I. New release

Porch Nap
CD (ltd. 175) |
During the last ten years this moderately active figure of the St. Petersburg underground has been engaged in acoustic research, almost invisible for most people but passionate in its cosmologic nature. The result of these experiments turned into a fusion of seemingly incompatible genres of modern music – techno and improvised noise. However in the interpretation of Porch Nap this paradoxical combination sounds quite natural.
The album features selected tracks of Porch Nap dated 2007-2017, most of which were reworked in recent years. For five compositions additional parts were recorded by honored figures of the Russian experimental scene: Fedor Svolotch, Alexei Borisov, Kryptogen Rundfunk, Brompton's Cocktail, as well as by the famous American noise musician Phillip Klingler aka PBK. And the final track "Intelligent Noise Monday" was remixed live by Alexander Zaitsev, known as a member of the band EU (Ёлочные Игрушки).
Porch Nap's creative method is rooted in deep minimalism and almost complete disregard of musical setup in its traditional meaning. The basis of almost all compositions is built on live recordings of an analogue feedback generator transformed by the author’s algorithms of digital processing. Peculiar frequency combinations and extreme binaural effects obtained in a random manner during improvisations will arouse interest of the most inquisitive music lovers. Recommended to listen in headphones. Not recommended to listen before sleep.
The edition is released in 2 versions. Standard edition includes CD in digisleeve with two cards. Limited to 175 copies. Special edition includes CD in digisleeve with two cards, bonus mini-CD-R in cardboard sleeve with an alternative version of the title track Porch Nap feat Fedor Svolotch "Antidot" and two additional compositions, Porch Nap ""Ordo Ordinans" audio-tape (reissue of the 2001 album), all packed in white rag bag with silk-screen printing. Limited to 35 copies.
This is a co-release by Fulldozer Records and ZHELEZOBETON Distribution Division.

2013 [...]dotsmark, ooo-28
Noise / Experimental. Lo-fi / nonsense and bad taste and deep thinking living together performance, too matched progressive style and thorough underground & home-made terrorism. Acoustically many blind and enthusiastic "Noise" as a foreign object unit and Abisyeikah who got praise. This work will be their first press CD / regular circulation work as their 4th original album. When are you not paying attention to them now and when are you paying attention? It is!... Formed in 2004. Gunma ~ Gyoda ~ Koenji ~ Roppongi ~ Shibuya hiding in, consistently live and releasing repeatedly. Since its debut, "Gore Grind" and "Noise Grind" are proclaimed, and the creative activities such as Extreme Music ~ Noise ~ Performance Art are repeated repeatedly unexpectedly expanding interpretation or misunderstanding of that keyword... He repeatedly appeared in the real underground event of the land he had called and so far from Japan Punk / Rock's great master such as Tsunematsu Masatoshi, OH MY COW !, Kill (KILL) Shunji Mikawa + HIKO, Dave Phillips, Francisco Meirino , Yousuke Fuyama and other gachinko noises / electronic acoustic forces. In addition, in collaboration with a certain artist who went with a refrigerator man, Kawasaki CHITTA, both Moriyama Mirai and Genre / Industry / Career / Overground or Underground, Opportunities for co-starring with any scene, country artist and borderless I am blessed with each other, and I am going to meet each other...

Bain Wolfkind -- "Music For Lovers & Gangsters" -- CD -- €10
2005 Hau Ruck!, HR!76, (ltd. 1000)
Noir Blues / Rock. Music For Loves and Gangsters is steeped in noir-Americana, dripping in sleaze inhabited by low-lifers, pimps, whores, mobmen and killers. Wolfkind's sand and sawdust vocal recalls Tom Waits, while the music touches upon the aforementioned along with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Leather Nun and The Gun Club. It conjures up visions of dark alleyways, nightime streets populated with hazy neon bar room signs and strip joints. A late night sex-killing can be found on 'Burlesque' cloaked in an edgey noir soundtrack. Wolfkind's takes his cues from the seedy underbelly characterised by American pulp crime novels. Like in the books of James Ellroy redemption isn't something that you are going to find here but as a soundtrack to American crime novels this works particularly well. Music For Lovers and Gangsters where hate calls the shots. [label info]
[youtube]
Bain Wolfkind -- "The Swamp Angel" -- CD -- €10
2008 Hau Ruck!, HR!92
Noir Blues / Rock. The Australian songwriter and DER BLUTHARSCH member returns with an album, featuring 15 reverb drenched tales of love, loss, betrayal and revenge. The album is guitar driven and features a Motley Crew of guest musicians spanning a sound from Johnny Thunders style ballads and rocking numbers to downtempo psychedelic torch songs. [label info]
Bain Wolfkind -- "Wasteland" -- CD EP -- €7
2007 Hau Ruck!, HR!86
Noir Blues / Rock. This release finds Bain Wolfkind treading a similar path to previous releases only this time much darker, autobiographical, tragic and southern than ever before! Purely a solo 'back to basics' release, guitar, organ, tambourine, maracas, voice and nothin' much else. Think Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Young, Hank Williams and Michael Gira in a Mexican flophouse with a cheap guitar, a case of tequila and a tape machine. [label info]
Belorukov, Ilia / Miguel A. Garcia / Jason Kahn / Frantz Loriot -- "Invanskrue" -- CD -- €10
2017 Intonema, int025, (ltd. 200)
Improv / Electroacoustic / Minimal. In December 2016, Ilia Belorukov and Miguel A. García were on tour in France and Switzerland, with Zurich as the final point of their trip. Jason Kahn and Frantz Loriot, who live in Zurich, accepted the invitation to participate in the studio session with visiting musicians. This spontaneous meeting was saved in Invanskrue, Intonema's 25th release. The quartet explores the connections between electronic and acoustic sources of sound, getting to the territory of free improvisation, electroacoustics and microtonal play on the instruments.

