AGHAST - 'Herexei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis' CD (Eternal Pride Productions) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Aghast was a project by Nebelhexe and Nacht. Their one and only album "Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis" was originally released in 1994 (Cold Meat Industry) and is real dark and gloomy ambient, played in a classical darkwave vein. Minimalism in musical content, compensated by spooky and ice-cold vocals that will haunt you. Macabre enchantresses in lovely disguise will seduce you to end your life and take you th their ghastly realm from which you will never rise. Hear gods cry and angels fall. Listen to the horror and beauty. Let Aghast bewitch you! Russian reissue in a digipak.

ALL MY FAITH LOST - 'In A Sea, In A Lake, In A River... Or In A Teardrop' CD (Infinite Fog Productions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Reissue of the second album from Italians All My Faith Lost (with the original lineup of 4), originally issued on Sin.Org. This album focuses on the spirits of the water, with stories and tales that tell about faeries, witches, elves and everything else living in the water. Water that can be rain, the water of a river or of a lake but can be also a tear. Acoustic and classic guitars are the main instruments at the base of the compositions, flutes and delicate synths create, light arrangements giving that ethereal mood that would be more present in the following releases of the band (on Cold Meat Industry / Projekt). The vocal parts are equally divided amongst male and female, creating a perfect balance between heavenly/frail and profound/dark atmospheres. Ltd x 300 copies in a gatefold digisleeve.

BRB - 'Disinterpretioned' CD (Muzamuza Records) - £10 / £11 / £12

Formerly known as Big Road Breaker. "More sub-space transmissions from out of the void, other worldly murmurs and ambiences that shimmer like phantoms then fade into oblivion. Clicks, static and rumbles are allused as devices to convey abstractions of space and time. Layer upon layer of sound, treated to bring out new textures; the musical splitting of an atom" (Bizarre). Released in an edition of 500 copies, though only 300 were ever made available due to a shortage in the printed sleeves. Comes in a in PVC archive sleeve with multiple transparent and card inserts with obi strip.

BT.HN. - 'Vitiated' LP (Dogma Chase) - £15 / £17 / £19

BT.HN. is Sam McKinlay (The Rita, Black To Comm) and Josh Rose (Sick Buildings). This ritual is concerned with French realism around 'La Bete Humaine' by Emile Zola / Jean Renoir. Throbbing electronics crawl on stratum waves of harshness with bursts of heavily blunt cracks and crags, cruel atomospheres dominate the fear. A burning core stands on the borderline without any determent, it is the vitiated faith and also the catharsis of maximum intension. Comes in a folded, heavy cardboard sleeve with a silk-screened metal plate on the front and a printed, black and white insert fastened on the inside. Ltd x 280 hand-numbered copies - ACT FAST! Japanese import.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

CYCLOTIMIA - 'Celestis' CD (Gravitator Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

An album inspired by the activity of the American aerospace company Space Services Inc. which among other things dispatches human ashes in space. For more than 30 years Space Services Inc. has been a leader company in the sphere of private space missions of scientific and educational character. By agreement with Space Services Inc. a copy of "Celestis" CD will be launched in space on board of the rocket with ashes of 179 people from different countries and will be the official soundtrack for the memorial "Legacy" flight. Musically "Celestis" fundamentally differs from their previous works - real old-school atmospheres using vintage devices. File alongside Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze, Download, Coil, Bad Sector and even The Future Sound Of London or The Orb.

All Cyclotimia Titles

CYCLOTIMIA - 'Music For Stockmarkets' CD (Zhelezobeton) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Cyclotimia has chosen the creation of a soundtrack to "globalisation" and life of the "consumer society" as their concept. The radically experimental 64-minute album includes 32 tracks divided into three conceptual parts: "Wallstreet Requiem", "Trivial Pleasures" and "Financial Glossary". The music itself is nothing like their previous recordings. Minimalism, academic sterility, surgical accuracy and meditative ataraxy prevail on "Music for Stockmarkets". The sound of the album is chrystal-clear and warm at the same time. "Vintage" lovers have a wonderful chance to listen to the masterpieces of Soviet music production in pure sound, unprocessed by effects. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

All Cyclotimia Titles

DEAD MAN'S HILL - 'Songs From The Forthcoming Apocalypse' CD (Midnight Productions)
- £11 / £12 / £13

After almost 2 years of silence, Dead Man's Hill is now back with a new full length, themed around the apocalypse, and what will happen thereafter. This is a journey which starts on a darkened earth, which sky is filled with aurora's and fire, and continues it's way trough planets and spaces of no life. The music on this album sounds in the line of "Dog Burial", but with more atmospheric elements, more black metal influences and haunting vocals. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak with booklet. Chinese import.

