Roman Flugel/EATING DARKNESS LP $33.00

Catalog #: RBLP15 1

These nine tracks are a testament to his weakness for the art of pop music, with sweeping synth arrangements throughout and a sense that a full on trance explosion is imminent at any moment. Though the more delicate moments are some of the most brilliant on the album. (RUNNING BACK)

Catalog #: SHLP004 1

Folky jazz, thematic variations, dusty oscillators, and euphonic grooves will draw you in as he advances his vintage Lowrey Heritage organ into new modes of resonance where it meets plangent Wurlitzer electric piano, cosmic flute, and BOBBY HUTCHERSON-esque vibraphone. (SUDDEN HUNGER RECORDS)

Roy Of The Ravers/WHITE LINE... DLP $33.00

Catalog #: EAUX1691 1

Their second album features nine tracks that drift across tempos from a weightless 0 bpm to a crawling 100 to a lunging 140 and back, with a rich palette of sculpted noise and cross-talking microtones. (EAUX)

Rroxymore/FACE TO PHASE LP $25.50

Catalog #: DBALP006 1

Her long anticipated debut album methodically strips the music back to fundamentals, resulting in rumbling minimalist dub, sparse polymetric drums, and boldly unpredictable melodic narratives and subtleties which disappear into vapor. (DON'T BE AFRAID)
