III. New items in mailorder catalogue


CD-R/CD

Arcana -- "As Bright As A Thousand Suns" -- CD -- €14
2012 Cyclic Law, 49th Cycle, (ltd. 2000)
Four years after the release of their last full length album "Raspail", and following their "Emerald" EP released earlier this year, ARCANA now offers us brand new material on their 7th full lenght album. As accustomed from this legendary act we are graced with Peter Bjargo’s solemn voice echoing through the blend of strings, guitars, piano and a variety of percussion instruments. Ann-Mari Thim’s beautiful, picturesque soprano floats through the air together with Nuria Luis’ emotional violin and Cecilia Bjargo’s soft, mellow alto blends in with Mattias Borgh’s and Sergio Gamez Martinez’ percussive rhythms. As Bright as a Thousand Suns is a sincere and sapience filled opus from a mature collective, ten diverse songs of thoughts and emotions on one album of pure splendour. Edition of 2000 copies in 6 panel Digipack. [press-release]

Baradelan –- "Infrasonic Cathedral" -- CD -- €8
2006 L. White Records, LW-035, (ltd. 300)
New album from BARADELAN, 9 intelligent dark ambient tracks, infrasonic sounds, dark frequencies and psychoacoustic elements. [label info]
[mp3]   [mp3]

Baradelan / Dawn Project –- split -- CD-R + DVD-R -- €10
2003 L. White Records, LW-024, (ltd. 200)
Unfortunately for most Americans, this comes with a seperate PAL DVD, which does nothing but jack the price up. But, by the same token, maybe the music is worth it all. For it is one of the better dark ambient albums I've encountered recently. Heavy, claustrophic yet expansive sounds, rich and layered, pulsing and droning in crushing, cataclysmic waves. Beautiful in it's power and the dark energy it exudes, not all that dissimilar to Inade in parts. Excellent. In DVD packaging, lmtd 200 copies. [Malignant Records]

Biosphere -- "N-Plants" -- CD -- €12
2011 Touch, TO:84
Geir Jenssen writes: "Early February 2011: Decided to make an album inspired by the Japanese post-war economic miracle. While searching for more information I found an old photo of the Mihama nuclear plant. The fact that this futuristic-looking plant was situated in such a beautiful spot so close to the sea made me curious. Are they safe when it comes to earthquakes and tsunamis? Further reading revealed that many of these plants are situated in earthquake-prone areas, some of them are even located next to shores that had been hit in the past by tsunamis... A photo of Mihama made me narrow down my focus only to Japanese nuclear plants. I wanted to make a soundtrack to some of them, concentrating on the architecture, design and localizations, but also questioning the potential radiation danger (a cooling system being destroyed by a landslide or earthquake, etc). As the head of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said: "the plants were so well designed that 'such a situation is practically impossible'... The album was finished on February 13th. On March 17th I received the following message from a Facebook friend: 'Geir, some time ago you asked people for a photo of a Japanese nuclear powerplant. Is this going to be the sleeve of your new coming album? But more importantly: how did you actually predict the future? Kind regards, David.'" [press-release]

Biosphere -- "Wireless - Live at the Arnolfini, Bristol" -- CD -- €12
2009 Touch, Tone 38
Recorded live at The Arnolfini, Bristol, 27th October 2007 by the doyen of sound recordists, Chris Watson, using 2 x Sony ECM 77s with a Nagra P11 Ares flash card recorder, and from desk to hard drive. The recording was mixed, edited and mastered by Touch stalwart BJNilsen, in Berlin during March 2009. This concert was part of Touch 25 Live, which also featured a performance of Storm [by Chris Watson & BJNilsen]. Biosphere is Norwegian composer and performer Geir Jenssen, and this is his sixth release for Touch. In the early 1990s he was a pioneer of so-called “ambient techno”, but since then, he has refined his sound into something more magnetic and enduring. His last album, Dropsonde, wasn't a soundtrack like the interwoven Substrata, nor an episodic journey in the way that Autour de la Lune is. It pushed new directions towards the jazz colors of Miles Davis and Jon Hassell, while re-invigorating the pulse and projection of his signature sound: a hypnotic combination of pleasure and dread. Here Geir Jenssen takes this further, incorporating samples of field recordings by Jony Easterby and trumpet by Anders Karlskеs, invoking a sparser, more arresting sound. A landmark release for Biosphere, his first live album, heralding new beginnings without jettisoning the past… [press-release]

