Moune is a very old word for Moon in an old language that was spoken in Germany. But it’s not German, it’s Friesisch. Helge Siehl is the driving force of 1000schoen since the time he parted ways with the other two former Maeror Tri members. This album shows the more Dark Ambient side of 1000schoen, leaving the rhythmic path behind in favour of menacing sounds of highly personal moon rising visions. The symbol of 1000schoen reflects the celestial bodies of Sun and Moon in inseparable symbiosis, which we can see in all that we can imagine. The world of 1000schoen art and experience moves in this continuum as well. Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

ANDREA MARUTTI - ' The Subliminal Relation Between Planets - Live In Archiaro' CD (Nextera)
All music performed and recorded live by Andrea Marutti in Archiaro (Catanzaro, Italy) on August the 24th, 2007. "[Marutti] operates in the area that we could loosely identify as drone music, or ambient, but... this is of a much darker nature altogether. It's hard to tell what it is that he does; be it synthesizers, samplers, computer processing or just tons of sound effects, in the end the effect is a seventy-minute opus of dark, utter dark electronic music. The planets mentioned in the title may give away some of some of the darkness, and perhaps its all too easy to say that its pitch black as the stars by night, but on christmas eve, with stars bright and almost full moon, these sort of references may count. Think Lustmord meeting Mirror, the darkest fantasy of Klaus Schulze or such cosmic hero from yesteryear, and Andrea Marutti is your man" (Vital Weekly).

Autunna et sa Rose have used material from their first 3 albums, interpreted on piano and cello, and featuring soprano vocals and poetic recitation. They bring to life dramatic pieces that push the typically softer tones of Neo-Classical music into a more demanding ground dominated by Contemporary Classical music. Ataraxia have rearranged a collection of their finest tracks that would fit an entirely acoustic format, revisiting them in a warmer and more intimate form. This selection covers not only tracks from most of their releases, but also titles from the sold-out EPs, as well as two previously unreleased songs and material never before issued on CD. An essential release for those into Neo-Classical music. Released a deluxe limited edition double CD Digipak, complete with booklet.

The two feminine characters animating this project, Pilar and Olga, follow a Dark Atmospheric Heavenly Voices direction originating in Arcana, Elend, Dark Sanctuary, Qntal or The Moon and The Nightsprit. The cello, piano and synth sound more atmospheric and dreamlike. The voice sounds like the breath of the forest, hanging over the music and leading the listener into dreamy landscapes. "Itineris I" is an initiatory journey through the most evocative romanticism. Aura Noctis aims to transport us to those places where the mind has never been, arousing fantasy that is latent within us. Their melodies are the hope that drives away the pain.

After the massive earthing from the moon, Fjernlys leads you to points of light illuminated by gilded signs and the frozen sun is shivering in the inner journeys to places where the mystic dress of stars is surrounding the night. Clear homogeneous sounds creeping deep organic rhythms with lovely effects have been incorporated in a poetic ambiance guided by brilliant vocals.

ISOLRUBIN BK - 'Crash Injury Trauma' CD (Soleilmoon)
B. Lustmord released “Crash Injury Trauma” in 1993, as a side project, under the pseudonym Isolrubin BK. “Crash Injury Trauma” is a shocking and disturbing album, unflinching and relentless in its fascination with violent car accidents. Tires skid and horns blare, followed by the sickening sounds of crashing metal and shattering glass, screams, sirens and heart-pounding bass. It’s a cruel, sadistic and horrifying tour de force in the ambient and power electronics genre. Following “Heresy” and “The Monstrous Soul”, and preceding “The Place Where The Black Stars Hang”, the album was recorded during what is now considered a pivotal period in the British artist’s career. Out of print for nearly a decade, this new 2009 edition has been remastered from the ground up, and is presented in completely redesigned packaging.

Minimal structured noise layered on deep subsonic frequency rumble leading to a dark tunnel of screaming hopelessness and destruction, creating a misanthropic feel that leaves you alone in the decay of human being.

LOVAC - 'Apes Of A Cold God CD (Soleilmoon)
Swedish folk / industrialists Lovac is a new band with old roots, having already released a full-length CD of Death in June covers on Douglas P.'s NERUS label under the name Down in June. With a distinctive "totenpop" vision they re-invented the songs to the delight of both Death In June fans and music journalists who discovered the treasure of Douglas P. songs anew. Lovac’s music evokes a night-of-the-world mood that deftly calls down the nostalgia of romanticism and overlays it with a war machine blowing a cold breeze of death into the dawn. Lovac is part of a larger movement of modern European pop music that draws inspiration from traditional folk music and brings it to new life in a fertile clash with the contemporary minimalistic industrial scene. Combining this music with text fragments from Karl Marx, Antonin Artaud and Percy Bysshe Shelley, “Apes of a Cold God” invites the listener to take a deep look into the abysmal underside of civilization. Lavishly printed mini-LP style sleeve with gold foil blocking and an eight page booklet.
Dub Remix EP of the Lustmord album [ O T H E R ]. Three obviously dubby, heavy and smokey reinterpreations of tracks taken from the original "[ O T H E R ] " album. Reminiscent of the "Lustmord vs Metal Beast" album, but full of gritty and stretched out riffs (think what had been done with the Melvins on "Juggernaut"), this last chapter is a bit beatier than the "Transmuted" vinyl, and fits very well with the rest of Lustmord's extremely deep and masterfully produced catalogue. Features Adam Jones of Tool. 40 minutes of music over 3 epic tracks! Comes in a shrinkwrapped card slip.
A classic, much revered album, "The Monstrous Soul" was conceived in Sheffield in 1990 by Lustmord (aka Brian Williams) and Clock DVA founder Adi Newton. A deliberately minimal recording. An hour long soundscape best described as a journey through a frozen hell. The five songs contained revel in a sort of restrained melodrama, packed with horror movie samples and apocalyptic tensions. Another essential release by the unrivalled Lord of Ritual Dark Ambient!
First time on CD! Post-Industrial Ambient and hypnotic loops created by the legendary Maeror Tri.

