we really dont know what they put into danish water, but somethings gotta be responsible for all that freeform talent pouring out of that country. think of whomadewho, jatoma, when saints go machine or kenton slash demon, all sharing a keen sense for structural complexity made accessible through emotion and pure boldness. these guys freed their minds a while ago, so the asses seemingly followed suit and now constantly demand to be shaken. with two of those acts already signed to kompakt and the other two being staff favorites since their first acoustic blurps, it was just a question of time until we would discover another totally unique producer from denmark. enters taragana pyjarama, a project whose music is as refined as it is chaotic, described by some as a fairytale with a bassline.
comes as double 10 inch vinyl, including cd-version of this release.

limited edition of 300 copies. pressing on pearl white translucent & marbled vinyl.

>home< ist the debut album by the analog roland orchestra! ltd ed. 2x12 inch vinyl + cd

glitterbugs albums, releases and remixes (on respected labels such as mule, nowtown, ghostly, ki records and many more) have long placed him in a musical and artistic category of his own. he is a timeless, skillful and daring producer, immune to hypes and seasonal sub-genre fashions. he has developed his own particular musical language that spans seamlessly between deep techno and abstract intimate compositions, always poignant with score-like textures. his 3rd studio album, cancerboy, is another milestone conjoining powerful musical expression with heavy content.

20 years in the making, nothing but noise, the trio led by front 242 mastermind daniel b and featuring original front 242 member dirk bergen and erwin jadot, finally release their debut album >not bleeding red< on uk independent future noise music.

this march the london based art editions and experimental electronics label we can elude control presents a new 12 inch by the sound artist and sculptor tom richards. through his custom built array of hardware richards has developed a tense percussive language, crafting immersive rhythmic compositions that explore aspects of structure, tonality and variance. his loop based patterns evoke a purist machine aesthetic reminiscent of a vintage analogue sensibility in collision with a super-modernist compositional approach and an exploration of post-techno ritualism. his production process focuses on a live improvised approach working across several custom made devices to built a rhythmic composite of interlaced tones and cyclical pulses.
including cd with live recordings by tom richards.

we have decided to publish these tracks as our first release because they took inspiration from the two words label name: eleusína and recreations. thinking about that ancient mysteries and hoping they could survive till nowadays and in the future as a aid of our poor life helped us a lot in composing these tracks.
the two track ep was compost almost interely by machines with a little computer aid. cause we are only humans and conditioned by our fears and weaknesses, we have decided to make them almost mono tracks to maximize the transfer achievement to vinyl. have we took the wrong way? we do not know, but we keep some time to reflect about that and find the best balance between stereo and mono that fits our soul.
here we are, is not time for words right now, let the sounds speak.

masami akita and lasse marhaug have been working together since the mid 90ies. the first release on marhaugs (now deleted) label jazzassin records in 1995 was the >first rock< split single. in 2001 merzbow and jazzkammer (marhaugs project with john hegre) released a live album. later, akita and marhaug executed several live collaborations, but often with other artists such as hair stylistics and jim o rourke. in 2010 they finally got together to record as duo. recorded at gok sound studios in tokyo the results can now be heard as >mer mar<.
made using a combination of scrap metal screeching, analogue synths, and enough effect pedals to give you overweight with most airline companies, >mer mar< is a tour de force for both of these noise veterans, hinting to some classic 80s merzbow jams such as material action.

again a surprising but quality release on the never dull fine art recordings. new promising artist the k system delivers some experimental dubstep not dubstep electronics reminding of early rephlex stuff from the early nineties. very interesting stuff. final release of fine art recordings!

too late for this years christmas festivities, but hopefully still an acceptable gift for vinyl enthusiasts: two previously digital-only tracks from the running back(catalogue) on one split-10inch-plate. todd terjes picturesque ambient version of ragyshs antagonist snooze 4 love is backed up by jack plugs (alias chris bishop) supernatural (disco) dub of son of sams 1984 electro punk punch nature makes a mistake. two for one, one for all and 500 copies for the world.

