Mute

Amerikanska post-punk bandet Swans med en återutgivning av albumet 'The Seer' från<br/>2012.

Can: Live in Paris 1973 [Digipack / CD]

This album is a dynamic document of late-period CAN. Recorded in March 1977, the core line up of Irmin Schmidt, Jaki Liebezeit, Michael Karoli and Holger Czukay is augmented by the addition of Rosko Gee (Traffic) on bass. Gee&rsquo;s recent addition to the line-up meant that Holger Czukay was freed up from bass duties to perform &lsquo;waveform radio and spec. sounds&rsquo;, manifesting here as otherworldly sounds, samples and what one reviewer of a later show described as &ldquo;moontalk to a white continental telephone.&rdquo;

The acclaimed Can live series continues with the release of Live in Aston 1977, available via Mute and Future Days (the new EU label created by Spoon Records). The series was overseen by founding member Irmin Schmidt and producer/engineer Ren&eacute; Tinner, who delicately worked on restoring the archival recordings to the best quality for current modern technology.This record captures the band&rsquo;s 1977 performance in Aston and features Schmidt (keyboard and synths), Jaki Liebezeit (drums), Michael Karoli (guitars), Holger Czukay (wave receiver and spec.sounds), plus Rosko Gee (bass), who appears for the first time in the series. This release features sleeve notes by former Sex Pistol, Glen Matlock, sharing his first-hand experience of witnessing Can's live show.

Swans return with a double CD edition of &lsquo;Birthing&rsquo;, the latest album, developed over the course of a yearlong 2023-2024 tour. Refined through relentless improvisation and live performance, as well as newly composed studio pieces, &lsquo;Birthing&rsquo; is a testament to Michael Gira&rsquo;s uncompromising sonic vision. Beginning as skeletal acoustic compositions, the songs were gradually expanded and transformed in the studio with longtime live members and collaborators.&nbsp;

Adamson Barry: Scala!!! (Original Music by...) [Vinyl LP]

Depeche Mode's Strange/Strange Too (a much sought-after collection of music videos directed and filmed in Super 8 by Anton Corbijn) are compilations of the provocative and visionary short films created by master photographer/director Anton Corbijn, in collaboration with Depeche Mode, to create a new visual iconography for the band and their music.<br/> <br/>Available for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray and as a single collection, Strange/Strange Too presents 11 Anton Corbijn/Depeche Mode music films, newly restored from original Super 8mm sources, along with six never-before-seen outtake "vignettes" from the DM archives. In compiling the final montages for Strange and Strange Too, Corbijn created a visual sequence in which the individual video clips are seen as one continuous film, with additional intermediate clips not seen in the original clips.
