CLARK	Steep Stims	2LP	THROTTLE	THROT 014LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 Double LP version. Following the skewed-unself-help-brilliance of Sus Dog (which marked his first full foray into songs, abetted by Thom Yorke), and its companion piece Cave Dog, Chris Clark returns to the dancefloor's simple, but no less affecting pleasures, with Steep Stims. Steep Stims marks a back-to-basics approach, invoking the early years of gung-ho creativity enforced by limitations in technology at the time. Made quickly, Steep Stims reflects the immediate rave energy of his live show, but that's not to say it's basic floor fodder, as it's rife with personality, synth magic, and knack for melody. Although swift and impressionistically captured rather than labored over, it's still formidably deft, with plenty of oddball weirdness lurking beneath the dancefloor. Soft, orange, scorched, brutal, the opening track "Gift and Wound" captures the classic dance music dread/awe/euphoria combo perfectly, before "Infinite Roller" merges sparkly-minimalism with snarling bass and soft sines, which turn more-dense and metallic as it progresses. The melancholic smoke belch of "No Pills U" gives strong classic vibrations, which is belied by its creation, made in just 20 minutes. Drumless, yet still full of exhilarating-big-trance-drama, "Who Booed The Goose" flashes by in stroboscopic fast forward, then "5 Millionth Cave Painting" gives a palate cleanser, letting "the virus with its delicious broken, luxurious reverb have a moment," before "Negation Loop" swoops down in all its glory, with Clark's tweaked vocals leading deconstructed trance breakdowns, tape edits and brutal noisebursts. An antidote to the bombast of its predecessor is "Micro Lyf," which closes the set on a poignant note, of sorts. Muted staccato gives way to field recordings "that gradually put it in this outside space; alien in a meadow somewhere nameless. It feels like a sinkhole. The record kinda swallows itself up and then is gone", ends Chris.

BARTOS, KARL	Communication	CD	BUREAU B	BB 484CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/21/2025 A timeless statement on media, culture, and music. Karl Bartos, renowned as an essential member and songwriter of Kraftwerk during their most innovative years, is reissuing his solo album Communication on Hamburg's Bureau B. First released in 2003, 13 years after leaving the legendary electronic group, the re-release arrives at a moment when its central theme, the transformation of culture through electronic media, feels more relevant than ever. When Bartos departed Kraftwerk in 1990, he left behind a catalogue that had redefined electronic music: "The Model," "The Robots," "Numbers," "Pocket Calculator," and many more bear his imprint as co-writer and melody-maker. 2021 Kraftwerk's classic line-up was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for their innovative work -- the first German band ever to be honored. With the sharp-witted electro-pop of Communication, the Kraftwerk legend extended that legacy, turning his focus toward a rapidly evolving media landscape at the turn of the millennium. At the time, the album's exploration of celebrity culture, digital imagery, and the early internet felt like a glimpse into the future. Today, it reads as sharp cultural analysis of a reality that has since become ordinary. Two decades later, this reissue allows Communication to be reconsidered on its own terms. The questions Bartos posed, about image saturation, reality fragmentation, and identity commodification, resonate more strongly in the age of smartphones, social media, and streaming platforms than they did in the early 2000s. Karl Bartos: "We are living in an age of huge behavioral manipulation. Cybernetics, artificial intelligence -- this is a major challenge for humanity." Bartos's role in shaping Kraftwerk's defining sound is undisputed, yet Communication also asserts his independent artistic voice: one that critiques media while celebrating the joy of electronic sound. Its rerelease is less a nostalgic act than a reminder that Bartos's work continues to speak directly to the cultural present. With this reissue on Bureau B, Communication endures as both a document of its time and a timeless statement on media, culture, and music.

