Mastered from original master tape kindly provided by Andrea Cernotto with the full permission of Pietro Mazzocchin. “As far as I remember,…

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!

Vratya Southward
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "It's actually surprising that this album ends up feeling quite a bit different in comparison to Enclosure, considering that they both have used the same source material, raw material from Ecobondage. This one is much more subdued, a series of industrial/musique concréte-like improv pieces evoking Nurse With Wound with its warbly, echoing, factory-like atmosphere, dominated by tape/vinyl scratches, speedups/slowdowns and homemade percussion fr…
Psychorazer
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "An odd release that doesn't seem to follow any sort of a recognizable theme or singular approach to noise, just three random tracks pasted together. In the first track there's not much interesting variation within it. The second track is a cool Music for Films evoking electronic drone that's also 56 seconds long. The main course here is the third track, which is a massive beast of thick fuzz that has a very strange, "rattly" effect to it, ach…
Gasping_Sighing_Sobbing
Mega Tip! Between her elaborately conceptual Drag City singer-songwriter albums and celebrated soundtracks for Ryusuke Hamaguchi, in recent years Eiko Ishibashi has quietly self-released a significant body of solo and collaborative work on her Bandcamp page. At times resembling her solo live performances in their organic interweaving of instrumental, electronic, and concrete sounds, each of these less feted online releases offers a snapshot of the experiments always underway at Atelier Eiko. Som…
Antimonument
*In process of stocking. 300 copies limited edition* "This is probably one of the most industrial Merzbow's records that he ever made. For an album in transitional period between his early musique concrète/sound collage pieces and later harsh noise works that he's best known for, it's nothing surprising. Nevertheless fact remains that Antimonument sounds pretty different from any other of his records, but instead of explaining it by the former way, I'd rather see it as a very intentional artisti…
Mortar
*In process of stocking* Mortar is Moreno Daldosso / Murder Corporation. Originally released on cassette in 1995 by Slaughter Produktions. Remastered from original tape. Limited edition of 100 copies in oversized fold-out cover.
Symphony For A Genocide
*202 copies limited edition* First issued on LP in 1981 by Sterile Records, London, England. The moral of this work: The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. MB: electronics. Symphony For A Genocide came out in 1981, on this album, MB construct brutal, hallucinatory blasts of electronic noise and grinding rhythms of hand-cut tape noise and overblown synthetic distortion.
These, bleak chilling drones are reminiscent of Conrad Schnitzler at his most neurotic, Nurse With Wou…
Eternity's Pillar
Los Angeles, 1985. Every Sunday after midnight, on KTTV Channel 11, an independent commercial television station, something appeared that had no business being on commercial television: Alice Coltrane, appearing as Turiya, broadcasting devotional wisdom, meditation and music straight into the Californian night. The programme was called Eternity's Pillar. It ran until 1988, then vanished, thought lost for decades, until seventeen episodes surfaced from broadcast master tapes held by the Coltrane …

Music / Sangam
Paris, 1978. Don Cherry walks into a French studio with a suitcase full of instruments nobody expected and meets Ustad Ahmed Latif Khan for the first time. No rehearsal, no plan, just two musicians who recognize each other immediately as kindred spirits. What happens next is one of Cherry's best efforts - an album only hardcore fans know about, recorded in Paris, released only in France in 1981, disappeared, and now back again in a special edition that demands attention. This is what "world musi…
Light
On Light, Palle Mikkelborg condenses a lifetime of orchestral colour into a quietly radiant final opus: solo trumpet, flugelhorn and piano drift through self‑designed soundscapes, joined sparingly by harp and guitar, like hymns remembered in slow motion.

Plux Quba
One of the greatest sonic masterpieces of the '80s - long championed by Jim O'Rourke and foreshadowing the work of an entire generation of experimental electronic music that emerged during the 1990s - Christian Fennesz, Oval, Mouse on Mars, Microstoria, C-Schulz, Mountains, and Oren Ambarchi - we're thrilled to offer an essential repress of Nuno Canavarro's visionary LP, Plux Quba, via the venerable Drag City. Originally appearing from the shadows of the mysterious vanguard of Portuguese music i…
