Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: An Awkward Pause Special Edition
Format: 2xCD Catalog
Number:
1921
Price: $21.50 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
11/27/06
***Durtro Jnana is pleased to re-release one of the most popular albums in the Nurse With Wound discography. Originally released in 1999, An Awkward Pause adds David Tibet (Current 93), Christoph Heemann, Colin Potter and Petr Vastl (Aranos) to the mix, resulting in an extremely unique sounding and dare we say, rocking release.

The two-CD set features a deluxe six-panel digipak and adds to the the original recording an entire disc of previously unreleased material. Most interesting for Nurse fans may be the bonus version of "Two Shaves and a Shine" which contains all the elements listeners will need to take and create their own mix. Absolutely essential!


Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Drunk With The Old Man Of The Mountains
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
1978
Price: $13.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
1/17/05
***Originally released on LP in 1987 in an edition of 100 copies, this marks the first ever CD release of this Nurse With Wound classic. Comes housed in a gorgeous six-panel digipack featuring reproductions of some of the artwork that came with the original vinyl edition.

As a testament to the random disorder and beauty of life, London's Nurse with Wound (Steve Stapleton) functioned outside the normal musical channels for a decade, experimenting with tape collages of disjointed phrases, improvised music, electronics and found sounds on a series of intriguing, provocative, humorous and frequently entertaining self-released records. Between 1978 and 1988, Stapleton collaborated with such likeminded sonic adventurers as David Tibet of Current 93 and Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus to produce a prodigious body of work that embraces surrealism in both content and graphics.

Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Homotopy To Marie
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
366
Price: $13.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
10/8/07
***Homotopy to Marie, originally released in 1982, was the fifth Nurse With Wound album. Steven Stapleton considers it to be the first "real" Nurse record as it was the first record he'd made without any intervention from his early partners. Its release also marked the point where Stapleton assumed the mantle of Nurse for all future releases.

Musically, Homotopy is a brilliant example of Stapleton's tape editing and manipulation, producing a disturbing avant-garde collage that remains a stunning listen!

Homotopy has been out of print for a few years and appears now with newly designed artwork in a six-panel digipack. This issue has also corrected the misplaced track index points which marred previous CD reissues.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

I Cannot Feel You As The Dogs Are Laughing And I Am Blind
Homotopy To Marie
Astral Dustbin Dirge
The Schm/orz (Unsullied By Suckling)
The Tumultuous Upsurge (Of Lasting Hatred)

Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Huffin' Rag Blues
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
UJ444
Price: $13.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
6/16/08
***Nurse With Wound is the main recording vehicle for British musician Steven Stapleton. Since 1978, with collaborators such as David Tibet (Current 93), John Balance (Coil), Colin Potter and Matt Waldron (Irr. App [Ext]), Nurse With Wound has released dozens of albums that draw on nearly every genre of music. The only constant is that one never knows what the next album will sound like.

Stapleton and Andrew Liles form the core of the band on Huffin' Rag Blues, and the direction to which they are heading is the lounge! Huffin' Rag Blues is unlike any Nurse With Wound album in recent memory as they veer into the space-age bachelor pad. Guest vocalists Lynn Jackson and Freida Abtan channel Peggy Lee, while Matt Waldron also lends his golden pipes to one song. This is truly exotica as imagined by the twisted genius that is Nurse With Wound.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

Willy the Weeper
Groove Grease (Hot Catz)
The Funktion of the Hairy Egg
Black Teeth
Thrill of Romance...?
Livin' with the Night
Ketamineaphonia
Juice Head Crazy Lady
Wash the Dust from My Heart
Cruisin' for a Bruisin'
All of Me

Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Salt Marie Celeste
Format: CD Catalog
Number:
2001CD
Price: $13.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
11/14/05
***United Jnana's Nurse With Wound reissue series continues with Salt Marie Celeste, perhaps the most radical album in the band's catalog. Similar in spirit to Gavin Bryars's "The Sinking of the Titanic," the album's sixty-plus-minute title track delves deep into the themes of unknown darkness and ultimate demise.

