Catalog #:
PEN 015CD
Debut release from Jones, a new artist on Rephlex and a member of the Cornwall Posse (ie. a friend of Richard James, Luke Vibert and Tom Middleton). Rephlex continues to throw everyone's expectations into the sewer, with this strange, somewhat "funny" release of prog/big-beat thumpery, electronic whatsis and the closest approximation of Rephlex Rock that there has ever been. "An eclectic 8 track single that Jones recorded in his caravan. As Jones himself says on the artwork, 'It all started when I went out to dinner with Bernie Winters, age 7. By 9, I was friends with Rod Stewart. My brother is Tom Jones. First band at 13 with Luke Vibert. Later, joined 'Arnold' (kicked out, thankfully) and decided to get solo'd up. My dad is Howard Jones. First place with Tom Middleton in Roger Taylor's Cornish Breakdance challenge. Maybe you've heard me on Kiss, or even seen me in
Echoes
,
Melody Maker
, or
Penthouse
. I enjoy talking to MTV and streaking at festivals. I am an orange teddy bear. Every word of this is true, I swear on my sixth string."

A bit overstocked on this one, so on sale at a reduced price. A new, utterly odd and disconcertingly charming group from Japan, discovered by Aphex. Naive computer rock/pop, barely connected to planet earth, performed by this trio on keyboards, vocals, bass, computer, guitar. According to their official bio, "'Alex de K' who was solo-active passing through the Japanese Punk band 'clarise' etc, met 'Special & Max' the computer-programming artist in Tokyo. They were kindred sprits, formed the unit (Sam & Valley) in 1995. The minute melody by 'Special & Max', roughhewn sound by 'Alex de K', putting them together, (Sam & Valley) can create unknown rock style. It is named 'unsuitable rock' by them. In 1996, 'Tango Rooster' who was enthusiastic-fan of (Sam & Valley) since 3rd as a changeable guitarist. All of them are Japanese."

Repressed. Caustic Window is Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin/AFX/Diceman/Gak/Polygon Window/Q-Chastic/Soit-PP/Blue Calx/Rich of Mike And Rich/etc... This release collects ALL of the audio from his classic Joyrex J4/J5/J9i/J9ii releases (originally issued in the early-mid '90s on a head-scratching array of picture disc singles and limited vinyl) onto a neat (albeit far less graphically appealing) CD/3LP compendium, a welcome surprise after seeing the demand for original vinyl increase near-exponentially, as of late. A varied mix of Dicky's trademark AFX melancholy and hardcore acid maelstrom. "The
Caustic Window
EPs were the first to appear on Rephlex and instantly set the standards for everyone else to follow. The first two EPs were limited to 2000 copies each and remain among the most in-demand records on many a trainspotter's list." Hotly tipped. In demand. Rephlex's new motto is "File under Braindance."

"Re-release of the groundbreaking debut album by µ-Ziq aka Mike Paradinas with complete tracks from previous vinyl and CD releases plus already deleted 12"s and unreleased rarities. With all tracks being digitally remastered, this double CD comes for the price of one." µ-Ziq is the most recorded name for Mike Paradinas.
Tango N' Vectif
is the legendary first µ-Ziq album from 1993, mixing excessive distortion (on
everything
) and accessible melodic lines piled on top. "On this occasion, the capable pushers of switches are µ-Ziq, an imaginative young duo, one of whom plays Double Bass. The other is a noted arranger and conductor, although in this project he prefers to direct an ensemble composed of a sine-wave generator, square wave generator, saw-tooth generator, pulse generator, noise generator, multi-vibrator, band-pass filter and a ring modulator, with the occasional percussive obligato produced with the aid of some small metal bars and a piano...they gather the electronic sounds, chop them about, tone them down, tone them up, alter their pitch, alter their speed and pile them in layers...The cheerful melodies they have composed are served up with an accompaniment that is a fascinating stream of tapping sounds, hisses, bubbles, bumps, rattles, squeaks, whistles, moans, sighs, twitters, clanks, muffled explosions and unmuffled explosions. This may appear to be a cosy little chaos, but these works are in fact as highly organised as anything conceived by Schönberg."

