NNOI#1 Split
Edition of 300 copies, gatefold sleeve. These two well-known Hamburg cook-artists have been stirring in the same pots for 25 years - only! with different spoons. One, the young man, forces his whisk into the sweetest dishes & conjures up delicious dishes - even from the spoiled remains of fish - for the thousands and thousands of hungry mouths. The other, the old gurnard, first pushes his wooden spoon into the humming depths of a beehive to the end of the stem, before enraptured dragging it thr…
NNOI#2 Split
Edition of 300 copies, gatefold sleeve. "This record unites two German greats of the electronic avant-garde of the last 40 years & brings together two worlds that exist like the sides of a coin facing away from each other & yet are firmly connected at the core. NNOI#2 can be described as a kind of miraculous „Göffel“ - a mixture of fork & spoon.Asmus Tietchens, the glass fork, reduces his 9 compositions „Stenograms“ to abstract structures that force a space that transforms its floating hardness…
The 1978-1983
Chen Yi aimed for a collective approach of art. As an isolated group of humans/numbers operating directly from a secret place in Chelmsford (UK), they developped a personnal and "bizarre" utilisation of guitars, machines, voices, distortion, giving as result an unconventional regroupment of compositions amongst a lot of lost or unreleased recordings.

Tapes von Unterwegs 1971-1976
Like his literary fellow traveler William S. Burroughs, who made tape experiments a few years earlier, German beat writer Jürgen Ploog (born 1935) began experimenting with tape recorders in the 1970s. Due to his career as a transcontinental pilot, Ploog was constantly on the go. The material on this LP was recorded and edited by Jürgen Ploog on different flights between 1971 and 1976 on a portable tape-recorder. Final selection, montage and editing by Robert Schalinski. Limited to 500 copies.

1978-1983
The sound of CHEN YI is rough & brutal... electronic music, soundcollages that reminds to Throbbing Gristle or (early)SPK aswell as electro-pop-tracks & songs like early Cabaret Voltaire, Chris & Cosey, Severed Heads...The Chen Yi Commune was founded in 1978 by about 20 women & men from London. The aim of the commune was to create a closed subsystem, a kind of subsociety and to narrow down its contact to the outside world only on very few specific actions.The Chen Yi commune never was interested…
