El ser y el tiempo (1976-1978)
*250 copies limited edition* Almost five years after the kickstart compilation "El sol desde oriente", Passat Continu moves forward with more Segura's unreleased stuff. Inspired by Martin Heidegger's "Sein und Zeit". "El ser y el tiempo" are the first solo recordings of the Tenerife-born composer, originally a seven track record that together make up a little anomaly in the Spanish experimental music scene. This sound document recorded between 1976 and 1978 is presented fully remastered from its…
Malaria
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 150 copies. First time reissued on vinyl* Inspired by the journals, letters, and photographs of James Jenkins, 1942-1943 from Luzon, Philippines. Writing letters in the rain under the canvas, listening to records played from the center of the mosquito nets, or from the veranda overlooking the city lights. It may not have been in the same places.. Under the waterfall, ignoring their calls, receiving a Dear John Letter, or being iced on your anniversary.…
The Everything And The Nothing
First time on vinyl, originally released in 2008, remastered by Stephan Mathieu. Celer is a husband (Will) and wife (Danielle) duo from California that use a variety of strings as the basis for their sound. Cello, viola, violin and the sounds are mixed in with field recordings, choir, live theremin and then tape spliced and re-assembled in varying lengths to create a loop base. Those sounds are then sampled, layered and processed. The result is a shimmering orchestra. Periods of silence between …
間
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* Society, as we have constituted it, will have no place for me, has none to offer; but Nature, whose sweet rains fall on unjust and just alike, will have clefts in the rocks where I may hide, and secret valleys in whose silence I may keep undisturbed. —Oscar Wilde, De Profundis Love is the voice under all silences, The hope which has no opposite in fear; The strength so strong mere force is feebleness: The truth more first than sun more last than star —…
Stikhiya
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* “Having realised the errors in rational knowledge I found it easier to free myself from the temptation of futile theorizing” Leo Tolstoy (1880) I understand this phrase as an expression of Stikhiya, the word used by Russian poet Aleksandr Blok in early 20th century to describe the fundamental value of primitive immediacy. Contradictory to intellectualism and rationality, Stikhiya is emerging from organic holistic experiences, it is perceived as an unf…
Under My Skin
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* Gintas K has been active as a composer, performer and interdisciplinary artist since the 1990s, focusing on experimental digital music aesthetics — overloaded massive structures, static and physically overwhelming frequencies, melodic ambiences, voice and field recordings. Gintas K has released several albums, four of which in "Crónica: Lengvai / 60 x one minute audio colours of 2kHz sound" (2006), "Lovely Banalities" (2009), "So On" (2010), and now "…
Hiku Komuro, Hikikomori
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* This album was created from January and December 2016 in Vigo, Galicia, using digital media in a Windows laptop, and hacked VST plug-ins from the late 1990s. Samples from old videogames were used as source materials, recorded with the freeware emulator Nestopia (v1.40) by Martin Freij, FM synthesis with Sound Forge (v6.0) and other synthesized sounds created with the modular synthesis freeware application SynFactory (v1.16rc1) by Peter Wendrich and Ru…
The Waste Land
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 100 copies.* Realities, appearing as multiple layers and folds in which memories, cognitions, perceptions are coined and ready to emerge. The starting point for The Waste Land was an invitation to compose a twenty minutes soundtrack for a documentary movie. Accordingly, Luca Forcucci received six minutes of a field recording, without any mention of its own nature, or any information about the documentary. Forcucci didn’t ask anything about it, instead he listened …
Feedback Works 1969-1970
**2022 small repress** Alga Marghen very proudly presents a remastered version of the complete documentation of Eliane Radigue sound installations from 1969-1970, including the broad tectonic vibrations of "Omnht," the celestial voices of "Usral," the massive chant of "Stress Osaka," and more -- the works of this artist's feedback period finally revealed. It is amazing that Radigue could build such formidably organic sonic edifices in her home studio with the primitive machines given to her by P…
Deleuze Deluxe Doll
Tip! *In process of stocking. Limited edition of 200 copies.* Background music for the late Anthropocene: play this loudly for as long as you want or can stand. Verena Becker had always been a bit of a loner. She loved spending time alone in nature, hiking, and exploring new places. But when Verena was sixteen, she met a grizzly bear. The bear was friendly, and they became friends. Verena would often go on long walks with the bear, and they would talk about everything. One day, Verena asked the …
Hope For Madness
*In process of stocking.* On the occasion of Syd Barrett's 75th birthday, in 2020/21, Gonzo Records released "Love You: A tribute To Syd Barrett", practically all of the "boy's" albums remade by a host of groups from around the world. The more than competent Shinding magazine listed among the best tracks "Feel" by His Majesty The Baby, an Italian ghost band, actually Francesco Paolo Paladino (an old acquaintance: Atrox, Doubling Riders, and many solo albums) and Luca Chino Ferrari (poet, music w…
Some Moments 1994 - 2022
Kaplan's second release represents a collection of his versatile work through last three decades. Leaving the previous concept of short abstract vignettes, he moves into more "structured" approach, more complex explorations of loop asthetics, cut-up techniques but also pieces for improvised ensembles.
