Antimateria
*50 handnumbered Editions on green 135g Vinyl* Maurizio Bianchi is one of the founders of early industrial and noise music and should be familiar to most. For Antimateria he contributed two brand new, merging pieces in which he approaches the theme through sounds of luminescent and rushing keyboard clusters.

Verrückt
'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.
Computers S.P.A.
*300 copies limited edition. Includes CDr and tote bag* "After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn. After the "concretistic" beginnings and the synthesis between integral concretism and artificial synthetism, in the autumn of 1980 I arrived at the synthetic court of the purest and most uncompromising electronics and thus the "Computers S. P. A." project was born, consisting of two improvisations on the Korg MS synth…
Buchenwald
The seminal classic first Whitehouse album released in 1980, one of the most important and influential records from the embryonic field of electronic and industrial music
Hole in the heart
* Black Vinyl Edition * On its initial release in 1987 on Broken Flag, Hole in the Heart was a radical reinvention of Ramleh. The band had split in 1984 after two years of power electronics noise assaults and it was assumed this would be more of the same. Listeners were in for a shock though. Gary Mundy, the sole survivor from earlier line-ups was a big fan of the writer Jean Genet and had been deeply upset to hear of his death and had recorded a four track solo tribute called Hole in the Heart …
The Plain Truth
* Limited edition in Orange/Yellow vinyl. 155 copies * When I started my record label Broken Flag in 1982, one of the people I really wanted to work with was Maurizio Bianchi. His album “Symphony for a Genocide” was such a haunting, evocative record that I needed to get in contact with the man who made it. We made contact and remained regularly writing letters to each other, mine in my unintelligible scrawl, his in his red ink on photocopy paper. He was massively prolific and I soon became a dis…
Mission Of Dead Souls
*CD Digipack* The final performance of Throbbing Gristle before their initial breakup, at the Kezar Pavillion, San Francisco on 29 May 1981. ‘Mission of Dead Souls’ documents the notorious final performance of Throbbing Gristle in their original incarnation (1975-1981). Recorded at Kezar Pavillion, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco on 29th May, 1981 and unavailable on vinyl since the early ‘90s, it’s now back on wax with a new inner sleeve including photos and a passage of text by Jon SavageRecor…
Heathen Earth
** 2CD card pack with 8 page booklet** A live document of a performance by TG to a small and invited audience on 16 February 1980. Neither an insight into TG’s recording process nor private live show, Heathen Earth is it’s own entity and exists as a document and testament to a group of people at the height of their creative powers, recorded just over a year before they disbanded and terminated the mission. Live performance brought out Throbbing Gristle's talents for improvisation and provocation…
20 Jazz Funk Greats
**Double CD. Remastered edition of Throbbing Gristle's best known and most suavely subversive LP, the one that completely re-defined the meaning of industrial music. ** Originally released in 1979, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is Throbbing Gristle's pop-influenced masterwork. It's hard to believe the beautiful, conventionally-attractive Cosey Fanni Tutti on this album's front cover previously gave herself milk and blood enemas in front of a live audience. Additionally, the song "Hot On The Heels Of Love"…
Kuomintang and Generalissimus Chiang Kaishek
** Edition of 300 numbered copies in cardboard folder ** A collaborative project between Nick Sudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov.

Dedicated To Peter Kurten, Sadist and Mass Slayer
Special 40th anniversary legacy CD edition of Whitehouse's legendary 1981 LP Dedicated To Peter Kurten. Originally released on fluorescent green vinyl, now a highly sought-after collector's item. Even more so than with the earlier Erector, its transgressive themes and wild electronic harshness became a critical defining influence on, indeed often template for, the noise and power electronics genres of the mid/late '80s and long beyond. This brand new Susan Lawly legacy reissue CD features a beau…

Multimixing and multimequalization by Pharmakustik. "When you write an epitaph on your grave, the temptation is to write a famous phrase that lasts over time, demonstrating the yearning for eternity. Instead in the case of MB, there is no epitaph or famous phrase, but only a simple description of its o…
