Gaute Granli + Contumace
Each year, cave12 publishes a recording from its sound archives. This album brings together two artists whose concerts took place a few months apart. This edition has chosen to juxtapose their performances which strangely respond to each other putting them into perspective as if by a mirroring effect activated by our memory.

Negative Fascination

Ghosts Of Chechnya
What the artist may consider the most formative years for the project and what clubbers may have heard in numerous live sets with the ‘encryption nets’ classic dub track. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is widescreen esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our collapsing world. Fully remastered version and the first time on stand alone LP!
Jordanian Descent
A cult was built around these this truly ominous original tape with slowed down mega-apocalyptic drone drum contemplations. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is long form esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our accelerating global amnesia. Fully remastered version.
Atta's Apartment Slated For Demolition
Atta’s Apartment Slated for Demolition finds Dominick Fernow’s Vatican Shadow project at a crossroads. Originally released in 2012, the album still has the blank-eyed, cold, hypnotic minimalism of his earliest albums that made Vatican Shadow one of the most unlikely breakout artists of the noise underground in the early 2010s. It’s got the cryptic yet provocative title, in this case alluding to Mohamed Atta, the ringleader behind the 9/11 hijackings. It’s got the paranoid forever-war album art a…
Luxor Necropolitics
"The world is already fallen and the temples are all new again."
Impermanence Of Being

Parking
*150 copies limited edition* Parking features two works recorded 14 years apart registering the behaviour and characteristics of environmental and instrumental sound resounding within multiple parking garages. The architectural form and function underpinning the parking garage demands a highly adaptive response to negotiate indeterminate conditions and hidden tensions generated by compressed space, reflective materiality, multipurpose infrastructure, and active thoroughfares. Rather than conside…

Unknown City
*300 copies limited release* Creeping through an imaginary border, sidesteppin’ through the night like cyber phantoms eavesdropping on early morning machinery shifts, an industrial solstice for pagan mystics. After five years Torino’s mysterious SabaSaba are back with ‘Unknown City’ an imaginary soundtrack for a dystopian city: digital raga, horror Exotica, half-speed techno, metallic dub and organic electronics. The duo of Andrea Marini (synth, guitar, electronics, tapes) and Gabriele Maggiorot…
Oxidation

Remastered for vinyl for ultra caustic stimulating misery going back to a time in new york that could only be described as ‘unsub’.
Turzets
The latest in a prolific string of solo and collaborative releases by James Rushford, Turzets collects a pair of new works primarily created and recorded last year while the Australian composer-performer was in residence at La Becque, an art center on Lake Geneva in Switzerland. The side-length piece “Fallaway Whisk” explores hesitation in its many forms—reticence of speech, sonic restraint—using live, abstracted translations of text from English to German against a lush and swelling soundscape.…
The Gerogerigegege (1985 Version) / Interested In Action
The Gerogerigegege is a project I've dreamed of working with since hearing Hotel Ultra early on in my path of discovering all that noise has to offer. Here they offer up a noisy guitar and drum recording from 1985
Black Leather Jesus was also a project I dreamed of working with back then as well, and we kinda know what happened there. This is a more modern recording, of course. Harsh feedback, heavy crunch, and filthy, pervy fucking samples.
I love how this one turned out.
The White Arcades
*2024 stock* A classic Harold Budd album originally released in 1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins studio with production help from Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, 'The White Arcades' effortless blend of glistening synths, limpid piano notes, foggy textures and space result in a beautiful contemplative whole.
“Although its aura is ethereal and unworldly, Budd's music is actually an exemplary form of humanly useful music. When the mundane urgencies of life, or the nonsense of our political c…
