Darby Crash, The Germs, LA Punk, Los Angeles, Punk, Adam Parfrey; Paperback Book - Ex Used condition
Lexicon Devil provides a powerful, unflinching look at the life and times of Darby Crash of The Germs, using first person accounts to tell the story. And a tragic, but exciting story it is. The reader gets a first-hand look at Punk’s west coast birth, its ascendancy, and decline. All this is embodied in the story of Darby Crash, a man (or kid, really, dying young at 22, not even close to the 27 Club) of great vision, recklessness, and inner torment. Darby Crash is neither sainted nor vilified, a tough balance to strike. At the end, one is struck with a sense of the lost potentials, the regrets of friends and acquaintances that wish they had done more to save him.
"Lexicon Devil is, pure and simple, the finest volume on punk to have seen the light of print. (Yes, folks: that includes Please Kill Me.) Great book!"—Richard Meltzer

The Metronomes were an obscure legendary minimal synth band from Australia. The group was an integral part of the early electronic music scene in Australia and their releases have become collector's items in Europe, as they are mostly impossible to find. The Metronomes first appeared in Melbourne in 1979 and initial members were rock journo/synth player Al Webb, bass player Andrew Picouleau (Secret Police, Sacred Cowboys) and synth-pioneer Ash Wednesday, nowadays a live tour member of Einstürzende Neubauten. Al himself will admit later that Ash's ingenuity in creating something out of very little was the key to the Metronomes sounding as "produced" as they did. The first full-length Multiple Choice was recorded in the winter of 1980, using Roland Strings, a mini-Korg, some Arp synthesizers and a Boss Dr-55 -- a drum machine that was intensively used by many minimal synth bands during the '80s. This debut full-length Multiple Choice was recorded in the winter of 1980, using Roland Strings, a mini-Korg, some Arp synthesizers and a Boss Dr-55 -- a drum machine that was intensively used by many minimal synth bands during the '80s

Japanese review translated to English: I once saw “Ultraman 80" itself when I was a kid, songs are used, and when listening to the theme music collection of Ultraman 80, I recall Ultraman 80 at that time And while feeling nostalgia, I am immersed in it.

Experimental, Power Electronics, Noise, Extreme, Harsh, Disturbing; Vinyl LP - Ex Used condition
The album that followed on from 2003's Bird Seed album, Asceticists 2006 was the culmination of three years of obsessive sound tinkering by William Bennett. The album revealed a bold - or more accurately, terrifying - sound to it, full of noise and ear-shredding bombast, with incredible vocals, rasped in the most anarchic and hair-raising intonation on brilliantly titled tracks like 'Ruthless Babysitting' and 'Dumpng The Fucking Rubbish'. Amazing stuff, but it'll leave you a bit bruised.
Electronic, Experimental, Power Electronics, Noise, Ambient, Industrial; Gatefold 2xVinyl LP + CD - Ex Used condition
Russell Haswell joins Philip Best's Consumer Electronics for the face-melting force of 'Estuary Electronics'. Following on from the Mattin-produced 'Crowd Pleaser' (2009), it finds the pioneering duo at their most virile and vital across seven tracks rife with sputtering tech-n0!se and, of course, Best's spray it, don't say it delivery. It's a cruel, vicious fucker and therein lies its charm in showing up most of their field as dilettantes. Between the flatulent jag of 'Teknon' to the staggering, 'floor bleaching force of 'Co-opted' or the 'Air Lock' monologue that seals the final side, it delivers visceral thrills in a way most others can't compete with. And it's all the more powerful for its reduced and optimised palette - vocals, spatter drums and eviscerated electronics stoically delivered with real venom where it matters. For adventurous DJs, proper wrong 'uns, and the noise brigade, it's stone cold essential.
Limited edition 300 copies, Harsh, Banned, Disturbing, Noise, Electronic, Experimental, Power Electronics; Vinyl LP - Ex Used condition
Notorious split LP from Nicole 12 and Prurient complete with very disturbing wraparound printed card sleeve and lyric sheet. The Nicole 12 side is particularly harrowing, with monstrously mutated found tapes ala Peter ‘Sleazy’ Christopherson put to spools of high end electronics and ferociously delivered lyrics exploring variously fucked mind states. The bleak ardour of the music barely relents, jamming a whole bunch of contradictory and ambiguous signals in a way that gives you little room to orientate yourself or make any definitive reading, forcing you back on your own preconceptions, prejudices and dark places. Terribly uneasy listening that demands a response way the hell beyond any comfortable binary notion of good/evil or right/wrong. So don’t put your brain to bed. Prurient side is a beauty, featuring a bunch of tracks segued together in a fog of low-grade feedback and immolating vocal form. Banned from sale on Discogs due to disturbing content.

Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies on the cardboard insert. Experimental, Electronic, Noise, Power Electronics; Vinyl LP - Ex Used condition
This is pre-Burmuda Drain Prurient and hence it's pretty fucking gristly throughout, ranging from excoriating noise blasts ('People Dressed In Disguises') to dank ceramic drones ('People Wear Masks'), and wretched violence ('Severed Penises Beaten Against Her Statue'). "Dedicated to Attis who felt compelled to castrate himself."
Experimental, Dark Wave, Dark Ambient, Noise, Electronic; Vinyl LP - Ex Used condition
When Cold Cave embarked on their first UK tour in 2009 one of the most sought after pieces of merchandise was an exclusive split release with Prurient limited to just 100 copies on Cassette. Hospital Productions have mercifully pressed up the tracks from the tape - plus one additional cut exclusive to this LP to satisfy the vinyl vulture's appetite. In stark comparison to the glam-electro melancholy of 'Love Comes Close', this is a collection of incredible bleak and isolated dark ambience, almost entirely beat-less (except for one short passage laced with doomy kicks) where vocals are noticeably absent too, save a shadowy undertone of malnourished groans and gloomy exhortations. The mood is oppressively dystopian and depressed, which should be taken as a warning to anyone on the brink of it!
