CD box
Abe at his best! Crudely generalising a contrast in free jazz tendencies between AMM/SME/MIC/FMP and AACM/ESP, it's hard to say if Abe's closer to the gentle, bearded intellectualism of some European improvisation, or to the gutsier funk of more US freedom fighters. Up there with the best of both Western sides of the sea, but unlike any one from either, his stroppy, razor-sharpening alto style mixes tousled emotionalism with dogged puzzling, like an amalgam of Anthony Braxton and a sadder, angri…
Merzphysics
This 10xCD box set composed of previously unreleased recordings from 1993–95, it focuses on pure noise from before the introduction of synthesizers and other electronic instruments. The noise is described as being linked to grindcore, having a sense of speed, and was recorded live to cassette. Merzphysics can be considered to be a sequel to Merzbient, which also features unreleased vintage cassette recordings.As with some of the tracks on Merzbient, the titles are taken from cassette brands: AX…
Vague Maze
Pain Jerk and John Wiese are two titans of noise. Their collaborations are not a new. This is the stunning prologue, the first one, dated 2005. 7 minutes of synthesizers, electronics, noise. This is what a 7inch must be. Fast, violent, harsh. Play it at 45rpm as loud as possible you can. You know you need it. Artwork by John Wiese. Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies, one time presssing
Condensed Death
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.
Gert-Jan Prins
A new EP featuring unreleased recordings from this Dutch electronic master. For over twenty years Prins has explored the spatial, textural and compositional possibilities of electronic systems with his custom circutry; both through sound and his arts practice. Reconsidering the technologies of club culture he has defined his own very radical approach to music; having also collaborated with the likes of Christian Fennesz, Lee Ranaldo, Carlos Giffoni as well as being an integral member of MIMEO.Th…
Compound
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.
United (the 7\" Singles)
"United" collects the 4 long out of print and rare Throbbing Gristle 7"s issued between 1979-1980, plus a version of "United" by Marc Almond as bonus, originally found on a 1984 flexi-disc. Only a few copies available.
Commiseration/Blood Temperature Pool
Primitive guitar riffin', synth's drone and effects. Raw beauty and energy in it's primal.
Het Potatis
This meeting of noise monsters Lasse Marhaug and Tommi Keränen is heavy, intense, truly ear-shattering noise bliss, and brutal as always. Pure harsh noise

Atrocity exhibition
Here's an unmissable and collectable 150 copies limited edition CD album, released to celebrate our fifth year of activities and available only as a free "bonus" included in the "bag" that contains the latest 13 Silentes releases. Born from an idea by Stefano Gentile, who also actively participated to the making of the album, the Maribor project brings together for the first time in a collaborative CD some of the most remarkable names of the Italian experimental and avantagarde scene: Maurizio B…
Valediction
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…
Nico and the Vascellaris
The already classic performance by artist Nico Vascellari and of one of the most unconventional bands ever. In a special edition release with the original studio recordings, and an Artist special vinyl engraving. By public demand. The second on a series of Artist editions. Edition of 100 copies. Order fast!!!
Kvalt
Amplified metal, electronics and tapes from Denmark. Alleypisser takes inspirations from italian industrial gods like M.B. and Mauthausen Orchestra and his phenomenal use of tapes and metal ensures that Alleypisser is one of the best industrial act in Europe.. The result for Kvalt is a 7" and a c38 for something like 50 minutes of music. All package in a reel to reel box with insert.
Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their …
Gene-P
'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.On the first track (both tracks are untitled) Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its music with not many changes, music that is not loud and actually quite pleasing.The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl, scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping all over the place. Its a bit much experiment for the sake of experiment for me here. A mo…
Gesamtkunstwerk - Dokument 81-86
Incredible release!! This ultra-deluxe leather-bound box set comes in a cross-like holder for the five Vinyl discs and also includes a DVD with two outstanding live-performances from 1982 and 1984 plus a large poster,10 postcards, a metal enamel-badge as well as an extensive 36-page booklet illustrated with archive photos of Laibach's hometown Trbovlje.The Box focusses on Laibach's early years as a provocative performance-music-and-multimedia-group and includes early studio and unreleased…
Sissy Spacek
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…
To Noisetherion
Obscure artist from Italy, harsh noise with not so dynamic structures, junk abuse, no space for field recordings or concrete parts. A brutal assault, perfect mix between early Bastard Noise era and 90s Japanese scene.
Die Arbeiter von Wien
'The third part in Jupitter-Larsen's series of old trade union / battle songs follows Internationale (Banned Production 2010) and Solidarity CD (Banned Production 2010). Written by the Viennese lyricist and essayist Fritz Brügel, presumably in the late 1920s, this piece deals with the events during the so-called July Revolt in the capital of Austria on July 15, 1927, caused by a court verdict which acquitted three members of the right-wing Frontkmpfervereinigung Deutsch-Österreichs (the sa…
