BAD SECTOR - 'CMASA' CD (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
In 2005 Massimo Magrini was invited to provide a soundtrack for the M3M art exhibition in Pisa, Italy. The exhibition was based around images of the seaside and river estuary of Pisana area with CMASA airplane factory built there in it's centre. The marvelous seaside scenery mixed with vintage industrial locations, created an unexpected but amazing, nostalgic mood. To sculpture a soundtrack of this scenery Magrini also added treated piano, snippets of acoustic guitars, water sounds and metal samples. This may sound unusual for a BAD SECTOR release but all those new elements are perfectly blended into massive and ambient soundwaves, making CMASA probably the most emotional album of Massimo Magrini to date. All initial exhibition sounds where regenerated, remastered and re-assembled during 2007-2009. Digipak.
3rd edition of the classic Bad Sector release (Soffitta Macabra 1998, Membrum Debile Propaganda 2000). Harmonic, noisy, emotional electronic tracks set the trademark sound of the one-man Dark Ambient project from Tuscany. Besides heavily modified, commercial synthesizers, a small set of samples of an echocardiogram machine was used as an additional sound source. This Russian edition includes an unreleased bonus track. Ltd x 500 copies in a special outsize package with inserts.
This is Bain Wolfkind's fourth release on Hau Ruck! under this moniker. This release finds Bain Wolfkind treading a similar path to previous releases, only this time much darker, autobiographical, tragic and southern than ever before! Purely a solo 'back to basics' release with guitar, organ, tambourine, maracas, voice and nothin' much else. Think Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Steve Young, Hank Williams and Michael Gira in a Mexican flophouse with a cheap guitar, a case of tequila and a tape machine. Digifile.
BAND OF PAIN - 'Sacred Flesh O.S.T.' CD (Cold Spring CSR33CD)
The soundtrack was written by Steve Pittis' Band Of Pain, creating a very dark, brooding atmosphere to compliment Nigel Wingrove's film. Originally with a 16-page booklet depicting explicit scenes from the film, pressure from the distributors forced the artwork into a revised 4-page version. Sacred Flesh is dark journey into realms of mental anguish and repression; a very Black Ambient soundtrack. This is Band Of Pain working in the medium to which its most suited. An incredible album with massive demand from both film and music distributors alike. 10 year anniversary edition of 666 copies!

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Noosphere' CD (Monochrome Vision)
This soundpiece is pure improvisation by Russian artist Igor Potsukailo (Bardoseneticcube) and a laptop, dealing with theory of Russian scientist Vladimir Vernadsky about collective consciousness, emerging from the interaction of human minds. The continuous computer-generated music, minimally changing but reaching maximum concentration, comes as the one long track, designed for your mind challenge. Potsukailo uses a kind of feedback circuit, adding the elements of human presence into this music and modifying the energy / information balance in that powerful field near planet Earth called 'Noosphere'.

BASIL POLEDOURIS - 'Conan The Barbarian O.S.T.' CD (Editions Milan Music)
This early '80s sword-and-steroids epic by writer /director John Milius is notable for making a bankable action-star of Arnold Schwarzenegger and cementing the reputation of film composer Basil Poledouris (Iron Eagle, Robocop, Hunt For Red October, Starship Troopers). A dream assignment for a young composer eager to showcase the range his skills, the lusty Conan score hearkens back to the '30s heyday of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's unabashed Euro-classicism, but with enough modern rhythmic and percussive flourishes to satisfy the modern listener. Buyer beware - this music is not intended for rush hour commute listening, and we will not be held liable for the carnage such exposure might inspire!
"Loss" is not about the violent moment of loss, but its aftermath. The crushing melancholia, the endless questions of “what if?” and “why?”, as well as the concepts of regret, missed opportunity, or a feeling or moment in time that can never be recaptured. But even in the midst of this gloomy scene, hope and light are born, for loss is never total. Memory lingers, a residue of evidence is left behind, and life goes on. “For me, the album is an extension of the previous release, Ghosts on Magnetic Tape, which relates to Electronic Voice Phenomena, or the idea that the dead can still communicate with the living world through recorded media. In order to try to capture this feeling I wanted the music to leave a spectral, ghostly impression, and to have an organic decaying quality, like something trying to break through from another world. To this end my musical sources were mainly 78 rpm records, a vibraphone and an upright piano. No synths or electronics were used, only organic sources or instrumentation that has been around for at least the last century.” Stunning full-colour picture disc, pressed in an edition of 500 copies only!

