Para Araras
The return of Ninos Du Brasil following on from 2014’s excellent 'Novos Misterios' album for Hospital Productions and a 12” EP for DFA.Two new extended Ninos Du Brasil productions mark Nico and Nicolo’s first new material since 2014’s much-praised Novos Misterios album. Para Araras finds them upping their production levels to deliver an oddly compelling blend of joyous adventure theme-park music crossed with the chaos and explosive tension of mass street protests. The A-side’s A Magia Do Rei dis…
Era of Manifestations
People of the North may have begun life as a satellite of Brooklyn avant-everything institution Oneida, but it’s increasingly difficult to view the project as anything less than a primary concern. From the raw garage krautrock of 2010’s Deep Tissue to the snarled wavelength scrambling of 2013’s Sub Contra, People of the North is where organist Bobby Matador and drummer John Kid Millions—joined, frequently, by Oneida guitarist Shahin Motia—go to really let their hair down.

Killer Nun
Death Waltz Recording Company is proud to present yet another soundtrack from the video nasty age, guaranteed* to cause you harm and go out and murder and rape others, this time in the name of the lord. Corrupting your mind this time is Alessandro Alessandroni’s score to Giulio Berruti’s nunsploitation classic Killer Nun (Suor Omicidi). Anita Ekberg stars as Sister Gertrude, a member of the sisterhood who descends into shocking depths of homosexuality and drug addiction while shocking her little…
Muscle Up
Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem Records have teamed up again to release another volume of gay porn soundtracks by San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the canon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music, "The San Francisco Sound." Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco where he founded …
Cognition / Observation

It’s a follow-up of sorts to 'Timon Irnok Manta (one of Fact’s top 50 LPs of 2012 and appears following on from last years brilliant collaboration with Ariel Kalma for RVNG Intl.

