Double Cut
*2023 stock* The second of two collaborations involving Moebius and Gerd Beerbohm, Double Cut sounds miles away from the relatively harmless electronic/pop experiments of solo work by Moebius or Cluster. Consisting of only four extended tracks, the album expresses the dark side of electronics courtesy of the repetitive trance-state on "Hydrogen" and "Minimotion." Double Cut is much closer to electronic inheritors in the experimental and techno fields than Moebius' usual new age pursuits.
Oto no Hajimari wo Motomete vol.10
Recent issue of archve series of NHK electronic music studio. This issue consists of 5 works in 70s – 80s of new generation composers.
1. Jo Kondo “Tokyo Bay” (1987) This piece is a rearrangement of an instrumental piece into electronic music. The original piece was called "Non Projection," a piece for two pianos and orchestra. At that time, we were already in the age of PCs, though PCs were able to create beautiful sounds in the usual sense, Electronic music can only be heard on tape. In this c…

80s Underground Cassette Culture: Volume 2
Glasgow’s Contort Yourself trawl the scuzzier echelons of ‘80s tape culture for the tangiest traces of coldwave, post-punk, post-industrial with an uncanny appreciation of the way the 1980s and 2022 share so much in common.
Delivered to a backdrop of a UK in terminal decline, dominated by ghoulish Tory gas lighters and sex pests, but just about keeping its head above water, ‘’80s Underground Cassette Culture’ offers an ideal soundtrack to disenchantment coloured in morose monochrome and a loomin…
Etudes De Rien
* Edition of 200 copies, black vinyl * The New Blockaders are unique in the history of music and art. What, in our opinion, stands supreme in TNB’s 40-year existence is a passionate execution of their anarchistic and unconventional stance. In a biographical reference, TNB are often cited as pioneers of Noise music but for TNB themselves Noise music is not just an assault on tonality but a complex language of communication. From Luigi Russolo's 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto to TNB’s T.I.C. manifest…
T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette
"A pivotal, early release of electronic new wave, this single oddly gained more notoriety for its B-side, "Warm Leatherette." Amidst jolting zaps, pops, and blipping skips, Daniel Miller robotically intones about the pleasures of car crash as foreplay: "A tear of petrol is in your eye/The hand brake penetrates your thigh/Quick -- let's make love/Before you die." The track sounds like a darkly cartoonish version of a malfunctioning dot matrix printer: clinically pristine, minimal, and sinister. A…
Elemental 7
"Elemental 7 has cast a looming shadow of influence over almost all electronic music since it was made. Elemental 7 is the soundtrack to the film of the same name (on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision video imprint) that saw the duo working once more with John Lacey – Lacey had previously worked with Cosey in COUM Transmissions and introduced Chris Carter to the collective. The album’s highlight and one of their best loved songs, ‘Dancing Ghosts’, sounds as fresh and relevant today as it must have…

Ontmoeting
* 400 copies on black vinyl. Comes with a download card * Ontmoeting (Encounter) from 1982 marks the beginning of the published audio works of Enno Velthuys.

Pelle di Luna
Franco Esse is the moniker of Francesco Semproni, who in the late 60s began working as a music and recording assistant in major recording studios in Rome, Italy. He started out at Dirmaphone (then located in Via Pola) under sound engineer Gianni Fornari, before following him to the Emmequattro studios in Viale Mazzini, which at the time were the headquarters of Edipan, the record label founded by composer and conductor Bruno Nicolai after parting ways with friend and fellow composer Ennio Morric…
