Presenting a new side of Grunt, this album contains no harsh noise, but is an innovative mixture of fierce power electronics with echoes of early 80s Ramleh and Sutcliffe Jügend, mixed with experimental organic noise influences a'la Organum, Ferial Confine, to heavy dominant euro PE/industrial attacks to rhythmic elements and metal percussion linking towards Vivenza, Test Dept. and Militia. Exclusively Finnish language lyrics and samples, with themes related to the history of Finland since early turbulent years of civil war to post WWII atmosphere. 64 minutes with 9 songs presenting wide variety of moods, sound sources, compositions, approaches, blended into album that could be said to be unique, even in the extensive Grunt discography!

RAMLEH - 'Switch Hitter / The Machines Of Infinite Joy' 10" (Black Rose Recordings / Broken Flag)
The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their energy, excitement and ability to explore all possibilities. A very welcome return for Anthony Di Franco (Novatron, ex-Skullflower), Gary Mundy (Toll, ex-Skullflower). Presented in a j-card sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies. ACT FAST!

RAMLEH - 'Valediction' CD (Second Layer Records)
"Valediction" is the first all new Ramleh album since 1997, and the first new Power Electronics recordings from the project for 25 years. And yet "Valediction" is no ordinary power electronics record, nor is it anything as straightforward as simply a return to their roots. "Valediction" is very much an entity of its own - both consolidating and expanding upon everything Ramleh have touched on in the past, but also digging into entirely fresh ground for the band. "Valediction" is, perhaps, Ramleh's most bleakly psychedelic creation so far. Ltd x 1000 copies in a gatefold sleeve with 8 page booklet containing photos and cut-up lyrics from some of the tracks.

TOLL - 'Christ Knows' CD (Cold Spring CSR66CD)
Cold Spring are very proud to re-issue the legendary LP released by Broken Flag in 1986, now for the first time on CD. Formed in October 1984 from the ashes of Ramleh. The membership was shifting, though focused around two members (Gary Mundy and Matthew Frith) and included contributions from several friends around the world. Featuring Tim Gane (Stereolab), Paul Lemos (Controlled Bleeding) and Pacific 231. This completely remastered disc features the complete 'Christ Knows' LP plus 3 previously unreleased bonus tracks. Classic old-school British Industrial.
"Ultra were one of the shadiest of the post-Industrial avant-experimental groups, with next to nada available in terms of info and a deliberately cryptic/parodic stance. They were in fact the brainchild of Jon Carlson with contributions from Christoph Heemann and Achim P Li Khan of HNAS, inspired in part by their response to the early Whitehouse and Come Org releases. But in their attempt to lampoon and amplify the urges behind the most transgressive Industrial noise they went well beyond the remit, birthing a form of subtly psychedelic avant garde that is as beautiful as it is hilarious... hazy drone sunsets that are pure Mirror, elegiac avant piano instrumentals and great barracking Industrial/rock assaults in the mode of Whitehouse/Ramleh. The schizophrenic atmosphere makes for the perfect confusion, lurching from fizzy, melancholy tone-poems to fists full of Industrial brutalism. This deluxe double LP reissue restores their classic 1997 Roman Holiday album complete with additional stray singles and a bonus 7” featuring unreleased material from the Zoll sessions..." (David Keenan). Highly recommended." Ltd x 400 copies on black vinyl.
