I. NEW ITEMS IN MAILORDER CATALOGUE

CD-R/CD

... -- "No" -- CD-R -- €6
2008 Valgriind 07, (ltd. 50)
Philosophical noise, sonic manifestation of the ideas of the school of Madhyamak-Prasangik. Most of the material is comprised of cover-versions of the tracks by YAO 91404 D and Merzbow, performed live without audience, plus something else. Handmade artwork (collage, paper envelope, cardboard with a hand-pront and inserts). [label info] Three long tracks. First sounds like this: background accidental music (from radio or TV), someone howls monotonously and melancholically, and either rhythmically or spontaneously taps on a metal bucket. A couple of times all this is interrupted by fragments of a lecture on eastern philosophy. Second track starts with the sounds of house cleaning, then radionoise appears with a looped voice phrase, again metal clinks, then comes amateur non-harmonic guitarplaying and other absurd sounds. The third track is conceptually the same: jingles, knockings, farting noise, looped phrases, verses and accidental sounds.

... -- "What is?" -- CD-R -- €6
2008 self-released
Music, composed by some people (?), performed by other people, distorted by the thirds and reproduced by the fourths along with reading of concrete texts of the thirds. All this is packed into various media with carry some sort of the same material. The autorsphip of this work (or non-work) cannot be determined, and this is reflected in the "title" of the "project". For especially gifted people. Each copy has unique handmade package. [from the publisher] Recordings played back from gramophone records (melodies, speeches, morning exercises, etc.) and fixed by a microphone. First three tracks feature female voice, which reads prose and poems in Russian over the top of them. Other two tracks also contain everyday sounds caugth by a microphone: various rustlings, voices, etc. Musique concrete of a Soviet communal flat.

Abdulla -- "Yesterday a simple akyn, today a marksman" -- CD-RW -- €5
2008 Hlobkorobrecords, (ltd. 10)
New name on Hlobkorob! Russophobic embittered power electronics - a straight challenge to Russians. "Zvoe zlo russkay nazlo" ("Evillish evil Russian to spite") - sounds a heart-rending recitative! [label info]

Aganezz Uebkosyan -- "Fuckery, Russophobia, Power, Toby Dammit" -- CD-RW -- €5
2008 Hlobkorobrecords, (ltd. 10)
Some tracks on this album Aganezz performed onto the poems of Robert Rozhdestvensky. Power, as always, utterly russophobic. And Toby Dammit - isn't he an idol? [label info]

Baghiri, Amir -- "Exosphere" -- CD-R -- €12
2005 Blue Box, BB001
A mixture of masterful, spooky alien soundscapes and fluid textures by one of ambient music premier electro-tribal sound designers. "Exophere" offers ten tracks making up 68 minutes of music continuing the fine tradition of space & tribal ambient which Baghiri is known for. The album starts off quiet but after a few minutes a slow and later on accelerating and prominent sequence shows up which is reminiscent of the extended track "In the Heat of Venus" on Steve Roach’s album "Western Spaces". [label info]

Baghiri, Amir -- "Planet X" -- CD-R -- €12
2006 Blue Box, BB002
Inspired by the exotic astrophysical phenomena of the 10th planet. An in-depth ambient turmoil of 76 minutes, blending deep soundscapes with sequenced pieces (in Amir’s words: "multidimensional ambient & groove creation") and environmental sounds. A certain touch of Steve Roach’s music still can’t be missed, but again Amir shows he’s has found his way in the genre by exploring his own musical pathways over the years. In a way it’s a pleasant dream flight with some more active passages, but in no way background music. This highly atmospheric and well produced recording certainly deserves both thumbs up. [label info]

Bardo + Neznamo -- "Matra" -- CD-R -- €7
2008 Moonsun Productions, MS003, (ltd. 111)
It's a collaborative creation of teo Russian musicians from Moscow: Sergei Gabbasov (BARDO) and Dmitry Shilov (NEZNAMO).

