The Batcave was a weekly club-night launched at 69 Dean Street in central London in 1982. It is considered to be the birthplace of the Southern English goth subculture. It lent its name to the term Batcaver, used to describe the early fans of gothic rock music, who would adorn themselves in Batwing coffin necklaces to distinguish themselves from other goth clubs.

Special thanks Alizé and Aimy who built the fidgets on the artwork sleeve.
Dedicated to all those who continue to create free music despite being more than ever nonsense in such a society.
“To say this is an original piece of music is an understatement. It is a lucid combination of sublime sonic fusion of genres and a piece of music for those who get lost in their thought with the right soundtrack. Giving that vibe of part feeling and part emotion, ‘Origins #5’ feels like a concept for the introverted and an anthem for the subtle genius.
The video has a matching avant-garde vibe and way about it. Meaningless to those who never bother and meaningful to those who are aware of their surroundings, we get an obscure marriage of sight and sound done in such a way that makes it as captivating for the mind as it is captive in the heart.”

Few months ago I’ve seen that Black Sun painted by Odilon Redon in Amsterdam Van Gogh’s Museum. And Odilon is one of my fav surrealist precursors, so despite I enjoy a lot Coil, the title comes more from this black sun and also from the black sun of Bauhaus on the sleeve of the Sky’s Gone Out. Or also les éditions Soleil Noir.
Except for the Title the artwork is made without computer edit with an argentic photography bleach with javel and other substances…
There is an great exhibition (80 photos) of my photos & Studio112 argentic photographies till the end of february in france more info in french here https://www.horsnorme.org/instanT/
Dedicated to those who are not afraid to cross the darkness to reach the light and go further in the in between.
*What you are listening is a spontaneous improvisation, nothing prepared, no overdub, no mix, no edit except few…

We have another debut on MiMi Records. Japanese artist Ryo Kawawada brings us “Paludarium”, an ambient and introspective album that blends the softness of acoustic guitar with natural sounds, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
Kawawada uses the guitar delicately, creating subtle sonic layers that evoke images of peaceful landscapes, like a walk through a swamp. The album conveys a sense of calm, yet maintains a slight tension, inviting deep listening.
With a minimalist approach, “Paludarium” is a work that celebrates the connection with nature and the ability of music to create hypnotic and evocative soundscapes.

Refreshed from a year’s meditation and fuelled by a lethal combination of extra strong coffee and those lotus biscuits with the cream in the middle, Neko, the premier act to emerge from Bristol’s thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1) are back with “Windfall”, their second EP, following on from their highly acclaimed 2023 debut “King Louie”.
Like most second releases, it’s a more mature collection of songs than its predecessor (fewer songs about 5 a side football, more songs about complicated IT jobs and desperate attempts to avoid middle aged spread) that sees the band, now with vocalist Yuka Suzuki as a full time member, polish and develop their distinctive sound.
Teaming up again with producer Dom Mitchison, the EP’s four tracks are a vibrant melting pot of styles and ideas. Yuka Suzuki’s ethereal vocals are the one constant, through the dreamy “Stack Overflow” and “Kleshas” to the moody guitar lines and Donna Summer style synths of “Almost Forgotten”. The slow-building title track “Windfall” brings the EP to a pounding, cathartic conclusion.
The band will be undertaking a short tour towards the end of November to promote the release, with dates in Cardiff, London and hometown Bristol currently pencilled in. The “Windfall” EP is available for listening on Spotify and other music streaming services, while officially released on Shoredive Records (on CD) and Mahorka (cassette).
The Mahorka Edition cassette includes a whole exclusive B side of spectacular remixes of the original EP tracks by Asshole Galaxy, Tawdry Otter, Brainquake, popon and Suzuki.

Il duo si è formato durante un workshop di musica e spiritualità tenutosi nell’Abbazia di San Paolo fuori le mura a Roma nel 2024. Dotati di grandi capacità compositive e organizzative, ma scarsa attenzione, i quattro hanno imparato una lettera dell’alfabeto italiano a testa: la p, la a, la o e la l. Bastano infatti solo quattro lettere per sapere tutte le lettere di S. Paolo (la o viene ripetuta due volte e la S è muta).
Questo ensemble si distingue per la sua capacità di creare un’atmosfera unica e coinvolgente con semplici melodie tipiche di chi ha appena iniziato a suonare, ma vive l’urgenza di inondare il mercato musicale con il racconto della propria vita.
Con la speranza di fare cosa gradita, questo primo volume di una collana di album tutta da collezionare augura un futuro di serenità a: Corinzi, Colossesi, Efesini, Filippesi, Galati, Romani, Tessalonicesi.
“A voi ho trasmesso quello che anch’io ho ricevuto” (1 Corinzi 15:3).

