Bestia Centauri is a solo electronic music project, begun in 1999. The aim of Bestia Centauri is to create sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and the extra-human. Its sounds have much in common with those of electroacoustic music, but the compositional structures generally display a much greater sense of flow. Unlike the Dark Ambient works to which it is sometimes compared, the music of Bestia Centauri is dynamic and often disorienting, like the strange angles of the architecture of R'lyeh. Limited to 150 copies in a professionally printed sleeve.

Second in the 'Neither Speak Nor Remain Silent' series of three CD EP's by this project founded by Irish singer Clodagh Simonds. Ethereal vocals with a haunting quality over some very beautiful string laden electronica. Players on Huge: Clodagh Simonds, Colin Potter, Roger Doyle, Cora Venus Lunny, Brian Eno, Laura Sheeran, Percy Jones, Carter Burwell, Lydia Sasse, Hugh O'Neill, Sarah McQuaid and Andrew McKenzie (The Hafler Trio). The CD comes in a full colour embossed cover. Edition of 2000 copies. Again, absolutely essential!

"In Opposition To Our Acceleration" begins innocuously enough with tinkled chords from a pianist fractured into quaint glitches. Such aural pleasantries have been deliberately staged as a counterpoint to something far more sinister. Sure enough, a disturbed ambience settles upon the rest of the album as the playful piano tones are replaced by razor sharp piercings coupled with psychoactively eerie drones and scribbles from a microphone across a metal plate. Illusion of Safety actualize their name through a theatrical exploration of "the language of error." Sumptuously packaged in an outsized gatefold pack with several artcards. Ltd x 1000.

This is re-release of the very first Illusion Of Safety LP from 1988 onto CD, including an unreleased 11 minute live bonus track from early 90's. The 11 tracks here display a much rawer and more 'industrial' feel, with the use of harsh found sounds and voices, compared to more recent works. The cover features new artwork by Dan Burke and the CD comes in a professionally-printed gatefold card in a plastic sleeve. Ltd x 700 copies.

Asmus Tietchens sent processed recordings of himself reading excerpts from two texts by E. M. Cioran. Duncan worked on and manipulated them, creating three pieces. There is little of Tietchens remaining in these abstract creations. Speed-altered voice tracks are stacked, swirling electronic sounds in the background providing proof of deeper processing. "Freih zein hoem macht..." ranks among Duncan's harshest pieces to date, while "Aber..." is more "typical" Duncan: a drone derived from the sound source but from which the sound source has been obliterated, and yet makes its ghostly presence palpable. Presented in a nice digipak with tasteful spot varnish and insert. Ltd x 1000.

The box includes 4 discs of live recordings by KdJ: "0" (Bremen, Lagerhaus 1999), "1" (Rostock, MS Stubnitz 2001), "-1" (Bremen, Lagerhaus 2001), "n" (Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum 2002). Plus a mounted and exclusive 3" CD entitled "Frühruin", presenting the first studio works by KdJ. Slow, moving atmospheric compositions, crackles, drones, vast, dark spaces and erratic noises. Limited edition of 500 copies in a stunning boxset. Very nice, collectable set! Hurry for this one!

Re-release of the LP version of "Still Valley", including one extra track. One of Mirror's finest works recorded by Andrew Chalk (Ora, Ferial Confine), Christoph Heemann (HNAS) and Jim O'Rourke (Sonic Youth, Gastr Del Sol, Illusion Of Safety) between May 2002 - January 2005. This album is a beautiful study of slowly shifting drones, like a film shot in slow motion. One noticeable difference between this and other quiet Mirror affairs is the presence of oscillating pulses. These analog tones occasionaly accentuate the constant guitar drones, adding a shimmery quality, rather than becoming a competing element. Edition of 1000 copies in dye-cut cover.

Long announced drone release by Colin Potter (Ora, Nurse With Wound) & Darren Tate (Ora). This double album consists of two different works recorded between 2002-2003 at IC studio. Disc one features 3 tracks that are loosely based on processed field recordings in the 'classic' Monos style, exploring internal spaces. Disc two has one long track of arganic & electronic tones which combine to give a dense cloud of flowing sound. Full colour digisleeve. Artwork by Darren Tate & Helen Potter. Design by Jonathan Coleclough. First edition of 600 copies in a double gatefold pack.

Monos is Darren Tate (ORA) and Colin Potter (who besides also being a member of ORA collaborated with Steven Stapleton on several Nurse With Wound albums). Five tracks based on field recordings by Darren Tate which were then electronically processed in the studio by Colin Potter. Dark and sometimes dense soundscapes, all displaying a strange spelling beauty. Both artists regard this as their finest work so far. Limited edition of 700 copies in a nice, full colour digipak.