The rite for unity with Divine Mother, performed in ritual / dark / organic ambient. Limited to 111 copies, painted CD-r, handmade layout: cardboard, mosaic gold. [label info]

New album from a hot hacho Gul. Wall of chabandance! For the lovers of Azerbaijan discoteka. [label info]

Bek Gul -- "Pastoral During Apocalypse" -- CD-RW -- €5
2008 Hlobkorobrecords, (ltd. 10)
In a veiled form Bek praises his native Azerbaijan the accompaniment of nordic modern-martial noise. Here's no place for traditional chabandance - the work is cold and serious. This is the reason why one of the best tracks in album is called "Warriors of Islam - Bek Gul is with you!". [label info]

Bek Gul / Aganezz Uebkosyan -- "SPLITh(7)" -- CD-RW -- €3.50
2008 Hlobkorobrecords, (ltd. 10)
Two tracks - two opposites. Bek is traditional wall of chabandance. Aganezz - monotonous power larded with radionoise. Elerimde Chekiler! [label info]

Beta Two Agonist -- "Autumn Perdue" -- CD-R -- €12
2008 Databloem
When I received Beta Two Agonist’s demo some years ago, I knew from the first notes I was dealing with a talented artist. A year later Beta Two Agonist’s debut album on Databloem Zero Point Field saw the light, a delightful mix of minimal glitchy atmosphere’s and soft rhythms. Yet, I felt Ian Lizandra’s best was yet to come… …Well, here it is: Autumn Perdue, a consistently brilliant set of rhythmic and melodic glitch ambient. Unlike other releases in this genre, Autumn Perdue gives you the feeling it’s played life with real instruments. Actually Ian does use acoustic instruments such vibraphone and piano, which gives it all a more organic and personal touch. Another strong point is the transparent, perfectly balanced production. If you like contemporary glitch ambient ala Off The Sky, Murcof or Shuttle 358 you shouldn’t miss this one. [label info]

Boys Next Planet -- "Animal Funny" -- CD-R -- €6
2007 Emerson Lake And Headche

Corder, Jason & Beta Two Agonist -- "Further To Find Closer" -- CD-R -- €12
2008 Databloem
Two of the most promising names in contemporary electronic music join up for a journey through electro acoustic ambient with a glitch. This collaboration grew from a collection of musical fragments exchanged between November 2007 and February 2008. These fragments evolved into nine movements seamlessly fused and blended into a morphing cloud of texture. The sounds used were recorded from acoustic/analog instruments and then processed or left untouched. Jason Corder & Beta Two Agonist: vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, windchimes, prayer bowls, electric piano, guitar, field recording, effects and processing. [label info]

Crank Sturgeon & ID M Theftable -- "03.03.03. Half Beasts, Just You And I" -- CD-R -- €6

Cyber Baphomet -- "Directory "Human" Delete" -- CD -- €10

Do Shaska! -- "Anaemische Taenze" -- CD -- €15
2005 Galerie Gryf Records, (ltd. 300)
Anaemic Dances is a new album by anonymous and mysterious desert nomads (metaphorically). Compared to their previous albums, this one is even more rhythmical, mystical, ritual, basic, and eerie. Drums & loops & subliminal sequences unleash dark beast hidden in the depths of the mind; frantic bassoonist just adds to the abysmal depths of their music. This release is accompanied with an exceptional booklet. [press-release] Limited edition packed in a cardboard box.

Generic -- "Torture" -- CD -- €10
2008 FracturedSpacesRecords, FS0208CD, (ltd. 1000)
Genre: Creepily atmospheric dark ambient. For its second release, FracturedSpacesRecords couldn't have chosen a better one: Generic's "Torture", a long and deeply unsettling journey into the beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered psyche, of mankind. Created using 'foley tracks' and sound effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting, nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead the forehead and shivers to wrack the body. Six mid to long tracks of bleak mindscapes totalling just over 50 minutes and wrapped in beautiful full colour digipak with artwork by new German digital artist Thamus. Generic is Adam Sykes and is based in the United Kingdom's West Country. He also records as Ritual Summertime and ran the Iris Light label, releasing artists of the calibre of Aube, Band of Pain, Crackletone, Dense Vision Shrine, and Front 242. [press-release]

