Autumn is the harvest time and we also have finally a couple of releases ready for picking up! MODELBAU "Ypsilon" – a project of the well-known Dutch musician and journalist Frans de Waard, two long pieces of ultra-minimalistic sonic fields and abstract meditative vibrations. Available on cassettes, discs and digitally.
The release is dedicated to the memory of the untimely departed music journalist and publisher Dmitry Vasilyev (Independent Electronic Music, Monochrome Vision, Alone At Last). Besides, Frans de Waard has also compiled a great tribute to Dmitry on his own label Korm Digitaal. It's free to download on the label's bandcamp page: https://kormdigitaal.bandcamp.com/album/monochrome-visions-for-dmitry-vasilyev.
The second release is THEODOR BASTARD "BossaNova_Trip" – a reissue of one of the early works by Fedor Svolotch, recorded in 2002, long time before the formation of the band's current line-up and musical style. Ascetic electronic minimalism, mathematic poetry and music of digital glitches. A joint edition by Fulldozer Records and ZHELEZOBETON Distribution Division.
This time we got not so many additions to our mailordr catalogue, but there's still something: mysterious 3" CDRs from the Canadian label CEIL, hot Finnish stuff from Umpio & Co., new EP by Majdanek Waltz, an album by Ilia Belorukov, a tape by Mykoriza (Lunar Abyss side-project), some recent releases by the Russian labels Aquarellist / Dark Jazz Records, Pantheon and MIC Label.
Worth mentioning is also the special offer on the collector's edition of SIYANIE (Vresnit + Neznamo) albums. Now you can order these releases at reduced prices: "Homo Multidimensional" CD (with 15 additional cards printed on silver cardboard, all packed in an envelope) – €15; "Mystery Of Life" CD (with 17 additional A5 cards printed on silver cardboard, all packed in an envelope) – €17. The bundle of both editions will cost €25.
Like always, order by e-mail mm@radionoise.ru or zhelezobeton@inbox.ru. Reservations are possible for a reasonable period.

Today we have a special reason for the melomaniac joy – the first vinyl release! Yes, we had one record on ZHELEZOBETON before, but that was a 7" lathe-cut on polycarbonate (ZHB-LXIX), and now we have a real factory-printed 12"EP with the reissue of the last year's Vetrophonia "Russian Universal Robots" tape, prepared together with the new Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's label Ultrasomnambula U. The edition is only 100 copies, so we recommend to hurry until it's sold out!
The mailorder update features new releases from Wrotycz Records (Poland), Wachsender Prozess (Germany), Drone Records (Germany), Volok Records (Ukraine), and some editions of the Russian labels: new CD by Exit In Grey (Frozen Light), double-CD reissue of the classic Muslimgauze album "Vote Hesbollah" (Aquarellist), new tape by Pustota (BioSonar^Lo-End), and a couple of releases from the St. Peterburg's underground label [electrotapes archive].
