Utopian Suns
Tip! Molnija Aura is an electronic ambient/glitch project of Davide Del Col and Andrea Marutti from Milan, Italy. "Utopian Suns" is the project's first full-length album. Recorded and mastered between 2007 and 2009, the CD is inspired by science-fiction themes and space-age relics. Consisting of six tracks created mostly with analogue and digital synthesizers, the album is a long and engaging journey through sidereal dephts: shrouded in the darkness of immense and untouched vastness, beyond the …
Sil Muir
Tip! "Sil Muir presents to us here their first full-length work. It is a beautiful, yet melancholy, hour-long recording carrying us along that sleepless journey from dusk 'til dawn. Powerful and gentle drones shudder and shimmer through these four dense and amazing tracks. Sil Muir is the collaboration between Andrea Marutti (Amon, Never Known, Afe Records) and Andrea "Ics" Ferraris (Ur, Airchamber3, Ulna). Their only previous appearances are a lengthy compilation track on Transf.Order and a col…
Never Existed Before Consequently It Will Never Exist After
Maurizio Bianchi is an Italian pioneer of industrial music and dark ambient, originating from Milan. Bianchi was inspired by the music of Tangerine Dream, Conrad Schnitzler and Throbbing Gristle.

He released four cassettes as Sacher-Pelz before switching to his own name or simply "MB" in 1980. Bianchi corresponded with many of the key players in the industrial mu…
Music For Zoe
*150 copies limited edition* Music For Zoe is the result of the encounter between two masters of free improvisation, Edoardo Ricci (soprano saxophone and bass clarinet) and Lucio Bonaldo (drums) with Gianluca Favaron (computer), a prime mover of electronic sounds often pushed beyond the limits. What emerges from this encounter is a kind of European-style free music, with open structures, sometimes close to radical contemporary improvisation. The acoustic sounds of percussion and wind instruments…

Antimateria
*50 handnumbered Editions on green 135g Vinyl* Maurizio Bianchi is one of the founders of early industrial and noise music and should be familiar to most. For Antimateria he contributed two brand new, merging pieces in which he approaches the theme through sounds of luminescent and rushing keyboard clusters. Coalminer establishes several harsh noise tracks, for which they collaborated with the most diverse artists of the genre, from different countries. With the help of Toshiji Mikawa (Japan, Fo…
Verrückt
'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.
Computers S.P.A.
*300 copies limited edition. Includes CDr and tote bag* "After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn. After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn of 1980 I arrived at the synthetic court of the purest and most uncompromising electronics and thus the "Computers S. P. A." project was born, consisting of two improvisations on the Korg MS synth…
Detrimental Dialogue
Tip! Andrea Marutti and Fausto Balbo met in 2005 at Lab12 in Vigevano; both active in music making since more than fifteen years, their friendship grown over the years on the fertile ground of the interest they share about electronic experimentation and their wide and open-minded listening habits. “Detrimental Dialogue”, their very first collaboration, deeply explores various types of analogue and digital synthesis (additive, subtractive, Physical Modeling, FM, Phase Distortion, Granular, etc.) …

Doa-Hage-Rmn
Limited edition 88 numbered copies. At the dawn of the 1984 year, the apocalyptic interruption of Armaghedon hijacked neurological experimentation on the tracks of ancestral density, whose symbiotic traces can be found in the current Doa-Hage-Rmn, a radiological symphony that draws its inspiration from the electrolytic resonances of the most radical non-conformism. The exhortation is to pay attention to the subliminal message contained therein, which can be lethal for those who will not accept i…

Review from Kata 11, Come Org. 1982:
Suicidal album. Death ia a pleasure after a side of this record - it makes Come's "I'm Jack" seem like "Christmas Oratorio". Let MB be your executioner!

Endometrio / Endometrio De-Composto
*2022 stock* "Towards the end of 1982, I was living a moment of creative stagnation, and for avoid the risk of repeating myself with sterile modular secrations, I had an arterial idea: filering ancient recordings of mine through the aid of an Aiwa mucus echo machine , and so I set to process the sounds, transforming them into something completely new, so I coined the term “bionic music”, composed by concrete sounds recycled with electronic spraying… And as main theme I used the medical syncretis…
S.F.A.G. / S.F.A.G. De-Composed
*2022 stock* "Ante-facts : after the disintegrative period of my production (from “Symphony for a Genocide” to “Das Testament”), the purchase of a misanthropic echo-machine and the consequent decay of the electric-analogue machinery, my efforts was redirected to a pre-recording sound sublimation, so I started to re-compose the electronic metastasis of early times, filtering through dehumanizing effects of the echo-machine, keeping attention particularly to the explanatory process of my ancestral…

Atemporal Activity
'A piece that will continue to be talked about in the vast catalogue of Italian industrial/noise artist M.B. (Maurizio Bianchi), 2016, new domestic release.
Industrial~Noise~Electronic~Ambient, an ambient piece that demonstrates a depressive worldview in all directions, but it is full of M.B. taste that continues to suffer quietly. Twisted ambience, a historical invention of M.B.'s. A universal industrial classic. A destructive force that is more like an ever-expanding electronic cell than noise…
Tapes 1980/1981
*200 copies limited edition* In the "Tape Network" universe of the early 1980s where everything seemed possible, Maurizio Bianchi meets Lieutenant Murnau in two obscure but historical postal collaborations, originally released in a strictly limited edition for the British tape label Flowmotion (It Should Be Used Only Once) and for the German Litanic (Techno-Logy). Two of the best known promoters of the Italian experimental scene create two surreal experiments that anticipate the mash-up vogue, h…
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…
