Dream Sequence of an Ancient Forest gathers pieces composed between 2017 and 2023 into a continuous arc that feels less like a compilation and more like a slow, lucid dream. Across the album, Madli Marje Gildemann listens with almost scientific care to the smallest workings of the natural world – the secret exchanges of plants, the nocturnal trajectories of birds, the micro‑rhythms of an old‑growth forest – then lets imagination bloom around those observations. Her sound world is atmospheric and…

Hermetika IX – Vox Angeli II pushes Bernhard Lang’s obsession with loops, fracture and stylistic collision into explicitly metaphysical territory. Centring the female voice, the piece takes its texts from the Nag Hammadi scriptures, a body of early Christian and Gnostic writings in which the tension between spirit and flesh, transcendence and fall, is particularly charged. Across four sharply contrasted movements, Lang treats those texts less as doctrine than as volatile material: sensual biblic…

Across … in grief and detail presents Michael Hersch at his most concentrated and exposed. Composed between two shattering personal crises, these three compact works push his already uncompromising idiom into a realm where every sound feels physically paid for. Writing for soprano, violin and bassoon in shifting combinations, Hersch strips away any sense of orchestral distance; what remains is a chamber theatre of proximity, in which the smallest inflection of the voice, the slightest change in …

On Buenos Antwerp, Elko Blijweert and Anla Courtis turn a chance Borgerhout encounter into a two‑part psychedelic correspondence, one acoustic, one electric, a cross‑Atlantic guitar séance wrapped in Dennis Tyfus’ cut‑and‑paste visual delirium.

On Paris Public Spaces 2, Éric La Casa and Seijiro Murayama stage brief, focused vocal interventions across Parisian sites, letting microphone placement and urban acoustics turn spoken sound into a moving portrait of how voice and city continuously re‑shape one another.

The album features two long-form tracks: "Parts I & II" (19:34) and "Part III" (18:06), showcasing Di Domenico's signature minimalist piano style marked by repetition, subtle nuance, and contemplative atmospheres.​ Di Domenico's work on Nachleben embodies his personal approach to contemporary minimalism, emphasizing concentr…

This album emerged from a chance encounter at Casa del Popolo in Montreal during the Suoni per il Popolo festival. Over the years Tim Daisy and Stefan Christoff kept in touch and in 2023 started exchanging more seriously about working on some music together. The conversations and exchanges over the years had revolved around trying to find pathways for collective action in the arts to support movements against war. Particularly the two discussed and collaborated on a global radio broadcast to cri…

Released by Dasa Tapes, a Greek limited-edition label focused on experimental music, it showcases the duo's innovative string explorations in a raw, site-specific setting. Atsuko Hatano, a Japanese violist known fo…

Piero Fogliati’s “Macchina che respira” (1990) is a kinetic sculpture built entirely around the realization of the author’s artistic utopia: imbuing lifeless machinery with the rhythmic and self-sustaining process of an organism. It is an apparatus of ontological interrogation, positioned at the final, unstable boundary between the organic and the artifact. In “Macchina che respira”, the fundamental function of life -respiration- is translated into an industrial imperative, forcing the observer …

Coherent States is excited to announce the release of Will Guthrie’s new album “Lampo”, containing brand new material recorded during his 2024 performance at the Lampo event series in Chicago. In his third session for the series, Will presented a fresh concept based on brief and recurring modules generated solely by acoustic drums and percussion, without any use of electronics. The experimental structures that together form the 32 minutes of the performance deliberately deviate and reintegrate a…

Aghast was a project by Nebelhexe and Nacht, released in 1994. This album was released back then by the legendary Cold Meat Industry. "Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis" is the real dark and gloomy ambiance played in a classical dark wave vein. Minimalism in musical content, compensated by spooky and ice-cold vocals that will haunt you. Macabre enchantresses will seduce you and take you to their ghastly realm. Hear gods cry and angels fall. Listen to horror and beauty. Let Aghast bewitch you! …

Eighth album from one of the brightest space-ambient projects from 2000th. The mastermind of Algol is UK-based Daniel Kazantsev, who well known by his northern-ambient project Stuzha and cinematic drone project Black Wanderer.It's time to join Algol on a journey through infinite cosmic horizons. Leaving our rigid notion of space and time we ride the cosmic winds. "Timeshifter" delivers a portion of refined space ambient where subtle old school influences mixed with modern ambient sound.

