The Sand Rays - Remembered Vol. 1 (EPs gathered together)  Оцепешевшие - Разрыв связи  Vetrophonia - Russian Universal Robots  Majdanek Waltz / Denis Tretyakov / The Noktulians - Pentagram

It happened so that exactly 15 years ago, on December 8, 2002, we made our first release - an album of the Russian project CLONING EXPERIMENT FAILURE "Thousand Noises", 115 CDRs in hand-made green cardboard sleeves with golden silk-screen print and technological film inset. For historical purpose we suggest to listen to the whole album, especially since it lasts only for 9 minutes and the last track (cover of Paradise Lost) is worth it! :) You can download it from bandcamp for free, or support the label with a small donation if you'd like:

Meanwhile our publishing activity goes on, and today we're happy to present 4 new releases:
  • The Sand Rays - the new project of the Canadian musician Jim DeJong, known to the lovers of minimalistic drones for his former act The Infant Cycle - subtle atmospheres and crunchy glitches;
  • utterly long-awaited double CD of Otzepenevshiye - in fact, their first solo album in 11 years of the band's existence!
  • cassette mini-album by the legendary project Vetrophonia, dedicated to robots, surely!
  • mighty conceptual work by Majdanek Waltz, Denis Tretyakov and The Noktulians, created on the lyrics by Aleister Crowley and released by our friends from kultFRONT label with the support of Zhelezobeton Distribution Division.
Mailorder catalogue has been updated with plenty of old releases from Monopolka label, as well as the new stuff from Post-Materialization Music, Frozen Light, Aquarellist / Dark Jazz Records, new tapes by such labels as Eternal Turns, &#8734, NEN Records, Burlestor, Noyade Records, plus new arrivals from the Lithuanian label Terror and Polish Zoharum.

Further more, we have radically lowered prices for about a hundred items from the list of used and rare stuff - you'll see the whole list below. Today we also begin our traditional WINTER SALE! As always, if you order 10 or more items from our catalogue, marked with the symbol [-50%], you get them for half-price! The sale will last until the end of winter, but better not wait - many items are available only in single copies. Of course, you can ask us to keep certain stuff reserved for you for some reasonable time - don't hesitate to write!

Melodie Des Vergessens - Palustre Genesis  Hum / Kryptogen Rundfunk - Wolf's Fluid / Daytrip Express  The Owls Are Not What They Seem: David Lynch Tribute Remixes  Now It's Dark: David Lynch Tribute

We're glad to present several new releases!

The album "Palustre Genesis" by Melodie Des Vergessens was planned for release on Zhelezobeton long time ago. Unfortunately these plans couldn't be realized during the lifetime of the author, who left this world in this January... However we haven't forgot about our agreement and we're releasing this album now in memory of the musician.

Audiophile fetishism and lo-fi aesthetics - these contradictions combine in a split-release by Russian projects Hum and Kryptogen Rundfunk "Wolf's Fluid / Daytrip Express" made in a form of a lathe cut 7" record with stylish artwork.

Remember, last year together with kultFRONT label we made a compilation album "Now It's Dark" dedicated to David Lynch? It was sold-out within a year, so now the time has come to continue this story. Many Russian musicians from experimental and dark techno scenes made remixes on the original tracks from this tribute, best of them were included in the new double-CD compilation "The Owls Are Not What They Seem" - 2.5 hours of top-quality darkness in contemplative and even danceable forms!

Along with the release of the new compilation we decided to make a small reprint of the original "Now It's Dark" CD. 100 copies in 6-panel digipak specially for those who missed the first edition.

In addition to new releases, there are also reinforcements of the distro catalogue from the labels Wrotycz Records, Vegvisir Music, Ostroga / Heart-Shaped Box Prod. / Torga Amun, Aquarellist, Indiestate Distribution, Fronte Nordico, new CD by Bad Sector "Quaternion" (Alone At Last), and some more...

More interesting news! Our good friend, musical journalist Dmitriy Vasilyev, the man behind Monochrome Vision label and Independent Electronic Music zines & podcasting series, has published a big encyclopedia of the Italian experimental music "Viva Italia". The book tells about the artists and labels appeared in Italy during the recent 60 years and comes with a 4-CD compilation with the exclusive pieces by many Iitalian artists, provided specially for this project and never released before. More info about this project is here - http://vivaitalia.xyz. We're now taking pre-orders for this book among our Russian audience. The price is €100 (without postage) and the books will arrive here in mid-August. The book is written in Russian language, but if you still would like to purchase this unique edition, just drop us a line!
