Great debut CD from Tokyo noise unit Endon. A well executed mix of grindcore, noise and industrial that sounds pretty unique and forward thinking. Limited edition CD with liner notes from Pain Jerk and Mikko Aspa (Grunt / Freak Animal Records). Recommended.
"Without a doubt, one would name Endon as one of the most vigorously active bands in the forefront of the Tokyo underground scene. The band has carved their name into the audiences’ minds through their savagely overwhelming performances. Endon’s sound can be characterized by a cataclysmic headlong plunge of vocal, guitar, electronics, and drums, all taking a chaotic yet equivalent presence amidst the cacophony. Their performances have grown increasingly malevolent, constantly steering themselves to acme until they meet their candid disintegration..."

"The follow-up to the highly acclaimed Soul Cleansing CD finds Portugal's Sektor 304 expanding on all aspects of their debut, once again channeling the essence of the old school guardians (Test Dept, SPK, Crash Worship), while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory.
Comparatively speaking, Subliminal Actions is a more complete and focused album, with an even better flow than Soul Cleansing and more attention paid to detail, unleashing a cacophonic whirlwind of buzz saw grind, loops, power tools, and scraping, junk metal debris, clashing head on with exertive tribal percussion, clanging oil barrel rhythms, and industrial clamour resonating over a sprawling, post- apocalyptic wasteland... Subliminal Actions takes the Sektor 304 sound to new heights, delivering yet striking record sure to solidify their standing as one of premier, truly industrial acts in operation today..." - Malignant.

The opening salvo from Will Bankhead and Joy Orbison's new label Hinge Finger, this EP is a cracker: a rainswept blend of future beats, house and techno; a diverse, tense and enthralling survey of Madteo's own world of muffled, deep, body-rocking bass and layered, worked drama. After sterling releases on Workshop, Meaukusma and co - the best yet from this Paduan In New York.

"A split EP from the originators of DIY art punk and a dark psychedelic power trio may seem like an unlikely proposition, but more common ground is shared between these art rock trail blazers than meets the eye. The Homosexuals are led by Bruno Wizard writer of such classics as "Hearts In Exile", "Neutron Lover", "Astral Glamour", and "Walk Before Imitate". Formed from the ashes of the Rejects they did their first gig at The Roxy in January 1977 supporting The Damned and The Vibrators. In the following five shows they played with Wire, Generation X ,The Jam and Sham 69. The band's work during this period would lead to their recognition as a pioneer of D.I.Y., along with such bands as This Heat, Desperate Bicycles, Swell Maps. Their angular guitars, complex melodies, and experimental leanings distanced them somewhat from the punk rock being created by their contemporaries and has cemented their reputation as a pre-cursor to post-punk..."

"Maestro Terry Riley returns to the transcendent brilliance of his mprovisatory All Night Flights from the 1970s in this spectacular two-hour solo performance for just intonation keyboard. Originally created for the Aleph-Bet Sound Project that John Zorn organized for the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco, the music has been sitting in Terry’s archives for years and now finally sees the light of day in all its glorious entirety. Recorded at Terry’s private studio at Moonshine Ranch at Midnight, the music captures a magically mystical vibe, timeless, meditative and entrancing. A modern classic from the godfather of minimalism who continues to surprise and challenge us with each new release." - Tzadik.

"Recorded in 1969 early electronic music pioneer Bruce Haack and child educator Ms. Nelson go bravely and deeply into psychedelic music compositions designed to open the minds and hearts of the young. Truly far out electronic music that evokes a space age alternate universe. Bruce & Ms. Nelson are joined by pianist Praxietellis Pandit and their relaxed sounding friend Chris to bring you songs about everything from ancient folk tales to outer space to what the world sounds like when you listen with your inner self. Real great stuff, not for the faint of heart. Avante garde music by and for the people. Comes in an old school tip on cover." – Mississippi Records.

"A landmark in the history of the european experimental rock. The third “cow” work, originally released on Virgin in 1975, represents the second collaborative act between Henry Cow and Slapp Happy, and the first fully integrated appearance of Dagmar Krause.
In Praise Of Learning is a unique piece of art, showing perfect unity of political content, with rock complexity, extended song form and free noise explorations. An impressive array of new compositions, including Tim Hodgkinson’s masterwork “Living In The Heart Of The Beast” and Fred Frith’s “Beautiful As The Moon-Terrible As An Army With Banners.”
An extraordinary set of music, performed by an amazing, extended line up: Dagmar Krause, Lindsay Cooper, Fred Frith, Tim Hodgkinson, John Greaves, Chris Cutler, Peter Blegvad, Anthony Moore, and guests: the great Mongezi Feza, Geoff Leigh and Phil Becque. A timeless classic!!! 180 gram vinyl." - ReR.

