Das Testament
Amazing remix album by the Czech Opening Performance Orchestra. Opening Performance Orchestra using the very noisy Das Testament from 1983 by M.B. are able to make an even more abrasive and challenging work than the original. Possibly one of the best M.B. remix album we have listened to in a long time. Very Recommended! Edition of 200 copies in digipack with 8 pages booklet with text in Italian, Czech and English.
Grudge For Life: A Book About Ramleh
**360 pages; Hardback Cover** “I don’t see myself as being in charge. It is an equal partnership. We only do things that we both want to do. If I love an idea and Anthony doesn’t, I will work on it solo, as I would expect him to do if I wasn’t sure about an idea of his. Other people that help out have a lot of creative input in that we rarely tell anyone what to do. It’s up to them but, after the recordings are made, it is up to me and Anthony to decide what to do with the material we have. More…

Transparent green vinyl + 8 page 12” booklet + download with 11 bonus tracks redeemable from the label.** Throbbing Gristle's second album, remastered - making for markedly superior sound quality to some previous editions - and reissued on Industrial Records. This finds the band at their sleazy (no pun intended) and savage best, reaching an apogee of apoplectic rage on 'We Hate You (Little Girls)', and has to rank as one of the most brilliant British evocations of decay and dys…
Throbbing Gristle’s Greatest Hits
**Transparent orange vinyl + 8 page 12” booklet + download with 9 bonus tracks.** First released by Rough Trade in 1980 with the apt subtitle Entertainment Through Pain, it's an unbeatable summary of crucial material from Gen, Chris, Cosey and Sleazy's first three albums (Second Annual Report, DoA: The Third and Final Report and 20 Jazz Funk Greats), taking in the robo-fetish disco of 'Hot On The Heels of Love', the piss-streaked paranoia of 'Subhuman', the deadpan synth-pop pretensions of 'Unit…

One side from a long lost Knees and Bones session, one side of pre-industrial music, live at CBGBs supporting Suicide 1979, one side a 25-minute live piece of ancient, very good material from 1977 (sounds like John Cage/Penderecki), one side of free jazz live improvisation with Borbetomagus, one side new total noise, etc. This is one of those very very extreme (if not most extreme) VOD releases and VOD rates it…

The film…
