I - VI
2011 release (RARE) ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies. "‘A Guide for Reason’ was how Ptolemais of Cyrene, a musicologist from over 2,000 years ago no less, saw the role of perception or sensory experience in sparking a more theoretical compositional process, perhaps suggesting that the work presented here is primarily sensual, designed to inspire the listener to form their own narratives. Meanwhile the often lengthy track titles all seem to be aphorisms optimistically guiding the li…
Ambulance
Holy Tongue (Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton & Susumu Mukai) follow up their critically acclaimed album with a two track 7” on Trule. On the A Side ‘Ambulance Dub’ creeps in like John Carpenter at Firehouse. The B Side ‘The Bigger Tutti’ goes full on Steppers punk. They are all snakes now.
Dry Lungs V
1992 release ** "Fifth and final installment in a series of industrial noise/experimental albums compiled by Paul Lemos of long-running New York group Controlled Bleeding, released in 1992 by Subterranean Records and Dark Vinyl Records.

Noise And Fury (Noise Music Festival June 15-17, 2000)
2001 release ** "HXA from Chelyabinsk was formed in 1987 by Lev Gutovsky, a graduate of Ural State Conservatory. His ensemble was arguably the only professional musical act in the USSR dedicated to creating music for absurdist theatre and postmodernist happening. By the end of the 1990’s, HXA shrunk to a trio of Lev Gutovsky (voice, electronics), Sergey Belov (trombone, electronics) and Olga Leonova (voices) increasingly focused on modern improvised and electro-acoustic music. Lev Gutovsky is cu…
Deep Komis
2010 release ** ""«Deep Komis» by Vazhes, the project of Russian anthropologist and documentary director Sergey Gabbasov, is dedicated to authentic ethnic music of the Permian Komis. This album was made with Rapoon, Northaunt and Fanum. It dips into the hidden and secret world of ancient and primordial nature, of secret and mysterious rituals. On the fanciful turnings of the forest path we will meet authentic ethno music of the Permian Komis, Nordic ambient, ethno-industrial, dub. Interweaving l…
Like A Tree Growing Out Of A Sidewalk
2009 release ** "In this work Dream Weapon Ritual deconstructs and reassembles the thin substance of dream and vision in a performance-ritual that, moulding together organic electronics and treated acoustic instruments, takes place in an invisible and vague terrain; an unexplored territory, where the borders between song, theatre and installation blur. "Like A Tree Growing Out Of A Sidewalk" started as a multimedia performance with collaboration of visual artist Elisabetta Saiu, whose video, pro…
Music From Hi-Fi Sessions
2005 release ** Improvised music sessions, made using 4 custom turntables, edit scratched vinyls played in forced locked grooves, hand made phonograph, microphone, delay pedal, environmental feedback, mixer. Recording and mastering on PC. All Tracks sounds exactly as it was recorded.
Age
Quickly on the heels of their debut, Cuneiform Tabs return with Age, an LP that takes a massive leap forward in both melodic sensibilities and inventiveness. Bathed in late night psychedelia and the looping repetition of a drone sample, the group's experimental penchants remain, yet this time wrapped around tunes too sweet to be denied. In pulling back a little of the crackle and haze that made their first album so inviting, the Tabs have revealed more of their pop instincts. The overall effect …
Kate Cincinnati
2025 stock For forty-two years and counting, the long-running experimental Chicago group ONO has been committed to—as their mission statement says—exploring gospel's darkest conflicts, tragedies and premises as an experimental, noise, and industrial poetry performance band, charting a defiant course through a sea of seemingly disparate influences. One of few Black bands taking part in the ‘80s industrial and experimental underground, ONO’s first album Kate Cincinnati is a crucial document, showc…
My Right Of Frost
2012 release ** My Right of Frost draws sound signs from electronic circuits rewired and made unstable up to the feedback’s critical point. The sequences proposed are totally improvised from the point of view of the musical value of the sounds, and tonally unrepeatable. Across and beyond the concept of circuit bending, My Right of Frost operates constantly on the verge of oscillators and filter’s collapse, extemporizing electronic paths that diverge to form a macro-sign, i.e. the artwork.
Acrid Acme (Of) P16.D4
1989 release (RARE) ** "The acRID acME [of] P16.D4 might be the most well known work, no doubt due to the unique approach taken for the first segment: in 1987, the P16.D4 dredged recordings from the 1981 punk incarnation and placed them in a completely different context. As a result, "Maba 4. 12." and "Rotting Outscratched" reveal their initial forms, the former with the occasionally perceptible fragment of punk thrash sipping out unscathed from the abused tapes, and the latter allowing a hint o…
Ear Wash
2003 release ** "Crazy free noise, controlled chaos & vocals in usual Sudden Infant's Childish-Industrial style."
