Rapport à une Académie Kafka's Parachute
A “man” tells his fabulous past as an ape, from his capture to his adaptation to the world of men, to the members of an Academy of Sciences.

Lea Tanttaaria / Great-God-Father-Nieces
Another Lenka Lente book/CD combo where you get to discover that ‘Les Ventres et Autre Contes’ translates as ‘The Bellies and Other Stories’ and that Félix Fénéon was an Italian anarchist, art critic and literary stylist with a tremendous goatee beard who didn’t like the portrait that Paul Signac painted of him because he painted it in profile, not face on as requested, but he hung it on his wall anyway. Five short stories here that first saw the light of day in various French literary magazine…
Dark Fat
...A celebration and documentation of 10 years of Nurse With Wound shows but to call Dark Fat a live album is far too simplistic. It is an entirely new recording constructed by combining the most interesting moments of the past decade into unique tracks. We have M.S. Waldron to thank as he is archival commandant of the NWW oeuvre and since 2006 has recorded everything and we mean everything. He has recorded all the live shows, sound-checks, rehearsals, off-stage events and even covertly re…
Soliloquy For Lilith
** few copies in restock, dont sleep** Masterpiece, already sold out at source! Originally recorded and released in 1988, Nurse With Wound's ambient opus was years ahead of its time, a groundbreaking set of atmospheric sound patterns designed for ritual ceremonies. Hailed as a masterpiece on release, it soon became a firm favorite of NWW fans and topped the world ambient chart for over three months! This edition has been expanded to a four-LP set containing the original three LPs plus a 40…
Chromanatron
Machine-numbered edition of 500 copies on wine-red vinyl in a deluxe heavy-duty cover with metallic silver embossing. Chromanatron is the new album from Nurse with Wound, collages of no less than 5 albums by the mythical German band from the late 60s Sand. These five psyche-experimental-krautrock albums include their first oddity Golem, that NWW discovered a long time ago and represented straight away a great source of inspiration for him. A great dedication to Sand, and hat-in-hand, chapeau bas…
Huffin Rag Blues
Nurse With Wound is the main recording vehicle for British musician Steven Stapleton. Since 1978, with collaborators such as David Tibet (Current 93), John Balance (Coil), Colin Potter and Matt Waldron (Irr. App [Ext]), Nurse With Wound has released dozens of albums that draw on nearly every genre of music.

A Sucked Orange/Scrag
Out of print for years, this remastered and repackaged reissue of Nurse With Wound's album A Sucked Orange is coupled with the previously cassette-only release Scrag. It comes packaged in a beautiful six panel digipack with full-color Babs Santini artwork, all finished in a luxurious "soft touch lamination." "Sucked Orange was not conceived as an album. During the eighties I had accumulated several dozen reels of old worn and drastically edited quarter inch magnetic tapes, the debris from Syl…

Rupture
This CD is the first collaboration of Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound and composer/sculptor Graham Bowers. It is, without doubt, one of the best things we have ever released. It's an extremely unnerving, but also hauntingly moving listening experience.The work is an attempt to create a musical illustration of the "goings-on" in the brain during the last hour and three minutes of a life after suffering a major stroke. It is multi-layered and is primarily concerned with the internal chaos caus…
The Iron Soul Of Nothing
Finally, available now as double vinyl set this is a must for fans of both of these legendary sonic travelers: Steven Stapleton & Colin Potter twist SUNN O)))’s 2000 album “ØØVOID” inside out on Nurse’s dissection table. These are NWW versions of Sunn's ØØVOID LP, and first appeared as a bonus disc on the 2008 Japan edition of the album; Stephen O'Malley has now dusted them down for a dedicated vinyl release on his Ideologic Organ imprint. It's a clash of the titans, yes, but the results a…
Erroneous: A Selection Of Errors
Lovely collaborative project, result of the meeting of Italian cult band Larsen and Steven Stapleton’s ubiquitous creature Nurse With Wound. Almost 2 years of file swapping and occasional conceptual meetings led to a multi-headed collection of deformed sounds based on one long NWW piece and two Larsen tracks (that both bands have written specifically for this project) then deconstructed and rebuilt by each other into totally brand new opuses.Erroneous also features Neu! and Kraftwerk original me…
Paranoia In Hi-Fi
LAST COPIES, reduced price...One of the cheapest Nurse With Wound records you'll ever buy -- a special CD with a pricetag of 99p in the UK, selling here for a few dollars more by the time we got it in the US! Still quite a bargain, though -- especially considering the way that NWW rarities go for high prices -- and the CD features a beautiful mix of odd sounds and snippets from earlier work -- material recorded during the years 1978 to 2008, put together with a surprisingly whimsical feel…

Chance Meeting On A Dissecting Table Of A Sewing Machine And An
This is the long-awaited vinyl re-issue of the timeless Nurse With Wound debut release from 1979. Described by Sounds at the time as a record that "makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel," nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 30 years, and to say that this work is the "Sgt. Pepper of the avant-garde" would not be hyperbole. The special box edition will consist of: the double LP, which will be a 2LP set with the extra track "Strain, Crack, Break" (never previously available on …