2002 L. White Records, LW-002, (ltd. 500)

Dead Voices On Air -- "Mawson’s Will And Other Stories" -- CD -- €12
2012 Ewers Tonkunst, HHE 034 CD
The album is named after a track that Spybey worked on with Robert Hampson of Loop and Main as part of the twentieth anniversary series of 7 inch singles, that has thus far featured collaborations with Simon Fisher-Turner, Edward Ka-spel and Robin Storey. Douglas Mawson was a famous polar explorer and this 12 minute collaboration with Robert became a focal point for this album. The tracks could perhaps be described as musical narratives, each named after a place or an event or a person that has attracted Spybey’s attention. Some are more obvious than others, “Kursk,” for example being about the Russian submarine disaster. But, ironically, in the world of Dead Voices on Air, concepts limit creativity. The studio is a place of invention, with the starting point being the creation of a sound. Ideas are never written down. When Spybey works he becomes engrosssed in the act of making music and in editing it. The studio and everything within it is utilized in the act of creating music. Spybey does not try to create music that is descriptive or literal. For him, the gift of music is in the eye and ear of the listener. The more he makes music, the longer this impossible career progresses, the less he feels like talking about music. He simply makes music. All of the time. The album also features a cameo appearance by Robin Storey and by Utah keyboard player Lori Cole, who has contributed several pieces that Spybey has reworked in the past year. [press-release]

Derniere Volonte -- "Mon Meilleur Ennemi" -- CD -- €13
2012 Hau Ruck!, HR105
After 2 years of silence Geoffroy is back with 12 new songs. Inspired by is own introspection, to fight and love his best ennemy. Some songs are taken from French poesie (Verlaine, Theophile Gauthier...). The sound is a mix from Devant le Miroir and Immortel in a more powerfull area. [label info]

Desiderii Marginis -- "Procession" -- CD -- €14
2012 Cyclic Law, 48th Cycle, (ltd. 1000)
"Procession" heralds the reawakening of the acclaimed swedish dark ambient project Desiderii Marginis, an album that sounds at the same time warmingly familiar and inspiringly new. While Desiderii Marginis is perhaps not as prolific as some other acts, it's "quality over quantity" motto always makes it well worth the wait and this is certainly no exception. The eight pieces that make up this new album stand firmly on their own, and yet form an even more remarkable whole. Johan Levin envokes a grand soundscape, beneath the faded remnants of the celestial spheres where timbres have space to grow, evolve and reflect off each other, a sombre, melancholic thoughtfullness, a calm to dwell in, and long back to. The atmosphere of the album is not that of solid darkness, or an abyss opening beneath you, but rather a wintery pale, grey dusk casting long, sweeping shadows. A haze that makes you uncertain if it’s really getting lighter or darker. We're honored to welcome Johan Levin's long standing project to the ever expanding Cyclic Law family. Edition of 1000 copies in 6 panel Digipack. [press-release]

Fennesz -- "plus forty seven degrees 56' 37" minus sixteen degrees 51' 08"" -- CD -- €12
1999/2008 Touch, TO:40
Touch has reissued a digipak version of Fennesz's first studio album for Touch, previously released as a jewel case in 1999. [There was prior to that a deluxe edition of 1000 copies in landscape art format, which sold out immediately.] It has been out of print for a couple of years. The audio remains the same, the imagery uses the location shots from the deluxe edition. This is Christian Fennesz's 2nd solo full album after the highly acclaimed 'Hotel Paral.lel' (Mego 16). He also released 'fenneszPLAYS', a 3" CD originally issued by Mego but now on Jim O'Rourke's new label, Moikai. Fennesz has also made various contributions to compilation CDs, including the awesome 'Surf' on 'DECAY' (Ash International 3.9) and is a member of MIMEO, fixed line up orchestra alongside Keith Rowe, Kaffe Matthews, Jerome Noetinger, Phil Durrant, Peter Rehberg, Thomas Lehn, Rafael Toral, Gert Jan Prins, Cor Fuhler, Markus Wettstein, and Markus Schmickler. He has also released a live CD on Touch, # TO:CDR3. 'plus forty seven degrees 56' 37" minus sixteen degrees 51' 08"' was recorded in his garden in Austria in July and August 1999; the photographs in the booklet by Jon Wozencroft embroider this. [press-release]

Fennesz -- "Seven Stars" -- CD EP -- €10
2011 Touch, Tone 44
Using acoustic and electric guitars, bass, synths, computers, Fennesz continues to engage and entrance us in equal measure. Fennesz says: "My friend Steven Hess, with whom I have worked before, happened to be in Vienna at the time of the sessions, so I invited him to join me in the studio. Christoph Amann recorded the drums using a selection of his great microphones including his amazing new Josephson. I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track. This might be something I will continue with in the future."I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track. This might be something I will continue with in the future." [label info]