Improvisations
This unique collection comes with an attractive and profusely illustrated 144-page book with many previously unpublished photographs of Gurdjieff and recollections of people who were present when these recordings were made. It further contains several chapters by Gert-Jan Blom about the process of selecting and sequencing the tracks, audio restoration of the recordings, the history of Gurdjieff’s harmonium music, transcriptions of Gurdjieff’s stories and an extensive track notes-section. The boo…
L' Oeil Ecoute / Dedans - Dehors
2014 Repress. Third release on the newly minted eMego offshoot Recollection GRM, two pieces realized by Bernard Parmegiani in 1970. The former is full of negative space and low, coiling drones. For listeners whose only exposure to GRM came in the form of the first two installments in the Recollection GRM catalog, this material will come across as much less frenetic and more cinematic, particularly the beautiful, cosmic landscapes that make up the middle portion of the A-side. "Dedans-Deho…
Slicer
A minimalistic, tone-heavy and slower recording than much of their work, fired with deep electronic and horn-generated tones, stretched and layered over glitch-electronics, ultra-crude tape manipulation, and ear-piercing scraping glass. Nightmarish, painful, and stoned. Coming just months after Dread (Wolf Eyes' first LP as a trio), Slicer was released on cassette in an edition of 50 in 2001. From start to finish, it's a full-fledged sonic experience. Deep stuttering bass, high streams of electr…
Divertissement
**2nd press** Divertissement is the third collaborative full-length from minimalist composer William Basinski and sound artist Richard Chartier. The duo utilizes electronics, piano, tape loops, and short-wave radio to evoke a dense atmosphere suggesting hundreds of years of history rising up from the depths of a reverberating cathedral. Subtle, buried, and intense murmurs of melody morph through this deeply consuming and slowly evolving composition in two parts. William Basinski is a class…
Has anybody seen our freedoms?
Peter Walker is an American original, as eclectic and enigmatic as the songs he writes. The legendary seventy-five year old raga/psychedelic/folk acoustic guitarist, who was schooled by masters such as Ravi Shankar, and Ali Akbar Khan, has been described by Larry Coryell as, “One of the most original practitioners of contemporary music” and proclaimed by the Beatles’ press agent Derek Taylor as “Perhaps the greatest guitarist in the world.” His music, celebrated by the late Jack Rose, James Blac…
Votive Zero
Formed in opposition to the media identity schizophrenia of the present, Thought Broadcast thrive upon the post-punk tactics of forgery and radical anonymity. Votive Zero is the second release on Editions Mego from this mysteriously coded American outfit. Emerging from the U.S. noise/punk background, Thought Broadcast further trace a unique path with nine carefully-considered obfuscations of rhythm and blurred takes on expressionism. Utilizing minimalist spaces, rhythmic repetition and material …
Clack!
"In Fall 1979, R. Stevie Moore squeezed into a midtown Manhattan building at 56 West 45th Street, entered a tiny 8th floor jingle studio run by Englishman Tom Clack, and proceeded to bond bigtime with ambitious engineer Jon Child (who Uncle Harry Palmer had earlier sought out to assist in assembling the original PHONOGRAPHY album) to create one of his greatest collections of music. Still awestruck by his recent move north, R. Stevie first met Jon & Tom when the studio was utilized for compiling …
Consecration of the Whipstain
*Strictly limited pressing - just 440 copies available* Pat Maher has left an indelible mark on our listening habits over the last few years - and in the process has become a producer tipped by many a tastemaker. From the ketamine techno fractals of his Diamond Catalog alias to the cough syrup-laced chopped and screwed productions as DJ Yo Yo Dieting, the guy just seems to have furrowed his own unique path situating him somewhere between the films of David Lynch, the aesthetic of the Tri Angle l…
Plays Wagner - Part One
*Flickering neon tape loops and haunting layered drones for followers of David Lynch - Strictly Limited Copies only, just 150 available in the UK!* Slowly demented and nightmarish wasteland sequences from Portland, Oregon's Pat Maherr, crafting his debut album under the Indignant Senility moniker. Maherr has previously split his time between a plethora of monikers, from the chopped and screwed hiphop of DJ Yo Yo Dieting to Sisprum Vish's lo-fi noise, developing the gritty collage sensibility whi…
Clock Dva LP in bundle
Limited Edition Pressings of six separate Clock Dva Albums circa 1978-80 now available as standalone, separate releases for the first time. Beautiful remastered editions, 200 copies only! That hugely elaborate, hugely expensive ClockDva Box Set from a couple of years ago (A Chronology of Dvation) has long sold out - but Vinyl on Demand have thankfully made a very limited run (200 copies only) of each of these Six LPs that comprise such an integral component in the machinery of early Indu…
Audiostatik Repress
Awsome! Le Syndicat with this reissue of Audiostatik Repress from 1983, certified to be a head-cleaner of brutalist / bruitist / rhythmicist / industrial noise... The rhythm and noise for Le Syndicat evolved through process mingling tape-loops, overblown drum machine programming, shortwave radio experiments, short-circuited consumer electronics, and eventually rudimentary sampler technolog. Audiostatik Repress is a visionnary project in 1983 of what's happened late in the 90'…
BiS Kaidan
It is thunder and lightning, honey and lava, sugar and spice. It is Biskaidan, the murdering encounter of Japanese noise legends Hijokaidan (led by guitarist Jojo Hiroshige and screaming witch Junko) and twisted babydolls Bis (one of the hottest idol bands in Tokyo right now). The music they create sounds like nothing you've ever heard before. A volcano made of gut wrenching screams, distorted guitars, angelic sinings and positive kawaii energy. Biskaidan is the first, the last and the only idol…
The Wires Cracked
The recordings for The Wires Cracked were completed in a frenzied two week period in October of 2012. I had mentioned in discussing a previous album's construction that I prefer to forget how I build any particular electro-acoustic amalgam. This is so that I don't get to precious with them, so that I could refine them further, so that the sounds themselves speak beyond their aggregate parts. With the album being relatively fresh in my mind, I can still recall various components to "The Wi…
Cardinal
Philip Jeck writes: "To make this record I used Fidelity record players, Casio keyboards, Ibanez bass guitar, Sony MiniDisc players, Ibanez and Zoom effects pedals, assorted percussion, a Behringer mixer and it was edited it at home with MiniDisc players and on a laptop computer." "...and they sparkled like burnished brass" "Out of the depths of our complaints, it could be all so simple. To be never fooled by the finesse of a long-yearned for solidity, but in the momentary aplomb of a sle…
