Norma Loy's UsherSan, who occasionally released music under different monikers, left important traces in my music collection. Of course, because you really must be completely devoid of a heart not to love Norma Loy and the brilliant DZ Lectric and Anthon Shield album Lickin, just to name two, not to...

Formed in Southport during the late-70s, the band came to prominence out of South London's squat scene via their own Recloose Organisation . Early releases including the band's first experiments put to tape and the now highly sought after Sudden Departure compilation featuring luminaries Colin Potter...

Unless you are a monomaniacal specialist of the 80's, there is very little chance that Cha Cha Guitry will ring any bell. And yet this band, buried away in Saint-Etienne at the very heart of France could have rivalled easily with Elli & Jacno or Telex.Emblematic of that French touch which tinged new-wave...

During the transitional period in which Coil s primary leadership (Peter Sleazy Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing...

What a total gem! An amazing unearthed, ultra obscure album from way back in 1986. Hailing from Rochester, NY, Eleven Pond crafted super infectious dark pop with wonderful synth moments and song writing that has really held up over the years. Some of the production, and much of the overall sound reminds...

Double CD set from cult Manchester electronic music pioneer Eric Random, best known for his early recordings for New Hormones and Les Disques du Crépuscule, and collaborations with Pete Shelley (Buzzcocks), Cabaret Voltaire and Nico. As an original member of The Tiller Boys with Shelley, Random injected...

Konstruktivists was formed by Glenn Michael Wallis in 1982 out of the ashes of Heute, a kraut rock influenced trio using electronics as well as conventional guitars and bass. Around this time - in the late 70's/early 80's Glenn Michael Wallis was heavily involved with Throbbing Gristle, the U.K. pioneers...

We celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Kiel underground legend NO MORE with the release of the compilation Love, Noise & Paranoia . NO MORE founded the band in 1979, when punk and new wave swept away the 70's, disbanded in 1986 when the 80's were too 80's. They come back at the end of 2008, concentrated...

The Nigel Ayers-led industrial pioneers have much in common with their better-known peers Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, and seemed to arrive at similar innovations in recorded sound and performance almost simultaneously and independently. Unlike both, Nocturnal Emissions have survived as an...

Oppenheimer MKII is the collaboration between 2 veterans in the world of electronic music; Andy Oppenheimer from Oppenheimer Analysis and Mark Crumby from Konstruktivist . With their debut " The Presence Of The Abnormal " they present us 12 little minimal synth masterpieces. Twelve catchy electronic...

Reissue of two exquisite 80s cassettes on "Insane" comprising live and studio outtakes by Pseudo Code. I remember those releases well at the time of release back in 1984 & 1986, surprised to discover how many quality tracks had yet remained unpublished after their demise in 1982. Very proud now to...