Fennesz / Sakamoto -- "Flumina" -- 2 CD -- €15
2011 Touch, Tone 46
The 24 pieces of 'flumina' are based on piano compositions/improvisations which Ryuichi Sakamoto had recorded whilst touring in Japan. On that tour Ryuichi played a piano piece in a different key at the beginning of every show, always having a 'fennesz sakomoto' project in mind. After 24 shows he had 24 tracks in 24 different keys, covering all 24 tonal steps of the western tonal system. Sakamoto sent the tracks over to Christian Fennesz and he worked on them using electronics, guitars and synths. They met in New York then and mixed the album together with Fernando Aponte at KAB Studios. This is their 3rd collaboration released on Touch, after the live recording of 'Sala Santa Cecilia' [Touch # Tone 22, 2005] and 'Cendre' [Touch # Tone 32, 2007]. [press-release]

Genocide Organ -- "s/t" -- CD -- €13
2003/2012 Tesco Organisation, TESCO 050
Released for the 1st live appareance of GO in Japan in 2003, using material recorded between 1985-1990, this album was originally intended for release in 1990 in Japan as Genocide Organ's 2nd LP and is somehow the missing link between "Leichenlinie" and "Save our Slaves". This re-release contains 3 extra tracks taken from the acetate 7"s released in Japan in 1991/1992. The complete material is remastered by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol) and comes in a digipack with different artwork. [label info]

Guilty Connector –- "Mother's Bloated Corpse" -- CD -- €10
2003/2008 Utsu Tapes, UT-25
2nd edition of this 2003 album from extreme Japanese Noiser Guilty Connector. This album collects together the best tracks from various compilations and small run releases, as well as unreleased material from this multi-dimensional Japanese artist. Harsh noise, metal junk, collage and experimental sound recordings. A must for fans of GxCx and a perfect start for new fans too! J-card sleeve. [Cold Spring]

Ikeda, Ryoji -- "Matrix" -- 2 CD -- €14
2001/2008 Touch, TO:44
Double CD in gatefold wallet. 2008 second edition, without postcards. Matrix is the final element in a trilogy of CDs that began with +/- in 1996. When it was first released, +/- came like a bolt out of the white. Nobody had used digital recording processes to produce sound as pure, as intense and as exhilarating. Since releasing 0°C in 1998, Ryoji Ikeda has progressively refined and enhanced the distinctive sonic fields and microsounds that have strongly influenced post-digital composition, resisting the transitory cycle suggested by the term 'Glitches', creating compositions that probe deeply: our relationships to time and space, sound and light. Much of the time since 1998 has been spent touring with the Japanese performance group, Dumb Type, whose landmark show [OR] is shortly to be followed by a new presentation for which Ikeda has composed the sound, Memorandum. In January 2000, Ryoji Ikeda toured the UK with Zoviet*France. A closer connection to the 20 new recordings that make up Matrix can be found on the recent Touch 00 sampler, Matrix for an Anechoic Room, which came out in Spring 2000. That's the only forewarning of what awaits you on putting the first CD into your player. The layers of sound that make up Matrix [for rooms] transform both the listener and the listening environment into another dimension. The dimensions change as you move about the space, or simply turn your head around the sound like surveying the angles of a building. Matrix has much in common with the work of La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, Alvin Lucier..., but poised closer to the imminent and auto-interactive virtual world we are promised, Ryoji Ikeda's new work pushes the parameters of the drone to ask timely questions concerning our relationship to own perception, and to our existing living spaces.

The Infant Cycle / ARC -- "Periodical II" -- 3"CD-R -- €6
2006 The Ceiling, CEIL030, (ltd. 80)
A series of mini-CDR split-releases between The Infant Cycle and other artists operating in the underground world of Southern Ontario. THE INFANT CYCLE has been in operation since 1992, producing numerous CDRs, CDs, vinyl, cassette and MP3 releases, alongside many compilation appearances for labels all over the planet. The Infant Cycle creates eccentric sound-worlds from disparate strands of instrumental phrases, field recordings, and everything in between; composition mixing with improvisation, influenced by happy accidents and technical failures. The piece contained is a mixing of previously recorded tracks, rethinking the past and foreshadowing future releases. ARC is a Toronto group comprising Aidan Baker, Richard Baker and Christopher Kukiel, and in the past few years have created numerous evocative soundscapes flowing from the rudiments of percussion and guitar. Most of their music is created live in real time: discreet elements are introduced in loops, guitar cascades meshing with gradually shifting polyrhythms. Their "side" is an early take of material recorded live, that was later worked on in the studio for their "The Circle Is Not Round" CD on Italy's Small Voices label. [label info]

