*250 copies limited edition* Soileth collects the complete recorded output of Holeist, a short-lived project featuring Dan Burke, Jeph Jerman and Eric Lunde. It stands as the final document of a brief encounter between these major figures of the American experimental underground, recorded in 1989 - a time when cassette culture, primitive sampling technology and extreme sound experimentation were colliding into something entirely new.
The material for side one was recorded during a single-day ses…
Released on Karl Kronfeld's Synoptik Records, it was the label's only release, thus becoming a rare, sought after, private pressing. Weird, intriguing atmospheres and a plethora of synthesized sounds, sequencers, cold sounding keyboards and even mellotron parts make this a darker offering than Aphorisms Insane. Venturing into stark, spooky post-industrial territories it manages to combine the primitive cosmicism of early Tangerine Dream with the dystopic sound-scapes of Asmus Tietchens, 80's Con…

*2026 stock. 104 copies limited edition* La Division Technique is a French electronics project founded and directed by Philippe Saintlos, which sounds like old-school electronics, dark soundscapes, minimalist synths, industrial ambient, with analog synthesizers, filters, strings, vocals and spatial sound recordings. A meeting in 2017 with the Rotorelief label led to the release of the album "Unexpected Works, Random Systems" from tapes-K7 of the 80s period.
A succession of two-year concerts foll…

Their one and only album, Transparent, was released on August 23rd 1983 by the now defunct Nekrophile label in Austria. The…
*300 copies limited edition* Salford Electronics abandon all art. Nine lo-fi electronic urban nightmares spiralling through Industrial decay, rain-drenched dark ambient, abrasive loops, brooding noise, and shards of scintillating electronics. The desire to communicate the disintegration of nocturnal sound. Evoking that moment in time when you have been up all night and the dawn ambience is about to break. A series of bad dreams.
These works were created over the last decade and originally self-r…
Funeral Danceparty began in 1979 in Newcastle. Their debut cassette, The Curiosity Shop (1980), was advertised in the national weekly music paper Sounds in the established DIY fashion of the era: interested parties were requested to send a blank cassette and a self-addressed envelope. Approximately 100 copies reached destinations worldwide. A national fanzine review compared the music to Cabaret Voltaire, Faust, and The Residents. Their second cassette, The Attractions of Fixed Interest, was als…
*2026 stock. 180 copies limited edition* Crematorius returns with Efterbörd, a dense and uncompromising work of death industrial, power electronics, and dark ambient released by Minneapolis-based label Phage Tapes. Originally connected to material recorded under the Crematorius name in 1987, the album marks the project’s first substantial new statement in nearly four decades.
Across nine suffocating tracks, Efterbörd drags the listener through a landscape of saturated drones, corroded electroni…
Lussuria returns with Fresco, the latest full-length from the New York project of Jim Mroz, issued on LP by Hospital Productions. A quieter and more painterly record than much of what has come before it, but no less haunted.
Active since 2007, Lussuria has quietly assembled one of the most distinctive bodies of work within the Hospital Productions orbit. Mroz came to wider attention with the American Babylon series in 2012, then a run of releases that moved between dark ambient, muted industrial…

Mannequin Records reissues "My Government Is My Soul", a searing 1989 statement from Bourbonese Qualk, one of the UK’s most defiant and politically engaged experimental acts. Originally released on the group’s own label, this LP captures the uncompromising spirit of a band deeply embedded in the resistance movements of 1980s Britain. Recorded during a turbulent period of social unrest, "My Government Is My Soul" stands as a fierce response to authoritarianism, surveillance, and the neoliberal de…
*300 copies limited edition* Sado Vision was a very obsure, S/M & fetishist industrial project from Italy. Clearly inspired by erotic transgressions they attracted the attention of admirers of the most radical and provocative industrial sound. Leded by the Milanese Luca Leuca (aka Leucon) and the unidentified Reverend K, Sado-Vision transformed the concept of studio recording, giving life to real performances in which create musical compositions. Thanks to the crazy attitude of Anjela Water, who…
*300 copies limited edition* The sounds in this double CD (already available as CD + Music Cassette in the "Atrax Morgue's - Mörder Machine" Box), are the very last recordings by Marco Corbelli and was found on a couple of reels in his studio after his death. For these recordings Marco used an old Korg MS20 synthesizer which produced a continuous background noise together with the audio signal, such noise is clearly audible in the recordings. During the editing phase this hiss was kept as an int…
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.
A meteorite and a lost EP from an experimental electronic talent escape their grim fate: remain unknown to human civilization forever. Around 2015, Gareth Smyth (aka Lumigraph) produced two tracks before uploading them on his Soundcloud page under the name “Canyon Diablo”, a tribute to a meteorite that crashed in Arizona 49,000 years ago. Amazed, the future co-founder of M+M Disques barely had time to download them onto his hard drive before they were deleted... until today.
Behind the extraterr…
Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgrand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-ind…
Neunau is an artistic project focused on sound research, started in 2015 in Valcamonica. This ancient name was found carved on a rock surface in the LOA area, an Iron Age sacred place of recent discovery. The project is carried out through an archaeological and musicological approach to the sound research. In 2017, under a commission by Comme des Garçons, Neunau produced the music track 'Concrete', also working along with Vice France on the creation of the video documentary 'Sound of Concrete', …
An infected journey through humid vine like enclosures and vicious leaf blades with a tangy serrated edge where one might observe a little too closely the multi-colored wandering spiders over oaks hanging and sucking the sharp edges of the razor, a sudden shine of reflected alumni light could perhaps enter the cornea and a dangerously precise interval pre-empting the reflex to shut your eyes. At last, crawling on hands and stone along a rocky and unstable footing - the enormous shale mouth opens…
"On their fourth album »Antro Pop«, the Italian duo Ninos Du Brasil fire out of all barrels: the energy of Nicolò Fortuni and Nico Vascellari rolls over this sound with percussion and beats. A track like »Chamada Chienenne« pounds along so stoically in just over three minutes that every beat hammers itself into your brain stem. Tribal, industrial and experimental set the tone, but Ninos Du Brasil do not get bogged down in sound art. All nine tracks remain highly danceable. »Preto Preto« wipes th…