BARTOS, KARL	Communication	LP	BUREAU B	BB 484LP

DRIES TACK	In Memoriam Alvin Lucier	LP	SUB ROSA	SR 569LP
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/14/2025 This album is not just an homage -- it's a gentle act of remembrance. A way of tuning in to what Alvin Lucier showed the world: that listening is an art in itself. A meditation on resonance, memory, and the quiet power of pure sound. The influence of Alvin Lucier's work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier's music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity -- shifting perception from what people hear to how they listen. At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this master of minimalism with an album centered around two works Lucier composed as intimate "In Memoriams" for friends. Both pieces explore a single, elegant idea: the interaction between an instrumental tone and a sine wave. Out of that interaction, "beatings" emerge -- a pulsating rhythm that accelerates or decelerates as the waves draw nearer or drift apart. Though built on the same concept, the two works are like mirrored reflections of one another: "In Memoriam Jon Higgins," the sine wave glides in a slow glissando while the clarinet holds steady tones. "In Memoriam Stuart Marshall," it's the clarinet that dances around a fixed sine wave. Dries Tack is a clarinetist specializing in contemporary performance practices. He performs with ensembles such as Nadar Ensemble, Curious Chamber Players, and Ensemble Fractales. As co-artistic director of the GLoW Collective, he explores collaborative practices across artistic disciplines in the broadest sense. In addition to his ensemble work, Dries curates solo projects that offer fresh perspectives on existing repertoire or give rise to entirely new works at the intersection of composition and improvisation.

GORDON/DAVID CUNNINGHAM, PETER	The Yellow Box	LP	WEEK-END RECORDS	WE 016LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 As trans-Atlantic alchemists pulling from a shared dialectic that somehow encompassed both postmodern deconstructionist tendencies and a delightfully subversive sense of poptimism, it's easy to see how David Cunningham and Peter Gordon immediately hit it off upon initially meeting each other back in the late-1970s at the height of their youthful transgressions. Having initially worked together on the second Flying Lizards' LP, with its ingenious fusion of dismantled rhythms and rearranged melodies juxtaposed against the slyly sultry singing of Snatch's Patti Palladin -- with Gordon adding a few sprinkles of mischievous sax in the mix -- it's no wonder the collaboration would lead to further musical adventures. Which leads directly to the genesis of The Yellow Box. Embarking on a collaborative exercise in the structural repurposing of music as untethered puzzle pieces in need of rearrangement with no predetermined outcomes, the duo gave birth to a project that would see them move through both time and recording studios across Europe, taking nearly two years from 1981-1983 to complete. Enlisting the great Anton Fier on drums from The Feelies/Lounge Lizards nexus and John Greaves on bass from Henry Cow/Soft Heap lore to round out their duelling creative counterparts, the album would be something of a lost treasure until its eventual release on Cunningham's Piano imprint in 1996. Cinematic in scope, and filled with drifting drones, beautiful counter-melodies, eery minimalism, Kraftwerkian synthesizers, looped voices, skronky interludes, and other shifting undercurrents of sound, it was an album that utilized both a diverse array of expressive languages, as well as early sampling techniques and prepared instruments, well before most people were thinking in such expansive, integrated terms at the dawn of the '80s. Like a sparser, less groove-oriented version of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, or a more radical take on the experimental work of Can's Holger Czukay, The Yellow Box stands at the crossroads of time and technology, fusing multiple strands of musical thought and compositional techniques into a disjointed whole that somehow still comes off as a conceptually complete record. Now, here it is again, over 40 years later, with perhaps even more historical resonance than it had before, remade and remodeled just waiting to be rediscovered again.

JOASIHNO	Spots	LP	ALIEN TRANSISTOR	N 103LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 11/7/2025 Moving freely through time and space via experimental DIY recordings since 2009, Joasihno return with their fourth album Spots. Southern German experimental pop duo Joasihno -- initial solo founder Cico Beck (The Notwist, Aloa Input, Spirit Fest) and drummer/composer Nico Sierig (Instrument, Fehler Kuti) -- seem to know exactly when it's time to shine. Idiosyncratic genre tweakers since day one, they have been operating at their own pace, mostly staying in their own shady corner. Yet, almost a decade after their most recent Meshes (N 047CD), it's high time for them to take over more corners, to reclaim even more spots between lo-fi and sci-fi, retro electronica and contemporary classic. Drawing upon influences as varied as Reich, Riley, Ryuichi, múm, Meek, and Moondog, while also nodding to other experimental twosomes (e.g. The Books), the duo's fourth full-length Spots arrives via Alien Transistor. Electronic shapes align and things lift off -- with a majestic 8-bit sunrise soon appearing right in front of the listener. Whereas playful title song "Spots" is a miniature Rube Goldberg kind of device, with quirky plucked strings and glitches setting off more and more contraption layers, "Crackleboom" is uncharted energy, an open landscape, an expanding bonfire that leads to a long-forgotten piano, all dust-covered in some kind of saloon. Things break and shatter in the distance, but this spot right here is for hypnosis, dancing, sylvan spirits. And yeah, it's surprisingly hot down here in the undergrowth. It's all DIY spots, spots that leave room to dream or dangle, drape yourself over or dive into. Returning to the leafy bower on a melancholy post rock tip, we eventually learn that "Death Is Real" -- and so the listener is left with a laterna magica that turns and turns and turns. It's a beautiful spot where light and shadows keep on dancing, just like they've always done, ever since the dawn of this madcap universe.

