2 CDs in a 6-panel Digipak. The original release of Nurse with Wound's gargantuan "Thunder Perfect Mind" in 1992 coincided with that of Current 93's homonymous genre-defining album. Legend has it that the gnostic name initially appeared to Steven Stapleton in a dream as the title of Tibet's then still nameless upcoming album. Both records feature contributions from David Tibet, Colin Potter, Rose McDowall, John Balance of Coil, Alan Trench of Orchis and Joolie Wood amongst others. The title and …

*250 copies limited edition* Mostly known for his work as founder, vocalist and main songwriter for The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka- Spel has long forged an equally prolific career as a solo artist given to sometimes exploring similar sonic realms as his group but clearly working at such a pace the need to channel ideas and songs in this capacity must be enforced. And just as well too, because Edward Ka-Spel is one of those rare and exceptional artists whose high workrate doesn’t betray a kee…

*300 copies limited edition* Planned in the early 90's executed in the early 20's: The Arctic Salon. Another Cranioclast Expedition, this time to the Pole.

But also a long time in which things in the Arctic and Antarctic got worse and worse and continue. Double LP almost…

Follow-up to Haarlemmerhout, pushing Polack's hyper-local Haarlem practice out into the wider world. Four long pieces are built from material gathered across continents - the temple of the reclining Buddha (Wat Pho, Bangkok), Schiermonnikoog in the Dutch Wadden, Hong Kong traffic lights, Gamelan percussion - then routed through electronic processing, nostalgic power chords, electroacoustic crescendo writing, and a final tenor saxophone gesture reminiscent of Albert Ayler's raw expressivity.

In The Nursery is the Sheffield-based project built around twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone, who have been making music together since 1981 when they formed a trio with guitarist Anthony Bennett. The group emerged from the same Sheffield scene that produced Clock DVA and connected with Cabaret Voltaire, releasing their first record in June 1983 on Paragon and aligning initially with the UK's post-industrial underground.

The recordings, in Eugene’s particular manner, maintained an intensely rhythmic quality rooted in a deep and unwavering sense of minimalism. Eugene has a way of making a tiny…
