Masonna, Japanoise, Noise, Vinyl LP + CD + 2xCassettes in Etched wooden box, Limited Edition (Sold Out) 2019Wooden black box comes with LP, CD digipack and two cassettes plus postcard, insert, business card and sheet with notes in Japanese by Tamotsu Mochida, in 199 copies. Controlled Death is a new project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki a.k.a. Masonna. In April 2018 he decided to make a shudder debut with 1st album "Symphony For The Black Murder" . In this LP, Maso Yamazaki tried to commit to the dark side of psychedelia deepest in his own projects history and surprised the fans, but as soon as it gets excited, it is the 2nd work the wooden black box "Journey Through A Dead Body" & "Deathwish Tapes 1-3".Cracked minimal electronic sound by Korg MS-20, unclear and disturbing voice, corroded drone effect, with the influence of primitive black metal and dark ritual in "Journey Through A Dead Body" LP which developed a moisturized doom world while wearing a raw material texture. Anxiety, alienation and hypochondria turn into a deep paranoia in pain. Without hesitation, the bodies are emptied, leaving the field to an electronics purulence of rare power disconcerting: a perfect journey through a dead body.And the sound contained in the CD and two cassettes called "Deathwish Tapes 1-3" are direct feeling which developed the idea at the time to making "Journey Through A Dead Body". In order to record it, it is said to be connected to a microphone at the input of the Korg MS - 20 and recorded on a cassette tape with a single recording. It is nothing to call it mindfuck, its freshness is only fear.The activities of Controlled Death are like archaic revival to the music experience before Masonna. We can also find the pathology image of the early industrial period and the shadows of Vienna activism such as Hermann Nitsch. The existence and art that pierces through conspicuous consciousness and dives to areas of unconsciousness due to death and pleasure. While taking death as the strongest drug, the season of second summer of death industrial is coming. About 2 hours and 30 minutes of astonishing storm of echoes that bangs it into your head! The wooden black box comes with LP, CD digipack and two cassettes plus postcard, insert, business card and sheet with notes in Japanese by Tamotsu Mochida

Medical, Educational, Death, Biology, Weird, Textbook; Paperback 180 Pages (1994)
Advances in imaging technology have led to the frequent use of computed tomography and the resultant need to interpret its results with accuracy. Essential to this is a conceptual understanding of cross-sectional anatomy and an appreciation of the spatial relationships of tissues and organs within the body. Learning cross-sectional anatomy now begins in medical school and it will doubtless eventually become as familiar as its more traditional counterparts. It is in this context that this book has been produced. Matching full-colour body sections with corresponding CT scans and explanatory diagrams, it provides a portable and succinct guide to the whole body in section form and a resource for the radiologist, radiographer, neurologist, surgeon and internal-medicine specialist.

Gross, Arthouse, European, Avant Garde, Black Comedy; DVD
When Neville Gorman said 'The birth of Hungarian cinema was the death of art', this is the sort of thing he had in mind.
If you're disturbed by the thought of a man having sex with a pig's carcass, 'Taxidermia' is probably not the movie for you. And believe me, pig sex will be the least of your worries. Taxidermia is an ugly, depraved, grossly confrontational film set out to (hopefully) upset and induce nausea.....utterly brilliant!
Japan, Noise, Experimental, Music., Harsh, Electronic, Underground; Paperback - David Novak 304 pages (New)
Noise, an underground music made through an amalgam of feedback, distortion, and electronic effects, first emerged as a genre in the 1980s, circulating on cassette tapes traded between fans in Japan, Europe, and North America. With its cultivated obscurity, ear-shattering sound, and over-the-top performances, Noise has captured the imagination of a small but passionate transnational audience.

Erotic, French, Banned, Arthouse, Black Comedy; 2 x DVD special Directors Cut
A black comedy of sexual manners set around an arranged wedding to occur on the grounds of an elegant chateau, Walerian Borowczyk's controversial masterpiece should be approached with caution but enjoyed with abandon!! Infamous for the final scene where the titular beast ravishes an American heiress, Lucy Broadhurst (Lisbeth Hummel), on the eve of her wedding to a French aristocrat, the graphic scenes of the beast coupling with its human prey sees the daring Borowczyk (Immoral tales) expound on the animalistic nature of human sexuality. Proving too heavy-handed for the censors, the film, which ravishingly revives the beauty and the beast myth, has been banned for thirty years, now finally comes to DVD in a special director's cut. One of the most bizarre and surreal experiences on film, this depraved tale of animal desire is at once riotous and perverse, and remains a masterwork of arthouse erotic cinema.
