Abandon
Philadelphia-based K. Geiger is active under the guises of Dead Door Unit, Master Grave Services, and his imprint French Market Press producing ultra-limited noise tapes (often 7 copies or less) in unusual packaging that echoes labels like Sound Probe or SFCR. "Abandon" brings with it a refinement in style differentiating itself from early cassettes like "Laugh At The Devil". While I once described that release as reminiscent of an embryonic Prurient, this debut disc is both an evolution and a p…
Laugh At The Devil
Tip! *2024 reprint* Dead Door Unit is the alias of Northeastern US artist Ken Geiger. The project follows in an exploratory vein of tape-recorded junk noise and field recordings. "Laugh At The Devil" is a work raucously out-of-time, bringing to mind the murk of mid-aughts Hanson releases or even the obscure malice of Dom Fernow's earlier work. Geiger breeds a fresh perspective through destruction and reassembly; "desperation."
Noise Matrix
Tip! Noise Matrix unleashes material from the same sessions as noisembryo and counterpart 'hole' and selected recordings from the time period. Originally released as a bonus disc on the definitive ’Noisembryo' 2xcd edition noise matrix absolutely can’t be missed for fans of this period of noise deity Merzbow. When people ask where to start with merzbow or the entire 90’s noise movement in japan - this is an answer! Masami Akita’s surrealism of the past stands prominently relevant to this day co…
Satanic Hair Dye
"Back in the middle ages when people commuted to work something sinister and something primary colored was brewing. Satanic hair dye. True crime cosmopolitans were conjured through various doorways to hell. One of those is the entire city of present day los angeles where the germs and rodney collect coupons and groupies. A place where the bright lights are seriously luciferian and the dreams are the dreams of fallen angels. Acid children party freely in the underpasses and cement iron courtyards…
Trick
Hospital Productions is proud to announce ‘Trick’ on 2xLP format. “Trick’ is deeply important to the Hospital history as it was the first time working with the icon Richard Ramirez in 1999. 5 tracks spread across each disc ‘Only If You Want To Fuck’ and ‘Voyage Of Tempted Flesh’. ‘Trick’ shows Ramirez at his most focused, linear, and darkest noise that only he can do. Listeners will be torn between minimalist brittle static and eerie envelope-filter delayed electronics creating a chasm of gravel…
Oxidation

Mechanization Takes Command
"Mechanization Takes Command" was first released on Music-Cassette by Masami Akita on his own ZSF label back in 1983 and this, after 40 years, is the very first re-edition into CD format. A very special and historical album. The large part of sounds on this album have an analogue origin. Masami on this album plays Drums (?) and Guitar (?)... But also many other instruments and sound-surces such as TV ands Vocal samples. And of course Electronics, Loops, Effects, Drum-Machines... The overall is v…
Default Standard
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Emerging from the vibrant tapestry of Japan's experimental music scene in the late '80s, Incapacitants had beginnings as Toshiji Mikawa's solo project in 1981. The original epicenter of their creative endeavors was Osaka, where Mikawa collaborated with luminaries such as Yamatsuka Eye, JOJO and others. However, the trajectory of Incapacitants evolved with a move to Tokyo, where Fumio Kosakai joined forces with Mikawa, solidifying the current duo that continues t…

...It Is Death.
A true gem of modern power electronics, with a vision and a personal touch and not just another boring rehash or real cheap version of the classics, as you can mostly find in recent years, especially when centered around such eternal themes. Absolute pinnacle in the art of Mike Golen, definitely not a new name that you should also know for his contribution to bands such as Sea Of Shit, Paucities and Winters In Osaka. ''A grim exploration of death, depression and confronting one's own mortality. …
Like Straw and Meaningless
Cría Cuervos is the personal project of our old pal Eugenio Maggi, active since the 90s, and one of the most discreet, elusive, meaningful participants to 'the scene' that come to my mind when I think about ''italian underground''. ''Like Straw and Meaningless'' continues his new phase started with ''Bovarism'' on JDV moving from dark / ambient territories to a more stripped down yet atmospheric form of harsh noise. First copies come with a sticker.