blackhumour -- "Selected Pieces" -- CD -- €10
2014 noise-below, (ltd. 300)
Probably one of the more curious careers in music: blackhumour, who spells it without capitals, like any thing he writes really. so we humour him with this review without capitals. curious career, since in the late 80s he was active on the cassette scene, released a lp even, and then seemed to have disappeared and releases have become more sparse since then. what i enjoyed back then about the music of blackhumour was the consistent use of only voice material, which he cut into loops and layered them together, very much like steve reich did with his 'come out' and 'it's gonna rain'; in later he work blackhumour cut phrases out of conversations and moved them around, creating new contexts. that work appealed less to me, i must admit. the six selected pieces here are from the period 1996 to 2002 and hold the middle ground between those 'heavy' drone like pieces from the early years and the cut 'n paste pieces of later. repetition plays a big role here, and most of the time it seems like not much is changing here - except for 'arbitrary', which seem to contain glitches from the digital audio tape it was once recorded on (unless this is a dirty cd), which add something to the voice material. Otherwise these pieces are as minimal as you can get, and it's the blackhumour i like very much. it has that fine hypnotic sound, with enough information to concentrate on one thing for a while and then something else. 'le mot juste' is the piece in which things change around into something entirely different. 'revision' adds in density over the course of seventeen minutes before changing over, in order to grow again, which is pretty much a standard blackhumour compositional technique. this is a most wonderful release. it should have fitted on monochrome vision (blackhumour has a strong black and white aesthetic too), but on noise-below is equally in the right place. if you have no idea who blackhumour is or what he does and if 80s unsung cassette heroes is your 'thing', then this cd is the best place to start. my pick of the week. [FdW, Vital Weekly]
Cawatana -- "Struggle For Wisdom" -- CD -- €10
2003 Eis Und Licht, Eis031
Neofolk from Hungary. Digipak with 4-page lyrics booklet.

Cent Ans De Solitude & Flint Glass -- "Sprengbagger 1010" -- CD -- €10
2017 Les Nouvelles Propagandes, NP.027
Industrial / Soundtrack. Germany, 1929 – After developing the plans for a huge excavator for his coal mining company, the engineer Karl Hartmann yearns for the fresh air far from his smog-filled industrial world. He returns to the village of his childhood going back to his roots in the countryside, participating in rural life, working in his grand-mother’s mill and enjoying his free time with Camilla, the pretty girl from the nearby castle. However, his assistant, Olga Lossen, discovering the plans for his machine and recognising their importance, asks the board of directors to bring Hartmann back in order to build it... The engineer is torn apart by the two women and the two conflicting ways of life. At the very moment he has to make a choice, he discovers that the village was built on a giant coal mine. This revelation seals the fate of the whole community. The giant machine, like an apocalyptic creature begins its deadly task, swallowing up the very ground, destroying the natural environment and the castle, tearing people away from their collapsing homes and bringing death and ruin into the midst of what ought to have been an Eden... Cent Ans de Solitude and Flint Glass offer a musical interpretation of the conflicts arising throughout the movie. The live performance consists of a mixture of their own unique approach to sounds, made up of electronic layers and including acoustic elements deriving from objects being transformed from their original functions, such as scratching metal, hitting stone or bending springs. These sounds mimic the devastating effects of the monstrous machine and the industrial world it comes from. This cinema concert immerses the viewer into a dense musical environment, backed by the melodic electronic lines which echo the cold and brutal sounds of metal. [press-release]