CHKHEIDZE + ROBERT LIPPOK, ANUSHKA	Uncontrollable Thoughts	LP	MORR MUSIC	MORR 205LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 LP version. Yellow color vinyl. Anushka Chkheidze and Robert Lippok's Uncontrollable Thoughts on Morr Music is the duo's debut joint release. The Netherlands-based Georgian composer and the German sound artist from Berlin first met in 2019 in the context of a workshop program that took place in Tbilisi, and later worked with Eto Gelashvili, Hayk Karoyi, and Lillevan on the massive Glacier Music II music and book project, released in 2021. This led them to engage in a less conceptually driven form of musicking and real-time composition that corresponds with their respective environments. They draw on traditions such as minimal music or late 1990s and early 2000s electronica to integrate subtle beats with elegiac organ drones, playful melodies with lush textures. The first document of an ever-shifting intergenerational dialogue, Uncontrollable Thoughts is a product of mutual listening outside time. Though Chkheidze and Lippok had access to professional studios, they chose to rent a simple rehearsal space, equipped with only the bare essentials -- bass and guitar amps as well as a small PA -- to maintain immediacy in their working process. The music they made together corresponded to and drew on the respective possibilities and shortcomings of this studio, much like their collaboration in general is characterized by the care with which they approach each other's talents and ideas. While both had loosely defined roles -- Chkheidze was responsible for the free-flowing beat programming and the evocative distortion came courtesy of Lippok, for example -- they individually contributed in different ways to their joint process, which is as free of hierarchies as it is limitless. Hence, the duo's focus on spontaneity and out-of-the-moment emergence makes them organically move beyond tried and tested conventions, resulting in music that seems to suspend time altogether. While there is much that sets Chkheidze and Lippok apart as solo artists, the major shared leitmotif in their respective bodies of work is the sonic engagement with space. Uncontrollable Thoughts is hence best understood as an extension of this practice; as an album that maps the geographies of their minds in motion, tracing musical movements as they melt into each other.

SPENCE, ALEXANDRA	Your Whistle Tells Of Landscape	LP	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 141LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Developed over three years across residencies, tours, and periods of deep listening, Your Whistle Tells of Landscape finds Australian sound artist Alexandra Spence continuing her investigations into the perceptual entanglements of sound, place, memory, and imagination. Like much of the artist's work, it unfolds at the liminal edge between the real and the imagined -- between what is heard and what is remembered. Composed from a constellation of materials gathered across sites and seasons -- snowscapes recorded in Vancouver, insect choruses from a Sydney backyard, ceramic fragments unearthed while mudlarking with tinysound -- it renders an intimate cartography of experience: one shaped equally by ecological resonance and internal drift. Each piece traces a kind of imaginary geography, where sonic ephemera become proxies for topography, weather, or myth. The album is informed by time spent at EMS (Stockholm) and MESS (Melbourne), where Spence deepened her engagement with microtonality and tuned feedback systems, and by dialogues with sympathetic artists such as Tashi Wada and Patrick Farmer. Sound materials were sourced from Serge Modular systems, a custom lyre built by Tim Wall, amplified objects, handmade electronics, and Spence's own field recordings captured within rockpools, beneath sand, and among a flock of sheep in the French Pyrenees. On "Magenta," a collaboration with Delphine Dora, the domestic and mythic intertwine, as layers of voice, environmental recordings, and Halldorophone feedback drift in and out of one another like overlapping weather systems. Despite its diverse material palette, the album resists spectacle or accumulation. Instead, it moves with a quiet sense of continuity and a rich interiority -- less a sequence of compositions than a set of situated attunements. Across its duration, sounds seem to murmur, glint, or hover right at the edge of presence, invoking a listening practice that is as much about orientation as it is about reception. These are pieces not simply about place, but of place -- etched with the grains of time, vibration, and breath.

