Damian Valles – Nonparallel (In 4 Movements)
CD, SaleNonparallel (In Four Movements), is composed and arranged entirely from samples from the recordings of avant-garde Western classical composers and computer music released by the Nonesuch label in the 60s and 70s. In working with the material, Valles wanted to enter into its very lineage, to forge a dialogue with it, to both extrapolate something essential from it and contribute to its legacy by using it to create an original work some three decades later. Divided into four movements, it is a nuanced album of subtle complexities that took roughly three years to complete.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Marielle V Jakobsons – Glass Canyon
CD, SaleIt’s been a little while since we’ve last heard from Oakland-based sound artist Marielle Jakobsons in a solo capacity, but that’s certainly not to say she hasn’t been busy. Last year saw full-length outings by her two duo projects, Date Palms and Myrmyr, and already in 2012 works with Bay Area drone ensemble Portraits and trio recordings with Helena Espvall and Agnes Szelag have been released. Her last major solo outing (under the nom-de-plume Darwinsbitch) came in form of the dark, complex Ore, released by Digitalis in 2009. With Glass Canyon, Jakobsons presents her first major work under her own name, a decision which perhaps offers a bit of insight into her compositional intentions on the album itself. Jakobsons sought to strip down her creative process to primarily just synthesizer and violin as a way of focusing, as she puts it, “on where two timbres meet.”Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

R. Adams – W(REST)LE
Sale, TapeLimited to 50 copies. Type ii high-bias cassettes with red tinted shells + silver imprint Color insert… Adams’ musique concrète offering ‘W(REST)LE’ merges various traditional religious recordings and tones to create a sonic tapestry celebrating devotion and meditative states. Adams’ first solo release is contemplative one. ‘W(REST)LE’ is an excursion into orthodox religious music and it’s stigmas. Church bells, choirs, and traditional instrumentation are woven together and collide to create new relationships between opposing styles and techniques. While this is his first outing as a solo artist, he is no stranger to meditative practices or the music that parallels it.Original price was: £7.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Making dance music since 2004 as a DJ and artist under the name of “SOMA”, he represents a new generation of up and coming beatmakers in Japan right now and is widely regarded as one of the leading lights of the new electronica scene there at present.

His long-awaited 2nd full album “Prays” was released on May 5, 2012 on PROGRESSIVE FOrM.

Studiocanoe – Soothe
CD, SaleStudiocanoe is Temujin Doran, an audio-visual artist based in London. He likes to play piano, guitar and old toy instruments, and record interesting sounds whilst he is travelling. He is the brother of a genius. ‘Soothe’ was one of the first records we received which helped to found the ethos of NKR – namely, to release beautiful, soulful music no matter what the genre. Whilst I have to be careful about saying such things, ‘Soothe’ is my wife’s favourite record across the labels to date and is actually the most listened on my old iPod. So there you go. This is the first in a series of audio-visual collaborations with Tem over the coming years. Thank you - Ian HawgoodOriginal price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

offthesky vs Kinder Scout – The Curio Collection
CD, SaleKinder Scout are the trio of Jason Corder, Ian Hawgood and Danny Norbury. Their first release was a Japan only release on the awesome Preco label in 2011. ‘The Writing Life’ was actually their first album as a trio together, but in fact their second work. Using live takes from Ian and Danny, Jason composed their first fully fledged collaborative effort to critical acclaim, with nobody quite sure whether to define it as post-classical, jazz, ambient or a pop variant of all of the above. Their first work together was before the trio fully formed which stemmed from initial collaborative pieces between Jason and Ian, Ian and Danny. ‘The Curio Collection’ is actually their first album in a way then, but their second release now. Due out on Home Normal in 2012, the release is actually offthesky (Jason) vs Kinder Scout as Ian and Danny appear predominantly across the entire album which Jason made from 2009 – 2011. Both albums have been mastered by their dear friend Miles Whittaker.Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Padang Food Tigers – Ready Country Nimbus
Sale, VinylWarm… Embracing… Nostalgic… Emotive. A few words to describe the indefinable, thrown into the wind to pin the immersive atmospheres located within the wax of Padang Food Tigers’ (ex-drone folk heroes, Rameses III) new album, Ready Country Nimbus. Comparable to feathers floating in the breeze, this London-based duo (Stephen Lewis and Spencer Grady) make their gentle passage via sublime vignettes to set up residence in pastures new. Theirs is the sound of dirt and cobwebs being swept from the corners of childhood memories. The world weeps tears of knowledge, comfort, concentration, enlightenment, while handing flowers to a parade of beautiful women. Ready Country Nimbus is an emotional sepia-tinged blend of tones, gospel, and spirit. It’s more than music, it’s a swelling presence. It’s inflated poetry, bent and focused through the necks of guitars, banjos and nature. It’s kind of holy.Original price was: £15.00.£10.00Current price is: £10.00. -

