BODYCHOKE - 'Cold River Songs' CD (Relapse Records)
Formed by members of Sutcliffe Jügend and Whitehouse, Bodychoke was a noisy rock anomaly as powerful and provocative as its name would suggest. Their material was dark, violent, strangely hypnotic and defied categorisation. The band's long out-of-print final album, the bleak and depressing creative apex known as 'Cold River Songs', is now available once again. This unheralded classic has been given the deluxe treatment; the album is remastered to include 3 bonus tracks and repackaged to include first-ever printing of the bands incendiary lyrics. Criminally underrated and underexposed, 'Cold River Songs' is as intense and ground-breaking as you'd expect from a band of legendary industrial / noise / power electronics pioneers.

BRION GYSIN - 'Live In London 1982' CD (Sub Rosa)
"Live In London 1982" is the Beat Generation revamped. Recorded in Brixton four years before the death of Beat legend, this live set features Gysin reciting poems from the late '50s and early '60s, accompanied by a makeshift no wave backing band consisting of Slits bassist Tessa Pollitt (also on cello), Rip Rig Panic, drummer Steve Noble, Penguin Cafe Orchestra percussionist Gile and guitarist Ramuntcho Matta. Most of the texts were written upon meeting Burroughs, at the time of the invention of the cut-up. The influence that Brion Gysin has had on contemporary music may never be taken fully into account. The music is resolutely avant rock: dissonant, provocative, and largely improvised. Gysin called this session "White Funk". Live in London 1982 is an interesting document, which will appeal to connoisseurs of William S. Burroughs and Brion Gysin's legacy.

COCK E.S.P. / OVO - 'Split' 7" (Apop Records / Little Mafia / Bar La Muerte / Bastardised / Carbon Records / 8mm Records)
Italy's Ovo create fierce and pounding post-rock featuring heavy injections of noise, free jazz and seminal no-wave. The duo features talented multi-instrumentalist Bruno Dorella and Stefania Pedretti (whispers, banshee wails and brutal death metal roars), with guest appearances from Daniele Brusaschetto, Jacopo Andreini and Capoccia. In addition to their usual harsh electronic noise and ranting vocals, America's Cock E.S.P.'s tracks also feature delicate experimental soundscapes and even some beats. Alexandra Kohl makes a guest appearance. Ltd x 500 copies.
Ex.Order disrupt your synapses with "Corporate Control". Ten new tracks of an immensely raw sonic and violent aesthetic, constructed through dark throbbing machine noises, crushing rhythmic layers and vocals. Highly explosive heavy electronics, uncompromising and provocative both sonically and visually. An unforgiving tour de force capturing the perfection of disorder. The absolute response to the nightmare that is the world we live in. Ex.Order is the Power Electronics alter-ago of Inade.

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.

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Daas' CD (Cold Spring CSR128CD)
The tracks on "Daas" have been carefully picked to form a provoking, haunting journey. What the tracks have in common is a sense of nostalgic graininess. As with the music of Philip Jeck, The Caretaker or William Basinski, these tracks are full of degrading melodies and dusty ambience. 'Daas' is the previously unreleased opening track of the album, and features contributions by the great Richard Skelton. 'Flotter', 'Koploop' and 'Grom' were previously available on small run self released EPs, while 'Onkruid' was a track previously released on 'A Room Forever', as an expensive and extremely limited 12" boxset. All are now brought to a wider audience. Presented in a matt laminate digipak.

MILITIA - 'Power, Propaganda, Productions!' CD Boxset (Neuropa)
The six famous muscle workers from Belgium have not only unleashed a new production following their 2005 album “Everything Is One”, but have also set a new milestone in their long-running industrial career. The album contains 11 new studio tracks dealing with the very topics Militia has always been pointing at during their provocative career. Most of the percussion instruments are made out of oil barrels and old metal parts from cars and machines. They combine these self made instruments with conventional drums, toms and cymbals. The band members also play a variety of self-made wind instruments and tools. Comes in a deluxe cardboard box with an 8-page booklet and a magnificent Militiapolitburo mini-poster, all designed by Metastazis from France.

NEKRASOV / ONDO - 'Nekrasov / Ondo' LP (Peasant Magik)
Long delayed split between Sweden's Ondo and Australia's Nekrasov finally sees the light of day! The three tracks presented here by Ondo are masterfully constructed from tangled strings, industrial clatter, wordless whispers and menace. On the flip side, Nekrasov offers 19 minutes of his trademark black-drone, which trudges along at an almost "Salt Marie Celeste" pace. Crumbling distortion is meticulously smeared against a backdrop of churning low end filth until all is lost in one ominous drone. Full colour jacket and insert by Joce of L'industrie Chimere Noire and mastered by William Hutson. Ltd x 300 copies on 180g vinyl. Few copies in stock - ACT FAST!

"Verdigris" was released on the 37th anniversary of the murders as a commemoration of sorts. The focus of this record is on the two victims Kathleen Marie Bechtel & Vicki Louise Fawcett.

SKIN AREA - 'Rothko Field' CD (Malignant Records)
3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following two albums on Cold Meat Industry. Like previous works, "Rothko Field" is a visceral auditory experience... mind bending and turbulent sonic explorations that are grainy, abstract and tense, where uneasy frequencies intersect with caustic drones, insectile buzz, swelling drifts, and slow motion, percussion driven sludgery. "Rothko Field" is more structured than in the past, coming off as both spacious and yet suffocatingly claustrophobic, suggestive of a spiral downwards into mental decay and degradation, and further enhanced by Martin's uniquely distressed and provocative vocalizations. 9 tracks in total, broken into two "mirrored parts", with track 5, "Void" acting as the actual mirror itself. Digipak with 24-page booklet.
If you've ever wanted a record with minimal, spacious recordings from the depths of hell, in Siberia, then the 1st side of this record is for you. Like Satan's breath curling through a crumbling church at 3 0'clock in the morning. Sinister. More fetid noise from Iversen. Scorched cortex industrial ambience. Someone dragging heavy sheets of cold steel through the soft mush formerly known as your brain. I'd say if you like thought provoking Power Electronics and post music then give this inspired wax a try. Ltd x 500 copies.