BASTARD NOISE - 'Our Earth's Blood, IV' 5 x CD Set (Cathartic Process)
First conceived in 1999, and intensively honed over the past four years, "Our Earth’s Blood, IV" is finally realized. Bastard Noise, aided by over two dozen artists from all over the world, have reached a true pinnacle with this brand new full-length release. Bastard Noise started alongside its power violence personality, Man Is The Bastard, in 1991.

This release encapsulates the "Our Earth’s Blood" tradition of over 15 years.

BASTARD NOISE with SIKHARA - 'Tukano Khalkha' CD (GLK / Radon)
In December 2003, Sikhara came together with Bastard Noise (Wood / Wiese / Nelson line-up) for a studio session in Valencia, California. The two groups each created the groundwork for a track, which the other played over the top of, for a sort of duality in the composition. BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations. Sikhara leant a sense of identity to the tracks with a series of vocal collages, invoking a story to accompany the harsh sound beds of BN. Surgically mixed by sonic architect Kamilsky. A masterpiece of Harsh Noise!

BEEHATCH - 'Beehatch' CD (Lens Records)
Beehatch is a project from Phil Western (Download, Plateau) and Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, ex-Zoviet France). The album was recorded in Los Angeles and England via internet file sharing. Far from being an impersonal way of making music, this technique has liberated the approach to the making of this album. The musicians were able to make music at leisure, in familiar environments. Phil and Mark have developed similarities in an approach to music making but in essence, Phil emerged smiling from the generation electronic and Mark slowly crept out of the distant days of four tracks and homemade instruments. Both are seasoned improvisers who started life as drummers and tend to ignore as many of the so-called 'rules of music making' as possible. Nothing is clear. Everything is possible.

BEEQUEEN - 'Gund' CD (Plinkity Plonk / Korm Plastics)
Two recordings from two vinyl projects. The first four pieces on the CD were recorded early 1998 for a 12" vinyl single on which these tracks were supposed to be cut at different speeds (16, 33, 45 and 78 RPM). Due to its complexity of pressing this record was never realised. The fifth and sixth track were originally intended to form a 10" album of a most unlikely meeting by Beequeen and MSBR. Based upon a mutual sound exchange, both Beequeen and MSBR worked independently on their pieces. The label that intended to release this, stopped while both bands were still recording. Beequeen finished their piece in 1998 and MSBR decided to do a new piece in 2001. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold sleeve.

Latest disc of blissed out soft focus dronemusic from this longtime aQ fave. After past collaborations with Lull as well as Aidan Baker, Lunar Monograph is the first disc we've head from BC on his own, and it's definitely a divine bit of ethereal and ephemeral drift. Field recordings are deftly woven into soft swirling shimmering tones, guitars are spidery and delicate, spinning crystalline webs of hushed melody... pealing tones, and barely there melodies, drifting weightlessly through a field of minimal effects, and slow shifting whirs, as well as some mysterious field recordings, that make the end of the record feel like you've just come out of a trance, and found yourself back in the real world, which is not all that far off the mark.

This is a reissue of debut release from this Belgian act. The creator, Stijn Van Cauter, characterises his musical style as massive nihilistic funeral doom and writes: "Beyond Black Void was founded mid-2002 in an attempt to create oppressive, minimalistic and very desolate music." The desolation is portrayed through long echoing guitars and heavy droning storms. Over an hour of the heaviest and most nihilistic in drone / funeral / ambient doom. The re-release features the same 3 massive tracks but with improved sound quality and completely remastered. Limited edition in a textured slipcase.
The debut release on this Polish label comes from two well-known Swedish acts: Beyond Sensory Experience and Moljebka Pvlse. Both bands were invited in April 2008 to play a concert in Zielona Góra, Poland. After the concert the two bands joined together on stage and recorded the raw material for this release. This material was then taken to chilly Stockholm and reworked by the artists.

