| ANNI HOGAN | Mountain CD / DVD DualDisc (CSR132CD) £14 / £15 / £16 |
 |
Shipping: 13th June
An artistic collaboration between musicians Anni Hogan, Robert Strachan and Itchy Ear, film maker Bob Wass and mountaineer Cathy O'Dowd. Hogan and Itchy Ear originally worked on a series of piano pieces inspired by Rene Daumal's 'Mount Analogue' and the superior wisdom of mountains, using O'Dowds Himalayan conquests for particular authentic inspiration. Robert and Anni used these pieces and the Himalayan peaks as a template for painting a soundwave soundscape around the piano compositions. O'Dowd performed a fascinating monologue over the piece 'Deathzone'. The 'Mountain' film was created by Bob Wass from Cathy's original film footage of her Everest expeditions.

| SKULLFLOWER | Fucked On A Pile Of Corpses CD (CSR151CD) £8 / £9 / £10 |
 |
Shipping:
13th June
The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics,
this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who've tainted the air with describing Skullflower as 'psychedelic'. But that's not to say this is an all out total assault. There are also moments of tender acoustic balladry, its just that they don't exist.
The remorseless brutal sound is primitive, but as detailed and rich as a blood soaked medieval canvas,
somewhere betwixt The Rita and Clandestine Blaze, but more brutal!

| EMME YA | Atavistic Dreams & Phallic Totems CD (CSR151CD) £8 / £9 / £10 |

Shipping:
13th June
40 minutes of dense astral emanations and magickal paradigms transmitted through the ritual mantras generated by Emme Ya. Based on the mysterious African Dogon tribe and their secret oral tradition. In the 1930s two anthropologists gained their trust enough to be told these remarkable secrets. The Dogon seemed to possess advanced astronomical knowledge beyond their means, without any instruments, revealing hidden stars Sirius B and Sirius C, so invisible they were only discovered by scientists with advanced imaging in 1970 and 1995.
The Dogon say that their information was given to their ancestors through contact
with beings from the star system of Sirius, calling these beings Nommos or ‘the
monitors of the universe’.

1000SCHOEN - 'Moune' CD
(Nitkie)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Moune is a very old word for Moon in an old language that was spoken in Germany. But it’s not German, it’s Friesisch. Helge Siehl is the driving force of 1000schoen since the time he parted ways with the other two former Maeror Tri members. This album shows the more Dark Ambient side of 1000schoen, leaving the rhythmic path behind in favour of menacing sounds of highly personal moon rising visions. The symbol of 1000schoen reflects the celestial bodies of Sun and Moon in inseparable symbiosis, which we can see in all that we can imagine. The world of 1000schoen art and experience moves in this continuum as well. Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

ANTIKATECHON - 'Privilegium Martyrii' CD
(Silentes Minimal Editions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Thick and spectral dark ambient, full of soft and flowing pad stratification, involved in deep and penetrating low frequency coils, lightened by delicate and touching melodic interludes, broken by echoes of reverberating metallic noises, clanging chains, circular mechanical movements, distant and suffering human voices. Great debut CD for the Antikatechon project, involving Davide Dal Col's eclectic personality, the unique mind of the Ornament project and key man of more recent collaborative projects like Echran and Molnija Aura.
|
BAD SECTOR - 'Transponder' CD
(Infinite Fog Productions)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Since 1995, each new album of this Dark Ambient project is an event which is anticipated by almost every listener of industrial music. This is the long-awaited CD version of one of the most interesting albums of Italian master Massimo Magrini! Originally released as a very limited CDr (Blade Records, 1999), the album is available once more with 2 additional, exclusive compositions from that period! More than 60 minutes dark, deep, meditative, structured noise-ambient. Remastered and presented in a digipak.

BEREFT / FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'MA/PE/FU' LP (Existence Establishment)
- £13 / £16.50 / £20 |
 |
Massachusetts Power Electronics heavyweights go head-to-head in the first volume of the MA/PE/FU series. Fire in the Head is Michael Page, the prolific artist also behind Sky Burial and Irukandji who hails from Cape Cod. On Side A FITH offers a fast paced whirlwind of unrelenting noise complemented by ambient interludes, frantic samples, and rhythmic mayhem. Side B features the forsaken death industrial tinged power electronics of Salem, MA based Bereft. The brothers in arms behind this 2 man operation being Peter Lee of the long-running Force of Nature label, and Andy Grant who solos as The Vomit Arsonist. Bereft present a screeching feedback assault layered over heavy industrial rhythms to form 2 solid tracks of razor-sharp dissent. The line has been drawn. Ltd x 300 individually numbered copies with poster and insert.

