Finger Pointing To The Moon
*In process of stocking* This is not your typical noise album. Harsher palette familiar from previous Mogao releases has been put momentarily aside. Approach now is more intimate with two lingering tracks painting the picture of abandoned landscape, where the flock of electronic birds are swimming amongst the analog warmth of broken piano ambience, echoing the names of Brian Eno and David Tudor in mind. And this is the painting you can touch, feeling all the rough textures and cracks in the canv…
Disco 3000 -Complete Milan Concert 1978-

From Industry Home
An elegant decay amassed from the sounds of detritus. That may be an apt introduction to the work of Jo Montgomerie. Of course, The Helen Scarsdale Agency has a long standing infatuation with disintegrated sound in various forms. So, it makes perfect sense we should publish her work! That said, Montgomerie has a fascinating strategy to her long-form smears of blackened mascara ambient and smoldered noise. As a teenager she was a classically trained musician with an eye towards a career as a conc…
Broken Masses
*300 copies limited edition* Five collaborative pieces between Gary Mundy of Ramleh/Kleistwahr/Broken Flag and Eraldo Bernocchi of Sigillum S. Combining two guitars, subtle electronics and what sounds like a voice from another dimension, rhythmic loops or serene pools of liquid sound are generated that add up to an album of immense beauty and scope. Sometimes more intense and at others almost elegiac, this work is in keeping with Gary's more recent solo work yet benefits also from Bernocchi's ow…

Music for Hippies
**100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking** "Years and years ago, I went through my collection of old cassettes and transferred many of them. Within the dark corners, I found some rarely played cassettes by De Fabriek, and when I heard those again, I realized why I hadn't played those a lot. One was with P. Funk and called 'Music For Hippies'. Today I learned that not all those old cassettes will be re-issued on CD, which I think is good. I also learned that behind P. Funk there are a…
