Sombrero Fallout
17 years later, Pump’s second CD, Sombrero Fallout, has just been released by the Belgian label, Plague Recordings. Pump was a group of sorts, comprising David Elliott and Andrew Cox. They met at univ 30 years ago, formed a group called MFH, released 5 cassette albums in the early 80s' heyday of cassette labels, changed our name to Pump, released an LP in 1987, recorded a follow-up which was supposed to come out in 1993 but for various boring reasons never quite happened, then we kind of fizzled…
Gyllensköld, Geijerstam And I At Rydberg’s
* Art Book CD – Silver Collection – augmented album Deluxe Art Book cd of 24 pages sewn – All artworks by Babs Santini * This 1983 period in which Gyllensköld was recorded was a fantastic time for the evolution of Steven Stapleton’s audio art. His collaborations with Diana Rogerson, Robert Haigh (Sema), David Tibet, and Thirlwell around this time elicited some of the most exciting work Nurse With Wound had yet recorded. Listen to this material and compare it to Chance Meeting and it becomes cle…
Black Mill Tapes Volumes 5 (LP)
In the beginning, there was just a box of tapes and “Fate’s Gentle Hand.” It was the autumn of 2010, and an anonymous figure known only as the Head Technician, an employee of Pye Corner Audio Transcription Services (“Magnetically aligning ferrous particles since 1970”), found himself at an auction in the village of Coldred, pop. 110. He was on the hunt for tobacco pipes when he chanced across a trio of boxes listed in the auction catalog, which described their contents only as “archived magnetic…
Radioactive Desire (2CD)
* Edition of 300. Gorgeous double-CD packaged inside a full-color, eight-panel, heavyweight digipak. Multifold full-color insert with photos and liner notes included. * Quoting Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly "The music is intense on every level, and there is a great underlying tension in these pieces, a mysterious force if you will." Recorded on the hottest days in the longest year, Bob Bellerue's "Radioactive Desire" is a work for free chamber music in feedback environments. Simple improvisationa…
Dies Irae
** Edition of 200 ** Comes in a regular plastic case with clear tray. Includes a 6-page fold-out booklet. Paul Chain’s 1994 experimental album. "There are sections of familiar guitarplay included as well as the standard hammond organ, but still all metal/rock fans should be warned that this is mostly an electronica/industrial release. The mood of the album varies between lamentation and insane anxiety. In particular, ‘Prescence Of The Soul’s Forest’ is utterly disturbed and the vocals of Sandra …
Emisphere 2CD
'Emisphere' is the last album from Paul Chain to be completely improvised. As usual, the tracks tend to be long, many being near or above the 15 minute mark, with a large use of the Hammond Organ throughout, and introduces some electronic elements as well. Released in 1996 by Paul Chain playing all instruments with the occasional help of Sandra Silver on vocals.
Equator
British post-industrial / ambient group O Yuki Conjugate arrives on Aguire with a vinyl run of their previously CD only 1995 release Equator. Coming four years after their lauded Peyote release, the group split and reformed into their Mk II phase with the two original members Roger Horberry and Andrew Hulme, along with Malcolm McGeorge, Dan Mudford & Pete Woodhead (who later went on to form Sons Of Silence on Leaf Label).
Making use of the emergent technology of the early 90’s, Equator was o…
In Sadness, Silence and Solitude
**300 copies, first time on vinyl** Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.In Sadness, Silence and Solitude’, first released in 1997 by Cold Meat Industry, is the fourth fullength album of Raison d'être…
Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has…

The Magnificent Void
** 2021 Stock ** Hearts Of Space Record presents The Magnificent Void, a Magnum Opus of pure oceanic sound and Steve Roach's most sophisticated atmospheric work to date. The final track "Altus", Latin for both "high" and "deep", says much about this work. The most demanding and textural of Roach's work, it has more in common with 20th century avant-garde than other genres. A chilling and beautiful continuous flow of harmonic sound-worlds. Melody and harmony are present throughout in a surreal pl…
This Death House
** Edition of 50 Black and White Splatter Vinyl + A3 Poster ** Other Voices Records and Kontakt Audio presents This Death House by Attrition. Old-school industrial live improvisation with overdubs on 4 track portastudio. Recorded at Black Prince Studio, Coventry, England. 1982.

Ampos
** Gold Version. Expanded 25th Anniversary Edition. Edition of 100. For the first time re-released into double LP ** This was the first full-length album released by Masimo Magrini as Bad Sector in 1995 as a CD on Staalplat.

Love's Secret Domain
* Deluxe Hardcover Triple-Gatefold 3xLP. Gold Vinyl, sold-out at source * In 1991 Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums "Love's Secret Domain", seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of its predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast, which unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating ps…
Crónica de un Secuestro
** 2021 Stock ** Elevator Bath is well pleased to present "Crónica de un secuestro," the proper debut album from multidisciplinary artist Susana López. These compositions were created in March 2020, during the lockdown, as the artist understandably experienced feelings of isolation, of being cloistered against her will. Perhaps this explains the album's attention to space. The notions of movement and exploration pervade the early pieces on this epic collection. The expansive drone and panning rh…
Mexico City / Central Mexico
** 2021 Stock. Limited edition cassette in oversized package with foldout poster ** Geography Of Hell is a mysterious collective with an international cast of members. While their refusal to answer questions or make their identities known, the dedication to familiar subjects presented without explanation makes this band one of the more intriguing propositions on Hospital Production's sprawling roster. Playing live, members of GOH are concealed behind homemade masks, whole their music fits into c…
Coalescence of Time: Other Conjectures on Future
** 2021 Stock. Edition of 150 ** “… we propose to study a generalized growth model, including all categories of unconventional literatures and yet coalesce them around critiques of linear thought… hence our estimates would be some of the endless positive examples for further conjectures on the end of time…. this could drive the need to communicate perception samples to all other forms of intelligence… evocative prescriptions which could offer potentially misleading guidance for future research, …
The Ascent of Deimos
** 2021 Stock ** Hospital Productions presents The Ascent of Deimos by Torture Chain. Morbid and baroque keyboard organ intros accompany a caustic and harsh hammering black death metal, complete with ripping guitar solos courtesy of Arthur Rizk with winding interactive single note leads set atop the crumbling temple of riffs. Highlights even hit the stressful agony of mayhem's chimera at its nastiest peaks or the angular dissonance of corpse vomit’s debut. This could easily have sat alongside so…
Musick To Play In The Dark
* Ltd. repress on yellow vinyl * Few groups in recent history forged as confounding and alchemical a body of work as Coil, the partnership of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and John Balance. From album to album and phase to phase their recordings spelunk perplexing depths of esoteric industrial, occult electronics, and drugged poetry, both embodying and alienating parallel currents of their peers. The late 1990's in particular were a fertile era for the duo, embracing chance, chaos, and collabora…