BIRCH BOOK - 'Fortune & Folly' LP (Ahnstern / Steinklang)
This classic Folk milestone was recorded on San Juan Island of the Pacific Northwest. "Fortune & Folly" is the fitting second volume of Birch Book (aka In Gowan Ring).

Drifting away from the overtly psychedelic, medieval, and soporific atmosphere which typified In Gowan Ring, Bee (Jon Michael Beirth) displays a more organic, individualistic approach to songwriting. Fortune & Folly blends elements of idiosyncratic folk-pop and outcast-country with brooding layers of sound and sense, yielding a spectral ethereality in a captivating chiaroscuro thick with the visionary allusions of a haunted wanderer.

BLACK BONED ANGEL - 'The Endless Coming Into Life' CD (20 Buck Spin)
New Zealander Campbell Kneale, of prolific one-man bliss drone project Birchville Cat Motel, returns to his metallic alter-ego Black Boned Angel. Both projects chase a similar idea from different ends of the spectrum. This work is perhaps Kneale’s most obvious combination of the extreme minimalism of his ambient tendencies and the extreme maximalism of his forays into the center of the subterranean metal guitar riff. The album first lulls one into a meditative state of relative calm before plummeting into the chasm created by the vibrations of a single, snarling riff so heavy it could rip a hole in the heavens. Consisting of a sole one-hour track, "The Endless Coming Into Life" sits comfortably alongside the darker end of Kneale’s ever-growing catalogue of work dedicated to finding the light (or dark) source of the universal drone. Digipak with spot varnishing.

BHN is the work of sole composer, artist and producer Oliver Barrett, working in the live spectrum as a septet. Presented in a digipak with the new and exclusive bonus track 'Blueskywards'. We can't recommend this highly enough!

Over the years many bands from the Industrial / Neofolk spectrum have collaborated with Croatian artist Bleiburg. Here, for the first time, those alliances are collected together in a double CD set.

Blind Cave Salamander is a project by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (ex-Larsen) and Paul Beauchamp, backed up by sound designer, producer and engineer, Marco Milanesio, and legendary cello player Julia Kent.

With their 2nd album, BIind Cave Salamander unravel shadowy, nocturnal landscapes, into lush, bucolic soundscapes. "Troglobite" also features experimentalist Michael Begg (Fovea Hex, Human Greed) as well as Little Annie's pianist Paul Wallfisch. 6-panel digipak.

The first release on this Belgian label is a single-sided , 20-minute 12" from Blindhæd. Abstract, musique concrete and experimental sounds, citing their influences as Lull, Asmus Tietchens, Phill Niblock etc. "The slight metallic rumble, the same subaquatic sound processing, the debris of contact microphone rumble. It seems to be dealing less with field recordings, and more with the electronic layering of various concrete actions and sounds, which shift along each other in quite an intelligent way. One can sense that there is quite some time and effort in this piece, since it flows subtle and moves into various different textures" (Vital Weekly).

BLOOD AXIS - 'Born Again' CD (Storm)
Over the course of the 12 tracks which comprise their 2nd album, "Born Again", Blood Axis explores an epic yet human universe in which gods are summoned, kingdoms rise, riddles are unlocked, love is lost, and worlds crumble. Whereas early Blood Axis music was marked by keyboards and samples, Blood Axis in 2010 is stripped down to an essential core of natural instrumentation - electric and acoustic strings, melodeon, piano, highland bagpipes and Galician gaita, marching percussion, the mysterious Annabel-a-tron, and Bobby BeauSoleil's growling, prison-vintage guitar eruptions circa 1976. Underpinning the album and propelling much of the music is the traditional Irish bodhrán, recorded here with unprecedented power. Moynihan's ominous voice is well matched by Annabel Lee's elfin intonations, just as her violin finds a perfect counterpoint in Robert Ferbrache's protean guitar parts. Shot through by myth and romance, the expressive lyrics on "Born Again" have their roots in ancient and modern poetry, archaic invocations and tragic laments. Both unclassifiable and unforgettable: neither folk nor rock, traditional nor avant-garde, modern nor archaic, it is simply Blood Axis. To everything there is season. For those who are cursed, a time to die and to be forgotten. And for the blessed, a time to be born again: to live on, beyond death, in the minds of men. Now is the time for Blood Axis to be Born Again. Packaged in a beautiful gatefold outsize cover with foilblock lettering and a 24-page booklet.