KK Null -- "Fertile" -- CD -- €12
2007 Touch, TO:74
KK NULL (real name KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in Tokyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of ZENI GEVA and electronic wizard. One of the top names in Japanese noise music and in a wider context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80's... Kazuyuki writes: "In June of 2006 i had the good fortune of visiting Darwin in the Northern Territory in Australia and explored in Kakadu National Park with some good friends. I took my digital recorder along with me and did some live field recordings there. First we encountered a flock of wild birds (Little Corella or Cacatua Pastinator) just beside the South Alligator River, and then we happened to find "bush fire" flaring just beside the road we were on. I also had a unique opportunity to record a magnificent symphony orchestra of insects, frogs and birds in wetlands just before sunset. At that time i had no idea or no specific purpose for using these field recordings, and in the middle of working on this album [Fertile] in my home studio, suddenly came up with the idea of mixing these field recordings into some of the tracks that were unfinished. I felt comfortable with layering & mixing different sounds from different locations and times, digital and analogue sounds into one piece. I like also the balance of spontaneity (field recording) and intentional act (studio recording)." [press-release]

Koner, Thomas -- "Novaya Zemlya" -- CD -- €12
2012 Touch, TO:85
The artwork, by Jon Wozencroft, includes an essay by Thierry Charollais, "Thomas Köner's Novaya Zemlya: towards a metaphysical geography"... "Of course we find the unique Koneresque glowing drones that we know from his previous works. But we will also be touched by an unrevealed, barely perceptible sense of melody and harmony that Köner gradually developed since Kaamos (1998) and Nuuk (2004)..." Novaya Zemlya, also known in Dutch as Nova Zembla and in Norwegian as Gеselandet (lit. the Goose Land), is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean in the north of Russia and the extreme northeast of Europe, the easternmost point of Europe, lying at Cape Flissingsky on the northern island.

Objekt4 –- "Shades Of Night" -- CD -- €11
2007 Regimental Records, REG054 / Sabbathid Records, hoof021 / Basilisk Productions, BP-028 / Bugs Crawling Out Of People, bcp004
Objekt4 was formed in 2003 by Sweden's Anders Peterson with the aim of expanding cinematic sound design into music, by creating hybrids with field recordings and musical instruments/approaches. The objective was to create musical ambiance rather than ambient music. Shades of Night is Objekt4's 6th full length release. Objekt4 expands on his early albums with a hybrid approach between various nocturnal ambience, brilliantly combining unique sounds into something that transcends the individual noise. Field recordings of the night blend with musical instruments, analogue feedback, and distant voices. The world of Objekt4 combines the crackling of a small distant fire in light rain with the singing of night birds, a far off lighthouse foghorn intertwines with the chaos of an insect swarm. Electric guitar, gongs, plate bells, crotales, and a 12-string acoustic guitar all seep out of the darkness to add their contribution. That objekt4 can amass these separate sources and construct them into a perfectly blended atmospheric piece is where the beauty and mystery of Shades of Night comes out of the void and reveals itself in all its glory. 4 separate and unique labels have joined together to deliver this release: Australia's Basilisk Productions, Canada's Bugs Crawling Out Of People, USA's Regimental Records and Japan's Sabbathid Records. [press-release]

Objekt4 –- "Space Jungle Slums" -- CD -- €11

Salt -- "Re.wasp" -- 3"CD BOX -- €15
2000 Ant-Zen, act 100, (ltd. 606)
No, no, no... Release 100 is not the typical various artists releasing one unreleased and / or remixed track compilation in a special package. Release 100 is to celebrate and to commemorate the label founder and master of martial ants - Salt himself. Rarely has a label and the people working behind it gained such success over the years without losing the spirit, the identity and the idealism searching for innovative sound artists and providing them with a platform to release their work - on the visual as well as on the audio side. The, of course, specially designed record features the long-awaited live performance from the Maschinenfest 1999 - slightly re-recorded but still a gem among the past releases from your favourite label. For those having missed the live performance - two longer tracks starting off with chilling drones based on various loops later interrupted by feedback, sound experiments and disturbing noises. Furthermore 'Re.wasp' features a set of postcards with 13 full-coloured motives with the concept as a whole to display the correspondence of colour and structure as well as sound and structure. Let's have a drink on another 100... ants up! [press-release]

