ANEMONE TUBE - 'Death Over China' CD (Silken Tofu / Topheth Prophet)
"Death over China" is a retaliation of nature against mankind. It is also a dedication to our untamed curiosity for the essence of death and our secret death wish. In China`s uncompromising economical and social development we see demonstrated, how we - even with the immolation of our health, environment and tradition - are the servants to material progress. Though we are aware of the approaching ecological disaster, we hazard the consequences. Sustainability is sacrificed on the altar of egoist quest for happiness. We consume, we destroy, we thrive, we conjure. Using field recordings, collected in Nanjing and Shanghai,, Anemone Tube creates an unsettling yet intriguing, apocalyptic soundtrack with a sinister atmosphere and a depressive undertone - a unique blend of dark ambient, post industrial and power electronics. Mastered by James Plotkin. Ltd x 731 hand-numbered copies in an A5 10-panel folder with black & gold print.

MACHINIST NOISE ASSAULT - 'Self Help' CD (Silken Tofu)
'Self Help' is the first official album by Machinist Noise Assault, culminating after years of dabbling with different styles of drone, noise, and industrial since its inception in 1998. Lyrically, 'Self Help' is a scornful examination of various forms of self abuse / neglect, and severe internal struggle based around the concept of one being one's own worst enemy. Sonically, expect to hear densely layered Power Electronics, standing out from the usual 'Set it and forget it'-style of its peers with less focus being applied to outright abrasiveness, and more being put on texture, development, and atmospheric elements. Mastered by Thomas Garrison (Control). Ltd x 300 copies in a 7" gatefold black card folder with silver print.
