Review from Kata 11, Come Org. 1982:
Suicidal album. Death ia a pleasure after a side of this record - it makes Come's "I'm Jack" seem like "Christmas Oratorio". Let MB be your executioner!

Endometrio / Endometrio De-Composto
*2022 stock* "Towards the end of 1982, I was living a moment of creative stagnation, and for avoid the risk of repeating myself with sterile modular secrations, I had an arterial idea: filering ancient recordings of mine through the aid of an Aiwa mucus echo machine , and so I set to process the sounds, transforming them into something completely new, so I coined the term “bionic music”, composed by concrete sounds recycled with electronic spraying… And as main theme I used the medical syncretis…
S.F.A.G. / S.F.A.G. De-Composed
*2022 stock* "Ante-facts : after the disintegrative period of my production (from “Symphony for a Genocide” to “Das Testament”), the purchase of a misanthropic echo-machine and the consequent decay of the electric-analogue machinery, my efforts was redirected to a pre-recording sound sublimation, so I started to re-compose the electronic metastasis of early times, filtering through dehumanizing effects of the echo-machine, keeping attention particularly to the explanatory process of my ancestral…

Atemporal Activity
'A piece that will continue to be talked about in the vast catalogue of Italian industrial/noise artist M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi), 2016, new domestic release.
Industrial~Noise~Electronic~Ambient, an ambient piece that demonstrates a depressive worldview in all directions, but it is full of M.B. taste that continues to suffer quietly. Twisted ambience, a historical invention of M.B.'s. A universal industrial classic. A destructive force that is more like an ever-expanding electronic cell than noise…
Tapes 1980/1981
*200 copies limited edition* In the "Tape Network" universe of the early 1980s where everything seemed possible, Maurizio Bianchi meets Lieutenant Murnau in two obscure but historical postal collaborations, originally released in a strictly limited edition for the British tape label Flowmotion (It Should Be Used Only Once) and for the German Litanic (Techno-Logy). Two of the best known promoters of the Italian experimental scene create two surreal experiments that anticipate the mash-up vogue, h…
Telmegiddo / Bacterihabitat
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "LP by Maurizio Bianchi and a CDR by M.B., and that's why a book is such a great idea. Why is that? 'Telmegiddo' (CD) is 'the last cassette tape decomposition' and was previously released as 'Extreme Man 2'. The two pieces on 'Bacterihabitat' (CDR) are from May 1982 and previously released as 'Extreme Man 1' - both of the releases actually released without permission. Its hard to say what the differences would be between both works, but they (all four pie…

Mectpyo / Blut
*2022 stock. 250 copies edition* 'Mectpyo/Blut' came out in 1980 as a ninety-minute cassette and between that and this official double CD Banned Production and Bacteria Field released it on cassette, but also came out as a double LP by Marquis Records and a single LP in Japan on no particular label. This release marks the transition from using the name Sacher Pelz to M.B. and was his first official release as M.B. (or MB, whatever you prefer).Four pieces here, each about twenty-two minutes (henc…
The Plain Truth
* Limited edition in Orange/Yellow vinyl. 155 copies * When I started my record label Broken Flag in 1982, one of the people I really wanted to work with was Maurizio Bianchi. His album “Symphony for a Genocide” was such a haunting, evocative record that I needed to get in contact with the man who made it. We made contact and remained regularly writing letters to each other, mine in my unintelligible scrawl, his in his red ink on photocopy paper. He was massively prolific and I soon became a dis…
Plays the Clockwork Orange
Reissue of a February 1980 decomposition (M.B. skippin' up the film's original soundtrack) from the Italian industrial forereunner. Halting tape cut-ups of the classical score from Kubirick's film. One of the strangest M.B. recordings!

Neuro Habitat
Quality reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the \'soundtrack\' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It\'s the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts.
\"In order to create this sound system, I used the conduc…
Mlifb (USB pen drive)
Experimental movies by Maurizio Bianchi ! MB films illuminate the fascination with space-time abstraction and visualised rhythm that unifies the practice of his music
Ultimum
*Edition of 10 (!) * Ultimumelectronics, ultimumwaves, ultimumdrones, ultimumpictures. Recorded at Emoptyc studio, during the beginning of the year A. S. (Anno Secundo) of the second pandemic era. Multimixing and multimequalization by Pharmakustik. "When you write an epitaph on your grave, the temptation is to write a famous phrase that lasts over time, demonstrating the yearning for eternity. Instead in the case of MB, there is no epitaph or famous phrase, but only a simple description of its o…
Landslide
** Edition of 300 ** 13 Presents Landslide by Gianluca Favaron, Stefano Gentile, Carl Michael Von Hausswolff and Rod Modell. On October 9, 1963, 260 million cubic meters of rock broke off from the top of Monte Toc. It fell into the reservoir of the Vajont dam, producing an enormous wave of at least 50 million cubic meters of water. The dam, completed in 1959 and one of the biggest in the world at the time, did not suffer any serious damage. However, flooding destroyed several villages in the val…
Armaghedon
* Edition of 310. Initial copies come with an exclusive MB original Polaroid photo from the time * The original soundtrack for M.B.'s unfinished film of same name. For obscure reasons, the original LP remained unavailable for a long time, and was distributed only one year after it was printed. Moreover, most of the copies were destroyed. This was M.B.'s last vinyl production, and also the only one featuring recordings of the artist's voice like most of Maurizio Bianchi's fascinating works, Armag…
Lastfirst
* Edition of 200 in 6-panel ecopack/digifile * Lastfirst is the brand new project by MB. The work is based on a reworking of his 1999 album entitled First Day Last Day. The original work has been totally reprocessed and reworked into a darker version that reflects even more the dark times we are living in. A symphony that digs deep into our souls and lays bare all our fears. Together with Dead Colours (2003), Lastfirst represents one of the most intense and profound moments in MB's discography. …
