Inspired by and a tribute to A. Tarkovsky's movie "Stalker" (1979). Stalker is an elaborate puzzle. Its pieces are always scattered, and the listener is relied upon to bring the final element of the puzzle along with him. Stalker invites you to get carried away into your own thoughts, flowing with the images as it provides new questions to ponder. In that sense, the album is very much like a philosophical poem: a very simple surface covering innumerable layers of meaning. One long ride in a cart, with clunking metal and water-whooshing sounds. Altogether fascinating and hypnotic. "Welcome to your Self, an alien place guarded by barbed wire". Ltd x 500 copies in foldout sleeve. Ukrainian import.

SEKTOR 304 - 'Subliminal Actions' CD (Malignant Records)
The follow-up to the highly acclaimed "Soul Cleansing" CD finds Portugal's Sektor 304 expanding on all aspects of their debut, once again channeling the essence of the old school guardians (Test Dept, SPK, Crash Worship), while simultaneously exploring new, uncharted territory. "Subliminal Actions" unleashes a cacophonous whirlwind of buzz saw grind, loops, power tools, and scraping, junk metal debris, clashing head on with assertive tribal percussion, clanging oil barrel rhythms, and industrial clamor resonating over a sprawling, post-apocalyptic wasteland. " Subliminal Actions" not only compliments "Soul Cleansing", but takes the Sektor 304 sound to new heights. A delivering yet striking record sure to solidify their standing as one of premier, truly industrial acts in operation today. 6 panel digipak, mastered by James Plotkin.
