Name: ESA Explores Time and Space: the first Europeans in orbit by European Space Agency in ESA
Duration: 19 min 9 s
Description: In episode one of the ESA Explores Time and Space series, we explore the early days of Soviet spaceflight in conversation with Romania's first cosmonaut Dorin Prunariu. Dorin was one of 11 Europeans to fly under Russia's Interkosmos programme. In 1978, this programme saw the first European - Czech cosmonaut Vladimir Remek - become the first non-Russian or American to fly to space.

Don't be nasty, have a pasty.

Pioneering experimental electronic record receives first-ever complete vinyl pressing, featuring expanded content and exclusive liner notes.

Editions Mego release the highly anticipated vinyl reissue of Get Out, the groundbreaking second album by Peter Rehberg under his influential PITA moniker. Originally released in 1999, this seminal work stands as a landmark achievement in experimental electronic music, praised for its revolutionary fusion of ear-splitting noise and melancholic melodies.  Moving beyond the era's trend of pure abstraction, Get Out represents a pivotal moment when experimental electronic music began exploring new territories laying forth a path which many artists would subsequently follow.  

This expansive reissue marks a significant milestone for collectors and enthusiasts, presenting all 12 tracks from the 2008 eMego CD version on vinyl for the first time. The inclusion of the rare Detroit live recording (remastered by Jim O’Rourke) provides invaluable insight into PITA's performance practice during the album's original touring cycle, whilst new liner notes from Jim O'Rourke and Chris Clepper provide further personal and anecdotal insight.  

Since its original release, Get Out has been recognized as essential listening for understanding the evolution of experimental electronic music in the late 20th century. This authoritative reissue ensures that Rehberg's visionary work remains accessible to new audiences while providing longtime admirers with the definitive version of this crucial album.

Fluid Audio presents 'Broadcasting From Nowhere', the debut album from Ondelunghe, a collaboration between Tokyo-based multi-instrumentalist Hiromu Yamaguchi and Italian composer Guido Lusetti. Conceived not through physical proximity but through distance, correspondence, and quiet exchange, the album feels like a message transmitted across frozen air-intimate, fragile, and partly obscured by static.

Yamaguchi’s contributions-piano and field recordings, carry the brittle tenderness of winter breath. Keys sound as though pressed with hesitation, leaving behind vapour trails of melody that threaten to vanish the moment they form. The recordings themselves crackle and hiss, as if weathered by frost, capturing the small, persistent noises of a world bracing against silence: creaking surfaces, shifting air, something moving just out of sight.

Lusetti’s work-what he refers to as electronic pointillism, does not counter these gestures but suspends them. His tones drift like cold particulate matter, dust motes in a beam of static, circling the piano without ever enclosing it. Occasionally, other voices, Henrik Meierkord’s cello, Ed van der Berkel’s trumpet, Daniele Varelli’s shakuhachi-surface not as performers but as spectral presences. Their sounds arrive like signals from an abandoned transmitter, lingering momentarily before dissolving back into the dark.

The album unfolds slowly, as though aware that silence has weight, and too sudden a movement might shatter it. Notes hang, unravel, and fall away like light snow. The music never insists; it waits. To listen to Broadcasting From Nowhere is to tune into a frequency that feels both familiar and unreachable, a broadcast sent from a place you’re not entirely sure exists, or ever did.
