ARDITI / SIGNA INFERRE - 'Statues Of Gods / Invictis Victi Victuri' Black 10" (Equilibrium Music)
3 exclusive tracks from each band! For "Statues of Gods", Arditi tap into ancient Nordic traditions and incorporate them in their militaristic anthems. The characteristically oppressive soundscapes, pounding percussions and powerful orchestrations are represented in new shades, as elements of Nordic folk music shape Arditi's pieces into slow-motion medieval dances and ceremonial tributes to times past. "Invictis Victi Victuri" is the first release by Signa Inferre. Although the project has only recently surfaced, the maturity displayed in their pieces should quickly earn them a favorable position in the Neo-Classical / Martial Industrial scene. Leaving behind the typical insipid blending of samples lifted from Classical music recordings and looped ad nauseam, Signa Inferre's work develops in fluid and continuous progression, giving birth to fully accomplished epic scores brimming with martial beauty. Ltd x 300 copies on black vinyl with silver on black printed card artwork. ACT FAST!

BURNING STAR CORE - 'WSBC/SSS' 10 " (NO-FI)
The second in the series of super-limited 10”s from cincinnati’s basement noise terrorist C. Spencer Yeh. Where "Amelia" showed Yeh’s sensitive side, "WSBC/SSS" goes straight for the jugular with pure distorted punk noise, all rampant high end and a growling analogue core. However what sets Yeh away from so many of his contemporaries is that beneath all the hellish distortion and crushing doom is a sense of harmony and pastoral perfection. It’s not often in noise music that you get this kind of intense-yet-measured collision, but Yeh manages to pull it off magnificently resulting in a 10” which crosses genre boundaries in the most punk-rock fashion imaginable. Features special exclusive artwork from Wolf Eyes’ John Olson!
The fourth volume in the "Substantia Innominata" series comes from one of the best projects of the Russian experimental-atmospheric / drone / post-industrial-scene, headed by Evgueny Voronovsky from Moscow. Cisfinitum itself means the "logic of the infinite non-existence" - that "something" that is beyond all rational things. "Devotio" uses monumental bell-sounds and hypnotic drone-waves over various layers, dissolving into pure vibrations. A journey into the heart of the sacral, pointing at a sphere of transcendence where all questions end. Or begin again. First edition, ltd x 500 copies on white vinyl.
This 6-track release continues in the same vein as "Wasteland", but is less rhythmic and more deep and meditative, being maybe the most dark and melancholic Cyclotimia release to date. Analogue electronic layers submerge listener to an atmosphere of uneasy hallucinatory reverie. Subtle clear sound and sad melodies unite to create the unique mix of cold psychedelia and soulful grief. Reminds of Controlled Bleeding, Raison D'etre and Reutoff in places.

DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE - 'Neunundvierzig Entgleisungen' 2 x 10" (Auf Abwegen)
DSM is now the sole project of Guido Huebner, who has been working in the medium of sound and found objects since the early 1980s. DSM have their very own take on the patialisation of sound and the moving around of sonic objects in the stereo field. The overall impression is of rawness and fragility at the same time. The music on these two 10" records is super-dynamic and fragmented and sounds very fresh and alive. "Neunundvierzig Entgleisungen" comes in a full cover gatefold sleeve. The records play at 45rpm (the label incorrectly states 33rpm). Features texts by Jean Rene Lasalle, painting by Francoise Vigot and layout by Stefan Hanser (Anemone Tube). Ltd x 500 copies.

DAVID JACKMAN & PHILIP SANDERSON - 'Terrain' 10" (Die Stadt)
Two tracks from early cassette releases. Side A is an alternative version of "Terrain" by Jackman and Sanderson, originally released on the "0 Degrees North" cassette (Aeroplane 1982). With Jackman overdubbing low guttural growls on a steel strung cello and Sanderson programming coffee-percolation on a drum machine, "Terrain" is a lo-fi production that finds its companions in the work of Throbbing Gristle, Hunting Lodge, and the Broken Flag camp of noise. Side B is a solo piece by Jackman, originally released on the 'Adrift' cassette (Snatch Tapes 1981). It is similarly lo-fi with a hypnotic loop of a monochromatic guitar topped with clanging metals and samples from orchestral swells, which have been drained of all color and replaced with a swampy din.

DAVID JACKMAN - 'Edge Of Nothing' 10" (Die Stadt)
"Edge Of Nothing" was first released in a cassette edition of 5 (!) copies on Jackman’s Aeroplane imprint, and then included on the legendary “The Elephant Table Album” DLP in 1983 (feat. Coil, Nurse With Wound, SPK, Lustmord etc). Both tracks presented here are the January 2003 mixes of the original material, which was derived from variously stimulating a cymbal with bows, knuckles, loops etc. An extremely dense piece of experimental noise where (allegedly) the B side is the A side reversed.

DAVID JACKMAN - 'Flak' 10" (Die Stadt)
An excellent 10" release offering two diverse pieces. Side A is a heavy, densely layered drone piece comprised of harsh, grating sounds all over the sound field, but sliding from start to finish with remarkable constancy. It's a truly beautiful noise, rather like some of Jackman's earlier work as Organum. Side B is a field recording, untreated, unfiltered, recorded outdoors, with a great hiss that is very much present in the mix. This second track seems to comment on the drone piece in a way, acting as an alternative exploration of its theme. Regular edition of 400 copies.