Mere – S/T
CD, SaleMere is a new project that began as a soundtrack and continues as an experimental, dark-ambient jazz group. Guitar, drums and bass clarinet provide an intense and improvised journey into the abyss. The trio first came together to work on a soundtrack for a Dutch TV documentary called ‘Visserman’. Having known each other for some time this was the first time they had combined together to write music and the name Mere comes from the Dutch word for ‘more’. Each member adds a different influence to the sound, the modal finger picked guitar playing of Thomas adds a sense of movement while Gareth takes both folk and free jazz ideas to play against Leo’s free rock influenced drum work. The tracks were recorded all in single takes with just a quick discussion of outline and tuning as a basic guide. Gareth Davis records on Important, Miasmah, Sonic Pieces, Dekorder, Home Normal etc. Collaborating with Machinefabriek, Steven R. Smith, Scanner, Frances-Marie Uitti, Ryan Teague, Elliott Sharp, Ian Hawgood and the like. Leo Fabriek releases on Digitalis, Home Normal etc. and is also the drummer with the noise rock band Julie Mittens.Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

The 3 tracks result in combinations between outsider improvised trips and swirling head drones created via a wide array of instruments and non-instruments. Carter takes hold of the guitar, ebow and lap steel with Horton’s every growing army of sound making objects described here as boot loops, boot, vortex, cassette player, minidisks, vibrator, computer, sine waves, voice, sex machine, organ, construction and beats to name some. Carter and Horton create a wild sound that is almost deconstructed and rebuilt through the 3 tracks, it sounds great and like no one else…Original price was: £10.00.£3.00Current price is: £3.00. -

Sometimes we can sense them, so close to us. We can understand them the way we understand old pictures of people whom we never met. People whom we only know from the stories. Those seemingly cold and remote worlds and events, covered with the fog which steels the colour… Those worlds create the chain of extraordinary cycles. They lead to nowhere besides themselves. Pulsating and imaginary places. Discover them. Stalk them, immerse in the “Places”…Original price was: £10.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

Includes download coupon of 7-track album in your choice of MP3 320, FLAC, etc… Live performances recorded in The Hague, Brussels, Maastricht, Deventer, Utrecht, Leiden and Drachten, March 2012. In March 2012, we had a tour of the Netherlands and Belgium together with Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra. Seven gigs in total, which were all improvised. It was the first time we played together, and we didn’t rehearse. It might not have been brilliant all the time, but there was definitely some kind of magic going on sometimes. Not knowing what the other would do, these concerts were as exciting for us as (hopefully) for the audience. Trying to do something different each time, things got weirder and weirder with each performance, up to a point where it became really hard to keep a straight face while performing. It was simply a whole lot of fun, and an experience that seems worth sharing. It made the most sense to share it in the purest way, with all concerts in unedited form, from the first one to the last.Original price was: £8.00.£4.00Current price is: £4.00. -

