*100 copies limited edition* "2020 has been a year of things coming to a head. The combined pressure cooker of modern technology, politics, pandemics, populations, as well as artistic statements and abilities have all reached breaking points that have also led to the utmost supreme shifts into truly unknown territories. It's almost ominous that the incredible sole track here, Child Of YHWH, would be recorded during the winter solstice of 2019, primed and set to lead us straight into the wild unk…
If you saw Pillars and Tongues perform anytime during 2008 - 2010, the set you heard was likely comprised of two long songs. They are called “Great / Most Secret” and “The Miracle.”
**2022 Repress ** Stripped down to the core duo of Robert Görl and Gabi Delgado and with Conny Plank again behind the boards with crisp, focused production, with Alles Ist Gut (Everything Is Fine) DAF turned into an honest-to-goodness German hit machine, as detailed in the 1998 Mute reissue's liner notes by Biba Kopf. Even more important and impressive was how they did it -- keeping the electronic brutality that characterized them, but stripped down to nothing but Görl's massive drumming, elect…
Ana Fosca has emerged as presence to be reckoned with. Here stands a woman raging, wrestling, communing, and plainly preoccupied with the humanity's propensity for tragedy, violence, and blight. And it is with a particular strain of noise - one that is dour, miserable, frightening - through which she harnesses these conditions. While her catalogue of recordings is brief, Ana Fosca (born Linn Hvid) honed her craft by performing on a constant basis throughout Denmark, Sweden and Germany, especiall…
Following the red thread of history that wove its way through the 20th century, Junta Cadre previously targeted the development and overtake of Communism throughout China and South-East Asia. Now, the iron-sights are set on the era of the red scare and Cold War - “The Enemy is Listening” draws heavily from personal research and reading, aiming to document the years of paranoia, intimidation, and political terror of Soviet Communism, and its tense relationship with the United States. Recorded dir…
*2022 stock* This fantastic musical journey, written by French composer David Fenech back in the year 2000, is entirely produced on 4-track cassette. Its title refers to the French word for "roller coaster" and "looping", as well as to the symbol of infinity. "Grand Huit" ("Big Eight") is a rare example of "cinema pour l'oreille" made of songs. The music already bears the strong handwriting of its creator: a unique mix of field recordings, outlandish singing (mostly in fantasy language) and exp…

“Magnetic Debris” is a collection of audio works mainly based on the editing of old archived tape loops and "found" magnetic sounds. This material as main reference was subjected to multi-channel treatments, re assembled and mixed along with audio generators, and various electronic devices. These processed debris explores drone territories as a concrete atmospheric soundtrack full of tension with a sense of mystery and a melancholic beauty.Recorded and assembled in 2018, this double album has be…
Swedish experimental outfit White Stains created five highly influential albums. Band members Carl Abrahamsson and Thomas Tibert later on went on to form the equally influential act Cotton Ferox. Their improvisational approach and dark musical atmospheres created a following which remains to this day, and which even led to a one-off reunion gig in Gothenburg in 2013 together with long time collaborator Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV). The album Exploratorium is a compilation of…
"Joulupukki is a stunning electronic artwork by Xambuca, which is the moniker for American multimedia artist Chandra Shukla. Inspired by northern indigenous peoples, Xambuca is in the process of creating a trilogy dedicated to and stimulated by these unique cultures and geographies. The 2014 release Kamuy (Erototox) was inspired by the Ainu people of northern Japan, Sakhalin Island, and the Kuril Islands in the northern Pacific. Joulupukkiis about the Saami people living at the top of the Fenno-…
The story is that Vigroux spent most of the time on his tour constructing what would subsequently evolve into Barricades. Working indefatigably on new tracks in the morning and performing them live in the evening - that is basically how this excellent work was assembled. Recording everything in stereo, using only two tracks, Vigroux aimed to incorporate “the rawness of a ‘live’ recording”. Consequently, the sound here became unmistakably pure and expressive, somewhat reminiscent of artists such …
Schneider TM & Jochen Arbeit of Einstürzende Neubauten release an album of ‘urban cosmic freeform music’ on the US label Erototox Decodings in cooperation with MWM featuring musical contributions by Julia Kent (cello), Lucio Capece (bass clarinet) & Claas Großzeit (cymbal). The album, which almost became a lost treasure, was already recorded in winter 2011/12 and stretches out it’s harmonic dissonances between heavy drones, strange noises, industrial-like metal percussion, feedback-ish flutes, …
A physical release for ‘Matériaux’, the 2020 EP from French multimedia artist Franck Vigroux. Somewhere between a mini-album and a long EP, Vigroux expresses a range of different moods but in the same simple, musique concrète-influenced manner, driven by texture and harmony at the expense of melody.
Over the years when listening to the diverse catalog of Altar Of Flies, the primate in me has on numerous occasions tripped across a selfish thought: it would be sick as fuck if AOF did a release that was, like, straight harsh noise. Nearly all of his releases are laced with masterful passages of blown out crunch, but always as a counterpoint to more delicate and introspective narrative sound. In 2020 as we worked on the Work Ethics CD together, I toyed with the idea of making such a suggestion,…
Six international artists showcased across two compact discs of shredding sound, clattering depths, power electronics violence, and deafening discordance. Though a diverse compilation, Lacerations plays out like a cohesive extended nightmare. Twenty minutes each of essential material from Bacillus, Richard Ramirez, Rusalka, Interracial Sex, Vms Elit, and Cost. Mastered by Grant Richardson at extreme volume. Play loud.
*500 copies limited edition* Since the late 1970s, Nigel Ayers (b. 1957, UK) has cut a bracing, subversive path through the contemporary underground, bridging DIY industrial enthusiasms with multimedia experimentation to form a singular body of work. Co-founder of the groups The Pump and Nocturnal Emissions (along with brother Daniel Ayers and then-partner Caroline Kaye), Ayers has been a contributor to and proponent of industrial music’s high-water marks, his Sterile Records imprint disseminati…
The power trio Mirande/English/Skinner has dug out a strangely lit tunnel between the dustier nooks and crannies of the rich and varied 1980’s industrial scene and the just as elusively defined experimental field of today where they themselves reside. While it certainly reeks S*Core, Illusion Of Safety and whathaveyou, their very own fingerprints are all over the place, freshening things up. An out-of-time album we are very pleased to offer!
Accident In Heaven was originally released in 1987 as a hand-made micro-edition of about 40 cassette tapes. It was only the third ever release on the short-lived now near legendary SDV label which had been established that same year by Konrad Kraft, Bernd Sevens and Dino Oon in Düsseldorf.Finally finding a more substantial and appreciative audience on vinyl over 30 years after its original limited release, Accident In Heaven is a strong testament to the explorative experiments of Detlef Funder a…
*Reissue of the 1983 album, originally released on Some Bizzare and Rough Trade* "Einstürzende Neubauten's second album marks a radical progression in the band's sound as well as a revolutionary step forward in the realms of industrial and experimental music.
Bassist Marc Chung (ex-Abwärts) and electronics engineer Alexander Hacke (later a member of Crime And The City Solution) joined the band during this time, and singer Blixa Bargeld also became a full-time member of Nick Cave And The Bad See…
