and storytelling. In the evening, the stove was lit and we listened to …

But the bulk of Niko's new tape (which he had first suggested be re…

Electronic Music 2014-2019
*100 copies. In process of stocking* Walker of many miles, Takahiro Mukai has released over 50 albums on tape, treading the analog ways as a committed journeyman.

Drops, chirps, growls, murmurs, currents, friction and other seemingly spontaneous emulations of the natural world. Scenes of technological wonder falling way short of techno, offering but brief glimpses of the autobahn, qui…
Electronic Music 1993-2018
*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* A second volume of Vítor Rua music mostly hidden in plain sight across online platforms and outside of any scene. We penetrate its flow at random points and are allowed the privilege to redesign its impact by "sampling out" those moments which we perceive as a new entity when carefully pasted together.

Clairvoyant Journal 1974 (Book)
*2022 stock* Wrappers. Cover photograph by Tom Ahern. Hannah Weiner is "the only person on record—or so she believes as a result of her extensive investigations into both medical & parapsychic literature—to have experienced the particular phenomenon this journal represents, that of being 'spoken to' by several persons, most of them seemingly external to herself, by means of printed words in various colors & sizes that appear both on other persons & objects & on her own forehead (in such a way th…
