Macabre Visions
*100 copies limited edition* Founded by Moreno Daldosso in 1992, Murder Corporation emerged during a crucial transitional period for the Italian industrial underground. The ritualistic and experimental tendencies that had characterized many projects of the 1980s were progressively mutating into harsher territories shaped by power electronics, death industrial, noise extremism and transgressive performance aesthetics. Within this shifting environment, Murder Corporation rapidly developed a distin…
Yours Sincerely
With Yours Sincerely, Haruomi Hosono turns a lifetime of musical wandering toward compassion, memory and the unknown. Tender psych-folk and bubbling avant-pop frame his first new collection in seven years, while female voices open fresh emotional territory. Rather than settling into legacy, he makes curiosity the engine of a quietly adventurous renewal.

For The Raven
*300 copies limited edition* For the Raven was due to be the next release after Ligeliahorn on the Nekrophile Rekords label. Sadly the project fell through and, even more sadly, it coincided with a number of the celebrants being rounded up to enjoy a short holiday at Her Majesty's Pleasure, expense and, indeed, insistence. By the time our intrepid Disciples Of Doom re emerged the momentum had been lost and For the Raven was consigned to the Metgumbnervaults to, until recently, only make an occas…

Il Metodo per Suonare
Mega Tip! Edition of 200 copies, comes with a large illustrated insert. Giuseppe Chiari arrived at music from the wrong direction. He read mathematics and engineering at university and studied piano and composition privately, and it was John Cage who turned him toward experimental music. With Pietro Grossi he founded Vita Musicale Contemporanea, one of the first Italian associations for new music, and with Sylvano Bussotti he assembled the travelling exhibition Musica e segno. In 1962 Frederic …

Basilikum
Holy Tongue are a trio composed of Valentina Magaletti, Susumu Mukai, and Al Wootton. Accomplished musicians in their own right, they create expansive rhythmic music that moves freely through dub, trance, post-punk, free improvisation and cinematic psychedelia. Such a dynamic energy and force is mapped across a trilogy of critically acclaimed EPs, their debut album Deliverance and Spiritual Warfare and their collaborative album with dub-pioneer Shackleton. The trio recorded a series of improvisa…

Entangle Spirant
*200 copies limited edition* This year’s Aube tribute release from advaita records is Entangle Spirant, originally released in 1995 by Drahtfunk-Products. Using only steel wire as its sound source, this unique noise—in which various friction sounds intertwine to create a hypnotic soundscape blending chaos and order—embodies the quintessential Aube aesthetic. We have faithfully reproduced the original artwork, which perfectly complements the music.
Racco
Few musicians, and few albums, embody such a joyful sense of freedom and vitality. Racco is where the artistry of Ryojiro Furusawa reaches its peak.
Fantasy
On Fantasy, Piero Umiliani resurfaces four decades late with a perfectly preserved final statement: a 1983 library dream where analog synths, light orchestration and soft rhythms drift between science‑fiction shimmer and easy‑listening warmth, closing his universe on a quietly visionary note.

The Palm Leaves of Victory / Audio Letter to Mitch Meyers
The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …
