Musiktheater Und Experimentelle Musik
This is an original copy of a 1984 privately released avant experimental music Boxset of 3 LP’s (plus a 4 pages informative insert) by the obscure Phren ensemble. The music is very atmospheric and higly experimental/ free improvised not far from AMM, MEV or Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza but more in a 'german' way if i might say so (and if it says something!).
Makrokosmikro
"For whatever reason I am not entirely sure of Maurizio Bianchi hooked up with Siegmar Fricke a lot since he returned to recording new music again. Fricke always seems to have something to do with the music of Bianchi, whether or not it is a collaboration, mastering, mixing or post production. Here on 'Makrokosmikro' its a collaboration with Bianchi getting credit for 'macrowaves, cosmotronics, microloops' and Fricke for 'mactronics, cosmodulations, microblending', which I am sure they have had …
Water days
The book and audio CD documents an exchange of pictures, texts, sounds and voices between multimedia artist Leah Singer and Sonic Youth’s Lee Ranaldo. WATER DAYS began as two texts each inspired by the contrast between wanderlust and the desire for home and in this volume attempts to create a filmic sequence of photographs to augment and accompany the recording. The new sound piece WATER DAYS, a radio piece for Atelier de Création Radiophonique de France Culture (ACR) is a mix of sound recording…

Eerie Fragrance or Eyeless Fabrication or Exclude Frank or Eat F
A lovely vinyl reissue on Etude Records of a long obscure Climax Golden Twins gem. Originally issued in 1995, on cassette, Eerie Fragrance or Eyeless Fabrication or Exclude Frank or Eat Fuck or etc (forever) was Climax Golden Twins second official issue after a self-released double seven inch gatefold record. Cassettes-the cockroach of the industry-were a necessity at the poorer end of the music spectrum prior to CDRs and file sharing... the good old days... EF was a collage of noise, found soun…
2008 / 2011
Exclusive collection of the Hype Williams videos work, probably the most genuine reflections of pop culture mixed with the hyper-contemporary obsession of domestic self representation. Here you can find a massive exploitation of the Long Takes and a deliberate use of digital folklore. VHS edition
relax most of your muscles
a blurry midlife crisis for all children of the revolution! the A side of this psychedelic bumcrack is filled with 10 locked grooves, all vocal, some different panned brainbubbles, featuring one loop of Dennis Tyfus' personal alarm clock. All of these sounds played simultaneously at the 'Relax most of your muscles' Dennis Tyfus' solo exhibtion at Be Part in Waregem, Belgium, providing a non stop soundtrack that coincided with large paintings and around 20 film loops and drawings which cre…

Dogs in English porcelain
Dogs in English Porcelain (Vanessa Rossetto's fourth solo album on the label) is a composition for electronics, field recordings, viola, violin, cello and acoustic turntable. It was created with many layers of very quiet elements that advance and recede, forming the episodic structure of the piece. The overlapping of electronic and environmental sounds with extended technique and traditional playing disturbs the boundaries separating the natural and artificial, the intentional and the incidental…
Hosting Myself
Jean-Claude Jones (electro acoustic bass, live electronics). This solo bass album is a distillation of my language, the articulation of my voice on my instrument. It is free improvised music, focused on energy and the moment. This project incorporates electro-acoustic sounds and noises, groovy rhythmical games and sporadic forays into melody.

Straight outta Bagnolet
Alexandre Bellenger - turntables. Jac Berrocal - vocal, trumpet. François Fuchs - double bass. Dan Warburton - violin. Limited LP (250 copies). 'Jac Berrocal's knowledge of obscure (and not so obscure) French chanson is nothing short of encyclopaedic, as I discovered during the time we spent together touring with Aki Onda a few years ago. My original idea for the Hot Club project (the name of the band, by the way, originates in a joke I had already recorded with Alexandre Bellenger and we…

Plastic Box
" Plastic Box is a a 'metal box' fascinating companion, plotting the evolution and subsequent degradation of the experimental impulse that saw its apex in 1979. Tracks like “Albatross” have always been passed off as autobiographical by Pistols-watchers who believed that Lydon could only ever refer to Lydon, but the power of Metal Box lies in Lydon’s ability to forget: himself, his past, and so to move around the landscape like a ghost, to be free of his own history in order to fully invest…