Joe Evans – Ecliptic Plane (CD / DVD)
CD, DVD, SaleThis release is available in limited edition 100 x CDr & Data-DVD using high quality Aquaguard (matt) or Watershield (gloss) discs (depending on availability). The covers are made from recycled card. The video is released as a data file to ensure the highest possible quality is available… The Music: I think it’s safe to say that space, and more specifically, the sun and planets, have been the inspiration behind a large number of musical projects over the years. While this work deals with some of this familiar subject, it does so with the emphasis on time and particularly by how it is marked by movement within the solar system. The piece “Ecliptic Plane” was initially conceived as a gallery exhibit exploring the synchronicity of the planets and their moons. Once it was finished, it became clear that any release would need to be expanded to include a more complete picture of the solar system. Each track then came about through a combination of examining the properties of the subjects and a series of mathematical music experiments conducted in parallel. The tracks “Ecliptic Plane” and “Resonant TNOs” extensively use the data from the planets, their moons and other objects to create their rhythms and harmonies. In the case of “Resonant TNOs” the musical scale was derived directly from the frequency ratios of the orbits of the titular objects themselves. Whilst “Approaching/Receding Sun” and “Oort Cloud” are essentially impressionistic in nature, they are the results of mathematical experiments that have links with their subjects through mood and metaphor.Original price was: £12.00.£6.00Current price is: £6.00. -

He had the opprotunity to record piano music in a very lovely church, near to his hometown. During the sessions the artist embedded himself with the poetry of Mary Jo Salter. Her work inspired him to approach these new piano pieces as poems of their own. Jedadiah started by following the rules of haikus, and eventually eased into a very lucid process, being very intimate with the how the piano worked in the large space around him.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Janek Schaefer bellies a haven, a cocoon for the listener to hide in, to grasp some semblance of life that remains and hold on to it dearly. Bells chime ominously to help dispel the haunting and are yet another stark reminder of the impending doom. What hath wrought them? What can be done against them? on this day, Charlemagne Palestine and Janek Schaefer have faced the darkness surrounding us, traversed through the fog, waded into the murky waters, and encountered demons that have surfaced from the dark recesses of the earth. herein lies the hope that was gained through facing the horror that was left unchained.Original price was: £15.00.£8.00Current price is: £8.00. -

The Rustle of the Stars
CD, SaleHoused in a 6 panel digipack with silver text and graphics… 450 km from the arctic circle, ‘The Rustle of the Stars’ is a phenomenon of austere beauty, a barely audible noise that occurs when the draught from human breath causes multiple collisions among the ice micro-crystals in the air. Some words about this record from Richard & Frederic: We met on tour when performing in Europe with our respective bands Glissando and FareWell Poetry. We had beautiful times, drinking and talking our common grounds whilst some simple ideas formed in our minds: to compose an album together. To imagine a musical passage through the North Pole explorer diaries. To ask some people and some friends to participate. To record the project in a church. To act quickly. We began to work at our homes in November 2010, In Paris (FR) and in Leeds (UK), with electric guitars, a bunch of pedals, piano, dulcimer, organ, crystal glasses, bows and field recordings, sending and adding ideas together to the tracks, trying to find a global organic sound. We met in Leeds two months later at the beginning of 2011 to record in the St Margaret of Antioch Church, using a ‘wall of sound’ process in some of the tracks and arranging / recording the string parts you will hear in the music. We would like to think of this album as a polar journey to the ends of the earth through the arctic sea. We kept in mind the first polar expeditions, Edgar Allan Poe’s Dream-Land, the ships trapped or crushed by ice, the point of no-return, the minds sinking, the attempt on the Pole ending in disaster, the quest of the Northwest Passage, Erebus & Terror, the Mercy Bay, Mangazeya, Charles Francis Hall, Beechey Island, the Midnight sun and the Polar night.Original price was: £10.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Quicksails – Silver Balloons In Clusters
Sale, VinylUnder The Spire has struck gold again with this, a vinyl reissue of Quicksails’ Silver Balloons In Clusters, which was originally released on cassette by Deception Island in early 2011. Ben Billington drops the sticks for the most part here and wires up the synths instead. Quicksails is a radically different sound for the man best known for his drum work in Tiger Hatchery and some almighty solo percussion sessions. Anyone who knows him from White Prism will have a better idea of what to expect. But that’s not to say the album is totally without a beat. ‘Must Never Catch It’ shakes past breezily on a tribal clatter and ‘A Million Knots’ unravels out of regal Kosmiche layers to start throbbing subtly at your temples, the loops loosening on their spools as gorgeous washes of pure space flow around them. Having said that, there are less percussive elements at play here than on past Quicksails releases. Instead Silver Balloons In Clusters allows samples and effects to carry it forward. ‘Deep Creak’, for example, is the aching sound of ghost ships approaching through thick fog. The ancient groans and crashing waves are pitted against alarm sounds, blaring out as if preparing shore-dwellers for imminent doom.Original price was: £12.00.£7.00Current price is: £7.00. -