Recorded in 2002 by Steven Stapleton and electronic studio wizard Colin Potter, this is a landmark recording in the field of contemporary electronic music. Best known for founding the legendary UK cassette only label, ICR, Potter has also recorded with Current 93, Organum, Jonathan Coleclough, and Ora. The piece was originally intended to provide aural ambience to an exhibit at London's Horse Hospital gallery, and a truncated version appeared on the Music for the Horse Hospital CD compilation. Restored here to its hour-plus running time, the music becomes much more of a foreground-listening experience. Orchestral-like chords flutter back and forth like ships lost at sea while the sounds of passing cars, boat horns, and creaking doors slowly gather momentum in the background. At around the fifty-minute mark all the extraneous sounds are cut short, leaving only the droning chords and the sound of water. It's a stunning effect and quite different than the dense maximalism of earlier albums.

The reissue is packaged in a lavish new digipak featuring the artwork of Ruby Wallis and Babs Santini.

Artist: NURSE WITH WOUND Title: Soliloquy For Lilith
Format: 3xCD Catalog
Number:
UJ666CD
Price: $40.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
6/20/05
***Originally recorded and released in 1988, Nurse With Wound's ambient opus was years ahead of its time, a ground-breaking set of atmospheric sound patterns designed for ritual ceremonies.

Hailed as a masterpiece on release, it soon became a firm favorite of NWW fans and topped the world ambient chart for over three months!

Originally a limited-edition three-album set housed in a handsome 12-inch gold and black foil embossed box, this new edition, a CD facsimile of the original vinyl set, contains the entire album plus 40 minutes of superb quality, previously unreleased music from the original sessions. A gold foil blocked cover and new parchment insert makes this one of United Jnana's most elegant and desirable releases to date.

Soliloquy For Lilith, Nurse With Wound's best selling work... like Sylvie and Babs, is a one-off in the Nurse discography. Originally comprised of six songs for Stapleton's daughter, one on each side of the 3xLP set, the music... is... haunting and otherworldly... and sits head and shoulders above any other ambient or drone work at that time. Created though a chance meeting between a series of guitar FX pedals which generated strange tones and voices that seem to emerge from the ether... almost subterranean or oceanic in feel, the long, twenty-minute-plus tracks take meditative music into a new strata. That's not to say this isn't good for active listening, on the contrary when given full attention the tracks seem to evolve and precipitate more aural wonders with each listen.... --Kavenism.com


Artist: ROGERSON, DIANA Title: Lights Are On But No-One's Home
Format: CD Catalog
Number:

Price: $13.00 Label: United Jnana
Release
Date:
7/23/07
*** Diana Rogerson was a member of cult band Whore 156 in the 1970s. Dubbed "the female Whitehouse," they later mutated into Fistfuck in the early '80s. They were legendary lynchpins in the London underground industrial scene, alongside bands like SPK and the aforementioned Whitehouse. Rogerson later went on to do vocals for Nurse With Wound and Shock Headed Peters, and worked alongside Foetus. She made two albums in the '80s under the pseudonym Chrystal Belle Scrodd. They were described as psychedelic outsider classics by critics and gained underground notoriety. These albums were originally released on the highly collectible United Dairies label.

The Lights Are On But No-One's Home, released on United Jnana, is the long-awaited follow-up to Rogerson's 1987 album Belle De Jour. It is a collection of new songs and instrumentals in her unique style, recorded with the help of Steven Stapleton and Colin Potter (of Nurse With Wound) and also Matt Waldron of irr. app. (ext.). Recently, the early recordings of Fistfuck live performances were released by the Viennese Actionist Recording label and have already sold out! Rogerson is also a guest vocalist on the new Faust album.

30-second MP3 excerpts:

Behind The Curtain Of The Sun
Cupboardie Re-Nude
Asphalt Kiss
Mirage Man
Notes From The Underground To A Crazy Girl
Mother
Chant D'Amour / Da Mort
