1965/1 (Spur Der Zeit)
Edition of 160 copies. Roman Opalka (1931-2011) was probably the most insisting conceptual artist of the last century. In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Opalka began painting numbers from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a 'detail', took up counting where the last left off. In 1968 Opalka introduced to the process a tape reco…

Flapper That
Concentrated, Bendy Acid From Computer Rave Hooligans Evol, debuting their first release for Diagonal. RIYL: Belgian Techno, Licking Batteries, Coloured Plastic Discs!* "‘Flapper That’ sees Diagonal invite EVOL — arch propagators of “computer music for hooligans” — to their own, unique establishment for a proper headshrinker of a session. Since Diagonal’s incarnation, EVOL’s hardcore aesthetic and sense of absurdity has been a key influence on the label and Powell’s DJ sets. In effect, 'F…
Piteous Gate
Following his acclaimed 2014 Scythians EP (PAN 052EP), M.E.S.H. returns to PAN with his debut album, the opulent and dystopian Piteous Gate. Alongside fellow members of Berlin's Janus collective, behind nights at Berghain and Corsica Studios, M.E.S.H. is known for his futurist approach to club dynamics and production. On Piteous Gate, tightly gridded and sculpted sound juts up against loose-wristed improvisation, automated processes, and collage. Standard club syncopation is twisted by slidi…
Risveglio
Limited gatefold double LP version. Though known as a touring and recording musician associated with Nine Inch Nails, Alessandro Cortini has really come into his own via his Forse trilogy, and his 2014 Hospital Productions debut, Sonno (HOS 412CD). For his Hospital follow-up, he maintains the grittiness and intimacy introduced on his debut, but expands on it, offering a wider spectrum of emotion and depth. Like Sonno, Risveglio was written and recorded while on tour. The drive to create intima…
Strange celestial road
2015 repress. Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. "The music on the record gives a strong indication of the willingness to experiment, the desire to take changes. You will hear young voices new to the test alongside the experience magnificence of Sun Ra and John Gillmore, the unsung tenor giant who has earned the praises of John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, and if that isn't peer group recognition of the highest sort, I don't know what is. There's plenty of safe records all around you. But if …
Live
"Inspired by those classic '70s bootlegs, Al Cisneros, who besides his work with Om has been laying down the low end with Sleep since day one, wanted to capture the raw live feel of Om's 2013 European tour on vinyl. Housed in a plain white sleeve with a paste-on wraparound cover, Liveharkens back to the days when you rifled through the back bins of your local record store searching for the latest 'import' releases from Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. We've kept that Trademark of Quality spirit with…

These LP’s have been unavailable individually on vinyl in their original format/ running order for donkeys years (Rephlex reissued both as a four 10” set back in 2004 with each record grouping tracks by the individual artists).

Ultra Primitiv
Edition of 100 copies. "Finest Gothenburg duo Heinz Hopf returns with their second LP, always on Wendy. Dan Johansson and Matthias Andresson created maybe the definitvie harsh noise record. Their noise is solid, dense, created with metal and feedback abuse, with right mix of power to experimental touch, but with a hint of pure pleasure. 40 minutes of pure harsh noise worship. If you vote for Incapacitants, grab this LP. Deluxe packaging, inner printer sleeve, printed labels, black vinyl.
Through The Imperial Family
Edition of 100 copies. One-sided LP. "Matteo Castro is one of the most active figure in noise scene. His new solo project Mercury Hall is distant for every thing he did before. Forgotten for a second his harsh noise roots, Castro delivers a long track of concrete music in honor of european artists from ’60. This is music is for sleepless nights created by ancient sounds, stolen memories and countryside silences. Deluxe packaging, inner printer sleeve, printed labels, transparent green viny…

Friction
“Friction” is a compression of the two first official tapes of Brume, “Frikture” 1985 and “Le jour du cochon” 1986/87, also including an unreleased that closes the end of side A of this vinylic reissue. A very experimental period, electro-ethnico-indus orientated because Brume went from “all analogical” to the first numeric tests, electroacoustic, to make an hybrid synthesis until today with the computer.
Unfinished Portrait Of Youth Today
For years now Hanno Leichtmann has been one of the most prolific protagonists of Berlin's electronic music scene and beyond: as experimental percussionist and electronic artist Leichtmann has released several albums under his real name, aliases such as Static and The Vulva String Quartet or in bands like Groupshow (with Jan Jelinek and Andrew Pekler) or Denseland (with David Moss and Hannes Strobl) on labels like City Centre Offices, Karaoke Kalk, M=Minimal, Dekorder and Staubgold. Leichtmann al…
Torso (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale)
The legendary Torso (1973), considered one of the precursors of the slasher genre, was directed by Sergio Martino following the success of All the Colors of the Dark (1972), featuring a stunning soundtrack composed by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis also known as Oliver Onions. "I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale" was directed in 1973 by the italian Thriller specialist Sergio Martino ("il tuo vizio è una stanza.", "lo strano vizio della signora Ward"). With time passing the movie has beco…
Moon Gas
There is a distinct possibility that this is the greatest record ever recorded before 1968. Space age bachelor pad music meets concrete music. 1963 was the recording date ! Unbelievable. Strange synths, oscillators and custom made electric guitars with help of the lowrey organ. No words can really describe this record. The jazz genre spawned a couple of quite colorful subspecies that were part of important pop cultural movements to let the ordinary man escape from the daily grind. Two…
Luna Africana
Clara Mondshine was a musical project of the late radio director, journalist, and composer Walter Bachauer, who worked for RIAS Berlin in the '70s and '80s. Mr. Bachauer was also involved as musician in projects with electronic artist Peter Michael Hamel and krautrock act Between in the '70s. With Clara Mondshine he was able to score three albums before his untimely passing in 1989; Luna Africana, originally released in 1981, is the first of these, and it fits exactly into that era, when the…
The Unexplained
Electronic impressions of the occult, reissued for the first time. The late, great Mort Garson (1924-2008) was a hotshot of electronic music's pioneering days, known for his groundbreaking occult works such as The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds (1967) and Lucifer: Black Mass (1971). A different side of his creativity emerged in his 1976 Plantasia project (FD 5003CD/LP), an inspired album of Moog compositions to be played for growing plants. The previous year he released this hypnotizing album, which ta…
Spasmo
Dagored follows its sold-out Record Store Day 2015 editions of this soundtrack with this transparent vinyl edition, presented in a deluxe transparent plastic cover. This great score for Umberto Lenzi's 1974 cult thriller Spasmo, by the maestro Ennio Morricone, creates a disorienting and disturbing effect, with unusual, almost avant-garde-like sounds, instrumentation, and composition. Dagored presents the complete score on vinyl for the first time, available in two Record Store Day editions…
Unstable
The involvement in the improbable challenge of a collaboration with another musical entity takes on its full meaning when the two characters have radically different personalities ! In 2001, the merger of Brume with the American project Bastard Noise could have seem surreal ! One works in the field of Musique concrete, and the others in what we can call Power electronics, making their own sound generators (DIY). The first album of this association materialised with a very successful CD! 2012… po…
Chantepleure
"The trajectory of Alex Cobb's music over the course of the last decade could be viewed as a distillation of tone and atmosphere to arrive at Chantepleure, his most optimistic and sanguine musical statement to date. The album, however, was created at a time of heartache, isolation, and emotional upheaval and acts as a balm of tender tones where abstract guitar lines circle and suspend in a kind of refined elegance. Noise, once a hallmark of Cobb's music, has not been entirely removed, but manife…
