Originally released in 1982. "In order to create this sound system, I used the conduction of psychomotor pulses merging it with neurosis signals circulating within the hypertrophic experimentation to get a plant immune-sensitive, so that the metabolism of rumoristic environment emerges with the syndrome dissonant electronics, and the result was Neuro Habitat" --Maurizio Bianchi, 2013.

Originally released in 1982. At the beginning of 1981, Maurizio Bianchi sent some demo tapes to William Bennett's Come Organisation in England; extracts from these tapes were then blended together to form Weltanschauung. The track "Under The Victory Banner," an anachronistic and detrimental track for the rest of the album, has been replaced here "Plutoniumetrio," a track from the same set, originally released on Come Organisation's 1982 compilation Für Ilse Koch. Come Organisation was a record label founded in London in 1979 by William Bennett, initially as a vehicle for his group Come, and later specializing in extreme electronic or controversial music -- in particular the work of Bennet's subsequent group Whitehouse, but also the work of other artists including Maurizio Bianchi, Nurse With Wound, and Charles Manson. When Whitehouse went on hiatus at the end of 1985, Come Organisation was dissolved. Limited numbered edition of 444.

"I've taken inspiration for this medicative work from the sordid persecution of the early Christians, but in other ways we receive objectivistic persecution every day from this standardized system, from our wretched condition and from the modern persecutors which are hidden behind their threatening countenances. The appropriate soundtrack of such perturbed sufferings is this justifiable work, Persecutionem, in which the semblances of our gaolers are inherents on these obstructed sounds, and the hopeful liberation of our existences are culminating on the eschatologic modulations. The deliberate epilogue is contained in the derogatory elevation of our reinstated spirituality for a repulsive capital sentence in order to transform the alienated persecutor into an inalienable victim of persecution" --Maurizio Bianchi, February 2009. Maurizio Bianchi/M .B.: scourged martyrized pre-recorded sounds and tortured waves, with the persecutory interferations by Siegmar Fricke. Maurizio Bianchi is a non-musician active since August 1979. Coming from the punk movement in the mid-'70s, M.B. became soon a pioneer in noise and industrial music. His music was characterized by uncompromising, noisy musique concrète abstractions, produced by turntable, loops, and tape-recorder. The sound he created at that time was the result of permanent frustration in life, love, religion, and politics, reflecting his inner soul and expressed his condition of being lost in a web of sounds and nightmares. After 14 years of mental purification the second M.B. phase began, characterized by a very spiritual approach. Siegmar Fricke, qualifying Bianchi's second-phase works as "Pharmakustik," shares the same fascination for clinical sound abstractions and electronic modulations as M.B., and has done several collaborations with him. Bianchi has worked with various other artists including Aube, Telepherique, Nimh, and Stefano Gentile. Maurizio Bianchi's main inspiration remains human alienation, and his goal is to awaken sleeping consciences.

Originally released in 1981. "The moral of this work is: The past punishment is the inevitable blindness of the present. Death camps were established through the process of dehumanized engineering, to destroy the will of the individual, and to create industrialisation of death. The modern parallel is to override the individual human choice through mass-media that established the city of death, in which marketing has become synonymous with mass destruction. A pathetic symphony for both is inevitable. To prevent physical destruction of the inner sound, I accomplished the noisy dignity of an electronic apparatus with the aim of prosecuting the masses minds that massacre and organize new dehumanization. Symphony for a Genocide is a pseudo-symphonic legislation that make no compromises with the modern musical de-evolution" --Maurizio Bianchi. "Battle green and black" vinyl. Limited numbered edition of 500.

2014 repress, originally released in 2000. Private LP edition of 300 copies in 1984. This record is the soundtrack to 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 one year after it was printed. Moreover, most of the copies were destroyed. Less than 100 actually exist. This was M.B.'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 M.B.'s life. Tenth in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 2000. 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. The eighth in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 2000. Originally issued as a private LP edition of 400 copies in 1983. De-composition for synthetic sounds and electronically generated noises. Here M.B. 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. The seventh in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 1998. 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 mélange 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. Fourth in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 2000. 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. M.B.'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. Ninth in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 2000. The second batch of the complete M.B. reissue program continues, once again issued by EEs'T (in conjunction with Alga Marghen) as a series of five separate CDs, or altogether as a box set. The CDs have been mastered to digital under the supervision of Maurizio Bianchi himself; each CD features the original artwork, the complete documentation (liner notes, reviews, statements) as well as bonus tracks. Reissue of a private LP edition of 300 copies in 1983. M.B.: electronics, rhythms, neutronic effects. The two suites of Das Testament were recorded in 1982 and can be included among the most extreme and uncompromising M.B. recordings. Once more, maximum electronics. Bonus track for this CD edition: more than 30 minutes of M.B. live, recorded at Radio Popolare in Milan on 1/1/83. A unique event, the first and only M.B. concert and the only time he ever played as a synthesizer duo.

2014 repress, originally released in 1998. 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 on the very limited Nowhere to Play in 1981. Let M.B. be your executioner! The second in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress, originally released in 1998. Reissue of a private LP, issued in an 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 release also features "Plutoniumetrico" from the Fur Ilse Koch LP compilation. Third in the "ArcheoMB" CD reissue series.

2014 repress of these 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) and 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 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 on 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 seven 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! Three bonus tracks first issued on Bain Total's International Compilation 2 in 1980.
