Through an element darkly… In the fall of 2005 Z’EV
began dipping deep into his archives and selecting recordings
to produce ‘sum things / a possible form for cold dark
matter’, a project reflecting his take on the ‘dark
ambience’ genre. Composed between December 2005 and
March 2006, these 6 pieces endeavour to transport the listener
deep into their long forgotten memories of the primal forces
at the dawn of creation. Each piece is based on a single sound
source. Absolutely no effects of any kind, not even equalization,
were applied to the source recordings. Instead Z’EV
relied solely on the stretching of the duration and pitch
of the samples and then edited and mixed the results down
into the heart of space. Hear then, the state of the art in
elemental musics. Not to forget the beautiful packaging by
artist Abby Helasdottir.

The legendary third full length CD by Beequeen from 1995, produced by Mark Poysden, breaking away from the older ambient industrial sound and a much richer sound tapestry. Widely acclaimed as a highlight in the Beequeen back catalogue. Features covers of titles like 'Return To Sender' (Elvis Presley) and 'A Beautiful Noise' (Neil Diamond) set to completely di fferent music.
As "Sugarbush" featured a lot of processed guitar sounds, Beequeen refer to this as their 'guitar-album'. Dedicated to Joseph Beuys. Ltd x 1000. RARE WAREHOUSE FIND - ACT FAST!

CD (Beast Of Prey)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |

Another portion of power electronics and good old harsh vocals from this Polish act. "Everything sharp, perverted, without mercy. Over 50 minutes of sick and repugnant music for a mature audience, showing images of perverse reality, disgusting facts that we are surrounded by, that we learn from internet, television or press and we watch them with dread, thinking where this world is coming to. The album does not judge or insist or promote any violence, it's only an image of reality". Released as a 12 page outsize booklet with graphics, speeches, commentaries. Ltd x 350 hand-numbered copies.

CIRCLE - 'Forest' CD (Ektro Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Finnish version of the 2004 album.
"It's incredible how Circle always manage to maintain their trademark sound - repetitive, hypnotic post-prog-rock grooves - even as they produce new albums with such distinct, different identities. Forest, is another great, unique Circle effort. This time around, they've gone semi-acoustic, kinda folky. Also spooky and sinisterly-synthed... This a Forest of nightmares, with whispering and groaning in the trees... Most of the time Forest is all-instrumental, spacious, suspenseful, grooved-out, darkness. The final, longest track dabbles in ambient, experimental witch-project drone before those Circle rhythms return and Mika moans his last. So good" (Aquarius).

CIRCLE - 'Meronia' CD (Ektro Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |

Reissue of the 1994 album (originally released on Circle's own label Bad Vugum) from Finnish Krautrock heroes Circle. This new release features updated album artwork and has been digitally remastered as well. Meronia's 70+ minutes of simultaneously mesmerizing and crushing songs laid the foundations for future Circle albums to come. Although various incarnations of the band have since created over 20 full length releases, the fundamental things at the heart of Circle were already present on this, their first album.

Insane, high energy harsh noise attack from this cult underground Japanese artist, who began life in 1994. Four tracks and an hour's total of gushing harshness, which includes a modicum of restrained rumble, some all-out feedback and piles upon piles of crushing distortion. File directly next to Masonna.

DANDELION WINE - 'Light Streaming Down'
MCD (Crustacean Creations)
- £8 / £9 / £10 |
 |
The debut from Australians Dandelion Wine combines a wide range of influences to arrive at an atmospheric sound that incorporates elements from around the globe and across the centuries! The music deftly combines ethereal vocals and assorted string instruments over waves of guitars with a mixture of live and electronic beats and rhythms. The CD comes in a specially designed heavy textured card sleeve with silver ink. For fans of Narsilion, Collection d'Arnell-Andrea, Rajna etc. |
DOKTOR KETTU - 'Soft Delirium'
CD (Super Metsä)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Doktor Kettu sounds like a rock'n'roll band being thrown down a well in low gravity. Years ago they hid themselves in a small cottage by the sea, only to emerge later as a stream of limited releases documenting their slow rituals. Today all of these recordings are desperately sought-after collector's items, but the band itself has carefully stayed away from sight. The first ”proper” Doktor Kettu offering ever is music that is so disconnected from time that its notes are only now just about to reach us, two years after the recording session. Fine Finnish Krautrock with (unsurprisingly) a member of Circle. |
FAUST - 'The Lands Of Ukko & Rauni' 2 x CD (Ektro Records) - £15 / £16 / £17 |
 |
"A concert (84 minutes) by the current incarnation of the reformed band (original members Werner Diermaier & Hans Joachim Irmler, long-serving American guitarist Steven Lobdell, and relative newcomers Lars Paukstat & Michael Stoll), recorded in Finland April 20, 2000. As always with Faust, things are never predictable or easily categorized, and for the most part, the individual pieces tracked on the CDs flow into one another with only subtle differentiations at the track boundaries. Faust continue to make music (with noise) more interesting, diverse and compelling than most of the head music bands around now or then, be they psych / space / prog / stoner / kraut..."

