Uma 038 M.B. - Regel LP
One of Maurizio Bianchi's most representative works, ''Regel'' (originally released in 1982 by Mectpyo Sounds) is reissued for the first time in vinyl and remastered under the supervision of the Milanese artist. The record consists of two untitled tracks. Mostly track one is made up of manipulated noises with some synthesizer or theremin phrases added for detail and contrast. The second track is a bit more focused, with less noise, more recognizable melodic content and less invasive loops. The music is unlinear and effortlessly multilayered and the sound focuses on texture rather than structure. Here you can see M.B.'s early phase as a sick, cancerous organism eating itself out.
The record has been pressed on 140 gr red vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve (with inside polyethylene plastic) and comes in a deluxe black silkscreen on red cardboard sleeve with the same layout of original sleeve, limited to 199 copies w/insert in luxury 160 gr ivory paper . First 50 copies comes with extra insert in acetate with artwork by Maurizio Bianchi.
Uma 040 Atrax Morgue - I vizi morbosi di una giovane infermiera LP
Atrax Morgue is anxious and psychotic side of the electronic noise. With the help of a analog synth, Marco blows up emotions and delusions, cutting out the hard way inspired portraits of phobias and deviations. Originally released on cassette under the title of ''Nursery Crime'' in a special box limited to 50 copies and later reissued on cd-r in very few copies with the title ''I vizi morbosi di una giovane infermiera'', is one of the most introspective and deep Atrax Morgue' s works. ''A vision, a blaze of sweetness and understanding. Then you return into the mechanism and those extreme emotions are already vanished. I still surprise myself thinking about death. I need an impossible surgery operation. If illness is life, the cure is death. Injections of static death.'' from liner notes.
Recorded winter 1999 at SweetSlaughter. Remastered spring 2012 at TwinOpera and reissue with the permission of the Corbelli's family.
The record has been pressed on 140 gr red vinyl with red cross label and transparent sleeve, limited to 99 copies w/insert in luxury 160 gr ivory paper .
