Friendly Electrons
"Friendly Electrons" presents the electronic side of the original Ton Steine Scherben drummer, book author and longtime Conrad Schnitzler friend / collaborator Wolfgang Seidel.
Psychic Panorama II
A much anticipated and perhaps at least partially dreaded follow-up to the first volume released back in 2021. Compositions for synthesizer & turntable recorded winter 2023 at Studio Malign in Gothenburg. The 'brutish and cold minimalism that resembles Nord or a David Tudor on benzos' still kind of rings true, but Vol II is more than just mere repetition. Psychedelic electronics indeed, including a haunting ode to Swedish goddess Marie Fredriksson, and another massive and innovative slow burner …

C.D.
Colonia Dignidad was the settlement of a German evangelical sect. After being prosecuted for child abuse in Germany, the group fled to Chile in 1961. Like similar religious sects, it was characterized by the outward appearance of a unified, godly community with well-tempered cultural activities and social welfare, but inwardly and in its environment by oppression, sexual abuse, and exploitation. In the 1970s, it unquestioningly inserted itself into Pinochet's regime of terror, aiding in the impr…

Ha Ha Laughing Record
James Twig Harper Johnston's tribute to the legendary Okeh laughing record. (if ya don't know...look it up!) It's funny (pun intended), I get a message from Harper saying he's working on a "Laughing Record" lathe... I'm like.. "Woah, I was just working on some "giggle loops" myself... I'll send em over!", "Perfect!" . A few more giggles from our friend Nora and he's in monkey business! He mixes those w/ some classic canned laugh tracks and sends em thru his new computerized "Anti-System" and get…

Self Sabotage
*80 copies limited edition.* Self Sabotage is a new album by prolific Slovak composer and guitar player Jakub Volovár aka URN. Volovár spent several years in Denmark and Self Sabotage is his fourth (and third for Stoned to Death) and last album composed in the atmosphere of Aarhus, which struck Volovár with its “omnipresent depression”, however due to school duties he stayed few years too long. One could read this album as a parting letter with a place that kept you under a flaccid but permanent…
That's Understanding
Having listened to this disk 20 or so times over the past week, I have been struck time and again by the gently naif quality of Dan Beckman-Moon's songwriting. I keep thinking of Neil Young's earliest solo tunes, particularly 'Sugar Mountain,' as a sort of spiritual touchstone, although truthfully the music doesn't really sound anything like that. Still, the emotional core of the material has a similar sweetness and simplicity, while managing to steer clear of mawkishness with a nimble delicacy …
A Cardinal With a Sign of Blood
Full Spectrum Records returns with a very special project from our own Andrew Weathers, who is proud to present the first-ever long-player release under his own name – ’A Cardinal With a Sign of Blood.’
Brown
2024 stock. The Final Act of the “chromatic trilogy”, Brown is underpinned by a dual alchemy of Earthly matter and fascination of substance. The mechanical weaving of noises - rustles and dialogues, filtered via tape manipulation - merge with The Great Saunites sensibilites resulting in a dark and fragmented, delirious journey.
Shamanic Twilight
2024 stock. Liholesie is a sophisticated Russian ethnic-ambient act, whose first demo was released back in 2002. From 2004 to 2008, Liholesie released four albums and a split with several metal bands. The project's music underwent changes from epic folk ambience to a more ritual atmosphere, so Liholesie became one of the most famous Russian ambient projects, whose audience included the fans of different styles, from black metal to neofolk. Then there was a period of silence, which ended only in…

*2024 stock* First proper CD release from Nautical Almanac's Twig Harper.

Twig Harper continues in the alternate universe tradition of his three volume Intuitive American Esoteric LP series, with 43 minutes psychedelic tape manipulations and droning synthesizer, elec…