Brutal ambient noise and drone/doom split from two great young acts. Ghäst offers up two monsters: the 21+ minute torturous noise / dark ambient epic "Le Noye" and the ultra sick, ascetic doom mutilation "Tetanos". The three tracks of Rape-X are united by one title "Civil Servant" and divided into 3 chapters 'The Cop', 'The Commissioner' and 'The Mayor'. A much more aggressive noise attack than the Canadians! A powerful constant noise beam oriented into infinity, along with mutant harsh voices. 70+ minutes playing time in total! Ltd x 1000 copies.

HOARFROST - 'Ground Zero' Enhanced
CD (Zoharum)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
The debut from this Silesian Dark Ambient project. "Ground Zero" is a landscape developing from an unknown cataclysm presenting ruins and debris of steel, dust flying in the air, rust and sliver, tumbling down construction, where steel structures bend and fold like a pack of cards.
A 37-minute story about the destruction of the concrete world is presented in 6 pieces in a dark ambient / industrial climate. Also contains a video clip for 'From Here To Ruins'. Presented in a 6-panel digipak.

HYIOS - 'Consuetudines'
CD (Malignant Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
The alluring debut from Leipzig Germany’s Hyios offers 7 lengthy compositions of cold ritual drones, arching trajectories, and visceral descents into subterranean caverns, where rich, kinetic textures and deep resonant tones move and morph in a fluid, serpentine fashion, sprinkled with the debris of an ancient culture and something more otherworldly and primordial. Leipzig has historically proven to be fertile ground for dark ambient and "Consuetudines" continues in the fine tradition set forth by such notable acts as Inade and Herbst9. In 6 panel digipak, mastered by Secret Lab. A great new discovery!

IRR. APP. (EXT.) - 'Kreiselwelle'
CD (Helen Scarsdale Agency)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Irr. app. (ext.) is a project of Californian M.S. Waldron (recent live member of Nurse With Wound). "Kreiselwelle" ("Spiral Wave") is the third and final installment to a body of works composed under the influence of Wilhelm Reich, the unorthodox 20th Century psychologist. Waldron returns to the same collection of field recordings which began this trilogy; however, he restricted himself to those with spiralling origins: resonating springs, the ocean cyclically churning over pebbles on the beach, the wafting of air around various objects... A richly dark and oddly serene amalgamation. Nice artwork with spot varnishing.

PETER WRIGHT - 'Air Guitar' 7" (Drone Records)
- £7 / £8 / £9 |
 |
Welcome to the Dance of Overtones! New Zealand's Peter Wright (currently residing in London) has raised a reputation over the last few years with his music built mainly by guitar and field recordings. This 3-piece EP consists of little fluxion-mantras, made by waving guitar-overtones and sounds of air and water, with little additional sounds of daily room-noises. Ultra-minimal and harmonic, but with a certain raw directness and concreteness that creates a unique atmosphere, these wonderful over-tonic vibrations and sounds seem to tell little stories or daydream-phantasies. First edition of 300 copies on orange marbled vinyl in a stenciled sleeve with insert.

The first new material from the legendary Ramleh since 1998 and it doesn't disappoint. Powerful droning intensity, motorik rhythms and warped guitar riffs dominate these two songs with one containing Ramleh's distinctive distorted vocals weaving in and out of this inventive chemistry. "Switch Hitter" could almost be described as a full on dissonant rock track, but Ramleh's desire for experimentation and improvisation lifts it way above the general rock mindset. Ramleh have not lost any of their energy, excitement and ability to explore all possibilities. A very welcome return for Anthony Di Franco (Novatron, ex-Skullflower), Gary Mundy (Toll, ex-Skullflower). Presented in a j-card sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies. ACT FAST!

