"Originally released in 1977 on the great Music Gallery Editions, the debut, self-titled album from the Canadian Electronic Ensemble finally gets a reissue on CD, over 40 years after it was first put out. Created using the Ems Synthi A, the Arp Odyssey, the Roland Sh-5, as well as found-sounds, trumpets, and more, CEE is a testament to the history of analog experimentation in Canada."

"Die Krupps' second album, released in 1982, is one of those long-lost gems which, had the band not become industrial-metal gods, would probably be better known worldwide as a proto-EBM masterpiece. That the record includes both 'Wahre Arbeit, wahrer Lohn' and 'Goldfinger' is enough proof of its stake as a precursor to the sounds of bands like Nitzer Ebb, who's demo came out the year after, but with such a wide-ranging experimental, industrial, and heavy metal history, it's easy to forget just exactly how deep Die Krupps' roots go. Despite its iconic and influential status, Volle Kraft Voraus has never been reissued on vinyl since its first pressing by Warner in 1982. The first CD version hit in the '90s and a deluxe 2CD reissue came out 10 years ago, but the all-important vinyl reissue never saw the light of day, until, of course, now. Artoffact Records presents a wonderful reissue edition of Volle Kraft Voraus, on both black or collector's pink vinyl, with remastered audio and restored cover art."

"The period between 1985 and 1988 was the most productive in the long history of Controlled Bleeding. No fewer than 13 albums and three split works were released in this short timeframe, starting with Death in the Cameroon, and including releases on Sub Rosa, Dossier, and many others. Founder Paul Lemos, along with long-time members Joe Papa and Chris Moriarty produced material relentlessly over this three to four-year span, experimenting with noise, industrial, tribal sounds, goth, ethereal, and ambient music. In hind-sight, this furious output set the stage for Controlled Bleeding's more famous Wax Trax works, but the material itself found its way to every corner of the experimental world, and it influenced everyone. Artoffact Records is proud to announce a 10CD collection of Controlled Bleeding material, released between 1985 and 1988, much of which has been out of print for decades. The set starts with the tape-only Death in the Cameroon, and includes seven more Controlled Bleeding albums, including Headcrack, which has never been released on CD. Also included are two Controlled Bleeding off-shoots: the industrial one-off project The Art Barbeque, from 1985, and the Lemos / Papa collaboration Music For Stolen Icon from 1986. The set includes large-size reproductions of the front and back covers of each release, as well as a longform essay by Paul Lemos. All material has been remastered and restored. CD Contents: 1. Death in the Cameroon 2. The Art Barbeque - Feet Hacked Rails 3. Headcrack 4. Between Tides 5. Curd 6. Core 7. Paul Lemos & Joe Papa - Music for Stolen Icon 8. Music For the Scourging Ground 9. Music For Gilded Chambers 10. Songs From the Drain"

"After first meeting in 2007, legendary Italian composer Maurizio Bianchi (M.B.) and Matteo Uggeri (Barnacles) return on a new collaboration, an uncompromising trip through space dubbed Sidereal Decomposition Activity. The album features four long tracks described as 'cosmic music,' a neurotic trip between analogue noises and pulsing beats, that ends in an armageddon of obsessive sounds."

"Artoffact Records is proud to offer a this reissue of what is the absolute rarest cEvin Key-related album of all time. Between 1986 and 1989, cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy) and the late Alan Nelson (Hilt) spent countless hours recording out of Nelson's third story apartment in Toronto as The Flu. The music they produced in those sessions is quite remarkable, blending electronics, guitars, live drums, drum machines, live singing by cats, and recordings from tele-personals, all with Al's inimitable lyrics and vocals."

"Recorded in CBC's studio live-to-air in 1986 while on tour with Skinny Puppy, Severed Heads' Brave New Waves session is absolutely perfect. Includes never-before heard versions of songs from The Big Bigot and Dead Eyes Open, including the band's hit, Harold & Cindy Hospital, as well as amazing commentary by the always charismatic Tom Ellard. First formed in 1979, Severed Heads is an Australian electronic and experimental project led by Tom Ellard since 1981. In the mid- to late-80s, the project saw its biggest commercial successes with releases on Nettwerk, Billboard chart positions, and huge European and American tours. The band's 1986 tour with Skinny Puppy resulted in this now infamous Brave New Waves recording, which to date has never been released commercially."