these words are in the deepest part of douglass greed and the approach to his debut album. he allows his heart to lead, the better to look where it goes. therein hes distributing straight dope, however, in the sense of emotional impact – dance floor dictation it is not. greed crafts music that serves up euphoria for your mind on the terrace, mas- sage table, train or car trip and so on. a timeless effect stretches along the borders... an enduring touch, and to remain in the mind for seasons to come is his concern with this album. this is more weeping or laughing in the mirror rather than admiring the physical. douglas discusses not the luxurious but rather simplicity, in order to serve a sophisticated >author-future-pop< for the club under the bedspread. his fondness for other forms of musical self-realization shimmers on all of his releases up to now. on his own album, he expresses this passion to the fullest. the inclination for sensible beauty in the dark plays as the greed signature, a central role. featuring musician friends such as mooryc (poznan /polen), pascal bideau (a frenchman in london), kemo (a ger- man-hawaiian in new york), ian simmonds (uk) and delhia (jena), greed casts twelve expressive pulse beats of pure greed cosmos.

only vinyl release

walls are once again getting set to frazzle minds and make hearts swoon with the release of their second album >coracle< (26th september) - set to once again capture the shimmering layers of guitar and synths, ecstatic melodies and emotive vocals that made their debut an instant classic. their first single >sunporch< reinforces the ground they explored with last years >gaberdine<, a towering arpeggiated bass line surrounded by a swirling web of guitars and percussion. alongside an exclusive edit of >sunporch< and an unreleased ambient crooner, >tight spots< this is an essential followup that will leave you starved for what awaits within >coracle<.

fragen documents the extraordinary shedding of skin of one of the most important german electronic groups. hans-joachim roedelius was there from the beginning, first as a trio with conrad schnitzler and dieter moebius (kluster), from 1971 on as a duo with dieter moebius (cluster), and since 2010 as a duo with with onnen bock (qluster). bock (born 1973) and roedelius have been meeting up to explore new musical directions together since 2007. fragen is the first part of an exceptional trilogy, a grandiose new beginning, backed up by forty years of tradition.

small craft on a milk sea entstand aus brian enos vorliebe für soundtracks, die er anfang der 1970er für sich entdeckte und anderer musik vorzog. in zusammenarbeit mit den beiden jungen komponisten/musikern leo abrahams und jon hopkins entstand dabei ein werk voller sinnlichkeit, intimität und mystik, ausgedrückt mit den möglichkeiten und freiheiten moderner elektronischer musik. dabei kristallisieren sich die stücke mehr aus improvisation statt komposition und wirken für sich alleine gesehen wie das spiegelbild eines stummfilms - wie filme, die nur aus klang bestehen: klangfilme! damit reiht sich brian enos soundkosmos wie von selbst ein in die releasereihe des kultlabels warp, speziell zu dessen electronic listening klassikern aus den 1990ern

jatoma are all about the unknown and though they are new amongst us they remain cloaked in paradoxes and already questioned by many. some think that one of the members is a famed producer amongst 2 genius teenagers.
others project they are a side act for a band held in the highest regard. some will speculate they are just trying to get more attention by remaining unknown. the facts remain blurry and ambiguous but there remains an clear authenticity surrounding these factors - jatoma are clearly one of 2010s most inventive new acts our ears have had the pleasure to hear and its with our excitement we welcome them to kompakt. so enter their self-titled debut full length - >jatoma<.

freakin experimental / ambient like

on his new album, pantha du prince, who lives in berlin and paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter, any sound, even silence, is already music. the mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods, only some animals perceive this calm before the storm. black noise is something archaic and earthy. the music on black noise balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect. black noise also features a couple of special guests - noah lennox of animal collective sings on >stick to my side< and tyler pope of !!! and lcd soundsystem plays bass on >the splendour<.