BOCKSHOLM - 'Rinna Leathercluster Liveaction 2008' CD (Autarkeia)
Lina Baby Doll (Deutsch Nepal) and Peter Andersson (Raison D’etre) play havoc again. In the beginning there was a very drunken gig that resulted in a very drunken album. Since seas of beer are the most favourable condition for the records and gigs of these Swedish blokes, the concert in Malmö is simply perfect. Bearing in mind the reputation of these well-know masters of havoc, no wonder that this record is dominated by remarkable, powerful industrial rhythms, outbursts of psychedelic ambient, intoxicated, gargling vocals, sombre and dismal atmosphere transfused by alcoholic delirium, alcoholic despair and alcoholic hysteria that has only one culprit... No, it is not the alcohol, but this isolated, remote Swedish provincial town Boxholm with its fauna and polluted nature that had such a heavy impact on the childhood of these alcohol addicts. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
BOCKSHOLM - 'The Haunting Curse Of Skogs-Sara’ CD (Wrotycz)
The third terror attack by Bocksholm is now here. After two successful albums, Bocksholm now turns to the root of the problem with the album "The Haunting Curse of Skogs-Sara" - and unfolds the curse she laid upon the town of Boxsholm. The music is a dark and explosive experience, it is harder and stranger than ever. It is a psychological weapon that sneaks upon its victims. "The citizens of Boxholm will get fucked - and so will probably you!". Bocksholm is the project of Peter Andersson (Deutsch Nepal) and Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). Beatutifully presented in a textured fold-out A5 cover. Highly recommended!

The band's long out-of-print final album, the bleak and depressing creative apex known as 'Cold River Songs', is now available once again. This unheralded classic has been given the deluxe treatment; the album is remastered to include 3 bonus tracks and repackaged to include first-ever printing of the bands incendiary lyrics. Criminally underrated and underexposed, 'Cold River Songs' is as intense and ground-breaking as you'd expect from a band of legendary industrial / noise / power electronics pioneers.

The Milwaukee Noise ensemble Boy Dirt Car (including Eric Lunde) issues its first new recordings since 1988. Many of you will know the name from their appearances on RRRecords. "... I keep thinking to recognize the old Boy Dirt Car, but there is also strong memories of Impact Test [BDC member Darren Brown]. It's not easy to pin this down, but rock drone would come close I think. Slow, peaceful organ loops, heavy bass and siren like sounds, make this balancing on the fine line of ambient industrial and 'real' industrial, although this comes nowhere close to the real noise. Hard to imagine that eight (!) people play on this work. It's both retro sounding as well as new, this can be a true example for everybody who love their lo-fi noise / drone / rock music of the younger generation" [FDW]. Digipak.

A 40 year retrospective of the work of Ralph Gean, compiled by countercultural maven Boyd Rice (NON). Since the late 1950s Gean has written and recorded his own bizarre variety of Country, off-beat, and Rockabilly songs, which typically feature lyrics about murder, TV shows, weird news items and other "unusual" themes. In the mid '90s Gean was "discovered" by noted countercultural figures such as Boyd Rice (NON), Eric Allen (Apples In Stereo) and Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), all of whom would become involved in his career in one way or another; this lead to a comeback for Gean. Disc one of this two-disc set is a collection of the best and weirdest of Ralph Gean's assorted "outsider" tracks, and includes some bonus live material recorded in the late 1990s.

