Thank Your Lucky Stars
Dirter Promotions is very excited to announce the first appearance in vinyl since 1990 of the Whitehouse's Steve Albini-produced classic Thank Your Lucky Stars LP, this time around as a luxuriously expanded double LP set.

A special CD edition followed in 1997 on CD with extra tracks from other sessions in Chicago recorded around that time. This limited do…

It comes packaged in a beautiful six panel digipack with full-color Babs Santini artwork, all finished in a luxurious "soft touch lamination." "Sucked Orange was not conceived as an album.

Songs featured in VBS's films 'Vice Guide To Liberia' and 'Mandingo'.

Rupture
This CD is the first collaboration of Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound and composer/sculptor Graham Bowers. It is, without doubt, one of the best things we have ever released. It's an extremely unnerving, but also hauntingly moving listening experience.The work is an attempt to create a musical illustration of the "goings-on" in the brain during the last hour and three minutes of a life after suffering a major stroke. It is multi-layered and is primarily concerned with the internal chaos caus…
Mind mangled trip monster
"Mind Mangled Trip Monster is the first CD in Andrew Liles' every growing and highly collectible 'Monster' series of releases. Mind Mangled Trip Monster features the amazing and ethereal vocal talents of Elisabeth Oswell. Elisabeth features throughout this album that can be best described as an unexpected musical departure for Andrew Liles. Think solar flares, autumn sunsets, stories form from far away places and bad trips. This acid tinged, other worldly and hypnotic album has a total of …
Hell driver
'Performed, recorded by Juntaro Yamanouchi. Five years recordings 1992-1996. No overdubs. No EQ. No effect. As final tribute.'
The miraculous mechanical monster
'The Miraculous Mechanical Monster is the latest addition to the ever growing and highly collectible 'Monster' series from Andrew Liles. The Miraculous Mechanical Monster is in part a concept LP that tells a tale of malfunctioning robots, monsters and bizarre sex. With robotic narration throughout, the story can be followed by reading the text on the back of the LP. As with all of Andrew Liles' output this LP fits into no established musical genre and is arguably one of his strangest and …

Another Merzbow records
'We kick-off 2010 with possibly the most essential Merzbow release for many years. This 3CD set is culled from appearances on various compilations, ranging from the most obscure cassette releases, to long out of print gems on labels such as Blast First and Susan Lawly. This material spans an entire decade from 1991 to 2001 and as such, tells its own story of the development and sonic chicanery that is the Merzbow sound during this time. If you only own one Merzbow work, this is the one to…
No Birds Do Sing
Everyone's belle de jour Diana Rogerson and Andrew Liles got together to create what we regard as one of the most considered and well conceived albums Liles has been part of. 'No Birds do Sing' can only be described as a hallucinogenic voyage of disconcerting mysticism and cosmic pandemonium and is a recording he's very proud of. This disc is a completely black and comes in a stunning super high gloss digipack with wonderful artwork by Babs Santini.

Det Skjedde Noe Når Du Var I Belgia
A thirteen year time warp and the bizarre narrative of a humble Norwegian discussing Ôtopical Belgian issues' from the very edge of West Yorkshire makes this a very strange recording indeed. Former Mayhem front man Maniac (Skitliv, Sehnsucht, Bomberos) has teamed up with Andrews Liles and Czral (Virus, Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir, Dodheimsgard) to release an album that he and Czral began working on in 1996. The 14-track album will have the title 'Det Skjedde Noe NŒr Du Var I Belgia' (Something Hap…
Too Many Miles: Complete Singles 90-95
This is the CD collection of all the long-unavailable Ramleh singles spanning the years 1990-1995, now reissued due to Ramleh's sprawling 6-page feature in The Wire (issue #305, July 2009). Ramleh's history goes back to the early '80s, when their brand of "power electronics" caused outrage, along with their contemporaries Whitehouse. Much has changed since then, and over the years, they developed a reputation as one of the leading exponents of UK "noise rock." Along with the likes of Skullflower…