Laricchia, Matsumoto, Nitti, and Padapopolous form an innovative musical duo, with Laricchia on piano and trombone and Nitti on drums, while the other members of the group do not play any instruments.
The duo was formed during a workshop on music and spirituality held at the Abbey of St. Paul Outside the Walls in Rome in 2024. Gifted with great compositional and organizational skills but lacking in attention, the four learned one letter of the Italian alphabet each: P, A, O, and L. Only four letters are needed to spell out “S. Paolo” (the O is repeated twice and the S is silent).
This ensemble stands out for its ability to create a unique and engaging atmosphere with simple melodies typical of those who have just started playing but feel the urgency to flood the music market with the story of their lives.
With the hope of being appreciated, this first volume of a collectible album series wishes a future of serenity to: Corinthians, Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, Galatians, Romans, Thessalonians.
“I passed on to you what I also received” (1 Corinthians 15:3).

Sýček je známý jako posel smrti, ale v české alternativní hudbě byl vždy přízviskem pro hudební antižánr krautrock, který tuzemské kapely do svých repertoárů zařazovali jen velmi sporadicky. Motorické bicí, hypnotické melodie, repetitivní struktury, minimalistické texty a heslo méně je více ale tuto kapelu charakterizovalo od prvních songů. Jejich debutové album „I” (vyšlo u NAAB) bylo v roce 2017 nadšeně přijato hudebními kritiky ( nominace na cenu Vinyla a zařazení do TOP10 českých desek za rok 2017 mezinárodního magazínu Beehype.) Po tom, co kapela hojně koncertovala a absolvovala i několik evropských tour, ale přišlo delší odmlčení zapříčiněné rozpadem původní jihočeské sestavy.
Sýček jako fénix vstává z popela v minulém roce, kdy frontman a zpěvák skupiny Libor Staněk II. společně s kytaristou Richardem Steinem (Pokora) do nové formace přizvali Jakuba Zháňala (ex Acute dose), Ambroze Šuleje (Krstní Otcovia) a Adama Křizovenského s Nataly Středovou (GRÜNT).
V současnosti už tedy česko-slovenská kapela Sýček na podzim 2024 vydává po sedmi letech druhou studiovou desku s lakonickým názvem „IV“. Nové uskupení se navrací tam odkud Sýček vzlétl poprvé: ke krautrockovému vzývání, které fanoušky uvádí do… more

En “Funeral para todo régimen de creencias” exploro conceptualmente la conexión entre las pequeñas tragedias del día a día, y las grandes tragedias que afectan a naciones por siglos, en un proceso que integra interdisciplinariamente la respiración meditativa, la escucha profunda, la producción sonora, el dibujo y la voz expandida. Mi objetivo es honrar los sacrificios del pasado y reavivar un sentido de compromiso con él.
El proyecto sigue una metodología experimental de producción de hondo carácter interdisciplinar que retoma prácticas e influencias de las pioneras de la música electrónica y digital como Pauline Oliveros y Daphne Oram, y metodologías de creación de artistas argentinas enfocadas en la exploración vocal, como Constanza Pellicci. Además, se basa en la idea de la tesis número 9 que Walter Benjamin escribe en su “Tesis sobre la Filosofía de la Historia”, donde describe al ángel de la historia observando la historia como una gran catástrofe continua.
Sonoramente, habita en la intersección de géneros como la electrónica experimental, música neomedieval, noise, black ambient y dungeon synth. A nivel discursivo, se sitúa en los debates actuales sobre el papel de la memoria en Argentina, un país donde los debates sobre cómo se escribe la historia y el rol del estado en las tragedias cotidianas e históricas están reabiertos. Este proyecto busca contribuir a estos debates desde un compromiso cultural en la creación de sentidos ciudadanos.
El proceso de esta exploración implicó una indagación en técnicas de respiración y movimiento buscando encontrar los lugares del cuerpo en donde habita la voz para producir diferentes gritos y ruidos, entendiendo a la voz como un fluido que emerge del cuerpo en movimientos de contracción y relajamiento. Buscando no ignorar el significado de las palabras que se enuncian, realicé estas exploraciones vocales mientras improvisaba poesía declamada, al mismo tiempo que contemplaba dibujos y grabados medievales.
A través de varias sesiones, identifiqué conceptos recurrentes en las poesías, que luego traté digitalmente para tejer una narrativa sonora. Este trabajo dio lugar a un EP de 17 minutos compuesto por cinco escenas sonoro-poéticas. A nivel sonoro, el proyecto busca hacer dialogar transcripciones modificadas de música medieval y renacentista, marchas militares argentinas, sintetizadores, instrumentos digitales, música electrónica y ruidismo.
“Check out the latest single from London-based Geiger von Müller, known for his experimental adventures in slide guitar. ‘Radar Truck’ is a blend of blues guitar and Müller’s cosmic sonic explorations. With just his acoustic guitar, Müller creates a range of sounds and rhythms, taking us on a sonic journey with a real groove. The ‘Radar Truck’ in the song’s title relates to the classic Lego space range, which has featured in a number of Müller’s videos. One of the key messages is that this range of toys prioritised exploration over conflict, with no weapons available in the original sets – something to think about in our turbulent times.” =Americana UK
