quicksilver logic / ekati
Finnish artist Tommi Keränen deliver 4 minutes of blasting harsh noise a la Bats In The Attick era. Fierce movements and an insane composition which this time seem even more focused and compressed. Lettera 22 on the other side play a fast and frantic track made by mixer shortcuts, feedbacks and tape saturation. Always in balance between noise and electroacustic with an unique proto-industrial feel.Cut at 45rpm.Edition of 100
Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their …
Sacred Trails
Terrific new release by the cult 'a dear girl called Wendy' italian label: this recordings are a natural progression from the recent "Förruttnelsen" LP on Release The Bats. Like before filthy and decaying reel-to-reel/cassette/tape-echo loops, electronics, junk, field recordings, feedback blasts is mixed with industrial decay and creepy dynamic noise. Minimalistic textures raped by tapeloops, field recordings and junk abuse. Just raw electronics. Organic machine music. No happiness there. 7"…

Sissy Spacek
Just arrived, stellar release as usual! FIRST EDITION ON VINYL!!! In 1999 SISSY SPACEK made their first recordings as a more or less "conventional" blur/grindcore duo consisting of CORYDON RONNAU (vocals) and JOHN WIESE (bass and drum machine). Shortly after, the band entered a recycling period in which Wiese produced a number of albums and EPs, the first of which was this s/t CD (originally released on Helicopter), transforming their original source material into hardcore musique conc…
Vague Maze
Pain Jerk and John Wiese are two titans of noise. Their collaborations are not a new. This is the stunning prologue, the first one, dated 2005. 7 minutes of synthesizers, electronics, noise.

Limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies, one time presssing
To Noisetherion
Obscure artist from Italy, harsh noise with not so dynamic structures, junk abuse, no space for field recordings or concrete parts. A brutal assault, perfect mix between early Bastard Noise era and 90s Japanese scene.
Predators
European tour 7". Two 5 minute studio tracks of processed underwater recordings. Bayonet and diving knife scrapings in a steel basin, recorded closely and then processed to breaking point. Limited edition of 200 copies.
CD Box 1970-1973
Massive 7xCD box set compiling rare material by the great alto screamer Kaoru Abe is the lost wild legend of '70s Japanese free jazz. In the short space of his tempestuous life, he burnt a path which has served as a map for a whole generation of Japanese artists to follow who would call themselves 'free' in any sense of the word whatsoever. Though he performed live frequently in his day, his releases were sporadic, many of them emerging after his untimely death in 1978, and on a string of Japane…
Duo
Recordings from Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani. Kiyoshi was a member of Merzbow in the 80's and has made solo works since 1989, though main man Masami Akita has been the backbone of the band since 1979. These recordings are mainly from the '87-'89 era, but some of the earliest recordings were released in 1979. The first Merzbow tour abroad was in 1988 in Russia, featuring Masami Akita and Kiyoshi Mizutani. The second was in Europe (Holland, Germany, and France) in 1989 where Kiyoshi als…

Tibetan slide art (the Come Organisation Files)

Cassette releases on the Come Organistaion Label, hence the Liebstandarte SS prefix, added by William Bennet…
Weight
Nolan Throop is well known for his solo project Kakerlak and several brilliant collaborations. Parallel to this has always cultivated a passion for industrial and the more obscure noise, in constant progression through its project vergraben before and rumination now. Short tracks, monotonous and percussive, sounding like a degraded version of the SPK. Old drum machines, junk metal loops and radio voices that create industrial marches covered with a thick dose of negativity…
Suppression In The Third
Jason Crumer likes what you like: noise, girls, getting wasted once in while and maybe a spot of trouble here and there. He first started blowing minds as guitarist in the insane sludge punk core outfits Aluminum Noise and Facedowninshit. As well as the ultra-weirdo outfits American Band, Now In Darkness World Stops Turning and Amazing Grace. Since going solo in 2005 he's released fascinating and brainmelting USA noise death on labels like Iatrogenesis, Audiobot, Ignivomous, RRR, Nazot, Chondrit…

This was the start of noise as entertainment rather than entertaining. personal communication became lost. noise becam…
Limb
Subtitled Minimal Compositions, Instrumentals, and Experiments 1980-1983, J.G. Thirlwell's CD-DVD retrospective casts an entirely new and surprising light on his already diverse and infamous Foetus moniker. Some of these songs are close to being 30 years old, however they share more in common with Thirlwell's Manorexia and Steroid Maximus projects than with anything found on albums like Hole or Nail. Steeped in the theory and aesthetics of modern composition, Limb is a revelatory collection th…
Gene-P
'Gene P' was released as a cassette in 1980, and among the true Bianchi devotees old = best.On the first track (both tracks are untitled) Bianchi uses tape-loops of what could vaguely sound like gamelan music, or wind chimes. Its music with not many changes, music that is not loud and actually quite pleasing.The other side is more experimental. It uses vinyl, scratchy vinyl that is, with the needle jumping all over the place. Its a bit much experiment for the sake of experiment for me here. A mo…
