Rainbow Electronics
A stunning immersion into the world of Merzbow during one of the project's most engrossing and important period's, Urashima’s latest, the first ever vinyl reissue of the project's legendary 1990 release, 'Rainbow Electronics', is a truly historic event. A monumental work of few parallels, even 30 years after its initial release, it still challenges the fundamental notions of what music is perceived to be.
Incapacitants
** Ltd 299, with 12” size insert. Includes extensive notes by Toshiji Mikawa in Japanese with translation by Kato David Hopkins in English.** It’s a great moment for reissues of ambitious, historical gestures of the noise from Japan. One after the other, these artifacts have emerged from the shadows, entirely rewriting what so many of us thought we knew. Now, at long last, before us rest another piece in the puzzle - the first ever release of one of the most sought-after artifacts from the 80s n…
Stau & Foehn
Elisha Morningstar produces abstract sound pieces through manipulation of different kind of sources. Tape loops, concrete parts, harsh noise .. if the elements of this release have been widely developed in a myriad of outputs, what makes this one unique is the way in which these elements are used to tell a story, the project of Francesco Tignola (Joy de vivre, Drug Age) has in fact a unique approach and is highly cinematic in assembling and relating these elements.Born and raised in Naples the p…

Death Ceremonies
**400 copies**Death Ceremonies is the darkest, most primitive death industrial record, soaked throughout with the smell of rotting corpses and burning bodies. Controlled Death (Masonna) features Maso Yamazaki's most compulsive Korg MS-20 drones and obsessive, disturbing vocals, drenched with anxiety and alienation. Dense atmospheres of doom, death, and decay build up just to break away in deep paranoia. Rudolf Eb.er (Schimpfluch) scratches a near-dead violin over horrifying synth tones, celebrat…
不安な演奏
Tip! **10CD collection in black wooden box with laser engraving and closure with a numbered certificate in 300 copies** Absolute backers of sound research that goes beyond the restrictions of the obvious and the frivolous are certainly The Gerogerigegege, a bizarre musical project born in 1985 in Shinjuku, one of the largest and most populated neighbourhoods in Tokyo, known for its gay community active since the 60s, led by the mysterious figure of the musician and composer Juntaro Yamanouchi. T…

Untitled 1980
Limited edition 62 numbered copies. Here is a MB's note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, I've only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because I'm not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "Untitled 1980" tape is an old tape without title found from a friend of mine, and I called it this way because its without ti…
Drowning in a Sea of Bliss
Mannequin Records celebrate 40 years of Nocturnal Emissions with a reissue of Drowning in a Sea of Bliss, originally released on Sterile Records in 1983. Drowning in a Sea of Bliss is dominated by a sheer violent noise which dissolves back and forth between found sounds, cut-ups and rhythmic, hypnotic beats, in the vein of Nurse With Wound, Cabaret Voltaire, and early Throbbing Gristle. Drowning in a Sea of Bliss was placed #58 in the FACT's Magazine 100 Best Albums of the 1980s. The Nocturnal E…

Das Testament
Amazing remix album by the Czech Opening Performance Orchestra. Opening Performance Orchestra using the very noisy Das Testament from 1983 by M.B. are able to make an even more abrasive and challenging work than the original. Possibly one of the best M.B. remix album we have listened to in a long time. Very Recommended! Edition of 200 copies in digipack with 8 pages booklet with text in Italian, Czech and English.
Simphonie In X Major
Edition of 300 copies in digipack. Re-issue of noise classic Simphonie in X Major (1989) plus Simphonie in O Minor (1991).Quoting audion magazine' The New Blockaders certainly make one hell of a racket. Simphonie In X Major makes Whitehouse sound like minimal art! 'TNB are in a world of their own and always have been. Ripped out of the grooves and positively bleeding out of the speakers Simphonie In X Major takes Stockhausen's baby and abuses it cruelly. Once the bloody and battered carcass has…
Grudge For Life: A Book About Ramleh
**360 pages; Hardback Cover** “I don’t see myself as being in charge. It is an equal partnership. We only do things that we both want to do. If I love an idea and Anthony doesn’t, I will work on it solo, as I would expect him to do if I wasn’t sure about an idea of his. Other people that help out have a lot of creative input in that we rarely tell anyone what to do. It’s up to them but, after the recordings are made, it is up to me and Anthony to decide what to do with the material we have. More…
