ROTOR 070BK
|
Double-CD version includes 30-page metallic hardcover book (15 x 20 x 2cm) containing color and black-and-white art by Babs Santini (Steven Stapleton). Rotorelief present a reissue of Homotopy To Marie. the fifth album by Nurse With Wound, originally released in 1982. Music and sleeve created by Steven Stapleton. The album is "a step on from the Dadaist rock of Merzbild Schwet, with much use of tape manipulation and classical avant-garde techniques". The album, which combines tape edits with resonating gong tones and disembodied children's voices to create a sonic collage, is far removed from the harsh improvisations of the group's early albums. The title of the brief closing track derives from a passage from "Les Chants de Maldoror" (1869), a surreal poetic novel written by Le Comte de Lautréamont. This appropriation of a phrase from Maldoror is shared in common with the title of Nurse With Wound's debut album, Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella (1979); both phrases appear in Lautréamont's work. The album was first issued on Stapleton's own United Dairies label on vinyl, cassette, and later in remastered compact disc including an extra track "Astral Dustbin Dirge". This masterpiece reissue is the official full, double album from the original recording sessions. The four tracks from the original LP are accompanied by additional recordings from the same period.

Extruder is the second unreleased album from the 1987 collaboration between Conrad Schnitzler and Siegmar Fricke (Pharmakustik) who composed and made several tapes of session-material during their musical meetings in Berlin. All recordings produced, arranged, and mastered by Siegmar Fricke at Pharmakustik-studio. The album contains high doses of hydraulically-driven energy generated by complex analog equipment. Micro-formed sound pools of cold extrusion collide with voltage-controlled pulsations, tape-echoed modulations, and eruptive sound-deformations. Electrostatic charge (caused by compressed configurations of mechanical rhythms in "Kontaktmechanik") has been combined with sonic lubrications of processed accelerators in "Umspulung". "Abrasion Métallique" contains all the acoustic trademarks by Conrad Schnitzler: excessive experiments with dissonant portamentos of the EMS-Synthi A and Korg MS20, overlaid by metallic pressure drag of the modified rhythm-machine. Acoustically and graphically, Extruder continues in the excellent Schwarz-Rot-Blau-series by Conrad like the pre-released "Kontraktion". The audiochemists Conrad Schnitzler and Pharmakustik developed a timeless and uncompromising masterpiece of audiomechanical engineering.

Rotorelief present an expanded reissue of Shiny Battles by The Bonaparte's, originally released in 1985. The Bonaparte's trio was born after the split of two bands, Kan Ji Zai founded by Pat Griffiths from 23 Skidoo, Ruben Azca, and Baroque Bordello. According to Giri, the boss of the Gibus, the punk public usually became agitated sitting very attentively at the Kan Ji Zai gig on October 4th, 1983. In 1984 after their first record the EP Today, the drummer Prad and the bass player Pix from Baroque Bordello founded together, along with Ruben Azca from Kan Ji Zai, the band The Bonaparte's, initially to be ephemeral for a gig that should have been unique at the Opéra Night programmed by La Sébale with three tracks: "Battle Of Iena", "Waterloo's Front", and "Shiny Light" played in one single sequence. The trio was extended with a guest saxophone player Lazslo. The audience didn't expect such a band and was very surprised, encouraging the band to go on. And that's what they did, two of the members of Baroque Bordello were asked to leave the band and Pat Griffiths joined them. The Bonaparte's were born. Shiny Battles was created a first mini-album in the Studio Garage in 1985. This mini-LP is a marvel as it associates the pure tradition of the French coldwave bands adoring the bass with high-level British artistic quality influenced by the best of the post-punk scene: The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees -- The audio reissue by Rotorelief proposes the mini-album Shiny Battles with six unreleased bonus tracks. Deluxe embossed cover with gold foil design. Black vinyl version comes on 180 gram vinyl (ROTOR 063LP); Edition of 1000.

