At the turn of the 1980s, L.G. Mair, Jr. was coercing young electronic gear into odd new timbres by day and masquerading as a consummate bass guitar hero by night – a regular fixture at the legendary NYC comedy club Catch a Rising Star, where he was the house bass player – regularly performing alongside a host of iconic comedians from the past 40 years inc. Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman and Chris Rock.
Available for the first time on vinyl and presented over two expansive volumes, the Selected Rhythm Tracks 1988-1994 of L.G. Mair, Jr. reveals a hidden archive of introverted electro-minimalist songwriting culled from over 30 years of unreleased cassettes. TIP!
Remastered for 180g heavyweight 2LP vinyl, with sleeve artwork by the internationally acclaimed book designer Luke Bird.

Reissue of ‘Casioworks’ by Gust De Meyer, originally released as a cassette on Ding Dong Tapes in 1983. This stuff has been making crooked collectors, old and young minimal-wave heads and other music lovers going bonkers for years.
Made at home with the then very popular and cheap Casio VL Tone 1 calculator / synthesizer, every track was recorded in one take on a porta-sound Fostex 250 4 track cassette recorder/mixer.
MUST HAVE for all video game addicts – big tip! Limited edition of 500 on white vinyl!

New Album by Osaka’s bee keeping ambient master 7FO, out on Conatala Records. This time making full use of 1990s KAWAI digital and FM synthesizers, tracing the shapes of nature and creating a beautiful, wonderfully glassy dream-experience.
Hiroaki Hidaka designed the jacket and inlays to make the image of the sound appear cool and friendly everywhere.