Svarrogh -- "Yer Su" -- CD -- €10
2008 Ahnstern, Ahnstern34
"Yer Su" is the 5th full length bulgarian folklore avantgarde doctrine and the 3rd release under the banner of the bearer of european heritage Ahnstern. Svarrogh (Dimo Dimov) presents here a very complex post folk experience, trully dedicated to the holy earth-water Yer Su from the mystic and ancient bulgarian pantheon of Tangra - nonetheless it also shows the symbiotic allegiance to slavic mythology and european culture from the depths of the Pamir mountains and meadows through the slavic steppes up to the Balkan realms. Traditional bulgarian instruments like Gaida (bagpipe), Gadulka (balkan viola), Tamboura (big mandoline), Kaval (balkan shepherd flute), Ocarina, Clarinet, vocals in bulgarian, italian, english, lithuanian, Guitars and Drums arranged to a balkan post folk and avantgarde dark folk adventure with ambient drones, elements of Industrial & Black Metal and traditional compositions. Feat. very special guests like Kostas (Defile des Ames), Marcel P. (Allerseelen), Valentina (Der Feuerkreiner), Michael Z. (Negura Bunget) and Gyte Tamosiunate. All songs lead eachother through the central theme with snowsteps interludes recorded on the Hochries Mountain in Upper Bavaria and with a ritual lithuanian evocation. An album for the sparkling water which flows through europe, an album for the warm black earth, which lays a quilt over the ones, who stand strong through the fall of time, seen by the silvery eyes of the sky Tangra. Wake up sky - wake up stone - wake up earth - wake up water! I will be sky then - I will be stone then - I will be earth then - I will be water then! The album comes in a Digipack with 12 pages booklet, designed by the bulgarian photographer and artist Kaate Haate (Katia). [press-release]

Svarrogh / Defile Des Ames / Arnica -- "South European Folk Compendium" -- CD -- €10
2009 Ahnstern, Ahnstern37
This thriple-split CD is a unique compendium of South European folk music, inspired by Balkan, Catalan and Hellenic traditional culture. The sources and the stylistic devices of the three artists are quite different and descending from three different cultural regions, but there is just one intention and one deep mythological spirit, that unites the musicians to build up an axis through the mediterranean sunlit landscapes. On this album you will drown into the ritual, Alpine-Folk shamanism of Arnica, using a wide range of traditional instruments and the spirit of Catalunya - Svarrogh drags you to the deep and dark forests of Bulgaria by slavic chants, where you will meet the god Veles in his wooden shrine - and you will waft through a droning and apocalyptic haze to the powerful and emotional hellenic spheres of Defile des Ames from Greece. - 10 songs / 60 min.

Churylin, and played by Nick Sudnick and co on self-made string & percussion instruments created on the base of wash-boards: dzirute-vangale, shulamiha, otshturkha, yurmanka and smargachka. Nick Sudnick writes: "Combining the poetry of futurists with music we kept in mind the spirit and letter of futuristic manifests, calling for rejection of everything academical. That's why we used self-made sonic constructions in forms of wash-boards as musical instruments. Our task was not just arrange the poems with music, but to create the sonic environment which could be adequate to poetic ideas of futurists, as if the development of the new language and technologies in music in that time could happen as quick and radical as in poetry and fine arts." Despite the seeming sheer avantguardism, the album sounds quite integrally and musically, seamlessly melting experimental, contemporary classical and Russian folk music. The CD comes with an extensive booklet with poems in Russian and English languages, pictures of the instruments and a short essay "The Verbal Universe" by the translator of the poems.

Art Abscons -- "Les Sentiers Eternels" -- LP -- €17
2012 Fronte Nordico, AA III, (ltd. 150)
Fronte Nordico is happy to present its second release from Art Abscons, one of its most favourite current neofolk projects. «Les Sentiers Eternels» is a brand new album including 10 tracks finished and mixed in early 2012. This work took about one and a half years in the making and shows further development both in technical refinement and the creative side of the project. The genre borders of neofolk are broken and we see here a varied mix of many style elements – from pure dark folk guitar ballads to more eclectic conceptual tracks close to something which could be defined as kraut-rockish psychedelic industrial, from electro-pop / minimal wave tunes to harsher and more aggressive pieces. The album was produced according to an innovative recording technique called «Stereo Spektral Sunrise» and is the first album to feature the SPEKTRALOPHONE, a sort of organic synthesizer developed by Art Abscon himself. «Les Sentiers Eternels» also brings Art Abscons' spiritual kinship with American neofolk project Gnomonclast to a new level and contains various noteworthy contributions from N2 ItinitI and Sasha Feline. This album is a kind of sounding universe strictly based on the principles of Abscons Magik and N2 ItinitI's cabalo-gnostic achievements, and, thus, includes any contradictions the real universe presents us with. There's everything here – Sun and Moon, Day and Night, Love and Hate, Joy and Grief, all act according to the hidden principles eternal, and this work is the most complex and intellectual to be found among Art Abscons albums until now – the literal and accurate revelation of the Hidden God – a pure excitement to the intelligent listener who is into occult matters! The cover artwork for the album was done by famous German artist Reiner Langer. Regular edition: embossed die-cut thick grey rough carton cover with full-colour picture in the centre, attached full colour 12" info sheet, transparent blue vinyl in an attached black special paper original Fronte Nordico cut-out inner sleeve.

