Information Overload Unit
OEC is proudly going for the re-release of this Industrial timless masterpiece on its 45th anniversary! And after 45 the relevance of that album is incredible, it feels like it was recoded yestarday. The lack of equipment & tools has sharpened creativity. Information Overload Unit by "System Planning Korporation / << SPK >>" is simply a M.U.S.T.
A reference and absolute highlight in Industrial culture and muzak!
Without Blinking
Angelo Harmsworth's lands on Warm Winters Ltd. with his newest album titled 'Without Blinking', imbued, as usual, with a kind of gentle de(con)struction. Comprising of two longer compositions and a shorter piece featuring Felisha Ledesma, 'Without Blinking' is music on the verge of collapse, barely held together by its syrupy textures, intoxicated rhythmic gestures and characteristically raw emotionality. It's Harmsworth trying to map the limits of the senses, playing with our perceptions of tim…
Ashes
Coming from Genoa, Italy, Regen Graves (guitarist/drummer of death-doom band Abysmal Grief) brings his solo dark ambient project to Bent Window. "Ashes" presents expansive soundscapes for the dreary years. Cities that lay wasted in ashes from above have a soundtrack with this latest effort.
Eine Nacht
Deaf Lions is the recording project of T.S. Vickers who was based out of the San Francisco area. Although only active for a short period during the 1980s and early 90s, Vickers pioneered an enigmatic style of industrial / ambient utilizing early digital sampling techniques, Roland Juno compositions, and reel-to-reel tape loops.
Cassettes by Deaf Lions were self-released under the Stolen Art Productions imprint, though 1987’s “Copia” saw an official label release with Al Margolis & Sound of Pig. …
NY VIII
The motion and speed of a metropolis is captured on this collage-style disc. MJE sends field recordings and incidental music to Cyess Afxzs who provides further processing. 6-panel CD digipak is indexed as separate tracks and includes an additional epilogue.
Nameless Science
*2024 stock. 90 copies limited edition, very last ones in stock* Thought Broadcast return with a highly limited new long player via the freshly minted Amok Age. It's been over a decade since we first heard from Ravi Binning's project, arriving at around the same time as Blackest Ever Black and what felt like a renewed interest in blasted post-industrial electronics. Whether that interest still prevails i'm not sure, but Nameless Science nonetheless finds Binning worshipping at the same cursed al…
Collage / Décollage
80 copies limited edition Recorded, cut, reassembled and mixed in 2023/2024 by Guilhem All. 3 tampered electrophones + sound effects, rhythms and layers recorded on vinyl. Software collages.
Karaokult
*80 copies limited edition* The Karaokult sect organises karaoke ceremonies where disciples speak into microphones in a new language, that of dreams, the cosmos and confusion.
Finomehanika
Tip! An essential repress of the monumental 2020 album. Finomehanika was Rijeka-based Robert Merlak's first solo release in two decades since "Albumski" on pioneering avant-garde techno label Phthalo which put him on the map next to fellow artists as diverse as Dntel, Daedelus and James 'V/Vm' Kirby.
Merging piano and field recordings, Merlak moves between musique concrete, ambient, and neo classical, crafting great layers of depth and ambience combining the frayed melancholia of Vladislav Delay…
I Am The Dirt Under Your Fingernails
*Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely following 'I…
1991, Summer, Huntington Garage Fire
The A-side and title track of this cassette is a live document of one the best live concerts I've seen/heard in the past few years. It was recorded during a house party cookout in Leila Bordreuil’s backyard that I was lucky enough to attend. She played along to a video recording her partner’s family had made for their insurance after a garage fire back in 1991. The audio of the video was played through the PA and Leila slowly builds her electronics and cello into a psychotic inferno of wild nois…
Symphony For A Genocide
*202 copies limited edition* First issued on LP in 1981 by Sterile Records, London, England. The moral of this work: The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. MB: electronics. Symphony For A Genocide came out in 1981, on this album, MB construct brutal, hallucinatory blasts of electronic noise and grinding rhythms of hand-cut tape noise and overblown synthetic distortion.
These, bleak chilling drones are reminiscent of Conrad Schnitzler at his most neurotic, Nurse With Wou…
Multiple Density
Kimihide Kusafuka and John Wiese capitalize on their common language of concrète cut-up sounds for their first ever duo album, following many collaborations with Sissy Spacek. In a roaring daytime session, the pair performed two sets, approximately 20 minutes each, of finely detailed fast paced electronics. Recorded November 2023 at Technology Hour Extra Volume 3 at Freaky Show, Shizuoka, Japan. Digipak CD presented by Helicopter and Troniks. Art and design by John Wiese.
Purna
*20 copies limited edition* Album contains metamorphosed indian ragas mixed with harsh noise cutups. Track names refer to breath, concentration yoga technics and greatest yogis. Recorded and mixed by Stas Andreev in Tbilisi 2024 at home studio.
Constants
*2024 stock* UK-based artist Chris Herbert is a man of intermittent communications. Over the past decade he has published a select oeuvre of crushingly lush and elegant records. Fittingly then, Constants, his new edition for Room40 is a transmission from an overtly private realm. Working in a relative vacuum, beyond the reach of contemporary electronic music trends, Herbert has focussed his interest in intuitive composition. Drawing on a mixed musical palette and interweaving sounds sourced from…
Dry Routine
*200 copies limited edition with hand-stamped coffee stained sleeves and insert* 5 decided and minimal arrangements of raw organic waste, tired motors, and idling electronic signals. Sound sources that are unmistakably worldly, spun into Ochu’s signature malaise, making them impossible to place. A continuation of the trajectory established on his preceding albums Unproduktiw and Lähmung des Wartens, this time while a slightly noisier edge.
Enochian Music For Beginners
What if Coil would have gone playing Black Metal music? Well, we cannot say it for sure, but probably the outcome could have been something very similar to some of these last Teatro Satanico tracks. Heavily influenced by explicit occult and esoteric topics, “Enochian Musick For Beginners" is an unforeseen psychedelic journey beyond the frontiers of the usual post-industrial noise. A true original mixture of electric and electronic frequencies. It got something new, something that inspires awe, s…
Oppressor
After two demos and a trilogy of albums (on OEC, Tesco and Unrest) Böltorn decided to call it quits.The goals were achieved, there was nothing more to accomplish. In their wake they did however leave one recording behind; a "live in the studio" session recorded in January of 2022. These recordings are the most uncompromising ones the band ever did and fueled by anger, rage and alcohol in the company of good friends this is as hard and good as it gets.The live & final BØLTORN album. In one word: …
Up The Rolls
The summer of love is here...Claudio Frassine (MADEMOISELLE BISTOURI / NORTH CENTRAL) teams up with Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (FOLKSTORM / MZ. 412 / BØLTORN) to bring some seriously filthy noise to your dungeon.This is as extreme as it gets; blazing textures and walls of feedback collide with junk noise, roaring electronics and the commanding lyrics of Nordvargr.Harsh noise connoisseurs as well as power electronics fans take note - this is how it's done!A fantastic heavyweight debut.In a coupld of…
Eternal Paralysis / Peony Crackers
Eternal Paralysis and Peony Crackers was the first two tape albums by Incapacitants released back in 1981 and 1983 by Toshiji Mikawa alone (in the beginning Incapacitants was a solo project) on his own label Pariah Tapes. Two cult and very rare tapes finally made available again, 40 years after their first release. Original tapes has been digitally transferred from the original tapes by din-i-ilahi (advaita records) and was completely re-mastered for best experience on CD format by Mr. Mikawa.
