A collection album that covers the ten generations of the solitary genius Burial will be released

The 2006 debut album "Burial" and the following year's second album "Untrue" have been established, and although their identity and identity are still unknown, their overwhelmingly original sound is UK garage-dubstep. By extension, Burial left a big impact as one of the representative artists of the 0's beyond the category of club music. The genius who continued to be silent revived with the EP work "Street Halo" in 2011 when he entered a new decade, and although expectations for the release of the third album increased, he suddenly continued to release EPs and singles after that, " I continued to search for new expressions after "Untrue". This work is a collection album that covers the steps that Burial left on Hyperdub in the Ten's, and walked to the unexperienced zone with listeners, seeking dismantling of the post dubstep that he had built himself, release from the scale and development of the track. A total of 17 songs, 150 minutes, including 6 songs from the first CD version of the song, are recorded on a 2-CD set. From "Street Halo" and "Loner", which presented a deep house mode with a hasty 4/4 beat, to "Kindred", which is an 11-minute self-collage of your own world view, and more emotional without being bound by the beat. "Rival Dealer" that develops a unique story, "Truant" that has one of the best sunlight ambiences in history, "Come Down To Us" that is a popular song representing Burial in the Tens, and recent single "State Forest". The pieces of the lonely genius, including the burial ambient track, are rearranged in the order of the intentional songs, and are completed here as one big lyric poem.

Originally released by Sonnabend Gallery in NY in 1974, Charlemagne Palestine's most masterpiece and extremely rare work is a famous masterpiece. A historic masterpiece that begins with the ecstatic meditative organ drone "Two Fiftsh" that lasts about 19 minutes, and the tremolo playing method of the piano echoes endlessly and beautifully. With the remastered specifications released in 2015, the sound quality has been further improved.

J.P.A. Falzone and Morgan Evans-Weiler have been working together since 2016 in the famous ensemble "Ordinary Affects" of the Weindelweiser school.

In January 19 at the Wesleyan University Memorial Chapel at the Liberal Arts University in Middletown, Connecticut, by Luke Damrosch, who is known for engineering works around Van der Weiser and co-writing with Alan Sondheim and José James. A recorded work. Both the string drone minimalist Morgan Evans-Weiler side, which accelerates isolation in the void, the melancholy piano and violin, and the JPA Falzone side, where the pointillistic sound of the vibraphone gives off a dull beauty. A very enigmatic chamber music work that makes you feel even the taste of Japanese loneliness while suppressing the number of sounds. It's ridiculously wonderful!

Minima, who has joined the group "Permanent Music Theater" established by La Monte Young in New York at the end of the 1960s, which has a history of music as the birthplace of minimal-drone music, with John Cale and Angus MacLise, and continues to work as a filmmaker. Liszt, 1973 legendary collaboration masterpiece rare edition with Tony Conrad and Krautrock legend Faust !!!

When Tony Conrad visited Germany in 1972, he met the avant-garde rock band'Faust'created by the country, and this session was realized.
It seems that Tony Conrad had instructed the drummer to "keep the beat unchanged", but the drums with the shamanic and rock dynamism that the number of notes was cut off to the limit are exactly the same. Oriental and trancey violin drones that are directly related to the "Permanent Music Theater" intersect endlessly minimally. In each of Avant-Rock-Indian music, only the most psychedelic elements meet at the atomic level, and the extreme content seems to have been transformed from the existing music composition. Carefully mastered from the original master tape, Jim O'Rourke is in charge of the liner notes.

The most comfortable and natural sound space. Valiha's solo two-disc set by Valiha's master, Justin Valiha, who formed the Ni Malagasy Orchestra by gathering 10 masters of musical instruments and singing from each region of Madagascar. Valiha is a Madagascar instrument, like a bamboo koto. It is characterized by a deep tone with a muddy accompanying sound, which is also a characteristic of African musical instruments, and when you listen to it, you will enter a state of euphoria like when you are listening to Bali gamelan. It goes without saying that it is a transcendental technique because it is a master of Valiha, but it is enough to heal just by leaving the body to examine the beautiful strings rather than letting it be heard with tech. Although it is an instrument, according to the explanation of the song (English / French), it seems to express the blessings of the island's nature, the flora and fauna, and so on.

Meditations super strong recommendation board! The jacket artwork is a 2017 piano solo work by French pianist / composer Melaine Dalibert from elsewhere, a new label launched by Yuko Zama, who is also involved in the management of David Sylvian (!) Erstwhile Records and Gravity Wave. Imposing release! This work is inspired by the work of French media artist Vera Molnar from Hungary, and is inspired by the transition of natural phenomena. Dalibert developed an algorithmic procedure for the composition of this piece. A meditative, layered piece of resonant music by Morton Feldman's mode.