Reutoff -- "ReuTRauM VII" -- 7" -- €15
2012 Fronte Nordico, HHE 030 V, (ltd. 50)
The very last release in the ReutRauM series of seven 7”es on seven different labels from seven different countries. This volume eventually made on Russian label is a black celebration of the fact that the metaphysics of Reutov is completely vanished away – the process of spiritual destruction gone too far and now metaphysical Reutov is drowned in the pink piggy world of modern consumerist buildings. It remains only in the memories of those witnessed its dark gloomy mysterious grandeur and in the sounds of this vinyl series - RIP! We believe that one day genius loci will make its revenge and all these shiny skyscrapers will be striked with decay so the true essence of this place will return to its throne. But we would never see it most probably. Regular edition: fold out cover made of designer pink paper with two photos attached on its front and back sides, rubber-stamped black ink logos, pink vinyl in thick black inner sleeve.

2012 Fronte Nordico, HHE 019 V, (ltd. 150)
Second vinyl release in Kreuzung series of collaboration between Reutoff and their musical friends. This time the brothers-in-arms were German drone ambient combo Troum. The basic sound sources and samples made by Reutoff especially for this release have been treated, arranged and mixed with an addition of their own instrumental parts by Troum. Dark profound harsh ambient with some occasional rhythmic patterns intertwined with transcendental prepared guitar loops and perfect drone noises - a perfect blend between two project distinctive features and creative manners. The concept of this work is based on cosmology of Hildegard von Bingen.

Atrium Carceri -- "Reliquiae" -- CD -- €13
2012 Cold Meat Industry, cmi212
Atrium Carceri - Reliquiae sends the listener careening through the dim mists of time immemorial. There are asylums, prison halls and dark corridors in the twisted nether where our current illusion was created by our former slaves - now transformed to cruel masters by the Council of Twelve. Through the citadels of the Lost God, Where the rejuvenation of the collective soul has become brainwashing of the endless hordes that await his return with bubbling glee. This journey is one not soon forgotten, as the churning cogs of the old city dig ever deeper into humanity's clandestine past. A sickly dull thud of stone on flesh is all that interrupts the ceaseless moanings and burrowings of the old city of our past glories. That and the incessant clamour of machines beyond count. The yearning for a way out of the illusion leads us to the top of the thousand steps of obsidian, where the processing plants never stop the injection of false hope to the masses of divided consciousness. A memory springs unbidden to my wandering mind: A black worm eats at the heart of the sun... Reliquiae is a syringe filled with the deepest of sounds, with details so carefully perfected and indeed profound that it will make you listen to the album again and again, falling deeper and deeper into the void of the awakened. Spanning 19 tracks this is one epic release that tells a tale revolving around the relics that are the basis of our enslavement. It truly must be heard to be fathomed. [press-release]

Biosphere -- "Dropsonde" -- CD -- €12
2006 Touch, TO:66CD
Widely regarded as one of Norwegian electronic music's most important artists, Biosphere's [Geir Jenssen] career spans nearly two decades, several albums, lots of remixes, various sound installations, commissions, soundtracks and even the odd Himalayan summit. You may recognise his work without knowing it, so frequently does it crop up on TV trailers and idents. In the early 1990s he was a pioneer of so-called 'Ambient Techno', but since then, he has refined his sound into something more magnetic and enduring. 'Dropsonde' isn't a soundtrack like the interwoven 'Substrata' nor an episodic journey in the way that 'Autour de la Lune' is. Here Geir Jenssen is pushing new directions towards the jazz colours of Miles Davis and Jon Hassell, whilst re-invigorating the pulse and projection of his signature sound: a hypnotic combination of pleasure and dread. [label info]

Biosphere -- "Substrata 2" -- 2 CD -- €15
2001 Touch, TO:50
First CD of this double album contains remastered version of "Substrata" previously released in 1997 by All Saint Records and considered by critics as one of the best electronic albums of 90ies. The second CD contains soundtrack to a silent movie "Man with a Movie Camera" (directed by Vertov, 1926, USSR), made for presentation on Tromso International Film Festival using Vertov's written instructions for musical accompaniment. Stylistically it's athmospheric ambient with sharp sound detalization, musical recitations and spoken samples. Besides this, the CD includes two rhythmical, almost danceable, bonus-tracks which have been previously released only on Japanese version of "Substrata".

