*200 copies limited edition* "Kali, "The Black-One", is the Hindu goddess of death, time, supreme power, destruction and change. She is dark and heartless, the anti-mother with a bloodied face. She is "The One Who Dances", leading the world towards dissolution, end and rebirth. The origins of the Thug clan, stranglers known for their ritual murders, are linked to this karmic cycle.

2024 stock. In 2016, Belgian tribal-power industrial sextet Militia entered the studio to re-record their landmark 2000 album "The Black Flag Hoisted", the final chapter of the ‘Statement’ triptych. The album was re-recorded almost completely, several tracks were completed, the recording of which was interrupted in 2000, and additional drum sections were added that were not recorded last time. In a few months, the album was re-recorded and for 5 years it was waiting for the release, which was po…

*300 copies limited edition* Planned in the early 90's executed in the early 20's: The Arctic Salon. Another Cranioclast Expedition, this time to the Pole. A long time between planning and execution, but much shorter than the time between the first fake reports of having reached the North Pole on foot across the ice and the first expedition that really made it without motorization. But also a long time in which things in the Arctic and Antarctic got worse and worse and continue. Double LP almost…

*300 copies limited edition* Nordvargr’s Resignation project was initially born in 2008 exploring rhythmic and repetitive aspects of his musical output, merging elements of electronic music with dark ambient soundscapes. We present here the first 3 volumes of this venture in a deluxe 3LP boxset with poster as well as a 3CD 8 panels Digisleeve version, both with unique and exclusive material. From it’s inception delving into the more gaseous realms of dubby techno and evolving through the years t…

Yes, your eyes tell you the truth – this is the first new record by Zero Kama released since 2008 live vinyl! During these 16 years Zoe Dewitt was active with book publishing, Zero Kama and Korpses Katatonic reissues, lectures, scientific research, exhibitions, and rare but bright live shows. However, most of us have forgotten our dreams of seeing new releases of Zero Kama. Originally, "What is a Body" is the 50-minute background soundtrack for Zoe Dewitt's lecture performance in the anatomical …

As one of the people who defined punk's protest art in the 1970s and 1980s, Gee Vaucher (b. 1945) deserves to be much better-known. She produced confrontational album covers for the legendary anarchist band Crass and later went on to do the same for Northern indie legends the Charlatans, among others. As well as offering an overview of Vaucher’s career,  the book also offers a whistle-stop tour through later 20th century counterculture. We hear about the Fluxus movement; COUM Transmissions (the …

Limited to 800 copies! Each book is numbered and signed by the author. Large format book. Descenes and Discords: An Anthology is a powerful time capsule of the birth and evolution of punk music through the pages of two influential fanzines: Descenes and Discords. These publications, originally printed and distributed in Washington, D.C. during the late 1970s and early 1980s, captured the raw energy, irreverent spirit, and revolutionary ethos of the underground music scene - first local, then nat…

The book contains Ecopolitik, an introduction as an epilogue by José Luis Espejo, a letter to the Huaorani people, two research texts and one bertso, descriptive texts and photos of recordings, a possible chronology, a glossary, a compilation of several texts with testimonies, reports and declarations from different people, groups, institutions, and publications in reference to the impact—direct or indirect—of the noise from the oil industry during its various phases of development on the peopl…

*2024 Stock*  Noisemaker[s] is the catalogue for the 1999 two-part exhibition by the same title held at the Blackwood Gallery, curated by then Director/Curator Barbara Fischer.

Instantly sold-out at source ** Teppei Miki is a long-time resident of the Tokyo Punk/Hardcore scene, has spent a great deal of time and experience photographing gigs, and has now released a self-published book of his photographs, carefully selected from a vast collection of rare photos that capture moments filled with sweat and heat in the venue of Tokyo. In his own words: Born and bread in Japan, I’ve got really stuck into the rich underground music scene in th…

Softcover, 244 pages, 21x21 cm  What connects 1950s open-reel tape trading to Quebec's pioneering all-female punk band? How does Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac lead to Amon Düül and the Rote Armee Fraktion? Why should you know about Korla Pandit? And what exactly happened at Nijmegen's legendary Diogenes Club? The Third Annual - Korm Plastics' biggest and boldest yearbook yet - doesn't answer the questions you thought you had. It answers the ones you didn't know you were asking. This third edition…

