DEATH IN JUNE - 'The Snow Bunker Tapes' CD (NER) - £15

‘The Snow Bunker Tapes’ are the original guitar/Totenpop versions of the 13 songs that became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album. They were recorded between December 2009 and July 2010 in Adelaide, Australia, and are the original recordings that were given to Miro Snejdr to transcribe onto his piano. They eventually became the ‘Peaceful Snow’ album, which was released in 2010. Although these songs were recorded in a studio setting, no track is as sonically “built” as most Death In June songs are. There are no samples, multi-tracked vocals, effects or even percussion, and studio editing has been kept to a minimum so you can hear talking between some tracks. Douglas P, in describing the material, said “To paraphrase one of Alan McGee’s favourite lines, ‘It’s pure (Toten) pop!’” The CD is packaged in a deluxe glossy embossed gatefold cover.

All LP / 12" Vinyl

LYKE WAKE - 'The Long Last Dream' CD (Final Muzik) - £10.50

Long-awaited reissue of this 80's classic by this cult Italian Industrial act. Originally released on cassette back in 1987 (Aseptic Noise / Misty Circles), "The Long Last Dream" includes Lyke Wake's best experimental oniric ambient music plus an exclusive, 26 minute bonus track, originally released on "Untitled", a very rare split cassette-tape with Negativ Person (Aseptic Tapes, 1988). Ltd x 300 copies in a digisleeve with artwork by Deison.

MAGNETICA ARS LAB / MAURIZIO BIANCHI - 'LoopKlängeNoise' CD (Final Muzik) - £11

Magnetica Ars Lab is the musical project founded Arnaldo Pontis, computer specialist and electronic musician, active as a member of TH26, Machina Amniotica and many other musical projects. "LoopKlänge Noise" is the magnificent result of his collaboration with the father, founder and precursor of industrial sound in Italy: Maurizio Bianchi. The album was inspired by the work of Vasilij Kandinskij's theories about necessary contamination between visual art and music. Following the original structure of the book "Verses Without Words" the artists recorded 13 double-titled tracks, in which the "second title" is an hommage to Kandinskij's 13 pictorial works originally included in this book. Features exclusive guest artists on each track: Fausto Rossi (Faust'o), Simon Balestrazzi (T.A.C.), Corrado Altieri (Candor Chasma, TH26), Raimondo Gaviano (Svart1), Mauthausen Orchestra, Nicola Boari (SLP), Nicola Locci (Exagonal), Massimo Olla (Noisedelik), Alex Nasi (Colonel XS), Roberto Belli (Brigata Stirner), Kaiser Schnitt Amboss Laszlo, and more.

PEPE WISMEER - 'Le Stridor De L'Escargot' LP & CDR (Equation Records) - £18

Pepe Wismeer is a duo from the Champagne-Ardennes region of France, making their own unique brand of music since 1999. "The very personal universe of Pepe Wismeer is dumbfounded by irresitable beauty and ambiguous melancholy. Mingling this with haunting dreamlike ambient and dark delirium, the duo brings in its ballet and its heart the ghosts of The Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, The Cure and even Avro Pärt". This LP has a special "DJ-confusion" cut (where the track marks do not coincide with the actual tracks themselves) and was done as an homage to Throbbing Gristle's "D.O.A." who pioneered this mischievous tactic around 35 years ago with their own DJ-confusion cut. This vinyl LP + CDr E.P. (different music) is strictly limited to 100 numbered copies, with numbered photographic insert.

PETER ANDERSSON - 'Music For Film And Exhibition 3' CD (Wrotycz) - £11

'Music for Film and Exhibition 3' is, as the name suggests, the third album with film and exhibition music by Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). It contains music for various exhibitions from 2011-2013 and also some recently found early sketches for the 'Tulpa' soundtrack, which was released in their full and final versions on the 'Music for Film and Exhibition I'. Technically 'Music for Film and Exhibition 3' is the first album by Peter Andersson which is mastered according to the so called K-14 standard. The K-14 system will ensure that the highest dynamical range will be preserved in the music. It will benefit the listener because the music will simply sound much greater than a hot or over-compressed album. All one need to do is to give an extra push one the amplifier volume control to match the loudness of a hot mastered album. Comes in a 6-panel digipak.

All Peter Andersson Titles

SEALED IN BLOOD - 'Coemeterium' CD (Heerwegen Tod Productions) - £10.50

Third album of Dark Ambient from this Polish act, and their first CD-proper. Named “Coemeterium”, it is the darkest album in the existence of this lower Silesian project. "Graven night, cold and gloomy autumnal atmosphere with drone echoes, gongs and creaking living elements. Full of death, fullmoon in the fog, dark side of nature, catacombs, graveyards and ancient burial ceremonies".