The "Gold Is The Metal With The Broadest Shoulders" LP by Coil is released on Mute. Originally issued in 1987, the album is not a conventional studio album but a collection of outtakes, demos, and interim versions from the sessions for "Scatology," "Horse Rotorvator," and the Hellraiser contributions, functioning as a documentary in-between space within the band’s body of work.
Musically, the record operates in the tension between experimental electronics, dark ambient aesthetics, and industrial…
*2024 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Controlled Death is the dark side project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki a.k.a. Masonna. Here on Phage Tapes. Recorded and edited on January 13th and 14th, 2021 at Death Control Studio.
Broken Flag was never only a noise label. Never Say When, the compilation Gary Mundy assembled in 1987 as the imprint neared its end, is the evidence: ten tracks mapping a network that ran from Croydon to Udine, almost none of them behaving the way the label's reputation would predict.
Mundy founded Broken Flag in 1982, out of a bedroom in South London, alongside his own project Ramleh. Across the decade it issued early work by The New Blockaders, Consumer Electronics, Skullflower, Maurizio Bian…
LP version. Composer and conceptual artist Conrad Schnitzler (1937-2011) was one of the most influential figures of the electronic avant-garde in Germany. In 1967/68, the Joseph Beuys student founded the Zodiak Free Arts Lab, which became a playground for Berlin subculture. In addition to many other musical stations, bustling Schnitzler was a member of the kraut-electronic formations Tangerine Dream and Kluster. Numerous solo releases complete his extensive oeuvre. One of them is Con 84, probabl…
“Though this German group started out as a the new wave band P.D., by the time of Kuhe in 1/2 Trauer, their first LP under the P16.D4 name from 1984, they had developed far beyond into extremely experimental music similar to other post-industrial artists working with abstract avant-garde soundscapes. There’s a bleak industrial feel to the gritty, lo-fi electronics and tape loops, while the group throws in enough curve balls to keep it interesting. On some pieces, strange, looped choirs bubble ou…
The first thing that should strike any attentive listener of Gary Mundy’s work as Kleistwahr is that this new collection of nine songs features drums on the opening two tracks. Combining a manic rhythm with searing white noise, a post-punk guitar chopping angular sounds like it belongs to the debut Banshees’ album, and despairing vocals, ‘Cold Blood Cold Night’ sets the tone for most of the album. While not every song is bound to this same pulverising beat at its core, there’s a lot of untamed n…
101 Copies. Recorded in July 1980 and issued shortly thereafter on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes with the catalogue number YHR 005, Voyeur Tape was the first MB cassette to cross the Channel into the British industrial underground, preceding by a matter of months its companion Cold Tape, which would follow on the same imprint as YHR 006 before year's end. Together the pair formed Maurizio Bianchi's decisive entry into the small mail-order network through which European industrial music was circulating …
101 Copies. Recorded in the autumn of 1980 and originally issued the same year on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes in the United Kingdom, Cold Tape marks the moment Maurizio Bianchi's music first crossed the Channel into the British industrial underground. After a feverish run of self-released cassettes that spring and summer under the MB name, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi entered into correspondence with the small network of European cassette imprints that had begun to…
Edition of 101 copies. Recorded in June 1980 and self-issued the same year on cassette, Atomique Tape belongs to the legendary first wave of releases under the MB name, the moniker Maurizio Bianchi adopted that spring after closing his earlier project Sacher-Pelz. Across roughly twelve months, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi produced an extraordinary run of self-released tapes that would, almost immediately, place him at the centre of the international industrial…
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…

Review from Kata 11, Come Org. 1982:
Suicidal album. Death ia a pleasure after a side of this record - it makes Come's "I'm Jack" seem like "Christmas Oratorio". Let MB be your executioner!
