Reissues
Filled with Unquestionable Feelings
**Limited Edition of 299 copies.** Cascades of electronic noise, a psychedelic touch and vocal belching mixed together constitute the ingredients of Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé, the double-barreled name for Masonna. Maso Yamazaki founded his project in 1987, with a charismatic and glamorous personality who become a cult figure in “Japanoise” scene. Masonna’s abundant productions on his own legendary and astonishing label Coquette were presented in very limited editio…
Grind Carve
**Limited Edition of 199 copies.** Akifumi Nakajima was probably best known for his work under the name Aube, which was one of the more prolific and most interesting noise acts from Japan. He had an impeccable and marvelous sense of design and appreciation for the materials, taking packaging beyond just using regular old paper with his wonderful and unique label G.R.O.S.S., dedicated to releasing experimental music and noise, in addition to his own recordings as Aube. He began recording in 1980 …
Neurotten
**Limited Edition of 299 copies.** Kohei Gomi began experimenting with home recording in the 1980s and got so lost in extreme sonics under the Pain Jerk moniker that his output inevitably spilled out into the wider world. By the mid-90s, he was one of the most prolific and influential noise units operating out of Japan, hurling maelstroms of chaotic chunder and deranged grime at anyone who could handle the extremes. Pain Jerk became one of the leading figures in the "dynamic" style of Japanese n…
月蝕
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
月蝕 - lunar eclipse. The title is apt for a cassette that arrived in 1991, was heard by almost no one, and vanished almost entirely from the record. Vehiyd was a four-member noise and psychedelic band comprising 博子 on bass, 真由美 on drums, 界 on guitar, and Piaa on vocals - and this Vanilla Records cassette, single-sided and numbered in the label's characteristic manner, is the only recorded document the group left behind.
The genre ta…
Reflexive Universe
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
Recorded live at Maya in Kobe on 15 September 1991 - with only Mayuko Hino on electronics and voice and Hiroshi Hasegawa on synthesizer and electronics - Reflexive Universe strips C.C.C.C. to its core and finds, in that reduction, something more concentrated and more volatile than the full ensemble.
The choice of John C. Lilly's CCCC as a name pointed toward a practice in which sound was genuinely conceived as a system of feedback …
Refugee / On The Move
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
Nagoya produced a noise and improvisation scene that ran largely parallel to the Osaka-Tokyo axis - less documented, less exported, but no less intense. Dislocation was one of its legendary formations, a collective comprising Toyohiro Okazaki, Yoshimei Yanagawa, Keishi Kiyokawa, Fujio Kimura, and others, whose name appeared alongside Merzbow, C.C.C.C., Masonna, Monde Bruits, Solmania, Incapacitants, and Violent Onsen Geisha on the …
Portuguese Man-Of-War
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
The name comes from the French for "noise world" - Monde Bruits, the project of Shohei Iwasaki (岩崎昇平, 1962-2005), a figure whose significance to the entire architecture of Japanese noise exceeds what the relatively small scale of his recorded output might suggest. It was Iwasaki who organized Masami Akita's first Merzbow concert in Osaka - a founding act of the network that would, over the following years, connect Japanese noise to…
Flamenco Party
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
The name means "mercury lamp" - 水銀ランプ - and the industrial implications are entirely intentional. Suigin-Lamp was a trio: Kumiko Yamamoto on bass and sampler, Kazuhide Kawata on guitar, vocals, and sampler, and Kosei Yatani on violin and guitar. Flamenco Party, their only recording, was captured live at Shinjuku Ongakukan in April 1991 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - six tracks on a single-sided C62 cassette, number…
Shocks! Shocks! Shocks!
