About
Aura was a record label active during the 1980s, primarily focused on releasing experimental and avant-garde music on vinyl. Based on the documented releases in the archive, the label operated between at least 1980 and 1985, issuing material across the LP format. The label's catalog included works such as "Hey! Little Child" (1980), "Drama of Exile" (1981), and "The Blue Angel" (1985), suggesting an interest in artistic and unconventional sonic territories. Though limited documentation exists regarding the label's founding principles or complete artist roster, Aura's release schedule and choice of material indicate positioning within underground and experimental music circles of the early 1980s. The label's significance lies in its contribution to the independent music ecosystem during a formative period for avant-garde and post-industrial sounds. Like many small independent labels of the era, Aura's operations appear to have been modest in scale, with a curated approach to artist selection and limited release quantities, characteristic of underground music distribution networks of the time.
