Uma 089 MAURIZIO BIANCHI – VOYEUR TAPE LP



Maurizio Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Voyeur Tape was one of the first release under the name MB (after Industrial and Atomique Tape), recorded in July 1980.
Maurizio Bianchi elaborates his abstract and exhausting art with care and great detail. Voyeur Tape is a tangible example of depraved investigation. Not continue quiet while listening to these tracks, it seems that something tremendous to happen. And then it materializes to be kidnapped by the magma of these sounds that create an extremely cruel, desolate and shady  soundscape.

The record has been cut direct to metal (DMM) and has been pressed on 140 gr black vinyl with black label and black inner sleeve and comes in a deluxe silver silkscreen on black cardboard sleeve with new artwork and layout , limited to 99 copies w/insert in luxury 160 gr ivory paper and an original color photograph made by Maurizio Bianchi specific for this release.

Uma 090 MAURIZIO BIANCHI – COLD TAPE LP



Maurizio Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". In the beginning, he published tapes under the alias Sacher-Pelz. Cold Tape that follow Voyeur Tape and close tetralogy began with Industrial Tape, was recorded in August 1980 under the name MB.
Cold Tape is composed of two long and exquisite pieces, with muddy and powerful sounds. It seems to walk the sidewalk wrong, to walk on thorns without the rose petals. The petals were eaten by the dancers and irascible elves. Music is hardened by a hidden evil and melancholy, where everything does not want to stand in his place.

Uma 091 MASONNA – THE PASSION OF RUBBERS LP



The question of what's one's favorite item from their collection (or accumulation) consistently pops up in conversations amongst fans and collectors, and this unquestionably is always my answer. From head-to-toe, insert-to-tape, all elements are in glorious harmony and conversation with what another. Having the G.R.O.S.S. label's 'industrial design' fetish/obsession (some would say a relatively antiseptic departure from much of the other noise tapes of the time) articulating the sexualized rubber/bondage theme is a fantastic intersection, and one, to my knowledge, not touched upon again as overtly by the label (the subtle rope-play of The Three Temples excluded). The presentation truly is the content, and vice-versa; a unique trait in the young but deep legacy of Noise tape packaging. I marvel at the object's concrete refined sense of pruriency – the particular choice of patterned rubber material, the ornamental silver, the crude claw of staples holding the fucker together – all without resorting to pre-fabricated means (for example Dildo & the Dildoes releasing a tape hanging from a vibrator or something). Every time I've slowly and carefully undone the buckle, hear the crack of Velcro, pried the rubber shell open, and later meticulously sealed up its intricacies once I'm finished, the process has felt like nothing less than ritual.
Moving on to the actual tapes themeself – double C10 – another perfect choice ; four parts of 'acidtronics' – a concise statement forced by physical circumstance. I've always been a sucker for increments of twenty minutes on cassettes (in this case the total program being twenty), as well as short tapes, maybe because they focus on what truly matters – how the 'side flip' is handled: a similarity with others' obsession with 7-inch singles. Parts One, Two and Four offer 'live takes', uncut and ramming full speed , differing from the intense cut up techniques reported on other studio efforts from the time period; just organic velocity. A fucking monolithic vacuum cleaner sucking up all bullshit 'good time' posturing, headbands and peace signs, and blowing them into a rubber isolation suite filled with sex gas so that one can truly get deep and 'well-acquainted ' with the finer onanistic details. The Third part/side is a relative anomaly, a marked contrast – echoed out spacious synth bells – the tense and the delicate sharing opposite sides of the same space as the brutish and primal. Simple but effective sequencing; a crucial piece that bare all intentions behind the churning sonic mass surrounding. Taken inside as a whole, the four side shape a massively pleasing and dynamic curve. Absolutely 'psych' – psychosexual and psychedelic. A ++, five star, two thumbs up, four spurting cocks and all that.
