Music in Crisis
Mega Tip! **Double vinyl with eight electronic music pieces, three of which are now on record for the first time.** Roberta Settels was an American composer and industrial designer. She studied composition at Juliard in New York, and during the 70-ties and 80-ties, composed electronic music in Stockholm at EMS, and in Paris at IRCAM, and studied with the composeres Pierre Boulez and Iannis Xenakis. Later she created her own studio. Isolation from 1985 is her only released recording. It was relea…
Dream House 78'17"

This first-time US edition reproduces the original gatefold sleeve with beautiful calligraphy by Zazeela and liner notes by Young and French musicologist Daniel Caux.
Side one was recorded at a private concert (on the date and time indicated by the title) and features Young and Zazeela's voices against a sine wave drone with Jon Hassel…
1st Annual Report
Industrial music pioneers and chaotic art terrorists Throbbing Gristle came together in 1975 in Kington Upon Hull, a formerly industrial city then in the midst of a long spiral of decline. Very Friendly, aka The First Annual Report is the legendary ‘lost’ album the quartet recorded in 1975 as the group morphed out of its COUM Transmission beginnings, the shocking title track an epic confrontational dirge recounting the brutal Moors murders of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley; elsewhere there are minim…
Trio, Quartet & Composer Revisited
Temporary Super Offer! When on January 20 1969 Mike Taylor was pulled from the River Thames – shoeless, alone, confused, ultimately drowned by his own hand – the young pianist and composer was only 31. A cynic might say that hindsight is a wonderful thing and that it was only years later, when fans began to speculate on the fatal glamour of an artist who died so young, that fellow musicians began to recollect him as a genius of modern music. At the time, they might well have thought of him – an…
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…
Scientist Wins The World Cup
Scientist's name can be found all over any dub record collection; he was a protégé of King Tubby, and many would say that when dub fell on quieter times it was Scientist who breathed new life into it. His pared-down mixing style suited the dancehall reggae sound that arrived as the '70s rolled into the '80s. This 1982 album includes the priceless dub of Johnny Osbourne's classic "Give a Little Love," as well as further cuts of the likes of Hugh Mundell and Wayne Jarrett. Scientist is always in c…
Samba Esquema Novo
Back in print ! First released in 1963 on Phillips Records, this was Jorge Ben's debut album. "Samba Esquema Novo", which translates to 'New Style Samba' deliberately sets a new standard in Brazilian music. A beautiful, fresh and vital combination of Ben's percussive guitar and smooth/rough voice backed by Big Band style horns, percussion (the great Dom Um Romao) and strings. In 2007, it was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil as one of the 100 best Brazilian albums in history, but It would be enough…
Tone Float
Grey-area reissue of Organisation's Tone Float, originally released in 1970. German rock band, Organisation, is often referred to as the prototype or predecessor of Kraftwerk -- the godfathers of electronic music. In fact, it was the first iteration of Kraftwerk and if the band had managed to overrule its record label, RCA, Tone Float would have been credited as such. But given that the album was to be released only in the United Kingdom, the label opted for the more Anglicized name, "Organisati…
Rip, Rig & Panic
Featuring Roland Kirk, Elvin Jones, Jaki Byard, and Richard Davis. This incredible line-up strengthens 'Rip, Rig and Panic' as another indispensable Roland Kirk album.
The Rest
In June of 1977, Steve Lacy and Joe McPhee shared a double bill in Basel, Switzerland. Lacy invited McPhee to join him for a duet to close his set, for which McPhee elected to bring out his own soprano saxophone. The main part of Lacy’s performance was issued on the classic Clinkers LP; after 36 years, here is The Rest. This one-sided, limited LP marks the first and only time that these two master musicians played together, but the simpatico meshing of their distinctly individual voice…
Pacific
2024 repress. Victory present a reissue of Pacific, originally released in 1978. Reuniting the best session musicians Japan had to offer to make an album that would evoke the atmospheres of the South Pacific islands, the kind of places Japanese people spend their vacations. Pacific is a treat to the ears; its theme of the southern Pacific ocean and its warm cerulean waters relax its listeners with a fusion of city pop, soft jazz, and that good old 1970s funk while remaining surprisingly fully in…
Omni Sight Seeing
This was his first studio album in four years since his last album, "Endless Talking", and the first release since moving to Epic/Sony Records. This work was the result of sessions and collaborations with Arabian musicians, with an inclination towards the 'world music' that was gaining attention at the time. Deployed often in pop culture as punchline, Hosono takes such sight-seeing and transforms it into a metaphor for sample-heavy electronic music, drawing from various cultures and weaving them…

Computers S.P.A.
*300 copies limited edition. Includes CDr and tote bag* "After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn. After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn of 1980 I arrived at the synthetic court of the purest and most uncompromising electronics and thus the "Computers S. P. A." project was born, consisting of two improvisations on the Korg MS synth…
Verrückt
'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.
Alice The Goon
Limited edition of 500 copies, no repress. A new NWW mutation, with some of the most hauntingly evocative pieces in Steven Stapleton's catalogue, as striking and unusual as anything else Nurse With Wound has produced. A coherent sampler of Nurse With Wound’s range of dark and humorous that includes a full side of “Funeral Music For Perez Prado" on vinyl for the first time, the masterpiece "(I Don’t Want to Have ) Easy Listening Nightmares" from "Alice the Goon", and a a remix/rework of this tra…
Memorial
Tip! First time vinyl reissue. As part of the 25th anniversary of Hospital Productions, the second CD from Richard Ramirez appeared in the sacred year of 1997 on the monolithic Praxis Dr. Bearmann imprint from Germany producing classics in a near perfect label discography from Merzbow, Macronympha, Militia, Aube, Taint, and more. In tribute to the late Kevin Ogg who was an early and influential member of Black Leather Jesus, Memorial stands as one of "the ones" that put Mr. Ramirez on the map wi…
Akh
Big tip! *250 copies* Reissue of Amon's seminal 1996 debut album augmented with three tracks from the same sessions. Since the mid '90s Andrea Marutti has been crafting his own blend of mind-expanding soundscapes, creating a strong sense of ancient mysticism and time travel with his Amon project. His mesmerizing recordings of drones and tones, presented as a careful form of resonant minimalism pregnant with cavernous sounds and slow movements, reverberations and drifting elements, have always be…

Ever unpredictable, Kevin Drumm this time takes the fellow time-traveller through what sounds like an electronic field recording, a journey through an electronic soundscape of luminescent textures that invites immersive listening.
