COSEY FANNI TUTTI & PHILIPPE PETIT: Mist While Sleeping / Invisible Whispers
DPROMEP83

Last year we at Dirter released "Fiends With A Face" documenting the first step of James Johnston and Philippe Petit, and this time the French "musical travel-agent" teams up with Throbbing Gristle's legendary Cosey Fanni Tutti. The instrumental pieces "Mist While Sleeping" & "Invisible Whispers" were recorded a long time ago and then manufactured as unique vinyl units which Philippe Petit used during his musical sets. After many playing, their texture was gradually changing and as a result, there was an alteration in the sound.

To your ears will come an echo of the past with the vinyls' warm cracklings... On ''Mist while sleeping'', Philippe decided to take advantage of the patina of age to elaborate a peculiar sound texture. However to emphasize the aging on the piece ''Invisible whispers'', Philippe resorted to sand paper. It was therefore only natural to release the pieces on vinyl to give the chance to all of us in turn to enjoy the organic maturation in sound that time will slowly develop... the decision to pick Cosey Fanni Tutti has flourished overnight because of her other-worldly timbre which brings a delicate, poetic touch, both human and hazy, as if a mermaid were whispering her spell-binding ballad to our ears...

This beautiful picture disc 7" is limited to just 350 copies worldwide.

This CD is the debut release from this band formed by Faust percussionist and German Noise Terrorist, Zappi Diermaier. Regular listeners to his work, will know by now that Zappi doesn't do "conventional". The line up features: Karin Meier:  voice,  Johannes Bahlmann:  keyboard, guitar, Fritz Renzo Heinze: bass guitar, the late Thomas E Martin: sounds, guitar and Zappi W Diermaier:  drums, tools.

The shows they play are blasted out at ear splitting volume and in their own words:  "The music of "derschlaeger" is a combination of typical German "Schlager" music and kind of abstract and aggressive instrumental overlays.

The lead vocals definitely represent the original harmonies and lyrics of the "Schlager" whereas the vocalist live performance has a more punky attitude. SCHLAGER: typical German popular songs mainly from the 60ies."  We at Dirter don't really have much to add to that, as this recording has to be heard to be believed; put simply - you won't have heard anything like this. Ever.

Boomkat said:

"Another spectacular torrent of Dadaist experimental exotica from Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles, with a suitably scattershot list of contributors and collaborators, including repeat offender Colin Potter (credited with "testicular randomisation") and a host of 'proper' musicians and vocalists prepared to undergo the NWW treatment. As with the companion release to this album, The Bacteria Magnet, Nurse With Wound are currently set on a creative trajectory that dismantles the auditory iconography of the fifties, marauding through eerie re-renderings of jazz club instrumentals, electroacoustic traffic sounds and skewed torch songs. As NWW albums go, this is probably among the more outwardly approachable releases, but in fact it's the very proximity to the language of pop music that makes Huffin' Rag Blues all the more subversive - subtly yet horrifically carving up and perverting lounge music like an auditory David Lynch on 'Thrill Of Romance..?', and layering distressed animal recordings on top of one another, sounding like Chris Watson at Papa Lazarou's circus during 'The Funktion Of The Hairy Egg'. "

and we really couldn't have put it better ourselves.

15.02.10 RELEASE NEWS

Behind the scenes at Dirter we've been extremely busy. The Nurse With Wound re-issue series is continuing and we are going back to the original master tapes to achieve the best possible results. We are delighted to say that the UK's finest mastering engineer, Denis Blackham, has been at the helm. Denis should need no introduction, as his expertise and huge legacy are second to none.

Here are a few pictures from the session where the restoration of "To The Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl", "Merzbild Schwet" and "The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion" took place.

What you will hear is genuine re-mastering - not tinkering too much, but using the best equipment and calling on Denis' (over) 40 years experience to get far and away the very best sounding versions yet. Stephen Stapleton has heard the results and is absolutely delighted with them. Further news of formats/release dates etc will be announced in due course.

