Nervous Hydra / All This Has Passed Forever
Stunning split release between Maurizio Bianchi, godfather of the Italian industrial noise scene, and Abul Mogard, the much loved and hyperstitious synthesist, conjuring a spellbinding testament to the transcendent and transportive energies of electronic music. Although appearing to starkly contrast on the surface, both artist’s work patently shares a lust for the suggestive abstraction of raw current and its pareidolia-like capacity to generate rich and uncanny emotional responses from the end…
Mörder Tape
First ever re-issue of this mythical Maurizio Bianchi tape from 1980. Mörder Tape was recorded in Milano at Mectpyo Studio using concrete sounds and radio waves. Another very fascinating M.B. early experiment. Limited edition of 150 copies in digipack. Cover images are original M.B. artworks from 1980.

The Triumph of the Will
First ever official vinyl re-issue of the infamous "Triumph of the Will" LP. Also the track contained on the one sided 7" is officially re-issued here for the first time on vinyl! The material contained here was previously issued under the moniker Leibstandarte SS MB.The moniker Leibstandarte SS MB and the nazi speeches that were added to the music were used without Maurizio Bianchi knowledge and without his consent. William Bennett, head of the band Whitehouse and the British Come Org. label, …
Weltanschauung
At the beginning of 1981 Maurizio Bianchi sent some demo tapes to the Come Organisation in England; after that, they extracted and blended together the sounds to get the final work. The title « Under The Victory Banner », an anachronistic and detrimental track for the rest of the album has been replaced by the title of the same set « Plutoniumetrio » edited in 1982 by the Come Organisation for the compilation « Für Ilse Koch », which fits much better with the other tracks. The Come Organisation…

Fetish Tape
First ever re-issue of this recently discovered Maurizio Bianchi private tape from April 1980. Fetish Tape was recorded right after Mectpyo Blut. Fetish Tape, as with the other tapes (Atomique, Cold, Voyeur,Industrial), features heavily distorted sounds and records played backwards and/or at the wrong speed! Also on the B side of Fetish Tape we find a track mostly made with radio waves. A very odd and fascinating M.B. experiment!Limited edition of 250 numbered copies in digipack. Cover image is …
Symphony For A Genocide
The legendary 1981 LP is back!! "The moral of this work is: the past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. Death camps were established through the process of dehumanized engineering, to destroy the will of the individual, and to create industrialisation of death. The modern parallel is to override the individual human choice through mass-media that established the city of death, in which marketing has become synonymous with mass destruction. A pathetic symphony for both i…
Micromal Sonorities
A collaboration between Maurizio Bianchi e Saverio Evangelista (Esplendor Geometrico). Originally published only in Japan in 2007 and deleted from years, now it's time for the long awaited re-release, that - with the cd - features the workshop MICRO by Stefano Gentile, inspired by the album.

Bakterihabitat by M.B. contains sound sketches that were later used in Telmegiddo. Mixture o…
CMRS/OPEA
Mindblowing double LP taken by a Maurizio Bianchi impossible-to-find early tape (from 1980!) "decomposed" in October 1980 using cacophonelectronics, and dedicated to the physical attraction to Sylvia Simonelli (September 1980/June 1981) “The genesis of this work is incredible. In the office where I worked, I had found a stamp with ‘’COMPRESA’’ (in English, included) written over it, and so I came to the starting point for a new experimental work. Erasing before the second, fourth, sixth and ei…
Cold Tape
Maurizio Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Cold Tape that follow Voyeur Tape and close the tetralogy begun with Industrial Tape, was recorded in August 1980 under the name MB.Cold Tape is composed of two long and exquisite pieces, with muddy and powerful sounds.…

Maurizio Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Voyeur Tape was one of the first release under the name MB (after Industrial and Atomique Tape), recorded in July 1980.Maurizio Bianchi elaborates his abstract and exhausting art with care and great detail. Voyeur Tape …

Industrial tape

Maurizio Bianchi elaborates his abstract and exhausting art with care and great detail. Industrial Tape is a concrete example of …
Amentest
The late 70's rejection of punk and rock-oriented music within select underground subcultures was signified by the works of bands like Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire and Whitehouse. Using their network of record labels and propaganda, these like-minded noise makers created a sound and aesthetic that is known far and wide as something quite English. But in Italy, a storm was slowly brewing in the works of a lone composer by the name of Maurizio Bianchi. Starting in 1979, Bianchi formed hi…
Neuro Habitat
**200 numbered copies on purple vinyl** Quality reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the \'soundtrack\' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It\'s the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts.
\"In order to cre…
S.F.A.G. 81
"Maurizio Bianchi's 1981 Symphony For a Genocide LP is the artist's most well known work, widely recognized as a classic of early industrial music. A year and a half after its initial release on vinyl in a limited edition of 227 copies, the album was reissued on cassette by the Broken Flag label. It was at this time that Bianchi created an entirely new recording drawn from the audio of the original LP. Entitled S.F.A.G. 81 and issued in January 1983 as a companion to the Symphony For a Genocide …
Isometrie sonore
Postface by M.B. - An isometric sound ineluctably holds a thematic notion which generalizes that of the rigid motion of noise, combining with a psychometric and cacophonous object. Formally, it is a modulatory function between two metric spaces preserving their silent distances. In the example shown here, isometry moves along electronic pathways and captivates the listener's mind through rotations and reflections in plane or in spatial sound, maintaining the geometric concepts of experimental su…