DRUMM, KEVIN	Sheer Hellish Miasma (2025 Repress)	2LP	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 053X-LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Widely regarded as one of the most uncompromising works in experimental noise, Kevin Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma is once again available on vinyl. First released on CD in 2002 on the original Mego label, the album remains a landmark in extreme electronic sound and is an essential and ferocious document of Drumm at his most inventive. The history of Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma is one of resilience to the twists of underground trends that have come and gone since its initial release. Using guitar, tape manipulation, microphones, pedals, analog synthesizers, and subtle computer processing, Sheer Hellish Miasma is an overwhelming experience: a sonic onslaught of storming feedback, fractured textures and an unrelenting energy. At once brutal and meticulously composed, the album offers a singular vision at the outermost edges of sound art. For seasoned noise veterans, Sheer Hellish Miasma offers a bracing soundscape filled with exquisitely abrasive textures and more than enough hidden detail to warrant repeated listening -- a distinct voice in the increasingly same-sounding world of abstract electronic noise. For everyone else, Drumm's journey through the noisy underworld is likely to inspire fear or, in an optimistic case, fearful admiration. Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma is an abstract noise classic with this 2LP reissue being an artefact of eternal power. Gatefold sleeve, gold pantone print. Includes hot foil stamping.

U-ZIQ	1979	2LP	BALMAT	BALMAT 019LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 "Two years after he first appeared on Balmat with 1977, Mike Paradinas returns with 1979. The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something -- half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair -- in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released. Just like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Like its predecessor, the new album's atmospheric cast sets it apart from much of the work Paradinas has released as µ-Ziq on Planet Mu. It's not strictly an ambient record, but it's close, as close as this famously mutable artist ever comes to inhabiting a particular genre. Paradinas' inspiration for the record began on visits to the Spanish cities of Ávila and Majadahona, where his family hails from. That might account for the sense that there are spirits flitting through this music, presences you can intuit if not quite grasp. But 1979 is also a record to meet on your own terms, and to find your own meanings in. It's a stunning record, every track a world unto itself: the mysterious contours of "Majadahonda at Dawn"; the playful melodic fillips of "Clari"; the airy melancholy of "Galletas"; the full-scale breakbeat abandon (yes, you read that right) of "Houzz 14," the rarest of dancefloor detours for Balmat. There are echoes of classic braindance and isolationist ambient and golden-age IDM; there are easter eggs and recurring themes and hidden symmetries. Despite what the title might suggest, it's less a trip back in time than a portal to another universe, a destination for(to?) which only Mike Paradinas knows the exact coordinates." --Philip Sherburne

Originally released in 1975 during the so called "Italian Years Of Lead", Angoscia endorses all of the subliminal and controversial emotions of the time with a series of ethereal yet mysterious sketches. It is possibly one of the most intense and obscure release by famous Morricone alumni and collaborator Alessandroni. His guitar is the leading voice here, with several cloudy synth arpeggios, classical piano chords and solemn string sections. A dark feel surrounds the opera overall: a true gem ranked between the most confrontational of the Italian library genre.

GARCIA, LESLIE	Animistic Resonance	LP	UMOR REX	UR 158LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Animistic Resonance marks a new stage for artist and electronic musician Leslie García, as it is her first album under her own name, following several releases as Microhm and her parallel work as founder of the contemporary art studio Interspecifics, where she has developed an extensive body of sonic projects presented in major museums and programs around the world. The album is the culmination of a profound and extended exploration of sound as language. It is also a statement against the classicism of long-form ambient pieces. Narratively, each track is conceived as a finely detailed work that functions as a condensed temporal fragment, each with its own individuality while simultaneously forming part of a broader universe. The compositional language of the album draws on minimalist structures, deep listening strategies, and experimental approaches to electronic sound. Each track offers a meditation on repetition, density, and micro-variation, unfolding like a sonic landscape shaped by temporal tension and perceptual ambiguity. Animistic Resonance resists categorization, situating itself between ambient, noise, and abstract rhythm, while grounding its aesthetic in a Latin American sensibility that embraces technological poetics, affective depth, and critical imagination. The album invites listeners to move beyond the surface and inhabit a world of vibrational and animistic temporalities. It offers a refuge in sound, a suspended space where calm can emerge. In the midst of contemporary turbulence, Animistic Resonance opens the door to imagining new ways of listening and feeling, demanding an embodied and visceral form of engagement. Composition sound synthesis and programming by Leslie García. Composed between 2022 and 2024 in Mexico City. Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY. Artwork by Daniel Castrejón.

