   Lino Capra Vaccina - Metafisiche Del Suono (LP)
   
   For fans of the Italian avant-garde, few names inspire the loyalty and devotion offered to the percussionist and composer Lino Capra Vaccina - a perfect emblem of the country’s extraordinary movement of musical Minimalism. He first gained note as a member of Aktuala, a project which laid the groundwork for a entire generation of practitioners following in their wake - creating a hybrid of rock, avant-garde, and ancient musics, while incorporating a diverse number of sonic traditions from across the globe - African, Middle Eastern, Indian, etc. Vaccina’s career as composer has been marked by two distinct features, an incredibly high bar of quality and ambition, and a tragically slim amount of recorded output. Following his departure from Aktuala, he worked extensively with others - Juri Camisasca, Franco Battiato, etc, and within the short lived super group Telaio Magnetico, but his solo efforts have been slow to emerge, appearing as carefully considered statements which are so remarkable and singular, that they pull the rug from beneath the entire world of experimental approach. In 1978 he released the legendary LP Antico Adagio, and wouldn’t be heard from again until 1992’s equally extraordinary L'Attesa. In the years since, only a tiny handful of recordings have emerged, most recently in the hands of the Italian imprint Dark Companion, who now returns with Metafisiche Del Suono, the latest installment in Vaccina’s astounding canon of work.

   INADE Aldebaran 2xLP
   
   Twenty-one years after it´s first release in 1996 one of the genre defining works of the dark ambient era is available again for the first time on vinyl.
   
   Aldebaran is the first pillar of Inade´s Audio Mythology with walls of solid deep and pulsating sound waves, crushing explosions of stellar noises, wails and voices dragged from the very depths of space itself, along with blanketing swathes of night-encrusted atonal skitterings echoing in dark cathedrals. Re-mastered for vinyl by the hands of Meister Wahnmann (Secretlab), and expanded with additional material using the same recording devices from the original sessions. Presented in gatefold sleeve.
   
   `In the band of Truth my heart is opened. I feel, welling up and flowing through my body, The spring of the one inexorable life. I stand in the power of the Eternal One.´ Ansur-Arahi-sof ur

   Colin Potter - "The Abominable Slowman" Lp 16GBP +p&p
   "The Abominable Slowman", is the logical follow-on from his previous 2015 LP “Rank Sonata”. Like that album, there are elements that were recorded many years ago, but this work also contains new music. Again, the emphasis is on rhythm, although the rhythmic components range from conventional drum sounds to strange electronic and/or mutated outbursts, often accompanied by squalling guitars. As to what this sounds like, keywords would be soundtrack, experimental, ambient, electronic psychedelia, contemporary, drone.... There's constant experimentation throughout the album, a search for never-before heard sounds to create obscure atmospheres and a pleasantly disturbing feeling of disquietude.
   The LP is housed in a beautiful grey cardboard sleeve, hand-printed by letterpress, and die cut to reveal the printed inner sleeve, which features a number of pictures of The Abominable Slowman during the recording of the album at IC Studio’s current London location. Comes with a high quality protective poly oversleeve.
   “This abomination was recorded at various locations of IC Studio. There are elements here that were begun over 20 years ago but I could never figure out what to do with them. Eventually I worked it out. Time moves slowly.”

   Review:
   URUK – I Leave A Silver Trail Through Blackness.
   
   URUK is a new musical project from longstanding experimentalists and serial collaborators Massimo Pupillo (Zu, Triple Sun) and Thighpaulsandra (Coil, Julian Cope, Spiritualized and, most recently, UUUU). If you’re familiar with the work of either or both you’ll want to give it a try. Meeting each other a couple of years ago they both confessed admiration for one another’s work and, almost inevitably, they then decided to do something together. I Leave a Silver Trail Through Blackness is a single, lengthy, drone piece that displays both their experience and mastery. If you can imagine something between Zu’s Jhator album from earlier in the year and Coil’s moon music phase then you’re in roughly the right area.

    black plastique case with burnt in line-work. Get lost in drones that slowly evolve and shift by mixing the sounds of the 6 oscillators. Each
    has a VOLUME control, a body-contact and/or by a light sensitive LDR
    plug-in (the 3.5mm mono-socket of that works as a second body-contact
    and can also be used for other variable resistors, such as ribbon
    potentiometers. EXPERIMENTAL RESISTANCE). The audio sum of the 6
    oscillators and an optional external input (mono) run through a highly
    resonant low-pass filter with FREQUENCY and a RESONANCE control. This
    device has an ultra violet power indicator LED and a OUTPUT VOLUME
    control. Including Power-adapter (euro) and 2 LDR-plugs.

