Released 1996 in an edition of 750 copies, "Ephemeral Dawn" is finally available again - now presented in a digipak with booklet. Brilliant brain numbing Power Electronics from this infamous German act. Sixty-four minutes of thick electronics, droning waves, distant echoing vocals, subtle rhythmic loops, rumbling basses and some higher piercing frequencies.

''Noehaem'' combines dark, nihilistic sound sculptures with intense rhythm structures and absolute noise terror!

APOPTOSE - 'Schattenmadchen' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Schattenmädchen ("shadow girl") has always been around, waiting patiently for seven years to step out of the shadows and reveal its face. Apoptose's third album explores dystopian locations: the undergrounds of Japanese megacities, the depths of worldwide data highways, the nightmares of little children. The 7 tracks express images of a desolate and dying world, far removed from the solitude of the beloved Northern woods. A world lacking daylight and oxygen. A bleak vision of reality. Over the years, several of these tracks made their way to compilation CDs and have now been rejuvenated and renamed especially for the unique listening experience of "Schattenmädchen". Features Kenji Siratori on 3 tracks. Housed in an embossed 6-panel digifile with booklet.
CONTRASTATE - 'A Live Coal Under The Ashes' CD (Tesco Organisation)
1992 saw the release of “A live coal under the ashes”, which was inspired by the events leading up to the changes across Eastern and Central Europe during 1989. This release marked the change conceptually in which the group’s ideas became more specific and more focused on contemporary political issues. Finally available again after many years, with remastered tracks and a new, unreleased track called: “Death follows the one eyed cow”. An album full of ambient atmospheres, drones, percussion, suitable dark narrations and some steady muted rhythms. These are intense, highly charged recordings with a powerful mystic and ritual feeling. A masterpiece of sound poetry. Comes in nice digipak.

CRUELTY CAMPAIGN - 'Distressed Signals' CD (Tesco Organisation)
US-based Cruelty Campaign utilises site recordings, found sounds, and interviews to create musical atmospheres and harsh soundscapes that are both beautiful and disquieting. Their diverse pallette draws upon the overlooked and the extraordinary... the creaking of docks in Stockholm, a domestic argument in Berlin, the clattering of an escalator, and even the humming and clicking of Roger "Cold Meat Industry" Karmanik's refrigerator. The cinematic quality of their music is a logical extension of their day jobs - Scott creates digital visual FX for movies, and John produces documentaries on old movie stars for cable television. Digipak.
GALERIE SCHALLSCHUTZ - 'H.A.A.R.P.' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Based on a US military project referred to as HAARP ([High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) near Gakona, Alaska, the material on Galerie Schallschutz's debut album is composed of extended structures that usually evolve from and into pulsating frequency patterns and deep enveloping patterns of noise. Crisp production and a subtle use of the stereo spectrum is used throughout. Presented in a super jewelbox.
GALERIE SCHALLSCHUTZ - 'Montauk Project' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Galerie Schallschutz delivers another superior release with strong thematic content. "Montauk Project," also called the "Phoenix Project" during some of its phases, was a covert government operation that took place during the '70s and early '80s at an abandoned Air Force radar base in Long Island, New York. Much evidence has surfaced indicating that the base and the subterranean facilities were (and still are) used for top secret, ultra-classified research and experimentation into inter-dimensional technology, quantum and particle physics, black hole simulation, electro-magnetic fields, weather control, psychotronics, particle beam technology (HAARP transmissions), and mind control. Galerie Schallschutz provide you with the perfect soundtrack to go further into this secret world. Presented in a special 6-panel DVD digipak with hologram sticker.
GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'In-Konflikt' CD (Tesco Organisation)
First full-length studio album from G.O. since "The Truth Will Make You Free" was released in 1999. These 11 new tracks reflect the development of the band during the last five years - a mixture that ranges from industrial and power electronics to the dark, depressive, ambient-noise outbursts for which Genocide Organ is known. G.O. doesn't reflect concrete events of any particular nature - this is an abstract questioning of everything with anything - a call to action that ends in a waste of energy - a call for a movement that is a waste of time - a nihilistic, pessimistic worldview that leads somewhere. We all just fill space and are part of "In-Konflikt". Presented in a debossed digipak with booklet.
GENOCIDE ORGAN - 'Remember' 2 x CD (Tesco Organisation)
The 10th anniversary of “Remember” sees its re-release, containing an extra of 50 minutes of live material (total time: 139 minutes). This gives an oversight of G.O. performances from the very beginning until the year 2000. Powerful, provocative and subversive Industrial, Noise and Power Electronics. All material was remastered for this release by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol) and the artwork is completely overworked, now presented in a stunning silver-embossed, gatefold hardcover with booklet.
ISOMER is the solo project of Australian David Tonkin, and 'Serpent Age' heralds a new stage in the project's progression, taking a decidedly more dark ambient approach than previous outings. It is a focusing and culmination of past work. The project began as personal studies of the hidden; the dark underbelly of perfection; the beauty in decay; the boundless capacity of humankind for self-deceit. ‘Serpent Age’ is an album airing personal beliefs and passions. The Serpent has appeared in many guises throughout history and in a myriad of cultures. It represents deceit for some, wisdom for others. 'Serpent Age' hails this creature as a seal of personal strength and focus. Direction, endurance, fortitude. Digipak.
"Zero Lounge" is the follow-up to "Serpent Age," the highly-acclaimed first CD by Australian artist David Tonkin, the man behind Isomer. Isomer does not remain in the field of dark rhythmic ambience; with the second release it explores new fields. This CD brings a blend mixture of classical industrial elements, power electronic noises and ritual soundscapes. It still has its very own touch and varies in style, but never loses the thin red lead of an extraordinary brilliance in recording. Outsized gatefold sleeve with insert.
JANITOR - 'Qoumran 4-Ever' CD (Tesco Organisation)
This is Janitor's 3rd full-length release. The two masterminds Lina Baby Doll (aka Peter Andersson of Deutsch Nepal) and Benny Nilsen (Hazard) got together again to produce an outstanding mix of rhythms, industrial elektronic soundscapes and romantic tunes. With the distinct voice of Lina Baby Doll, this is a sentimental journey into their world of weirdness. After years of contemplation and research in the monastery caves of Qoumran, Nilsen and LBD found the hidden treasures they were looking for. The dry wind as a tapestry of sand in an elektronic desert, structures and ornaments hidden in the storm of Saudi. Another surprising release from the Swedish duo, presented in a digipak.
JANITOR - 'Receiving A Flower On A Mother's Day' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Janitor is a project of Lina Baby Doll (Deutsch Nepal) and the Grandmaster of cold audio - Benni Nilsen (Morthond/Hazard). They packed their equipment into an old house in the woods, far from every drop of alcohol and other civilisation, the results came fast - "Receiving a flower on Mother´s Day" is a mixture of dark sound-scapes, futuristic psychedelia and Industrial music. As always, these two always working consciously to develop the post-industrial style and sound, form and theme, this CD is a documentary of that. Nice digipak.

