Rescued from the vaults, this recording of 1974 collaboration between Wire's Bruce Gilbert and Ron West of The Tea Set was inspired by a talk given by Brian Eno. An incredible 30-minutes with freaky oscillator flexes reverberating between haunting noise and eerie calm. Still as compelling almost 40 years later.

Hans-Joachim Roedelius, founding member of Cluster, Harmonia and the Zodiak Arts Lab was invited by Brian Eno to play a solo piano show in London in 1985. The fellas at Bureau B have kindly taken it upon themselves to restore and release this stunning piano performance. Exquisite.

Jan Jelinek continues his - aural and philosophical - sample explorations by constructing tracks from recorded snippets of publicly performed music. The result is a lovely collection of free-jazz and library music sounds with a touch of Farben's rhythmicity.

Philpot regular Tim Toh appears with a blinding little single on the Stuttgart-based label. 'Pandemonium' is a frenzied outer-house gem, stuck on frictional multi-rhythms under a mystical winding vocal, 'Supercalifragilistic' a perc-intricate jazz-house track. Check!

Reincarnated as a vehicle for Gordon Sharp's solo productions, legendary post-punk project Cindytalk returns to Editions Mego for a third album. 'Hold Everything Dear' gracefully tackles intensity levels that range from fragile piano elegies to harmonious drone cascades on 12 inspired instrumentals. Excellent.

After last year's largely ambient 'Small Craft On A Milk Sea' Brian Eno returns with the musically diverse 'Drums Between The Bells', which even might be called disjointed if it weren't for the lyrics by English poet Rick Holland, spoken over synthetic world music, ambient funk and punktronica by various vocalists.

Optimo admirably dig out Throbbing Gristle's Chris Carter's epic 'Moonlight' - originally released on 'Mondo Beat' in 1985, its synth-wave purity landing in this decade sweeter than ever. Two remixes accompany, US duo Neurotic Drum Band imbue a disco shimmer and Oneohtrix stretches it raw and grainy. Hats off.

When not rocking clubs as part of minimal house duo Ogris Debris Vienna's Zanshin has been developing his own idiosyncratic brand of glitched-up electronica breaks. With its innovative rhythms and melancholic synths 'Rain Are In Clouds' is a perfect album for fans of Autechre and early Boards of Canada.