Regis explores the various forms and effects of repetition within this D.A.F. inspired 1995 British underground techno classic. Properly mastered for the first time by Matt Colton - this is truly linear, hypnotic, low-fi machine funk. Back in the early days of Downwards only the Surgeon titles were mastered properly as O'Connor didn't think his own productions were worth it (having been transferred direct from tape)... Now re-released and fully re-mastered. Features a brand new Downwards printed jacket and two hand stamps.

"Historia y Violencia 7 is brought to you by technical maestro, John Tejada and rising talent, Truncate (David Flores). This release showcases both artists’ talent for classic production and forward-thinking sound design. The A-side is Tejada’s ‘Maximiliano (6 July 1832 - 19 June 1867)’, and includes a nod to the only monarch of the Second Mexican Empire. It brings classic depth that only John Tejada is capable of. The B-side is Truncate’s ‘.Venticinco (.25)’, which brings classic futuristic dance floor sounds to the here and now with additional sound effects provided by our very own Silent Servant Juan Mendez. This is Los Angeles’ first and second wave at its finest." - Historia y Violencia.

"Karl O'Connor (aka Regis) has been a brutal instigator on the techno underground for over 15 years, instrumental in pioneering the disturbing situationist inventory that came to embody the mid '90s 'Birmingham sound'; slate grey monolithic chunks of audio, charged with oblique hypnotic undercurrents." - Harry Sword, The Quietus.

Young Americans is proud to present an extremely special vinyl pressing of some of the most important early electronic music ever made. Daphne Oram was the founder of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a department she more or less single-handedly created in 1958, camping out at the BBC studios for nights on end splicing tapes and working with various modified machines to create her abstract soundscapes... Despite her considerable and historic list of achievements, Oram's life and work remain largely unknown by the wider public. As this remarkable 44-track collection shows, however, her work ranks amongst the most varied and pioneering ever made, and it's quite incredible to think that this is the first time any of these precious recordings have been available on vinyl. 155 minutes/8 sides of vinyl cut by Lupo at D&M, housed in a heavyweight 300 gram gatefold sleeve, featuring rare archive photographs.

"James Leyland Kirby returns in 2012 with his long-in- the-making soundtrack to Grant Gee's film about WG Sebald.
Patience (After Sebald) is a multi-layered film essay on landscape, art, history, life and loss by the acclaimed documentary film-maker Grant Gee. It is an exploration of the work and influence of German writer WG Sebald (1944 – 2001), told via a long walk through coastal East Anglia tracking his most famous book The Rings of Saturn. The book mixed history, travelogue, memoir, meditation, fiction and images to explore the personal, public and often overlooked histories of Suffolk..."

"Three volume compilation of recordings from 1995 to 2011, morphing seamlessly between a sense of total irreverence and the sublime. His spontaneous compositions and notated works are the angled mirrored counterparts of a transient saxophone driven performance language, drawing on elements of 1970s performance art, new music, improvisation cult, folk and pop hybrids, channelling them into asymmetrical tunes of feral beauty... The three delightfully polymorphic perverse discs unite sparkling solo sax, pieces for cello and woodwind sextet, synth / concrete electronic music, nocturnal improvisations, rare 90's New York free jazz compositions, and the Kreuzberg suite — a distilled culmination of a hundred nights of Berlin mayhem into ecstatic swinging lyricism... Limited edition of 1000 copies, packaged in a pro-press digisleeve jacket which itself is housed in a one-tone silk screened pvc sleeve." - PAN.

"Berlin's berserk Frieder Butzmann composes an uninterrupted stream of timbre changing and alternating sounds. Taking influence from aspects of Karlheinz Stockhausen's work, albeit certainly far from Serielle Komposition methods, using an entirely different array of equipment and caring less for technical finesse, a raw and sometimes absurd quality emerges. In spite of the dramatic character of the compositions, Butzmann works with the same joy and intuition of when he first heard them almost 40 years ago. Manipulating analogue sounds culled from old electronic recordings that he made at STEIM in Amsterdam back in 1995 (using the infamous 'Black Box' modular system), a dadaistic influence shines through in the semi-naive use of electronics, vocals and undefined sound sources - the basic idea is always more important than the perfect realization..." Highly recommended and definitely one of our favourite PAN releases.