Ierophania & Fanum -- "Escort Of Endless Summer" -- CD -- €11
2012 Radiodrone Records, RD-09, (ltd. 250)
The new chapter in the chronicle of the end of times. Ierophania (UFA Muzak, SkullLine) from Rostov-on-Don and Moscow based act Fanum (Valgriind, Radiodrone Rec.) gathered in order to convey their disturbing mystical revelation to us. Stepping “through the open reality” with them, you risk to gain the experience that is incompatible with your past life, to be in the midst of a tense battle between Madness and Faith. Here, on the border of physics and metaphysics, “the temple on the blood of Human” is dominates, from which we can hear snatches of spiritual songs, blending with the roar of infinity. The fragments that was ?ollected on the battlefields adds up to an apocalyptic picture. But the “Soldiers of prophecy” is coming closer, and the “heart inherit the eternity.” [press-release]

Ikeda, Ryoji -- "+/-" -- CD -- €12
1996/2011 Touch, TO:30
Ikeda's "+/-" is classics of minimalistic microwave music. Liner notes say: "+/- has a particular sonority whose quality is determined by one's listening point in relation to loudspeakers. Furthermore, the listener can experience a particular difference between speaker playback and headphone listening. The sound signals can be thought of in the same way as light is made spotlight. Lastly, a high frequency sound is used that the listener becomes aware of only upon it's disappearance." The album contains two works: "headphonics" with three mathematically precise rhythmic tracks and "+/-" itself with micromodulated frequency drawings.

The Infant Cycle / Antmanuv -- "Periodical III" -- 3"CD-R -- €5
2006 The Ceiling, CEIL031, (ltd. 80)
THE INFANT CYCLE presents more "Unrelated Work Tapes" - part of series of that is both deeply interconnected (to other parts and future and past Infant Cycle tracks), yet can be heard on their own. Like much of the Ceiling catalogue, what is seemingly chaos later reveals itself as something else, and features much of the Infant Cycle's uneasy balance between abrasive textures, and quiet meditation - a balance often on the verge of tipping over. Over the past few years, ANTMANUV has created a diverse body of work in many different mediums. On this release, he has contribued a piece of wholly organic sound, a dense and growing entity of everyday sounds propelled into a hypnotic sphere of the familiar moved into unfamiliar territory.

L'Homme Eternel is a collaboration project of two Russian musicians: Denis Shapovalov (Adriva, Sunchariot, Matter) and Alexander Selivanov (Mortart). The material was recorded within one evening of February 12th, 2008. Atmospheric and hypnotising ritual, which differs from their solo projects with its new mood and more bright sounding. [label info]

L'Homme Eternel -- "Maladie Orientale - Sessia" -- CD-R -- €4
2008 Observatiore 21, (ltd. 50)
L'Homme Eternel is a collaboration project of two Russian musicians: Denis Shapovalov (Adriva, Sunchariot, Matter) and Alexander Selivanov (Mortart). The second work of H.E. is made in the same vein, but more chaotic and surreal. It doesn't contain flowing tracks as before, but still has the mesmerizing ritualistic feeling. Like in the previous album here the most interesting think lies in live improvised sonorities. Sounds are like alive creatures from other dimensions inhabitating the surreal jungles, they frighten and surprise one's consciousness. In general, this is a rough and abrupt work. [label info]

Lens Cleaner Trio -- "C.D. + Lens Cleaner" -- LP -- €15
1999 The Ceiling, CEIL023, (ltd. 300)
The Lens Cleaner Trio hail from Argentina, a country that we have discovered has a great deal of unusual experimental musical emanating from within. This LP has its genesis in an improvised session conducted in 1999 by Jose Marchi (guitar), Marcelo Aguirre (drums). and C.D. (electronics). After the initial recordings, C.D. took the recordings and disassembled them, constructing new sound shapes from the various puzzle pieces. The results are what C.D. calls "electro-acoustic rock"; we have a hard time coming up with any type of descriptive term. Early tracks on side A are faithful to the original recordings; strange polymorphous jams featuring nimble but muscular drumming, and a large vocabulary of guitar scrapes and molten distortion, but soon we start to hear the tracks fold into themselves, the sense of time and space distorting as if some powerful psychotropic drug is starting to kick in. Emerging from these folds in space, the listener enters new locations; guitars that echo like chimes through radio static into places both soothing and menacing, organic and manufactured- a deeply ambient space, yet jagged as broken glass. Even if there are no easy classifications, "C.D. + Lens Cleaner" is a release that holds up to countless listenings, each play revealing something new and encouraging even more spins of the disc. Limited to 300 copies. [press-release]

Matter is a project of Russian musician Denis Shapovalov (Adriva, Sunchariot), in which he explores the possibilities of computer technologies.

The result is rather strange meeting of digital sound and raw primordial approach: monotonous noises, crackles, loops and complete obscurantism. An engaging release.

