Title:	Symphony for a Genocide
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 002CD

2008 repress of the first 10 classic M.B albums (M.B = Maurizio Bianchi, for those of you who haven't been saved yet). These were first reissued in 1998 by Ees't (a division of Alga Marghen) & are now back again. Symphony... was the first M.B. album, issued in 1981, at the gates of the industrial noise revolution (it was also recently reissued on CD in the U.S. on Hospital Productions). "'ArcheoMB' is the title given to the complete reprint of old M.B. records and here is part 1. EEs'T Records and M.B. collaborated in this project, well understanding the value of these early works and their importance in the evolution of M.B. The sound has been improved for this digital edition from original master tapes and under the supervision of M.B. himself. All CDs feature the original artwork plus the complete historical documentation (liner notes, reviews, statements). Symphony... was first issued on the Sterile label in the UK in an edition of 200 copies. M.B.: electronics, effects, rhythms. Symphony... is the most extreme music you're ever likely to hear. There are 7 tracks, all consisting of a never-changing hissing or clanking rhythm, electronic effects over the top and a wall of distortion somewhere in the middle. This is the sound of industrial music, not T.G. Maximum electronics! 3 bonus tracks first issued on Bain Total's International Compilation 2 in 1980."

Title:	Menses
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 003CD

2008 repress. "Reissue of the private LP edition of 300 copies from 1981; the pyramidal construction of these two 'suites,' with its intentionally brutal and grotesque deformations, elaborates on overflowing and apocalyptical collapse, dragging a completely dissolvent conception of the world and of the para-industrial sound. Bonus tracks: 'Milan Bruits' from the Fix Planet! comp (Ata Tak) and the two tracks first issued in the very limited Nowhere To Play in 1981. Let M.B. be your executioner!"

Title:	Neuro Habitat/Moerder Unter Uns
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 004CD

2008 repress. "Reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the 'soundtrack' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It's the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts. The CD also features 'Plutoniumetrico' from the Fur Ilse Koch LP compilation."

Title:	Regel
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 005CD

2008 repress. "Reissue of the private LP, issued in an edition of 300 copies in 1982; his experimentation with noise syndrome has developed into a powerful stylistic electronic music that on Regel is coherent and dynamic. A dense synthetic melange sets the backdrop over which he uses various rhythms/effects to achieve maximum intensity. 'Acido Prussica,' first issued on the Neuengamme LP compilation, is also included on this CD edition. Maurizio is ready to unload this death cargo."

Title:	Mectpyo Bakterium
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 006CD

2008 repress. "First issued by Mnemonists label (DYS in the US). M.B.: proto-electronics, compositions, arrangements. Mektpyo Bakterium is a work furnished of implacable plastic exasperation. The icy oppression, the hallucinative electronic wounds, are a precious and singular fact in a technological society brought to the limit. The emotion is pushed into dangerous zones, and unusual zones, and unusual tensions -- free biological groans of extreme effectiveness. A vivid expression of a world in extinction! Bonus tracks: 'Placenta,' first issued on the 40 Days 40 Nights picture-disc LP in 1982, and the M.B. contribution to the International Friendship compilation LP from 1983.

Title:	Endometrio
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 009CD

2008 repress. "Originally issued as a private LP edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for synthetic sounds and electronically generated noises. Here MB distanced himself from the movement of the industrial bruitists, introducing his 'bionic music.' Notwithstanding the difficulty of listening, especially upon initial impact, you are facing treated and filtered synthetic sounds that become new organisms -- sound cells analyzed under the microscope. This CD also includes excerpts from private tape editions originally issued on compilation cassettes. Personal and obsessive."

Title:	Carcinosi
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 010CD

2008 repress. "Originally issued as a private LP in an edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for bionic organisms and concrete sounds. A sound that refuses both the cold logic of the fetish electronic computer-man-of-the-year and the sterile exasperation of the negative. A sound that dilutes and coagulates, eluding the listeners with minimal variations that make the cyclic style of Phillip Glass resemble a carousel of colors. This CD also features two untitled tracks first issued on compilation cassettes. Compositive discipline."

Title:	The Plain Truth
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 011CD

2008 repress. "First issued on the Broken Flag label in the UK in an edition of 500 in 1983. A different style, providing some distance from all his previous works; a more expansive experimentation with multiple layers of synthesizer sounds. Still very intense. MB's recordings come closest to classical electronics, but always with a very personal style. This CD edition also features an interview on Radio Popolare in Milan from 1/1/83. An English translation is included in the liner notes. Dedicated to all the redeemed people."

Title:	Armaghedon
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	MB 012CD

2008 repress. "Private LP edition of 300 copies in 1984. This record is the soundtrack for a film with the same title, produced and directed by Maurizio Bianchi. For obscure reasons, the original LP remained unavailable for a long time, and was distributed only 1 year after it was printed. Moreover, most of the copies were destroyed. Less than 100 actually exist. This was MB's last vinyl production, and also the only one featuring recordings of the artist's voice. It was made during a period of huge change in MB's life."

