Zoviet France – Mohnomishe (A1/A2)

Both sides of 1983’s ‘Mohnomishe’ single, with the first side being a lot noisier than the second. Zoviet France traversed the kind of post-Industrial landscape frequented by the likes of Nurse With Wound, Hafler Trio, and Organum, escorting the listener into tangled, warped soundworlds.

Andrew Chalk & Daisuke Suzuki – Kasuri

This is the first of the 2 track that appear on the duo’s 2003 album ‘The Days After’, and sounds like the perfect soundtrack to discovering a network of fascinating, yet disconcerting caves on a grey, rainy day. Both tracks on this album are wonderful and fully immersive.

Soundscape – The Ark

London Techno from 1995 with a some Motor City flavour added to it. This appeared on a compilation that year titled ‘Underground London’, where we believe is the only place one could hear this trackThe compilation was made up of 2 discs; the first was each track on the comp standing on its own merits, the second was all of the tracks in a mix by Stockwell’s very own Dave Angel.

Nocturnal Emissions – Informatic Forces

Astounding Sound piece/Ambient/call it what you want from the bands 1991 album ‘Cathedral’. We’re really talking about the outer regions here folks, so strap in, and expand outwards.

Nocturnal Emissions – Stoney Iron Meteorites

The opening track from Nocturnal Emissions 1991 album ‘Cathedral’ has the listener subjected to repeated psychedelic shockwaves. Substances were certainly ingested in the construction of this music.

Nocturnal Emissions – Bestiae Clamor

Like morse code transmitted from another dimension, Nocturnal Emissions created otherworldly fugues for otherworldly folk. This is the opening track from their 1989 album ‘Invocation Of the Beast Gods’.

Nurse With Wound – Spiral Insana [full album]

The Steven Stapleton-led collective has had many, many high points over their, thus far,  4-decade spanning career. Among those high watermark albums is 1986’s ‘Spiral Insana’; a mind-boggling patchwork of sonic debris akin to wandering into a labyrinthine fun-house that deposits you into the most unexpected places. Some sections repeat, some do not, but one gets the sense of wandering further and further into the maze as the albm goes on. We wander into soundscapes of maniacal circles of drilling noise; sparse, rag time-esque piano overlaid with Duck cries or moaning voices; cult rituals deep in the woods; devolved Hillbilly families having a porch hoedown; ethereal, ambient/New Age drifting; abrupt Church organ bursts; and much, much more.Dive in, it’s great fun in here.

Black Dice – Miles Of Smiles

Field recordings meet the Dice’s noise boxes from this 2004 EP on Fat Cat records. This was back in the day when one didn’t quite know what to expect from Black Dice; apart from the fact that the music would be heavy duty lysergic sonics. Distorted marching bands and crickets abound on this 13 minute piece. See also the other track from the EP titled ‘Trip Dude Delay’, found elsewhere on The Sentinel.