All Dead Man's Hill Titles

DUPARC - 'Spring's Message' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

While stumbling around a dark and dusty used bookstore in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Carlos Boll stumbled across a book of poetry by John Clare. Not being familiar with his work prior to this encounter he was taken aback by the beauty of Clare’s words. While maintaining a rather personal and reflective nature, the poems invoke a walk though the forest on a wonderful spring day. Being struck by such inspiration Carlos knew at once he should set some of his favourite pieces to music. Enhanced by the dulcid tones of vocalist Isabella Piombo, Carlos purposefully kept the music in the realm of traditional British folk, in homage to Clare’s homeland, although modern influences certainly crept in during the recording sessions. Ltd x 500 copies.

DVAR - 'Jraah Mraah' CD (Gravitator Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"Jraah Mraah" presents 30 finely crafted miniature masterpieces made at the meeting-point of indietronics, gothic, fantasy pop, minimalism and avant-garde. Blazing expressive pieces vary from driving ones to meditative, from "cheerful" to tragic. That's possibly how "punk" or "synthpop" should sound if performed by cockroaches, flies and caterpillars from old Soviet cartoons. And really, one can't but admire this inventive sickness in performance! The disc is literally covered with odd obscure atmosphere similar to David Lynch's movies. This feeling, when under a mask of a clown you can see a skull, or when a colourful wrapping of a chocolate sweet hides a pile of dead earthworms inside... Besides traditional fans of Dvar, this album will be surely appreciated by sentimental lovers of touching children's music and other most unusual, experimental and innovative.

ESOTERIC - 'Epistemological Despondency' 2 x CD (Aesthetic Death Records) - £15 / £16 / £17

The excellent debut release from UK doom legends Esoteric. One of the legendary albums and milestones of extreme doom - an album which took this genre to levels never before perceived or encountered. 6 tracks of raw extreme droning Funeral doom - not for the uninitiated - a task of survival for the 90 minute duration!

All Esoteric Titles

GHOSTS OF BRESLAU - 'Sacred Place' CD (Twilight Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The third album from Ghosts Of Breslau is a collection of material from numerous compilations, split releases and never before published tracks - including the extremely limited and hard to find "Gas" MCD (Z-Bugle Records, China), the very special song "Warszawa" (intended for the now defunct "63 Days" series from Fluttering Dragon) and a special guest appearance by Ritual Front. 18 amazing soundscapes that will haunt you for a long time... We all have a sacred place - what's yours? Digipak.

All Ghosts Of Breslau Titles

HOROLOGIUM - 'Le Paradis Des Chasseurs' CD (Twilight Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

"Le Paradis des Chasseurs” contains material from two 3" MCDs: "Songs For Hunters” (Ltd x 100, Bunkier Productions) and "Paradise Inverted” (Ltd x 150, Old Europa Cafe) - both of which embody Polish act Horologium’s most bombastic recordings to date. We believe that this sonic output needs much more recognition! An additional bonus track was recorded with the wonderful assistance from Juan A. (Der Arbeiter). Digipak.

All Horologium Titles

KOSAKAI FUMIO & TAKAHASHI IKURO - '... Of Dogstarman' CD (Pataphysique Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Collaborative disc featuring electronics and oscillator work from Fumio, best know from as a member of Incapacitants, and Ikuro from Fushitsusha, LSD March and many others. Not as abstract and minimal as Ikuro’s solo works but sways closer in that direction than the harsh noise world. "Squealing drones made by electronics and processed reeds from this Japanese duo... Quite beautiful. Similar to Keiji Haino's hurdy-gurdy pieces or free saxophonist Evan Parker's recent electronically-enhanced works" (Aquarius).

