Reissues
Sky Blue Void
Matthew Bower's Total released 'Sky Blue Void' in 1994 through Freek, recorded the same year as previous NOHL reissue Skullflower's "Last Shot at Heaven." "Sky Blue Void" is the zoner of zoners, as heavenly and crushing as the rapturous cover art suggests. Release yourself to the void.
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel A…
Merzbow Mixed Total
The two masters, thousands of miles apart, released this fearsome collaboration in 1997 on Sterilized Decay. Matthew Bower's source sounds were processed, mangled and reassembled by Masami Akita for 50 minutes of unbridled destruction. At once a summation and reconfiguration of both artist's incredible work throughout the 1990s. Remastered and with a new layout based on the original tape.
Red Magnesia Pink
First released by Extreme in the massive, infamous 'Merzbox,' "Red Magnesia Pink" is extracted and recontextualized as a standalone release for the first time. Recorded in 1995, "Red Magnesia Pink" sees Merzbow in peak form. A psychedelic whirlwind of synthetic transmissions; harsh, wet, screeching sounds that could only be produced by Masami Akita. Featuring two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the same era.
Allez-Teia (Heldon II)
Limited Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, White vinyl, 500 copies available!

Reflections Of A Golden Dream
Lonnie Liston Smith was one of the most important musicians to emerge in jazz in the 1970s. His 1975 album ‘Expansions’ is one of the foundation stones of modern dance music and his recordings have been sampled by many of the biggest artists in the world. His music was a cosmically inspired spiritual interpretation of the music he had been making during his time with Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri and Miles Davis.
Released in 1976,“Reflections On A Golden Dream”, the follow-up to “Expansions”, w…
The Endangered Species
In 1980 Bobby Wellins was commissioned to write a suite of music, which he called ‘The Endangered Species’ because, in his words: “Some years ago there was an oil spillage which washed ashore in Bognar Regis where I live. The guillemots were being pulled out in a dreadful state. One reads about such things, but to see for oneself a bird's life being taken away from it is quite horrific. Their lives are short enough anyway. It brought home to me very directly the damage we are inflicting on ourse…
Reminiscences of Raktako: Huayno Guitar from Cuzco and Ayacucho, 1930-1940

Analog Africa Limited Dance Edition No 18
The faultless Analog Africa presents another superb reissue project here, this time looking to two rare 1980s gems by Ousmane Kouyate, a master guitarist and heir to the Griot tradition.

The tracks presented here, 'Kefimba' and 'N'Ny' were originally released on cassette and later vinyl but are hard to find. They showcase his funk-infused s…

Dark Entries celebrates its 15th anniversary with legendary synth-punk deviants Crash Course in Science. Dale Feliciello, Mallory Yago, and Michael Zodorozny formed CCIS in 1979 after meeting at art school in Philadelphia.

Their anthems “Cardboard Lamb” and “Flying Turns” from 1981’s Signals From Pier Thirteen EP have been stapl…