CARSTEN VOLLMER / GEHIRN.IMPLOSION - 'Split' LP (Cat Killer / Verstand Recs.)
- £12 / £15.50 / £19 |
 |
Split release on 180g vinyl by these audio-extremists from Germany. Carsten Vollmer delivers one huge 14-minute opus called "Arbeit Nummer 18 - Urban Predator". Distorted noise and screaming feedback, generated with self built instruments. On the other side Gehirn.Implosion offers two tracks. The longer one, "Stiller Raeuber", could be described as smooth filtered harsh white noise walls. The second, shorter track, "Ein Einsamer Ort" is from the same area but also has subtle guitar and vocals featuring Thomas "Maul" Hütten (ea80). Ltd x 300 copies.

CIRCLE - 'Rautatie' LP (Full Contact Records / Svart Records)
- £16 / £19.50 / £23 |
 |
Clear vinyl edition of this 2010 album. Circle is ever changing, ever Circular. On "Rautatie" the Finnish six-piece once again dives into uncharted waters of music, into a miasma of influences that feels vaguely familiar but, in an uncanny way, is not quite real. "Rautatie" is epic hard rock and colossal riffs that corrode into fragments of black metallic atonality over time. Occasionally the album’s majestic elements step aside and let sprinkles of athletic boogie take the center stage. Together the eight tracks on the album form a hard rocking bullet train, speeding ever onwards on a circular railroad to infinity.
• All Circle Titles • All LP/12" Vinyl |
CLAUDIO ROCCHETTI - 'Every Live Is Problem Solving' CD (Silentes Minimal Editions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
A suggestive gallery of abstract images, confused fragments of life, lived experiences, sights of urban landscapes. Noisy and electronic sounds, mechanical machine movements, concrete rumours, low frequencies fluxes, hissing sounds... alongside melodic acoustic guitar pieces and field recordings... a brave and uncompromising "decomposed" mosaic work of out of time views and geometrical co-ordinates of sonic art.
|
DAWN & DUSK ENTWINED - 'Recollection 1994-1999' CD (Twilight Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
A compilation gathering the best of the two first albums of Dawn & Dusk Entwined, originally released on the defunct World Serpent label. The songs have all been remastered or remixed from the original tapes and give the best overview of what DDE was like in its beginning, over 15 years ago. Some influences are obvious, like In The Nursery or Blood Axis, and prepares for what was to come after with albums like "Remergence" in particular. Discover the roots of a now affirmed and respected act! Digipak.

DEISON - 'Night Sessions' CD
(Silentes Minimal Editions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
A collection of fascinating and obscure nocturnal sessions alternating classical electronic inspired parts based on sequencers and synthetizers... to more abstract and minimal sonic episodes, deep drones musical mix ups, distorted and extended guitars, deformed vocals, static... and moving into more typical ambient movements, cold interludes of more pulsing and techno oriented sounds, suggestive atmospheres built on bizarre loops... more typically glitch inserts and hisses. A great collection of collaborations with Teho Teardo, Philippe Petit, Under the Snow, Jim Coleman, Franck Vigroux, Testing Vault and Annen Berg.

DER BLUTHARSCH & DEUTSCH NEPAL - 'Apöcalyptic Climäx 2' CD (WKN /
Eternal Pride Productions)
- £11.50 / £12.50 / £13.50 |
 |
Reissue of the 1999 collaboration of the leading martial / industrial / ambient formations Der Blutharsch & Deutsch Nepal. The state of despair and hopelessness is the main theme of the music. Death floating in the uncertainty, death as the basic obsession standing behind all your thoughts and feelings - the monotonous, cold language and fixed scenes. Albin Julius & Lina Baby Doll stand here for the chroniclers of Europe, its dramatic historical way which gave rise to the bloody outbreaks and mystical spiritual revelations - war as the phenomenon of human nature which is constantly testing itself for strength. Apocalyptic despair is the theme of the whole album, which was released as a limited edition 10'' in 1999, and which is now available on CD in a digipak.

