Sleepers Records is proud to present the first-ever CD edition of Vision's Fugitives, the 1977 album by Sensations' Fix, newly remastered, expanded with five previously unreleased recordings, and manufactured in Tokyo, Japan.
Originally released in the United States on the independent All Ears label, Vision's Fugitives appeared outside the band's main label relationship with Polydor, reflecting a more independent chapter in the group's history. Difficult to find for many years, it has remained one of the lesser-known releases in the Sensations' Fix catalogue.
Led by guitarist, composer and producer Franco Falsini, Sensations' Fix developed through an exploratory and self-directed approach to recording. Falsini began experimenting with electronic music and multitrack recording after moving from Florence to the United States in the late 1960s, where he worked with early Moog synthesizers and four-track tape machines. After returning to Italy, Sensations' Fix took shape with Richard Ursillo (bass, keyboards) and Keith Edwards (drums, percussion). The group signed with Polydor in 1974 and went on to release a series of albums that established their distinctive sound.
Although rooted in Italy's progressive music scene, Sensations' Fix followed their own path. Their largely instrumental music combined electric guitar, analogue synthesizers, repetitive rhythms and spacious production, drawing comparisons with groups such as Neu!, Can and Amon Düül II while maintaining a character of its own.
This expanded edition has been newly remastered and includes five previously unreleased recordings, presenting previously unheard material alongside the original album for the first time.
The original front cover, designed by Paul Whitehead, features a painting created in 1914 by Armenian- American artist Loutfi Jacobian, which was rediscovered decades later in an antique shop has been faithfully reproduced and is complemented by a newly designed Japanese-style obi strip created exclusively for this edition. The package also includes additional photographs of the band not featured in the original release, offering additional visual documentation of Sensations' Fix during this period.

Limited Edition 300 copies.
4-panel Digipak with 18-page booklet, manufactured in Germany.
Ambient Koan represents a profound synthesis of three decades of experimental music exploration and 25 years of Zen practice. This 16th studio album by Viz Michael Kremietz emerges from the liminal spaces between breath, sound, and meditation, anchored by the ancient voice of the Shakuhachi flute. The album weaves together solo compositions originally created for theater and performance with collaborative pieces featuring some of Europe's most innovative experimental musicians. Each track serves as a sonic meditation, inviting listeners into "unknown dimensions with pre-verbal and pre- symbolic origins."

"The MATAR project was founded by Adi Newton TAG /SOON/ Spectral Unit / ClockDVA in 2016 in collaboration with Michael Esposito, an American pioneering EVP researcher & Sarah Rosalena Brady, an American Violinist and Assistant Professor of Art at UC Santa Barbara with a number of special performances in the US and Europe. the Album Archaeoacoustics has been developed over 5 years using live binaural beat frequency recordings at Stone Henge and field recordings from the Hurlers site in Minions / Bodmin Moor .
the Album explores concepts from Archaeoacoustic theories and the spiritual Mythological beliefs of Ancient cultures such as the Phrygian and Magnesian. the Name MATAR is derived from the Phrygian name meaning ('Mother’). At Pessinos in Phrygia, the mother goddess identified by the Greeks as Cybele took the form of an unshaped stone of black meteoric iron, and may have been associated with or identical to Agdistis, Pessinos' mountain deity.
No contemporary text or myth survives to attest the original character and nature of Cybele's Phrygian cult. Images and iconography in funerary contexts, and the ubiquity of her Phrygian name Matar ("Mother"), suggest that she was a mediator between the "boundaries of the known and unknown: the civilised and the wild, the worlds of the living and the dead. Her association with hawks, lions, and the stone of the mountainous landscape of the Anatolian wilderness."
