Black To Comm - Aosuke
Limited edition of 500 copies! This vinyl-only split-LP release is a meeting of two of the most interesting bands coming out of Hamburg, Germany at this moment, both continuing the long tradition of both challenging and explorative music coming from this city in the last decades. From Krautrock to the origins of the so-called Neue Deutsche Welle from experimental sound artists to some of the finest Pop Ambient, Hamburg is regularly spitting out some of the most singular artists on this planet. B…
47 Songs Humans Shouldn't Sing
Eugene Carchesio's renown as a visual artist has unjustly eclipsed his extraordinary output as a soundmaker. Since the mid 80s, the Brisbane artist has steadfastly proliferated a sack full of barely released cassettes and cdrs under the D.N.E. moniker.Twenty years ago, he emptied his wallet to press 250 copies of the appropriately titled LP 47 Songs Humans Shouldn't Sing'. Then compact discs arrived. The local pressing plant closed and the master tape went with it. Copies were circulated to frie…
Painting Sky Together
Wroclaw based sound artist Tomasz Bednarczyk has a penchant for capturing the emotion in moments of stasis. It's this acute sense of expanding fleeting moments and exploring their detail that informs the sonic palette of his latest full length recording Painting Sky Together. Akin to his acclaimed debut edition 'Summer Feelings' (Room40), which elegantly documented a uniquely Polish experience of summer replete with distantly warm bursts of piano, and crisp glitch ridden pulses, Painting Sky Tog…
Intangible Opacity
Intangible Opacity dares to visit the place where the Earth’s
atmosphere ends and the infinity of space begins, following the physical
and chemical processes that occur in the ionosphere. The sound is based
on warm but at the same time somehow distanced synthetic textures, and
classical “el-music”.
Gino Fioravanti, alias Aglaia, that with each new release continues to
expand their vocabulary and to enriches its palette of sounds and
colors. The immersive power of this work has reached the …

Black Sea
Black Sea is the much-anticipated new album from Christian Fennesz, his first since Venice. Fennesz’s career has come a long way since Instrument, his debut for Mego in 1995, and his first solo album Hotel Paral.lel which followed in 1998. Endless Summer [Mego, 2001] brought him to a much wider audience and Venice underlined his mastery of melody and dissonance. His songs usually embody the skilful application and manipulation of dense sonic textures with a genuine feel for the live, and real-ti…
Basis
'Basis' is based on recordings of acoustic instruments. All sounds were processed and layered into compositions by Steinbrüchel. Through this processing Steinbrüchel revealed hidden structures and melodies and isolated them, creating new melodic and organic textures without losing the soul of the original. These seven tracks reveal a new side in his music. Tonal harmonics have never before played such an important role and each track contains layers of subtle shifting and interweaving melodies, …
Isabelle Eberhardt: The Oblivion Seeker
Another Schutze soundtrack, this is for a relatively big-budget, commercial film, and is consequently one of his most conventional recordings. However, it does showcase his talents as a composer and a manipulator of synthesized sound. Acting as a studio "one man band," Schutze has created a score which is lush and fully orchestral, with extensive use of string, horn and woodwind voicings, and some fine contrapuntal writing. Several sections even seem to follow traditional classical forms such as…
colori
The very first new recording from Maurizio Bianchi (MB) since his decision to quit the arena of sound in 1984. Yes, he's back, the world-wide recognized master of apocalyptic electronics has decided to come back to music, opening up a new phase for his creativity.
The sad mac

Stephan Mathieu's original Japanese edition copies of his lost classic, recorded and produced between Summer 2001 and 2004 and originally released on the Headz label from Tokyo in the Winter of 2004. All the factors that make Mathieu's trademark sound today are already in full play here, the spectral drones, early instruments an…
Die Hennen Zähne
**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
Generators
As "Sleep" begins there is a suggestion made, a hypnotic motion meant only to seduce the mind into the belief that Darren Tate and Colin Potter are intent on relaxing muscle and slowing brain activity to a crawl. The hum of electronics blows easily until random sounds—coughing, restlessness, twisting and turning—bolt through the still waters of the track. Slowly developing melodic themes, almost too distant to piece together, stretch from their slumber and begin a slow crawl through the lamp-lit…
