Melbourne, Electronic, Experimental, Minimal, Synth, Cleopatra Records, Rare, Sacred Cowboys, Cybotron, Einsturzende Neubauten - Ex original used condition.... Rare and awesome! 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.

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 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."