English edition, hardcover, 292 pages. A relentless and unflinching collection, Domestic assembles the lyrics and texts of Kevin Tomkins-founding member of Sutcliffe Jugend and a key figure in the UK power electronics scene. Raw, brutal, and unapologetically intimate, this book lays bare the psychological terrain of control, submission, and the darkest corners of human desire and detachment. Divided into six visceral sections, Domestic shatters societal norms, piercing through the polite veneers…

Facsimile reprint of Walter Zimmermann's book Desert Plants, his interviews with American experimental composers from a 1976 trip to America

** Black Vinyl Edition. 3 LP Deluxe Hardcover ** Deeply emotional and uniquely rewarding album, reminiscent of Coil's mid-1980s classic “Horse Rotorvator”. Fully remastered and enhanced 3LP/2CD supervised by Danny Hyde. Includes 9 additional rare or unreleased tracks, remastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Jessica Thompson. Originally released in 2005 and in many ways the band’s ultimate swan song, it is now considered one of the go-to albums for introducing new listeners to the unparalleled ma…

Digipack CD. In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the heart. In the galaxy…

The explorer Walter Maioli makes his most amazing adventure, the journey to the center of the Earth. Retracing the exploits of the Platonic demiurge, he identifies in the cave the deepest meaning of myth. Primordial sounds, not shadows, are at the center of this magical path straddling geology and Paleolithic polyphony. The recordings between 1985 and 2002 capture the sonic imperceptibility of the great subterranean womb, investigate the secret dialogue between the trickling of pond waters and t…

** 2021 Repress ** If Conversations celebrates the memory, the artistic and spiritual heritage of bassist Fred Hopkins -- a historical member of the revolutionary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians of Chicago -- who died in January 1999, it also marks the amazing collaboration between the Ritual Trio of Kahil El'Zabar (with Ari Brown and Malachi Favors) and the intrepid veteran Archie Shepp, the great voice of the '70s Afro-free-jazz. Being a tribute that invites to an intimat…

Tip! If there is a single feature that makes the context of experimental music so exciting, it is arguably the willingness of artists to freely converse and collaborate. This is made all that much more thrilling when it transpires across the generations. The first LP in Black Sweat’s latest batch is one such case - two heavyweights, often occupying very different positions in the musical landscape, with births separated by decades, finding common ground and voice. Neither Sarah Davachi or Ariel …

** Much needed reissue ** Don't let the name mislead you! The enigmatic M. Zalla is one of the numerous aliases of the italian maestro Piero Umiliani who, during his period of fascination for psychedelic and electronic atmospheres, started to compose a good number of musical portraits dedicated, as the title reveals, to the problems of his time. In the early '70s, Italians were worried about the mafia, terrorism, and social conflicts; and one can sense that the music represents these anxieties i…

Huge Tip! 300 copies. Originally issued in 1978 by Cetra, Follie Del Divino Spirito Santo emerges from a singular moment in Antonio Infantino's artistic practice - a moment when his early immersion in international Beat circles and avant-garde gestural music had crystallized into something entirely his own: a ritualistic and shamanic engagement with the musical traditions of Southern Italy. From 1964 onward, Infantino had moved through collaborative circles with Vittorio Gelmetti, Sylvano Bussot…

"Before his prolific activity in the field of music therapy, Agostino Nirodh Fortini also embarked on his own path in electronic music. In the early eighties he was a close collaborator of Walter Maioli and Fred Gales, at the time of the pioneering label Sound Reporters.Suoni Immaginari, released only privately on cassette in 1988, contains a wide range of keyboards and lots of ethnic field recordings assembled with an absolutely modern praxis ahead of its time. Nirodh imagines his planetary ody…

With their second album of 1981, the ensemble Zeit re-propose their own vision of a new cultural multi-geographical mosaic without boundaries. The sound confirms the inspired and eclectic vein of previous work suggesting even a greater conviction and maturity of intent. The arrangements tend to dilate in more alchemical and hypnotic sequences, while the range of inspirations (Balkan music, Greek, Turkish, Persian, African etc.) and the poly-instrumentalism are even more precious and varied. Dec…

Listening to the music of Al Doum & The Faryds is always like staying in the pristine nature of an exotic island, in the sacred harmony of a new organic society; imaging all brothers and sisters singing and dancing in the unity of the brotherhood. This is the message of love and joy that pervade this fourth album, Spirit Rejoin. Moving towards accents of jazz ancestry, the Faryds absorb and re-elaborate -- with remarkable insights -- disparate elements and influences of electric jazz of the '70s…