Repressed for the first time in many years, the 2nd Rephlex album from Mike Paradinas, originally issued in 1994, a sprawling double CD set (priced as a single CD). One of the early, defining classics of the Rephlex catalog. "If any one word came close to describing µ-Ziq, it would be MAD. Though not complete madness, as this madness has a certain logic behind it - making it a sort of organised chaos...I think the main appeal of his releases so far is that they span such a huge bag of influences - from jazz, to funk, to ambient, to breaks, to raw noise. Mu-Ziq uses the sounds of trombones, guitars, and basic percussion within his compositions and somehow makes it all fit together so beautifully. However, the feeling throughout is still electric -- some of it incredibly raw. It is, therefore, the perfect sequel to
Tango N' Vectif
-- taking off immediately where we departed last time. Trust me - you haven't heard anything quite like this before."--Alan Parry.

1996 classic, repressed! The one-and-only duo album from early '96 by Mr. Mike Paradinas (aka µ-ziq) and Mr. Richard D. James (aka AFX). Not the experimental freakout experimental electronic-fest many expected but somewhat underrated at the same time for it's collection of cheesy effects and programming & incessant melodies.

REPH 037CD
All-time classic debut album from 1996.
Squarepusher
is the UK's
Tom Jenkinson
. Stunning, complex programming intertwined with fusion-flecked electric bass creating some of the most euphoric, havoc-wrecked sounds of the contemporary era. This is the album that put it all together (to be followed by a series of albums for Warp) and is, in simple terms, one of the cornerstones of mid-'90s sound recordings. "
The next thing I felt was a fuzzy vibration, as monophonic sound waves that had travelled from the other side of the room at the speed of light, compressed the air and displacing the the smoke of ten spliffs, hit me in both ears simultaneously. It was Mr. Jenkinson who was turning my heartbeat into the sound of a ring piece modulated resonant phaselocked trapezoid backwards edit phlanged kick drum. He made the sound of ambulances turn into slide trombones and the sound of a secretary filing her nails into a 24-piece string section. Undoubtedly, Tom Jenkinson is the first man in history to orchestrate an Alka-Seltzer fizzing a two mega byte Simms memory upgrade chip (with 1 nanosecond access time) and a toilet flushing. When Mr. Jenkinson is conducting, the rest of the world is a pit. The Squarepusher is someone who wonders what the holes of a flute sound like without the flute. Sound like sound never sounded before.
Richard Rogers
and
Julie Andrews
gave us the
Sound of Music
,
John Cage
and
Simon and Garfunkel
gave us the "Sound of Silence" and now the Squarepusher gives the Sound of Sound

Classic oldschool electro compilation, full of early Kraftwerk sampling mania, etc. "The Members of the group are David Noller and Scott Weiser. David got his start spinning in Clubs back in '85. He used to play samples over dance music using an Emulator. That same year he made the song 'Just Give The DJ A Break'. In '86 he signed to Bass Station Records in Miami. Shortly thereafter he met Scott, who had been playing piano since the age of six and synthesizers since the early 80's. They decided to build a studio by bringing together their collection of drum machines, samplers and analogue gear. Together they have been releasing electronic dance albums for over a decade, packing the dance floors with cult classics like 'Techno Bass', 'Don't Touch That Dial', and the legendary 'Just Give The DJ A Break' (which sold 600,000 copies in America). Vowing to always stay in the underground, they comment on their gold records from the 80's, stating 'It was always word of mouth, the music always sold because it was good at the time, not because of some promotional scheme". Eleven Albums and thirteen years later, the duo is going through a major revival because of today's resurgence of electro music. Their older classic songs are now being sampled by newer bands like Eon, The Cotton Club and The Chemical Brothers, to name a few. 'It's odd, Dynamix II explain, 'Many of the club kids at the raves and parties we play were children when 'Just Give The DJ A Break' came out in 1986. So many of them have never heard of us or they think that we are new.' To circumvent this, the group has recently compiled this one hour continuous mix CD subtitled

2000 release. "Matt Yee-King (25), another new artist on Rephlex, but by no means a stranger to music making. At 16 he started playing drums and was in a school band with Tom 'Squarepusher' Jenkinson and Jordan 'Railway Raver' Muscott. He went to university in Leeds and learnt how to drink cheap cider and genetically modify viruses. After graduating with his BSc in Zoology and Genetics he moved to Brighton and wrote loads of tracks and was in a band with Jamie Lidelle (Supercollider) and did a couple of improv gigs with Tom Jenkinson. Then he went back to university again to learn what artificial life is and how to genetically modify music. He is java programmer by trade, and also designed the web site for Action on Smoking and Health. www.ash.org.uk/. He likes strong cheese and fish, claims to be musically influenced by Aphex, Squarepusher and any 'funny rock bands? like Whitesnake and James Joyce' and he doesn't like people who won't argue. Basically he's a brainbox-computer-wizzkid. Most people own a copy of Warp's

