*30 copies limited edition* Tantalus by Nathan Moody is an otherworldly journey of dark majesty and tragedy, told through an utterly unique sound palette: SOMA Lyra-8 synthesizer, transducers that vibrate cymbals, singing bowl, kemenche fiddle, violin, electric cello, Appalachian dulcimer, and wind instruments made of PVC pipe. Rhythms are revealed between the beating and modulation of oscillators, polyrhythmic extended techniques, and the scrappy repeats of noisy delay lines. Traditional wester…
*175 copies limited edition* NEY, a self-titled debut, is an unbridled exploration of a band’s beginning, a tapestry of intimate field recordings, deconstructed fragments and spontaneous encounters, pieced together in two long-form recordings.

In dealing with the loss of a loved…
Gaining prominence during the 1980s home recording movement, Randy Greif has built a devoted following over the years for his unorthodox compositional style. On his early tapes, industrial and dark ambient textures are melded with cinematic song structure more akin to the most wildly experimental of post-punk acts. “Golden Joy Club”, first released as a cassette in 1986, is a well-known highlight of this era. Transferred from its original master tape and newly restored for CD by Grant Richardson…

"something"... these are incredible strong, deep and complex drone compositions, drones with the spirit of the…
The Return of Sai Yoshiko! At first glance, the partnership between Jojo Hiroshige and Yoshiko Sai seems implausible. After all, what could the King of Noise and the mystical folk singer have in common? Released in 2001, and marking the first musical work from Sai in over two decades, Crimson Voyage is dark swirling ambience, a spirited improvisation between a master of dark noise, and one of Japan’s most underrated singers. Sai’s voice, still as exhilarating as it was during Mangekyo, bursts fo…
The new album from 400 Lonely Things, produced by William Basinski, is a dark ambient, sample-based séance to the Banning Mill -- a real-life decaying "mansion" and haven for artists, freaks, and misfits in the backwoods of the American Deep South in the 1970s-1990s -- and an extraordinary piece of art that lived there. An archaeological excursion in found sound -- wandering through the art and memory of a real place, Mother Moon is an origin story for 400 Lonely Things. In the '90s, Craig Varia…

Working mostly at the Roundhouse, the pair find a…

However there were a few well developed nuggets that Frans wanted to be given special attention. They were the works he had created together with Johan Nÿlan…

Years later, we have further confirmation of the creative excellence and variety of musical languages that flourished in the Persian land.
