Morphine Nocturne
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
Solmania is the project of Masahiko Ohno, one of the key figures of the Osaka noise underground in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Alongside Masonna, Incapacitants, C.C.C.C., and others circulating through the Vanilla Records orbit, Solmania emerged from the same world of home-recording and ultra-limited cassette runs - noise made on homemade instruments and homemade systems, outside any commercial framework and mostly unknown beyo…
Extreme Gospel Nights
2026 stock, reduced price **Clear cassette case, 4-panel J-card stamped with the label info on the inner side. **
The most radical act of any art is the refusal to aestheticize. Incapacitants have held that refusal for over four decades, and Extreme Gospel Nights - a cassette recorded live at Gospel in Tokyo in 1993 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - remains one of the most uncompromising statements of that position.
Toshiji Mikawa formed Incapacitants in Osaka in 1981 as a solo pr…
Live Materials 1980-1993
2026 stock, reduced price. A thirteen-year archive compressed into a single cassette. Live Materials 1980-1993 by Nord traces the arc of a project that stretches back to the earliest years of Japanese experimental electronics - years before Japanoise had a name, before Vanilla Records existed, before most of the artists who would define the scene in the late 1980s had begun recording.
The breadth of the timeline captured here is significant. 1980 is contemporaneous with the earliest industrial a…
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…
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…

>(decrescendo)
Japanese “noise” masters The Gerogerigegege go quiet on the super limited vinyl edition of their 2019 tape for Tokyo clothing label Cav Empt, delivered via TTT. Showcasing the flip side to their abject noise and playful cut-ups, ‘>(decrescendo)’ sees them ditch the noisy extremity for 40 minutes bathed in pastoral new age ambience and riddled with iridescent, melodic lines of thought that will probably mess with preconceptions of what they’re about (unless you’ve really delved into their catalo…

Rainbow Electronics
A stunning immersion into the world of Merzbow during one of the project's most engrossing and important period's, Urashima’s latest, the first ever vinyl reissue of the project's legendary 1990 release, 'Rainbow Electronics', is a truly historic event. A monumental work of few parallels, even 30 years after its initial release, it still challenges the fundamental notions of what music is perceived to be.
Incapacitants
** Ltd 299, with 12” size insert. Includes extensive notes by Toshiji Mikawa in Japanese with translation by Kato David Hopkins in English.** It’s a great moment for reissues of ambitious, historical gestures of the noise from Japan. One after the other, these artifacts have emerged from the shadows, entirely rewriting what so many of us thought we knew. Now, at long last, before us rest another piece in the puzzle - the first ever release of one of the most sought-after artifacts from the 80s n…
Rumors of Noizu: Hijokaidan and the Road to 2nd Damascus
This is the real Japanese Noise bible.
Death Ceremonies
**400 copies**Death Ceremonies is the darkest, most primitive death industrial record, soaked throughout with the smell of rotting corpses and burning bodies. Controlled Death (Masonna) features Maso Yamazaki's most compulsive Korg MS-20 drones and obsessive, disturbing vocals, drenched with anxiety and alienation. Dense atmospheres of doom, death, and decay build up just to break away in deep paranoia. Rudolf Eb.er (Schimpfluch) scratches a near-dead violin over horrifying synth tones, celebrat…
不安な演奏
Tip! **10CD collection in black wooden box with laser engraving and closure with a numbered certificate in 300 copies** Absolute backers of sound research that goes beyond the restrictions of the obvious and the frivolous are certainly The Gerogerigegege, a bizarre musical project born in 1985 in Shinjuku, one of the largest and most populated neighbourhoods in Tokyo, known for its gay community active since the 60s, led by the mysterious figure of the musician and composer Juntaro Yamanouchi. T…
Onomatopée Suicida
**In process of stocking. Limited edition of 300 copies with A2 poster.** Active for nearly 40 years, Incapacitants are without a doubt one of the best noise groups of all-time. The duo of T. Mikawa and F. Kosakai are legendary for their chaotic recordings and over the top live performances. Onomatopée Suicida is the first new Incapacitants vinyl LP in more than 10 years, and follows their now classic format of a mix of studio pieces with a live performance on the B-side. This group should need …
