Catalogue (LP)
* Deluxe Edition limited and numbered to 99 copies in 200g vinyl and metallic sleeve * 1979, the year of the album Catalogue. Jac Berrocal and his “Marquises of disorder” make the guitars rattle in primrose-sprayed vomit, patchwork of uncontrollable slows, furious accordion (Claude Parle) and martial rocks. Kind of “Micro-cinemas put end-to-end”, a maelstrom of cries and saturation which, paradoxically, an album that is worth the respect of the Punks and the contempt of jazz purists. Berrocal i…

Aéroproducts
**150 copies, clear vinyl** Rotorelief presents a reissue of Alésia Cosmos' Aéroproducts, originally released in 1985, with bonus material.

The dazzling epic of the magic combo has bec…
Vibrating Cloud
Over 5 Decades Sand is a timeless narrative machine full of pictures and scenarios, each title a unique piece that stands alone. The vibrating cloud floats powerfully across the vast expanses of sand, telling stories of confusion and aberration, rape of the planet, of the tenderness, hidden power and fragility of existence, the voracious digital demons, the loss of innocence in a surreal drama we call: World.
North Atlantic Raven
Previously unreleased album by German trio Sand, composed and recorded in 1973, '75, and '76. The once-croaking raven now flies silently over the ocean, higher and higher.

There is something magical and inexplicable in creation, and Sand absolutely manifest these mysterious phenomena. Storytellers, musicians, sham…

Realite De L'Automation Directe
Superb re-issue of 2nd cassette release from 1983! The true futuristic/bruitistic industrial machine sound from this French master! "Bruitism is the representation of a living, biological body, not unrelated but on the contrary intimate to the substance. The nature/technique gap is totally, in The Art of Noises, the most accomplished form of a reconciliation with industrial mechanization. By highlighting the autonomy of the dialectical movement in its inaugural tension, bruitism reestablishes th…
Premiere Unite Bruitiste
Entre Vifs were a crucial late '80s French industrial band. Premiere Unite Bruitiste is their previously-unreleased debut album from 1986. The band was led by Zorin, musician and visual propagandist in the legendary Le Syndicat.Their fascination with chaos, strength, and violence was not motivated by provocation but by the sheer pleasure of manipulating noise material. "Of all the noise I've listened to, Entre Vifs is perhaps the only group who directly influenced my sound and technique." --Rodg…
