Nero (Nylons on Canvas)
*In process of stocking* I've been waiting to do this one for awhile, after discovering the project through cult Swedish label Ominous Recordings. Anonymous Masturbaudioum has been making "perverse electronics" since 2010, always guided by an obsessive nylon fetish first and foremost, but also (on this release specifically) drawing inspiration from the work of painter Alberto Burri. The result is two heavy pieces of (almost) unchanging walls with excellent low end tone and crunching texture...a …
Torso of a Centaur
*In process of stocking* Roman Marble is an exciting under the radar project from Japan, who I first discovered after their submission to the "Hidden Promulgation" compilation awhile back (and that track actually ended up being one of my favorites on there). I have been eagerly anticipating this full length release ever since, and it does not disappoint.
Past efforts were more HNW based (and equally good) but this one is a departure from the confines of that style in favor of a more free and exp…

Tip! *In process of stocking* This is the first ever split tape release on AAD. I used to dislike split releases but I have learned to appreciate them with the right pairing, and that is definitely the case with this one, since both projects are from Norway and are frequent collaborative partners already...this tape finds them working separately but also together, each creating half of what is "No Vacancy!" as a whole. Side A is a "Harsh Jazz" assault from the Scandinavian duo Maranata, a two ma…

*In process of stocking* "Piercing is my tape noise project and MOT is Paul van Trigt's. Paul is also a visual artist and colleague who has been responsible for making many AAD releases look good. We are a dream team and it was only a matter of time before we did something together showcasing our solo sound work.
Piercing's track is loosely based on traditional Egyptian funerary rituals..."Forbidden Wailing" is a reference to Egyptian women verbally expressing their grief and sadness during mour…

** In Process of Stocking. Limited edition of 50 copies ** New tape release on Laboratorio Palestro. Composed and arranged by Nicola Pecoraro in Rome.
Kãrtëhl
Due to COVID-19, the French avant-garde band Magma was unable to perform live, so they decided to dive into the studio to create new material. This resulted in a brand new album titled Kãrtëhl, a collective album such as they have not made in a long time. The band reformed in 2020 and added new musicians to the lineup, which created opportunities for new innovative compositions. After the rather dark 2019 Zëss, this new work Kãrtëhl features bright and resolutely optimistic collective new work, …
Veiled Sisters
It's by some strange inversion that since his untimely death in 1999 Bryn Jones' Muslimgauze project has become evermore enigmatic as his publicly available recordings have become evermore vast. The Mancunian artist's sudden passing at the age of 37 prematurely resolved a body of work that remains as experimental as it is diffuse, with an informal archive that was left spread between favoured labels and confidantes. And though this monadic project never abided by genre specifications, it all fee…
The Crackdown
2022 Re-press on limited edition Curacao colour vinyl * Stone cold classic Cabaret Voltaire from 1983, resplendent in a new master, and framing the band getting electro-funky after the departure of Chris Watson - a huge influence on everyone from Ministry and NIN to Mark Fell and even early Goa types ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music. As th…
Micro-Phonies
* 2022 Re-press on limited edition Curacao colour vinyl * Remastered edition of the Cabs’ 1985 classic, newly cut in ’22 and coiled with template-setting sampler and machine funk that would spawn a wave of imitators. “Known for being the harder, more experimental album of their “Pop” period, ‘The Covenant, The Sword and The Arm of The Lord’ was originally released in 1985 and includes the classic ‘I Want You’. The album embodys Cabarets Voltaire’s industrial electro-funk sound and their punk et…
The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord
* 2022 Re-press on limited edition white colour vinyl * Remastered (from original tapes) reissue of The Cabs' 7th studio album, originally released in 1985. ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music. As these things (still) go, the album would really strike a nerve with US industrial audiences, effectively reframing and selling back their own funk, …

Between My Teeth
*2022 stock. Includes a 16-page booklet.* Dark psychosexual electronics lurk between the teeth of ester Kärkkäinen, the Las Vegas based artist also known as Himukalt. For the past six years, she has tirelessly pursued an avenue of bleak industrial productions that parallel the extremist works of Genocide Organ and Atrax Morgue. She has built a considerable reputation for uncompromising, full-frontal noise, releasing albums on Total Black, Malignant Records, Found Remains, and Foul Prey, amongs…
Noiseem
*2022 stock.* Following on from acclaimed recent releases on Hallow Ground and Boomkat’s Documenting Sound series, Noiseem is a major new work from Japanese sound artist/instrument inventor Yosuke Fujita, who performs under the name FUJI||||||||||TA. Where Fujita’s recent recorded output has focussed primarily on documentation of his remarkable self-built pipe organ, Noiseem is the culmination of half a decade of work with highly amplified water. The evocative and timbrally rich sound…
Tetrahymena
*2022 stock.* Detroit enigma Dopplereffekt has been resurrected, emerging from a grave of jagged detritus and technotrash for their first release since 2007. Whether in the ethereal voices and plunging bass of title track “Tetrahymena,” the unidentified flying objects droning maliciously in the thunderous weapon “Gene Silencing,” or the retch and hiss of arpeggiated bad trip “Zygote,” it’s a transportive journey of dread as only Dopplereffekt can create.
Cellular Automata
*2022 stock.* Cellular Automata is the new album from Dopplereffekt (Rudolf Klorzeiger and To-Nhan), their first in ten years since 2007’s Calabi Yau Space on Rephlex.Cellular Automata approaches mathematical growth and decay as an iterative process, with each data input considered individually relative to the overall model. The result represents one of the group’s boldest creative endeavors, defying expectations while remaining unmistakably Dopplereffekt.Cellular Automata is the third Doppleref…
Jaikiera
Ana Arsuaga sings in Basque and recovers the Basque oral tradition in her songs, taking the past to the future. Traditional folk songs and stories as modern day post-pop, with reverb soaked drum-machines and casiotone synths replacing traditional instruments. After releasing her praised and sold out debut LP album Kondaira Eder Hura last year, finally we have this two new songs available on a limited 7".

Stairway 13
Swooping, sub-heavy sci-fi from Riz Maslen. Leda Maar is a new moniker for the established artist who’s released a crop of downtempo and electronic music as Neotropic and Small Fish With Spine, as well as collaborated with the likes of Future Sound of London, filmmaker Andrew Kötting, and featured in PSP-era Grand Theft Auto soundtracks. Mana’s long lasting love of Riz’s 1996 Laundrophonic EP, released under her Neotropic name, spurred this new release. That 12” was a deep and dark web of rhythm…
Elements
*In process of stocking.* Since my piece Terrible Fake (Piano, Drums, 2013) and especially Darkroom (Clarinet, Vibraphone, Sampler, 2017), I've been trying to to integrate some grooves into classical contemporary idiom. Since those experiments were mostly for smaller setups, this time I wanted to transfer it into the larger one in order to get more possibilities to work with different textures and coloring within harmonic structures of clusters and chromatic movements of melodies. Constant trans…
Lemon Technique
Michael Eisl (Eichamt) had a long eclectic journey between various projects for theater, improvisation, sound art and sound installations, all the way to his first release on God Records. His first release presents him in his full abstract electronics mood, in his own words: "Between analog experiments and obsessive-compulsive digital reworking there is constant need for recalibration."
This is also the first Tape release on vinyl-only label, God Records from Graz, Austria and also the point whe…