RemoteBand -- "Nofuture" -- bizcard CD-R -- €5
2007 Abgurd, AB-39, (ltd. 26)
REMOTEBAND is a Drone Ambient project now, though in 2004 Iudjin tried his skills as a Harsh Noise performer. His noise was really outbursting and mind-blowing but there are no recordings kept. Thus, we offer you a track which was supposed to be a part of our compilation and was excluded by some reasons — shame on us! So, now we want to prove us right— enjoy. [press-release]
[mp3]

RemoteBand -- "Pinche Madre" -- CD-R -- €8
2008 Abgurd, AB-36, (ltd. 100)
Moscow project with a short but rich history. The only person standing behind REMOTEBAND began his experiments with sound as REMOTE and created mindblowing Harsh Noise and some bizarre electroacoustics. In that short period there were some performances with Nikita Golyshev of CD-r. It's a pity but we think there is not a single chance to listen to any recordings from that period though those were really fascinating. In some time the musician became interested in softer kinds of electronic music, changed his name to REMOTEBAND and gave a few concerts in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg charming audiences with Space Drone Ambient/Noise. We offer six tracks from the latest period of REMOTEBAND art. Guitar, voice, analogue synthesizers, lots of effects, various pre-recorded samples. All these means of soundexpression very smoothly, skilfully and gently interlace into thick and rich intellectual Drone Ambient with some noisy touch and futuristic moods. [press-release]

Stahlwerk 9 -- "Revolution of the Antichrist" -- CD -- €10
2007 Steinklang Industries, SK 43, (ltd. 666)
Stahlwerk 9's new Dark/Death Ambient album R.O.T.A. is more quiet and ritual than his recent works. R.O.T.A. can be compared to his earlier albums "Oradour" and "1905", but a lot more sacral. Deep, sumbliminal drummings, heavy organs and bells and ominously dronning soundscapes guide you to your private Aramgeddon. A blackest soundtrack for the end of the world... The artwork consists of a folder in 7"-size, holding 10 large inlays on heavy cardbord. All paintings on the folder and the inlays were drawn by the Russian painter Alexander Nemkovsky (http://nemkovsky.info), who already worked with Peter Anderson (Raison d'Etre). "With the approach of the Antichrist's authority comes the moment for mankind, of conscious man-godkind and satan-godkind, which have the task to abolish the authority of God and to give the maximum global power to man and devil." (Lev Tikhomirov, "Religious-philosophical Bases of a History"). [press release]

2006 YAOP, YAOP 023, (ltd. 33)
3-way split tape of promising Russian power electronics projects. SudanStrain presented one exclusive track dedicated to Russian pop music and one archive track from the period of "HA PP ERA VEY!". First track of SudanStrain is a collaged/mixed material taken from the CD with Russian pop songs, second track is taken from the archive material. The result is knocking-out-the-brains power material different from both "HA PP ERA VEY!" and split with Narrowmind. Tchernoblyad will gladden the listeners who swiftly lose human face with pithecanthropoid suite in 3 parts inspired by the new film by Evgeny Yufit "Orthogradity". Disgustingly recorded dirty retarded power electronics with radionoise. Indra chose for the split 3 masterly done tracks of different heaviness degree, down to the elements of dark ambient in the 3rd composition. Handmade artwork from paper and flizeline. [label info]

2007 Cold Spring Records, CSR83CD
Split release from these two British acts for their Japanese Tour in April 2007... After "THIS IS THE TRUTH" Sutcliffe Jьgend continue to fuck with your brain. This time with a twenty eight minute diatribe against those who choose the path of least resistance, and suggest not only that they face their demons but embrace them. Are they questioning the listener or holding up a mirror and not liking what they see? Sutcliffe Jьgend continue to explore and understand the human condition with more depth and clarity of vision than a hundred singer/songwriters. A collage at turns ambient, experimental and explosive, they leave the listener thinking where next and more importantly - who is next in the line of fire... Satori arises with its first official release after 12 years of silence. 3 tracks of prime Fortean Electronics and Death Sonics, exploring the Noise side of Satori. Inspired by the Ringu trilogy, these tracks probe the hidden world of dead channel transmissions and unseen realms of the ether. This is the precursor to the Dark Ambient full-length album "KANASHIBARI", to be released on Dogma Chase Records / Molehill, Japan in 2007... Original artwork by Abby Hellasdottir. [press-release]

Sky and Earth meld into one where Vjuga Ljet Duj begun with a moment when nestling will begin to see, and then their Mothers give clear statements. Tightly wrapped it soars down, like a raven and enters the House through the roots. It is a journey-exploration and proclaiming each of 9 lines stated in Circle. With deep vibrations we enchant the symbols seen in dreams and ask the people who never spoken using words. Rough ritual ambient sung by voices of three worlds animals and shaped in acoustic-analog form. Iron percussion, loud words of caves and dimensions wrapped in smoke scent. We look after and expect, glorify the Law a song with inexhaustibility of form and content. [press-release]
