Evidences Vol.1 - Final Industrial Music 1980
Staggeringly deluxe box sets from VOD. This label stands on top of the mountain, looking down pitifully at all the dirt-diggers below trying to scrap their way up the side. How do they do it?? "The 5LP box contains his tape-material from 1980: Mectpyo/Blut 1 & Mectpyo Blut 2 (1979/80), Atomique/Murder, Gene-P, Nervo/Hydra, Technology 2, all officially unreleased material on vinyl.
Mutation For A Continuity
Very few are aware of the beginning of Maurizio Bianchi's adventures? Before starting the complex and compelling production of many records and tapes in the early eighties under the M.B. trademark, Maurizio Bianchi was documenting the new music scene writing essays and reviews for independent magazines. It was August 1979 in Milan, Italy and his sound was strengthening when he felt the time had come to prove his desire for something new. So he started his first solo project, under the name Sache…
The Plain Truth
2014 repress, originally released in 2000. First issued on the Broken Flag label in the UK in an edition of 500 in 1983. A different style, providing some distance from all his previous works; a more expansive experimentation with multiple layers of synthesizer sounds. Still very intense. M.B.'s recordings come closest to classical electronics, but always with a very personal style. This CD edition also features an interview on Radio Popolare in Milan from 1/1/83. An English translation i…
Armaghedon
2014 repress, originally released in 2000. Private LP edition of 300 copies in 1984. This record is the soundtrack to a film with the same title, produced and directed by Maurizio Bianchi. For obscure reasons, the original LP remained unavailable for a long time, and was distributed only one year after it was printed. Moreover, most of the copies were destroyed. Less than 100 actually exist. This was M.B.'s last vinyl production, and also the only one featuring recordings of the artist's…
Endometrio
2014 repress. Originally issued as a private LP edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for synthetic sounds and electronically generated noises. Here M.B. distanced himself from the movement of the industrial Bruitists, introducing his "bionic music." Notwithstanding the difficulty of listening, especially upon initial impact, you are facing treated and filtered synthetic sounds that become new organisms -- sound cells analyzed under the microscope. This CD also includes excerpts …
Das Testament
2014 repress. The second batch of the complete M.B. reissue program continues, once again issued by EEs'T (in conjunction with Alga Marghen) as a series of five separate CDs, or altogether as a box set. The CDs have been mastered to digital under the supervision of Maurizio Bianchi himself; each CD features the original artwork, the complete documentation (liner notes, reviews, statements) as well as bonus tracks. Reissue of a private LP edition of 300 copies in 1983. M.B.: electronics, rh…
Carcinosi
"Originally issued as a private LP in an edition of 400 copies in 1983. MB de-composition for bionic organisms and concrete sounds. A sound that refuses both the cold logic of the fetish electronic computer-man-of-the-year and the sterile exasperation of the negative. A sound that dilutes and coagulates, eluding the listeners with minimal variations that make the cyclic style of Phillip Glass resemble a carousel of colors. This CD also features two untitled tracks first issued on compilation cas…
Ansätze Zum Taumel
From the first split second on Krube. grabs your attention with his
hyper tight musique concrete that combines sounds from everyday objects,
body openings and non-definable machinery. An old accordion may surface
but it doesn't prevent him from continuing straightforward cut-ups,
thus exploring scary maybe even unknown territory. If he's to perform at
your local venue, leave mama at home and witness. Raionbashi's bunker
soundscape seems to be breathing with anxiety. In celebration of his
…

At the very beginning of Survival Research Laboratories in 1978, the group's founder Mark Pauline predicted that people would eventually start building their own technology in order to seize control of the very violence that characterizes the age we live in. Survival Research Laboratories was conceived and founded by Mark Pauline in November 1978. Since its inception, SRL has operated as an organization of creative technicians dedicated to re-directing the techniques, tools, and tenets of…

Cocaine Death
Cocaine Death is a compilation of three of Prurient's finest Hospital cassette releases as well as two unreleased tracks. The previously released material forms a triptych exploring the relationship between futile pleasure, substance and escape; escape being a myth. Cocaine Death (originally C-10 packaged in an envelope, limited to 46 copies) is perhaps the most sought after of the recent Prurient cassettes. The content is based on the glamour and destruction of toxic nightlife. The B-side featu…
Pleasure Ground
As the dust settles and your tinnitus roars back to life, you wonder about Prurient. Last ear blast on Load, Black Vase went for the jugular from the git go with sporadic percussion and piercing square toned filthy noise. Just the thing for a rough day during a U.S.-sponsored war. This time out, Pleasure Ground oozes with a new shade of grey from the crayon set. A new dark waved sensibility takes hold. The seconds after a corpse appears on a riverbank, and the 'what the fuck am I gonna do' slips…
Tionchor
cardboard digipack edition, 11-page booklet features recording details and discography. All the tracks had appeared on different compilations (from X / 1982 to VII / 1986) before they where restored and compiled during 1986 for Tiochor which was released II / 1987 as LP (Selektion SLP 013). Three bonus tracks (recorded 1987 - 1991 ; N° 16 - 18) have been added for this CD reissue
Synth destruction
Over 60 minutes of total analog destruction by noise king Merzbow and Brooklyn noise boss Carlos Giffoni, this live collaboration was recorded during Giffoni's Synth Destruction Japan tour in September of 2006. This is Sound Totalism and is as heavy as it comes: totally brutal, totally ugly, totally beautiful, totally intense, totally classic, totally analog, total synth and total destruction. Intense artwork by Jenny Akita. Author, activist, painter and sound artist Masami Akita had been at the…
Zophorus
Japan's king of noise returns with Zophorus. Speaker massaging pulsations of psychic skree & frequency abuse housed in a deluxe 5 color digipak designed by Masami Akita, in february of 2007.
Genocidio 20
Italian composer maurizio bianchi (1955) produced his first tapes of noise in the early 1980s, at the peak of the industrial scene, but his chaotic dissonant orgies harked back to the musique concrete of the 1950s, despite similarities with Nocturnal Emissions, Metabolist, Whitehouse, early Throbbing Gristle.

Tapes 1990-1999
Lasse Marhaug released between 60 to 70 cassette tapes in the 90-ies. These tapes were released in limited quantities in the noise/metal underground and have been unavailable for years, so for many this will be the first time to hear this music. From the early cut-up voice and turntable experiments, to the later full-on wall-of-sound scrap metal noise. Mostly solo work (none of Marhaug's work with Origami Replika is represented), but there's also collaboration tracks with artists like Macronymph…
ktl 2
This is the second full-length release by KTL, the formidable collaboration between Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))), Khanate, etc.) and Peter Rehberg (Pita, etc.). Devastatingly beautiful four-part follow up to the highly acclaimed debut CD, recorded in a former abattoir in Angers, as well as a 16th century manor in the extreme west of France. Taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic build up of "Theme," the near-psychedelic "Abattoir," and closing wi…