This pure sound just sinks ... Taku Unami is in charge of mastering! Limited to 500 sheets. For those who like Gigi Masin and Satsuki Shibano! It is one of the big, big, big, big, big recommended for all music lovers!

Melaine Dalibert plays 12 compositions (composed from 2005 to 2018) by Anastassis Philippakopoulos, a Greek composer from France who is also known for the Van der Weiser school. Includes a performance recorded on July 24, 2019 at the commune "Saint-Maugan" in Ille-et-Villene, northwestern France. A unique blend of minimalism, modern romanticism, and Zen introspective depth, with a tranquil piano sound and a simple yet moving melody that weaves pointillistically while being wrapped in shadows. The vast, profound, narrative and poetic view of the world is a wonderful word. Mix and mastering by Taku Unami. Artwork by Denis Sorokin, also known as Michael Pisaro's work. Recommended for those who like Edition Wandelweiser and Another Timbre works!

"Singing in Unison" is the latest in a series of recordings from acclaimed sound artist, composer and performer Yoshi Wada. Recorded live over two nights, March 14 and 15, in 1978, at New York City's legendary performance space The Kitchen, "Singing in Unison" is a dramatic yet meditative work: modal improvisations for three male voices, singing, with great gravitas, in purposeful unison. These previously unreleased recordings, featuring vocalists Richard Hayman, Imani Smith and Wada himself are extremely powerful, with a glacial majesty and a sense of timeless wonder. Wada's earliest musical memories are of hearing Zen Buddhist ritual chants in his native Japan, and those memories are reflected in the deep vocalisations here; also evident is Wada's period of intense study with Indian master singer Pandit Pran Nath. Thus there is a definite "Eastern" feeling to "Singing in Unison", with further elements added by Imani Smith's Sufi background and Wada's interest in Eastern European vocal styles, but the music is also informed by Wada's experiences in the Fluxus movement and as a member of the New York avant-garde community. The edgy atmosphere of 1970s New York City pervades these recordings, adding a hint of menace. Despite the fact that this is purely vocal music, fans of the slow-moving heaviosity of Sunn 0))) will appreciate "Singing in Unison". Yoshi Wada has four previous releases on EM Records: "Lament for the Rise and Fall of Elephantine Crocodile" [EM1074CD]; "The Appointed Cloud" [EM1076D]; "Off the Wall" [EM1078CD]; and "Earth Horns with Electronic Drone" [EM1081CD]. "Singing in Unison" is available in two formats: a single CD of the March 15 performance, with gatefold sleeve; or a triple LP set featuring a complete version of both performances, March 14 and 15.

Orange Milk / Noumenal Loom ~ A marvelous piece that greatly updates the view of ambient after the New Age Revival! Takao, a Japanese artist who was influenced by Motohiko Hamase, Toru Takemitsu, Akio Niitsu, Yann Tomita, Sean McCann, etc., released voluntarily from Bandcamp in June this year, and the work "Stealth" that involved peripheral artists and attracted attention The physical version of EM Records is now available!
This work, which took a year and a half to complete, has an unusually short time of 33 minutes with 13 songs, but in a blink of an eye, it is swallowed by the transition of a magnificent time. I am impressed by the outstanding ambient view that looks after Post-Internet-New Age Revival and the solitary soundscape that fascinates the standard of the current experimental scene with a stylish sound that is one or two steps ahead! In addition to the former influenced by Hiroshi Yoshimura, Midori Takada, Nuno Canavarro, Haruomi Hosono, etc., it is said to be a big stone thrown in to push the timeless view of ambient music to the next stage. It should be a work. And even from the point of view that Japanese writers have achieved it, this is a release that cannot be overlooked. Mastering is done by Takuto Kuratani, also known as Ruv Bytes. I am deeply drawn to the artwork that Takao himself shot in Shonan.

What is HIP HOP Global? What is local? The new work of JUU4E, a Thai rapper who repaints the hype-covered , is a light of hope for pan-Asian music in the 21st century, and is a black ship released to the world. No, if it was a black ship that appeared dignifiedly in the daytime, this work is a small smuggling ship that sews the night and crosses the sea to carry .

TRAP beats born in Atlanta in the United States have become a common language in the world and continue to produce replicas, and as in Asia, many acts appear and disappear, and rappers from countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have been attracting attention for a long time nowadays. "YouTube play XX million times!" "Instagram follower XX million people!" Such phrases flew around, and the rapper made full use of social media to aim for monetization from a single buzz. It is JUU4E that strongly expresses and continues to create original HIP HOP.

