Label Description: “Knowledge Has No Enemies But The Ignorant” is another joint release from the British band RAPOON and the American band PAS MUSIQUE. It’s arguably their best joint effort. It features thirteen longer compositions, totaling over two hours, filled with ambient structures, a psychedelic aura, and numerous improvised fragments. It seems the two gentlemen have found a common language, one based on years of experience in experimental music and revealing their shared roots and inspirations, which can undoubtedly be found on this double-disc album.
Label Description: Celebrating the 50th release on Body Musick with a colossal compilation of tracks by artists from Colombia and around the world who submitted to the open call in early 2025. Special thanks to everyone involved.
Brooddark presents his first solo project on Cryo Chamber, a dark futuristic and industrial album
Gritty walls of sounds meets careful distorted texturing, meticulous details abound for those that listens closely to the background of ever changing soundscapes and moods. A dark and heavy album, that is equally parts hypnotizing as it is energizing
Recommended for fans of Warm Distortion, Industrial and Cyberpunk Soundscapes
“No knowledge of where gone from. Nor of how. Nor of whom. None of whence come to. Partly to. Nor of how. Nor of whom. None of anything. Save dimly of having come to. Partly to. With dread of being again. Partly again. Somewhere again. Somehow again. Someone again”.
From “Ceiling” (1981), by Samuel Beckett
What will you do when confronted with nothingness? On his sophomore effort “Accidental Meetings”, Evgeny Bylina meditates on this existential question. The album was created by chance while working on another record. Drawing inspiration from the prose of Samuel Beckett, this two-track tape laments the past, echoing the sound of the dance floor with its long, carefully constructed pieces.
These ambient compositions exist only as distant memories of a joyful past. The harsh reality of the morning urges you to look into the abyss hidden in the ceiling or wall. In a way, it’s a hungover record, reflecting an emotional and physical state of decadence: blurry and tranquil, it inverts the surroundings in the liminal space for a while. However, it’s not just a dream: the heaviness of the environment reminds us that the body is not an abstract concept, but part of the world. Is there any hope? Or are we barely supported by fleeting nostalgia? Listeners must find the answer for themselves.
A deep reworking of Llyn Y Cwn’s “Megaliths” (2024). The original was a profound dark ambient exploration of the sacred resonance embedded within stone circles; “Megaliths In Dub” is the echo beneath the surface, the unheard rhythm that has always been there.
The megaliths stand – timeless, unyielding. Their histories stretch beyond recorded memory, their presence imbued with silent narratives of the land. “Megaliths” sought to channel this ancient energy into pure sound. Yet no history exists without its counterpart – no creation without its shadow.
On “Megaliths In Dub”, suppressed tempos emerge, pulsing with the primal force of forgotten rites. Guitar invocations from the live rituals weave through the fabric of the album, distorting and reshaping the familiar, exquisite dark ambient Llyn Y Cwn has become renowned for.
It is a sonic metamorphosis – a spectral reflection of the megalithic presence.
The stones have been disturbed.
Presented in a 6-panel digipak with breathtaking photography by the artist.

LLYN Y CWN “Megaliths” (2024).
Megaliths (2024) was a sonic pilgrimage through burial chambers and stone circles, crafted from years of field recordings and convolution reverbs. Guided by Julian Cope and Aubrey Burl, Llyn Y Cwn channelled the ancient silence into immersive dark ambient soundscapes.

LLYN Y CWN conveys atmosphere and environment through deep ambient sounds. A phantasm of echoes reflecting the bleak majesty and poetic melancholy of the hinterland of North Wales. A hole within a void, a place defined by absence in a world of negative space.
Ben Powell has been making electronic music for over 25 years, drawing inspiration from his native North Wales landscape and his participation on Arctic research cruises. While most artists can only imagine what these desolate land and seascapes feel and sound like, Llyn Y Cwn is an authentic reflection of these incredible locations.
The musicians of the WORMWOOD’S HEART project believe that time is the cyclical immensity of the self, and we are all the light that permeates this process. “Synchronous Cycles of Light” is a material born from the need to explore sounds and the information they convey, as well as from observing the subtle interrelationships between culture (the human) and nature (the non-human). WORMWOOD’S HEART is inspired by synchronicity – the interaction of many people and events that became part of the creation of this album. The musicians primarily aimed to highlight the full spectrum of experiences that make up their lives – from harmony and silence to moments of tension and uncertainty. Driven by respect for the space in which their music is to resonate, they minimize it to its essential elements. The album is an invitation to a shared experience of the multifaceted nature of life – its beauty, mystery, and contrasts. The entire album was recorded at the Cierpienie Studio and its surroundings in Smarzyków in the summer of 2025.
WORMWOOD’S HEART – SYNCHRONOUS CYCLES OF LIGHT Wormwood’s Heart are Piotr Ramlau and Marcel Gawinecki. Synchronous Cycles of Light are Karolina Karpowicz, Daniel Górny, Marceli Dziurleja, Natalia Kozłowska, Etna, Smarzykowo, and all the tiny synchronicities that made this album possible to emerge.
For a time, we looked at life — and life looked back at us. Captured and recorded at Studio Cierpienie and its surroundings in Smarzykowo, in the middle of summer ’24.
Dave Fuglewicz’s work has been reissued on the NO PART OF IT label before, if only for additional posterity, in particular the “Selected Works 1990-1997” collection. Michael Thomas Jackson is also known under the project name “Cephalic Index”. “The Sky Is Glowing” was arranged in 2012.
Here is what Fuglewicz had to say:
“At the end of 2011, Michael Thomas Jackson sent me a CD of source files he had made (titled “Moog and turntable, Nov and Dec 2011”) for me to use as I saw fit. It was an unexpected but pleasant surprise, BIG thanks to Michael for this. I finally started working with the files a couple weeks ago, completing this first piece; “The Sky Is Glowing” of what will be a full release. FYI: I consider a full release to be about sixty minutes in length. I only used the files Michael sent me on this, modifying, editing and blendarizing them into the final form posted here. I hope you enjoy it. For those of you unfamiliar with Michael’s work, I highly recommend checking him out.” credits released September 1, 2025

This incarnation of Blood Rhythms: Arvo Zylo & David Oakspawn “Thin Places” was originally released on a tape for Personal Archives limited to 33 copies. “The Night Letter” was released on a netlabel compilation themed after public domain film samples.
This piece deals with reflected images, sounds and ideas and the perceptions thereof and how they echo and compliment their real-life counterpoints. The album consists of two tracks, each with compositional direction from the same score but in opposite directions. These two tracks were then blended together, one forwards and one backwards for each side, to create the two finished halves. The results are sounds occurring together moving forward while their reflected sounds move backwards.