    Henning Christiansen
    
    Long neglected and overlooked, the composer and artist Henning Christiansen was one the 20th Century’s most striking creators of sound. A pioneering member of Fluxus’ Danish arm, he possessed a singular vision, driving his work into uncharted realms and sculpting a body of work which resembles little else. We are thrilled to announce two remarkable releases, comprised of archival works recorded in 1970 and in the late 80s, now issued on vinyl for the first time by Milan based imprint Holidays Records.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    Henning Christiansen was an incongruous mirror for the paradoxes of 20th century creative practice. He gave his context what it demanded - visionary and singular work, but was so radical that almost no one knew what to do with him, forcing him into the position of an outsider. Of all the composers working within the cradle of Fluxus, his work falls among the closest to its primary intent, destroying hierarchy, orthodoxy, and categorization - dissembling long cemented ideas about what music was understood to be - a truth, crystallized through the purity of ideas, which threads its way across the two releases in our hands.
    
    Schafe statt Geigen (Sheep instead of Violins) and “Verena” Vogelzymphon (Bird Symphony) were composed in 1988 and 1990, first appearing as a tiny CD gallery edition issued by Bernd Klüser. Both works, each occupying a single of this LP edition, extend from one of Christiansen’s long standing conceptual strategies - deploying recordings of animals as stand-ins for musical instruments, cows (with dogs) and birds respectively. While each work allows these source to take the natural lead, at times masquerading as field recordings, both feature subtle tonal and electronic interventions by the composer, creating strange and brilliant compositions which shift the terms and subjects of music as they were long understood. Brilliant and beautiful challenges to the ear and mind... Soundohm 2017

    The Iranian Compilation of Dark Ambient by Cold Spring Rec.
    A gathering of majestic, heavy, dark ambient, ritual, drone and noise music from Iran. Highly original and monolithic, with stunning production, Visions Of Darkness stands shoulder to shoulder with the giants of the Dark Ambient scene.
    
    In a country where youth culture has been heavily restricted for so long, it’s significant when a cultural form such as this has an opportunity to reach a wider audience – aided by the abstract nature of dark ambient, drone and noise. In comparison, the dance music scene has a harder time taking root in Iran due to the illegality of men and women dancing in public together. However, the growth of the experimental electronic scene is going to be about more than a mere novelty reaction to a political paradigm shift.
    The darkness here is a consequence of the mood of the artists – darker after the country was put on a black list and more restrictions were applied to many things, including monetary transactions to and from Iran. As a consequence, Iranian artists have a great difficulty getting the resources to better develop their projects. Despite this, the enthusiasm and will for Iranian musicians to promote their music shines through.

    HESYCHIA
    “Metanoia” CD/Digital (94th Cycle)
    
    New project by Austrian Arthur Rosar (former member of Abigor, Walser…). The album is a meditation on freedom from all passions (apatheia) and repentance (metanoia) through fundamental concepts established by early christian mysticism (the desert fathers) with respect to zen buddhism and pre-christian European traditions. An aural guide to force the removal of all illusions and be in total awareness of the eternal now, forging a stillness of the soul, going beyond the mundane. The music is a savvy achievement of total surrender through improvised analog atmospherics and field recordings. Recorded during lent 2016 A.D. by Arthur Rosar with Erik Mayer at Bethlehem, Vienna.
    Artwork by Dehn Sora.