MERZBOW - 'Ouroboros' CD (Soleilmoon)
Ouroboros is an ancient symbol dating back more than 4000 years. A snake or dragon eats its own tail, and represents eternity, or the circularity of life.

Masami Akita, recording under the name Merzbow is considered one of the preeminent artists in the field of noise music. In recent years his output has centered on animal themes, following his concern for the protection of animal rights. Albums for chickens, whales, seals and dolphins have been released on a variety of labels. "Ouroboros" is presented in an exquisite handmade screen-printed eight-panel roll-folder featuring original artwork by Mr. Akita, and is limited to 500 copies.
Brand new album from cult Russian Neofolk act Moon Far Away! "Minnesang" is an album of 21st century ritual music encased in a unique fusion of the most diverse and zeitgeist-capturing musical styles, from neofolk, dark folk and post punk to practically future pop. The theme of the album, the deep-rooted feminine archetypes in contemporary art, is embodied in the title, which identifies a genre of medieval knight lyrics. At the same time, most of the original Russian lyrics on the album are drenched with the trademark Pomor flavours, emphasising the pride that the band has always taken in its cultural roots that extend deep into the epic traditions of the Russian North. "Minnesang" is a new milestone achieved by a cult group who already gave contemporary art scene a number of discoveries and revelations. This Ahnstern version has partly different artwork to the Russian edition and the last song is completely different to the Russian version. 61 minutes of music in a digipak.
Born from the ashes of Ordo Funebris emerges Narsilion to drive us through those dreams that one day made us feel magic... in a world full of mysticism... where elves, fairies and more beautiful creatures dance to unending legends...

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.

THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT - 'Rego Rejtem' CD (Equilibrium Music)
An impressive return, which finds the duo tapping further into their Hungarian roots, both lyrically (no English vocals this time around) and musically, resorting to ethnic instruments that add a more colourful and vibrant tone to their sound. A mystical journey into the amaranthine realm of dreams and beauty, long-forgotten by modern man. A journey inspired by pagan fables, ancient Hungarian folk music and nature itself. "Rego Rejtem" is a line from ancient Hungarian minstrel songs, which means "I conjure with magic", a vision that suits perfectly the mood on the duo's songs. This time they have traveled further into times bygone, rekindling the flames of the Taltos (Hungarian shaman) and reawakening the spirits of the Elders. The album is presented in a DVD-size Digipak, and comes with both Hungarian and English versions of the lyrics.

Hungarian male vocals are complimented by the beautiful ethereal female voice of guest singer Ágnes Tóth (The Moon and the Nightspirit). 2nd edition in jewelcase

TINDERSTICKS - 'The Hungry Saw' CD (Beggars Banquet)
This seventh album from the cult Nottingham indie chamber pop act is their first since 2003's 'Waiting For The Moon' and sees them reduced to a trio after the departure of several founder members. Relocating to a long-dream-of studio space in rural France, the band recruited new backing players and quickly laid down these tunes, whose new and stripped-down version of their trademark sound has already been hailed by fans and critics alike. "...from the first haunting notes of "Introduction" to the last soulful moments of "The Turns We Took", The Hungry Saw is as good as it gets. The traditional Tindersticks sound - part smoky heartbreak, part sinister minor-key noir malevolence - is present and correct, and far more focussed, resulting in an early contender for the best album of 2008... the strength of the tracks, and the sheer thrill of hearing Stuart Staples' sleepy Cohen-esque croon tackle such gems as the title track, the gently mournful "All the Love", or the sinister "Mother Dear" prove that the band are as good as they ever were... as affecting and epic as anything they've done, and a good sign that Tindersticks still have a fruitful few albums in them yet."

YAN JUN - 'Music For Listening On The Moon' CD (Kwanyin Records)
One hour of continual sound, entwined with the other dim sounds of your room. “Music For Listening On The Moon” is a continuation of “Wormhole Trip OST” (Kwanyin, 2009). "A contemplative album of innerspace travel. The album transcends its humble productions of sinusoidal flutterings of pedal sourced feedback and squiggling aquatic field recordings treated with ring modulation, as Yan seeks a radically different approach to the cosmic listening embarked by the likes of Cluster and Tangerine Dream, whose baroque expansiveness has been subsumed by the vacuum of outerspace, with just those two sources intertwining in an endless mobius strip of silvery drone and pointilist tactility. It sounds more like Steve Roden taking over an Asmus Tietchens album and allowing the electronically treated sounds and tones to organically evolve into a radiant blossom instead of the purposefully cold and sometimes stiff compositions that Tietchens often produces" (Aquarius). Digipak.
First official release from cult Polish act Supreme Lord (features members / ex-members of Witchmaster and Christ Agony). This album consists of 8 completely new and uncompromising tracks, plus a special bonus of a '95 remastered demo "At the Black Moon Night". The disc also includes two video clips "Death Metal Beast" and "Terrorzone". Old school Black Metal. File next to Nile, Immolation, Behemoth etc.
