DEATH IN JUNE & BOYD RICE - 'Scorpion Wind' CD (NERUS / Soleilmoon)
(2007) Originally released in 1996 as Scorpion Wind's “Heaven Sent” CD / LP this album has long been considered the ‘lost’ classic collaboration between Death In June's Neofolk pioneer Douglas P. and Industrial music's renegade innovator Boyd Rice. Recorded in Australia prior to the pair starring in the cult film ‘Pearls Before Swine’, it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to modern living, modern loving and modern hating. Joined by percussionist John Murphy (SPK, KnifeLadder) for the first of what was to prove many collaborations between the ‘Unregistered 3’ and young Australian group Strength Through Joy (now Ostara), these recordings proved to be the perfect follow up to 1990’s ground-breaking Boyd Rice & Friends album “Music, Martinis & Misanthropy”. Digitally remastered CD including two extra tracks from the era and stunning new artwork, presented in a red and black foil-blocked digisleeve.
(2008) "The battle between Rome and Jerusalem continues through the ages. Spirituality vs. Materialism, Civitate Dei vs. Sin City. But where is Rome? And where is Jerusalem... and which is which???" Great Power Electronics split from Israeli act Drone Lebanon and well known Italian outfit Wertham (featuring John Murphy of Death In June, SPK, KnifeLadder etc). Outsized sleeve. Ltd x 497 copies.

KNIFELADDER - 'Organic Traces' CD (Operative Records)
(2002) "Organic Traces" is the first full length release by London act KnifeLadder and features percussion by John Murphy (Death In June, SPK etc), bass and electronics by Hunter Barr (AntiValium), vocals and electronics from Andrew Trail (Inertia, AntiValium), and a guest appearance on one track by Andrew King. A rare and exemplary example of tribal industrial, spewing forth as much earth born fire and dripping with the same salty burn of sweat and blood as other seminal acts from the genre, yet endowed a sense of here and now that keeps it contemporary and vital.

This tribal organic Industrial trio consists of Andrew Trail (Inertia, AntiValium), John Murphy (SPK, The Associates, Death in June), and Hunter Barr (AntiValium, Infant Skull Surgery) - here unleashing an amazing (proper) industrial album of pounding percussion mixed with doomy electronic soundscapes and twisted songs melodies. For fans of Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Whitehouse etc.

LAST DOMINION LOST - 'The Tyranny Of Distance' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Project by two former members of SPK! Multi-talented man John Murphy (KnifeLadder / ex-SPK and live member of DEATH IN JUNE) made these recordings with Dominik Guerin in Australia in the early 90s. The music is more or less a follow up to classical SPK - music like "Leichenschrei", hard aggressive screams rhythms and noiseloops with partly an tribal touch, all produced with old analog equipment, if there is a music to be labelled "old school" than here it is! Definitely something that closes a gap!!
THE SWORD VOLCANO COMPLEX - 'Phosphorescent' CD (Triumvirate)
"Phosphorescent" represents the aural manifestation of a return to light, strength, and self-assurance after the darker, more introspective and at times longing debut material. SVC is comprised of the core talents and creative visions of Bruce LaFountain and John Murphy (Death In June, KnifeLadder etc), who are frequently assisted by the crucial contributions of Karl Blake. A release that skillfully balances genuine musicianship and phantasmagoric experimentation.
