Wagamama Na Ofukuro
Tip! ** Limited edition to 299 copies ** In 1987, Nakahara Masaya founded the project Violent Onsen Geisha, which quickly became one of the most well-known and influential names in the Japanese noise music scene, distinctive among others for frequently displaying a bizarre, sarcastic, and mischievous sense of humor. The band's name, which translates to "violent hot springs geisha," is a reference to the traditional Japanese practice of hot spring bathing, as well as a nod to Nakahara's confront…
Purgatory (LP)
* Limited edition of 199 copies, * Monde Bruits is a Japanese experimental noise project formed in the early 1990s, from the brainchild of Iwasaki Shōhei. The sound has been compared to other experimental noise acts of the time, such as Merzbow, Hijokaidan or Incapacitants. However, Monde Bruits' approach to noise is distinct, incorporating elements of musique concrète, industrial, and free improvisation which raw and bristly aesthetic.

Pulse Demon
*Holographic Cover* Pulse Demon probably is the most iconic, most representative and best known album in the japanoise scene and Merzbow discography.

Amour et Sepulcre
Debut LP by the new creepy and romantic basement organ project of Romain Perrot (Vomir). The other night I dreamt about a parallel universe in which Klaus Schulze had some sort of government-paid job installing contact mics and analog synths (which I suspect was mainly to annoy Tangerine Dream) in all the big European cathedrals to "modernize" the pipe organs. I told him how they used to make cobwebs in the early Dracula movies; you punch a small hole in a yogurt pot full of liquid latex attache…

In process of stocking* Grain Belt was a project formed in 2008 in Minneapolis by Joe Beres (Willful, Small Doses label), Oskar Brummel (Wince, White Centipede Noise) and Sam Stoxen (Baculum, Phage Tapes). The goal was basically to make noise as possible with just a few pieces of scrap metal and distortion pedals. For several years, it was treated like a real band with proper rehearsals, frequent live performances and a small tour in 2010. This CD compiles all previo…

Cloud Cock OO Grand
**Limited Edition of 299 copies.** Merzbow came roaring onto the Tokyo scene in 1979. To this day, the project remains one of the most prolific and aggressively forward-thinking acts in experimental music. Initially a duo of Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani, before settling as the moniker of Akita alone, the project took its name from German artist Kurt Schwitters' pre-war architectural assemblage, The Cathedral of Erotic Misery or Merzbau, and quickly set out to challenge entrenched notions of…
Inner Mind Mystique
**Limited Edition of 299 copies + Poster** Along with Merzbow, Incapacitants and Hijokaidan, Masonna is one of the best (known) Japanese noise projects. A psychedelic touch, cascades of electronic noise and vocal belching mixed together constitute the ingredients of Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé, the double-barrelled named for Masonna. Yamazaki “Maso” Takushi created Masonna in 1987 and simultaneously he started recordings on cassette tapes and seven inches for his own…
Highdrophobia
Limited Edition of 199 copies. Solmania is a Japanese noise music project founded in 1984 by Masahiko Ohno. The hallmark of this amazing artist, who builds his experimental electric guitars from spare parts, is his freakish ability to use the stringed instrument by generating absolutely unique sounds, both in his live performances and recordings. The guitars used by Masahiko Ohno are multi-neck guitars and harp guitars and take on extremely bizarre shapes, using unconventional body shapes, extra…
For The Happiness Of The World
Tip! *In process of stocking* We are more than proud to pull this trickster out of his shadowy abode and display him to the world. Finally, the album many of us have been waiting for but don't deserve. Cracksteel, M.B., Robert Ashley's Wolf Man, Monde Bruits, British and Italian mischiefs from the 1980's - all filtered through the mind of our menacing court jester. The outcome is as colorful as it is lethal. Wild sonics, sharp corners and contrasts.
Neuter
Reissue of the Spate CD-R originally released in 2021 on Robert Fuchs: The runt sibling of Cray-2, riddled with innate faults and inbred incompatibles. Forced to perform, pulling off tragic and frenzied handstands like the bear on the barrel. While the Health and Happiness in the 21st Century release on Robert Fuchs two months prior could be said to reflect the sound of fine equipment of its day far past its prime, this cd from the project Spate presents an early, impassioned bid at serious tech…

Chaos State
On a truly incredible run which shows no signs of slowing down, “Chaos State” is the latest full length from Linekraft. Using the skeleton of material from the extremely limited Chaos State I and II cassettes, these eight tracks were reconstructed from 2018-2022: the resulting audio should serve as industrial anthems for revolutions new and old. “This is industrial music that records the state of mind of a lone wolf who was witnessed by a man. I tried to find “the way” with digging up my own Cha…