2026 stock, reduced price ** Comes in a snapcase with a numbered cassette has no label and a numbered j-card with different address stamp from 1st press. **
The most radical formal gesture in Shocks! Shocks! Shocks! is not any single noise burst or sample collision but the refusal - sustained across the entire cassette - to settle into a genre. Violent Onsen Geisha is Masaya Nakahara, a Tokyo-born artist who has described himself as someone with no musical talent, and who produced, precisely be…
Mission Invisible
** 2021 Stock ** Hospital Productions announce the unreleased, would-be-classic from Japanese noise hero Painjerk. Originally recorded immediately after the canonical Gallon Gravy classic, this is pure -- definitive -- loop-heavy noise energy and dynamism that would become the signature of Kohei Gomi's electronic studies having influenced two generations of underground electronics since. Hailing from a background of Japanese punk, Kohei Gomi stayed true to the fierce ethos of independence and ex…

Nephlokokkygia 1992
Temporary Super Offer! To be free. What does that actually mean? Not in a social or even political sense. But as a human being? As a musician? When we speak of free improvised music, freedom is the mother of all things. And that in a literal- al sense. You free yourself from yourself. As human beings, we always act with the sum of what we have collected, stored and reflected in all the years before. An improviser does not have to apply his knowledge and skills intellectually, but instinctively. …
Trio, Quartet & Composer Revisited
Temporary Super Offer! When on January 20 1969 Mike Taylor was pulled from the River Thames – shoeless, alone, confused, ultimately drowned by his own hand – the young pianist and composer was only 31. A cynic might say that hindsight is a wonderful thing and that it was only years later, when fans began to speculate on the fatal glamour of an artist who died so young, that fellow musicians began to recollect him as a genius of modern music. At the time, they might well have thought of him – an…
Musique Tachiste
The debut issue from Finders Keepers' hugely promising new Cacophonic sub-label is the first in a series of rare records by French experimentalist Michel Magne: six pieces of extended vocal technique, musique concrète, and jazzier modes very much in keeping with Finders Keepers' quirkier tastes. A faithful reissue including facsimile of the original artwork and 12-page booklet of liner notes. "One of the very earliest full-length French concept albums - part radical manifesto, part pantomime. Th…
Clangers
Far away from the land of breaks, beats and modern music is the world of the Clangers. Created by the genius team of Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin (Bagpuss, Ivor The Engine, Pogle's Wood), the Clangers are now over 40 years old. Their name comes from the noise the dustbin lids covering their homes makes, and all the music and special effects played for both series are issued on this record.The music was played and composed by Vernon Elliot and a small quartet from the Philharmonia. Musical di…
Tenebre
“Tenebre” is the soundtrack of the eponymous film directed by Dario Argento in 1982, which celebrated today its 30th anniversary. Even if released as ‘Simonetti – Pignatelli – Morante’, it’s usually considered an actual Goblin album; as many people know, the ‘real’ Goblin were releasing the LP “Volo” at the same time, and the band’s name and logo could not be used for copyright reasons.
“Tenebre” is the last great collaboration between Argento and Goblin: here Dario Argento moved from full and w…
Sangue di Sbirro
Perhaps not everyone knows that Alessandro Alessandroni, the Master of Italian library music, had also composed several original soundtracks from late ’60s to early ‘80s, especially for many “genre” movies such as poliziotteschi, sexy comedies, spaghetti western, horror and thriller. Among them, Sangue di Sbirro (Bloody Avenger), is certainly one of the most prestigious works made for Italian cinema in the 70s: an Italian noir set in Philadelphia, where the jazz-funk library’s background of the …
Inferno
"Inferno" is a 1980 film by Dario Argento, generally considered one of the masterpieces of the Roman director. At that particular time, the artistic partnership established with Goblin, who wrote the soundtracks for "Profondo Rosso" and "Suspiria", had essentially crumbled, while in the UK Emerson, Lake & Palmer had just disbanded; Argento was therefore able to make a dream come true: to collaborate with an artist from the English prog-rock scene.Keith Emerson was then invited to reach Dario Arg…
L'Amour a La Bouche
The Omega Productions Records is proud to present you for the Mannequin (L’Amour à la bouche • 1974) original motion picture soundtrack, composed by Yan Tregger. Distributed one year before the implementation of the French X law, Mannequin is the first erotic film directed by Gérard Kikoïne (Jess Franco or Claude Mulot editor). He’s famous today for his « films d’Amour » that he directed during the french porn golden age, some with Brigitte Lahaie or Marilyn Jess.
A few years before Education of…
Fumo Di Londra

This masterful composer collaborated many times with Sordi, writing themes that were to became Albertone's career trademarks; "Marcia di Esculapio" from the movie "Il Medico della Mutua" and "Rugido Do Leao" from "Finché cé guerra, ce speranza" (which was used later for a series called "TV Storia di un Italiano").
