*300 copies limited edition* Alchemist Maurizio Bianchi has opened seven gates that lead directly to a trance state. Beyond the gates, the sound of higher dimensional beings moving through space, or perhaps the revelry of angels as they celebrate their pouring down from the heavens, jointly unfold the world of a superb ambient trance symphony that mixes unknown sounds that resist our ordinary perception. You can transit at your own leisure in this blissful trance world, and it may be a chance fo…

Limited edition of 50 copies (hand-numbered sticker). Comes as white shell tape with pro print, 3 panel j-card, clear jewel case. A true experimental music classic by Maurizio Bianchi, originally released as private cassette in 1980 and then later bootleged on tape

Maurizio Bianchi is an Italian pioneer of industrial music and dark ambient, originating from Milan. Bianchi was inspired by the music of Tangerine Dream, Conrad Schnitzler and Throbbing Gristle. He wrote about music for Italian magazines before beginning to release his own cassettes under the name of Sacher-Pelz in August 1979. He released four cassettes as Sacher-Pelz before switching to his own name or simply "MB" in 1980. Bianchi corresponded with many of the key players in the industrial mu…

*50 handnumbered Editions on green 135g Vinyl* Maurizio Bianchi is one of the founders of early industrial and noise music and should be familiar to most. For Antimateria he contributed two brand new, merging pieces in which he approaches the theme through sounds of luminescent and rushing keyboard clusters. Coalminer establishes several harsh noise tracks, for which they collaborated with the most diverse artists of the genre, from different countries. With the help of Toshiji Mikawa (Japan, Fo…

'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.

*300 copies limited edition. Includes CDr and tote bag* "After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn. After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn of 1980 I arrived at the synthetic court of the purest and most uncompromising electronics and thus the "Computers S. P. A." project was born, consisting of two improvisations on the Korg MS synth…

Limited edition 88 numbered copies. At the dawn of the 1984 year, the apocalyptic interruption of Armaghedon hijacked neurological experimentation on the tracks of ancestral density, whose symbiotic traces can be found in the current Doa-Hage-Rmn, a radiological symphony that draws its inspiration from the electrolytic resonances of the most radical non-conformism. The exhortation is to pay attention to the subliminal message contained therein, which can be lethal for those who will not accept i…

Originally released on LP in a private edition of 300 copies in 1982. This new CD re-issue comes in a fold out oversized card sleeve. 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! Review by Mauro Alfieri, Rockeri…

"Towards the end of 1982, I was living a moment of creative stagnation, and for avoid the risk of repeating myself with sterile modular secrations, I had an arterial idea: filering ancient recordings of mine through the aid of an Aiwa mucus echo machine , and so I set to process the sounds, transforming them into something completely new, so I coined the term “bionic music”, composed by concrete sounds recycled with electronic spraying… And as main theme I used the medical syncretism to ascertai…

"Ante-facts : after the disintegrative period of my production (from “Symphony for a Genocide” to “Das Testament”), the purchase of a misanthropic echo-machine and the consequent decay of the electric-analogue machinery, my efforts was redirected to a pre-recording sound sublimation, so I started to re-compose the electronic metastasis of early times, filtering through dehumanizing effects of the echo-machine, keeping attention particularly to the explanatory process of my ancestral subjectivism…

'A piece that will continue to be talked about in the vast catalogue of Italian industrial/noise artist M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi), 2016, new domestic release. Industrial~Noise~Electronic~Ambient, an ambient piece that demonstrates a depressive worldview in all directions, but it is full of M.B. taste that continues to suffer quietly. Twisted ambience, a historical invention of M.B.'s. A universal industrial classic. A destructive force that is more like an ever-expanding electronic cell than noise…

*200 copies limited edition* In the "Tape Network" universe of the early 1980s where everything seemed possible, Maurizio Bianchi meets Lieutenant Murnau in two obscure but historical postal collaborations, originally released in a strictly limited edition for the British tape label Flowmotion (It Should Be Used Only Once) and for the German Litanic (Techno-Logy). Two of the best known promoters of the Italian experimental scene create two surreal experiments that anticipate the mash-up vogue, h…

*100 copies limited edition.* "LP by Maurizio Bianchi and a CDR by M.B., and that's why a book is such a great idea. Why is that? 'Telmegiddo' (CD) is 'the last cassette tape decomposition' and was previously released as 'Extreme Man 2'. The two pieces on 'Bacterihabitat' (CDR) are from May 1982 and previously released as 'Extreme Man 1' - both of the releases actually released without permission. Its hard to say what the differences would be between both works, but they (all four pieces, over t…

(or MB, whatever you prefer).Four pieces here, each about twenty-two minutes (hence this bein…

* Limited edition in Orange/Yellow vinyl. 155 copies * When I started my record label Broken Flag in 1982, one of the people I really wanted to work with was Maurizio Bianchi. His album “Symphony for a Genocide” was such a haunting, evocative record that I needed to get in contact with the man who made it. We made contact and remained regularly writing letters to each other, mine in my unintelligible scrawl, his in his red ink on photocopy paper. He was massively prolific and I soon became a dis…

Reissue of a February 1980 decomposition (M.B. skippin' up the film's original soundtrack) from the Italian industrial forereunner. Halting tape cut-ups of the classical score from Kubirick's film. One of the strangest M.B. recordings!

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 create this sound system, I used the conduc…

Instead in the case of MB, there is no epitaph or famous phrase, but only a simple description of its o…

* Edition of 200 in 6-panel ecopack/digifile * Lastfirst is the brand new project by MB. The work is based on a reworking of his 1999 album entitled First Day Last Day. The original work has been totally reprocessed and reworked into a darker version that reflects even more the dark times we are living in. A symphony that digs deep into our souls and lays bare all our fears. Together with Dead Colours (2003), Lastfirst represents one of the most intense and profound moments in MB's discography. …

Limited edition 62 numbered copies. Here is a MB's note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, I've only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because I'm not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "Untitled 1980" tape is an old tape without title found from a friend of mine, and I called it this way because its without ti…

With the help of Siegmar Fricke, the work was restored and is now brought to light in a official and defini…

**200 copies** "It begins. A slow mournful droning as if the very world itself is emitting a long low sigh of anguish. An anguished moan that rises and echoes into the vast subterranean chamber. Imperceptible and indistinct, a gentle tolling of bells emerge from the dark murky sonic abyss that is beginning to slowly unfurl around you. It’s almost as if this almost unobtrusive nebulous pealing of bells is the bell of Charon, sounding as he slowly approaches you on his rust coloured skiff. Upon th…