DONNA REGINA	Lilac	LP	KARAOKE KALK	KK 139LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Lilac is the first Donna Regina album since 2019's Transient. The world has changed considerably since then, which has also left its mark on the Berlin indie pop duo. "In Lilac, I imagine good ol' Earth as a big ol' bear shaking us off because it can't stand us anymore," says Regina Janssen. "It has become a serious album," Günther affirms, but he is also adamant that it is not a sad one. Musically, Donna Regina have remained true to the spirit of their early work, recently re-released by Karaoke Kalk: their arrangements are as minimalist as they are emotionally rich. Samples play a smaller role this time than on earlier albums, with analogue instruments such as a monophonic synthesizer and, above all, guitars coming to the fore again. This frames lyrics that are being delivered by Regina in German, English, or in both languages. They delve even further into the intricacies of urban life. Starting with the ominous sounds of "Whole World In My Town," through the dreamscapes of "Autumn In Paris," to the elegiac conclusion of "No More Roses," Regina and Günther Janssen move through different timbres and styles with a few select means. Their preference for minimalist electronics becomes evident at times, while elsewhere the pieces open up to balladic arrangements in which the guitar plays a leading role. This turns Lilac into a city by itself, the songs forming its soundscape: every neighborhood looks different, every street has its own character.

MISTER WATER WET	Things Gone and Things Here Still	LP	SODA GONG	SODA 018LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/31/2025 Mister Water Wet returns to Soda Gong with Things Gone and Things Here Still, an album that radically expands the project's purview while preserving the homespun warmth and oblique tactility that have long defined Iggy Romeu's work. Where earlier records tilted toward the dusty swing of sample-based beatcraft or spectral minimalist jazz, here Romeu opens the frame to a more ensemble-minded approach, inviting a stellar cast of supporting musicians, including SG alumni Memotone and K. Freund, into the fold. The result is an album that feels both broader and more intimate, with live instrumentation such as piano, strings, and reeds woven into MWW's signature lattice of hand percussion, production sleights, and slippery time signatures. Acoustic and electronic textures bend toward each other like plants angling for the same light: bowed strings blur into vaporous pads, brushed drums scatter under riffing guitars, a horn phrase lingers in the same space as a cracked cassette loop. A tension between decay and presence -- the "things gone" and the "things here still" -- runs throughout the record. At times, the music evokes a chamber session refracted through waterlogged tape; at others, it recalls the afterimage of a hip-hop instrumental slowed into an oneiric haze. In the world of MWW, memory functions less as nostalgia and more as a living fabric -- mutable and resonant. Things Gone and Things Here Still finds Iggy Romeu at his most expansive, offering up a generous record of open spaces and porous boundaries. Also featuring more eaze, Ben Bondy, and Sleepdial. Die-cut sleeve, gloss laminate finish. Includes download code.

While both had loosely defined roles -- Chkheidze was responsible for the free-flowing beat programming and the evocative distortion came courtesy of Lippok, for example -- they individually contributed in different ways to their joint process, which is as free of hierarchies as it is limitless. Hence, the duo's focus on spontaneity and out-of-the-moment emergence makes them organically move beyond tried and tested conventions, resulting in music that seems to suspend time altogether. While there is much that sets Chkheidze and Lippok apart as solo artists, the major shared leitmotif in their respective bodies of work is the sonic engagement with space. Uncontrollable Thoughts is hence best understood as an extension of this practice; as an album that maps the geographies of their minds in motion, tracing musical movements as they melt into each other.