LASSE MARHAUG - 'If The Revolution Could Start Right Now' 7" (Ketchup Cavern) - £6 / £7 / £8

Single-sided disc from one half of Norwegian duo Jazzkammer. "Lasse Marhaug has a discography as long as your arm and a list of previous collaborators that would scare the pants off us if they were all in the same room, but that wouldn't matter if he didn't drop the heavy jams... This is a physical record, instead of someone twisting knobs it sounds like someone slapping you around and yelling in your ear for five minutes and five seconds. Total radness!" Hand-numbered edition of 284 copies!

All Lasse Marhaug TitlesAll 7" Vinyl

MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Huiswerk' 7" (Ketchup Cavern) - £6 / £7 / £8

"...a gorgeously minimal guitar workout that reminds us of another aQ fave, Part Timer, with it's sleep guitar figures, wreathed in digital glitch, bits of crackle and streaks of hiss, every now and then a thick distorted guitar surfaces, only to drift off again, leaving lots of space for that lonely guitar to drift through. Stuttery, skipping, sudden moments of near silence, but all peppered throughout a slowly unfurling expanse of warbly woozy fractured folk, soft and pretty, spacious and minimal, the glitchiness mostly adding texture, rarely interrupting the song's dreamy drift" (Aquarius). Ltd x 381 on black vinyl.

All Machinefabriek TitlesAll 7" Vinyl

MAJDANEK WALTZ / SAL SOLARIS - 'Himmel Des Reichs / Der Himmel Über Berlin' Enhanced CD
(KultFront) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

This split CD is a remastered edition of one of the most energetic recordings from Russian act Majdanek Waltz (from 2004) with special additional tracks from their friends Sal Solaris. "The release continues the theme of 'Cranes' - the absurdity of the confrontation between two forces of brothers-soldiers. Both poles could be clearly seen here, divided stylistically and ideologically - Majdanek Waltz martial / dark folk hymns expressing one side’s view, while Sal Solaris ambient-industrial tracks are the memories of their recent enemies". The CD also includes the Sal Solaris video "Der Himmel Über Berlin" created by Oleg Potiy, using old archive materials. The artwork contains rare photos from 1939 when future enemies were still allies. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

All Majdanek Waltz TitlesAll Sal Solaris Titles

MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'Blut Und Nebel' CD (Slaughter Productions) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

This CD is a 'de-compilation' of Maurizio Bianchi's first 10 LPs from the early 1980s. It is an excellent demonstration of Bianchi's skills at dadaistic collage, free-form improvisation and abstract soundsculpting, as accrued over twenty years of electronic manipulation. Noise is employed like an electric guitar to produce solos of manic intensity.

All Maurizio BianchiTitles

MEPHI - 'Morganium Ad Aylaniu' CD (Midnight Productions) - £11 / £12 / £13

NACKT INSECTEN - 'Quantum Odyssey' LP (Blackest Rainbow) - £11 / £13 / £15

First ever LP from Glasgow's premier psych-drone man Ruaraidh Sanachan. "Amazing new LP from one of the UK's best psychedelic sci-fi drone blokes, total bliss drones layered repeatedly causing some truly stunning brain melting moments. Think ancient temples in the amazon being ravaged by thunderbolts of bright electric psychedelia. Totally amazing - everyone who has heard this so far has been blown away. Paste on art, quite possibly the most awesome '70s/'80s b-movie inspired cover art I have ever seen" (label). Ltd x 300 copies.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

ROBERT MILLIS - '120' CD (Etude Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Reissue of Millis' extremely limited 2008 release (Ltd x 120). Despite his many activities, Millis' recorded output has almost entirely been by way of collaboration, making this gem of a solo album all the more special. Psychedelic smear pocked with snippets of conversation, poetic extracts from his collection of 78s and a judicious amount of vinyl crackling. Blissed out shimmers constructed from loops and drones from guitar, bells, and glass harmonica, where haunted melodies from times long gone whisper through the mix. As if Millis were tapping into some stream of consciousness that subcutaneously connects all of these intermingling sounds. Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak.

