Inland Empire (Império Interior): A Compendium Of Experimental Music Made In Portugal Vol.3
*2024 stock* Inland Empire (Império Interior), or the last brushstroke in a triptych that gazed at the stars, sowed winds and, finally, sought the geographical limits of a country.
Going over the obvious lynchian reference, the last of Wasser Bassin‘s compendiums dedicated to experimental music produced in Portugal brings to light the electronic abstractions of Caranguejos; the irreverent drones of Ehxispê, creative alter-ego of Rodrigo Vieira; and from the banks of the Côa, instead of rock engr…
Seabed-Sunbath
Loris S. Sarid is an ambient composer and artist born in Rome but now resides in Glasgow. His previous release, "Music for Tomato Plants", was a quiet exploration of kalimba, glockenspiel and plucky synths. On his debut LP, "Seabed-Sunbath", Loris submerges into aquatic terrain with an expanded palette of virtual pianos, soft horns, kalimba, strings, synthesized voices, textural field recordings and a wide array of soothing electronic tones. On “Oats with Sarah” and “Lobster Island”, he also inc…

"Structurally Sound" is the self-assured melding…
Meelkop - Hohmann
Tip! *111 copies limited edition in special packaging* "Last year, Martijn Hohmann bumped into Roel Meelkop (Thu20, Kappotte Muziek) at a concert, and as two like-minded musicians would do, let’s work together on music. Hohmann mailed drones and field recordings to Meelkop, who did his magic (as in processing and adding sounds of his doing). Upon completion, a second round of new sounds and new reworkings resulted in four pieces of music, each around 15 minutes, so a solid hour of music. I have …
Music for Metaal 2024
*Limited edition in tin can with attached razor blade* "For reasons not of general interest, I re-discovered Vivenza’s music last year or so when I got some of the old vinyl and a CD again, and I played these with much enjoyment. I don’t know why Jean-Marc Vivenza never released any new music beyond 1994, but I am sure he has his reasons (a study in esoteric and philosophic movements may be the answer). The exciting aspect of his music was his recordings of machines, which he didn’t link to the …

Freedom At Last
The impact made in Britain in the 60s by legendary American blues artists such as Muddy Waters, Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf cannot be overstated. With their loud guitars, soulful voices and sexually charged lyrics, they inspired a new generation of aspiring young UK bands to throw off their inhibitions and make music that had the same brashly unapologetic energy and raw power. By plugging in and cranking up the volume they succeeded in capturing the imagination of the youth of the day. Freedo…
