Editions Mego is very pleased to announce the release of a new album by Bruce Gilbert, whose career stretches back to late 1960’s British avant garde art & music scenes, and has since played an important and influential role with his involvement in various rock based formations, work for choreographic projects and art installations
‘Oblivio Agitatum’ is Gilbert’s first album length release since ‘Ordier’ (realised 1996 and released in 2004), essentially making this his first album of the 21st century. A startling and mesmerizing work which recalls some of his mid 1980’s works such as ‘This Way’ and ‘Shivering Man’. An ever shifting set of agitated and obscure tones creating a sense of confusion while still being highly structured and concentrated.
A stunning return.

Deeply absorbing. Jaeger's just at the edge of my tolerance for difficult harmonic material, but this single, long track really captures my attention. Michael Upton (Jet Jaguar)
An improvised jazz assault led by avant-garde bass clarinet melodies and dynamic tilt-a-whirls, overwhelming in the best possible sense. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 7, 2025
