BILL HORIST & KK NULL - 'Interstellar Chemistry' CD (Beta-Lactam Ring)
(2002) KK Null (Zeni Geva) provided sonic source material which Horist then organised, manipulated & added on to. So what happened? Scrumptious musical confectionaries with surprise flavour centres! The drum machinations pound out strains reminiscent of Ikue More (ala Death Praxis) or latter day Bruce Gilbert with a bit of controlled early Nurse With Wound wail thrown. Horists' guitar techniques are exciting, weird, rhythmic. Bill has crafted a cohesive statement out of all these musical explorations, which, in many ways, smells of the tectonics of 'OG' electro-experimental records of the early 80's & late 70's.

BOYD RICE & Z'EV - 'Untitled' 12" (Cold Spring CSR105EP)
(2008) This stunning 12" brings together two long-time San Francisco friends and legends of the Industrial music scene, both active since the late 70s! Boyd Rice is well-known for his project NON and for his collaborations with Death In June, Rose McDowall, Coil and Tony Wakeford to name but a few. Z'EV is a prolific composer and conceptual artist, who utilises metal percussion and electronics to create mystical rhythmajik - and who is also known for his collaborations with hard-hitters such as Stephen O'Malley, Oren Ambarchi, Psychic TV, KK Null, Organum and many more. Two lengthy and exclusive tracks! Ltd x 1000 copies on marbled vinyl.
(2008) "Ramblack" is the follow up to Deadwood's successful 2005 album "8 19" (CSR53CD). Over the past 3 years this Swedish artist has been toiling away, creating a new black ambient / death noise masterpiece and "Ramblack" is the result. Cloaked in a more raw and morbid sound then its predecessor, this album truly changes ones perspective of audial darkness. This analogue beast of an album layers the tonal prayers of demons and the distorted cries of angels, sickness and depravity. True Death Electronics. The soundtrack to your end. "Ramblack" features guest vocals from Norwegian Black Metal legend Maniac (Skitliv, ex-Mayhem), whose vocal approach on the song 'Forakt' shows the full range of his capacity. Truly one of the most sick and twisted pieces of sonic art ever recorded. Enjoy the disease!

JEAN-LUC GUIONNET & SEIJIRO MURAYAMA - 'Le Bruit Du Toit' CD (Xing Wu)
(2007) 'Le Bruit Du Toit' is a rare meeting between two stalwarts of music - Seijiro Murayama, founding figure of numerous seminal avant-rock outfits during the 80s/90s such as Fushitsusha (on drums) and Absolut Null Punkt; and Jean-Luc Guionnet, a veteran and a revered artist in the musical constellation of sound art / composition and improvised music. This was their first and only time playing together, and a culmination of a series of unprecedented events (mostly seemingly banal and mundane) and musical possibilities that occurred before and during that meeting. Recorded at a Buddhist temple in Mishima. Digipak. Malaysian import.
(2007) "...Hamre's work has an ambience that always feels nautical. There is ever a sense of vast, oceanic space... [he] takes a minimalist approach to his typically lush (albeit delightfully creepy) soundscapes. The result reminds of works such as "Biosphere", with bits of Lustmord and K.K. Null thrown in for both ominous rhythm and outer darkness" [Lunar Hypnosis]. Vlad Jecan manages to combine distorted sonorities with profound calmness. Cosmic images placed in front of your eyes reflect the grey emotions lurking inside yourself. The music of an emotional paradox, depressing yet mirthful, distorted yet calm.

KK NULL - 'Akumu' CD (Vital)
(2008) Japanese experimental music legend KK Null tests his own limits onto the darkness and focuses all his artistic skills on creating a personal cinematic audio nightmare. "Akumu" is like being caught in a spider web that sticks and creeps to your skin, there is no escape... "Akumu" is a truly imaginative and terrifying electronic album that gives us a new and unique edge on sound master Kazuyuki Kishinos' universe. A dark masterpiece! Comes in a superb 6-panel digipak with artwork by Salt (Ant-Zen).
KK NULL - 'Discoteca Plasma' CD (Mindfield Records)
(2000) Rare CD from this prolific Japanese genius. As the title suggests, Null's direction at that time was subversively connected to the rhythms and patterns of dance music, where the exploration and deconstruction of the beat is realised not with drum machines and computer software, but with Nullsonic! - his own custom built machines and trademark techniques. Null generates and molds his sounds into the caustic, hypnotic pulsations of "Discoteca Plasma", creating a unique racket that will not only speak to the proverbial avant-garde / experimental scene, but also tweak responses from fans of techno.

KK NULL - 'Galactic Tornado' CD (Quasi Pop)
(2008) Deep, dense and dynamic electronic music. An unconditional, intuitive and highly emotional audio-work combining synthetic sounds from various synths and electronic machines with acoustic audio signals.

Recommended for listeners who prefer the contemporary experimental sound in its highest quality and for fans of “retro spacey” sound from the groups such as Popol Vuh, Cluster or even Tangerine Dream.

NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Arrow And The Wound' CD (Eibon Records)
Once again entering the deranged mindset of the jilted lover-turned-sexual predator, NTT is back with "The Arrow And The Wound", delivering the most absolutely brutish levels of misogyny yet and creating an atmosphere of emotional depravity where lust is confused with longing and love is intermingled with delirium. Power noise at its highest and most uncomfortable levels. Collecting material from various extremely limited releases, including a fantastic remix by SKM-ETR and collaborative input by Sickness, Fragment King, M Slagle, Unter Null, Maliks and Tim Spann of Abfall. Beautiful digifile with striking artwork.
Dark with laid back rhythms and sinister melodies whirling around psychedelic samples and organic drumming. Experimental post-modern ambient rock with a touch of Scorn, Meat Beat Manifesto and Godflesh - but not so heavy. More open, transparent and psychedelic and with ambient and acoustic sidesteps. This album features 'Signia' remixes by Burp, Chris Wood, DJ Surgeon, Eraldo Bernocchi, KK Null, Moshang, P.C.M., Psychedelic Desert, Richard Dunlap and Wodan. Slovenian import.
