Noise/Avant-Garde
Transparent green vinyl version in stock. Label info: The first-ever official vinyl edition, completely remastered by Josh Bonati. The turn of the millennium ushered in an apex visionary phase for English esoteric duo Coil. Relocating from the city to the coastal quiet of Weston-super-Mare freed them to follow even more fringe obsessions, fully untethered from peer influence. During a single six-month stretch in 2000 they released the devious underworld sequel to Music To Play In The Dark, arcane drone summit Queens Of The Circulating Library, and a malevolent hour-long synthesizer exorcism prophetically titled Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil. This latter work remains one of the group’s most miasmic and mind-expanding creations, on par with Time Machines – a sustained divination of shuddering, psychoactive noise, rippling with the motion sickness of an all-seeing eye. Thighpaulsandra characterizes the album as “an exercise in brutality,” born from a thorny patch of his Serge modular unit that Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson found entrancing. Processing this sliver of electronics into a ravaged labyrinth was a trial and error process, aided by Christopherson’s visual sense of sound, stretching and manipulating it for maximum spatial disorientating. Frequencies nauseously crawl across the stereo field, burrowing into the ear like a sinister brainwashing experiment. An outlier / centerpiece is the 13-minute alien tribalist sea shanty, “I Am The Green Child,” guided by John Balance’s sung-spoken free verse concerning vengeance, oblivion, and insanity, culminating in the memorable refrain, “We're swimming in a sea of occidental vomit.” But the rest of the record seethes in unhinged instrumental chaos, divided into 18 micro-movements of a composition called “Tunnel Of Goats.” Intended to scramble the functionality of a CD player’s shuffle mode, the piece throbs, thrashes, and flatlines in compressed frenzies of twisted synthesis, at the threshold of some bottomless purgatory, forbidding and unknown.
Bruits de Fond, Cheap Satanism Records, Mont Analogue team up to release this new album by Ripit! Ripit is back with a new LP after 3 years spent mostly on the mesmerizing collaboration between The Ångströmers - his duo with Frédéric Alstadt - and the Haitian voodoo ensemble Chouk Bwa. While Ripit is better known for his radical noisy breakbeat work, "A church or a factory" explores a more industrial, power electronic and noise ambient side of his synthesizer lust. The instruments abused on this record are: Serge Modular, Knifonium and various Eurorack modular. The A-side comes with 5 powerful synthetic industrial songs which feature each one a different guest vocalist. The B-side is a long ambient noise piece that will plunge the listener in an anxious meditation. Ripit is the project of the French Nicolas Esterle for almost 25 years. He explores electronic instruments thru distortion , ranging from industrial hardcore to breakcore, from doom hiphop to dusty dub. Beside his solo project, he's involved in various bands like Solar Skeletons (with Tzii), Fujako (with HHY) and more recently The Ångströmers. On the guest side, there's a wild bunch of Nicolas' friends : - Paul-tergeist is the galactic moniker of Paul Beauchamp in his band Space Aliens From Outer Space. - Andrea EV is the lead member of 1997EV. - Robert Imhuman & Divtech are members of the Realicide Collective. - Tzii is a long-time road comrade of Nicolas and a touring freak spreading his music all over the world. - André Coelho is known as Metadevice and is the founder of the now-defunct Sektor 304. The title "A Church or a factory" refers to the Belgian countryside, wherever you are, you are at least surrounded by a church or a factory. As he just left the urban life of Brussels to escape to the French countryside, he is now lost enough not to have neither a factory nor a church in sight. <iframe style="border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=4004143979/size=large/bgcol=333333/linkcol=e32c14/tracklist=false/artwork=small/transparent=true/" seamless><a href="https://bruitsdefond.bandcamp.com/album/a-church-or-a-factory">A church or a factory by Ripit</a></iframe>
Mécanosphère (Portugal / France /...) Mécanosphère is a transnational morphing line-up art & life project formed by Benjamin Brejon (drums / instrument circuit / lyrics) and Adolfo Luxúria Canibal (vocals / lyrics) at the turn of the year 00's. Mécanosphère's language is: dubbed sonic, cinematic soundscapes with a polyglot text. Informed by Radio broadcasts, science-fiction literature, war reports, ruins of hiphop, ghosts of jazz, echoes of sound poetry, collage art, rock and roll, and parallel noise. The 2003 self-titled debut album is a straightforward rough, low fi rhythms-bass-voice manifesto. Mécanosphère acts like the seminal installation of the group’s obsessive, recurrent, set of sound and images which the other records explore more carefully by facets. For the 20th anniversary of their inception, which is the first part of a tryptich, Skin And Speech decided to release the first vinyl version of this undiscovered gem. 180 grams heavy and re-mastered by Alex Buess. The vinyl contains 7 tracks. Purchasers of the vinyl also get the whole album digitally as a free download.
Used copy in excellent condition. One sided LP on Alga Marghen
Used copy. Some hairlines and shallow scratches, a bit of surface noise. But plays totally fine. Number 81/90. Sleeve a little bit worn, see scans.