FROESE, JEROME	Sunsets In Stereo	CD	MOONPOP	IN 278492CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/25/2025 Jerome Froese's fourth solo album. Jerome Froese was a long-standing member of the legendary German electronic band Tangerine Dream, working as a composer and multi-instrumentalist from 1990 to 2006. During this period, he received seven Grammy nominations. As the son of Tangerine Dream founder Edgar Froese, who passed away in 2015, he carries on the musical DNA with independence and innovative spirit -- in his own unique way. Froese's solo works are characterized by his unmistakable trademark sound, which he himself describes as "guitartronica" -- a unique fusion of electronic sound structures and guitar-based textures. In addition to electronic elements, the album also features stylistic influences from the post-rock and dreampop genre, which lend the sound additional emotional depth and organic warmth.

EUSEBEIA	The Wyrding Way	LP	LIVITY SOUND RECORDINGS	LIVITY 070LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 Best known for his cinematic jungle excursions, Seb Uncles returns to Livity Sound for a second extended release of introspective electronics with a strong influence from mystical sources. As Eusebeia, Uncles has developed a strong, independent presence in modern electronic music defined by a prolific run of deep-diving, breakbeat-driven albums and EPs. In 2022 he released Cosmos on Livity Sound, a mini-album that zoomed out to a more reflective strain of electronica shaped by atmospheric synth lines in the hauntological vein of Ghost Box, Pye Corner Audio et al. The Wyrding Way finds Uncles delving even deeper into this area of his output, keeping drums to a bare minimum and focusing instead on powerful melodic lines. There are still considered soundsystem moments that connect with Livity's long-standing sonic focus, not least the subtle dub inflection of centerpiece "By The Light Of The Moon" Elsewhere Uncles leaves the melodic parts unaccompanied, letting the phrasing and emotional pull of the title track tell its own story. Balancing light and dark elements and drawing inspiration from personal experiences and perspectives, combined with spiritual and existential observations, Uncles capitalizes on the evocative streak in his studio practice to deliver a timeless, immersive experience unlike anything else in his considerable back catalogue. Livity Sound is a label set up by Peverelist in 2011 as a vehicle for a raw and exploratory strain of UK techno, rooted in the heritage of UK dance music and sound system culture. It has since become one of the UK's foremost protagonists for cutting edge underground electronic music.

VA	The Library Archive: Vol. 4	CD	ATA RECORDS	ATA 042CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 ATA Records presents the fourth volume of their regular soundtrack series, the Library Archives. An honest and forthright homage to the golden age of library recording, this new release is no exception -- with nods to David Shire, Roger Webb, '60s/'70s Hollywood, early anime and golden era video games. Hammond & Farfisa organ, soul flute and vibraphone are joined by the Baldwin electric harpsichord, alto flute and trumpet, all coloring the usual high-end rhythm section of drums and bongos, electric bass, piano and guitars. Moods range from the dynamic "The Galata Extraction" to the whimsical "Travers" and the romantic "Redford in Sheepskin," from the brooding "Tatsuya," the "Sword" to the sensual "Dunaway's Eyes." Walter in Gabardine and Sutherland fly the ATA library flag of '70s-era NYC soundtracks -- and both "A Dilemma for Holbrook" and "Roundtree" are drenched in soul flute so funky, it should be on the cheese counter. Now four volumes (and a couple of singles) in, The Library Archive will eventually stand as a testament to the love the ATA producers and artists have for the original composers and performers of the great music libraries of the past.

GUTIERREZ, SUTJA	Asystole Flatline	LP	LUMIERE NOIRE	LN 060LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 Five years after the enigmatic Phylax Society, the ever-sonic wanderer Sutja Gutierrez returns with Asystole Flatline, a new full-length odyssey. Asystole Flatline, an album shaped between studios in Barcelona in a process as tactile as it was instinctive, explores naked masculine vulnerability and the complex emotions that surround the irrationality behind every heartbreak with raw honesty. There's a certain violence woven throughout the album, an energy that emerges from the frustration of the fatherless man -- insecure, searching through different relationships for something unnamed. The work unfolds in dreamlike scenes with unexpected turns, revealing voices that range from raw and saturated to gentle whispers. Gutierrez delivers a work that slips between worlds -- part reverie, part vertigo -- haunting the threshold between what's ending and what's yet to come. With Asystole Flatline, Lumière Noire reaffirms its commitment to fearless, genre-defying voices that challenge conventional boundaries.