HALO MANASH - 'Taiwaskivi' CD & DVD (Aural Hypnox)
- £16 / £17 / £18 |
 |
Halo Manash rises radiant into luminosity, with wings spread into all worlds, and brings forth "Taiwaskivi", an opulent work of solar ambience and primordial Ur-music... a work of sonic flame and aural ash. Seven interrelated tracks, utilising such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussion and string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies. "Taiwaskivi", although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation - a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, "Taiwaskivi" is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skyward nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All. Ltd x 500 copies in a hand finished cardboard cruciform folder with inserts.

HIKIKOMORI - 'Far From The World' CD (Steelwork Maschine)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
After two limited albums, Hikikomori finally releases it's first CD proper. This French artist from Tours moves in spheres of dark drones and ritual ambience. Despite the sinister and black atmospheres of the album there is something very beautiful about the album. Slowly moving drones creates a grandiose atmosphere of hidden melody. A ritual / dark ambient / noise gem. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold digisleeve. |
LULLABIER - 'Verita Rivestite D'Ombra' CD
(Oltrelanebbiailmare)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Delicate and fragile dreamy atmospheres, melodic and hypnotic ambiental light touches, sonic landscapes... now semi-acoustic, then nearly shoegaze... lyrics with introspective views, whispered by a simple and gentle voice, mainly based on evocative and shining, delicate and expanded, electric guitar riffs, on discreet rhythmic bases, sometimes followed by more simple ethereal folk guitar chords, in a singer-songwriter mood. An intense album, simply elegant, and at the same time competent and extremely touching...
|
MAJDANEK WALTZ - 'On The Origin Of The World' CD
(Wroth Emitter)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Fourth official album of this dark folk formation from Ryazan, Russia. A symbiosis between classic European dark folk and dark ambient. Slow guitar fingering and strident viola are mixed with gloomy drones. The vocals are doomy and violent. About the birth of the world. Music for thoughtful listening. Features guest vocals by Wolfsblood.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'Apokalypsis XXIII' CD
(Nitkie)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"Maurizio Bianchi's last ever electronic music album. The four long tracks are inspired by verses from "The Book of Revelation", the final and most mysterious part of the New Testament. "The old master of industrial music is back after a hiatus... Four quotes from the book of Apocalypse is all the cover reveals for this. Bianchi is apparently still a devoted man, but this time the apocalypse doesn’t get a loud soundtrack, like it would have sounded thirty years ago, but a rather gentle work. Four long parts of non-committal synthesizer playing using loops of synthesizers, along with real-time playing, the apocalypse is depicted here as a chaotic but mild place... A powerful work by Bianchi, even when the power is the actual mildness of the music" (Vital Weekly). Ltd x 500 copies in a golden foil embossed digisleeve.

PETER PAELINCK & ELDBJØRG RAKNES - 'The Igloo Recordings' CD
(None)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Peter Paelinck travelled for many years in the old lost valleys of the Himalayas and Tibet where he learned the secrets of the Bön. The dark side of the Igloo Recordings was inspired by these memories. In 2008 Peter made new recordings in Norway where snow and ice were the only material used to build instruments to create sound (iseridoo, isbone, isgong, isbell and istube). Eldbjorg Raknes joined him in making these recordings at the Geilo Ice Festival. In isolation on a mountain top in a specially built igloo, they created new ritual music, recorded by Tor Magne Hallibakken. The results were mastered in Iceland by Finnur Hakonarsson (Johan Johansson, Mùm etc), creating 9 primitive songs with a high listening quality. Peter Paelinck and his sister Niki Mono were 2 of the 5 Arian Aquarians on the cult record label LAYLAH and he has previously worked with Hilmar Orn Hilmarsson and David Tibet. Presented in an opaque pouch with a set of beautiful ice photos.

REQUISITIO SENSUS AETERNUM - 'The Only One Is Dead, Who...' CD
(A5 Production)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
A young Dark Ambient / Drone / Dark Neoclassical / Experimental Electronics project from Murom, western Russia, formed in 2008. Headed by Malum Torpor, Requisitio Sensus Aeternum bears that inherent in its very title, "the eternal search for meaning". When the meaning is lost, the desire to exist is lost. Therefore, the meaning must be sought in every way.. the meaning is hidden in the search of meaning. Presented in a DVD case. Ukrainian import.

