2222 and Airport
Singular Texan musician Craig Clouse hurtles unstoppably towards the 20th birthday of his dancefloor-splintering electronic project Shit And Shine, releasing a landmark LP, his first full-length for The state51 Conspiracy, ‘2222 And AIRPORT’. Acid house, minimal techno, electro, funk, krautrock, hip hop, found sound, spoken word, live percussion and industrial are blown apart stupendously and then reassembled – mad-scientist style, in a way peculiar to Clouse – into 13 hypnotic and transportativ…

Eye For An Eye
Gatefold sleeve, edition of 1000 copies , incl. download The relationship between Bryn Jones's music as Muslimgauze and the track/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the same title, accidentally or not) has always been a little mysterious. Jones himself can no longer be asked, and as you continue to investigate the swathes of material he provided, you hit sou…
Battering Rams
* Edition of 400 copies * From the viscerally punishing and nerve wrecking, to the wistfully sublime, Kevin Drumm ‘s work often yield a ferocious intensity through the timbres of minute details. Now, throughout this series of archival works dating from 2000 to 2022, his mastery is once again on full display.
On »Battering Rams«, sinister forces interlope with sanguine glimmers of respite and contemplation, while recurring drones ceaselessly crescendo to near paralysing effect, only for the album…

T.A.F.S.
After the two HDK tapes dedicated to "The Soviet Space Dog Project", we are very happy to present you another of Mr. Andy Bloyce's numerous musical identities, namely "The Ambient Fish Society" (T.A.F.S.). What is it about? Andy himself explains it to us: "When I returned to releasing music after a break of several years, there was The Soviet Space Dog Project and I didn't want to disappoint people by giving them music that was less sequencer-driven, so I needed a second release route. As we hav…
Plenilunio Di Morte
Between the '60s and the '80s the production of pulp magazines in Italy was flourishing and incredibly varied: every month hundreds of paperbacks containing strange, adventurous or more often terrifying stories came out on the newsstands.Among the most popular italian pulp magazines was the horror series "I Racconti di Dracula" (Tales of Dracula) published by Baron Cantarella: each issue of "I Racconti di Dracula" contained a grim and disturbing story, inspired by Italian gothic and giallo cinem…

Jackson-Pratt & Shredded Nerve
In this split two masters of their craft each make a sonic homage to a different painter. The sounds from both Shredded Nerve and Jackson Pratt capture varying degrees of reflected light. Jackson Pratt places us inside what feels like a painter’s studio, spacious and sun soaked with large northeast facing windows. Every sound flits in the sunlight with room to expand and contract. Stark forms emerge from a sparseness which defies titles. Seany’s compositions evoke a sense of endless variation mu…

Hearing Music
Deeply enchanting, original new age flute and electronic compositions with an elegant, classical minimalism. A total must have for fans of Maggi Payne or Iasos. Flowering from studies with at the esteemed Mills College CCM and with Robert Ashley and Terry Riley in the ‘70s, the breathtaking and little-known recordings in Hearing Music are testament to the lush, earthly beauty of Joanna Brooks’ privately issued new age tapes made between 1981 and 1985 in The Bay Area, west coast USA.

The Taste Of TG (A Beginner’s Guide To The Music Of Throbbing Gristle)
The Taste Of TG is a great entry point for anyone curious about the weird world of Throbbing Gristle, the Hull, UK four-piece who released only a handful of albums between 1977 and 1979 before splintering into equally-influential groups Psychic TV, Chris & Cosey and Coil. Their confrontational disposition and early tinkering with synthesizers, harsh noise and drum machines has attracted labels like “creators of industrial music” (likely more to do with their in-house recording imprint being call…
Journey Through A Body
Recorded as a piece of art for Italian National Radio RAI in Rome March 1981. On the recommendation of Robert Wyatt, RAI originally commissioned Cosey Fanni Tutti to create a sound work based on the theme of ‘A Journey Through The Body’. It became a Throbbing Gristle project which was later broadcast by RAI. This was the last studio recording by Throbbing Gristle. It was recorded in five days, a day per body section. No tracks were re-recorded or added to after their day. Each track was mixed im…
Tears In My Eyes (1983-1985)
Spittle Records present a compilation titled Tears In My Eyes (1983-1985) focusing on the Italian band The End. "The name was simple and maybe not so original, but very appropriate for a band active in provincial Italy of the early '80s. A band playing British post-punk inspired songs with English lyrics and a focus on man's existential crisis. Nothing to do with gothic or dark as we used to call it in Italy, in fact even if the boys (all under 20 at the time they got together in 1983) liked dre…

You Are My Everlovin'
Philosopher, musician and anti-art activist, Henry Flynt has long foregone the academicism often associated with "serious music" in favor of a uniquely intuitive, emotional approach to composition. In the 1960s and 1970s he was a part of NYC's vibrant avant-garde scene, studying with Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath and developing his own proprietary technique on violin. You Are My Everlovin', Flynt's first published musical work, finds the composer in peak form at a lower Manhattan loft in la…