SKULL:AXIS - 'The Transparent Society' CD (Peripheral Records) - £11

Bleak, cold and paranoid Industrial from Peripheral Records' label boss Jason B Bernard. 'Seen through a lens, observed, captured and processed. Surveillance as contemporary instrument of control or society under vigilance?'. Surveillance is the monitoring of the behaviour, activities, or other changing information, usually of people for the purpose of influencing, managing, directing, or protecting. Surveillance is therefore an ambiguous practice, sometimes creating positive effects, at other times negative. It is sometimes done in a surreptitious manner. It most usually involves observation of individuals or groups by government organizations (though there are some exceptions, such as disease surveillance, which monitors the progress of a disease in a community without for that matter directly observing or monitoring individuals). Ltd x 150 copies only!

SUNSET WINGS - 'Shining Thro' The Veil Of Night' CD (Wrotycz) - £11

With their third album Sunset Wings follow the line of making the musical setting for the ravishing poetry pearls of bygone ages. This time Night is the lady that covers the entire work with her starry mantle. Old hymns, lullabies and romantic visions shine through the darkness of her eyes... Sounds of cello and violins, guitars, flutes and bells scatter with bright melodies upon the path of Parent Goddess. Raise your head to see the white mares of the moon rushing along the sky, open your ears to hear the ancient drums waking the spirit of Night! The torches burn and Pan leads a procession! Make a step on a bridge across the dream, let the journey start. Comes in a 6-panel digipak with enchanting artwork by Alexander Vorodeyev.

All Sunset Wings Titles

SUTCLIFFE JUGEND - 'Pursuit Of Pleasure' LP (ASIA) (4iB Records) - £30

Over 7 tracks, "Pursuit of Pleasure" demonstrates the maturity of Sutcliffe Jugend as an experimental outfit who has redefined themselves through creative manipulation of sound textures. From their progressive redevelopments of careful structured organic elements of audio layers over the decades, this album brings forth the innovative evolution that highlights the creative processes of both Kevin and Paul, departing from the original 80′s power electronics style of harsh noise into progressive post genre movements. This album successfully emphasizes Sutcliffe Jugend’s artistic creativity as visionary musicians through their conscious attempt of reinventing themselves by incorporating new influences and their personal interests to break new ground in the contemporary experimental music scene.

This 'Asia' edition comes on red/gold splatter 180gm vinyl, with a 'yellow' inner sleeve and hand-numbered A3 poster featuring the victims. Ltd x 300 copies in a high quality gatefold sleeve with a numbered album description sticker.

All Sutcliffe Jugend Titles All LP / 12" Vinyl

SUTCLIFFE JUGEND - 'Pursuit Of Pleasure' LP (INTL) (4iB Records) - £30

This 'International' edition of the above release comes on black/clear split 180gm vinyl, with a 'blue' inner sleeve and hand-numbered A3 poster featuring Peter Sutcliffe. Ltd x 300 copies in a high quality gatefold sleeve with a numbered album description sticker.

All Sutcliffe Jugend Titles All LP / 12" Vinyl

ULTRA MILKMAIDS & HARRIS PILTON - 'Weaks End' LP (Psych.KG) - £13

10 tracks from rock (different styles - Folk-Rock, Alt-Rock, Ballads etc) to ambient, far away from the normal type of music we know from Ultra Milkmaids. Every track has a different style. It's a fantastic documentary of the commercial side of Ultra Milkmaids and Harris Pilton. Ltd x 200 numbered copies with 2 inserts.

All Ultra Milkmaids Titles All LP / 12" Vinyl

VERDANT - 'Sincerity' CD (Existence Establishment) - £11

With this work Zach Adams (BKPR) presents a new dimension to noise in the form of quiet power electronics. The work of Verdant focuses on spoken word, secret promises, dusty corners, delicate instruments, and obsolete equipment. In the span of a few tracks Verdant’s sound can range from a seething attack of brooding noise and industrial to carefully constructed soundscapes that have been packed away in the attic of an old victorian where even the walls whisper of the things they’ve seen. Sincerity opens up a complex inner world of lost loves, silent betrayals, hidden jealousies, and blind grief forcing the listener to stumble in the darkness of a familiar place. Ltd x 200 copies in a digipak.
+ BACK IN STOCK! +
DIETER MÜH - 'Aakal' 7" (Harbinger Sound) - £7

Excellent slab of experimental Drone from this UK duo, originally recorded in 2001/2, and finally released on Harbinger in 2008. "Nostrum" and "Earblind" (Uden) were recorded in Nottingham in 2001, whilst "Aakal" (Cammack) was recorded in Exeter, Devon in January 2002 (with Michael Parker, the bassist from Appliance). The main body of "Aakal" is samples from recordings made with taped conversations from OTO member Frater Kane and the odd sound from one of Michael's home made FX boxes. Ltd x 400 copies on camouflage / marbled vinyl in a gatefold sleeve with sticker.

