Progetto Morte
In 1995 Marco Corbelli shaped an interesting side-project, Progetto Morte, in collaboration with Walter Piano. The outcome of these twisted minds was a tape with the same title of the project recorded at Corbelli's home on June 10, 1995 and released the same year on Slaughter Productions with a booklet with the lyrics of the seven tracks, wrote by Walter Piano in Italian, and with the first Progetto Morte proclamation (translated in English too) revealing the nihilistic concept of this new alli…
The Pain Is Severe
Marco Corbelli's artistic journey began in the early 90's. Under the pseudonym of Marco Rotula, he started to release a series of fanzines in A5 format. The first was "The pleasure agony", followed by "Sick" and "Murders". The aesthetics of these first fanzines were very sophisticated and the content deals with topics that will follow Marco Corbelli throughout his artistic career: sadism, schizophrenia, insanity, murder, psychosis, necrophilia, diseases, and most importantly death. In 1993, heav…

Pornoise
An epic 1984 masterpiece from Masami at the peak of his creativity. & CD set plenty of hectic and lumbering rhythms, weird vocal warble, frantic noise, fucked up grooves, spooky synth ambience, droning chant ranging from silly to sublime, musique concrete, and echoing psych weirdness. Despite the seeming chaos, Merzbow has structured into 24remarkably cohesive individual tracks identities. Recorded and Mixed at ZSF Produkt Studio in 1984 and published in tape format in 1987 by ZSF Produkt. I…

Psychic Driving Tapes
Totally necessary vinyl edition of Aaron Dilloway's 'Psychic Driving Tapes', recorded in 2009 and originally only available (and now dead hard to find) on a 2011 cassette via his notorious Hanson Records. It's pure swill, smearing over 50 minutes of noize crud and sampledelia into the crevices of both sides so that you can finally own and become acquainted with a modern classic of its genre.
"Coruscating cut-ups yanked still dripping and yowling from the belly of the beast. Dazzling and i…
2 Hours Live - Fortune of Twelve
Jojo Hiroshige - known and feared throughout the world not only as a member of the legendary ‘‘Hijokaidan,’’ often referred as ‘‘King of Noise,’’ but also as the owner of the prestigious label “Alchemy Records,” which has released countless “Japanoise” masterpieces.
"Words are different to sounds in that the images they create are limited. They’re like a two-edged sword – sometimes they can be used effectively, but sometimes they restrict the range of the images employed. When I was young I read…
Survival Of The Laziest
The latest effort by the legendary noisers...Incapacitants (インキャパシタンツ Inkyapashitantsu) are a Japanese noise music group formed in 1981.

Unknown Rains
Utterly destructive and heart-wrenching power noise and catharsis from the don gorgon of Hospital Productions, making Prurient's first album confession since the release of the stunning Frozen Niagara Falls. Taking almost 40 minutes to spell out a litany of ills that mark up as classic, pain-saturated Prurient in contrast with the more layered, nuanced narrative and more complex production values of his last album, the set boots off with the infernal backdraft and flagellating vox of the album’s…
Feedback Overload Unit
A chokingly powerful session of elemental feedback noise from one of iDEAL’s foundational players. Arriving some 13 years after his first missive for Joachim Nordwall’s infamous label, it’s a stoically economical exercise in discipline and control, unflinchingly documenting Henrik Rylander’s improvised recordings of a no-input mixing desk undergoing a severe stress test in realtime. Big recommendation if you're into anything from Mika Vainio to Sonic Youth's feedback sessions...

Complete discography vol I
** very last copies** Everything starts when Maurizio Bianchi from Milano, with many years spent as a music journalist, realizes that writing (a very personal style both lucid and delirious) is no longer enough to describe the sounds he has in his mind. In that moment he started to deal with tape recorders, turntables, synthesizers, microphones, self-producing tapes and records under the name M.B., creating his own circuit of fans and aficionados always ready to plunge themselves into the…
1980 - 2016
M.B. - 31.04.1980 was recorded at Mectpyo Studio, Milano, in April 1980. Unreleased track. A musique concrete track made mostly using lp records played at the wrong speed and made into frantic loops. There are also the occasional and unexpected bits of dialogue! A very interesting M.B. early experiment.
Dedali - 31.04.2016 was recorded at The Shadow Factory, Lugano, in April 2016. A dense and hypnotic track. Dedali here uses treated field recordings and voice samples creating a very warm organi…
Matter and Life
Matter and Life is the first ever LP release by Youki Noseyama from Niigata, either under his own name or his previous Diesel Guitar moniker. The sheer physicality of Noseyama's performances were always next to impossible to document on any recorded format, but Noseyama has now created this work especially for his first vinyl release. Three tracks from 2015 have been carefully selected from his vast body of recordings, and can be read as a digest of the continuous drone style that Noseyama has f…
Togawa Kaidan
For the first time, art-pop goddess Jun Togawa meets on disc noise icon Jojo Hiroshige for a fantastic album, a twin-pronged sonic attack to melt your ears in disbelief. As maddening as one can expect, the music is an invitation to the worlds of both artists – a surrealistic tour de force to knock your loose socks off. Former actress Jun Togawa is an eccentric pop singer, a poisonous flower that sprouted in 1980s new wave bands like Halmens, Guernica and Yapoos. The famous “insect woman” worked …
Final expense
Gerritt Wittmer & Ryan Jencks and their blackened noise hailing from Oakland, California named Deathroes. Total Auditory destruction by these west coast veterans debut collaboration LP. Dark psychedelic drone, walls of sounds, electronic impossibility. Tectonic plates shift and rain of lava annihilates ones own soul along with everyone else’s. Enligthment and new death-born feelings combined with hallucinations so sharp and vivid that they lead to the disintegration of all senses. Salvation, ela…
