Contrée
Unreleased before collection from French electroacoustician Régis Renouard Larivière. Contrée is an LP of quizzical, sometimes eerie voyages into unknown noise. "Allégeance Volatile" and "Esquive" each tackle the same issue in their own way. Overcoming time: whether it be successive, additional, enumerative, or repetitive. However, there is nothing here about the ensuing nature of so-called "repetitive" music. These are types of high-end music. And it is more about insistence, the obstinacy of a…
The Dead Never Sleep
*2022 stock* The undisputed master of nordic darkness & leading mind of MZ.412 returns once again from his cellar with a new offering for OEC. Following the success of the more experimental CD "On broken wings towards victory", "The dead never sleep" is a massive journey of classic Scandinavian darkambient, but with added outbursts of more violent layers and haunting electronics. Without comparison, this is the only fix of darkambient you need this year to satisfy your needs. Take heed as the de…
S/T
A suite of raga-inspired compositions and improvisations that grew from a fertile collaboration between Christina Vantzou, Michael Harrison and John Also Bennett centered around a devotion to just intonation tuning, deep listening, and resonant spaces. Michael Harrison is a composer and pianist who is a dedicated practitioner of just intonation and North Indian classical music. He was La Monte Young's protégé and piano tuner during The Well-Tuned Piano years and a disciple of Pandit Pran Nath, a…
Contemplating Nothingness
In the etheric inertness of "Contemplating Nothingness", studio whiz and erstwhile Coil member Danny Hyde revives the Electric Sewer Age alias he began with the late, great John Balance.
Sickness Report / Slush of a Maniac
**2020 stock** "Here comes the re-union of the two Atrax Morgue cult albums released by two US labels at the end of the '90s: Sickness Report, originally out on Release Entertainment (1996) and Slush of a Maniac, originally out on Crowded Control Activities (1997). Also includued are 3 rare compilation tracks. Both albums are long time sold-out and very difficult to get even at collectors prices. Finally here they are back in a unique and very Industrial-Psychedelic packaging. Regarding the soun…
Hotel Oriente
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Back in 2011 Massimo Villani and Marco Simonelli were connected by their common friend Lydia Lunch and met in Zürich with the intention of collaborating on a project. Over a sleepless weekend they conceived the tale of longing and desire that is Hotel Oriente. Marco wrote then the lyrics and Massimo conjured up with Pierce Wyss to create the soundtrack, that was recorded in Zürich at LOFT23. Hotel Oriente has been so far available as digital download …
Enthralled by the Wind of Loneliness
**2020 stock** "Unveiled, the verge of the silence, the voice of the shadow; the cynosure of the psyche is trembling for the essential breath. A subliminal reborn of invisible light strikes the eyes as the underpass appears in the essence and escarps into the esoteric realm of the source of life. A subliminal summon from disappearing heart enthralls the wind of loneliness. Lost spirit leaves deep traces behind as the path is revealing. Circle within circle the lingering path transubstantiates os…
Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations
**2020 stock** "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has been rendered imp…
Savage Weapons
*300 copies limited edition* "Savage Weapons" was released on OEC as a tape in 1995 in an handnumbered edition of 66 copies.In 2020 OEC was re-releasing that cult album for the first time into CD. The CD sold-out in a very short time. So, a couple of years later and after many re-print requests here comes the second edition for those who missed it. True and uncompromising P/E Industrial from the first era. No need to say more! In memory of Keith Brewer (1970 - 2019). Digital mastering and trasfe…
Nihil Total
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Long awaited, finally Folkstorm returns with a new full length assault in the classic orthodox Swedish industrial style - no computers or modern tricks, just old analogue junk and a pissed off giant to orchestrate the mayhem. All the elements you expect to find are there - harsh noise, fierce vocals, pounding drums and bad attitude. A great comeback after eight years of silence that makes no excuses.
Devoted to the memory of Marco Corbelli, to us this…
Kymah Rising
*2022 stock.* "Kymah Rising" is the closing chapter of the Rising Trilogy. It does complete a path through Isis and Typhon to the androgynous archetype of Kymah. Spawned during a transition period characterized by a line-up change, this album features several interventions by Daniele Santagiuliana and Dorian Bones (singer of the occult doom band Caronte). SC9 have made a big step forword in their sounds, a very deep and evoking ritual, you will be suprised by that album.
Live Ceremony
*2022 stock* With Mz.412 having infrequently graced the stage over the years, it was way back in 2000 (18th August) when two of the three members (i.e. Henrik Nordvargr Björkk and Jouni ‘Ulvtharm’ Ollila) teamed up to perform at the Collapse festival in Rostock, Germany. Being billed as Mz.412 vs Folkstorm at the time, this goes partway to explain the harder and harsher elements of this recording which incidentally was previously issued via Pagan Dance in 2004 in a limited edition of 412 copies.…
Ensemble Sacrés Garçons
"There will be no order, only chaos !" Ensemble Sacres Garcons, which is French for "The Blessed Boys Party", is made up of harsh and mechanical structural noise, with the squeal of a rusty hinge swinging throughout each track.Brutal and horrible S/M enterteinement by those primer US and Italian projects ! Noise and power electronics with no mercy ! This disk captures the essence of noise pollution, distorted vocals and chaos manipulation ! Wellcome to the hell factory !!!

** 2022 Repress ** "Music Promenade" (1964-1969): Electroacoustic Music, world premiere for the Théâtre de la musique, March 16, 1970 "Hétéro-Concert". Permanent version for four stand-alone tape recorders. A series of colliding realistic sounds and sonic images. Whilst walking, a man is struck by the violence of his surroundings.

Fractals / Brain Fever
2022 Repress "Fractals" (1981): Composed at the GMVL from December 1979 to September 1981, this work was commissioned by Fnac. Fractals are mathematical oddities that, when crossing our path, turn the smallest island into an immensity to be explored. "Fractals" is a series of short studies, all based on the same sound source. Seeking in the sound and its very logic a proposal upon which a construction is elaborated, each Fractal remains open and is a mere fragment of itself. "Fractals", music p…

60 Years
Previously unreleased recordings from every decade of the Arkestra’s history, kicking off with a session in Horace Tapscott’s garage in 1961 (involving Linda Hill and Arthur Blythe, amongst others), and running right through to the new generation of young musicians, in a rambunctious closer recorded live in Los Angeles during 2019, featuring Angel Bat Dawid on bass clarinet. Highlights in-between include the surging, militant Nation Rising in 1971 — check Juan ‘Jujigwa’ Gray’s electrifying vocal…
Come With Fierce Grace
In order to record the compositions in his critically-acclaimed 2022 release Gold, Alabaster DePlume instilled a culture of creativity by leading his ensembles in spontaneous composition and development. To allow them to be present, he kept the musicians constantly creating across several weeks of sessions at London creative hub Total Refreshment Centre. This process resulted in an abundance of material, much more than he could fit onto the initial double LP. After spending most of 2022 touring …
The Well And The Gentle
Tip! The Well & The Gentle, two of the major works of Pauline Oliveros, are presented here in a first time reissue on double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with extensive liner notes. If Oliveros had followed a more conventional path she may have, all social obstacles aside, been considered among the major composers of her time. However, Oliveros approached composition in a more egalitarian manner. She wrote music for musicians to interact with or, in the composers words, she wished to create "an in…
