Upcoming releases
Che mi Guardi Attraverso Una Fiamma
Tip! A dream within a dream - Innocent and whimsical song-craft from a vibrant pocket of the contemporary Italian underground via Naples-born Lucia Sole aka La Festa Delle Rane. New split release between ANF and Tokyo friends Conatala.
It’s impossible not to be totally captivated by this. Lucia’s explorative, imperfect song-writing leans into a sense of cranky, domesticated nostalgia and soft melancholy - songs (you can just about call them that) are just about held together by a loose thread …
Ebbing Ice Lines
Ebbing Ice Lines is Pablo Diserens’s attentive fieldwork voyage across the Arctic’s melting frontiers—a collection of sonic essays mapping disappearing ice through the sounds of water, animal life, and shifting glacial surfaces, bringing listeners into intimate proximity with an environment in flux.
Luurankolauluja
Luurankolauluja is Uusi Aika’s deep dive into spiritual fusion, where Nordic folk, modal jazz, and raga-like improvisations meet. Rooted in forest myth and cosmic calm, the album’s six compositions form a slow-burning suite of luminous, contemplative beauty.
They Came from Beyond Space
They Came from Beyond Space by James Stevens is a restored original soundtrack featuring vibrant orchestral electronics and moody jazz, pairing sci-fi suspense with inventive melodic writing.
6 Days in Leysin
6 Days in Leysin showcases Greg Foat in a quietly adventurous mood: drawing inspiration from the Swiss setting, he gathers a small ensemble to record original pieces defined by warmth, melodic transparency, and a delicate blend of acoustic and electronic jazz elements. The collection is a testament to Foat’s ongoing search for fresh forms in contemporary jazz, rooted in lyrical minimalism and atmospheric production.
More Rags, Ballads, and Blues 1971-1985
More Rags, Ballads, and Blues 1971-1985 unveils Allen Ginsberg’s intimate musical experiments from the First Blues era, collecting rare recordings and performances in a candid, engaging tribute to his cross-disciplinary storytelling. Collaborations and unguarded rehearsal takes reveal the gentle wit, poetic fervor, and sonic curiosity that defined his work during these pivotal years.
Before Aksak Maboul - Documents & Experiments 1969-1977
Belgium’s avant-rock legends explore their prehistory in a special archival project. Retrieved from long-forgotten reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes, this collection of previously-unreleased tracks unveils some of the meanders which eventually led to the inception of Aksak Maboul in 1977. These 17 tracks and 80 minutes of music will take us for a stroll through moments of free rock, improv, quasi-kraut, modular & ambient electronics, and various experiments. Out on November 21 on digital, limited…
Simultaneous
Simultaneous reveals Pamela Z’s fascination with the intersection of speech and music, blending voice, electronics, chamber ensemble, and video into an immersive, multi-layered exploration. Through looping, gesture control, and narrative fragments, the piece meditates on simultaneity—how overlapping events and speech form new harmonies and meaning.
Infinity Gradient
Infinity Gradient unites Tristan Perich’s meticulous 1-bit electronics and the grand timbre of James McVinnie’s pipe organ in a sustained, seven-part exploration of sonic architecture. This hour-long symphony envelops listeners in a hybrid sound world that fuses mathematical clarity with the emotive breadth of the organ, traversing austere pulses and prismatic harmonic clusters with exceptional scale and subtlety.
Round Sky
Round Sky brings together Léo Dupleix and Asterales in an exploration of just intonation and radiant calm. The album’s three compositions subtly merge analogue synthesizer, harpsichord, spinet, bass, flute, and guitar in landscapes of nuanced minimalism. Methodical in structure yet alive to spontaneous beauty, the record unfolds as a quietly luminous meditation on the complexities of harmony and texture.
Paperopolis
A conjuration between our favourite dreamweaver Spencer Clark and Italian psychic traveller Mondo Riviera, Lorenzo's Oil present an oracle of aural travelogues between seen and unseen worlds on 'Paperopolis'.
Two likeminded individuals on their distinct but complementary quest for the netherworld, Clark and Riviera's meeting of the minds projects sonic artefacts assembled from lucid dreaming keyboard pads, narcotic late night TV rhythms, spiralling sequences and mangled voices.
The 10+ minutes '…
World Without Form Volume 1
World Without Form was originally released in 2012 on CD format only, the album is now being made available on vinyl for the first time, in two separate volumes because of the length of the recording. Each of the two volumes also contain a previously unreleased track from the sessions. Volume 1 has ‘Ithnaan’ which is an earlier version of the track released as ‘Man From Varanasi’ on Nat’s ‘Cosmic Language’ album.
Morality
*500 copies limited edition* Following the limited edition CD reissue of Broken Flag’s 'Never Say When' compilation earlier this year comes this new reissue of 1985’s 'Morality', also originally released as a cassette on the same label. Featuring too many tracks to go on one disc, however, 'Morality' is now presented as a 2CD set remastered by Puppy38. As with 'Never Say When', this compilation documents the nascent work of many artists still active today in one form or another besides a number …
Fobia
Aylu’s album Fobia marks a pivotal exploration into the spaces between fear and resilience, channeling personal experiences with agoraphobia and claustrophobia into textured, avant-garde electronics. Through a tightly-woven sonic language, Fobia moves from suffocating tension to moments of spiritual release—turning solitary struggle into collective resistance and introspection, with each piece mapping an emotional topography that remains intimately and universally relevant.
Sama'a - Audition
Known for their exhilarating live-to-record albums such as last year's critically acclaimed Wood Blues and Giant Beauty, سماع [Sama'a] (Audition) is the first of two releases that will surface after [Ahmed]’s first studio recording sessions at North London’s The Fish Factory in early 2025.

The Return of the Durutti Column
The Return Of The Durutti Column is an iconic debut, pairing Vini Reilly’s introspective guitar sketches with Martin Hannett’s atmospheric production. Hailed as a bridge between post-punk, ambient, and classical motifs, the album stands out for its refined vulnerability and timeless melodic experimentation.
Codex of Pleasure and Pain
Codex Of Pleasure And Pain unites dark ambient, drone, and experimental artists to honor Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. Eleven projects evoke the film’s eerie sensuality and dread, creating a bleak, immersive listening experience marked by drones, textures, and spectral rhythms.
The Book of Job
The Book of Job is a boundary-pushing work by Super Grupa Bez Fałszywej Skromności, merging avant-garde jazz, spiritual recitation, and sound experiments. Conceived in martial-law Poland, the album is both requiem and protest—an immersive journey through collective struggle, transcendence, and artistic resilience.
Processing Music
Casimir Geelhoed’s Processing Music is a probing exploration into the subtle, elusive boundaries between software-driven sonics and fragile acoustic realities. This album intensifies recurring themes of transiency and overstimulation, inviting listeners into a shifting landscape where memory and perception interact with innovative digital processing techniques.
Veruschka
Veruschka, composed by Ennio Morricone and performed by Edda Dell'Orso, is a landmark in Italian soundtrack tradition. The album, first released on CD in 1995 with 14 tracks and later expanded, encapsulates lounge moods, ambient textures, and avant-garde fragments, capturing the ephemeral world of fashion and introspection with atmospheric precision. Double transparent blue vinyl edition of 500.