Cisfinitum -- "O vs 0" -- CD -- €10
1999/2014 Old Captain, OCCD07, (ltd. 250)
The debut album by charismatic Eugeny Voronovsky and his enigmatic project Cisfinitum “0 vs 0” is re-released in a CD format after 15 years of its cryptic lurking in the dark. True minimal post industrial analogue sound. The first album recorded by Cisfinitum circa 1998 is a unique archival work from internationally renowned underground dark ambient composer from Russia. The lunatic and lo-fi album with a distinct industrial aftertaste. It is kept unremastered and its pristine condition hints at obvious hisses, noises, clicks, abrupt frequency amplifications and sporadic channel drops. Approach the record with caution, play it not loud to reveal its morbid charm which is extreme simplicity that hurts. For the lovers of Archon Satani and No Festival of Light. The CD comes in limited Digisleeve edition of 250 copies. [press-release]
[bandcamp]
Fujinami, Yasuhito -- "Lotus" -- CD -- €10
2017 SSSM, sssm-120
Ambient / Noise / Experimental. Another fine release from Japanese label SSSM that fits right in line with their style of idiosyncratic noise and experimental albums. Layers of heart-ache synth, vocal samples and abstract sound collage come together into something with a sentimental, dream-like quality, often harsh but always rewarding. [Keenan Johnston, bandcamp] A bold sampling collage and painful synth melody from Japan. Industrial and Harsh Noise in style, the sound composition comes with an apocalyptic world view. The sense of darkness... blackness... melancholy felt here is outstanding. It builds into ambient noise which finally flows from grief to love. Gatefold digisleeve. [Cold Spring]
[bandcamp]

2017 Auditive Abstraction, AA0001, (ltd. 111)
Dark Ambient. "Once you have endured the Horrors revealed through the flesh sphere, there's still a long way to go in order to overpass the veil to a higher consciousness, and thus see/experience the light which emanate from Darkness. Black Empty Void part II is the sonorous expression of this journey. The Sinister path which each being have to cross in solitude." [label info]

Lemna -- "Stray Lights" -- CD -- €10
2017 Status Prod., SP 05CD, (ltd. 200)
Black Ambient / Industrial. Since the immemorial times , belated travelers, between dark trees and snags, see the lights far off . It seems, the flame of fires or light of the human dwelling will give heat and food to the tired traveler, but the closer the fires became, the heavier gets the way , the bog tightens more and more deeply. And now, on the surface of the swamp not even a trace left, just quietly swaying duckweed, and devilish sparks, as if the flames of a myriad of candles, twinkle in total darkness... STATUS Prod. presents a debut album "Stray Lights" of the Voronezh dark ambient/black industrial project LEMNA. Drawling guitar riffs, the disturbing, howling, humming sounds of a deaf thicket and the swamp forest, which were skillfully mixed in a uniform sound line by the leader of the project - Kha Vesh, transfer the pressing atmosphere of hopelessness, inevitability, helplessness in a minute when water close up over the head... For achievement of authenticity of sounding, guitar record and mixing of the album were made directly in the wood. The album is released by 200, hand-numbered, copies, each copy contains the package of a dried duckweed, which, having placed in water which, in a combination with audio, everyone can reach an effect of "full immersion".

Llovespell -- "Symmetric Poetry" -- CD -- €10
2004 Sonderübertragung!, Sü05, (ltd. 500)
Electronics. llovespell is the project of Stephan S. and Mandie K., founded after the split of Radio Eichenlaub in the year 2002. They create outstanding productions of sometimes bizarre electronica, with song-like structures from the postmodern era containing elements of krautrock and early 80s new wave and industrial electronica; a cold narrative female (and or sometimes male) voice surrounded by whirling electronic movements and weird sounds dominated by straight but sometimes colliding or collapsing rhythms, flanked by floating melodies that lounge around in every day’s melancholia, placed in a timeless otherworldly almost fairytale-like dreamy aural context.

2014 LF Records, lf039, (ltd. 70)
Minimal Techno / Lo-Fi. Wowzers! 24th century technoid jams from Brisbane, Australia duo Club Sound Witches. Guys came to our intention through several bewildering CDR's on the very fine Breakdance The Dawn label, gotta say I was instantly hooked to their otherworld vibes. ‘Revolutionary Spray’ is two sides of crude but clever electronic pulse and patter with minimal keyboard lines and whispered wraith-vox summoning’s. Deep funk inside the void with a queasy-rhythm dream soundtrack. This is an instant antidote to much of the machismo ‘noise-techno’ doing the rounds nowadays, will leave you nodding your head and shuffling your feet with none of the associated brain damage of the genre.

2016 SSSM, sssm-118
Brand new album from Japan's Contagious Orgasm. A very unique sound with strange landscapes in numerous and different musical styles.

Halo Manash -- "Taiwaskivi" -- CD -- €12
2009 Aural Hypnox, [AH12], (ltd. 500)
Ritual Ambient / Drone. As winter hibernation and spring awakening gives way to summer, Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth Taiwaskivi, an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music... Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies... An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation - a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All... Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet with inserts. [press-release]

2005 Cyclic Law, 15th Cycle
Dark Ambient. Gustaf's second full lenght is a unique, evolved experience offering you to embark upon an odyssey through ancient and lifeless surroundings. Sweeping ambient soundscapes and delicate textures mingle with the distant shrieks of surreal machinery - conjuring up images of abandoned and forgotten places, clouded skies and dead cities where time has been standing still. A captured moment from a strange no man's land lit by a perpetual gloom, Primordial Resonance is a voyage only limited by the imagination of the listener. [press release]
