Re-issue of this classic 1988 release, originally released as a limited LP (Misty Circles, Ltd 1000). "...a proper re-release courtesy of the folks at Hau Ruck SPQR, and well done it is, it has been cleaned up and remastered without losing any of the original integrity... One can say many things about Ain Soph, but one thing is certain; they know how to incorporate different styles of music to their best advantage. For the most part, this release comes across as a ritual for the first free tracks at least. Which on the original vinyl release found closure with 'IAO', then takes a more aggressive tone on the title track 'Kshatriya', which is more a battle cry than an actual song, a post-industrial piece that is discordant as well as melodic. Not short on the esoteric this release finds Ain Soph on the cusp of re-invention, for in the early nineties their sound took a slightly different turn that can be described as folk rock, but we will always have this little gem to remember them" (Heathen Harvest). Digipak with original artwork from the LP and a third introduction made by THX.

AIN SOPH - 'Oktober' CD & 3" DVD (Old Europa Cafe)
Reissue of Ain Soph's 2002 album with new artwork. The come back of the Roman masters after 10 years! All vocals are in Italian with their usual acoustic instrumentation and their typical keyboard sounds. The songs are similar to their previous album "Aurora", but with an additional rocking electric guitar. Once more a work above all standards. The more unusual industrial project which still works from inside the industrial world. Tales of a Russian soldier during the October revolution. Probably even more surprising than "Aurora". The disc that you have been waiting for. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak with a bonus 3" DVD.
AREA BOMBARDMENT - 'In Hoc Signo Vinces' CD (Lichterklang)
In Hoc Signo Vinces is mainly a Martial album but contains also Dark Ambient and Neoclassical styles and could be compared to Arditi and Blood Axis. The tracks on the album deal with such themes as Irish and European history, philosophy, war, nature, culture and disaffection from the modern world. It's atmosphere is dark yet positive, igniting the flame of determination and unwillingness to succumb to the values of the modern world, harking back to the ancient values of honour and loyalty. The final mastering was made by Axel Frank (Werkraum) while the artwork was created by Haate Kaate (Allerseelen, Svarrogh).

CIRCUS JOY - 'Laetitia' CD (Old Europa Cafe / Misty Circles)
Italian cult band featuring 2 ex-members of AIN SOPH as well as other well known musicians of the Roman underground.

"Laetitia" displays the two faces of Circus Joy: sensual, sick love ballads on one side and the crazy, electric, rides on the other. Circus Joy is a group of non-musicians, long time friends who come together to produce noise by experimenting and improvising with their instruments. Ltd x 500 copies.

FALSE MIRROR - 'Derelict World' CD (Malignant Records)
After three years of intense work, Dark Ambient disciple False Mirror returns with his third full-length journey. With the timeless drones of his debut "Chronostatic Scenes" and the icy soundscapes on his highly acclaimed sophomore masterpiece "North" still resonating through space, solo artist Tobias Hornberger delivers "Derelict World", his most massive and epic undertaking so far. Dark drones, frostbitten soundscapes and warm vibrating tones from the deep bowels of the earth. From the sheer force of a tornado set loose to the beguiling calm within the eye of the storm, "Derelict World" is a 74 minute long sonic journey into a desolated, depopulated world. In a digipak containing a 20 page booklet with a conceptually linked short story written by author and journalist Bjørn Springorum. The album contains a number of hidden messages that lead to a rewarding "Bonus World" on falsemirror.de. "One of the best dark ambient releases in recent years" (Orkus).

FILIVS MACROCOSMI - 'Stalker' CD (OMS Records)
Inspired by and a tribute to A. Tarkovsky's movie "Stalker" (1979). Stalker is an elaborate puzzle. Its pieces are always scattered, and the listener is relied upon to bring the final element of the puzzle along with him. Stalker invites you to get carried away into your own thoughts, flowing with the images as it provides new questions to ponder. In that sense, the album is very much like a philosophical poem: a very simple surface covering innumerable layers of meaning. One long ride in a cart, with clunking metal and water-whooshing sounds. Altogether fascinating and hypnotic. "Welcome to your Self, an alien place guarded by barbed wire". Ltd x 500 copies in foldout sleeve. Ukrainian import.

It deals with happiness, craziness and the human condition. More powerful than ever, with a certain touch of psychiatric dancefloor, Petit trait� marks the return of Ga� Bolg to more immediate songs.

4 tracks from this Danish act who first appeared with a remix on Asche's "Distorted DJ" (Ant-Zen). Music according to Hinsidan are sounds, tones and beats that takes you places. The title song straddles between surreal complexity and naïve simplicity... odd and eerie. Tough and distorted beats, analogue bass, hypnotic synths and harsh drum explosions stand this above the average 'Ambient' fare. Nice cinematic melodies throughout. Again, the sophisticated blend of Ambient and Electro make this a must for fans of Autechre and Coil.

RAPOON - 'Melancholic Songs Of The Desert' CD (Soleilmoon)
"These songs were composed during the last days of the Bush / Blair era and reflect the feeling of isolation and disconnection from any part of the political process and any sense of identification with the prevailing air of hostility and intolerance generated by this pair of religious xenophobes. The unjustified war in Iraq and the subsequent lies and propaganda engendered a feeling of revulsion and powerlessness. Once again it was “unpatriotic” to criticize or protest against the government’s actions, and there was a rise in nationalism and extrem- ist views. These songs are a retreat into the one place that no government has yet found a way into, the free and open spaces of the mind. They are spontaneous and mediative reflections looking for an inner peace in a world made ugly by hatred and war. They symbolize a kind of “walkabout” and a reconnection with a lost sense of belonging spiritually, intellectually and physically with the world we inhabit. In a broader sense they also re-affirm long held sympathies with the thoughts of writers and philosophers such as Camus, Sartre and Burroughs, and the profound wisdom of eastern philosophies such as Taoism and Zen. The music here looks for a sense of inner being that one can only find in quiet isolation" (Robin Storey). Presented in a hand made, screen printed (metallic) card sleeve and limited to 500 copies. ACT FAST!
"Vorweltschweigen" is completely based on the lyrics and sounds of Sturmpercht, the legendary creators of Alpine Folk music. Rauhnacht is pure Alpine Black Metal, based on the atmosphere of early Norwegian Black Metal, but dealing with Alpine and Celtic mythology, philosophy and tradition. ABM contains a large variety of (ancient) traditional acoustic instruments from Alpine/Celtic areas, such as the Alphorn, the Teufelsgeige, hunter's trumpets and other obscure Alpine instruments, as well as organic/natural field-recordings from black forests, craggy mountains and dark caves. Rauhnacht is the name for the twelve nights between 24th December and 6th January, where the demons of winter and the Perchten celebrate their wild hunt through hidden Alpine villages and forests. 7" foldout sleeve with inserts.