LAND:FIRE - 'Physical : Mental : Psychological' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Land:Fire is the more clinical technical project of Henry Emich and Frank Merten, the men behind Herbst9. Land:Fire produce ritual technical ambient music, if this is possible. Sound layers of real brilliance which leave no room for a way back to archaic orchestration. This album is a documentation and a reflection of the historical instant of 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16. 1945 when the first atomic device, "Trinity", detonated. Comes in a nice double foldout DVD digipak with extensive booklet.
LAST DOMINION LOST - 'The Tyranny Of Distance' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Project by two former members of SPK! Multi-talented man John Murphy (KnifeLadder / ex-SPK and live member of DEATH IN JUNE) made these recordings with Dominik Guerin in Australia in the early 90s. The music is more or less a follow up to classical SPK - music like "Leichenschrei", hard aggressive screams rhythms and noiseloops with partly an tribal touch, all produced with old analog equipment, if there is a music to be labelled "old school" than here it is! Definitely something that closes a gap!!
"Raspad" (Russian for disintegration-zerfall) is the third full length album by Post Scriptvm. Dense, thickly-layered industrial ambient music, exploring the abysmal pathology of modernity - illusion of progress, dissolution of memory, abandonment of higher meaning and paralysis of the will - the advanced lethargy of human spirit. The rich structure of music plays subtle tricks on the listener's subconsciousness and the mood slowly drifts from quiet melancholy to visceral intensity. An example on how to use analogue and digital equipment in creating a special way of sound. Mastered by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol) and presented in a digipak.

THROBBING GRISTLE - 'Dimensia In Excelcis' LP (Tesco Organisation)
Slightly damaged return from a retail distributor. Though the insert is perfect and vinyl is mint and unplayed, each spine has a rip between 1" and 3"s long. The tear is only along the spine. Though this is now a rare item, I can't sell these for the true value due to the (albeit slight) damage, so they are listed here at a special rate. They also don't have the limited enamel badge that came with the initial vinyl. "LP release of one of the last ever live shows TG performed - 22nd May 19981 at the Veterens Auditorium, Los Angeles, USA - just a few days before the legendary MISSION OF DEAD SOULS album was recorded. A great show - extremely heavy in places with Gen going barmy on the vocals. Track listing: 'Dimensia', 'Scorched Earth', 'Tangible', 'Carnality', 'Marriage Carriage', 'Still Walking', 'Slam', 'Principia Discordia' and 'Forbidden'."

URE THRALL - 'Arabian Nightmares' CD (Tesco Organisation)
"Arabian Knightmares" is one man's effort to reflect the unfolding events of the current worldwide sectarian war in a series of harmonic constructs, utilising actual sounds from the major events of the struggle (9/11, the Iraq War, etc.) to provide a historic point of reference. The forlorn yet beautiful emotions that are unmistakable in Muslim song and prayer are reflected here in a context so unique that it is deeply stirring in a musical sense and simultaneously brutal with its emotional impact on the listener. Guest appearances from 23 Skidoo, Ferrara (Brain) Pan and The Fruitless Hand. Comes in a special die-cut card box folder with 8 postcards.