"Robert Normandeau was born on March 11, 1955, in Québec City (Canada). After a BMus in Composition (Electroacoustics) from Université Laval (Québec City, 1984) he moved to Montréal and completed a MMus in Composition (in 1988) and the first DMus in Electroacoustics Composition (in 1992) with Marcelle Deschênes and Francis Dhomont. He is a founding member of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC, 1987). From 1986 to 1993, he was an active member of the Association pour la création et la recherche électroacoustiques du Québec (ACREQ) where he produced the Clair de terre concert series at the Planetarium of Montréal. In 1991, he co-founded Réseaux, an organisation for the production of media arts events. Having produced several instrumental and mixed works, his current endeavors are focused on acousmatic music. More specifically, his compositions employ ĉsthetic criteria whereby he creates a 'cinema for the ear' in which 'meaning' as well as 'sound' become elements which elaborate his works. Along with concert music he now writes incidental music, especially for the theater."

"A beautiful home listening album from inventive rephlex stalwart Cylob, conjures up an imagined magical occidental music. Cylob's thoughts on the album:
Mood Bells
was started after a two-week trip to Japan, where I got to check out a few temples, gardens and mountains. There is a chilled out feeling to some of those places that seems unique and it inspired me. This album is my idea of a Japanese traditional music that doesn't exist, based around bell and gong-type sounds. The music is intended for contemplation and relaxation, and to be listened to in one sitting, perhaps accompanied by a cup of green tea. I wanted the album to have a very natural atmosphere, even though the processes of its production were very unnatural. Initially I was going to list the sound sources used on the album sleeve notes, but the music is a figment of my imagination, and I didn't want anything to ruin this 'illusion'. Some things are recognisable though, such as the vibraphone and the tam tam gong at the beginning of the album."

"Astrobotnia is a new and mysterious signing on Rephlex with three (!) releases coming up this year, taking in influences from braindance peers such as Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Bogdan Raczynski, Drexciya and Luke Vibert.
Part 1
is a fluffy musical bed and starts with the sound of gasps as fireworks explode and ends with canned applause for a lonesome piano player. Throughout, you will hear music inspired by the dream of a pregnant male friend and a voice that intones, 'Satan is good, Satan is our pal'. Sounds weird and scary? It certainly does, but
Part 1
is a most relaxing, melodic journey through Astrobotnia's cosmos. However, there could be turbulences along the way. Astrobotnia is along the best and most interesting music that was ever released on Rephlex and an absolute must for everyone into new and exiting music."

Broken Toys' Corner

"Rephlex presents the first ever release of the soundtrack of the video
Eurotechno
from 1989. Hailed as a visionary landmark in dance music culture this mini-album is must for everybody into Acid Techno magic. The man behind the music is Brian Dougans who is most famous as half of the duo Future Sound Of London, but early recognition came for him with the European and UK hit single 'Stakker Humanoid', under the name Humanoid in 1988. Around the same time, he teamed up with the groundbreaking video artist Mark McClean aka Stakker, after meeting at Salford College. Mark built a video suite around a Fairlight Graphics box; Brian found a Roland TB303 (the machine responsible for the squelchy acid noise) in the basement of his college and began using it, creating sketches similar to those he was hearing emerge in Manchester at the beginnings of the Acid House scene. Their synergy was unique and extremely exciting, and the partnership culminated in the creative masterpiece
Eurotechno
, released on Virgin's Videola label. This video was the first time the emerging bedroom electronics scene expanded into the visual medium. It was essentially one of the first commercial V.J tools, showing just how much could be done by bedroom programmers. When the video was released, Rephlex were still in school uniforms and living in Cornwall, but it was one of the main things that inspired us to set up a label. For us this is the fulfillment of a long-term dream; to make the soundtrack of this visionary film available for the first time on CD and Vinyl. The album was painstakingly tracked down and mastered direct from the original master tapes of the film. It captures the audio overload of the incredible music in all its intricate, precise detail. The release of this soundtrack isn't an exercise in nostalgia, or a cash in on all things 'old school'. We are delighted to release this music, as we genuinely feel it sounds as fresh, exciting and unsurpassable at this time as any other, and for this reason it needs to be listened to and enjoyed rather than forgotten."

