Stills
Danny Clay' Stills is the debut release of the art / music imprint Iikki, a sister to the Eilean record label, and is an impressive album that is not to be missed.The music of Stills follows on from his Ganymede release for Hibernate – an album that was certainly one of, if not the, best release from Clay to date and certainly one of the strongest minimal electronic / ambient releases of 2015. That album was built around Clay’s manipulations of the first few bars of a Schubert piece and his atte…
Photophonie
Since their launch in 2017, the Paris based imprint, Transversales Disques, has done the seemingly impossible. Not only have they carved out an entirely singular place in the contemporary landscape of reissues and archival releases, but they’ve raised the bar. Largely focusing on previously unreleased recordings and works, one after another, they’ve built an astounding catalog of efforts by seminal artists like Bernard Parmegiani, Philip Glass, François Bayle, Ennio Morricone, Igor Wakhevitch, a…
Volume Massimo
**Transparent turquoise vinyl** On his stellar debut LP for Mute, Nine Inch Nails keyboardist and formidable solo artist, Alessandro Cortini taps into a poignantly melodic yet ascetic vein of his prized, gauzy style. Volume Massimo, combines his fondness for melody with the rigour of experimental practice that follows on from 2017's universally acclaimed album Avanti. Eight tracks of deftly arranged synthesizers saturated with sonic artefacts and luscious pop sensibilities.Surely well known to y…
Miss Mauger
A lost gem from 1983 'Miss Mauger' is the debut LP of Operating Theatre, a little known proto synth-pop act and experimental theatre group led by avant garde composer Roger Doyle. Featuring the vocals of future Hollywood actress Olwen Fouéré alongside pulsing synths, brass, a vocoder and the electro acoustic production talents of Doyle himself, it's the first time a Fairlight sampler was used in an Irish studio setting and gives a prescient but alternative take on the new wave sound that came to…
Tao Of I Volume 2
**Strictly limited yellow vinyl edition of 300 copies** Beautiful, highly unusual arrangements for synthetic bass & traditional Chinese strings on this spellbinding second volume of Iona Fortune’s ’Tao Of I’ series, the first volume of which was one of the standout albums of 2017 and still on heavy rotation here. Fortune once again re-frames three-thousand year old Chinese text and instrumentation within the context of hyper-modern bass music, stripped bare. There’s really nothing else quite lik…

Psykho Genetika
Psykho Genetika is Konstruktivist's greatest record and one of the best classic Industrial albums of all time. Recorded in 1983 after Last Moments of 1923 and A Dissembly, it came out on Third Mind Records in the same year. Sadly, this outstanding album didn't get the recognition it deserved, due to lack of promotion and funding. The sounds on this record were so extreme that they couldn't be pressed onto a vinyl album, so it was first heard as it should be in 1993 when it was re-issued on the b…
Köhn 1
**300 copies** First time vinyl release of this Belgian electronic cult classic, originally recorded in 1998 on minidisc by Köhn. A world where the sound of skipping CDs mutate in a shoegaze vibe, hunted mosquitoes are locked in psycho-acoustic melancholy and ringing phone songs slide into brutal grime beats echoing the early days of Belgian electronic body music. The remastered album comes with the original artwork and new liner notes by Brecht Ameel (Razen) and Jürgen De Blonde. "There is an o…

RMX
**2019 stock** The Residents are fiddlers. Not fiddle players, just fiddlers. They like to play around and see different ways their songs could sound. They call this RMX. Some say RMX stands for "remix" but with The Residents, who knows? While the RMX concept is mostly associated with two album projects (The King and Eye RMX and WB:RMX), The Residents had also tinkered with individual songs. These were released as free streaming tracks on the band's official MySpace page (yes, they had one).In 2…

He has collaborated with artists such as Zola Jesus, Iron Fist Of The Sun, Kinit Her, Sylve…
I Murdered Mommy!
**2019 stock** The Residents' soundtrack to a never completed CD ROM game. The 1990s saw The Residents release a series of groundbreaking CD-ROMs. Freak Show was followed up by the interactive album Gingerbread Man and then the role playing game Bad Day On the Midway. All of these stood head and shoulders above the drivel which increasingly clogged the CD-ROM market and all featured Residential music as an integral part. I Murdered Mommy! would have been no exception.Inscape, the company which h…

Field recordings made on different trips, accompanied by analog synthesizers and the use of the home studio itself as one more instrument, give form to the eight cuts contained on Quadern de bitàcola.

Decouple ][ Series
**300 copies** Experimental solo cellist Oliver Coates (Rvng Intl., Prah) and techno-dub minimalist Spatial (Infrasonics) coalesce with the new installment for the Decouple ][ Series by subverting -through subliminal interventions and refined focus changes - pre-packaged music forms and textures in favor of new self-organizing tendencies. Surprisingly enough, two producers of such different DNAs converge to a similar systemic approach, delivering a set of music that flows with solid and endearin…