As an original member of the legendary Cabaret Voltaire, Richard H Kirk has been producing innovative electronic music for more than 25 years. Under the guise of Orchestra Terrestrial, and inspired by such classical artists as Wagner, Debussey and Mozart, Kirk creates dense soundtrack like atmospheres which range from orchestral sections to more rhythmic tracks, which are all typical Kirk. This 62 min. long CD comes in a 6 panel digisleeve with special printing including 6 color postcards. Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies.

A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10" vinyl 'Maus' and 'Die Hennen Zähne'. 'Die Hennen Zähne' opens with 'Die Kralle', actually a David Jackman track from his archive, recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track 'Die Hennen Zähne', a joyful noise not unlike some of the The New Blockaders / Organum material including the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns. 'Maus' is the centre piece of this mini album and typical 'old school' Organum. The album closes with the more quiet and haunting 'Kazi', a live improvisation featuring collaborator's Michael Prime and Emma O'Bong. Nice lttle 3" digipack. Ltd x 600 copies.

Re-release of 'Vacant Lights' (cassette 87 / LP 88), in combination with a second CD comprising five unreleased or hard to find tracks entitled 'Rara Avis'. David Jackman was supported on these recordings by some of the main collaborator's during this Organum phase: Dinah Jane Row, Jim O'Rourke, Eddie Prevost (AMM), Christoph Heemann (HNAS), Robert Hampson (Main) as players and Steven Stapleton (NWW) and Peter McGhee in the studio. Most of the recordings on these two CD's show the more contemplative side of the Organum sound, the main characteristic being Jackman's playing of various types of bamboo flutes some of which were actually made by Jackman. Ltd x 600 copies in 4 panel digisleeve.

Following "Tinnitus Vu" (Touch, 2004), "Tocsin" is the first full length album by these two renowned sound artists. Whereas Z'EV simply reworked already existing work by Jackman for "Tinnitus Vu", this time the artists agreed to both meet in the studio for "Tocsin". They created and recorded sounds from a piano and a stainless steel piece built by Z'EV circa 1989, over the course of several hours, took the recordings home, and after a period of each one mixing these sounds by themselves came up with what can be heard on this CD. Two distinctively different works by both artists which form a multilayered and fascinating album. Design by Jonathan Coleclough. Edition of 600 copies in full colour 4 panel digisleeve.

This fifth edition of UK mag Rock-A-Rolla features interviews with Mike Patton, John Wiese (Bastard Noise), Red Sparowes, The Ocean Fracture, Ramesses, Kayo Dot, Jamie Saft, David Scott Stone, Efterklang and Mono. All this, plus nice articles on the Amphetamine Reptile label, Minutemen and the usual array of album/live reviews. Always highly recommended!

First new release by the legendary The Anti Group / T.A.G.C. in a decade. The single, long track on this CD is a wonderful example of their ability to create 'mind-altering' music. Rumour has it that the line up for this release included: Adi Newton (Clock DVA), Andrew Mckenzie (The Hafler Trio) and original members M. Hogg and R. Baker. The CD comes in an silver embossed digisleeve and includes a 16 pages booklet with extensive texts. Limited edition of 600 copies.

Second part of the trilogy (Part One 'Cleave' and Part Two 'No More Twain, Of One Flesh' released on Nextera). One of the most drone based works by The Hafler Trio so far. This is a different version of 'Cleave' adding a darker aspect to the first part. Housed in super deluxe, luxury packaging! Embossed gatefold out-sized paper wallet with special transparent wraparound and gold prints. Ltd x 1500.

Another excellent work from the archives of American composer William Basinski, who is also responsible for one of the most beautiful and moving series in the field of experimental music. "Variations: A Movement In Chrome Primitive" was created in 1981 using piano tape loops, which were played randomly against themselves creating feedback loops. By 'cloning' small cells of melody and then 'breeding' them randomly, new sounds were formed. These new sounds move in and out of the original cells, creating complex crystalline structures, moving in and out of one another in surprising variations. This 2CD is a joint release with David Tibet's (Current 93) own Durtro label and comes in a 4 panel digisleeve.

This double 7" set contains four exclusive tracks for this project. Z'EV provides another intense mix of material which partly originates from a live recording from the 'Atonal Festival' in Berlin back in 1983. Side B features John Duncan with a strange static sound/noise piece, whereas both Aidan Baker on Side C and Fear Falls Burning (Vidna Obmana) on Side D give fine examples of their slowly building dronescapes. Ltd x 600 handnumbered copies on thick vinyl in a very smart textured fold out sleeve.

Four exclusive tracks, released in conjunction with a live performance at the 'Lagerhaus' Bremen, April 2004. Record On