Mortuus Auris And The Black Hand
CD, SaleMortuus Auris and his Black Hand is actually a chap called Peter Taylor and this is this alter ego. Not like in a mad schizophrenic way but more in a kind of way that you just have a different name to do things. Eg Hulk Hogan wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular if he he used his reall name of Terry Gene Bollea, so if you’re in the biz I guess you gotta do these things. Limited to 50 copies job and it’s rather lovely. Throbbing, pulsating, spacey sounding drone music with layers of ambience all put together rather well I think. At times it can sound quite celestial and there’s the odd sound in there that reminds me of Philip Glass, but then there’s the odd sound in there which is like the Eraserhead soundtrack ‘n all. It drifts from the beautiful to the ugly (sometimes in the same song) and if you stick with it to the end you’ll discover there are many riches to be had here. I’m particularly fond of all of the spacey sounding noises!Original price was: £10.00.£5.00Current price is: £5.00. -

Doron Sadja – Residuals
CD, SaleLimited edition CD with deluxe oversized sleeve and accompanying prints by the artist… “Residuals” is a four movement, hyper-emotive, ultra-synthetic landscape. Doron’s first solo electronics release since 2003′s “a piece of string, a sunset” on 12k – and it’s in that same realm that his endlessly imaginative sound design shines brightest. Slowly lifting off from near silence into an ethereal vacuum of swirling cacophonies and multi-tonal noise, “Residuals” never lets go. Romantic synthesizer harmonies, extreme frequencies, spectral chord blasts, and ultra-high synthesized feedback combine to form structures so innately organic that it’s easy to forget that a human (or a computer, for that matter) had anything to do with it.Original price was: £12.00.£8.00Current price is: £8.00. -

Steinbrüchel + Cory Allen – Seam
CD, SaleFourteen months and countless folders of audio files later, Steinbrüchel and Cory Allen offer their first collaborative album entitled «Seam». An intensive and process driven work period resulted in an album that integrates the two artist’s individual soundworlds. Each sound was processed and multiplied by both artists, forming a sound archive of individual threads. The compositions were then sewn and stitched together using the collection of the archive. Connecting each composition is an inbetween thread which weaves the album’s tracks together. The «- — – –» audio process was extended into the design and production of the physical packaging. The cover design is based on a system which reflects the track order and the artists’ contributions to the creation of the compositions. Each of the 400 limited edition CD packagings were offset printed and machine stitched in Switzerland. Cover concept and design by ORDNER.

For their sophomore release, the pair have opened up their tonal palette considerably. While the comparisons that critics made of their first album to the work of Tim Hecker and Stars of the Lid still hold true, Already Gone finds Croy and Devane mining even richer sonic climes. Here, the duo pull back the curtain on some of their source material, a move that allows the diversity of their instrumentation to resonate. On The Sea Saw Swell, Croy’s acoustic koto pings across the stereo spectrum as a looping guitar figure from Devane apparates from the haze of a beautiful, slowly shifting drone. The side-long closer Elysia is likely the duo’s defining recording to date, an epic slow-burner that reaches heights both angelic and cacophonous. Ultimately, it is the harmonious marriage of the organic and the obscured that recurs throughout the album that proves its defining trait, and it is precisely what makes En stand out in the ever-growing field of contemporary drone/ambient musics.Original price was: £15.00.£8.00Current price is: £8.00. -