"Deluxe vinyl issue of one of the most important albums of modern music and quite simply some of the finest computer audio excursions unleashed in recent years. Sun Pandämonium is the third full- length album from Florian Hecker, originally released in CD format on Mego in 2003... Striking the listener from many angles with a diverse range of fiercely dynamic electronic scenarios, Hecker utilizes the computer to materialize new compositional strategies, leaving behind standard musical structures and seeking out unusual timbral and textural effects. As the American online journal Pitchforkmedia states: “Loud and overwhelming at any volume setting,” Sun Pandämonium contains “the sounds and frequencies not only of diamonds being sharpened, but then being used to etch directly on the lenses of your optical readers. Call him a sick fuck, a genius, or even Mister Antichrist, but this will cleanse the audio palate as it blows your teeth out.”..." - PAN. Essential.

"This new Tim Hecker release is composed of sketch pieces recorded in 2010 in preparation for what would become the Ravedeath, 1972 album. All of the compositions are piano driven and minimal in nature.
This is not a new Tim Hecker album, but rather a peek behind the curtains into the working process. That these pieces stand on their own as compelling soundworks is a testament to the fact that Tim Hecker is at the absolute top of his game at the moment." - Kranky.

An amazing set from one of the most obscure Japanese industrial / power-electronics acts of the 80’s, Grim aka Jun Konagaya. Most of Grim’s trademark tracks are either bizarre heavy industrial or graceful folk songs. In the very early 80s Jun formed White Hospital together with Tomosada Kuwabara. They released one album called "Holocaust" in 1984 and split. At that time Jun had already released the “Vital” tape as Grim. Kuwuhara moved on to form Vasilisk while Jun continued as Grim releasing one LP, a 12” and a 7” as well as contributing to several compilations during the 80’s. This set collect all available material. Highly recommended.

Originally released on a limited critically acclaimed VHS edition, this succulent re-issue present an exclusive extra, WELCOME TO CANDYLAND, an interview with the author and, at the same time, an exciting voyage through some cult virtual-hyper-reality-simulacro. The OJ chase, Hollywood forever cemetery, Dr. Phil are just some ingredients of this delicious visual trippy cake. The movie Rapture Adrenaline is an educational mixtape program, a cyber marine combat training video designed through primitive editing techinques. Operating mythological transformations of popular movie iconography, it reaches the merging point of the magical and the political. - Hundebiss.

We dug up the original 2" reels from the 2000 session, had Mell Dettmer bake the tapes, made the multitrack transfers and send the drive over to IC studios. The intial brief was to hopefully come up with to come up with something in the veiin of Nurse’s legendary Soliloquoy for Lilith set (my favorite release of the collective)..." - Stephen O'Malley.

"In 1976, a self-released LP by Art Zoyd appeared in Belgian record stores. At the time, nobody knew Symphonie Pour le Jour où Brûleront les Cités (Symphony for the Day Cities Will Burn) would be the first of many albums from this strange chamber progressive rock outfit.
All the ingredients of Art Zoyd's sound for its first decade are here: unusual acoustic instrumentation for a rock band (violin, cello, piano, and trumpet, plus guitar, bass, and percussion), dark and mysterious atmospheres recalling France's Magma and foretelling Univers Zero (formed by Art Zoyd percussionist Daniel Denis), and complex pieces owing as much to contemporary classical as to progressive rock. The album is split in two. First is Symphonie Pour le Jour où Brûleront les Cités in three parts, an apocalyptic work opening with mad laughter, a vision of the end of the world with percussion clashing, frenetic violin motifs, and the trumpet from Judgment Day..."

After a series of killer 12"s, and one of our favourite albums of 2011 (the unsurpassed 'What We Have Learned') Lebanese producer Rabih Beaini, a.k.a. Morphosis, seems almost unstoppable. For the second remix 12" of tracks from 'What We Have Learned', Berlin techno don Marcel Dettmann (who also seems to be on something of a roll at the moment) delivers two 'Definitions' of 'Too Far', one of the stand-out cuts from the LP. Both remixes shed a completely different light on the darkened dancefloor grooves of the original, which is also included here. Thoroughly recommended.

"Although it stems from the same artistic process as Volume One in the 'Doctor Boogie presents' series, this is not Volume Two of a series devoted to Bob Hite. The process WAS different in that here I focused on much more obscure tracks taken from the very small portion of what remains of the collection of 78rpms owned by the late and legendary Bob Hite. The collection of this boogie music ogre reached 20,000 78rpms in 1968.
However, toward the end of his life, Hite was forced to sell chunks of his treasure to pay off debts, and the leftovers were literally pillaged after his death.Canned Heat's drummer Fito de la Para managed to salvage a tiny slice of this collection.
The first compilation album devoted to Bob Hite's records focused on a handful of Blues giants, including six titles from Elmore James' repertoire. Here, since there will be no sequel, I decided to pack as much music as I could on vinyl..."

