When Cold Cave embarked on their first UK tour in 2009 one of the most sought after pieces of merchandise was an exclusive split release with Prurient limited to just 100 copies on Cassette. Hospital Productions have mercifully pressed up the tracks from the tape - plus one additional cut exclusive to this LP to satisfy the vinyl vulture's appetite. In stark comparison to the glam-electro melancholy of 'Love Comes Close', this is a collection of incredible bleak and isolated dark ambience…

Absolutely mindblowing album of layered, distorted and decimated 80's synthpop meets MBV style sonic devastation - one of the albums of the year!* Occasionally artists crop up that manage to extract tangible yet ambiguous feelings of darkness while somehow pushing musical boundaries without pause for breath. Cold Cave is one of those artists. His 'Cremations' album for Dominic Fernow's Hosptial imprint is a collection of two EPs and one LP released over the last 18 months, traversing the …

"Sewer Election is Dan Johansson, based in Gothenburg, Sweden. He is most known for his extreme and nasty noise on often limited edition cassettes and obscure vinyl releases on labels such as iDEAL, Troniks, Chondritic Sound, Release the Bats!, Freak Animal, Segerhuva, Gameboy to name a few.. He is a member of the swedish collective Utmarken and lo-fi group Ättestupa. Following on from his Kassettmusik release, this new album is an evolution in field recordings and voice recorded to mono …

Inca Ore is the solo vehicle of someone who simply goes by the name Eva. "Brute Nature vs. Wild Magic" is her debut recording and is jaw-dropping. Eva hails from Northern California in the land of the cypress. These 22 minutes are pure bliss. Lying somewhere between Finnish princess Kuupuu and the snow queen herself, Fursaxa, Inca Ore's soft compositions are like an anvil hidden inside a pillow. On the surface, it seems like nothing is wrong and there's a semblance of order. But the deeper you d…

Originally released by Broken Flag in 1983, this LP reflects the more ambient & spacey side of M.B.'s work as opposed to some of the more "noisy" earlier works. Along with Armaghedon, one of his most interesting works. Hand signed copies, limited stock

'Editions Mego is proud to announce this double vinyl set. Five tracks recorded live (Valencia, Stockholm, Frankfurt, Brighton, Paris) + 'Bonus Recording', Russell  HASWELL & Toshiji Mikawa live in Japan. Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, April 2008. Follow up to the award winning 'Live Salvage 1997->2000' CD (mego 012, 2000). Hot on the heels of recent collaborative releases with Florian Hecker (as HASWELL & Hecker) on Warner Classics and Warp Records, Russell  HASWELL (b.1…

Five tracks, totalling approximately fifty minutes. Packed into the small horrible room (rip) inside the cedar house (rip) down in Lexington ky (still alive), individuals huddled in every corner, painting the room in colored cables, glossy wood and metal boxes. Deafness and disorientation was administered through the afternoon on into the night. Summoning over two hours of recorded tape, it was decided to cut the baby in half for adoption between two imprints. Heavy blossom ferried away the long…

CS Yeh: violin, electronics (side A), computer (side B). Chris Rosing: additional climax electronics (side A). Full color heavy cover, LP. Edition of 500. Released February 2002. Burning Star Core's first vinyl full-length and first widely available recording after numerous private releases that began surfacing in 1993. Massive layers of sustained sound driven thru violins and electronics direct to climax -- backed by broken organs dropped into shifting darkness and cracked computer hypn…

On the very heart of the  world, Burning Star Core (BXC) has created an incredibly heavy record, built on dense, layered drones, pulses, splintered vocals, and deep rhythms that euphorically build to total overload. With a line-up including the Hair Police front line and other luminaries from across the exploding Midwestern psych-noise-folk underground, BXC's C. Spencer Yeh has assembled a group that seamlessly shifts through epic movements and pushes pure electronic-concrete-physical-ock energy…

Limited edition of 300 copies on black vinyl with pro printed..glued glossy covers and full colour inserts. The LP features new and exclusive tracks from industrial legend Maurizio Bianchi and Cris X. Truly dark and deeply experimental "Isolated in a fully aware immobility, the dramatic intensity of this unhealthy and plain sonorous document, provides peculiar experimental characteristics connected with animated views of a post-modern technology converging into a modulated transportation of coll…

AWESOMEEEE!!!! The construction of this latest opus from C. Spencer Yeh's Burning Star Core comes from the collaging of sixty-six live recordings, captured over the course of an eleven year-period. The editing time for this monstrous undertaking was fairly substantial too, taking up two further years of on-and-off assembly. In addition to Yeh himself, the list of contributors takes in an expansive cast of notable noise and improv artists, including Hair Police's Mike Connelly, Trevor Tre…

Merzbow's 13 Japanese Birds is a 13 month series of releases inspired by Olivier Messaien's Catalogue D'Oiseaux. Beginning in January 2009 one volume of 13 Japanese Birds will be released each month. The 13th and final volume will be released January 2010. Each volume will be a one time pressing of 1000 copies.