DIETER MÜH - 'Cari Saluti' CD (Tesco Organisation) - £10.50

A collage of an album using chance, spontaneity and improvisation to create texture. Consisting of tape manipulation of voices and loops, field recordings of airport terminals and travelogues plus electro-acoustics, all multi-layered in a process of carefully controlled manipulation. A hallucinatory journey into darkness. Digipak.

DIETER MÜH - 'Stockholm Monsters' LP (Harbinger Sound) - £11

An album of prime-Müh headspin recorded live at the Fylkingen in Stockholm back in November 2001. Active in some form or other since 1979, this record captures the duo of Dave Uden & Steve Cammack in better form than their Tesco Org. releases. Great post-industrial experimentation! Includes insert with Swedish text.

DIETER MÜH - 'The Call' LP (HaemOccult) - £12

The first side of this LP is a 23 minute piece entitled "The Call" featuring Lon Milo DuQuette, legendary occultist and leading / longest serving, member of the OTO in California. Lon intones the 19 calls of the Aythers in the Enochian language in a truly enlightening piece of ritual magick! The second side entitled "Sutreworde" is a live performance by Dieter Müh, from 2003 in Leipzig, Germany, featuring pieces from "The Call" woven into the 23 minute set. Ltd x 230 copies on white vinyl.

DIETER MÜH / MNEM - 'Atomyriades' CD (Cipher Productions) - £10

The UK's Dieter Muh (Dave Uden alone this time) manipulates Finland's MNEM. "Solid collaborative effort between these known, but still some what obscure groups, delivering 8 tracks of dark, abstract atmospheres, with an array of layered, slightly organic sounds and processed manipulations; unknown insectile noises (of a larger variety I might add), sub-aquatic, droney washes, and deep rhythmic pulsations, with a dash of industrial clutter thrown in. Quite active and constantly in motion, allowing this to work very well as background music, or with headphones to pick up the multiple nuances and ultra-hypnotic qualities. I'm not quite sure what I was expecting, but I like this a lot more than I thought I would" (Malignant). Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

RUKKANOR - 'Deccarah' CD (SkullLine) - £11

Rukkanor is Robert Marciniak Across The Rubicon. Rukkanor ambitiously combines the orchestral bombast of The Protagonist with the thundering rhythm of Sephiroth, and throws in middle eastern music, woodwinds, and Gregorian chants, with a few songs is the back ground atmosphere a remains of old Dead Can Dance. A fantastic combination of Orchestral, Neoclassical and Martial sounds. Ltd x 300 hand-numbered copies in a white jewelcase.

TEHO TEARDO - 'Tower / Microphone' CD (Final Muzik) - £10

"For his latest release, Mauro Theo Terado transformed an ancient tower into a giant microphone by secreting 24 contactcs mics inside, outside and between the cracks in the building. He then sounded the envronment with guitar, rhodes and eleactronics, filtering the signals from various mics. The resulting music is lush, eventful and often very beautiful, but it is extremely difficult to relate the material to the fascinating methodology that produced it, to the extent that I satrted to suspect thet there had been a mistake at the pressing plant and I was listening to a new Labradford album or something. Essentialy Tower/Microphone is a top-notch Ambient sounscape, dreamy and evocative, but more redolent of billowing clouds and tidal drifts than groaning stresses of brick, iron and mortar than might be expected." (The Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a digisleeve.

VON THRONSTAHL - 'Return Your Revolt Into Style' 2 x CD (Trutzburg Thule)
- £17


This is the much demanded and long overdue re-release of the extremely rare album, originally released in 2002. The album was originally limited to 500 hand-numbered copies and came in very special packaging: The CD was mounted on a glass plate inside a 6" black box with gold-embossed logo & title on front. Regarded as one of the most original and finest Von Thronstahl CDs, this is the first time, that this long ‘lost' album is being re-released. All tracks have been digitally re-mastered. This special re-release furthermore comes with a second CD, densely packed with rare remixes, different versions of well known tracks and a number of previously unreleased, exclusive tracks! 8-panel digipak in slipcase.
