M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982 + A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return
Bringing page and tape into the same charged zone, this bundle pairs A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return with M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982, uniting Maurizio Bianchi’s most ascetic industrial vortex with Raffaele Pezzella’s definitive monograph. Together they form a single, immersive dossier on sound as extremity, withdrawal and unresolved return.
A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return (Monograph) (Book)
Few figures in experimental music embody rupture as completely as Maurizio Bianchi. A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return traces his arc from ferocious early industrial extremism to a radical withdrawal and enigmatic comeback, revealing an artistic ethic where creation, renunciation and re-emergence form one continuous, troubling gesture.
M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982
Recorded at a pivotal moment in his trajectory, M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982 captures Maurizio Bianchi refining sound into a stark environment rather than a composition. Static yet volatile, it strips electronics to bare impulses, anticipating isolationist ambient and dark drone while remaining rooted in the brutal materiality of early industrial experimentation.
Persistent Repetition Of Phrases
*2026 repress* 'Persistent Repetition Of Phrases' success comes from the attention it pays to the function of 'the loop', not only as a narrative ordering system in modern music, but as a means by which the brain itself recalls and interprets information; it's as old as recorded sound itself, but in this context the repetition of small shards of auditory information becomes an elegy to fading memory and the worn-out synapses of old age. The track titles offer signposts through Kirby's labyrinth …
Yura
*100 copies limited edition* Yūra (幽羅) describes a dystopian future where the last monks of humanity seek illumination through the remnants of obsolete technology. Broken circuits, residual memory, ancient intelligence and flesh are sacred instruments within a continuous rite.
Cadavres Électroniques
Sewer Election is an act which at this point requires no introduction - a mainstay of the Swedish and International noise community for decades. "Cadavres Électroniques" is a new collaboration between Sewer Election and Aziza - a hidden gem in the Gothenburg underground that emerged out of the scene around Longest Night a few years back, creating pitch black, cold and slow moving ambient music reminiscent of Maurizio Bianchi at his bleakest (read: Endometrio and such). A surreal blend of rudimen…
Exile
"Drift was a relatively short-lived project created by Gabriele Giuliani. Better known through his notorious nom de plume, Dead Body Love. Within the course of only a few short years, Drift released a dozen sought after releases on such legendary imprints as Slaughter, Old Europa Cafe, SSSM, Harmonie, and his own Less Than Zero, before fading behind the curtains Exile was not only the debut release by Drift, but also the beginning to a trilogy of cassettes released on Slaughter Productions. It …
The Beyond
"Second in the trilogy of Drift albums released on SlaughterProductions, The Beyond takes on a minimal yet darker approach, sheding the dense cavernous aspect of the preceding album, Exile. Replaced, is a more introspective Autumnal Dark Ambient style, which will become Drift's trademark on following releases. However, Gabrielle Giuliani never abandons the isolationist atmosphere he previously established. The result is a masterwork in Ambient Industrial Noise.
Winds howl, rain soaked leaves ar…
Earthquake
"On Earthquake, the third and final cassette released on Slaughter Productions, Drift takes on a slightly different angle to the previous two cassettes. Where as The Beyond and Exile were firmly planted in pitch black ambient territory, the desolation on Earthquake is Saharan. Bright, Sirocco, and sun scorched. Afterall, who said Dark Ambient needs to be cold? In a sense, the listener is transported to an abandoned archaeogical dig while faint middle eastern tones waver in and out of the surfac…

Leavings
*200 copies limited edition* Following the acclaimed previous album "Transcend", which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure Techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. "Leavings" marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognisable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conv…

*200 copies limited edition* Glacial Movements, an ambient and electronic music label founded in Rome in 2006 by Alessandro Tedeschi (Netherworld), celebrates its 20th anniversary with the release of “The Hermit,” a collection of restored archival recordings from the early 2000s.

These earliest sound experiments emerge…

Murder Ballads (Incest Songs)
Incest Songs is the final chapter of the Murder Ballads trilogy, and its most fully realized expression. Where Drift and Passages explored the post-isolationist frame through voice and single instrument, this third volume dispenses with that approach entirely, opening instead onto a more labyrinthine sonic architecture - one built from overlapping, saturating, blurring voices, all of them Martyn Bates'. The decision feels both inevitable and quietly inspired. Bates' vocalizations unfold as layer…
UMA
Malasomma returns to Stochastic Resonance with his third full-length release, completing a conceptual journey that began with the remote isolation of Jura (2018) and the linguistic deconstruction of Neolingua (2024). While his previous records functioned as warnings inspired by George Orwell’s 1984, UMA is the sound of those prophecies coming to fruition. As we step into the blinding, digital glare of the present day, we no longer inhabit a hypothetical dystopia. We no longer need to imagine a B…
Awakened To Never Sleep Again (CDr)
2001 release ** TCOB continue to create some great, minimal and intriguing music. Stripped bare, with very little going on, this is nevertheless a mighty work. ERIC KESNER, the guy behind TCOB, goes to great lengths to let people know that this is purely a guitar album with just one sample appearing on the last track. You may not think this worth mentioning, but when you hear this music you'll realise why. Mutated beyond nearly anything else you'll ever hear on this instrument, it's impossible…
