Shamanic Twilight
2024 stock. Liholesie is a sophisticated Russian ethnic-ambient act, whose first demo was released back in 2002. From 2004 to 2008, Liholesie released four albums and a split with several metal bands. The project's music underwent changes from epic folk ambience to a more ritual atmosphere, so Liholesie became one of the most famous Russian ambient projects, whose audience included the fans of different styles, from black metal to neofolk. Then there was a period of silence, which ended only in…
Come, Angel
Kontakt Audio and Infinite Fog Productions proudly present the 25-th anniversary reissue of the one of most unique albums on avantgarde/neoclassic music - Ihor Tsymbrovsky - Come, Angel.
The Black Flag Hoisted
2024 stock. In 2016, Belgian tribal-power industrial sextet Militia entered the studio to re-record their landmark 2000 album "The Black Flag Hoisted", the final chapter of the ‘Statement’ triptych. The album was re-recorded almost completely, several tracks were completed, the recording of which was interrupted in 2000, and additional drum sections were added that were not recorded last time. In a few months, the album was re-recorded and for 5 years it was waiting for the release, which was po…
Laundry
"Kevin, a new collaboration between Ben Bondy and Mister Water Wet, presents what feels like a time-machine hidden in the back of your closet. ‘Laundry’ pleasantly haunts listeners with phantom purrs, harmonies, hums and horns. This project is a hand reaching through the void and out of your speakers responding to moments of isolation and pining with resounding gratitude. It makes space for warmth in slow-healing wounds; the gift of reset that is born from the call and response between friends."…
Stereo Vision
Ufonic presents Stereo Vision, a collection of 11 sound pieces, bringing together an eclectic set of interpretations within the experimental music field. All profits donated to support Hackney Night Shelter.
AmiciMiei
Music taken from the experimental film led by visual artists Mark Pozlep and Maxime Berthou, released in 2023. The new compositions by French electronic producer Julien Jabre illustrate the artistic performance of the Franco-Slovenian duo. Julien Jabre’s music intertwines with the film's evocative imagery to portray an America between two crises: the project, which involved descending the Mississippi on board a homemade steamboat, began a few months after one of the largest floods in the United …
Crazy Temple
After a hiatus of almost 4 years Berlin-based label Avec Plaisir Records is finally back with their second outing: A stunning collection of six almost forgotten Progressive Rock oddities by the Austrian Band Crazy Temple. Being mostly active in the late 70ies, the bunch of youngsters around the songwriting duo Günter Schiller and Herbert Bachinger only released one cassette „Heavy Birth“ as well as the sought-after 7-inch record „Homecomer“ in 1980 shortly before the band was scattered to the fo…
Devotion
Double LP version. "Devotion, Muriel Grossmann's debut for Jack White's U.S.-based Third Man Records label, continues her musical evolution, arriving at a sound that wears inspirations transparently, but in practice, is markedly original holistic work. It is titled after Grossmann's experience of a natural sense of devotion that arose from her Buddhist meditation practice. She says, 'noticing that sounds are dissolving into the vast empty space, the true nature of reality. Just as thoughts are a…
Testament
* Clear Vinyl edition * Fire! have always been about finding the essence by getting to the core of the music. Their 8th album sees the trio - for the first time on record - stripped down to the bare-bones essentials; with no flutes, no electronics, no guests and no extras, recorded live in the studio to analogue tape - the Steve Albini way - with the master himself at the controls in Electrical Audio in Chicago. Thus, this album stands as a true testament to the group´s expressive power and glow…
Jeu De Dames (7")
Jeu de Dames, la libération des femmes (1973), a film by director Christian Lara, is a vaguely subversive charm flick that won't be remembered for a long time. An amusing detail, however, is that Georges de Caunes, father of Antoine de Caunes, the famous French TV personality, plays the lead role alongside Danielle Palmero. Faced with this commercial failure, the unscrupulous producer at the time, anxious to save his investments, decided to re-edit the film so that it could be screened in the X-…
Squadra Antifurto
Here at Four Flies, we kind of feel we need a bigger word than ‘proud’, this time, to present, in collaboration with Beat Records, the first-ever release of the original soundtrack written in 1976 by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis for the legendary Squadra Antifurto, the second chapter of the comedy-infused crime saga directed by Bruno Corbucci and starring Tomas Milian as the iconic Italian Police Marshal Nico Giraldi. The excitement in this case is nothing short of gigantic, difficult to rein in …
Blazing Worlds
In ‘Drowned World’, J.G. Ballard offers a kind of descriptive visionary harkening of potential planetary evolution,”The solar disc was no longer a well-defined sphere, but a wide expanding ellipse that fanned out across the eastern horizon like a colossal fire-ball, its reflection turned the dead leaden surface of the lagoon into a brilliant copper shield. By noon, less than four hours away, the water would seem to burn.” Recorded during a week long Midwest summer scorcher, Blazing Worlds expand…
In Softening Air
Relaxer follows up the eerie, floating vistas of 2022's "Force Field: A Guide for the Perplexed" with the mercurial, poetic descent "In Softening Air.” Combining spoken word with spacious, enveloping sound design, this album spelunks into moist, mossy, fleshy crevices of the psyche. We cannot help but to meet ourselves in dreams. Sorrows & lamentations, shit talking, punk rock, apps, phlegm, studies in depth psychology, rat piss - it's all here, presented in a gentle, loving tableau, and recited…
Never Use The Same Door Twice
This is the soundtrack to a narrative called 'Never Use the Same Door Twice.'
Detached Arrangement
*2024 stock* Is there ever a final version of anything? By recombining the aliquot of an album does something new appear? Rather than simply asking questions The Mistys went in search of answers. Using only the master tapes of the ‘Detached Engagement’ album as source material The Mistys sliced, chopped, screwed, looped, effected and a whole host of other audio alchemy to create the ‘Detached Arrangement’ mixtape. The original album’s beats have been dropped allowing the hidden elements to rise …
Standards Combustion
Trio with Daunik Lazro on tenor sax, Benjamin Duboc on bass and Mathieu Bec on drums. The album is entitled Standards Combustion, 9 tracks, mostly jazz standards, 2 Ayler compositions, 2 by Coltrane, 1 by Lacy and 1 by Shorter…
Recorded at Les Instants Chavirés, Montreuil, France on November 17 and 18, 2022.
It's Monk's Time
It’s Monk’s Time is probably the most appropriate title for a Thelonious Monk album. The fact that he was on the cover of Time Magazine in February of that year (1964) shows how important the jazz composer and pianist was. It is also an essential part of his discography with the impressive jazz classic “Stuffy Turkey” and the amazing interpretation of “Nice Work If You Can Get It”, originally composed by George Gershwin. Monk recorded the album together with Butch Warren, Ben Riley, Charlie Rous…
