1st Annual Report
Industrial music pioneers and chaotic art terrorists Throbbing Gristle came together in 1975 in Kington Upon Hull, a formerly industrial city then in the midst of a long spiral of decline. Very Friendly, aka The First Annual Report is the legendary ‘lost’ album the quartet recorded in 1975 as the group morphed out of its COUM Transmission beginnings, the shocking title track an epic confrontational dirge recounting the brutal Moors murders of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley; elsewhere there are minim…

Down But Defiant Yet/Acceptance Is Not Respect
Fourth Dimension collects a couple of immense, previously CD-only albums into one neat package from Ramleh/Broken Flag's Gary Mundy, operating under his Kleistwahr handle. 'Down But Defiant Yet' and 'Acceptance is Not Respect' were originally released in 2017 and 2018 and were created with a more spiritual intent than previous works.

Mysterious Kitchens
A special delicacy for all you Severed Heads fans: In th 1980s the cassette was a much desired format. They were cheap, inexpensive to buy, easy to duplicate and manageable for less technically skilled people, too. The sound was raw and hissy, encouraging raw and hissy ideas. If you couldn't afford to have a vinyl LP pressed, you could still get heard. It was the most DIY product ever. Terse Tapes was one the first cassette labels in Australia ever, although the label started with two vinyl rele…