The first full-length album of this ambient / drone project after two warmly received EPs. Enticing guitar overflows, drowsy melodies, an abundance of field recordings, analogue drone, and sound experiments, walking the waves of memory and the corridors of dreams. Guest on flute - Valera Hip. "Sometimes it happens that you walk across the field and sit yourself down to put an ear to the ground and listen... so just imagine, under the ground, but not too beep, some seeds sitting together on a rou…

Sascha returns with his third album - lighter, brighter, and more intimate than ever: After the acclaimed Seeds on Talks and Zart, German ambient composer Sascha opens a new chapter with News From The Garden House - a collection of musical sketches as airy and luminous as a summer morning. This is a continuation of the sound we've come to love from Sascha, yet here the emotional detailing feels sharper, the storytelling more present. Each composition is shorter, more eventful, and each one invit…

The second album by the German ambient composer Sascha on The Fact of Being. A year after his high reclaimed "Seeds on Talks" that has been recorded for 7 years, Sascha returns much faster. A huge evolution in sound but the same Sascha's style. The minimalistic shine of clear analog sound, the slow and transparent like an early morning. As being photographer, Sascha's music is like pictures - a static basis is always in the same place, but all moving and details are open deep inside the composit…

Bones returns with Scumbag, a stripped-back, lo-fi record that distills his bleak vision into its rawest form. With skeletal beats, muffled samples, and whispered delivery, he crafts a shadowy atmosphere that's equal parts haunting and hypnotic. Known for his prolific output and DIY ethos, Bones sidesteps convention once again - this is not music for the charts, but for the dead of night. Scumbag feels like a confessional mumbled into a tape recorder, full of dread, detachment, and flashes of vu…

Un Ent Los is a composition of a total of 36 electroacoustic miniatures, for which Johannes S. Sistermanns has drawn from his wide-ranging audio archive. The material of his composed, fleeting sound moments are sounds of the numerous musical instruments he plays and their electroacoustic transformation. In addition, field recordings from the Australian outback and the soundscapes of metropolises such as Shanghai, Hong Kong or New York can be heard, as well as the diverse resonance sounds that Si…

** 2026 Stock **  If Laptop Noise looks forward into the blinding glare of the digital, Tapestry of Noise looks outward and backward, unspooling an expansive grid of analogue and hybrid recordings that show how Merzbow’s classic language was woven together in the first place. Slowdown’s 6CD expansion assembles long, previously scattered or hard‑to‑access works into a single, overwhelming fabric that moves from twitching tape‑loop delirium to fully seared harsh‑noise architectures. Early discs re…

** 2026 Stock ** Laptop Noise zeroes in on the period where Merzbow’s long‑running practice of junk‑metal abuse, feedback and tape saturation is rechannelled through the seemingly modest frame of a computer. Across six discs, this edition amplifies the original’s premise into a deep survey of his fully digital soundworld: long‑form works where full‑spectrum distortion, high‑frequency shrapnel and seething low‑end swarm are carved into towering blocks, then eroded into swarms of microscopic detai…

On Tepepa, Ennio Morricone turns the Mexican Revolution into an operatic fever dream, braiding solemn mariachi‑tinted themes, mystical guitar‑and‑orchestra adagios and defiant song into a score where personal vengeance and collective uprising share the same melodic bloodline.

On Lo squartatore di New York, Francesco De Masi fuses rock‑charged aggression with aching lyricism, setting Lucio Fulci’s urban nightmare to a score where feral action cues collide with the unforgettable tenderness of “New York One More Day” and the bittersweet elegy “Fay.”

Limited edition 666 copies including insert and vomit orange coloured vinyl. Ball is back from the grave! Wasted and slimy Swedish heavy psych speed freak power-trio. Dionysian fuck ‘n’ roll soaked in diabolical occult havoc. Drugged and toxic. Funky-proto-metal with a solid groove. Fucked-up, subhuman fuzz guitars.Depraved, screaming vocals.

