NH/HN
The Italian sound experimentalist/ industrialist Maurizio Bianchi/M.B. needing not any introduction comes here reissued. "NH/HN" is one of M.B.'s earliest tapes, recorded and released back in September 1980. Not to be confused with the "Nervo/Hydra" tape (1981) which was ilegally reissued by several labels which wrongly entitled them as this one. Synthesizers, radio transmissions, concrete noises and weird vocals are the elements used on this recording by M.B to create a parallel reality …
A M.B. Iehn Tale
The brand new release of Maurizio Bianchi (M.B.). Similar to his early experimental bionic – industrial masterpiece like The Plain Truth, Armaghedon, Endometrio and Carcinosi, this album presents eight decomposed tracks with slow, obscure and meditative music… Cold atmospheres and reverberating piano… Really one of Maurizio Bianchi best work to date!!! Dedicated to all the meditative people who is living in the environmental paradise.
Kathamenja
Depurative decomposition for electro-metabolic apparatus, originally secreted during the second half of 6030 Annus Mundi, then definitively flowed on 6034 Annus Mundi'In the informal medicalese, "kathamenja" is the synonymous for sanguiferous menstruations, gory menses, bleeding period, but the self-regulation of veritable sparingness infringes the obscurantist prototype for melanotic legalization. The halogen inspiration dispraises every particle of this conveyer opus, until the cankerous anae…
PU 94
Here at last is a deserved and “rightful” CD re-release of this fantastic collaboration created in 2007 by Maurizio Bianchi and Craig Hilton. Until now this recording was only made available in a very limited CD-R edition. Extremely dark atmospheres, restless and dramatic… Sharp masses of metallic noises cleave pulsating substrates of low frequencies, mixed with magmatic agglomerates of more processed sounds of an unrecognizable nature… Moments of stasis and apparent quietness… Handfuls of…
Mene Teqel Farsin
Storms of cosmic energy, boiling and gurgling electronic fluxes, sonic masses made of monolithic and impenetrable drones, visions of smoky afterdeath landscapes, scorching and infernal… A neverending tunnel with no way out, a sense of deep anguish, of desolation and resigned impotence that lead the dark journey from the beginning to the end of this hallucinatory path. The sound quality and the sharpness of details are absolutely insuperable, they will offer you a “wrapping” and emotionall…
Neurotransmitters
Crashing, cascading sounds, like thunderous storms. A perfect example of industrial droning ambient. Releasing collaborations since 2006 this is the 5th work they've done together. An amazing album consisting of two long tracks dealing with Drone and Dark Ambient/ Noise.

Slay Me in My Sleep
The Preservation label presents Slay Me in My Sleep, the sixth album from Melbourne's Grand Salvo. Under the guise of Grand Salvo, Paddy Mann has established himself as a songwriter of unique heart and soul with a depth of lyricism matched by warm but widescreen musical vision. 2009's Soil Creatures sealed his reputation, being his most stark and concise statement yet. With Slay Me in My Sleep, Mann has returned to familiar territory, writing a parable as song cycle similar to his epic fairytale…

Panabrite is the solo recording project for Norm Chambers, who over a short time has grown a catalog of works showcasing a natural empathy for tapestries of sound that are eclectic, intricate and immediate all at once.

Geri Reig
Geri Reig is Der Plan's debut album (originally released in 1980), but not their first release. An EP, recorded with the aid of an Electric Memo dictation preceded Geri Reig. But the band is not very keen on reissuing this early work. Why did they call themselves "Der Plan," actually? "A concept which has something to do with the capacity of people to think and shape their future" as Plan member Moritz Reichelt, alias Moritz R®, once explained. Der Plan at that time comprised Moritz Reichel…

Voix
First Ever Official Reissue Remastered from the Original Master Tapes!I talian avant-garde and film composer Egisto Macchi (1928-1992) produced a large and largely forgotten catalog of astounding music during the 1960s and 1970s. At the crest of that incredible body of work stands Voix, an LP of intense contrasts; haunting, dissonant choirs collide with dexterous ‘musique concrete’ manipulations and other worldly soundscapes, while guitars buzz and strings scrape violently. The world of V…