MERZBOW: Another Merzbow Records
DPROMTCD75

We kick-off 2010 with possibly the most essential Merzbow release for many years.  This 3CD set is culled from appearances on various compilations, ranging from the most obscure cassette releases, to long out of print gems on labels such as Blast First and Susan Lawly.  This material spans an entire decade from 1991 to 2001 and as such, tells its own story of the development and sonic chicanery that is the Merzbow sound during this time.

The three CDs in full colour sleeves are packed inside a beautiful bronze printed slip case and the set is limited to 1000 copies.

A STATEMENT FROM DIRTER RE "PARANOIA IN HI-FI" / CARGO DISTRIBUTION

We at Dirter would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to all the retail outlets that are supporting this project with such enthusiasm. It is our hope that the folks who call in to buy this CD will have a good browse while they're in and buy something else - that's the intention. At the same time we would like to say a big "FUCK YOU" to the small amount of shops who are shifting the blame for them not stocking the CD to Cargo. Cargo are working way beyond their normal working hours on this release for no financial gain in order to meet the demand. To emphasize: They have NO minimum order for this release - if a shop wants 1 copy they will send it to them. It seems a very small handful of stores feel that it's not worth their while stocking this CD, so they blame Cargo. They are missing the point of what this is trying to achieve. We DO NOT think CDs are too cheap, on the contrary.
By issuing this, our aims are (in case it's not painfully obvious):

1. To hopefully expose the music of one of the most important and innovative bands of the last 3 decades, Nurse With Wound, to many more people than are hearing them at the moment. We feel they are vastly under represented and should be heard by a much larger audience.

2. By trying to prevent the supermarket chains, online shops etc from stocking this, we are kicking back at the death blows they have dealt to independent music with their crippling price structures. As previously stated, this is NOT some kind statement that CDs should be cheaper. It is hoped that this should be the "bait" to get a few people back in the shops and re-discovering the fun in buying records, as well as reaching some who may not be familiar with NWW. It would seem that our (possibly misguided) naive idealism is being hurled back in our face by some. Well nothing's ever black and white is it? We live and learn.

Finally we would like to add how proud we are to be affiliated with Cargo Distribution and openly thank them for their efforts way beyond the call of duty on this and all of our releases. There would be no Dirter if it wasn't for Cargo.

RAMLEH: Hole In The Heart
DPROMDCD73

Here at last, is part of the "missing link" in the long and ever evolving history of Ramleh.  This material bridges the gap between the (for want of a better description) early "power electronics" material and the (for want of a better description) later "noise rock" . Neither of these terms do justice to this pioneering group led by Gary Mundy.  Originally issued by Gary's own "Broken Flag" label in 1987 on cassette, "Hole in the Heart" is presented here, both expanded and remastered  on a double CD set.

To quote Anthony Di Franco (the other half of the band these days) : "...swirling phased feedback, fuzzed vocals and guitars. At the same time there were melodies, words and structures in the music, which itself consisted of very simple electronic and acoustic elements magnified to a colossal scale..."  This music has a harmonic beauty, if you look for it, that all its imitators lack. Listen and you will hear the genesis of what was to follow from many 90's underground bands such as label mates and close collaborators, Skullflower.

NURSE WITH WOUND:
Paranoia In Hi-Fi
DPROMCD69
BARCODE: 823566481423

RELEASE DATE: 30 NOVEMBER 2009. WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION IS VIA CARGO RECORDS.

ONLY AVAILABLE IN RECORD SHOPS.

PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL, BEG OR PLEAD FOR A COPY VIA MAIL-ORDER - WE DO NOT HAVE ANY.

GO AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL RECORD STORE BEFORE IT CLOSES... FOREVER. ASK THEM TO ORDER IT FROM CARGO DISTRIBUTION.

With a nod and a huge gesture of respect towards the pioneering efforts of Virgin Records in the 1970s with the release of "The Faust Tapes" LP for 50p, here is a Nurse With Wound full length CD in a decent jewel case, with proper artwork that sells for 99p. This will only be available in high street shops, there will be NO mail order, either from Dirter, Andrew Liles or anyone of the usual mail-order outlets. That's the idea - you have to go into a record shop to buy it. In today's world of downloads, free CDs with the Daily Mail, and high street record retail dying on its arse, this is our way of doing our bit to get people to go into their local store. This is a a release to celebrate 30 + years of NURSE WITH WOUND whilst simultaneously being a homage to browsing, searching, chance finds, spending our last penny, random buys, BIG mistakes, best finds ever and to commemorate and thank all the wonderful wonderlands around the world that were and still are (in some cases) RECORD SHOPS...coming to all GOOD record stores... and hopefully a few bad ones as well.

