Archival Rarities 1975-1981 (Friends Edition)
These archival rarities of Boyd Rice and NON constitute a kind of lost chapter in the early history of Boyd Rice. Most hasn’t been heard in 35 or 40 years or wasn’t even remembered by the artist anymore. A few were only recently rediscovered after having gone missing for the last several decades. The lion's share of this material is being released here for the very first (and perhaps last) time ever. Find out why early critics considered NON to be the loudest, noisiest, most minimal group ever t…
Storage
First ever vinyl re-issue of this classic Merzbow album. The first two track were originally published on LP on the ZSF label in 1988. Masami Akita creates in Storage a very experimental and atmospheric album with a masterful use of scraping sounds and metal percussions but also with a very effective use of silence. A strongly hypnotic and creepy sounding early analog Merzbow album. The third track was published as an extra track for the CD reissue issued in the Merzbox is re-issued here for the…
EDWIGE
The intrinsic fandom tendency toward Eurotrash actress Edwige Fenech has possibly been one of the most encompassing examples of ‘obsession’ translating into layers of pummeling abrasive sound, especially in the building block heyday of the heavier OVMN and Incapacitants inspired style of International contemporary early 2000s harsh noise artists. Edwige Fenech– just the name sends the educated into a whirlwind of her cinematic stylizations, objectification, and glorious portrayal and generator o…
The Lilac Fairy
Pygmalion carved a beautiful woman from ivory and when he kissed his statue’s cool white lips he found that Aphrodite had turned them pink and warm with life. From ephemera, from tulle and satin, The Rita has assembled a fantasy woman; a ballerina, a fairy, a sex worker – violently she is animated into existence as a sonic monolith dense and menacing as Richard Serra’s looming steel. With the double LP set The Lilac Fairy, The Rita reaches an apex of fixation on the dancer’s body. This obsession…
Untitled
Gently unpredictable successions of concrete, electronic and instrumental sounds that chime, shudder, and wrinkle. Seven sequences salvaged from meandering recording sessions, self-collages from the remnants of forgotten ideas and intentions.Matthew P. Hopkins (Australia, 1978) is an artist based in Melbourne, working with sound, visual art, and writing. His audio work sits loosely within the realm of concrete music. Tim Coster (New Zealand, 1980) is a musician from Auckland, now living in Melbo…
Untitled
A music magma of junk-electronics, abstract tape loops and proto industrial drones. An acid mix of the early electronic experiments of Pauline Oliveros, the noisy static wall of Maurizio Bianchi and the DIY American weird touch like Nate Young and Aaron Dilloway. Michele Mazzani is one of the most "pure" representative of the Italian underground music scene. In the strangest places you can image as show locations (bivouacs lost in the mountains, crumbling houses, garbage dumps) he organizes live…

Mangraft
Few current noise artists have discovered the sonic qualities of scrap metal to the extent that Hal Hutchinson had made with his ‘’Factory of Metal Sound’’ aesthetic. Hutchinson employs a unique approach to collecting and layering his recordings of sheet metal, pipes, metal barrels, chains, and other metallic objects being shattered and pulled and crushed. A cacophony of metal scraping clatter is transformed in…
Nacht Musik

Live in Switzerland
"Exploring the nature of the way, the body is a tool, thought is a program. All the manic, quiet, extreme, abnormal have been preset by procedures and tools, noise is the carrier of breaking all the rules, only impaling nothingness will real make you get rid of the contradiction between voice and body, between body and mind." That's how Mei Zhiyong describes his work and anybody having witnessed one of his performances can only agree. Mei Zhiyong is without doubt one of today's most exciting liv…
Chaos Primaire
Unreleased first Album recorded in 1982 in the serie Archives des musiques industrielles de France. A.I.Z. stands for Atrophisme Interne Z, and it was a very obscure French industrial band connected with Die Form or Pacific 231.This music remind some electronic material of Throbbing Gristle, and it's absolutely killer!
Shed Light On The Origins
With side A and side AA “Shed light on the origins” dissolves the B side, mocking polarities. Thus, Carbon Sink & Z’EV invite us to enter in an electric climate world, crossed by AC high voltages, and by electromagnetic waves of luminous gases. A trip across the elementary particles on hypnotic rhythms, to the encounter of cyborg-birds, interferences and echoes. “Shed light on the origins” is an electroacoustic music in a “dark-tropical” style.
Orgies Of Crime
Mauthausen Orchestra remains one of the pioneering exploits from the early Italian industrial scene along with Maurizio Bianchi and the later with Atrax Morgue. Pierpaolo Zoppo started releasing tapes of his Mauthausen Orchestra project on the shocking Aquilifer Sodality label from 1982 until 1986. Zoppo didn't leave much to the imagination with the titles of these early works: ‘’Anal Perversions’’, ‘’Murderfuck’’ or ‘’Bloodyminded’’, just to name a few, carries us into real rituals of a …
London Brixton Ace
Live Industrial action from S.P.K., showing the good people of Brixton a beautifully bleak and heavy vision of existence in the year 1983. London Brixton Ace is brimming with clanking metal percussion, tortured howling and unidentified textures, with an all-pervading sense of doom. Great stuff, reissued on Therapeutic / Adverse Recordings.
Moenai Hai
"Having basically dropped off the face of the earth fifteen years ago, Juntaro Yamanouchi gives Moenai Hai a sense of enigma: some contextual food for thought, and some inconclusive ideas. The sudden, low-hype release of Moenai Hai leads one to believe that The Gerogerigegege’s creative driving force is conflicted, but dedicated, presenting something that needed to be said, but not how Yamanouchi might normally say it. It’s sorta futile to outline The Gerogerigegege’s typical modes of communicat…