Ultra limited hand made sleeve version by Nomex's legendary drill turntable 7"! Made by Nomex himself, there were very few copies of this release with hand made covers. Some were collages from 80s/90s British porn magazines (incl. the censorship which was prevelant then), other were in rough packing paper. The cover of the one copy I'm selling here is from contact pages of a porn magazine. A second copy looks similar but promises "Reader's home recordings" and "Uncensored Sex Stories" etc. A third copy we have available is in the brown paper bag/wrapper variety. Note that the full amount of this sale (if you buy the record) goes into the production cost of Nomex's posthumous 'Paroxism EP' (more info will be linked here soon) The 7" is in NM condition, probably unplayed, and has no signs of use.
PRE-SALE of Praxis 60 - Nomex: Paroxism EP. important: special early bird price only till the end of June 2024!! Noise artist and film maker Paul Kidd aka Nomex was behind some iconic experimental releases of the 90s, mainly on his own Adverse label, exploring the nature of physical nature of noise and vinyl, his preferred medium. Several of his records explored and articulated this interaction, such as Adverse 1 (A Moment in Eternity/Language of Dissatisfaction) - a needle playing the label, Desiring E.P.2 (Adverse 3) - a drill used as turntable, and Are You Anything More Than Just A Product of Your Influence? (Adverse 12) - dual parallel groove cut on 16rpm and 78rpm. Other works veer into sound collage and beat destruction, such as The Bruitist Shaper, and Trocante Gramofony E.P. He also experimented with extreme noise frequencies at live gigs, some of which were documented on a series of CDRs on Adverse in 1997 (all of these have now been uploaded to our YouTube channel). Important to mention are also his collaborations with DJ Scud with the two classic 7"s Eurostar/Piling Machine and Total Destruction on the Maschinenbau label, both re-released by Praxis on one 12" in 2018. Ever since his 1999 release Trocante Gramofony EP (Praxis 33), there had been talk about doing a follow up and around 2010-2011 Nomex indeed worked on an album for Praxis, the material for which was finished, but not compiled at the time of his death in 2014. We compiled it as close as possible to what we think his intentions would have been and as to be expected it's a killer noise album! The record will be pressed in a limited and numbered edition with a hand stamped label and sleeve as well as a 30x30cm cover graphic/poster inlay and postcard in an edition of 100-150 copies. Finer details of this may yet change/vary as we're figuring out the production cost and details. The image depicts the 30x30cm print insert. Details might slightly vary. A download code for digital tracks will be included. We're looking at an August 1st 2024 release, more details will be posted as we move forward with this and other projects. Available for pre-order now at a reduced price of 15 euro for a limited number of orders and only until the end of May 2024. RRP will be €20 once it's out. If you order the record now, it will help us to cover manufacturing costs and to bring the release into existence at the time for the projected release date at the beginning of August. <iframe width="100%" height="350" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" allow="autoplay" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/1821016461&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true"></iframe><div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"><a href="https://soundcloud.com/praxisrecords" title="Praxis Records" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Praxis Records</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/praxisrecords/sets/nomex-paroxism-ep" title="Nomex: Paroxism EP (Praxis 60, Work in Progress)" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Nomex: Paroxism EP (Praxis 60, Work in Progress)</a></div> If you wish to help us move ahead with this and other releases, consider supporting our 2024 Vinyl Fundraiser campaign on Gofundme HERE IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are already a SUPER-SUBSCRIBER you will receive one copy of this release as part of your subscription.

Self titled debut album by Duma on Nyege Nyege Tapes from Uganda. I reckon this is the 2021 transparent vinyl pressing, but this copy is still sealed, so I can't verify for sure. Slight bump on bottom right corner. Label info: Martin Khanja (aka Lord Spike Heart) and Sam Karugu emerge from Nairobi's flourishing underground metal scene as former members of the bands Lust of a Dying Breed and Seeds of Datura. Together in 2019 they formed Duma (Darkness in Kikuyu) with Sam abandoning bass for production and guitars and Lord Spike Heart providing extreme vocals to the project. Recorded at Nyege Nyege Studios in Kampala over three months in mid 2019 their self-titled debut album fuses the frenetic euphoria, unrelenting physicality and rebellious attitude of hardcore punk and trash metal with bone-crunching breakcore and raw, nihilist industrial noise through a claustrophobic vortex of visceral screams. The savant mix of brutally adrenalized drums, caustic industrial trap, shredding grindcore inspired guitars and abrupt speed changes create a darkly atmospheric menace and is lethal on tracks like the opener "Angels and Abysses" , "Omni" or "Uganda with Sam". The gruelling slow techno dirges and monolithic vocals on "Pembe 666" or "Sin Nature" add a pinch of dramatic inevitability bringing a new sense of theatricality and terrifying fate awaiting into the record's progression. A sinister sonic aggression of feral intensity with disregard for styles, Duma promises to impact the burgeoning African metal scene moving it into totally new, boundary-challenging experimental territories.