JUU4E is a rapper who has been respected as an OG in Thailand, where young talents are appearing one after another, and has established a unique standing position. In the previous work "New Luk Thung" (2019), under the production of Young-G of stillichimiya / OMK, a masterpiece that is the latest HIPHOP and the latest Luk Thung by eclectic Thai omnivorous ghetto song, Luk Thung with HIP HOP. I made it. This work shocked both inside and outside the country, such as being nominated for the prestigious RIN (Rap is Now) annual best in Thailand, but when this "New Luk Thung" was released, in fact, this work "Idiot World" was already produced. Was starting.

This work is all self-produced by JUU4E. The lyric that interweaves Thai, Japanese and English, the stretchable flow, and the track that has a lower center of gravity than the previous work and is boiled down in dubby are the same as the previous work that chewed HIP HOP / TRAP and made it completely own, but it should be noted. Is a point where you can feel the intention to strongly represent . Ron Gen, a Japanese folk song influenced by Malaysian music, and Teresa Ten's songs that JUU4E has been accustomed to since childhood are quoted, but they have been incorporated into JUU4E. Is lightly slashing the masquerading global and exoticism that world music once had, as well as the self-orientalism that is innocently rampant in the current Asian hip-hop.

If you touch this work by biting the information that floods the net with HIP HOP hot in Asia, you're lucky. I want you to be stupid by all means being overwhelmed by the lyrics that challenge the "stupid world" head-on and the sound that is bitten by overwhelming freedom.

The second album of Clan Caiman (Japanese name: Caiman), a quintet led by Emilio Alo, a musician representing Argentine New Newsick, has appeared. High-humidity indoor tribal music played with hypnotic sounds and primitive pulsations under more thorough restraint.

Clan Caiman, a five-member band formed by Argentine multi-instrumentalist writer Emilio Alo with the concept of "imagining the music played by a fictional tribe." His debut album "Clan Caimán" (2018) was widely heard by Hiramazu, VIDEOTAPEMUSIC, Tortoise, Tommy Guerrero, Martin Denny and others. In this second work, "Asoma (Rises in English)", Aro's creative musical instrument , which is a remodeled Kalimba, becomes the cornerstone of the ensemble and gives off an unknown ethnicity, but it has a high musicianship. The evolution (deepening) in the direction of can be heard in the arrangements and performances of the Argentine performers who have more restraint than the previous work. As Alo himself explains, "There are no vocals, cymbals, or fanfares," the eight songs have a metroethnicity sensation after abandoning the climax of the chord progression and the flashy arrangements that attract attention. The sound field is filled with suspicious warmth and hypnosis. The binding design that traps the high humidity air is again Sebastian Duran and Ian Kornfeld.

One of the deepest and ideal forms of "Bon Odori", which is innumerable all over Japan, is considered by Minyo Mountains x M Records. The non-bouncing drums and hammer beats of krautrock reminiscent of German rock, the whistle that is blown all at once at an overwhelming volume, and the pole of minimal dance music that repeats thoroughly! Its too stoic and sharp sound image makes me want to call it "rural industrial music" or "richie hawtin in the field" that is played without using electricity. This is the "Boundary Stone Throwing Dance" that still remains in northern Saitama Prefecture. Here, the songs and dances that retain this old form have not been turned into tourism, and have continued to this day as the activities of the Bon festival.

This time, we remastered the song contained in the record "Saitama Bon Odori" produced by the Saitama Folk Culture Center in 1983, and recorded / mixed the latest version by the preservation society as of 2017. Recorded in. Please listen to the Japanese dance classics, where the stone Buddha begins to dance. The binding is Shinsuke Takagi (Soi48) following "Yumi Kagura".

The latest work "Hear / Here", which is M's fifth work in total, was recorded in his hometown of San Francisco, where he produced the masterpiece 1st "Isophonic Bugiugi" (1980), which is his origin. He moved to New York in the early 80's. He suddenly moved to Israel in 2013, but returned to San Francisco last year. This latest composition collection "Hear / Here" was produced there.

Roland, who consistently produces works with improvisational composition, has a top-notch mix of electronics and acoustics, with a sense of Pharaoh Sanders, techno, electronic music, and classical music. The spirituality and ambientness, and the (

Performance as if John Fay and Buckwards Sam Fark possessed, all 6 songs by cyber cowboy wandering in the digital jungle + Tomoki Kanda (CRUE-L Records)'s best remix recording! 2010s present tense TOKYO music cutting edge that looked like prewar country blues 100 years ago. The splendor that I haven't lost sight of myself for many years.

