Here Comes Success
Though their prior records were all respectable, Band of Susans saved a knockout punch for their swan song, Here Comes Success. A solid collection of lengthy guitar workouts, it's not the best record to get a quick fix from (the nine tracks average seven minutes in length). Success certainly demands close attention, but that's easy to give, thanks to its thick hypnotics. Hell Bent is the Susans' absolute zenith, an entrancing ice-jolt that unfolds and coils in superb dynamic fashion. When bassis…
Obsolete
**Very small repress in replica textured sleeve! This can be considered as close to the original as one can be, few copies available.** "Here's another Gong album no one seems to know about, as this is basically Gong plus poet/musician Dashiell Hedayat (otherwise known as Melmoth). Evidently the lyrical content (especially on the suite "Eh, Mushroom will you mush my room?") is hallucinogen-related, and if you are an early David Allen-period Gong fan, you are sure to love this one as it is classi…
Luz Azul
**350 copies** "Luz Azul is a group started by LA-based vocal and performance artist Anna Homler (aka Breadwoman) together with musicians Marcos Fernandes and Robert Montoya in 2007. On this record they compose their own mesmerising cosmic universe where the hypnotic speaking in tongue voice of Anna Homler blends mesmerisingly together with the sound of her found toys, intensified by the shamanistic percussion of Marcos and the pulsating electronics of Montoya. As fellow percussionists and sound…

Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour
This publication is a facsimile edition of Sol LeWitt’s iconic Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour. Originally published in 1977, the publication stands as an enduring example of LeWitt’s rigorous process-driven practice, which utilized simple conceptual parameters to generate complex and formally-diverse visual works. Four Basic Kinds of Lines & Colour is a composite of two earlier publications—Four Basic Kinds of Straight Lines (1969) and Four Basic Colours and Their Combinations (1971). Each …

Vampire Vultures
2009 reprint, originally published in 2000. The publication of How Bluegrass Music Destroyed My Life did a great deal to spread the word of John Fahey's literary talents, though sadly only a year before he died. Vampire Vultures is an unexpected gift and should ease the grief of those who thought they would never hear anything from John Fahey again. Originally a project of his own conception, it was to be an epic work that would expand on many of the characters and experiences he introduced in B…
Simulacra
"First released in 1989 as a tape on the legendary German label Cthulhu Records and re-released in 1998 by OEC as limited vinyl, this legendary album by Ain Soph and Sigillum S finally sees the light for the first time on CD format. An absolute masterpiece of Ritual Music by those two primer Italian post-industrial acts."
Aurora
"After the first edition back in 1992 on Cthulhu Records, and the OEC re-edition in 2003 here comes the 3rd edition of this very seminal album! As for the first re-edition, to the album was added one unreleased exclusive track recorded during the same first Aurora recording sessions but never used on any album nor compilations. This album is to be considered a pioneers opera of neo-folk cabaret which has influenced many artists. A very controversial and politically incorrect album talking about …
Oktober
"Finally here comes a re-edition of this great Ain Soph album! This new edition comes with a completely new designed artwork and an additional 3" miniCD containing a new audio track recorded in 2008 + a video track! The comeback of the Roman masters with the Aurora follower album : Oktober. A unique blend of Italian cabaret and true Italian folk songs. All is sung in Italian with Ain Soph's usual acoustic instrumentation and their typical keyboards... Songs in the way of Aurora but with an addit…
III
"This stuff was previously produced by the band only as tape in a very limited edition of just 100 copies and never reissued... until now! This legendary tape is finally re-released as a 2CD set. First disc features Ritual 00, which is an endless trancy loop used for a Bhakti Yoga rite which can be used also as background for ritual concentration... The second disc is entitled The failure of Jesus, Visible Obscurity, Garbage, the City and the Death... For sure the more obscure and rare Ain Soph …

"CD repress of the original Ain Soph debut album! A must for all researchers and collectors of early exoteric dark industrial…""Ain Soph are a legendary group - or rather an entity - that over the years has managed to win a small but select following, reaching a true cult status. Formed in the early '80s in Rome, they started their activity by publishing a series of tapes not intended for publication but intended as real "magic" rituals. These were sound experiments inspired by magic texts, in p…
Alienist
**500 copies, 2020 stock** "Psychic TV and Genesis P-Orridge don’t need large introductions. In 1981 Genesis broke with Throbbing Gristle (the pioneers of Industrial music) noise attacks in order to produce more psychedelic, Kraut rock influenced sounds. PTV's Force the Hand of Chance and Dreams Less Sweet are defining albums. The stylistic range goes from carefully orchestrated, psychedelic works to Acid House to Industrial, basically whatever floated Gen’s boat, s/he happily adapted it and for…

Chaosphere
**2020 stock** "Finally available for the very first time, exactly 15 years after its completion, here it is T.A.C.'s lost album Chaosphere. Recorded between November 1997 and February 1998 in New York City, Chaosphere was planned to be the sequel of Apotropaismo (also out on OEC) disclosing, in typical T.A.C. style, the "other side" of that album: gone were the lush and variated instrument array leaving room to a grey and menacing cloud of analogue electronics and sparse ambient samples. For th…