If there's one person I revere when talking about noise it's Dominick Fernow, better known to the shadowy corners of the noise world as Prurient. There's something about his approach to the sound which for me puts him at the top of the tree, forcing music that could easily be simple, throwaway distorted jams into so much more. His last full length album proper 'Pleasure Ground' cemented this for me as Fernow buried layer upon layer of woozy synthesizer melody beneath his token screams and distor…

"As a surprise on the night, and impressed with the line-up, Douglas P of DEATH IN JUNE approached and asked if he could open the show with an acoustic set. All four acts were digitally recorded by Stephen Meixner (CONTRASTATE). For this set, each CD is packaged in its own card wallet, in its own camouflage, inside a shrinkwrapped `clamshell` style box. The set is made complete with a foldout poster of images all the bands that played this STEEL NIGHT."Limited edition four-disc box set of…

"The rhythms, hypnotic and very elaborated, are combined with mastery with lots of manipulated voices, analogical electronic sounds, and oriental (mostly Chinese) music recordings." lable press

Two dense obscure messes, from one of the most sacred and funeral masters of the new mystics. A tribal funeral ode. This is great material from Burial Hex - alot more subtle and mature than his early material. Two side-long pieces of rather melodic ambient that turns more and more industrial as the pieces progress. Sometimes the changes are abrupt, sometimes more gradual, but always with nice detail. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size insert.

The cooperative of composer/improvisers John Wiese (Sissy Spacek) and C. Spencer Yeh (Burning Star Core) presents in a terrific session recorded in August 26, 2007 at The Compound, San Francisco. The work reveals further unexpected developments and strategies of this ongoing partnership. Familiar machineries were primed, but an increasingly alien attitude was fed through and processed into churning and bewildering shapes.

RESTOCKED amazing 7": a wall of sound, predominantly on some 'obscure' and distorted machines, creating a terror noise music, originating from metal, a conceptual and extreme musical journey.

Formed in 1989 by Richard Ramirez, Black Leather Jesus has become Texas (and one of the United States) best known harsh noise groups around. Sadomasochism, gay porn, and depraved topics are themes seen in their works over the years. Best known for their work in the underground tape culture, BLJ continue with their perverse sound. The group also consists of members of T.E.F., In the Land of Archers, Respirator, and others. As usual the LP comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on black cardboard sle…

Very few copies available of this long out of print Broken Flag legendary label box from 2007, a compliation and retrospective of one of the most important and influencial british-noise-labels led by Gary Mundy of Ramleh.

The Compilation will include artists like Sutcliffe Jugend, Consumer Electronics, Un-Kommuniti, Maurizio Bianchi, Controlled Bleeding, Ramleh, Male Rape Group (Mundy/Best), Kleistwahr, TOLL, New Blockaders, Mauthausen Orchestra, Falx C…

Formed 1978 in New York, Circle X was born out of the ashes of No Fun and the I-Holes as Louisville’s first punk rock band. Once the lineup of Circle X solidified, the formerly-punk band lunged headfirst into weirder, artier territory. Whether the big city’s burgeoning No Wave scene influenced Circle X or they influenced the scene is unclear; what is clear, though, is that Circle X was the most unique, most mysterious, and most un-heralded band hailing from that place and time.In France for nine…

Introducing the debut collaborative release from sometime Nurse With Wound/Current 93 member, Andrew Liles and Jean Hervé Peron of Faust. Neither of these artists needs any introduction and all expectations are overtaken with this incredible album. Here is something that sounds like both a Krautrock album and also like nothing else you can imagine. Its twists and turns keep surprising and thrilling you several listens on from the first. The words "classic" and "masterpiece" would not be out of p…

An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between “sound”, drums spliced and severed, 18-piece “noise” orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On “Fortune,” Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six…