Heiliges Licht + ZR 19.84 -- "Empor Die Herzen - A Tribute to St. Michael" -- CD-R -- €8
2008 UFA Muzak, UFA25, (ltd. 181)
Neo Folk/Martial Industrial. Burnt bridges, hands in bloody water, eyes dropped, you can't lift the redden sleeves, amidst the burning land, bloody stains between us, holy spirits in iron betrothal of the unfading field: by weapon - by cruelty - by authority. Mystic folk, ecstatic martial and insane industrial have been crossed in this personified act of Germany and Italy. Non-official modernist calling and resume for the Christian figure of St. Michael. Post-historical approach to the timeless survey inside the military heroic tradition that survived over hundreds and thousands of years... The dragon should be killed, whatever it may cost! A beautiful example of European underground music + melodic and industrial anti-contemporary art. Free people against the World Order! The great tradition - the great path! The successors of pure art! 10 tracks, 52 minutes, CD-r, 6 panel sleeve, full-colour print. [label info]

Keplers Odd -- "Strena Seu De Nive Sexangula (A New Year's Gift Of Hexagonal Snow)" -- CD -- €10
2008 FracturedSpacesRecords, FS0108CD, (ltd. 1000)
Genre: Guitar-based noise drone ambient. From the darkest and coldest heart of Sweden comes the trio known as Keplers Odd, and FracturedSpacesRecords is pleased to announce that "Strena Seu de Nive Sexangula", their third CD album, is the first official release on the UK's newest quality underground music label. Featuring seven tracks of noisy yet subtly ambient guitar-driven sonic attacks, eerily redolent of the icy cold mysterious aurora-wrapped landscapes prevalent throughout Northern Europe, inhabited by creatures and monsters spawned from the myths & legends told around campfires over countless generations. Indeed, Keplers Odd have themselves spawned a monster of an album, creating textures and ambiences far beyond the normal run of over-driven guitar noisefests - yes, there is unalloyed power here, but there is also quiet subtlety, sinister atmospherics, and deeply dark occult moods. Ancient abandoned buildings, dark musty corridors, sinister forces at play - it's all here in stonking quantities!! KEPLERS ODD are: Daniel Jansson (Deadwood, STUG 218 & Crest 218 [Crest & STUG 218 collaborative project]), Magnus Moilala (Crest & Crest 218 [Crest & STUG 218 collaborative project]), and Kristina Persson (Viper Trail). Currently they are to be seen rampaging around Gothenburg, Sweden. [press-release]

Osman Arabi -- "Burning Sigils" -- CD -- €10
2008 FracturedSpacesRecords, FS0308CD, (ltd. 1000)
Genre: Hypnotic dark ethno-ambient. The third release on FracturedSpacesRecords is Osman Arabi's "Burning Sigils", a single 38-minute track of deeply hypnotic ethno-ambience tinged with a cold darkness; a forgotten text written in the blood of generations, a story of long-buried secrets and civilisations that worshipped dark gods in the hidden kingdoms, lost to time and memory, becoming covered by both sand and the unforgiving ravages of time. This languid and hip-swayingly sinister piece builds slowly, unfolding its narrative unhurriedly, in the same way that the ages-old deserts themselves have been around forever, in the process resurrecting the shades of aeons-dead peoples and blowing cold winds across the heat-ridden sandy wastes. Delve with us into the black heart of a now-vanished civilisation and visit the incense-filled temples of the gods of the arid places. OSMAN ARABI is better known as the driving force behind the raw, acid- and hate-filled harsh electronics onslaught outfit 20.SV, and also the ritual ambient project SEEKER. This release sees Arabi tread a new path, creating textures and sonic narratives inspired by the environment and troubled history of his own childhood, a reflection perhaps of the troubled history of his homeland. [press-release]

New work of this Russian project brings you back to beginning of the 20th century, the age of Italian futuristic movement. The project develops it's non-standard collage technique: fragments of retro-songs, arrant industrial sounds, wild noise cut-ups and martial tunes may caper in feverous gallop through the one track. Don't take this music seriously, otherwise you take a risk to catch mental derangement. This is the 2nd edition of this work with a bonus-track, packed in a sort of small book with a hard cover.