SACHER PELZ / AMUN CELL - 'Hibakusha' CD
(Silentes Minimal Editions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Cyclic loops based on static drones, intersected by electronic frequencies algorithmic variations of undefined sonic materials, moved by delays and landscape perspective variations recurring in space, a sequence of metallic waves in a continuous tone variation, heavy dissonance sonic stratification in progressive and pseudo-random composition / decomposition; desolate silences corrupted by resounding echoes of evolving electric rhythmic impulses. Long awaited re-issue of this unbelievable album by Maurizio Bianchi / Sacher-Pelz and Sandro Kaiser / Amun Cell, previously only available on limited CDR.
|
SEMBLER DEAH - 'Kaessariah Heel Eeen Leven Lang' CD
(Kaosthetik Konspiration)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Raised in 2010 by the meeting of Belgian preachers Colin H. van Eeckhout (AmenRa, Kingdom, Blind to Faith), Mathieu Vandekerckhove (AmenRa, Kingdom, Syndrome) and French DehnSora (Treha Sektori), Sembler Deah is a journey behind words, gathered by a sole ambience, between ethereal soundscapes, knotted guitar drones and falls. A three-headed hand surrounding a light in a cold, engulfing and ardent prayer. Just like Lustmord, the trio blends dark ambient textures with captivating sounds and electronic percussion from beyond the grave. An odyssey of sound that seeks to respond to the emotions buried deep within us. Debut CD in a digisleeve.
|
TOMAS PHILLIPS / LUIGI TURRA - 'Vignettes Amplifié' CD
(Nitkie)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
"New age might be a word that one could apply to an album that involves shakuhachi and prayer bowls, as on this disc by Tomas Phillips and Luigi Turra. They are both also credited for the use of laptop. And obviously this is not a work of new age. The music is simply not ‘easy’ enough, but it surely hints at a more zen-like experience of listening. Things are stretched out, quiet and peaceful. There are some highly obscured sounds from the world of electro-acoustics, long sustaining sounds on the bowl and the flute, the more than obvious crackles, which seem to belong to this micro-world. Three pieces, all around eleven to fourteen minutes, which all need their time to peacefully and calmly enroll their story. A fine work of microsound." (Vital Weekly). Ltd x 500 copies in a digisleeve.

UNDER THE SNOW - 'Delta' CD
(Silentes)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Extended sonic fluxes of synthetic imprinting mixed with delicate acoustic and electric guitar chords and riffs, crowd noises, fading melodic scrubs of unknown origin, feedback, echoes, pulses, vibrations, hissing waves in continuous movement... but also sudden pauses, unbelievable interludes of folk blues radio spots, crystal water sounds, static, evolving and dramatic electronic tracks, metallic ticking. An extraordinary collection pf sounds and atmospheres for this new, ambitious and exploratory project by Stefano Gentile and Gianluca Favaron.

YANNICK FRANCK & PIETRO RIPARBELLI - 'Whinny Muir' CD
(Silentes Minimal Editions)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
A singular long, deep moving, slow and expansive drone-track, built on always changing sonic masses, low frequencies, strong electric-electronic sounds, field recordings, feedback, buzzes, hisses, rough distortion, fading organ chords, cellos and orchestral parts. Alternation of progressive crescendos, ambiental pauses, sudden, dramatic and catchy dynamic shocks. An evolving and extraordinary trip through an obscure sonic journey, convincingly assembled by Italian Pietro Riparbelli (K11, PT-R) and Belgian Yannick Franck. (Y.E.R.M.O., Idiosyncrasia).

Z'EV - 'The Deep Path' CD
(Seven Solar Metals)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
A monumental album featuring three impressive tracks in which Z'EV (mythical avant-garde experimental artist, percussion master and world wide performer), collects and exhibits brave and incredible sonic solutions, mixing and alternating enormous, deep and sometimes exploding and devastating sound masses based on low frequencies, to noisy metallic sounds, gongs and cymbal stratification... all oriented in temporary resounding "tunnels", where sonic elements are mixed through suggestive cyclic echoes and reverberations, infinite pauses, joining and integrating to other sonic tracks, for an important and unique listening experience. An unmissable masterpiece!

