Deforms The Unborn
*66 copies limited edition* 'Portraying the sensation of being possessed by a demon, Zepar to be exact, Deforms the Unborn was a live-performance by Xiu Xiu at the Guggenheim museum. After researching multiple first hand accounts of demonic possession, the material that came out of all of that is basically an auditory version of a Lovecraft story. You are never quite sure what is real and what isn't, there is this constant abrasive feeling of paranoia and dread lingering in the background, stran…

This bundle includes Mecanica Popular's first two albums as reissued by Wah Wah Records:¿Qué Sucede Con el Tiempo? (LP, 1984)Recorded over the course of 4 years during late-night, afterhours sessions at RCA's Studio @ Calle Carlos Maurrás in Madrid (one of Spain's best and bigger studio around that time), it was the result of the duo's interest in unorthodox sound-sources which they manipulated in a sort proto-sampling collage technique based on random tape-loops and best heard in their original…
Broken Masses
*300 copies limited edition* Five collaborative pieces between Gary Mundy of Ramleh/Kleistwahr/Broken Flag and Eraldo Bernocchi of Sigillum S. Combining two guitars, subtle electronics and what sounds like a voice from another dimension, rhythmic loops or serene pools of liquid sound are generated that add up to an album of immense beauty and scope. Sometimes more intense and at others almost elegiac, this work is in keeping with Gary's more recent solo work yet benefits also from Bernocchi's ow…

Music for Hippies
**100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking** "Years and years ago, I went through my collection of old cassettes and transferred many of them. Within the dark corners, I found some rarely played cassettes by De Fabriek, and when I heard those again, I realized why I hadn't played those a lot. One was with P. Funk and called 'Music For Hippies'. Today I learned that not all those old cassettes will be re-issued on CD, which I think is good. I also learned that behind P. Funk there are a…
DAK009
**100 copies** The material on DAK009 is compiled from home recordings, all recorded straight to cassette, mixed in real time without overdubs. However, there are a few edits in order to conform with limitations of duration, re side two. Spencer Herbst, starting his musical foray as primarily a drummer, has spent the last 10 plus years creating a musical swath. The musical acumen created from a small arsenal of varied electronic components & tape recorders, that will hopefully outlive its maker.…
The Body Of Horror. Music Inspired By The Cinema Of David Cronenberg
Eighth Tower Records is proud to release a compilation of music inspired to the cinema of the Canadian legendary director David Cronenberg. More than a cult filmmaker, a true legend of the contemporary cinema, Cronenberg inspired an unimaginable number of artists all over the world and in every field of the artistic expressions. Cronenberg’s signature is a mix of graphic sex and violence broadly known as “body horror.” His early works exploited special effects to provoke audiences with bugs and …
00 Time
Released on Karl Kronfeld's Synoptik Records, it was the label's only release, thus becoming a rare, sought after, private pressing. Weird, intriguing atmospheres and a plethora of synthesized sounds, sequencers, cold sounding keyboards and even mellotron parts make this a darker offering than Aphorisms Insane. Venturing into stark, spooky post-industrial territories it manages to combine the primitive cosmicism of early Tangerine Dream with the dystopic sound-scapes of Asmus Tietchens, 80's Con…
Baku: 1922
A welcome departure from their first effort, the record has gained greater reconection in recent years when contemporary audiencies could fully aprreciate the strenght and harsher direction the duo decided to take for their follow-up album. More rhythmically-oriented tunes whilst revisiting some old-favorites like Daguerrotipo or La Edad del Bronce (both off their first album, but albeit in new mixes).The Wah Wah edition has been mastered from the original tapes by Eugenio Muñoz, reproduces the …
¿Qué Sucede Con El Tiempo?
Recorded over the course of 4 years during late-night, afterhours sessions at RCA's Studio @ Calle Carlos Maurrás in Madrid (one of Spain's best and bigger studio around that time), it was the result of the duo's interest in unorthodox sound-sources which they manipulated in a sort proto-sampling collage technique based on random tape-loops and best heard in their original percussive studies; their dreamy, surrealist-like lyrical passages or the sort of deep primeval atmospheres first conjured b…

Domaine Poétique released seven cassettes from 1987-1989, most of whi…
Opala
**150 copies** The occult and folk music have been friends for a while. In the 21st century, hauntology and the resurface of some cult soundtracks from the 1970s and 1980s helped to create a new sense of folk, not associated with the typical acoustic feeling, but more relatable with library, krautrock/kosmische and industrial music. João Kyron and Tony Watts, long time collaborators since the late 1990s with their band Hipnótica, and more recently with Beautify Junkyards (Ghost Box) are well acq…
nolastingname
**100 copies** Unrest is a word that comes to mind listening to Maria da Rocha new instalment “nolastingname”. She’s been around for a few years, living between Lisbon, Berlin and Stockholm, releasing records with Maria W. Horn (“Pink”, 2015) or on her own (“Beetroot & Other Stories”, 2018). She studied classical music (violin) but her solo musical career steps away from it, putting her foot down on electronic and experimental music. “nolastingname” was recorded in Stockholm’s Elektronmusikstudi…
Nurses
*2022 stock. 30 copies limited edition* Nurses was recorded in 1996 and was supposed to be released as a split album by the Murder Release label. The split album never materialized and was for a long time forgotten but in 2017, together with Murder Release/Moreno Daldosso, menstrualrecordings decided to finally release it. Nurses was pressed in 2017 but the pressing was faulty. Most copies and the metal plates were destroyed. We were able to save 30 fully playable copies. Those 30 copies are the…

Telmegiddo / Bacterihabitat
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "LP by Maurizio Bianchi and a CDR by M.B., and that's why a book is such a great idea. Why is that? 'Telmegiddo' (CD) is 'the last cassette tape decomposition' and was previously released as 'Extreme Man 2'. The two pieces on 'Bacterihabitat' (CDR) are from May 1982 and previously released as 'Extreme Man 1' - both of the releases actually released without permission. Its hard to say what the differences would be between both works, but they (all four pie…