Info about the music contained in this disc as written by Andrew Liles is below, he says it's the greatest album ever made and he should know...

Paranoia in Hi-Fi collects 30 years of Nurse With Wound recordings in one easy to swallow CD. This CD confirms what all Nurse With Wound followers have known for many years, and will open the ears for new listeners to the fact that Nurse With Wound have always been an outstandingly innovative and ceaselessly creative force. Never staying still NWW are unpredictable, disconcerting, humorous and always original. With a flagrant disregard and disinterest in musical styles, cliques or fashions the uniquely independent and autonomous NWW have made over 50 albums with no regard and no interest in their critical or commercial reception. Mixing the sublime with the ridiculous Steven Stapleton and NWW uncompromisingly carve their own distinct style that has a musical language and visual landscape entirely of its own. Drawing inspiration from far flung corners including DaDa, Perez Prado, Surrealism, Krautrock and whole cascade of other ideas NWW have created a diverse back catalogue of material from ambient classics (Soliloquy for Lilith) to the disturbed (Homotopy to Marie) and many other easy listening nightmares. NWW is an idyllic and fascinating tropical island way out there on a limb, the visitors who make it to their shores seldom ever want to leave. Paranoia in Hi-Fi covers almost all of NWW's wild and eclectic sinister whimsy and shows that in Steven Stapleton's world everything is possible...possible,
possible.

DPROMDLP71

Regular edition of the long awaited re-issue of the timeless NWW debut release from 1979. Described by "Sounds" at the time as a record that "makes The Faust Tapes sound like Carousel". Nothing has changed to alter this view over the last 30 years, and to say that this work is the "Sgt. Pepper of the avant garde" would not be hyperbole.

2LP set in beautiful gloss laminated sleeve, including printed inners with the legendary "NWW list" as well as sleeve notes by Steven Stapleton. Includes the extra track "Strain, Crack, Break" (never previously available on vinyl) on side three and an etching on side four.

MANIAC - LILES - CZRAL
- DET SKJEDDE NOE NÅR DU VAR I BELGIA DPROMCD74

A thirteen year time warp and the bizarre narrative of a humble Norwegian discussing 'topical Belgian issues' from the very edge of West Yorkshire makes this a very strange recording indeed.

Former Mayhem front man Maniac (Skitliv, Sehnsucht, Bomberos) has teamed up with Andrews Liles and Czral (Virus, Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir, Dodheimsgard) to release an album that he and Czral began working on in 1996. The 14-track album will have the title “Det Skjedde Noe Når Du Var I Belgia” (Something Happened While You Were In Belgium).

A track from the album, can be heard at the official MySpace page.

From Terrorizer -

“It wasn't something we expected to do at all,” explained Maniac. “Czral and I had recorded the original material all those years ago but other commitments had meant that we were never able to get round to finishing it off and releasing it, and I’d brought it with me to the UK for my manager to listen to just out of interest, but it was a DAT tape and she didn't have the right equipment for it. I was also visiting Andrew Liles who was mastering the new Skitliv album, and preparing to master the new SEHNSUCHT album, so we converted the tape in his studio. Andrew’s enthusiasm for what he heard got the better of him, and we started working on it straight away”.

Order Maniac - Liles - Czral - 'Det Skjedde Noe Når Du Var I Belgia' here

We are very pleased to announce that we are now taking pre-orders for the first in the United Dirter series of Nurse With Wound vinyl re-issues.

It will be a 2 LP set with the extra track "Strain, Crack, Break" (never previously available on vinyl and appearing for the first time in any format in its intended unedited form) on side three and an etching on side four. There will a special edition and a regular edition of this release.

The special box set will be limited to 500 numbered copies only. Advance subscribers via this website ONLY will have a chance to order one of the first 250 copes, which will come with a signed fine art print.     