Sgnl_fltr -- "Exhalo" -- CD-R -- €12
2008 Databloem, DBCD 08020
Danny Kreutzfeldt is a versatile and praised artist, who has been doing a lot of styles under various names for years, and certainly shouldn’t be a new name to people familiar with Databloem. Exhalo is his third album as Sgnl_fltr on Databloem and as with the others, it’s packed with deep grooves, dense atmospheres and refined effects. This time around, the amount of genres mixed together is staggering, with warm ambient, cold techno, abstract electronica and gritty soundscapes seamlessly flowing together during the course of the album. [label info]

Sol Invictus -- "Lex Talionis" -- CD -- €10
1990/2008 Infinite Fog Productions, IF-03, (ltd. 1001)
A reissue of a legendary album of a legendary band! "Lex Talionis" was first issued in far 1990, and in 1993 reissued on a CD, being sold out for long time for now... This reissue is a collector's digipak version with the new artwork, 8-page booklet and a previously unreleased bonus track Black Easter (live). This is the 1st edition which contains all the lyrics for this album! With this release the world faced the true force of Sol Invictus' music, after that they were bound to become a part of the musical history. In this recording Tony Wakeford was aided by other legendary musicians: Ian Read, Denis Blackham, Karl Blake, Leithana, and even Richard "Dik" Evans (one of the founders of a pop-band U2). It's not necessary to speak about the music on this CD, we can only say that "Lex Talionis" is definitely the most industrial and rough album of Sol Invictus. This may be the best example of combining the acoustic guitar and melancholic vocals with heavy industrial rhythms and almost noisy elements. This edition is limited to 1001 copies, and probably not everyone will be lucky to get a copy. The following words are true concerning this masterpiece: "Everything that could be said about Lex Talionis has been said before you". "The world is full of gods and beasts, Some to serve and some to feast..." - T. Wakeford. [press-release]

Ultrapolyarnoe Vtorzhenie -- "Steel Formation (Stalnoe Stanovlenie)" -- CD-R -- 240 руб.
2008 UFA Muzak, UFA24, (ltd. 88)
Nordic Industrial/Combative Noise. There will be a day when some books will be burnt, and other rewritten. It will be a different language, of different people, not understandable for us, something completely non-verbal, related to the highest form of communication. When this language will sound, the mind will be silent, but the sense will come right into the heart. Noise is also a language, a different text, possible prototype or an echo, an attempt to transfer the knowledge to another level, to understand Thule. In ideological and musical ways the release of the new project from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, continues the line started by the first act - UFA01 ANTARKTIDA - the concentration of the Northern emanation: rough noisewaves, cryptographic industrial, technocratic power ambien. Morose voice of Kaleuche. 7 tracks, 64 minutes, CD-r, print on transparent paper, jewel DVD box. [label info]

Urauschwitz -- "Zirkuszerfall" -- CD -- €7
2008 self-released
The debut release of a new Russian exoteric project Urauschwitz, oriented towards the world around us. The world which is complicated, satiated with signs and littered by propaganda. And the author tries to overview this "Zirkuszerfall" ("circus of decay") without distortions through the distorting mirror, and this is done with a good portion of black humour. The manner of soundwork of Urauschwitz can be compared to German project Turbund Sturmwerk. The artwork of this release should be particularly mentioned: it's done in vein of industrial constructivism of the artist Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (although some parallels with Turbund Sturmwerk can be found here too), but with a bit of "contamination" of sunny Man-Engine by cabbalistic art. [from the publisher]

Vagranok -- "Voz.Dukh" -- CD-R -- €7
2008 Kerpg, KEPRGXV, (ltd. 27)
Industrial Noise.

Parallels and unity of the industrial and archaic "ages". Invariable symbols. The change of form and vector. By the force of unified coarse black-red images of raw old school multy-layered radionoises, distorted Soviet records, sampled and live voices, drums and feedbacks. Implications and contexts. Mysticism of place of thought and differently incarnated content. Full-colour sleeve, ink, print on a cd, black paint. [label info]

Vishuddha Kali -- "Prem Genocide" -- CD -- €10
2002 Ultra Ways 01, (ltd. 300)
The first album of the one-man project from St. Petersburg. Vishuddha Kali is the art of destruction, musical project, consisting of sounds produced by man's mouth only. All the sounds on the given album are only vocal sounds of different trends of breath & speeches, forwarded through a lot of processing & distorters, but still they are the sounds of the voice only. Creative work of Vishuddha Kali is devoted to total genocide that takes place in human society. It's dedicated to humanity's striving for self-liquidation & destruction. Every track is devoted to one of the stages of this destruction. All the texts being gathered together are a small letter addressed to the man, who realizes its place in the nature, who realizes himself as a small not-separated particle of the surprising manifestation of this life. CD comes in oversized foldout cover sealed with a black wax & includes 2 postcards. [label info].
