Challenge
2026 stock “Challenge” was released in 1981 on Bootleg, a record label born inside a record store in Pavia with the same name. “Challenge” keeps the original and uncompromising punk attitude alive. 3 groups: No Suicide (from the Udine province), Mercenary God (from Gemona), No Submission (from Treviso), all sick children of the industrious, rich and Christian Democratic north-eastern part of Italy.
De Lusioni
2026 stock Formed in Rome in 1984, this is a newly mastered release of ARPIA's first demo tape from 1987. “De Lusioni” is comprised of 7 songs -clocking at 71 minutes- which the band has described at an "experimental demo but of rich forms and ideas later developed in a more organic way." The massive reverb on the vocals and guitar on the opening track, "1783," immediately reminds one of Paul Chain. Some songs find the band dropping into the experimental/theatrical realm with vocals that sound…
Terminal
2026 stock “Terminal” by The Windbreakers is a sharply crafted collection of jangly guitar pop that balances tuneful immediacy with a rough, emotional edge. Built around bright, chiming guitars and insistent rhythms, the album channels the energy of mid‑’80s college rock while keeping the songwriting lean and direct. Tracks like “Off and ON,” “Changeless,” and “That Stupid Idea” showcase a knack for hook-laden melodies that stick after the first listen, yet the arrangements never feel polished t…
Run
2026 stock "Run" is the sophomore album by The Windbreakers, a jangle pop duo from Jackson, Mississippi. Released in 1986 on Twin/Tone Records, it showcases their signature blend of melodic Southern pop hooks and raw emotional depth. Hailed as a power pop gem, "Run" earned cult status for its infectious energy and DIY spirit. It remains a standout in the 1980s indie scene, influencing jangle and alternative acts.

Drone Islands - Borealis
While the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, is largely celebrated as a breathtaking natural wonder, it also has a more eerie, unexplained, and sinister side that has perplexed and unsettled observers for centuries. The strange, flickering lights have long been steeped in mystique, inspiring tales of supernatural forces, spirits, and even foreboding omens. In the quiet of the Arctic night, where the lights can seem to pulse with an almost otherworldly energy, it’s easy to understand why ancien…
The Great Filter
Eighth Tower Records unveils Nihil Impvlse’s The Great Filter, the third release by the industrial project on the label. A dark post-industrial exploration of humanity’s collision course with its own tools, the album reframes the titular cosmic theory as a metaphor for our self-engineered existential sieve where accelerationism’s fervent dogma and apocalyptic fatalism fuse into a nihilistic liturgy. Through seven corrosive movements, Nihil Impvlse conjures the dissonance of a species intoxicated…
No Future
*100 copies limited edition* “No Future” wasn’t the first work I listened to by Runes Order (known until shortly before as Order 1968), but it was certainly the one that most deeply disturbed my mind. It appeared as a cassette release, limited to 30 copies (the charm of bygone times…), in September 1993: a work that, as I mentioned, puzzled even the most devoted followers of the Genoese project. A project that, until then, had trodden the path of ritual industrial music, with a keen eye on our a…
Holosphere
*100 copies limited edition* “Holosphere” is a space within a space, an extra-reality. This condition exists beyond time. Its effect on the body and mind can trigger a shift in consciousness and alter the perception of reality. All tracks were previously released by Unexplained Sounds Group and Eighth Tower Records between 2023 and 2025, except for “Add Lakes,” which is previously unreleased.

Recorded live in 1998 at the Dre Ar Wenojenn festival, this album presents the duo weaving together original compositions and traditional melodies into a tapestry of free folk, modal improvisation, and ambient soundscapes.
Noguès, deeply rooted in Breton music y…
Dies Irae
**Limited Edition of 60 numbered copies ** Paul Chain’s 1994 experimental album. "There are sections of familiar guitarplay included as well as the standard hammond organ, but still all metal/rock fans should be warned that this is mostly an electronica/industrial release. The mood of the album varies between lamentation and insane anxiety. In particular, ‘Prescence Of The Soul’s Forest’ is utterly disturbed and the vocals of Sandra Silver is what makes the most impact. There are no lyrics at al…

The setlist likely draws from their 1991–1994 repert…

Une Bien Curieuse Planète
From 1960 to the present day, from Georges Arvanitas to Laetitia Shériff, or from Manu Dibango to "Mama" Béa Tékielski, everyone has wanted to include François Jeanneau in their team at some point. This, his first album under his own name, was recorded for Jef Gilson’s Palm label in 1975, a few months after ‘’Watch Devil Go’’ by Thollot, with more or less the same cast: Jeanneau on saxophone, Jenny-Clark on double bass and percussion, Lubat replaces Thollot on drums and Michel Grailler is added …