Just arrived, stellar release as usual! FIRST EDITION ON VINYL!!! In 1999 SISSY SPACEK made their first recordings as a more or less "conventional" blur/grindcore duo consisting of CORYDON RONNAU (vocals) and JOHN WIESE (bass and drum machine). Shortly after, the band entered a recycling period in which Wiese produced a number of albums and EPs, the first of which was this s/t CD (originally released on Helicopter), transforming their original source material into hardcore musique conc…

beatiful single, housed in a deluxe cover, ultra limited

Double LP version: Reissue of the rare LP from 1982 and additional material from various tapes of that period. Includes two long Industrial tracks in the way of Throbbing Gristle and 22 tracks of experimental minimal, comparable to early Cabaret Voltaire or Conrad Schnitzler.All composed and recorded in the early eighties by Andy Wilson, who also played with Bourbonese Qualk, released a book about german band "Faust" and nowadays plays under the name "Sunseastar" and "The Grand Erector". Limite…

f you're wondering whether record labels still matter, consider the case of Wolf Eyes. Their last two widely distributed albums, 2004's Burned Mind and 2006's Human Animal, came out on Sub Pop and got lots of media attention, even landing the band on the cover of The Wire. Three years later, Wolf Eyes return with Always Wrong, a follow-up of sorts after reams of smaller-run releases. It came out on Hospital in May, and I can't find a single review beyond a few blog entries and tweets. Even The W…

The February edition of Jazkamer's 2010 monthly CD-series. "Musica Non Grata" is a feedback-fest. Armed with guitars and analogue synths and an arsenal of amps, Hegre, Gross and Marhaug locked themselves into Duper Studios in Bergen, exploring how feedback-timbre sounds like when recorded on an analogue 24 track 2" tape-machine. The three long tracks that makes "Musica Non Grata" are slow-moving long-form meditations on feedback that will be bliss for a select few and hell for most listeners. Fe…

The January edition of Jazkamer's 2010 monthly CD-series. A trio recording of Jean-Philippe Gross, John Hegre and Lasse Marhaug. Studio live-electronics recorded to analog tape at Duper Studios in Bergen. Edited and post-produced by Gross. A dense tapestry of perfect electronic happiness. CD in digipak cover.

A reissue of an obscure tour-only recording from 2005 brings to the light the flickering dance of Mr Yeh and his dives into organic drone music. Unlike the majority of his electronic compositions, Inside The Shadow reveals three textures brought to life with violin, chimes and bells that defy most of the contemporaries' limitations to synth-only exercises. Yeh proves the heart of landscape-oriented linear composition is only limited by the imaginations of the creators and brings warmth to an oth…

Noisy but not even brutal. Digital enough to preserve the organic and crispy taste of the sound. These are two new stunning recordings from one of the most active and finest artist in the field of noise and improvised music. This is Lasse Marhaug. This is The Sky Above The Bud Below."Marhaug has an impressive range at his fingertips, veering wildly from shock-tactic maximal noise, to near-silent contemplative drones. Much of the time loud and noisy, but also playful and even quiet, wintry and re…

Doro Bengala propose a fireworks display, we use explosions as sounds and sounds as explosions of colours.We practise the art of sense stimulation through the use of coloured flames, of shrieks and low frequencies. Our group carry out a practice from Bengal founded by Mrs. Subhash Chandra Doro in the late 1895.

double LP version, ultralimited: Monoliths & Dimensions is undoubtedly a bold move for SunnO))) but the intensity and sonic adventurousness on show here are qualities that are very much in-keeping with the band's ceaselessly uncompromising music policy. Awesome.

Brooklyn, NY’s Liturgy deal in a style of black metal steeped in the genre’s most basic foundations of buzzing, dissonant guitars and whirlwind percussion, and yet they demonstrate an acute ability to make the sound firmly their own, both modern and ancient. Liturgy’s unique take on the genre only slightly recalls their NYC friends Krallice and the earlier works of the Norwegian wolves Ulver (particularly their 3rd LP masterwork Nattens Madrigal). In some sense Liturgy represents the seeping of …

Japanese special release by Captain Trip Records: a truly deluxe 5CD Box-set versioncollecting the early releases from legendary Spanish industrial unit Esplendor Geometrico.

The First all new Ramleh album since 1997, and the first new power electronics recordings from the project for 25 years. And yet Valediction is no ordinary “power electronics” record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. Valediction is very much an entity of its own – both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. Valediction is, perhaps, Ramleh’s most bleakly psych…

Huge book (656 pages) on early industrial scene, in french only. Le concept de musique industrielle forgé par le groupe Throbbing Gristle au milieu des années soixante-dix a par la suite connu de singulières évolutions avec le nombre pléthorique de formations qui se sont ralliées à cette mouvance du rock expérimental. En un très court laps de temps, on a même vu apparaître ce qu’il n’est pas exagéré d’appeler un véritable mouvement se réclamant de l’industriel, englobant des univers sonores et d…