In August 1971, the white wizards of South Africa's psychedelic rock underground shared the stage with the black witchdoctors of the Afro-jazz avant-garde. The event was the Tribal Blues concerts at Wits Great Hall, an unprecedented cross-cultural showcase of independent music hosted by the maverick 3rd Ear Music label. Ourang-Outang (2020) presents rehearsals and jams recorded by 3rd Ear director, producer and engineer David Marks in rural KwaZulu-Natal as this unlikely alliance of musical drui…

From a southern small town this after school project is hard to describe other than there’s nothing else like it. Teens exploring soul, funk and rock and this album is their interpretation of all three. Catchy tunes, plenty of effects and earnest vocals. Fantasy Train is one of the freshest sounds I’ve heard in many years of digging. – Rich Haupt (Rockadelic)  Fantasy Train is a unique, genre-bending album cooked up in the sweltering Southern heat that impresses me with a special kind of style a…

Following the release of Haunted House Party, Bradley Thomas Turner was contacted by the Cryptozoological Society of New York City to create music for their museum’s holiday exhibitions. As enigmatic as they are controversial, the secretive society gave the composer free rein to create music that celebrated their profane (and, according to their critics, pseudoscientific) explorations of the darker side of yuletide folklore. The endeavour was denounced by religious groups, the scientific communi…

After following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End. Following relatively hot on the heels of 2023's Tilt (his first in 11 years, not counting his work with Jackson Bailey under the Rezzett guise) Underloop brings Blair's innate knack for building loops and sound structures further to the surface, while allowing his ear for emotional expression to be dialled up a notch. Tho…

A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. All music written and orchestrated by Taylor himself. This is the logical conclusion of everything the man stood for musically - from Azimuth to Johnny Griffin's band to this luxurious symphonic setting. Stan Sulzmann on sopra…

In the centenary year of his birth, Quartet Records unveils for the first time the complete score that Georges Delerue composed for Fred Zinnemann's masterful 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal - a work largely unheard until now, buried beneath the weight of editorial decisions that stripped the film's second half of any musical accompaniment. Based on Frederick Forsyth's bestselling novel, the film follows a professional assassin hired by disgruntled military veterans to eliminate President Ch…

Building upon a prolific period that has witnessed the French composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist deliver roughly a dozen remarkable releases overthe last five years, Delphine Dora joins Marionette with ‘L’ineluctable pulsation du temps’, what might just be her most astounding release to date. Comprising ten keyboard driven compositions across its two sides, in unfurling sheets of texture, timbre, and tone, Dora draws a constellation of touchstones into her fold — Impressionism, Minim…

The masters of Zeuhl return on vinyl! Christian Vander's cosmic vision at its most luminous and transcendent. Originally released in 2012, Félicité Thösz was Magma's first album of new material in 27 YEARS after their 1996 reformation. Think about that for a second. Twenty-seven years! And what a comeback this is. Gone are the martial thunderstorms of Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh - here we get celestial vocal tapestries, Stella Vander's voice soaring like a messenger from another dimension, pian…

Mimosa Pudica brings together two works by Luciano Maggiore, both conceived as live performances structured around the presence and behaviour of an audience. In both cases, rhythmic and formal elements arise from acts of observation and listening: eye contact, involuntary sounds, shifts of attention, hesitation, withdrawal.
 Mimosa Pudica reconstructs the conditions of these works in the absence of an audience. The record operates as a displacement: a concert without spectators, a live situation…

*Limited edition of 100 copies* Finally! The crucial 2021 album by Middlesbrough's Oli Heffernan gets the double vinyl treatment it always deserved. Originally released as a cassette on Cruel Nature Records and gone way too fast, Autodidact II is one of the great documents of UK experimental music from this decade - a sprawling, fog-drenched journey through psychogeography, North Yorkshire folklore and sonic territories that shift under your feet. Recorded during three separate sessions in July …

On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as hard as it dazzles.

Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite tracked at Tonstudio Bauer in late 1976.

On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychic drift.
