France Demos
Feedback drenched noise for the classic 'France' demos from japanese psych noise legend Les Rallizes Denudes "This just might be the single greatest side of OTT psych/noise guitar oblivion ever put to disc from the most legendary Japanese underground group of all time, Les Rallizes Denudes: the mysteriously-named France Demo Tapes have previously only circulated on wildly dubious CD-R burns, often with contradictory and conflicting track listings/material but the session (whether it was actually…
Tapetopia 003: GDR Underground Tapes 1984 - 1989
* Edition of 500 * In the short but tumultuous life of the East Berlin Impro-Punk band Klick & Aus, they played an amalgamation of Proto-Punk and Post-Punk influenced by acts from both East and West including The Galloping Coroners, Captain Beefheart and Cabaret Voltaire. The Klick & Aus sound breathed restlessness and petulance, like a company of soldiers always simmering for battle, but refusing to march in step. During the Christmas season of the waning Orwellian year 1984 the band recorded t…
Aicha

We're excited to announce that we've once again worked with the Gania family of Essaouira to bring you another reissue of the music of the undisputed King of Gnawa music, the late Maalem Mahmoud Gania.

Mutant songs, hypnotic spoken words, obsessive synthesizers, in a must-check payload for fans of Nurse With Wound, Edward Ka Spel, Coil and the like.A legend of "cassette cultur…
Emerald Tablet / Echoes
Another superb mystic and meditative harmonics originally release by ALM and now fully reissued.
Mandala Trilogy +1
Buddhist chant vocalization and infinity ambient abyss transform into superb mystic and meditative harmonics
Palepoli
Third album, and Osanna best one, "Palepoli", from 1973 sees the band at their peak. The album only contains three long tracks and is housed in a nice gatefold whose inner picture is based on the band live stage background. 18 minutes of sheer heavy progdom is 'Oro Caldo', a raw jambalaya of moody atmosphere, experimental samplings, greasy garage dirt, and some flat out classic symphonic prog with a great-sounding mellotron - and other unique and wonderful synth sounds - from Lino Vairetti.…
Une Collection des Chainons I and II: Music for Spiral
WRWTFWW Records announce a reissue of both volumes of Yoshio Ojima's superb environmental music project Une Collection Des Chaînons I And II: Music For Spiral, originally released in 1988.

This marks the inaugural release from the Esplanade Series by WRWTFWW Records, which focuses on the works of Ojima and friends.

Quinta Dimensione
Superb and obscure Italian soundtrack featuring psychedelic mood music from the obscure RAI television program "... Con Un Colpo Di Bacchetta." centered around the 'Extra Sensory perception' phenomenon, released by an equally obscure group from Genoa, formed by students in 1978 and released this album and a single for the Eleven label (Franco Leprino) the same year. A trully bizzare effort of Avant Garde weirdness, Classical education, acoustic mysticism and deep experimentation, which breaks an…
不安な演奏
Tip! **10CD collection in black wooden box with laser engraving and closure with a numbered certificate in 300 copies** Absolute backers of sound research that goes beyond the restrictions of the obvious and the frivolous are certainly The Gerogerigegege, a bizarre musical project born in 1985 in Shinjuku, one of the largest and most populated neighbourhoods in Tokyo, known for its gay community active since the 60s, led by the mysterious figure of the musician and composer Juntaro Yamanouchi. T…

It’s been going since 2001, and since then the project has put out around two hundred releases taking in solo album, splits and compilations on Cdr, cassettes, vinyl and Cd format.

Initially influenced by the work of Chop Shop, theme wise the project often focus in on sci-…
Untitled 1980
Limited edition 62 numbered copies. Here is a MB's note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, I've only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because I'm not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "Untitled 1980" tape is an old tape without title found from a friend of mine, and I called it this way because its without ti…

Y
Remastered 40th Anniversary version of Y - the highly influential and innovative debut album by The Pop Group, released in 1979. In the same year The Pop Group released their single She is Beyond Good and Evil / 3:38. The album was produced by reggae veteran Dennis Bovell to critical acclaim but low sales figures. Emerging in the late-'70s post-punk era, this militant gang of leftist radical politicos from Bristol specialised in a funk-driven cacophony of sound that was abrasive, strident, and u…
Puissance 13+2
Much needed reissue a famous double album originally released on the very collectable Theleme label that has all otherwise unavailable performances by a large number of French artists, recorded live in the park of the Chateau d'Herouville."The atmosphere was wonderful throughout all of the recording sessions, sessions recorded in the open air, in the sunshine, amongst friends. We were motivated simply by the desire to play music, the music we love the way we wanted to play it. All the tit…
Gudang Garam
First time on CD by this progressive lost Swedish music jewel. The 2nd out of 2 albums, whereof the debut "Tramsebox" was released in '75. This '78 release contained 8 tracks filled with extensive use of moog and guitars and female vocals by Carin Bohlin, taking the musical journey to it's highlight in the 15 minute "Flugornas morgon". Have some nice krautrockish keyboard sequences, as well as a UK progressive touch, an album standing in their own corner, and hard to compare with other.

After inviting their fans to create original versions of the band's songs, The Residents were blown away by the submission of 197 amazing pieces of music.

Kokotsu No Sekai
Although Ike Reiko was a mere 17 years of age when she recorded 1971's Kokotsu No Sekai, she was already a star in the world of Japanese erotic movies. Despite the tough-gal image, the music is pretty darn life-affirming, so don't think for a second you're getting an easy listening album here -- this is about as sexual as music can get. Throw "French Kiss" out of the window and give a kiss goodbye to your Serge Gainsbourg records, Ike Reiko is more sizzling than a branding iron as it makes its m…
