Brand new release from the Jazzfinger duo of Hasan Gaylani and Ben Jones. Part of Alt Vinyl's limited lathe cut series. Manufactured in New Zealand by Peter King and issued in a limited hand-numbered edition of only 150 copies. Two completely deformed dooms of drone, recorded with cardboard microphones somewhere on the other side of a windtunnel. Great New Zealand destroyed rock feel cut with a heavy UK industrial vibe.

Original copies of a beautifully destroyed 1994 side from this revered underground UK free/noise group with connections to Skullflower and the whole Broken Flag scene. Released on Hasan Gaylani of Jazzfinger’s long-defunct Format Supremacy imprint. Recommended.

Hand-numbered edition of 100 copies cassette from the duo of Hasan Gaylani and Ben Jones with two live sets - Manchester and Leeds '05 - packaged inside a full-colour slipcase.

New studio album from the Ramleh duo of Gary Mundy and Anthony Di Franco, this time out in their power electronics mode. More hi-fi and deliberately nuanced than their early Xeroxed style, Mundy’s delivery is at its most hysterical while the noise is almost technicolour in comparison. Also some great sludge bass noise/rock stylings courtesy of Di Franco. Full colour gatefold sleeve with insert.

Edition of 200 copies with ink-stamped sleeves that reissues the rarest release on the Broken Flag label. Violence was released as a cassette in 1982. It’s a solo recording by Gary Mundy that predates the beginnings of Ramleh, Mundy’s solo Kleistwahr recordings etc. Using the same equipment as on the early Ramleh recordings, Violence is a claustrophobic slice of grainy electronic excess with a murk of psychedelic electronics and tortured vocals in the style of the early BR power electronics sides. Mastered direct from cassette for maximum skin burn.

Fantastic new Japan-only CD from UK ‘power electronics’ innovators Ramleh, released to coincide with a series of live dates there. Beautifully packaged in a hard card gatefold sleeve with classic austere Broken Flag-style artwork and obi strip. There was always something particularly psychedelic about Ramleh’s vision of noise, which fed into their parallel incarnation as a rock band, and here the noise it as its most brain-arranging and oddly ‘beautiful’. Pulsing and drilling electronics complete with mangled shortwave sonorities are bathed in distant ghostly/choral vocals, giving the first track “Guidelines” the feel of an unholy ascension cut w/aspects of radical 20^th century composition. The second piece, “Memories Of Empire”, is a little more blunt, with harsh walls of feedback and the kind of dense microtonal minimalism of Phill Niblock set to stunning effect. Hands-down some of the best of the revived Ramleh material from the duo of Gary Mundy and Anthony Di Franco. Highly recommended.
