French improviser David Papapostolou has just started his new record label, Adjacent Recordings, and Leaving Room (Adjacent001), his duo with Daniel Jones) is the debut release. “Working as a small structure allows me to take more risks than established labels and the idea is to document the activity of young and emergent musicians in...

Here we see two LP records, Die Sonne and Die Wille. These two foreboding slabs of extreme electro-acoustic art were sent to me by Raymond Dijkstra, who calls himself Le Souffleur for his sound-art endeavours. At time of writing I must confess I have not managed to sit through any one of these four...
Two new examples of the school of indiscernible music from US label Winds Measure Recordings. Richard Garet started composing l’avenir (WMR 12) when at an early stage he was struck by the aptness of a quote on “the future” by Jacques Derrida, and let the concept take him where it may. He...
Zanzibar Snails, noted in issue 16, are back again with a new CD in a hand-made screenprinted digipack. The delirious Brown Dwarf (MAYYRH RECORDS MYH05) features this Texan improvising collective as a four-piece incarnation, including Michael Chamy who works with live electronics and tape loops and also produced the record. Effectively one long piece...

The Boring Machines label operates out of Treviso in Italy, a lovely small town I happen to have visited once in 1988 as a semi-accidental guest at a comics fair. Whispers For Wolves may have whiff of the ‘gothic’ in their name and mysterious dark cover art, but Language of the Dards (BM006) delivers...

Gnaw Their Tongues has been something of a revelation to TSP contributor Jennifer Hor (and myself) this year, certainly as one of the sickest and most extreme examples of nightmarish Black Metal to have assaulted our innocent ears. “You can see just from these track titles alone the CD is screaming for a review...
