BEEQUEEN - 'Time Waits For No One' CD (Herbal International)
Reissue of this 1994 CD from Beequeen, (Staalplaat, Ltd 1000). "Frans de Waard and Freek Kinkelaar convey many alternatively bleak, if imagistic, soundscapes... drones of catatonia immersed in cryogenic guitar feedback or the steamy smelt of arcane industry. Atonal occasionally, even unearthly, yet strangely accessible, these works are part of an aesthetic wherein the forging of an unfamiliar sound canvas becomes the springboard from which the listener can extract pictures, panoramas, shapes... Engrossing music that subtly leaves the impression to come back and experience it further." (The Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digifile. Malaysian import.

DEUTSCH NEPAL - 'Erosion' CD (Autarkeia)
Probably the most depressing Deutsch Nepal album, earlier released as a limited edition by Staalplaat (1999), now with new artwork. Genial project author Der General remarked sometime ago that during the recording of "Erosion" there persisted the feeling that this was the last work of Deutsch Nepal after which nothing will remain... perhaps only death. This almost came true as Deutsch Nepal went silent after the recording for nearly 10 years. Now the masterpiece of melancholy clad in an elegant digipak and with an enhanced sound triumphantly opens the golden worlds to the audience again.
The genial album "Tolerance" is one more golden deja vu of industrial culture, originally released by Staalplaat (1994). The new release of this cult album enjoys an enhanced sound and a new package design from the author Lina Baby Doll. Those who do not know Lina Baby Doll’s masterpieces, should be informed that "Tolerance" is an artefact of the early stage of Deutsch Nepal's music. The period is characterised by ritual tribal rhythms, mesmerising loops and indeed suggestive psychedelic atmospheres. Digipak.
INANNA - 'Day Ov Torment' CD (Cold Spring CSR71CD)
Reissue of the massive Death Industrial album from this ARCHON SATANI side-project, originally issued by Staalplaat in 1993. INANNA were at the forefront of a new force in Doom Ambience way back in the early '90s. This is stunningly re-mastered and re-packaged album brings alive one of the classic scene albums - a milestone in ultra grim and crushing death sonics, that paved the way for many Drone and Ritual Industrial bands around today. Mixed by J Havukainen (IN SLAUGHTER NATIVES).

MUSLIMGAUZE - 'Lazhareem Ul Leper' CD (Staalplaat)
The music on "Lazhareem Ul Leper" ranges from percussion instruments to atypical electronics and the skillful de-construction of ethno-traditional music. Stylistically Lazhareem straddles the line between ethno-electro releases like Silknoose for its pervasive use of Indo-Pak music melded with Persian and Mid-East; along with more Industrial releases like Izlamaphobia and Blue Mosque for its occasionally tight, near-mechanical loops. Since 1995, the masters for Lazhareem Ul Leper languished in Staalplaat's vaults when it should have been put out for immediate appreciation by fans. This work of art is now available on CD, and not a moment too soon! Ltd x 700 copies in a digipak.

PETER REHBERG - 'Kapotte Muziek By Peter Rehberg' MCD (Korm Plastics)
The fourteenth installment in this series is a mini CD by Peter Rehberg (Pita / KTL). For his rework, Rehberg used the recordings of the very first Kapotte Muziek workshop (and concert) held in september 1997, as part of Staalplaat's 'Masterclass' event at the Korzo Theatre, in Den Haag. Moving away from digital computer noise for this work, Rehberg crafted a beautifully soft but outspoken piece of music. Low rumbles at micro levels and moments of silence are interspersed with isolated throbs and shimmering mid-frequency drones. A total playing time of 17:30.
THE HAFLER TRIO - 'Dislocation' CD (Korm Plastics)

ZBIGNIEW KARKOWSKI & TETSUO FURUDATE - 'World As Will IV' CD (OHM Records)
"IV" in the 'World As Will' series ("III" Sub Rosa, "II' 23five, "I" Staalplaat). "‘World As Will’ is a work in which Zbigniew Karkowski and Tetsuo Furudate combine orchestral music with computer music - read: noise. At the basis here lie two performances, one for sax, trombone, flute and sine waves and the other for a small ensemble called Sonic Boom. These recordings are slaughtered by the composers during a concert in Tokyo and turned into a racket of noise. Another heavy weight release, with lots of cascading noise samples of orchestral origin spliced on the spot together, fed through the lions of granular synthesis - and who knows what else. Its however in the power of these hands that they know, somewhere in the middle how to pull back and go deeper and deeper into what seems to be the crackling of surfaces with contact microphones, before returning to the world of crashing noise and only to return once more to that somewhat dark underworld, going back up after for a cascading finale. Noise indeed and perhaps I should have left this in the capable hands of Jliat, but this is actually noise of the more intelligent kind" (Vital Weekly). Limited to just 200 copies in a digipak!
