Memorial
Tip! First time vinyl reissue. As part of the 25th anniversary of Hospital Productions, the second CD from Richard Ramirez appeared in the sacred year of 1997 on the monolithic Praxis Dr. Bearmann imprint from Germany producing classics in a near perfect label discography from Merzbow, Macronympha, Militia, Aube, Taint, and more. In tribute to the late Kevin Ogg who was an early and influential member of Black Leather Jesus, Memorial stands as one of "the ones" that put Mr. Ramirez on the map wi…
Entropic trash apotheosis
Tip! "Back in 2009 I had a small exhibition and a collaboration show with Yasutoshi Yoshida (one of my favorite noise artists ever, by the way) at Flying Teapot in Tokyo. I was also supposed to go to his place and record something but I got drunk and lost like an asshole. 13 years later our collaboration mayhem is out." Mastered by Ivan Fu for extra damage. Manuel's (Narcolepsia) words: "Yasutoshi Yoshida and Nicola Vinciguerra have both carved their own corner in underground, being consistent t…
The Temple of Sadism
Tip! Jumping Tiger consists of: Richard Ramirez (vocals, feedback) and Dominick Fernow (electronics, metals). Studio versions of two tracks from the now infamous Demo and one unreleased track. "As both old and young entered the temple they were forced to undress and photographed in front the of swordsmiths."
Wasteland Jazz Ensemble
Tip! Wasteland Jazz Unit is a staple in the world of destroyed music. With countless releases cataloged by a literal who's who in the field, (cassettes, CDrs and records on American Tapes, Troniks, New Forces, Oxen, Torn Light, Nashazphone and of course - there was a split 7" w/ Tiger Hatchery on Gilgongo), the duo of Jon Lorenz and John Rich occasionally expand their scathing, feedback-saturated reed work into a full ensemble. Here, as a 7 piece group including Dylan Posa (guitar), Edward Ricar…
Rainbow Electronics
Tip! *199 copies limited edition* Originally released on CD in 1990 by Alchemy Records as part of the Good Alchemy Series, Rainbow Electronics marks the pinnacle of Merzbow's late 80’s noise phase. Selected and transformed from about 21 hours tape of primitive raw material recorded during three years (1987-1990) in 14 fragments lasting about 74 minutes, this monumental work is an aural trip through a cold plotted universe of intergalactic space ships and golden celestial bodies. Remastered in De…
Piper Club
Piper Club is the choral narration of a heinous suburb. Infinite solitudes, brutal relationships, hyperviolence and addiction, concrete landscapes and puddles of mud. Names, pictures, small geographies corroded and humiliated by obscene writings on the wall, these are the fragments that put together Piper Club’s first album. Unfiltered northeastern Italy, it’s anatomy dissected by trembling hands. Raw power electronics with harsh elements, contaminated by the most morbid hardcore. No synthesizer…
Katatonia
*300 clopies limited edition. 2022 stock* "Obscure solo venture of Heinz Christian Wilp (founder of Der Schwarze Kanal, as well as ZU guitarrist and occasional member, as percussionist, of Das Synthetische Mischgewebe), which was active from 1984 to 1987. “Katatonia”, originally put out by italian cult label ADN (as the Zona Industriale reissue in this batch), is probably the release most people associate with the project, and an absolutely essential document of 80s tape culture that Narcolepsia…
Antimonument
*In process of stocking. 300 copies limited edition* "This is probably one of the most industrial Merzbow's records that he ever made. For an album in transitional period between his early musique concrète/sound collage pieces and later harsh noise works that he's best known for, it's nothing surprising. Nevertheless fact remains that Antimonument sounds pretty different from any other of his records, but instead of explaining it by the former way, I'd rather see it as a very intentional artisti…
Psychorazer
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "An odd release that doesn't seem to follow any sort of a recognizable theme or singular approach to noise, just three random tracks pasted together. In the first track there's not much interesting variation within it. The second track is a cool Music for Films evoking electronic drone that's also 56 seconds long. The main course here is the third track, which is a massive beast of thick fuzz that has a very strange, "rattly" effect to it, ach…
Gascha Muche
Tip! *In process of stocking* An extended and remastered edition of this excellent tape (one of my favorites in the AAD catalog) that came out last year and sold out way too fast. When I first heard this material I immediately knew it was worthy of a CD edition, but we already had everything mapped out for a tape. So here it finally is, just in time for his East Coast Tour this Fall...and this is not an act you can afford to miss...truly one of the most unpredictable and interesting Harsh Noise …
Dark Water Otter Whores
Tip! *In process of stocking* Reissue of the infamous collaboration between Canadian Harsh Noise titans The Rita, Taskmaster & Sick Buildings. Originally available as a single sided tape that was only the 15th AAD release at the time (2007), this was and still is an important document of "Harsh Noise Wall" in it's earlier more dynamic developmental stages.

Torso of a Centaur
*In process of stocking* Roman Marble is an exciting under the radar project from Japan, who I first discovered after their submission to the "Hidden Promulgation" compilation awhile back (and that track actually ended up being one of my favorites on there). I have been eagerly anticipating this full length release ever since, and it does not disappoint.
Past efforts were more HNW based (and equally good) but this one is a departure from the confines of that style in favor of a more free and exp…
