The Last Technocide
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* September 30 2016 will be an historical date for lovers of true Industrial muzak! In fact this will be the date in which one of the fathers of Industrial, none less that Mr. Maurizio Bianchi / M.B. will play live for the very first time in his long career coadiuvated in this special set by Giovanni Mori (LCB / Le Cose Bianche) and this will be also the first and last live appearance by Maurizio Bianchi. For this occasion maurizio and Giovanni was work…
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…
Profana Liturgija
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* A profane mass interpreted by Dedali and Maurizio Bianchi. First issued as part of the limited edition 2CD of the collaboration album Elektro Tones published in Japan by Noctovision.

Mectpyo / Blut
*2022 stock. 250 copies edition* 'Mectpyo/Blut' came out in 1980 as a ninety-minute cassette and between that and this official double CD Banned Production and Bacteria Field released it on cassette, but also came out as a double LP by Marquis Records and a single LP in Japan on no particular label. This release marks the transition from using the name Sacher Pelz to M.B. and was his first official release as M.B. (or MB, whatever you prefer).Four pieces here, each about twenty-two minutes (henc…
The Plain Truth
* Limited edition in Orange/Yellow vinyl. 155 copies * When I started my record label Broken Flag in 1982, one of the people I really wanted to work with was Maurizio Bianchi. His album “Symphony for a Genocide” was such a haunting, evocative record that I needed to get in contact with the man who made it. We made contact and remained regularly writing letters to each other, mine in my unintelligible scrawl, his in his red ink on photocopy paper. He was massively prolific and I soon became a dis…
Plays the Clockwork Orange
Reissue of a February 1980 decomposition (M.B. skippin' up the film's original soundtrack) from the Italian industrial forereunner. Halting tape cut-ups of the classical score from Kubirick's film. One of the strangest M.B. recordings!
Neuro Habitat
Quality reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the \'soundtrack\' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It\'s the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts.
\"In order to create this sound system, I used the conduc…
Mlifb (USB pen drive)
Experimental movies by Maurizio Bianchi ! MB films illuminate the fascination with space-time abstraction and visualised rhythm that unifies the practice of his music
Ultimum
*Edition of 10 (!) * Ultimumelectronics, ultimumwaves, ultimumdrones, ultimumpictures. Recorded at Emoptyc studio, during the beginning of the year A. S. (Anno Secundo) of the second pandemic era. Multimixing and multimequalization by Pharmakustik. "When you write an epitaph on your grave, the temptation is to write a famous phrase that lasts over time, demonstrating the yearning for eternity. Instead in the case of MB, there is no epitaph or famous phrase, but only a simple description of its o…
Armaghedon
* Edition of 310. Initial copies come with an exclusive MB original Polaroid photo from the time * The original soundtrack for M.B.'s unfinished film of same name. For obscure reasons, the original LP remained unavailable for a long time, and was distributed only one year after it was printed. Moreover, most of the copies were destroyed. This was M.B.'s last vinyl production, and also the only one featuring recordings of the artist's voice like most of Maurizio Bianchi's fascinating works, Armag…
Lastfirst
* Edition of 200 in 6-panel ecopack/digifile * Lastfirst is the brand new project by MB. The work is based on a reworking of his 1999 album entitled First Day Last Day. The original work has been totally reprocessed and reworked into a darker version that reflects even more the dark times we are living in. A symphony that digs deep into our souls and lays bare all our fears. Together with Dead Colours (2003), Lastfirst represents one of the most intense and profound moments in MB's discography. …
Untitled 1980
Limited edition 62 numbered copies. Here is a MB's note: "Concerning the description of why only the right channel, I've only this in memory: I was trying some experiments at my first approach on my new MS20 Korg synthesizer, without any experience on it (because I'm not a musician) and I pushed some button by mistake and the sound came out only in a right channel." "The "Untitled 1980" tape is an old tape without title found from a friend of mine, and I called it this way because its without ti…

Gene-X
**100 copies, sold-out at source. Included in a poster cover (size 42x60 cm) containing the reproduction of 8 collages (size 21x21cm each)** "Maurizio Bianchi created Gene-X in the spring of 1980 as a 'sidereal' evolution of Gene-P. For long time this de-composition was lost in the artist's archives but, after the publication of several bootlegs, the original tape was finally rediscovered. With the help of Siegmar Fricke, the work was restored and is now brought to light in a official and defini…
The Sacral Inhabitat
**200 copies** "It begins. A slow mournful droning as if the very world itself is emitting a long low sigh of anguish. An anguished moan that rises and echoes into the vast subterranean chamber. Imperceptible and indistinct, a gentle tolling of bells emerge from the dark murky sonic abyss that is beginning to slowly unfurl around you. It’s almost as if this almost unobtrusive nebulous pealing of bells is the bell of Charon, sounding as he slowly approaches you on his rust coloured skiff. Upon th…