AERE AETERNUS - 'Humanity Needs No Funeral' Enhanced CD
(Kaosthetik Konspiration)
- £11 / £12 / £13
The first full-length album from French act Aere Aeternus. Some of you will recognise the name from their tracks on 'The Obsolete View' compilation. The dominant atmosphere combines a sense of impending insanity with sexual deviancy and a large dollop of occultism, creating a dark and troubling misanthropic sojourn that is relatively unique. The final track is probably the most musical, as it is centred on a guitar arpeggio, but no such concessions to convention are present elsewhere on this deeply troubling disk. The accompanying video of "Invocation" shows a Satanic ritual and is rated 18+. Presented in a 6-panel digifile.
|
 |
ARKTAU EOS - 'Ai Ma Ra' 2 x CD (Aural Hypnox)
- £16 / £17.50 / £19
"Ai Ma Ra" is a monumental album containing over 105 minutes of experimental elemental and ambient music, original in the literal sense of the word. More than music, it is 'ethnography of the unknown' in action, providing vistas into rarely glimpsed corners of reality. Created primarily on acoustic instruments, organs and harmonium, carefully mastered on vintage tape, the sound is equally earthy as it is otherworldly – a contradiction in terms maybe, but then "Ai Ma Ra" is not classified easily in any other respect either. It is a record in which to immerse one’s self over time, containing more than two years' worth of strange experiences and sensations distilled into a curious, potent elixir, the use of which may in its truest sense be determined only by the individual listener. Ltd x 1000 copies in a sturdy, deep green cardboard box stamped with the mark of Arktau Eos. Contained within is an 8-page booklet bound in tête-bêche format on high quality paper and a small talismanic print. |
 |
ARKTAU EOS - 'Mirrorion' CD (Aural Hypnox)
- £11 / £12 / £13
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of Finnish ritual act Arktau Eos is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work. 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic elemental noise with serene passages of crystalline, spectral ambience. Comes in a six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies. |
 |
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. |
 |
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. |
 |
GHOSTS OF BRESLAU - 'Peste' CD (Twilight Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13
Ghost Of Breslau's debut album "Peste" (originally released in two very small editions on Bunkier Prods.) has finally been captured onto CD format for a larger audience. "Peste" is a voyage to the beginning of the World War II - a time when the world was on fire and violence engulfed the city of Breslau (the German name for Wroclaw). Ghosts of the past are still present here. Martial Industrial, apocalyptic war hymns, neoclassical music and dark evocations of the forces now hopefully forgotten. File next to Turbund Sturmwerk, Karjalan Sissit etc. |
 |
KIRLIAN CAMERA - 'Schmerz' CD (Twilight Records)
- £11 / £12 / £13
Re-issue of legendary Kirlian Camera album ‘Schmerz’, originally released in 1995. Kirlian Camera are the historical pioneers of the Italian electronic scene, active since 1980. 'Schmerz' is one of their masterpieces and contains some of the best tracks ever written! It is also an eclectic album, with dark folk, electronic, ethereal and many other different styles on the same record. This album sounds as fresh and new as it was recorded yesterday! Jewelcase edition. |
 |
SEWER ELECTION - 'Kassettmusik' CD (iDEAL Recordings)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Sewer Election is Dan Johansson, based in Gothenburg, Sweden, known for his extreme and nasty noise. What separates SE from the rest of the wall-of-noise-heads is that he is actually very good at creating discomfort and filth. To experience his stuff is like experiencing pure power and energy… But "Kassettmusik" is more than that and gives us another side of Sewer Election. It’s still filthy but here the sources are decaying tape loops. They seem to be feeding on themselves. It makes you feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak. |
 |
SKULLFLOWER - 'Malediction' CD (Second Layer Records)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50
Brilliant Skullflower studio recording featuring the line-up of Matthew Bower, Samantha Davies (Voltigeurs), Lee Stokoe (Culver) and Stuart Dennison (Ramleh, original Skullflower) back on drums. Three long tracks of blackened guitar wall. No one is making music that sounds like this. Comes in 6-panel digipak with artwork by Matthew Bower. Limited to 1000 copies. |