It will consist of:

• The double LP.

• A T-Shirt with the legendary "NWW list" in luminous ink on a black shirt. All shirts will be in size "Large". The sets will be shrink-wrapped at factory level, so it is not possible to vary the sizes to order. However, we are offering a chance for anybody to purchase an extra shirt in another specific size, at cost price for the next two weeks. Please email info@dirter.co.uk and (important) state only "nww shirt" as the subject if you are interested.

• A die cut pin badge of the front image

• A beautiful fine art print of the iconic front sleeve on the highest quality art paper. The prints will be made using the original artwork, kindly entrusted to us by David Tibet from his personal collection. Each print will be signed by Steven Stapleton and numbered. It will be a faithful reproduction of the original art down to the finest detail. This is the closest we will get to owning the original artwork.

The collection will be housed in a superb printed matt laminated box, each individually numbered.

We are aware that many of you have been patiently waiting for this for some while now. The delay has been caused by us receiving prototypes of the intended polypropylene box and not being happy with them. So, we had to change the whole design and we're now delighted to offer a set that we feel is really special.

Please note that the shipping on this is very expensive. The packages will weigh well over 1.5 kilos and no copies will be sent uninsured. The cost price to us is far too high to take any chances. So, the shipping charge to your area will include either shipping via insured courier, or insured mail. Either way, the package will have to be signed for.

The pre-order subscriber's price for the set is £45 + shipping.  We expect to ship this week beginning August 3rd. If this moves in any way, the website will be updated.

JAMES JOHNSTON & PHILIPPE PETIT - 'FIENDS WITH A FACE' CD

'"Fiends With A Face" is the first collaborative work from James Johnston and Philippe Petit.

As the titles suggest it is an hommage to the golden era of horror movies. Our two fiends wanted conjure up blood-curdling and haunting soundscapes, playing with unsettling ambiances in order to create a contemporary soundtrack for those who like to be frightened.

Philippe Petit is interested in oundtracks, even if he creates original music he'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel agent" than a composer.

His first solo album "Henry: The Iron Man" originated from a dream that Shinya Tsukamoto was working on a blurred remake of "Eraserhead", and he was to soundtrack the grotesque mutation of Henry into an "Iron Man". It is now released on Beta Lactam Ring Records.

James Johnston is the singer, multi-instrumentalist, and founding member of influential UK band Gallon Drunk, the group's last studio album The Rotten Mile being released in 2007. He also plays with Krautrock legends Faust, and has recorded and toured with a variety of other musicians such as Barry Adamson, Dot Allison, 2nd Gen, Ulan Bator, Lydia Lunch, and a member of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds from 2003-2008, (originally touring with the band in 1994).

The CD will come packaged in a beautiful full colour gatefold sleeve with a printed inner sleeve and is limited in this format to 1000 copies.

Price is £10 plus P&P Worldwide. Now shipping.

RICHARD PINHAS / MERZBOW - 'KEIO LINE'

An incredible collaboration that sweeps across the generations of electronic music.

Richard Pinhas is internationally recognized as one of France's major experimental musicians: the "father" of French electronic music. He was the founder of Heldon, a band whose violent fusion of electronics and guitar in the '70s rivalled the German electronic school.

As a guitar player he has been compared to Robert Fripp. Cited as an influence by many electronic musicians, Richard Pinhas has helped to define the Spacemusic genre. Since founding the seminal spacerock band Heldon in 1974, Pinhas has released over 15 albums, had involvement in dozens more and shaped the way we listen to music today.

Masami Akita aka Merzbow is the forerunner of Japanese electronic music, and for the last 20 years plus, has been at the top of his game ploughing more and more extreme sonic territories.

This release, recorded in Tokyo in October 2007, will surprise a lot of people in its sheer beauty. This is a collaboration that works in the true sense of the word, with each artist complimenting the other over six long sprawling tracks each occupying the whole of a side.

The set comes housed in a gloss laminated sleeve on 140 gm vinyl - yes, that’s 140 gm vinyl; the quality is superior to thick 180 gm (and we have finally had this proved to us by a very patient expert in this field) and is limited to just 1000 copies.
