Dungeon Myths
Heimat der Katastrophe proudly presents a (well known but incognito acting) poet of the sepulchral obscurities and darker recesses of the mind: Kormorg.Are you willing to get lost in the complex sound architecture of this miraculous and mighty album? Primordial rhythms coming from an arcane past, weirdly twisted human sounds and galactic waves of inhuman synthesizers, the echo of both human and monstrous populations who might have inhabited our planet when history had not yet begun.... press pla…
Joulupukki
"Joulupukki is a stunning electronic artwork by Xambuca, which is the moniker for American multimedia artist Chandra Shukla. Inspired by northern indigenous peoples, Xambuca is in the process of creating a trilogy dedicated to and stimulated by these unique cultures and geographies. The 2014 release Kamuy (Erototox) was inspired by the Ainu people of northern Japan, Sakhalin Island, and the Kuril Islands in the northern Pacific. Joulupukkiis about the Saami people living at the top of the Fenno-…
Barricades
The story is that Vigroux spent most of the time on his tour constructing what would subsequently evolve into Barricades. Working indefatigably on new tracks in the morning and performing them live in the evening - that is basically how this excellent work was assembled. Recording everything in stereo, using only two tracks, Vigroux aimed to incorporate “the rawness of a ‘live’ recording”. Consequently, the sound here became unmistakably pure and expressive, somewhat reminiscent of artists such …
Matériaux
A physical release for ‘Matériaux’, the 2020 EP from French multimedia artist Franck Vigroux. Somewhere between a mini-album and a long EP, Vigroux expresses a range of different moods but in the same simple, musique concrète-influenced manner, driven by texture and harmony at the expense of melody.

The Cynic
Monte Cazazza is a San Francisco-based industrial music pioneer, artist and filmmaker and a genuinely unique artist whose influence on culture in the 20th century has yet to be recognized. The Cynic is Monte's first album since the early '80s. His original releases were through Throbbing Gristle's Industrial Records and San Fran's Subterranean Records. He was regularly featured in the seminal RE/Search magazine and books. In the early '90s, Mute Records gathered most of his earlier recordings to…
Underwater Kites
* 2021 Stock* Arriving in the wake of inspirational releases from Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Clock DVA and Throbbing Gristle, Modern Art’s Underwater Kites pinched those templates into a range of nervy, minimalist styles porous to influence and defined by the moody character of Gary Ramon’s vocals and his feel for expressive, evocative melody. As the founder of Color Discs/Color Tapes, there’s reams of evidence that Ramon was a proper locus for the post-punk scene at that time, and his outp…
Oriental Towers
* 2021 Stock. Edition of 300 * Another entry from the darkly enchanting minimal synth-pop and psych-tinged world of The Modern Art. As an introduction to the world of Coil and Current 93 collaborator (and Sun Dial main man) Gary Ramon and his orbiting bandmates, you can't do better. "From a time when drummers were as rare as a tune with a melody. It could have been made yesterday, by one of those modern bands of foppish young men, whose parents' record collection contained stuff like The Wake an…

Portray Heads
While remaining predominantly unknown except amongst die-hard collectors, Portray Heads has proven to be one of the best kept secrets of the Japanese electronic underground. Tohru Tomita (冨田徹) formed Portray Heads in 1984 in Matsuyama City, the capital of Shikoku Island, with fellow band members Ayumi Tokunaga (徳永あゆみ) and Mikiharu Doi (土居幹治), just after dissolving his solo bedroom project Onanie Bazooka. The trio entered the studio in August that same year and recorded several songs. Two songs f…
Black Phoebe
* Edition of 300 * Mark Lanegan and his wife, Shelley Brien (Singrid Lund) pursue a gothic wave and washed-out techno muse in a deliciously cranky follow-up to Lanegan’s acclaimed ‘Downwelling’ LP with Not Waving last year. Featuring members of the Mark Lanegan Band including Martyn LeNoble (Porno For Pyros) on bass, the band play up to their passions for the gloomy rumination of PIL, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Sandwell District, Bauhaus and Joy Division across a perfectly unpredicted suite of L…
Pushing Through A Wall
* Edition of 300 * Industrial changeling Oliver Ho returns to his Slow White Fall alias for a howling and paganistic suite of industrial music in an English medieval Gothic mode channelling Dead Can Dance via Killing Joke, Scott Walker and Godflesh Slow White Fall is the latest of Ho’s revolving monikers (Broken English Club, Raudive, Zov Zov), and here used to signify a shift into hairier, muscular Industrial music that treads heavily but carefully to the right side of fantasy dramatic, wrought…
Disillusioned!
1980s music from former Yugoslavia has always been a special affair. Even pop was not the same as pop, if you understand. Rex Ilusivii is the brainchild of composer Mitar Subotic and will go well with fans of dark synthie pop and atmospheric gothic stuff. There are four shorter tunes to be found on the A side of this record and this is as pop as pop could go if you wish to play it in a gloomy and more experimental style. Bowie would have been proud of this music if it was his. It is dark and min…

Iberorromance
**60 copies** Paralelo is the solo project of Raul Q. de Orte (also member of Wind Atlas). Since his early dark wave and synth pop recordings he has evolved with strong personality to his own style that could be redefined as cold electronic amidst anxious pop. His last tape “Synth Protesta” can be consider as a pure underrated gem of the spanish synth wave. Retro and contemporary at the same time, Raul sings against the modern reality demanding explanations to the world.
This new record “Iberrom…
The Complete Collection 1980-1988
Minimal Wave is proud to present The Complete Collection 1980-1988, a five LP box set by the highly lauded French group Martin Dupont. The band formed in Marseille in 1980 and consisted of Alain Seghir, Brigitte Balian, Beverley Jane Crew, and Catherine Loy. They were immensely talented with a rare dynamic between them that was likely inspired by a combination of their magnetic personalities, creative vision and the home studio where they recorded. The music they made was colorful, enthusiastic …