Black vinyl version. Color sleeve. Numbered edition of 2000 copies. Rotorelief present a reissue of Silver Apples' second album Contact, originally released in 1969. Available in four versions: A black vinyl version with a color sleeve in a numbered edition of 2000 (ROTOR 056C-LP); a clear vinyl version with a color sleeve in a numbered edition of 1000 (ROTOR 056C-CLR); a black vinyl version with a silver gatefold sleeve in a numbered edition of 2000 (ROTOR 056S-LP); and a silver and black vinyl version with a silver gatefold sleeve in a numbered edition of 1000 (ROTOR 056S-SIL).
"Aside from Simeon's use of a banjo on a couple of tracks, the music on Contact does not differ from that of their debut. One aspect improved upon was the lyrics; many possess the same 'cosmic' element found on Silver Apples, but others are full of bitterness, pain, paranoia, and confusion. In turn, the lead oscillator is used to greater effect, reflecting this newfound intensity. Simeon, who composed the text for five of Contact's ten songs (he framed one song on Silver Apples, 'Dancing Gods'), was largely responsible for this change." --Bart Bealmear, AllMusic

"By 1967, the Overland Stage Electric Band was teetering on its last legs. The New York City five-piece had found some success playing covers of straight-ahead rock 'n' roll at gigs in the East Village, but tensions within the group were steadily tearing them apart. The lead singer, Simeon Coxe III, had gotten his hands on a vintage '40s audio oscillator and was insisting that it become a part of the show. The rest of the band was understandably upset - this was more than a decade before electronic music would become an accepted practice. Before long, the band was down to two members, Simeon, and drummer Danny Taylor. Now with full control, the two members re-christened themselves the Silver Apples and set about releasing one of history's great forgotten albums, their self-titled debut. Silver Apples is a record that reached far ahead of its time. It's not surprising then, in a year when the airwaves were still dominated by Motown and the Beatles (whose experimentation was tame by comparison), that it failed to garner much of an audience. Even now, nearly 40 years later, the record sounds fresh and unconventional - in 1968 there simply wasn't anything else like it." --Adam Bunch, Crawdaddy! (2007)

The lead singer, Simeon Coxe III, had gotten his hands on a vintage '40s audio oscillator and was insisting that it become a part of the show. The rest of the band was understandably upset - this was more than a decade before electronic music would become an accepted practice. Before long, the band was down to two members, Simeon, and drummer Danny Taylor. Now with full control, the two members re-christened themselves the Silver Apples and set about releasing one of history's great forgotten albums, their self-titled debut. Silver Apples is a record that reached far ahead of its time. It's not surprising then, in a year when the airwaves were still dominated by Motown and the Beatles (whose experimentation was tame by comparison), that it failed to garner much of an audience. Even now, nearly 40 years later, the record sounds fresh and unconventional - in 1968 there simply wasn't anything else like it." --Adam Bunch, Crawdaddy! (2007)

RSD 2017 release. There is something magical and inexplicable about creation, and Sand manifest absolutely these mysterious phenomena. Storytellers, musicians, shamans, geniuses, Sand were known, at the end of the '60s, as P.O.T. (Part Of Time). Then Sand - Ludwig Papenberg and his brother Ullrich, and Johannes Vester - developed a more avant-gardist, proto-industrial, visionary experimental approach, a truly unique entity in the history of music. Not dependent on a classical "krautrock" style, Sand is nevertheless part of this movement of German cosmic/psychedelic bands, as well as being the originators of proto-industrial music. Golem, originally released in 1974, is a legendary album from the cosmic and psychedelic genius that is Sand. Factory-noise, riveting hammers from the dockyards, agricultural machines, starfighters low-level flights, land maneuver by the British Forces in the mountainous countryside along the winding river were the culture medium for extended sound aesthetics. Sand was born and created the Golem. Comes in a metallic sleeve cover; Comes on 200 gram silver and black vinyl; Edition of 700.

A reissue of Brume's Autoportrait, originally released in 1991 on cassette. C. Renou on the album: "Emergency and compression ... it is the climate in which this 50-minute material was recorded. Comettre, a Self-Portrait is not nothing! ... This is a sensitive exercise, deep, must find the note, must sustain his own honesty ... well so, do not crash! This project, in 1990, took ten hours! (execution, post production, and mastering ...). I privileged a direct and rapid expression so essential to squirt! But I confess some 'literary verbages' essential in my view have been borrowed. It's almost live, as the set was 'sloppy', and made in just a day and a night! There's practically raw material, thick, rusty metal (beware Tinnitus ears ...!), performed without concession and without cerebral onanism ... but only by pure nihilism!" Black vinyl version comes in an edition of 400 (numbered).