"Lory D is a name you will find missing from the list of celebrated dark techno producers, e.g. Jeff Mills, The Mover, Lenny Dee and the Aphex Twin although his music, is as essential. He's an ex Italian D.M.C champion who has been playing since 1989 and owns the seminal Roman techno label Sounds Never Seen. He was one of the first people to bring the Acid House and Hardcore sounds of London to Rome, where he is regarded as something of a god. His inspiration comes from Rome's nighttime metropolis, the darkness and beauty of the city and the overwhelming feeling of the underground raves he plays. His musical influences are as wide ranging as Aphex Twin, Suicide, Drexciya, Spk, Ligeti, Frankie Bones, The Mover and Underground Resistance.
Sounds Never Seen
has released a clutch of twisted metal soundtracks in recent years... never more than 500 copies pressed and all fanatically collected by likeminded freaks. All the records are most effective floor fillers, all are 'sounds never seen'. Together with Rephlex label-mates, Leo Anibaldi, Bochum Welt and the D'Arcangelo brothers, Lory D best represents the sound of Italy, or even the 'sound of Rome', since 1991. Lory's music is fearless, original and strong Electro and Techno. There isn't much of that around and the world needs to hear this album."

"South Londoner DJ Scud aka Toby Reynolds is boss of the premier breakcore label Ambush records established in 1997. The way he makes music is by thinking 'will this record mash the place up, and infect the vibe?' So when you listen to this, bear witness. The music he makes was inspired by dancing all night at the peak of the UK rave scene, also European clubs like Tresor and the Bunker, the UK free party scene and the dance floor militancy of labels such as Underground Resistance. Over his career he has released material on a number of other notable labels including Position Chrome (under the alias The Redeemer co-produced with Panacea), kool.POP, Klangkrieg, Full Watts and more recently on I-Sound's newly formed imprint Transparent. His music is a cross fertilisation of Dancehall, Jungle and Breakbeat Hardcore with the shrill noise and energy of Punk. It"s a powerful collision of styles and approaches combining uncompromising experimentalism with healthy doses of sound system inspired populism. DJ Scud has gained a reputation as a fine re-mixer, lending his skills to artists such as DJ Rupture and Asian Dub Foundation and was dubbed the new Aphex Twin by Radio 1's Steve Lamaq. He regularly plays at parties in Europe and the States and has gained a reputation for his punishing, shrill sets, maintaining his total commitment to single minded full-on uncompromising sonic assaults whilst still keeping feet on the floor with infectious breaks and beats."

"Victor Gama was born in Angola of Portuguese origin. In 1993 he started to create his
Pangeia Instrumentos
, inspired by the notion that because of migration and nomadisim, traditional African instruments have had to adapt throughout history, whilst keeping their traditional identity and sound. This suggests that, traditional acoustic instruments from ancient times could still evolve into contemporary musical instruments. This is exactly what the
Pangeia Instrumentos
are. What is also unusual about the instruments is that two people can play them at the same time. The music has beauty and ragged harmony, transcending the ancient and modern, African and Occidental. At times it echoes the American minimalist composers. This is the second release on Rephlex to explore the craft of instrument building; Pierre Bastien's 2001 release
Mecanoid

"This release is the sister release to AFXs
Smojphace EP
which features a remix of the track 'Run The Place Red' from The Bug's
Pressure
album. The Bug aka Kevin Martin was indelibly marked by the skull crushing impact of seismic UK dub sound systems (Jah Shaka, Aba-Shanti-I, Iration Steppas etc.) throughout the 90s, and became increasingly obsessed with Ragga's bionic gyrations. Under various guises (Ice, God, Techno Animal, Curse Of The Golden Vampire), Kevin Martin has worked with Bill Laswell, John Zorn, Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), Alec Empire And Def Jux's El-P, among many others. Cutty Ranks is one of the greatest DeeJays ever to come out of Jamaica. His debut 45, 'Gunman Lyrics' was a dancehall hit, which was quickly followed with tunes like 'Out Of Hand' or 'Fisherman Lyrics' for Winston Riley's Techniques label and 'The Bomber' (Shocking Vibes) which was his first worldwide dancehall smash at the beginning of the 1990s. Rephlex is proud that The Bug has recorded with Cutty, because, unlike a large number of the stars of dancehall, he doesn't voice out too many tunes keeping it strict. This track is a reworking of the aforementioned Gunman lyrics."
