Shitsurai / 室礼
* White Vinyl * Meitei / 冥丁 is the moniker of Japanese producer, composer, and musician Daisuke Fujita. The project stemmed from a preoccupation with the customs and rituals of his country’s past, and a desire to cast light on an era and aesthetic that he noted was drifting out of the collective Japanese consciousness with each passing generation, what he calls “the lost Japanese mood”. First came “Kwaidan”, a study into the lost art of Japanese ghost story-telling, followed by “Komachi”, an att…

Today – 1996 – the same percussionist titles his latest recording “orthodox approach”. The change from “unorthodox” to “orthodox” is not …

Contact High With The Godz
2025 stock Coming from the same Lower East Side scene that had already delivered the Fugs to ESP-Disk’, when the Godz went into the studio in 1966, there was no precedent for what they did. The first albums of the Velvet Underground and the Stooges lay in the future. The title Contact High with the Godz might suggest psychedelia, but even that freewheeling style, still yet to blossom, would come nowhere near the freedom and sheer avant-gardeness of the Godz' first LP. They were not afraid to sou…

2025 stock Released in 2015, this is arguably Dan Melchior's stand alone release in a massively impressive catalog.

Recorded at a pivotal time in the his life, one can detect the influences varying from his wife, Letha Rodman-Melchior to Pale Cocoon, Martin Davorin Jagodić' & Pôle running through this l…
Handbook For Mortals
2025 stock Thought these were long gone, but hey, not so fast! Originally released in 2013, this was Letha's 1st foray into the vinyl game AND her 1st under her own name (as opposed to Tretetam, which she'd been using since 2008). 'Handbook' is a lovely sound pastiche of everyday day life turned inside out. Both ambient & disturbing, her sound distillations are wondrous & hypnotic respites in this suffocating modernity.

Zaius Tapes is proud to announce the repress of Jim Shepard's dark, cathartic masterpiece, 'Picking Through The Wreckage with A Stick' lp.

'Wreckage bears little to no resemblance to Shepard's proto metal-prog rock band, Vertical Slit. If anything it follows the trajectory of his debut lp, 'Slit And Pre Slit'. Both alb…
