Let's start the last newsletter of this year with the six new editions! Hot Finnish guys from
Polkka Love Machine will guarantee you a lovely evening with your girlfriend to the sounds of their eponymous album released on cassette and CD-R in cooperation with
Aquarellist and
Saaren Levy labels. A selection of hollows with various degrees of immersion - in the "Greatest Hits" collection from the
Pustota project! Fresh, juicy and tart collaboration album of the Volgograd-based project
X3D5 and the all-mighty
Noises Of Russia! A departure to the parallel worlds following a hypnotic psychedelic drone from
Hattifnatter (again, both on disc and cassette). Exploration of the inner and outer space made by
Bardoseneticcube and
Shinkiro. And finally, the CD edition of the recent album by
Reutoff "No One's Lullabies". A lot to listen to during holidays! :)
The mailorder catalogue was updated by some stuff from the Russian scene - the new works by
Lunar Abyss,
YAO 91404 D, cassettes by
Reutoff and
Cisfinitum, releases by such labels as
Spina!Rec,
Operator Produkzion,
Bookwar Records,
Frozen Light and
Aquarellist. The international scene is represented by the new long-awaited album of the dark German romantics
November Növelet, plus new releases from the Italian label
Silentes and Japanese
SSSM.
And of course tonight we start our traditional
winter sale featuring about a thousand titles from the catalogue. The terms of sale are still the same - when ordering ten or more items marked by the sign
[-50%], you can buy them for half-price. Some of the items from the
rare / used list, marked by green colour, may also be bought with the discount.
Wish you joyful and heartful holidays!
See you next year!

Spring finally pervades our minds and bodies, vital forces wake up from hibernation and prepare to bloom in full power. Just take a look at a concert list for the coming month - at least a couple of gigs every weekend! One of the most important events for us is the traditional COSMONOISE festival, which is going to happen on the Day of Cosmonautics - April 12th. This time it will feature performances by two Moscow-based projects - CISFINITUM and SAL SOLARIS, - who play in St. Petersburg quite rarely. A company for them is provided by the ever-present psycho navigators GOVORIT RADIO "KOSMOS" and the visual magician VJ Yuri Elik. If you're somehow around, try not to miss!
But this is only in a month. And now we have gathered some amount of new releases from local labels, such as Still*Sleep, Eternal Return Records, Infinite Fog Productions, Spina!Rec, Intonema, new album by Rapoon on :retortae: label, reissue of a classical Muslimgauze album on Aquarellist, new releases by Lunar Abyss + Ogni Videniy, Zinc Room, and a bit of second-hand items.
