"Metamorphism" is a powerfully emotional, violently painful, and strangely ambient work - ungodly deep and loud pulses, around which is wrapped all sorts of whistling and buzzing. There is also abstract guitar strumming throughout chaotic sheets of static and ear-splitting metallic scrapes overwhelming the carefully constructed rhythm. Pocket-friendly reissue of the legendary marble box, in a slimline jewel case. Ltd x 500.

WHITEHOUSE - 'Cruise' 2 x LP (Very Friendly)
The first of the highly-anticipated Whitehouse 180gm vinyl collection series! In 2001, "Cruise" was a result of 3 years of fanatically meticulous preparation, recorded both in the UK by William Bennett and in Chicago by Steve Albini - and written by William Bennet, Philip Best and Peter Sotos. This high quality, limited release showcases what was a new generation Whitehouse sound. Features a rare extra instrumental version of title track, originally released for DJs. Presented on 2 slabs of thick vinyl, with their own inner sleeves, and with a high-quality, shrink-wrapped cover.
The place where it all began. The seminal first album by Whitehouse, recorded in London 1980. Raw and unpolished noise / industrial from the trio of William Bennett, Paul Reuter and Peter McKay. Even to this day "Birthdeath Experience" is a remarkable piece of work created entirely with tone generators and EDP Wasps, and lyrically full of what would be their uncompromising trademark irony. It would prove instrumental in dragging avant-garde electronic music a long way from its initially limited boundaries. As with all the reissues in the series, this album is presented on thick 180g vinyl with inner sleeve and high quality cover, featuring the original artwork.

WHITEHOUSE - 'Total Sex' 2 x LP (Very Friendly)
Hard to believe the extraordinary second album from Whitehouse was recorded back in 1980 (C60/ LP, Come Organisation) - a development and expansion of the pioneering electronic techniques which were demonstrated on the debut "Birthdeath Experience". Also included on this stunning double vinyl set are two rare bonus tracks, taken from the United Dairies 'Hoisting The Black Flag' compilation. Highly recommended!
