Naim founder Julian Vereker MBE (1945-2000) was a racing car driver, entrepreneur and self-taught engineer with a deep passion for music. Spending his spare time listening to and recording his friends playing live in the 1960s, Julian found that playback on his system at home fell woefully short of the experience he craved. Not content with second best, he decided to design his own amplifiers and loudspeakers, ignoring accepted wisdom and focusing on aspects of performance that made music burst to life. These first designs laid the foundations for a range of iconic and award-winning hi-fi products that would reach well into the next century. This maverick approach to design, backed by over 40 years of engineering and craft, fuels our progress today. Choose Naim to go deeper into your music, for a completely immersive and involving listening experience.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Announces G_ds Pee AT STATES END! Out 02 April 2021. GYBE returns with another soundtrack for our times. As the heretical anarcho-punk title implies, Godspeed harnesses some particularly raw power, spittle and grit across two riveting 20-minute side-lengths of noise-drenched widescreen instrumental rock and two 6-minute threnodies. 180gLP+10" edition sold out in our shop. Vinyl preorders now available only through independent shops. Don't wait/hesitate. Support them! Fly Pan Am announces a new full-length entitled Frontera that compiles some of the most direct, visceral, evocative music in the band's oeuvre, originally composed and performed live for the acclaimed contemporary dance piece FRONTERA. The studio recordings stand powerfully on their own, superbly capturing these bristling, sculpted pieces that juxtapose foreboding electronics and minimalist motorik avant-rock. Hear the first single "Scanner" and preorder the album on Deluxe 180gLP, CD, or digital. Constellation commissioned new long-playing singles from 16 different artists, as part of our pandemic support for label-affiliated musicians. Tracks are exclusive to Bandcamp and drop every Thursday. PWYC for the first week upon release. 100% of revenue goes to artists. Each track is also accompanied by an experimental film/video.