THE LAST HOUR - 'The Last Hour' CD (Intuition / Tantric Harmonies) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The Last Hour is the solo project of Roberto Del Vecchio (ex-Gothica), who first appeared on the Cold Meat Industry Sampler 'Flowers Made Of Snow' back in 2004. The music is cold dark wave, played in an atmospheric and romantic way, with touch of harsh industrial elements and modern electronica, combined with neo-classical and soundtrack-esque tunes. Reminds of acts such as Stoa, Lycia, Soul Whirling Somewhere, This Mortal Coil or Clan of Xymox. Roberto creates music which paints an atmospheric pictures in the listeners head. The whole album is true masterpice of art sombre. Digipak. Russian import.

All Vinterriket Titles

VLADIMIR HIRSCH - 'Exorcisms' CD (Ars Benevola Mater) - £11 / £12 / £13

"Exorcisms" was created in 2006 as another monolithic work in the spirit of the author's original conception of integrated music. The compositional style leans towards more complicated musical pieces, with tense or martial elements and all absorbing space. This demonstrates the author's existential dialogue between physical reality, spirituality and philosophical element. One could call this album a ripe resultation of the author's struggle for "order in chaos" and another new step in "post-industrial dark ambient non-classical integration". Ltd x 435 copies in an outsized textured sleeve.

All Vladimir Hirsch Titles

NORDVARGR - 'Helvete' CD (Eternal Pride Productions) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The 2008 creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan Cult and Drakhon (Beyond Sensory Experience, MZ.412) have joined the night sessions of the never sleeping Swedish zombie. It would be totally insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive from this trio. "Helvete" is the overwhelming Darkness and the ice-cold all-filling Terror. Meditative and sinister Dark Ambient rhythms are filled with the ominous whisper of Wrest and Drakh. Deep and lengthy drones as well as the charming atmosphere of the Swedish industrial decadence. At the end of this trip all of those nostalgic for the times of the "Burning The Temple Of God" MZ.412 will be rewarded for all the years of waiting. Digipak.

OBJEKT4 - 'Extermination Processing Tower' CD (Ravenheart) - £9 / £10 / £11

Second album from this Swedish project exploring "the ghost sounds of everyday life". 'Extermination Processing Tower' offers nine extremely predominantly Dark Ambient soundtracks / soundscapes. Inorganic, minimal Dark Ambient with just a few tracks of experimental industrial mixed in to add feelings of terror and anxiety to the darkness within. Similar to some works by Nordvargr and Sleep Research Facility! Deep, foreboding stuff. Czech import.

ONTAYSO - 'Elochim' CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

Second full-length release by this Belgian act. Ontayso have created a special release of manipulated electro-acoustic music in a dark and sensitive way, inspired by the artwork of strip artist Moebius. ("Elochim" is a planet in one of his famous strips). The music is soft and tranquil, but with experimental compositions and a lot of tension underneath. CD comes in a gatefold sleeve. Limited edition of 750 copies. Russian import.

VARGR - 'Wehrmacht Satanas' CD (Eternal Pride Productions) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50

The name Henrik Nordvargr Björkk has always been associated with the power of Swedish Black Industrial, which has been linked to MZ.412 for many years. As part of MZ.412, Nordvargr first managed to combine black metal and post-industrial aesthetics. But Vargr is an even more diabolic, blasphemous and terrifying cocktail of the real Scandinavian Black Metal of the early 90's, Black Ambient and Noise layers which create an atmosphere of Evil, Death, Chaos and Destruction in their impious graciousness. An unholy communion summoned to create the soundtrack for all wars to come. Bow to the Northern Wolf! Includes a cover of Burzum's track "Det Som En Gang Var".

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Muzyka Voln' CD (Muzyka Voln) - £9.50 / £10.50 / £11.50

Debut release from Zhelezobeton's sublabel Muzyka Voln. This compilation of the same name contains compositions from 12 Russian projects playing ambient / drone music.

Exclusive tracks from: Anthesteria feat. Kaj?, Cisfinitum, Bardoseneticcube, Closing The Eternity, Exit In Grey, Hum, Instant Movie Combinations, Kshatriy, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, Necropolis, Polaris and RemoteBand. A great comp for those interested in the Russian experimental scene and for lovers of beautiful contemplative music.