Formed in 1978 and still active, Yin Hunting Rotten is a heretic presence in Japanese indie games with its overwhelming name and works. They are an "impossible" group who were in the Tokyo / Yokohama underground scene in the early 80's but were not influenced by punk-post-punk itself.
Members Naoyuki Masuda (g), Masamichi Oyama (key), and Atsushi Harada (dr) met through a surrealist research douujinshi, and based on the idea of converting to the sound of "automatic writing", improvisation was the main axis. Started activities. He released various works in 1980-84, but his name was difficult to read, his songs were like symbols, and his titles and works with pure white bindings that didn't even have a sword were all crushed, but his unique personality was unparalleled. Since then, it has been a mysterious existence and has received strong support until now.
 This "Houaku" was recorded in 1985, but after many twists and turns, it will be submitted here as a "new work" and a second album. The recorded music was recorded by improvisational performance based on the image recalled from the video by projecting a photograph taken by Masuda in Spain into the studio, and it was edited and completed later.
Using an electrified / synthesized instrument, the amorphous music that sometimes looks like Sun Ra (unintentional) is timeless, and it's hard to tell when and where it works. The unknownness is a word of "cool !!" "I learned for the first time at this time that the time difference of" several decades "in improvisation does not mean much. I think there is no such thing as" evolution of rising shoulders "in music," (Atsushi Harada, commentary. Than)
 Following this work, "Initial Works" will be released to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the band's formation! First, the unreleased original complete version, a remaster of the sound quality dramatically improved, presented in 2014 Japan Indie's hottest work !!

80s Heavy Metal Dub Phantom Edition "Ten Dubs That Loosen the World" Sheriff Lind's new album for the first time in 25 years! Its name is "Aftershock Dub"! !! Two bonus songs added to the CD!

What have you been doing for 25 years! Don't rush in. Sheriff Lind has been devoting himself to reggae with the Southern Hemisphere soundmen, but in the last 20 years, only a few songs have been released on the compilation CD. The whole picture was sealed in the hall and mysterious, but the sheriff was on the lookout all the time!

This surprising new 2nd album can be called a "special collection" (Note 2) compiled from the numerous dubs (Note 1) that Sheriff Lind has played with sound so far. This fully field-specific massive bass sound source was selected for the album by West Japan's proud sound system "Touch the Sky" crew, High-C, and an elite track maker / engineer pursuing reggae dub. Ruv Bytes, our Takuto Kuratani. In addition, M's first genuine dance hall specification that Mr. Kuratani will master! A heavyweight special album with a single dub rhythm that appeals to the stubborn roots lovers from the original generation to the digital / nu roots generation!

In the previous work "Isted Serenade", the amplification was modest and the emphasis was on the deep acoustic sound, but in this work, his new frontier is heard with the electro sound that has been synthesized (synthesized). On the surface, that's the case, but his philosophy "isophonic" is still pierced in the core, and what is expressed through Young's unique conprovisation (composition and improvisational compound word) is "isophonic. His world that continues from "Bugiugi". Therefore, the degree of discipline of the sound is different from that of the electro guys there, and the density is able to withstand deep listening. Also, the sound pressure and facial expression of the sound was a problem until the end of completion, and his realism still living in Brooklyn is reflected in the tension of this aggressive and tingling sound.

The current three artists will challenge the difficult song "Gun Ho 1,2,3D", which is a masterpiece of New Zealand's legendary performance group From Scratch. This is a cover performance collection in which each person explores how to play with percussion as the common denominator (* not a remix collection). Everyone made it very hard. I look forward to working with you!

From Scratch is a development of a performance group organized by Phil Dudson, who learned from the far-left musician Cornelius Cardew, as the New Zealand branch of the Scratch Orchestra in the 1970s. They are known around the world for their combative custom instruments, and Ryuichi Sakamoto became a percussion instrument unit at a glance, and he visited Japan twice.

The work that can be said to be their true value is this difficult song "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", which features hocking in which the performers beat different beats individually, and the ultimate polyrhythm with accurate repetitive rhythm is a masterpiece. The sound is mechanical and inorganic in terms of characters, but the overtone-covered mundane sounds generated from the vinyl chloride tube and the slight error caused by human performance become organic components and create a mysterious ecstasy.

In this work, the original recording of 1981, which was performed in the most complicated 8,9,10 and 9,10,11 time signatures of "Gung Ho 1,2,3D", is the first, and the current three artists in Japan and abroad: Goat (M2) led by YPY Koshiro Hino / Don't DJ (M3), a German genius / Utena Kobayashi (M4), who is currently active in DAN, Tokumaru Shugo, etc. Contains a total of 4 works. All the performances are based on the score, but the interpretations of the four are completely different, and despite the fairly advanced performance, it has a pop appearance due to the repetitive rhythm.