** Special mirroring/holographic cover. Edition of 300 copies **  On the same path as Baraka, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) continues his intimate spiritual journey into healing and cosmic drone music. Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982). Sabiya means bright, shining, an oriental wind that suggests feminine power; Sabiha is therefore she who manifests beauty and grace. Shaheena is indicative of gentle and soft, while Shahira embodies and represents t…

A floating drift toward a mysterious reality, between Nature and Cosmos, poised between sleep and wakefulness, temporal co-presences and impossible spatial ubiquities. In this phantasmagorical saga, inspired by TV science-fiction as well as 60s and 70s horror movies, Nicola Giunta/Lay Llamas creates a miraculous balance between original inserts and retrievals of freely chosen fragments from old audio documentaries on vinyl, perfecting the art of sound collage in an absolutely psychedelic way. No…

Huge Tip! Since the 1970s Mario De Leo works as a musician and visual artist. His mechanical paintings are hybrid works that reveal the cosmic spiritualism hidden in the meanders of electronics. With Riccardo Sinigaglia (Futuro Antico, Correnti Magnetiche, Doubling Riders) De Leo consolidates an artistic and human partnership with Lettera Cosmica, a work unpublished to date, produced and recorded in 1981. In a wacky electronic vision of the succession of time, the tracks trace the four seasons i…

The backstory: 5 September, 2012 was the day John Cage would have turneed 100. Centenary celebrations for a prominent artist would seem rather conventional. Inappropriate for an extremely unconventional artist. But seemingly inappropriate things can be quite appropriate in unconventional contexts. So why not participate in a 100th birthday commemorative project? No sooner said than done...

Christina Kubisch contemplates Nicolai Tesla and his concept of electrical remoteness as it applies to the modern world. In this piece, Kubisch considers whether this is the future Tesla envisioned and what remoteness means in an age where remoteness hardly exists at all. "Tesla's Dream" includes electromagnetic field recordings from tramways, analog machines, light systems, power stations, airports, banks, security systems, advertising, and the sounds of discharges and activities of Tesl…

It’s past being a commonplace—it’s probably in The Simpsons, etc. —there’s the one dancer at a show who doesn’t care. They aren’t necessarily older than everyone else, but that’s what comes to mind. Whether they are high or not is made irrelevant by their dancing, which is both highly personal and in Haight tradition. The kind of eye contact that’s made about the dancer changes, with the age of the showgoers, from an entertained not quite derision that helps build a faith in the non-dancing ways…

"Flam" kicks off with a cinematic drone, followed by what sounds like water torture droplets, and a cacophony of clocks, and music boxes from childhood, and maybe something underwater. Something like a title arrives on the aural screen as GTD get down to the kind of business we love them for: that querying conversation between Steve Gunn’s guitar and John Truscinski’s drums and percussion, though here they venture into new territory, as Steve explains— “This 'Flam' session was open and experimen…

Soft Focus is a collaboration of Jimi Tenor , Lary7 and Mia Theodoratus. The album was recorded in NYC, at Lary7's legendary all-analogue studio Plastikville. Lary7 is a collector of historical synthesizers and percussion instruments that are extensively used in the making of this album. Mia Theodoratus lays down a hypnotic harp foundation on the compositions and Jimi Tenor caps them with exotic flute melodies. Soft Focus is evocative of the early Moondog albums. This record is for the hardcore …

Tip! Jim O'Rourke and Jos Smolders teamed up again after their first collaboration, Additive Inverse from 2021. Over a period of three years, both artists worked in sessions of a day, each in their own studio.The result is sometimes like a warm cloud of sounds, suddenly breaking up into a rhythmic, irregular pattern, after which it dives into introverted mindsets. The music is in constant flux. The project followed the same workflow, but this time Jim took the lead and kicked off with a salvo of…

Big Beat From Badsville by The Cramps, released 6 June 2013, includes the following tracks: "It Thing Hard-On", "Sheena's In A Goth Gang", "Monkey With Your Tail", "Super Goo" and more. This version of Big Beat From Badsville comes as a 1xLP.

Originally released on Big Beat in 1986, “A Date With Elvis” is a stone-cold Cramps classic that has never been out of print and introduced generations of music fans to the Cramps' unique musical voodoo A return to the racks for our much-loved orange vinyl pressing This is a date you simply cannot miss
