Dawn Of The Bloody Tapes
The Cherry Point returns with the long gestating follow-up to Night of the Bloody Tapes, a speaker-shredding demolition across two tracks of unforgiving hell. Recorded in Los Angeles, 2020–2024, Dawn of the Bloody Tapes is an unrelenting underground audio annihilation fueled by xeroxed zines, shot-on-tape traumas, and scrambled late-night broadcasts. All electronics by Phil Blankenship. Mixed by John Wiese.
It's exactly what you think it is.

Los Angeles, Not the Totimorphous
Los Angeles, Not the Totimorphous surveys The Haters’ uncompromising presence in Los Angeles, led by GX Jupitter-Larsen since 1979. This documentation compiles both contemporary and archival performances: the 2024 45th Anniversary Show at Coaxial Arts Center with GX, AMK, John Wiese, and Elden M weaponizing transistor radios, turntables, tape, and rust; a 2011 suitcase-smashing set at LACE; and a 1991 event devoted to tearing paper. Each iteration presents entropy and action as its own aesthetic…
New York About the Polywave
New York About the Polywave chronicles both recent and archival New York performances by The Haters, the iconic noise and conceptual art collective led by GX Jupitter-Larsen since 1979. The collection includes the ferocious 2025 “Digging Through Time” show at TV Eye, where shovels and a large wooden clock met their entropy-fueled fate, as well as earlier interventions involving calculators against fans and amplified hole-punch devices.

2024 small repress. "Back to music after three years of silence... On the suggestion of Robert Ashley, Douglas Dunn commissioned this piece from Éliane Radigue for choreography. Only the first part of Triptych was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall/Theatre of Nancy on February 27 1978. Recorded in the composer's studio in Paris.

Live
Magnificent reissue of this tape obscurity from 1980, Cluster's eighth album (the first of three live LPs) originally released on the YHR label (which was curated by Pump's David Elliott), also including archival material never before issued on CD. With so much stuff from this era coming to the surface recently it's sometimes easy to get blasé about it all, but this is one you really ought to give your fullest attention to. As the title says, this was recorded live in Vienna in 1980 at th…

Skull Dream
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Most dreams are forgotten. They eventually become the cosmic dust of the subconscious, burning brightly for a few minutes before fading back into a buried chamber of mind. But occasionally nocturnal reveries assume a life of their own. They disappear and return, haunt and tantalize, offering unconscious symbols and twisted shapes that help us navigate the labyrinth of our own existence. Dave Harrington’s latest album, Skull Dream, falls into the realm of …
The Boyé Multi-National Crusade for Harmony
In response to the arguably self-righteous pronouncements made in the 1990s as to what jazz is and isn’t, Julius Hemphill (1938–1995) spoke up as he had done throughout his career. “Well, you often hear people nowadays talking about the tradition, tradition, tradition. But they have tunnel vision in this tradition. Because tradition in African-American music is wide as all outdoors.” This collection of music, this celebration of artistic collaborations that engaged Julius Hemphill throughout his…
Winter
Kleistwahr is the solo project of Gary Mundy, the legendary power electronic and noise-rock musician who is a founding member of Ramleh and runs the highly influential Broken Flag label. Solemn drones and elegiac long-form passages gird Kleistwahr’s Winter, which often chimes, glistens, and glows through a unhurried constructs for organ, synth, guitar, and electronics. Yet Mundy pivots throughout with triumphant explosions of shrill noise, redlined overload, and harrowingly anguished vocals from…
Seven Memories / Human Meat
Seven Memories / Human Meat brings Himukalt and Subklinik together in a collaboration that feels less like a split and more like a shared autopsy table. Across its two halves, the record traces a tight arc from psychic excavation to corporeal desecration, turning the body and memory into raw material for a language of diseased electronics, guttural atmospheres and suffocating space. It is an album that treats industrial and death‑ambient not as fixed styles but as solvents, slowly stripping away…
The Grand Guignol
First ever vinyl issue for the 1993 Death Industrial underground classic. Schloss Tegal's The Grand Guignol threads horror’s darkest rituals into a tapestry of sinister atmospheres and forensic sound design. With a palette favoring unease over spectacle, this album excavates the uncanny from the archives of fear, offering a study in slow-burning psychological disturbance that never settles for easy resolution.
Last Shot At Heaven
When describing the "Last Shot at Heaven" cover art on the Skullflower Bandcamp page, Matthew Bower highlights the ambiguity of the striking photograph of a civilian casualty during the Yugoslavian schism. "Is it ecstatic[?]" he asks of the woman's expression. This, too, is a question one could reasonably ask of any Skullflower album.
Bower and his many cohorts' body of work is full of lengthy compositions that evoke all manner of emotions. Statement records like "IIIrd Gatekeeper", released a y…