SVARROGH / DÉFILÉ DES ÂMES / ÀRNICA - 'South European Folk Compendium'
CD
(Ahnstern)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
This three-way CD is a unique compendium of South European folk music, inspired by Balkan, Catalan and Hellenic traditional culture. The sources and the stylistic devices of the three artists are quite different and descending from three different cultural regions, but there is just one intention and one deep mythological spirit, that unites the musicians to build up an axis through the mediterranean sunlit landscapes. On this album you will drown in the ritual, Alpine-Folk shamanism of Árnica, using a wide range of traditional instruments and the spirit of Catalunya - Svarrogh drags you to the deep and dark forests of Bulgaria by slavic chants, where you will meet the god Veles in his wooden shrine – and you will waft through a droning and apocalyptic haze to the powerful and emotional hellenic spheres of Défilé des Âmes from Greece.

Tethrippon is the chariot of Apollon Hellenic God of light. Burning like the desire of a proud man for universal harmony and beauty, it rides eternally the skies. Those who are not blinded by arrogance or the ultimate light can verify the gentle meaning of our hymns and their noble purpose. Tethrippon’s composition and poetry bring warmth to civilized and delicate hearts and a nostalgia for what is missing from a romantic man’s internal search for an ideal world. Inspired by "Hellenic learning" and dedicated to the holy memory of our glorious forefathers. Rest in peace in the eternal skies! All lyrics are sung in Old-Greek, a language that died out 2300 years ago! A new power for the Martial generation - the essence of Dernière Volonté, Triarii and early Dead Can Dance! Digipak. |

Coming originally from Texas, the trio ultrasound (partly ex-Stars Of The Lid) are now located in Den Haag, Netherlands, and Texas, USA. With this, their first ever 7", they present two unbelievable emotional touching pieces of guitar and bass-drone-music, where long echoes of overtone guitar-sounds melt in one stream of pure sensible acoustics. Ultrasound submerges the listener into a deep salty sea to float on the frail border between air and water, light and reflection, perception and knowing.

The whole record is a pure tribute to the darkest side of mother nature. Haunting and cold electronic soundscapes are mixed with atmospheric acoustic guitars and clean vocals. This is a conceptual album; a masterpiece of haunting and evocative aural tapestries, an emotive display of tension and calm. A darkened imagery of shadowed forests and expansive still landscapes. Join the journey into the deepest side of the forest and get lost in misty, snow-covered hills and majestic mountain landscapes. The whole album is featured as music CD and DVD on one disc.

- £12 / £14 / £16 |

The comeback of the legendary duo from New Mexico, USA, consisting of Bonni McNairn and Jim Wilson.

These 3 tracks (39 mins) of new material are inspired by the wisdom of Buddhist / Advaitic meditation and philosophy, and are based on ethereal vocal material, flute-sounds and their self-built string-instruments, full of yearning and beauty. Ltd x 500 copies on clear / golden marbled vinyl. Recommended!

DERNIERE VOLONTE - 'Obeir Et Mourir' 2 x CD Boxset (Nuit Et Brouillard)
- £25 / £27 / £29
Reissue of the mythical double tape boxset released by LNA in 1998! All original material was entirely remastered and seven unreleased tracks from the same recording sessions were added.

The sound here is a great blending of dark ambient soundscapes, militaristic percussion samples and tape-voices taken from WWII documentaries. Powerful anthems march in front of melodic tracks and oppressive atmospheres reflecting perfectly the climate of the 30’s and of the 40’s made of fury, pain and tears. "Obéir et mourir" is nothing but an audio and visual illustration of these dark days. 28 tracks and over 2 hours of music! Deluxe boxset with 14 postcards. Ltd x 2000. |

FAUST - 'Kleine Welt (Live)' CD (Ektro Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Live album from the legendary German kraut-rockers Faust. "Kleine Welt" is compiled from concerts in 2006. These avant-garde trailblazers continue their unique work which began in 1970. Chaos, fear, irrationality, the grotesque, the absurd, darkness, surrealism and underground are all fitting definitions for Faust, but still only modest attempts to describe one of the most notable rock bands in the world. Faust gave their utmost consideration when choosing the path, on which only a few have ventured. |

MELEK-THA - 'Perfect World Eradication' CD (Kubernoise)

Utterly disturbing and disconcerting, whipping up a fury of hallucinatory dark noise that can be spoken in the same breath as bands such as Lustmord, Brighter Death Now and Kerovnian.

MERZBOW - 'Scene' CD (Waystyx) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
“Scene” contains four long pieces, recorded and mixed in November 2004. This material is not remarkable for it's brutality, rather on the contrary.
