A collection of unreleased mixes by R.N.A. Organism, a unit representing the postpunk era in Japan that is gaining momentum for reevaluation. The unit's only LP, "R.N.A.O Meets P.O.P.O" (Vanity 0006, 1980), featured supercheap alternative-dub with various gadgets against a backdrop of urban aphorism and electrominimalism. Their sound has been described as "Japan's original mutant pop" mainly overseas, and their reissue of Vanity's work has been a hot topic.
In 2020, they released "Unaffected Mix…
*2022 repress* That dynamic of all dynamic duos Tomaga return with the amazing double LP Extended Play Vol 1 & 2. If you haven't checked into Tomaga yet you are in for a real treat. They make the best soundtrack you've never heard. The London based musicians who employ prepared percussion, oscillators, drum machines and more in their attempt to deconstruct standardised sonic palettes. Their improvised music contains elements of minimalism, Free jazz, electronics, noise, exotica and new wave all …
This is a really cool post-punk record that manages to be somber at times yet weird and funky too. Very creative! As After Dinner approaches Rock in Opposition through more of a Japanese pop lens, this record does much the same with Krautrock. Of course it doesn't hurt that the musicians Phew is playing with are huge figures from that scene: Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, and Conny Plank namely. Lots of great drumming, interesting synths, and really whacky bass sounds!
A budget-priced collection of tracks by artists who've had releases out on Fourth Dimension Records or whose music has entered the label's orbit and made a good impression. In an ideal world there'd be at least several albums by all concerned on Fourth Dimension Records, but the label operates from more or less the same dingy old basement it always has and subsequently has to limp along in usual fashion. It is precisely because of this that 'An Oblique Reference to Zeros' has been assembled. The…
*99 copies limited edition* Mauthausen Orchestra was one of the most important musical projects of the Italian industrial scene in the 80’s and has contributed to the birth of the power electronics and harsh noise across the globe. Tape after tape has constituted, in a few years, the backbone of what we will know as an alienating and extremist style, made of metal nightmares and sonic torture , often dilated, dissected and extended up to the limit of endurance. Mauthausen Orchestra carry us as r…
2CD set. The dark, atmospheric and energetic mix of choirs, strings, various FX-sounds, heavy drums, and tribal sections makes this the seed for the raison d’etre sound trademark that began with the album 'Prospectus I' from 1993. Released in 1992 'Apres Nous Le Deluge' became the first official output from raison d'etre when it went available on the Cold Meat Industry subsidiary label Sound Source. There are three versions of 'Apres Nous Le Deluge' and now they have finally all been joined int…

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…
Bourbonese Qualk were an experimental music group from England who where active from 1979 until 2003. The group were always obsessively and uncompromisingly focused on controlling their work - they ran their own record label, recording studio, tour organization and music venue (the legendary Ambulance Station) -- they refused to integrate into the commercial music racket turning down publishing deals from major labels -- stubbornly opting for total independence. Bourbonese Qualk were also known …

'Putredini Obnoxius' was the tenth Capricorni Pneumatici album, originally composed in 1991 for the Portuguese label Putrefactio but never published at the time. 26 years later it comes to light in this first edition, released from the original 1992 master tape. This CD is part of CP 30th anniversary releases. A "lost album" therefore, for the Milanese duo dedicated to a ritual ambient and psycho acoustics fused with ideas gleaned from the writings of Aleister Crowley. The manipulated voice of …
"... I find it frustrating when presented with an album such as this. I'd love to be able to tell you what a great contribution Non Toxique Lost have made to Man's strive towards musical enlightment. Unfortunately I'm resigned to meticulously and clinically dissecting this effort in order to find out what's lacking. Suffice to say it grates, from the cover and contents through to the press release. The whole thing recks of pretension, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth and a howl of derision fr…
* Edition of 100. Housed in high quality folded card stock Silk Screened. * Spit-tested veterans of frontal-lobe extermination, Key of Shame’s Pat Murano (Decimus, NNCK) and Mark Morgan (Sightings) discharge focused algorithms of unease and decay in split-second intervals on their third LP, Threnody for Judas Iscariot. A sly codicil of dim textures and gestalt arpeggios, Judas Iscariot shudders itself open and stays gaping, bum notes skittering and splitting out of the electronic backwash like e…