After the epiphany of An Aural Symbiotic Mystery by Charlemagne Palestine and Tony Conrad this is the first solo work by Charlemagne on Sub Rosa. An impressive composition of more than 140 minutes based on a unique instrument - a double piano on which one keyboard is played by the feet.
”Several years ago Martin Kaufmann of Kaufmann Pianos in Brussels told me he had seen and heard an amazing and unique instrument in Italy - A piano with 2 separate bodies! One with a normal grand piano body having 88 notes to be played with the fingers, and below this piano was a second piano also with a grand piano body which could play simultaneously the lower 37 notes of a grand piano with pedals for the feet..."

Dub Taylor is a U.S. composer, producer, engineer and designer born June 22, 1948 in Burbank, California. He has many creative facets: recording and mastering engineer, record producer as well as composer, graphic designer and visual artist. He has studied with pianist Richard Bunger and composer Karlheinz Stockhausen. Highly recommended.
"Lumière evolved over a period of three years from 1969 to 1972. I started by recording random sounds: jets taking off at LAX, my girlfriend laughing and screaming, my cat Bartok biting a microphone, conversations, etc. I also sampled music, film soundtracks and TV and radio broadcasts. During this period I acquired the first self-contained portable synthesizer, the newly-designed ARP 2600..."

The asymetrically patterned underlay is scored for drums, household objects and handheld percussion; at points scything fuzz guitar cuts through the sense of ritual with abandon and deep synths bubble up out of nowhere before dissipating into solo shakuhachi.
Amaranthine is another typically atypical Youngsian release in which he ventures deep into uncharted musical space, all the while retaining his essential Youngs-ness. Limited to 500 copies" - MIE Music.
Undoubtedly the best and most unique vinyl release from Richard Youngs since Like A Neuron, his 2009 all-synth LP on Dekorder. Recommended.

"A female psychopath is prematurely released from an asylum for the criminally insane. What little is left of her mind soon gives way, as her gluttonous appetite for food is shockingly equalled by her appetite for blood! A 'must' for horror fans! Note: this is not a noise record, it's a fear document. Co-produced by Saxon Gregory Productions straight from VHS. Professionally pressed CD in full colour digipak, edition of 150." - Troniks.

"A 2007 Camp Blood live grumble located somewhere between Midwestern heavy bummer (David Reed of Luasa Raelon / Envenomist) and West Coast bad attitude (Phil Blankenship of The Cherry Point / LHD). 29:24, no overdub, no edit, no joy. Originally intended for LP release before being rejected as 'too much', it has now escaped as a professionally pressed CD in full color digipak, edition of 175." - Troniks.

"Public Information presents the first ever compilation of the lost work of British electronic music pioneer Frederick Charles Judd. Electronics Without Tears represents a mammoth undertaking between Public Information, film artist Ian Helliwell and F.C. Judd's widow Freda and son Peter. Trawling through his tape archives Public Information have pulled almost an hour's worth of material into a sonic whole that easily stands alongside that of Judd's better known peers, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram and John Baker.
Fred pursued a career marked by innovation, invention and exploration, disseminating his new electronic music across the country through lectures, radio and writing. The 35 tracks on Electronic Without Tears highlight a prolific and thrilling era in Fred's life, next generation music and sound entirely made at home, with self-built equipment." - Public Information.

"Ramp is very proud to present the first release on the label from new signing, Dro Carey. Coming straight outta Sydney, Austraila, the DroC has been actively freaking people out with his Brain So Soft Tumblr for the past 18 months, earning him a place in FACT Magazine’s coveted Ones To Watch in 2011. A few almost impossible to get hold of releases on Will Bankead’s Trilogy Tapes, Templar Sound, and Ikonika’s Hum&Buzz, labels followed, along with an epic two hour FACT mix. Both an audio and visual artist, Dro arrives at Ramp with new EP; Journey With The Heavy, and first real mission statement to the world. Written as a love letter to early house music, Carey’s EP is as unhinged and hazy as his previous work, but showing a new, fresh, focused approach to his sound. His music lands deep in the Atlantic, equidistant from both the rhythms of modern day London and yearning dulcet harmonies of Detroit." - Ramp. Recommended.

"Lethal footwork from three originators. The A is dancefloor murder, honed and nasty, vintage Chicago and Detroit gone clear across the SA border; the flip is a fierce, futuristic juke vocal collage, hard as nails." - Honest Jons.

"Morphosis epic remix is more spaced and spooked than the original — the dread in check — but still body-rocking and stepping out of its silences. B-boy rimshots, a rough snare, a thumping kick-drum and spare bass are layered with emotive synths and brilliant effects, as Shackleton's dream liturgy unfolds in its full, twisted glory — an eerie, garbled sublimity, like a kind of black-magic plainsong. Magnificent work by Rabih Beaini." - Honest Jons.
