Signs
2024 stock. Gerald Cleaver is best known for his career as a top jazz drummer, however, his memories of growing up in Detroit inspired him to create his latest project Signs. This debut as an electronic musician and composer came about in his Brooklyn studio through a long process of looking to translate what he heard, into a new language. Cleaver was born and spent most of his life in Detroit, where he experienced, and was influenced by, the legendary development and blossoming of the Motor Cit…

2024 Repress. Allchival present their second look at the music of Roger Doyle and Operating Theatre (a little known proto synth-pop act and experimental theatre group that he led.) In reverse chronological order the second disc contains music from the United Dairies release of 1979 – ‘Rapid Eye Movements’.

Mercurio
Mercurio is the debut album by Opuntia, the solo project of Mexico City producer Camila de Laborde. After three albums with her duo/band, Camila Fuchs (ATP/Felte, etc.), Camila decides to embark on a new path of musical and interpersonal exploration with Opuntia as her new alias, and with the album Mercurio as a statement of metamorphosis and creative process.
Broadly speaking, Mercurio is a direct impact of beautiful melodies, rhythms, and voices that traverse a leftfield electronic pop axis, s…
Beguiling Isles Trilogy
Sonic travelogue impressions, meditations & reflections on psychoactive experiences, projective imagination, magical speech, dance, and a sense of emergence with the maternal matrix.
"A gradual arc from low key tropical travelogue into full blown fantasy exotica. 'Born Of Earth's Torments' is the most varied of the three, registering somewhere between Martin Denny and Jules Verne. Tracks such as "Body Core" bubble and fizz roots and stems of various traditional styles, as though a transistor rad…
Fabulous Soundtracks
Fabulous Soundtracks, the fourth studio album by reclusive Los Angeles musician Jack Name, is an homage to the IRL world and its twisted and varied romance with the worlds of our minds, in a wild collection of "soundtracks'', each a sonic re-construction dedicated to a distinct scene. Both musically and lyrically, this is Name's most adventurous and genre-defying album. Elements of acid, dance, folk, micro-tonal weirdness, horror, sensuality, impressionism, and bursts of rock fuse with Name's mo…
grain
*300 copies limited edition* Grain is the third Innode release following on from Gridshifter in 2013 and syn in 2021. A new methodology to make the album is applied yet again from the trio of Bernhard Breuer, Steven Hess and Stefan Németh. The approach is more an anti approach where the trio let the process of creation itself steer the development of the recording, without any prior conceptual agenda. Irregular rhythmic patterns often served as the initial springboard for each piece with Breuer …
Saturnalia
"Saturnalia sounds like looking into a crystal ball and seeing your past, present, and future all splayed out for you to contemplate and get a little woozy over. McKeown creates a patchwork of dream sequences and woozy psychedelia that range from low key groove and floating-in-space cosmic horror. “Electronic folk horror” was how it was described to me, and I gotta say I can get on board with that description. But there’s much more happening here. Moments I’m reminded of Colin Stetson’s excellen…
du silence des anges
*200 copies limited edition* With "du silence des anges" Bruno Duplant returns with the second release in his trilogy for Moving Furniture Records, imbued with a certain mysticism and a deep melancholy, but, this time, more luminous, carrying a hope still possible.
Structure
*102 copies limited edition* "Hot on the heals of Inheritance, the collaboration with my brother Tjeerd (who performs as PONI), I have a new solo album called Structure. The music was recorded live at Factor IJ in Amsterdam, during an exhibition of works by Wladimir Zwaagstra (whose art I used for the cover of my CD Less is More). The music was fully improvised, and with only a few small edits presented as mini-album on this new CD. The music was recorded by Fani Konstantinidu at Factor IJ, Amst…
Bain D'Arsenic
Tip! *2024 stock* Recorded at Arsenic - Centre d’art scénique contemporain in Lausanne, Switzerland, October 2016 by Ivan Verda. This record contains a single long and intense track, with a subtle and noisy character, a deep introspection into the feedback and layers of elusive electronics. A contemplative and intense journey. Recorded a few years ago at Arsenic - Center for Contemporary Scenic Art in Lausanne, Switzerland and reworked several times in recent years by the artists.
Ghosts Of Chechnya
What the artist may consider the most formative years for the project and what clubbers may have heard in numerous live sets with the ‘encryption nets’ classic dub track. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is widescreen esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our collapsing world. Fully remastered version and the first time on stand alone LP!
Unknown City
*300 copies limited release* Creeping through an imaginary border, sidesteppin’ through the night like cyber phantoms eavesdropping on early morning machinery shifts, an industrial solstice for pagan mystics. After five years Torino’s mysterious SabaSaba are back with ‘Unknown City’ an imaginary soundtrack for a dystopian city: digital raga, horror Exotica, half-speed techno, metallic dub and organic electronics. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorot…
Censorship Is Killing Music (Gross National Products, 1980 To 1990)
Emotional Rescue presents a compilation of the output of the ground-breaking South African composer, producer, multi-media artist and sound designer, Warrick Sony and his project Kalahari Surfers. Born Warrick Swinney, in Port Elizabeth, 1958, he grew up in Durban and showed an early interest in music, playing in school-based bands, covering songs by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Who. As his influences progressed to Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, Warrick developed an interest in Indian c…
United States of Islam
United States Of Islam is the second part in a series of 4 outstanding double vinyl albums with bonus songs, previously released on CD between 1990 and 1994 on the Australian cult label Extreme Music. Armed with a cleverly provocative title, USoI showcases a moodier side of Muslimgauze. While the trademark blend of driving percussions and minimalism reigns supreme as always, the general feel is much more dreamy and mysterious than on some of Bryn Jones’ more forthright pieces.
The original track…
Unus Et Trinus
*200 copies limited edition* "Among the musicians I have appreciated the most in recent years, a special place is undoubtedly reserved for Lars Bröndum and David Lee Myers. From 2015 onwards, I had the pleasure of playing their songs on the radio transmission The Recognition Test frequently, and inviting them to participate in numerous compilations published by the Unexplained Sounds network. Over time, I realized that, albeit in different ways and forms, their music could integrate and compleme…
Sado Vision
*300 copies limited edition* Sado Vision was a very obsure, S/M & fetishist industrial project from Italy. Clearly inspired by erotic transgressions they attracted the attention of admirers of the most radical and provocative industrial sound. Leded by the Milanese Luca Leuca (aka Leucon) and the unidentified Reverend K, Sado-Vision transformed the concept of studio recording, giving life to real performances in which create musical compositions. Thanks to the crazy attitude of Anjela Water, who…
The Dartmouth Digital Synthesizer
2024 stock. Jon Appleton, Sydney Alonso, and Cameron Jones set out to create a new digital synthesizer at Dartmouth College’s Thayer School of Engineering in 1972. They considered the computer-controlled synthesizer superior to analog because of its “ability to create, by digital means alone, time-variant timbres which make all natural sounds interesting to our ears.” This 1976 recording presents the results of their effort—four different compositions, one each by Jon Appleton, Lars-Gunnar Bodin…