In Another Land Pt. 3
*In process of stocking.* "This is the third and concluding part of the trilogy "In Another Land“. It is not the dialectic synthesis of its antagonistic predecessors, it is just one of three equivalent antipodes that could have been released in any order. Mostly percussive and constantly transforming structures are weaving their net through both sides of this album. Processes of convergence follow moments of decay, high event density alternates with moments of quiet, aimless meandering. A furthe…
Atti Innaturali
* Limited edition of 200 copies.* Simon Balestrazzi’s new effort make use of a rather sparse instrumentation. The prepared strings of a battered Ukrainian tsymbaly (a percussion-stringed instrument similar to the hammered dulcimer) are excited with an eBow and only occasionally struck. Also they are processed in real time through a ring modulator, a digital spectral delay and a looper, stretching the sonic possibilities in an unnatural way. This iridescent mass, sometimes rich in abrasive clatte…
The Ladies Home Tickler And Other Exotic Devices
* Red with black splatters. Gatefold Cover * An essential historical document for the new and lifelong Nurse With Wound follower. Classic tape cut-ups, radio sludge, surrealism, and abstract chaos. The birth of NWW, a project that is now in its fifth decade. Recorded back in 1980, this expanded collection is the definitive version of The Ladies Home Tickler, originally released in 1993. The NWW line-up for these recordings was: Steven Stapleton - record player, cassette machine, noise; Jim Thirl…
Gainer
Critically acclaimed harpist and experimental composer Mary Lattimore and big amp ambient pioneers Growing have united for their first collaboration: Gainer. Remastered here from its original release (previously digital only) Gainer is now available for the first time on vinyl in plush packaging including UV spot gloss ‘invisible ink’ style jacket printing. Comprised of two side-long pieces, Gainer is less a meeting point of harp + drone guitars and much more a singular creative group vision mad…
Twister
*In process of stocking.* Goth ASMR hardcore flex from Opal X, alias of Astrud Steehouder (Nonexistent, Paper Dollhouse) exploring a sort of dank hypnagogic sound mulched from zonked electronics, gynoid vox and graveyard atmospheres - one for fans of Christoph De Babalon or Ectoplasm Girls
Chasing up 2020’s ’Something like the sun fell’ tape as Process XXI Opal, Steehouder veils herself under the Opal X aegis for a particularly maudlin session that repeats on both sides, all primed for looping t…
The Real Occult's In The Pubs Of The East End, In The Sinking Ships Of The Thames
*In process of stocking.* Best yet from Luke J Murray’s multiple, ‘nuum-surfing personas; a murky deep topographic reading of East London’s palimpsest of paranormal energies, hardcore and pubcore.
Splicing fragments of overheard convos from East London public houses with a palette of sawn-off jungle, Eski grime, drill, UKG and plasmic ooze, Murray’s first act as Superior London Pulp is a logical successor to turns as Stonecirclesamper and with Nonexistant and The Iceman Junglist Kru.

All Hail Mega Force
*In process of stocking.* The Howling is a collaborative project started by writer Ken Hollings and sound artist Howlround devoted exclusively to their shared love of text, audiotape and trash aesthetics.
"An intense collision of spoken word and analogue tape effects, the Howling's first performance took place at the Iklectik in September 2019 as part of a special programme to celebrate The Tapeworm's 10th anniversary.
Despite the pandemic, they have managed to continue working and conferring t…