DEEP - 'divedeepunderwater' 10" (Dhyana Records)
A head-on clash between noise, dub, metal destruction, 2 bass guitars and poppy drum patterns, sprinkled with vox that could've been pulled from a Sebadoh or Dinosaur album. A strange mixture, that's works very well. Hand assembled package, ltd x 300 copies.
Two great new pieces by this Russian artist, most sensible and emotional drone-ambience, a graceful dance of acoustic reflections and resonances. "Spectral Ship" and "Tidal Fire" appear like universal mantras, revealing the basic HUM of the universe. These works seem to represent perfectly the concept of the "Substantia" series: Sound that exists but which is not originating from the impact of two subjects in contact. Sound that is simply "there", with no beginning or ending. Limited to 500 copies on silver coloured vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Daniel Crokaert / Mystery Sea.

KALLABRIS - 'Music For Very Simple Objects' 10 " (Substantia Innominata / Drone Records)
Maybe the most mysterious and thought-provoking German experimental project with recordings derived from field recordings so bizarre it's difficult to find any words for it! This work features very short sequences of concrete sounds, arranged in a structural and temporal way that the "known reality" is placed in a new frame and context, thus making it possible that the world behind may become "visible" through our acoustic senses. What is usually familiar is suspended in order to make new experiences. The acoustic elements have been configured in a certain causal formation which is not consciously perceivable within the phenomenal order. The phenomenon hides the principle & substance of the sound-pieces. Limited to 500 copies on fluorescent green coloured vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Andreas Mal Hoeschen.

Kapotte Muziek's side is a nice mixture of both quite, and noisy sounds - groans, crackles, clicks and silences. Quite obscure. While Licht-Ung's side (recorded under the guide of Seymour) is heavy droning tones, pure feedback and microphone noises. Very nice piece.

MALDUR ATAI - 'Patrols Of Paradise' 10" (Autarkeia)
Two long and powerful tracks from Maldur Atai provide a unique interpretation of the political and religious insularity and power of the Muslim world, secret currents and moods of this mechanism expanding its influence. The listeners will discover powerful, solid ambient, political incantations of the Muslims and strong, unsettling atmospheres in the professionally constructed tracks of this 10". This captures the reflection of today's Iran. It is mysterious and alluring, vilified by Zionist propaganda, yet independent and unbroken. Don't buy if you're easily offended. Ltd x 230 copies in an embossed sleeve.
MICHAEL NORTHAM - 'Suhina' 10" (Substantia Innominata / Drone Records)
"Suhina" is a notion for the sound of the wind moving through the trees. Instead of capturing field recordings of wind, Michael Northam tried to capture this feeling and the essence of this process through instrumental recordings from Indonesian flute and keyboard. Natural phenomena seen as the true manifestation of the Unknown. Stunning full colour artwork by Indian artist Rohini Devasher. Ltd x 500 copies on white vinyl.
"Ruins Of Morning" shows NADJA in a very experimental and dark poetic mood. Their contribution for the "Substantia Innominata" series comes in two long parts (around 20mins each) based around one musical theme that appears again and again (a great dark harmonic phrase moving through different levels through this epic track), linked by very beautiful drone-sections and more noisy outbursts. Song-orientation and a more experimental sound-art approach are thus combined perfectly. The fantastic lyrics from Aidan Baker point in a very poetic way to an utopian new morning where material values play no role anymore, but a new state of sensual being is settled in an almost J.G.BALLARDian way. These lyrics open up a scope of vague possible interpretations witch match up perfectly with the impressing music; a music that describes "The Unknown" in strong metaphors of surrealistic psychic states of being. Experience the avant-gardish drone-doom-metal duo at their most dark and beautiful. Ltd x 500 copies on golden coloured vinyl.

NICK CASTRO & THE YOUNG ELDERS - 'A Day Without Disaster' 10" (A Silent Place)
"A Day Without Disaster" is a glimpse into the ever-evolving minds of NC & The Young Elders, who dwell somewhere between the romantic male / female duets of Richard & Linda Thompson and the exotic worldly arrangements of the Incredible String Band. With their focused, sensitive touch, unusual acoustic textures, gentle wordplay and ensemble interaction The Young Elders are traversing the folk world and leaving large shoes to fill. Their latest efforts meet paths with psychedelic sirens, Turkish rain calls, celtic ghost stories and realisations of the natural world. Though often lumped in with the "freak-folk" genre Nick Castro has been transcending such labels since most of these new folkies were still playing indie rock. Standard black vinyl edition of 600 copies with shaped poster and gold embossed sleeve.
Noise Maker's Fifes is an experimental performance group from Brussels. The first side of "Zona Incerta" is based on the choreography "Dyonisos' Last Day" from 2003 and uses material from various live performances. The second side is created from insect field recordings made in Kenya. "Zona Incerta" builds a hazy and foggy dimension.. sounds ebb and flow in and out... water and metal-sounds are recognisable in the sound-field, high insect-frequencies intertwine with all kinds of strange noises and animal sounds. Released in two different vinyl-colours, limited to 250 copies apiece: blue-green and clear (sorry, we are unable to state which colour you will get, as they're sealed).

Limited edition Picture disc from SKITLIV, the project of former MAYHEM front man MANIAC.

This picture disc is made extra special not only by the inclusion of “Who Will Deliver Us From Gold and Planets” by CURRENT 93 - an introductory collage destruct that was created at the request of Maniac and is dedicated to him, but also because the artwork that is used for the side containing this track is part of one of Tibet’s own paintings.
