Music To Listen To Other Tapes By
“Music To Listen To Other Tapes By” is the essential work of clip art noise and american xerox prodigy Croiners AKA James Levine, originally self-distributed as part of the 1980s cassette culture underground and often regarded as a highlight of that era.
Muzak and industrial assemblages are processed via tape loops, samplers, and an adoption of now-archaic MIDI hardware, being one of the originating noise acts to utilize the digital technology in their live performances. Said gigs were riotous, …
Robin Diamond's Lungs
An act of concentration rendered explosive, Debt of Nature’s Robin Diamond’s Lungs lunges at complacency, fusing short-form assaults with caustic wit. The album is a lungful of serrated textures, stuttering rhythms, and a throughline of existential urgency, driving headlong into the contours of disillusion and revolt.
Psychic Mud Wrestling
Psychic Mud Wrestling is the second release of Nick Forte’s Flamingo Base Jumpers project, diving even deeper into textured raw noise, heavy tape mangling, and the use of crude, destroyed samples that shake hands with dreamlike, hazy exotica and warped American nostalgia.
C.O.T.H.
There's a slow dreamlike flow to this album. Broken sounds emanating out of nowhere, slithering along to a pulse of their own on a course set for utter depletion. The wild shifts, the timbre and textures will be familiar to anyone who's followed his output, but this is still something else. A restrained, somnambulant and perhaps even heartfelt piece of work.
Statue Falls
Renowned for some beautiful guitar work, as Translucent Envelope, Portland based artist Bob Desaulniers explores the more abstract side of sound managing to hold together a sparkling synthesis of agitation and precision, detail and roughness, perfecting a formula that has already been leading phenomenal releases out on Chocolate Monk, among others.
Dydens Belønning
Quite stupid but also surprisingly dynamic harsh noise. Abrupt tape loops an overblown circuits constantly on the verge of breaking down.
Hack Conduit
Lo-fi wall noise muck from the mind of Canadian artist Barrett E. Lediard (Toanche Dwelling, Rotmans, Vast Field Magnetism, etc). Hack Conduit is the epitome of terms like "muddy" and "blown out", recorded straight to tape and sent directly to AAD headquarters on said tape in order to capture both tracks in all their filthy hiss-ridden authentic glory.3" disc with printed label & 3 panel cover art housed in polycase.
Helios
AAD warmly welcomes Tim Olive to the family. Canadian born but residing in Japan for many years, TO has been involved in experimental music spanning more than two decades and has collaborated with dozens of great international artists and labels alike. Armed with a minimal setup of metallic pickups, springs and scrap metal, TO has mastered his sound by amplifying acoustic objects that are then played like a free jazz musician tinkering with a pile of broken guitars.
Carefully Upon This Hour
AAD proudly presents "Carefully Upon This Hour", the follow up to muttering's 2022 cassette "Iron Angel, Please Keep Quiet". Subdued amp buzz and clattering acoustic objects echo in the distance of what sounds like a large decrepit room, gradually building up into a roaring thunderous mess of twisted scrap metal and feedback that abruptly submits to quieter reverberations...only to be disrupted with one last blast of abrasive rumbling junk noise.
Sacred Heart of Reinvention
Wow, this is unreal -- the first full length album by Slacking on AAD? What a privilege to do this landmark release, which will surely be looked back on years from now as a crowning achievement for the label, in the same way that Creation Records must feel about being the one to have put out "Loveless". From the first time i heard this project i was stoked in a way i hadn't been since first discovering Harsh Noise. It was immediately apparent that i was to be in total support of this project as …

Dead Harbor
This is a cassette released by American noise artist Dead Door Unit from the country's experimental/noise label Tribe Tapes in April 2024. Contains two 2-minute Lo-Fi junk harsh noise songs using field recordings and tapes.
A sound lover's feast. The reincarnation of the individual sounds would be enough but the scalpel is applied in broader strokes.

In the past I have stated that I do not release Power Electronics, but that claim is now shattered after discovering Parassitismo, a duo hailing from Genova, Italy that creates some of the best oldschool P.E. I've come across...granted I'm no expert on the genre, I just know I really like this album and wanted to get it back in circulation ASAP on a physical format worthy of it's excellence. This is cold, filthy, lo-fi Industrial murk that incorporates rhythmic noise, processed dialogue, analog …
