Cocaine Death
Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side featu…
Awake!
Staggering reissue, long time coming, of what was originally a six cassette box released on Broken Flag in 1985 documenting every last recorded artefact from Ramleh’s original ‘power electronics’ incarnation, here with massively upgraded sound and bonus previously uncompiled material that runs from their inception on 21/5/1982 through to their eventual hiatus on 21/7/1984. The eight CDs contain over 100 tracks that clock in at over 500 minutes of playing time. Each CD is housed inside an …
Steel Night 29.11.01
"As a surprise on the night, and impressed with the line-up, Douglas P of DEATH IN JUNE approached and asked if he could open the show with an acoustic set. All four acts were digitally recorded by Stephen Meixner (CONTRASTATE). For this set, each CD is packaged in its own card wallet, in its own camouflage, inside a shrinkwrapped `clamshell` style box. The set is made complete with a foldout poster of images all the bands that played this STEEL NIGHT."Limited edition four-disc box set of…

Stations Of The Cross
Ltd ed of 500 copies, first edition "New release from baroque conceptualist and improviser, Josef Van Wissem, who, for more than a decade, has been quietly but surely reinventing the vocabulary of that most unlikely of instruments, the lute. With the exception of the odd Renaissance preservationist context, the lute, which was once the most popular portable instrument in the Western world, has all but disappeared from our musical landscape. Despite the arcane associations of his chosen ins…
Estórias para Voz, Instrumentos Acústicos e Eletrônicos
One composition from 1967 (the first), the rest from the late 70s. Here we have patiently forming compositions of a variety of means, although to be fair, the order in the title is clearly in order of importance. The voice is the most important element in three of the four compositions (the second is mostly ambient and dominated by piano and atmospherics), while the last is most likely where Jocy draws the electronics (although their appearance is fleeting and only used as window dressing). Thro…
5 Rimbaud 1 Verlaine
At last! This is the first new Ghédalia Tazartès record in 10 years! Not that this gentleman was done with his Impromuzic, but he prefers to watch his widowed canary flying & singing in his flatelier than to release records. Anyway, he's back with these memorable & noisy performances of Rimbaud & Verlaine, giving to their poetry the best of tributes.
Alexipharmaca
Alexipharmaca, Mem1’s second full-length album, is a collection of improvised works that capture the allure of the forbidden and dangerous, and the modern fascination with things ancient and shrouded in mystery. The album’s title is taken from a set of poems written by Nicander of Colophon, a Greek pharmacologist (fl. 197-130 B.C.E.), whose text deals with plant and animal poisons and their antidotes. Mem1’s music intoxicates with its rich textures and lavish soundscapes, but — like a beautifu…
Artefacts of Australian Experimental Music: 1930 - 1973
a new compilation CD documenting the forgotten history of Australian experimental music, beautifully packaged, absolutely fundamental! "one of those rare compilations whose desire to edify is equalled by its unabashed enthusiasm, and whose audio matches and sometimes exceeds expectations. Musically, it answers many questions about our history and poses still more - The Wire, August 2007....represents one of the first serious investigations into the sparse recorded history of experimental sound p…
Duos II
2005. 2nd volume of improvisational duos recorded by Jean Claude Jones with his friends in 2004 (with a few earlier pieces). As usual this music is highly intellectual, with very personal approach to inprovised free jazz. Friends include Ned Rothenberg (bass clarinet and alto sax), Victoria Hanna (vocals), Harold Rubin (clarinet, original text), Joseph Sprinzak (voice), Hagai Fresthman (drums), Daniel Hoffman (violin), Gan Lev (reeds, home made didg), Nori Jacoby (viola, flutes).
FRKWYS Vol. 9
restocked: For the ninth volume of FRKWYS, a music and film series pairing contemporary artists with those that may have preceded them in style and/or approach, Sun Araw and M. Geddes Gengras meet The Congos in Jamaica.
Oscillator
Mindblowing reissue! Another hot date with the history of Italian new wave: Neon, in the Year of Our Lord 1979, with Marcello Michelotti on vocals, accompanied by Stefano Fuochi. At the mixer: Maurizio Fasolo and Massimo Michelotti, soon to be known as Pankow. Halfway between hard goth and elegant neo-Futurism, with the determination needed to metabolize and mould into something new, the influences of Kraftwerk, Harmonia, Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Oscillator is the missing link bet…
Silence Over Florence 1982-1984
In the beginning there was Tenax…rock club / black hole of youth in search of an identity…and not just musically speaking. In this pagan temple of torn army pants and calcified hair gel the Florentine new wave scene had just begun to take shape, and this box set maps the humble beginnings of that near-great metropolitan epic. 4 bands. 4 CDs. Collected in a clear plastic box with a 16-page booklet (in English) that tells the tragic tale…

Various amusements
Back in stock. 'Various Amusements is the fourth release by Japanese duo Nerve Net Noise. Though the definition of noise explored across the 7 tracks seems to differ from the traditional expectations of japanoise music - rather slow motion noise is perhaps a better description. The album has a certain theme to it, suggesting a girlishness with the packaging and various amusements of the track titles. The CD comes in a pink anti-static bag with a pink card inlay, while track titles include cookin…
Omicron/Omega 10LP Box
**very last copies** A certified masterpiece! One monumental box set containing 10 (ten!) unreleased before LPs: an adventurous, spacious and varied oxet blossoming into the label you have known and loved ever since, always on the move; forward, sideways, upwards, backwards. Spread over the 10 LPs, you get the finest selection of rarities and previously-unreleased tracks. Not only that, the package itself is nothing short of excellent, with its newly-designed handmade box, and indiv…
I Hate Mozart
"Why do I have to sing Mozart all the time?", the tenor in Bernhard Lang's opera "I hate Mozart" cries out in despair. Well, why always listen to Mozart operas and not an opera of the early 21st century for a change? With their provocatively named contribution to the Viennese Mozart Year 2006, composer Bernhard Lang and librettist Michael Sturminger succeeded in creating a parody of the opera business that loses none of its sharp wit in the CD recording. The "backstage insights" supplied on DVD …
