Keith Berry – Elixir
CDThe alchemist Jim Haynes said of his work: “like falling snow, his dreamy work drifts with a poetic chill and tranquil hypnosis through which peripheral elements tease the listener with subtle details. it’s so damn beautiful…” A bit of background on this release: one of the great inspirations for invisible birds was Bernhard Günter and his seminal label trente oiseaux. the releases had an enormous influence and one of the gems was Keith Berry’s The Golden Boat. It was with much pleasure when Mr. Berry wrote asking invisible birds to release his newest work Elixir, and after listening to the wonderful kosmic washes of sound, there was no question than to proceed. The CD features abstract drawings by Matthew Swiezynski, and graphics by the Brooklyn-based design kollektive Mount Analogue (Chi Yun and Matthew Swiezynski).£10.00 -
Asphodel – Aokigahara…
Sale, VinylLP with tipped-in cover photo, printed at Stoughton Printing Co., red/black vinyl manufactured at RTI. Includes download code... Aokigahara, The Black Sea of Trees is an abstract visual and sonic story-telling which takes place in a forest located in Mount Fuji, Japan. The forest of Aokigahara, has a world-wide fame for the thousands of suicides which took place there and now has an almost mythological statue. The forest is spread all through with ephemera and items such as photographs, letters and instruments left behind by the leavers, all untouched due to respect. almost entire forest is covered with long ribbons people used to be able to return if they changed their mind. therefore, the entire land is embodied with the vicarious objects that depict the sense of memory, loss and hope.£15.00 -

Community Of Light – Night Vision
CD, SaleCommunity of light is a collective of artists & musicians working in the post kraut cosmic drone continuum which was initiated by mr. robert fludd and has come to full fruition in the twenty-first century in various forms. specifically; as pursuers of the Light, which is often called Darkness, and a sound we call silence (with a method called night vision). One critic of note has said of the community : community of light reconceives a music that has for a long time been gathered from the invisible and most ancient of all communities, which has been in existence since the creation of the cosmos, and will be with us through the end of time. their music is highly influenced by krautrock, psychedelic, ambient, british folk, electronic and experimental and avant-garde music.£7.00 -

Ingenting Kollektiva – Fragments Of Night
Sale, VinylGorgeous gatefold 4 panel with heavyweight wax… Ingenting Kollektiva is comprised of Diane Granahan, Kirston Lightowler, Tarrl Lightowler, and Matthew Swiezynski, and is a homage to the films of Ingmar Bergman and Sven Nykvist. The Kollektiva recordings are meditations on the quality of light, sound, and atmosphere, as well as realizations of the various forms of ‘nothingness’ captured by these two masters. Christmas of 2009, the Kollektiva found themselves surrounded with many recordings from the year 1969, including: Miles Davis & Teo Macero’s In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew, John Surman’s Way Back When and How Many Clouds Can You See?, and Extrapolation (with John McLauglin), Bert Jansch’s Birthday Blues, Vashti Bunyan’s Just Another Diamond Day (recorded December 1969), Fairport Convention’s Unhalfbricking, Jan Garbarek & Terje Rypdal’s Esoteric Circle, King Crimson’s In The Court Of The Crimson King, Scott Walker’s Scott Walker 4, Holger Czukay’s Canaxis, plus many more. With this in mind, they recorded some songs in the Lightowlers’ barn during a rainstorm, and later added recordings from Northern California and Los Angeles. The editing process then became something similar to Macero’s work for Miles Davis. The recording has been issued as a long-play record with a gatefold sleeve and photographs by Tarrl Lightowler. Thanks so much to Taylor Deupree for bringing many layers & hidden sounds to life in these recordings.£10.00