Title:	Dates
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MB 013CD

"Ees'T records is happy to announce a further step into the Maurizio Bianchi new production, a new compact disc which completes the Trilogy starting with the previous Colori and First Day-Last Day. This time the author concentrates on Time, or the inevitable. A sound counterpointistic journey beginning with the creation of the first human being, in autumn 4026 B.C.E. and passing through the two big planetary cataclysms. Then the individual experience of MB himself is investigated, a sort of electro-biography. The climax of this work is represented by the dramatic collapse describing the imminent destruction of today's society. MB explains that this is not an utopical perspective but those feelings rise from the 'Revelator' of all the secrets, the One who knows the future in advance and all the connected events. The Creator of the majestic universe and the One to whom all of us will give account when the final war of Har-Maghedon will break up on 60.. A.M. Will there be any survivor then? Hopefully there will be among the listeners of this work who will delight their ears and fill their hearts with the compelling and intense emotional sounds of Dates."

Title:	Frammenti
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MB 014CD

"Frammenti, i.e. fragments, is the new direction in Maurizio Bianchi's music. An acoustic-bionic composition for electromagnetic waves and cyclic sonorities. Left now are all the indeterminate atmospheres gently fluctuating, in order to reach a more formal and structured work. Still dealing with the fragments of our memories made of joy and tribulations, sensations and awareness, aspirations and disappointments, with the carnal and the spiritual assistance. This new composition, quite as literally as the title suggests, consists of two long sound-collages reminding some of the techniques that MB was using in the late seventies under the name of Sacher-pelz. The music is not that brutal DIY intensity of analogic treatments, but more a digital version of nowadays oscillating clinic sonorities. As the author stated: 'Those who will have the courage to listen to and investigate it, will remain mentally upright when confronted with the opposition of today's music -- which is so mechanical, hybrid, aseptic, narcotic, obsessive -- while in their heart nothing will be left but the principal fragment, which originated the sonorous universe: the sacredness of infinity!'. Available now in an edition limited to 500 copies."

Title:	Antarctic Mosaic
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CDR
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MB 015CDR

"Following the path opened by Frammenti, this new work represents the radicalization of the fragmentary approach in Maurizio Bianchi's music. A musical composition resulting from the combination of various elements: Hetzian-waves, classical and electronic music. MB eagerly explores the immaculate spaces of the so-called 'frozen continent', the only one not contaminated by the human presence. The hostile surroundings and the prohibitive temperatures made the frozen paradise so stimulating and pure. Antarctica was an immense park frozen after the post-Flood events when unexpectedly and suddenly the temperatures felt of many centigrade degrees. This process is well emphasized in the 'Antartic' track. On the other hand, in 'Mosaic' the listener mind is projected into the future when, after the decontamination process of human presence on Earth, the frozen continent will become again a paradise. Again a strictly formal and structured work, two long and exhausting sound-collages made of little fragments, even more radical than his approach when MB was active under the name of Sacher-pelz. Also included is an excerpt from 'The Technological Nonsense', a text presenting the forthcoming book on Maurizio Bianchi activities soon to be issued by EEs'T. As MB stated: 'Antarctic: sonorous infiltration in a deteriorated glacier' and 'Mosaic: liquid resonances for asymmetric decodings'. Are the glacial 1980s so far away? Available now in a CDR edition limited to 300 copies."

Title:	Cycles
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	CDR
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	MB 016CD

"The terminal concept of Cycles is matured after the sharp Fragments and the Glacial Mosaics of MB's recent artistic reproduction, at the end of a triennial project, aiming to exacerbate the routine of prefab sound, the common and forgone sound created to be exclusively consumed by an amorphous and servile mass, sunken in a sullen entertainment. The approach here is totally new and the fragment is isolated and constantly repeated in order to build an aural minimal architecture. As MB states: 'Our whole existence is subordinated to intense and mathematical cycles, from the biological to the technological one, from the solar to the lunar one, from the historical to the legendary one. The cyclicity of the sonorous meanders of Cycles is, probably, the unique example of cyclic music. Particular and interatomic sonorous repercussions infinitely and distinctly repeating themselves, captured in a spectroscopy of atavic and coriaceous notes'. And in the classic mood of the early 80s style, MB continues: 'The establishment will disagree. Such an experiment will be considered tedious and banal. What matters to me is not the ephemeral judgement of this sick and condemned reality. Finally the nine cycles included in this minimal work could be considered my appropriate epitaph. I have already entirely expressed my own artistic freedom and I wonder whether this might be nothing but the end of another cycle, in anxious expectation of the... eternal cycle'. Due to the extreme nature of the material included, the reproduction of this edition has been limited to 200 copies only."

Title:	Mind Us Trial/Ihc Naib Oizir Uam
Label:	EES'T (ITALY)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$32.00
Catalog #:	MB 017CD

As w/ other recent Ees't releases, these are CDR's! "EEs'T presents two new works by Maurizio Bianchi: Mind Us Trial. Phonological de-composition in eight dissections for tapes, noises and neurologic piano. This paleogenetic work wants to be an epitaph, and at the same time a commemoration, of those corrosive instants when M.B. was an equalized disciple of the industrial delirium. The technological obsession is omnipresent in every fibre of these tenebrous and stainless sounds. Smooth lumps sliding along the limits of the rudimental anguish. Not a barren repetition of the past but a wrinkled celebration of the present. The electrolytic mind is not developing the signal of a more radical experimentation and the vibration course has reached its partial reinstatement! With respectful thanks to the electroacoustic influence of the decadent and palpitating past. 'Ihc Naib Oizir Uam.' Cyclic improvisation for chaotic piano, apocalyptic guitar and final frequencies. If we go back, the memories strike us; if we project ourselves into the future, we're overwhelmed with fears; and if we remain at the present, we must face the anxieties. This comatose opera is in remembrance of M.B. atavistic past, M.B. fugitive present and M.B. atemporal future."
