I’m going to have to ask you to
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* One long composition for each side. Reminding me of an ultra-stretched version of the beautiful interplays on talktalk’s spirit of eden. Brittle percussive repetitions and muted trumpets slowly maneuvering into lovely tensions.

Spiral Right / Spiral Left
2010 release ** "In the planning (and many faxes, emails and discussions in person) for 20 years, finally this stunning collaborative release for Cold Spring from Japanese Noise king Merzbow and legendary elemental sound artist Z'EV is here. The tracks were created in London and Tokyo, with each artist remixing the other's original sounds. Two tracks weighing in at 22 minutes and 28 minutes respectively! Dark Ambient Noise."
Neural Frequencies
2007 release ** "Spectral modulations refer artificial synthesis of psychophysical filters, while electro hypnotic segmentations unclose multiple external stimuli of pauperized dimensions. The neural degree is shading the higher method of frequencies, but the turgescent preceptive instruments autoregulate the recognizable discomfort. The normalization method is already remitted to the infected acquisition: it's the lacerating beginning of the epileptic end, realized in the year 2005."
B.L.E.V.E
*50 copies limited edition* An industrial incident, a long live act, a four hands portrait. There comes the third opus of Meth.O.Tapes label catalogue, in a dense, deep fog. Following a first album out on Big Science Records, the duo Warzabart sets up a throbbing nightmare, a mental image of what a « BLEVE » is, namely a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion. Between noise monolithism and the exciting richness of live takes where the machine itself tends to create the adequate language to tel…
Zonal Disturbances II
Following Dirk Serries’ recent albums the composer continues to explore different sonic terrain. Still on the electric guitar with a motherboard of analog pedals, the 4 tracks on Zonal Disturbances II start to give signs of a new signature style of ambience Dirk is constructing. Organic, brooding and eerie. All recorded live on the spot creating music that still showcases the artist’s fondness for minimalism and slow repetitive clusters of sound while tying connections with his roots in industri…
The Ballasted Orchestra
2025 stock 2013 repress, originally released 1997. CD version of the new album by this Texas outfit, following 2 released on Sedimental. Purely droning ambiance.

Locus
300 copies. Following a creative burst in 2024 that resulted in several releases on iDEAL, New Forces and No Rent, label favorites Organ of Corti are returning to DMR for their first LP. Slowly moving into new territory, they deliver 6 bare boned surreal soundscapes. Minimal, repetitive tape loops, haunting synths and vaguely familiar vocal samples are carefully mixed for a sonic exercise reminiscent of those classic Nurse with Wound and Organum releases.
The Swedish trio of scene veterans Joach…
Solemn
2007 release ** "I've rarely heard anything this slow avoid being repetitive this successfully and, in fact, it wouldn't be too difficult for other bands to take a leaf out of Solemn's book and try a similar approach. One of the ways in which this does well is down to the structuring of the album. The two opening songs are both colossal slabs of slow doom that include lots of subtle keyboards and soundscapes, as well as an outstanding vocal performance, more on which later. They pack in just abo…
Subdivisions
*200 copies limited edition.* What sets 400 Lonely Things apart is its ability to turn seemingly mundane or discarded sonic artifacts into evocative, almost cinematic experiences. The project’s work resonates with fans of dark ambient, hauntology, and experimental sound design, offering a gateway into worlds where time has fractured and memories linger like spectral echoes. Subdivisions, the latest album from 400 Lonely Things, marks a departure from the project's conceptual and thematic approac…
Meido
This 2025 album by sound artist Yengo is a haunting exploration of sonic landscapes. Oscillators rise as if drawing curses from the depths of the underworld, surrounded by collage noise that drifts, vanishes, and gradually intensifies in ferocity. The album weaves a chilling atmosphere reminiscent of Japanese horror films with an experimental and avant-garde auditory sensibility, converging towards a sonic catastrophe. The cassette tape edition is uniquely packaged in a sleeve wrapped in bamboo …

Since that concert, the duo has shared common ground—stages, rehearsal spaces, video calls—and a shared goal: developing a genuine and personal musical vocabulary.Despite their different backgrounds and generationa…
