Compilation of two scarcely-heard tapes self-published during the late 1980s / 90s by late Pennsylvania-based mail artist Mark Moreland. Hermetic cut-ups of private audio letters, radio frequency band shifting, and crude environmental sound assemblages. Gen Ken: "How to write about Mark is tough. I agree he didn't think of himself as an artist and rarely made anything like traditional art in his later years. He had some paintings he made for himself in his room and I am fortunate that he gave me…
Stripped-back harsh noise / death industrial from Finland’s underground. Lo-fi production recalls best of 90s noise, fans of Slaughter Productions take note…
Originally released in 1992 and our second C’33’ reissue following last year’s Metallurgi. Alumina Wrap deals also in surreal post-punk compositions but with more of a tribal ambient / progressive electronic leaning. Side B’s “Ten Year Mix” is particularly of note.
"The weave of events rises and falls creating an undulating flow like a living river of aural dramas."

This is a cassette released by American noise artist Dead Door Unit from the country's experimental/noise label Tribe Tapes in April 2024. Contains two 2-minute Lo-Fi junk harsh noise songs using field recordings and tapes.
A sound lover's feast. The reincarnation of the individual sounds would be enough but the scalpel is applied in broader strokes.
Reissue of Randy Greif’s second cassette, released in 1984 on Swinging Axe Productions. Two side-long, extended pieces — industrial collage and ritual ambient with a strong classical influence. Hidden music. An infernal predecessor to Golden Joy Club.
Reissue of Argiope’s debut cassette, released by Slaughter Productions in 1994 following a small run on the artist’s own Atom Institute label. Argiope project was born after Marco Corbelli proposed that Federico De Caroli / Deca record a release for Slaughter.
While Deca’s albums were still quite industrial, dark music, he felt that Marco deserved a much more extreme production than anything Deca recorded up to that point. The result was Argiope's debut release Death Ovary Traces, a work of depr…
Philadelphia-based K. Geiger is active under the guises of Dead Door Unit, Master Grave Services, and his imprint French Market Press producing ultra-limited noise tapes (often 7 copies or less) in unusual packaging that echoes labels like Sound Probe or SFCR. "Abandon" brings with it a refinement in style differentiating itself from early cassettes like "Laugh At The Devil". While I once described that release as reminiscent of an embryonic Prurient, this debut disc is both an evolution and a p…
Tip! *2024 reprint* Dead Door Unit is the alias of Northeastern US artist Ken Geiger. The project follows in an exploratory vein of tape-recorded junk noise and field recordings. "Laugh At The Devil" is a work raucously out-of-time, bringing to mind the murk of mid-aughts Hanson releases or even the obscure malice of Dom Fernow's earlier work. Geiger breeds a fresh perspective through destruction and reassembly; "desperation."
Previously released by Slaughter Productions in 1996. Argiope was the temporary nom de plume of Federico de Caroli — perhaps better known as Deca. This project specialized in concrete music with an emphasis on low-tech, industrial / ambient compositions.
Following well-received releases on labels such as Satatuhatta, Krim Kram, and White Centipede Noise, Cyess Afxzs debuts a new series based on the novels of Philip K. Dick. It is tempting to describe this work as post-noise. But such verbiage is reductive at best.
*200 copies limited edition* All tracks previously unreleased from projects currently active in the United States. Featuring Pain Appendix, Dead Door Unit, Confounder, Ineffable Slime, Gates Of Janus, Max Julian Eastman, Lidless Eye, Infibulation, Mallard Theory, Hand & Knee, Spykes, and Cost.

Gaining prominence during the 1980s home recording movement, Randy Greif has built a devoted following over the years for his unorthodox compositional style. On his early tapes, industrial and dark ambient textures are melded with cinematic song structure more akin to the most wildly experimental of post-punk acts. “Golden Joy Club”, first released as a cassette in 1986, is a well-known highlight of this era. Transferred from its original master tape and newly restored for CD by Grant Richardson…
Tip! "What’s the Deal? The Dodge Jones Rage power trio was started in late 2021 as a distributed pandemic-driven experimental-noise-audio collaboration by three long-time grizzled sonic veterans. After sharing some initial recordings with each other, suddenly things started moving quickly, and it was clear that this was destined to be, as they say, A Thing.