    SHEDIR
    “Falling Time” CD/Digital (102nd Cycle)
    
    First solo work by Italian musician Martina Betti. “Falling Time” is an aural ticket to a non place. Swirling ambient sounds made of processed field recordings converge into a richly textured and harmonically layered narrative. The tracks scan the phases of ascension to a suspended and formless destination, free from the bounds of time and space: a rite of passage. We are nowhere, a journey with no boundaries or restrictions transforming the smallness of ordinary life into transcendent magnitudes. Building on constant cinematic tension, frictions and collisions of sounds, through which the mind is transformed, freed from daily dualities, at one with it’s psychic abilities. Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space.

    Music With Memory is comprised of three archival works. The first, entitled Interspecies Smalltalk, was commissioned in 1984 by John Cage and Merce Cunningham, to accompany Cunningham’s dance piece Pictures. The final result took form as a collaboration with the violist and renowned experimental composer Takehisa Kosugi, and is as incredible and beautiful as they come, stretching across an entire side - a wild intertwine of two worlds of resonance, structure, and tonal, which is decades ahead of its time. The second side begins with the work Circling Six, an early version of Leapday Night, which would appear later in the decade on the album bearing its name. It utilizes six looping synthesizer phrases, accompanied by Werner Durand on saxophone, forming a strange and bent alternate vision of what Minimalist music might have been, before concluding with All Thumbs, a short work for two electrified mbiras. The composition was the result of a collaborative sound and video installation that Behrman created with George Lewis for the opening of La Villette, the Paris science museum, in 1986, in which the duo linked the metal tines of the mbiras to sensors, triggering a computer music system.

    TROUM - NEWS # 4 / 2017 (November 2017)
    RELEASE NEWS:
    OUT NOW:
    TROUM - Acouasme do-LP (Silken Tofu)
    Limited vinyl version of the 2015 album, now with additional bonus track. 300 copies on white vinyl.
    'Acouasm’ is a psychiatric notion for unshaped, non-verbal aural deceptions, amorph and elemental sounds and noises, such as hissing, ringing, scraping, only perceived but never actually present. The seven long tracks of pestering transrational drones on ‘Acouasme’ are like aural psychiatric symptoms, humming hallucinations leaving the stable reality. The introspective and brooding atmospheres and industrial-tinted tapestry become a feverish dream, through a deranged perception.
    orders: www.dronerecords.de/album.view.html?album=18235
    listen: https://troum.bandcamp.com/album/acouasme-2015-2

    Kayo Dot - "CHOIRS OF THE EYE" 2xLP pre-order!
    I’m beyond stoked to announce that, after 14 years, Kayo Dot’s debut album, Choirs of the Eye, is finally being made available on vinyl for the first time! Thanks to consistent pressure and demand from fans, Choirs’ original label, Tzadik, has been kind enough to grant us permission to *self-release* a special edition of this masterpiece. The only way we can make this happen, therefore, is through pre-orders. Here are the details!
    
    • A 2xLP housed in a fancy reflective silver and black gatefold jacket, with an insert featuring *all the lyrics for the first time ever* in their official form, photos, charts from the original recording session, and any other visual artifacts from the original sessions that we can dig up.
    
    • Audio remastered specifically for vinyl, from the original masters, by Scott Hull at Masterdisk, who mastered the original CD release back in 2003.
    
    • Bonus material will be provided to everyone who pre-orders, including:
    
    - An unreleased outtake from the original recording session, in other words, an as-yet-unheard Choirs of the Eye studio skeleton (which will be delivered when the LP is delivered). We’re not sure yet what form this will take - maybe a high-resolution digital version that you can use as a stem in your own music, or maybe a cassette with other weird stuff on it? That’ll be determined by how well the pre-orders do.
    
    - The full multi-camera video of Kayo Dot’s performance of Choirs of the Eye at The Stone in August 2015 (which will be delivered as soon as you pre-order! - we'll be manually emailing out download codes for these, so please give us 24 hours to get it to you)
    
    • 250 copies will be available in a special collectors’ edition 180g black and silver/white swirl colored vinyl with a bit fancier textured cover, and the remainder will be available in standard weight black vinyl without the textured cover.