BRAIN DONOR - 'Drain'd Boner' CD (Invada)
This album showcases 5 tracks of abandoned sludge trudge - a brutal mix of post punk style, No Wave and free proto-metal. If you enjoy music which evokes the sound of overly caffeined baby elephants slopping about in oily puddles, that have formed outside a former Soviet chemical factory, then this is the album for you. Formed in 1999 and fronted by bass player / singer Julian Cope and guitarist Doggen, the most dramatic change in the sound comes from new drummer Mr E, whose punctuating style of drumming echoes Sabbath's Bill Ward and Grand Funk's Don Brewer. This places greater emphasis on the rhythm section, in places even adding elements of brutal stop/start skank in the Jah Wobble period PIL tradition. File next to Comets On Fire.

'Go Crystal Tears' is the first outing for the new Burial Hex sound and highlights influences such as 80s horror synth master John Carpenter and Goblin coming to the fore and blending with the almost black metal vocal style and "horror electronics". 'Temple of the Flood', clocking in at a 14 and a half minutes, is one of the final old-style Burial Hex tracks and proceeds in a style reminiscent of previous works with heavily processed analogue electronics and synths up, developing into eroding layers of primitive percussion, water drops and exotica piano, before ending in a deluge of sub bass and redemptive church organ. Nika (aka Zola Jesus) is here joined here by live member Dead Luke. Nika's voice, reminiscent of a teenage Diamanda Galas or a more deranged Beth Ditto, soars and wails within an ever changing cloud of pulsing synths and analogue electronics, joined by a warm synth line.

BURMESE - 'A Mere Shadow And Reminiscence Of Humanity' CD (Tumult)
Now with an extra drummer and a renewed, dangerously unhealthy obsession with Whitehouse, Burmese have slowed things down a bit. Gone are the hyperspeed blast beats and in their place are midtempo dirges, stumbling drunkenly through nihilistic, grinding sludge, spewing bile and ultraviolence. Pounding militaristic beats demarcate vast expanses of throbbing feedback, guttural growls, tarpit washes of bowel loosening low-end and 16 rpm grindcore. Things do speed up occasionally into blurry bursts of static and skree, but even then, they eventually devolve back into some sort of primordial and glacial caveman stomp, all murky thud and swampy roar, thick and suffocating and massively heavy. Grinding and pounding. Relentless and brutal.

BURNING STAR CORE - 'WSBC/SSS' 10 " (NO-FI)
The second in the series of super-limited 10”s from cincinnati’s basement noise terrorist C. Spencer Yeh. Where "Amelia" showed Yeh’s sensitive side, "WSBC/SSS" goes straight for the jugular with pure distorted punk noise, all rampant high end and a growling analogue core. However what sets Yeh away from so many of his contemporaries is that beneath all the hellish distortion and crushing doom is a sense of harmony and pastoral perfection. It’s not often in noise music that you get this kind of intense-yet-measured collision, but Yeh manages to pull it off magnificently resulting in a 10” which crosses genre boundaries in the most punk-rock fashion imaginable. Features special exclusive artwork from Wolf Eyes’ John Olson!

BºTONG - 'Structures' CD (Noecho)
B°tong - aka Chris Sigdell - is former member of German/Swiss experimental electronica collective NID. "Structures" was recorded between 2005 and 2006. It was inspired by a visit to the Jukkasjärvi ice palace in Sweden. Its cold and dark atmosphere juxtaposed with middle of the summer weather gave birth to the idea which took shape some time later back in Switzerland. Field recordings, sound processing and ambient soundscapes wrapped up in a digipak. Ltd x 500 copies.
This early '80s sword-and-steroids epic by writer /director John Milius is notable for making a bankable action-star of Arnold Schwarzenegger and cementing the reputation of film composer Basil Poledouris (Iron Eagle, Robocop, Hunt For Red October, Starship Troopers). A dream assignment for a young composer eager to showcase the range his skills, the lusty Conan score hearkens back to the '30s heyday of Erich Wolfgang Korngold's unabashed Euro-classicism, but with enough modern rhythmic and percussive flourishes to satisfy the modern listener. Buyer beware - this music is not intended for rush hour commute listening, and we will not be held liable for the carnage such exposure might inspire!
