Fibrr Records – 001
Nantes trio Formanex celebrates 20 years of activism in experimental
music with a 10 CD edition full of amazing collaborations with ONsemble
(contemporary music group from Nantes and Saint-Nazaire) and composers
they have worked with. The box set includes early works by Formanex’s
own Julien Ottavi, unique compositions created by Keith Rowe, pieces by
Kasper T. Toeplitz, Ralf Wehowsky, Seth Cluett, Michael Pisaro, Radu
Malfatti, as well as other giants of contemporary music from the last 50
years; such as Phill Niblock and Christian Wolff.
A rare collection of CDs, this box set represents a broad vision of experimental music from noise to electronic abstract composition, radical minimalism, contemporary and improvised music.

S.P.K. - (2008) Dokument III0 1979 - 1983 6xLP
Vinyl-on-demand – 050
SPK was an Australian industrial band formed in 1978 in Sydney by Graeme
Revell and Neil Hill, being one of the earliest, most extreme and most
influential industrial, noise, post-punk art projects. By 1983 the band
was joined by other artists such as Sinan Revell, Brian 'Lustmord'
Williams, John Murphy, Karel Van Bergen, Mike Wilkins, James Pinker.
Without any doubt S.P.K.'s early stage from 78 to first half of 1983 and
its releases such as Information Overload and Leichenschrei can be
considered as ground-breaking and protagonistic for a whole
industrial-music-movement to come.
SPK can be considered as influencial as other Industrial-Super-Groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Clock DVA or Cabaret Voltaire and there is no way to come-around this band when talking about the Industrial-Music-Movement.
Drawn from mixing desk masters, found recordings and studio takes, this Box Set covers the band’s nascent, exploratory phase of grimacing noise and cold, hard rhythms shot thru with chilling samples and the kind of blackened electronics which placed them in the same category as TG, Cabaret Voltaire or Clock DVA, all before band-member Graeme Revill began driving the group toward synth-pop and dance music post-1984.
The 1st disc features the brute, primal jabs and cranky sample textures of Information Overload Unit (1980) and disc 2 compiles their trio of nigh on impossible-to-find punk 7”s Factory / No More / Mekano (1979 - 1981) for a fascinating and very rare run-out.
Disc 3 stars their seminal, nightmarish Leichenschrei (1982) album which really pricked the wider Industrial consciousness upon original release, and appears here alongside a full disc 4 of roiling, spitting, buzzing Backing Tracks for Leichenschrei (1982) exclusive to this compilation.
Also of interest to completists, historians and SPK über fans, disc 5’s Other Studio and Compilation Tracks (1981-1983) reveals some of their choicest, harder-to-find highlights such as the slow, sexy Metal Field alongside straight essentials Another Dark Age and Twilight of The Idols or their US studio recording of The Sickness.
Disc 6 contrasts mixing desk recordings made in London’s Heaven and Electric Ballroom (1982-1983), whilst disc 7 serves a previously unheard haul of backing tracks for those shows including some amazing component parts for Another Dark Age among a brace of skeletal proto-techno and tribal steppers.
