AIDAN BAKER - 'The Sea Swells A Bit...’ CD (A Silent Place) - £12 / £13 / £14
Three long and beautiful tracks construct this album. 44 minutes of hypnotic ambient drone textures in a deep psychedelic and post-rock attitude. Guitar treatments, amazing looping work and droning percussion take the listener to a peaceful state of mind. A Silent Luxurious packaging with a heavy textured glossy cover. Ltd x 1000 copies. A Silent Place is a sister label of Small Voices, Italy.

ALIO DIE - 'Aurea Hora’ 10" (Small Voices) - £10 / £12 / £14
This EP features two exclusive tracks of evocative magmatic soundscapes. The completely new recordings (with drones, loops, zither and integrated radio noises from an old Valvular model) are similar to early Alio Die experiments or to ‘Sol Niger’. Entrancing atmospheres will bring you into Stefano’s magical world, which is an oneiric, dreaming journey to the inner self. Limited to 400 hand-numbered copies with textured card artwork.

ALIO DIE - 'Under An Holy Ritual’ LP (Small Voices) - £12 / £14 / £16
Alio Die’s magnum opus on vinyl for the first time. Released on his own label Hic Sunt Leones (1992) and re-released by Projekt (1993), this is a milestone of ritual ambient music. Ghostly incantations from the void, subtly shifting frequencies and moods. Dream-inducing atmospheres and introspective drones. Stefano Musso has managed to resurrect unsettling sounds from a pre-Middle Ages epoch and merge them into a pastiche of gripping, evocative pastures for the discerning Ambient fan. Limited to 600 copies.

ARDITI - 'Standards Of Triumph’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Boasting the unique personality of Swedish combo H. Möller (Puissance) and M. Björkman, "Standards of Triumph" taps further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance that has become the band's trademark, resulting in their strongest effort so far - ever effective in their use of crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches, Arditi hereby drags the listener around muddy trenches, leaving aside overly pompous festive marches or alcohol fuelled merry bunker songs which seem to have become the norm as of late, and casting an hypnotizing veil over the turmoil of warfare-inspired Industrial soundscapes.

ASHRAM - 'Shining Silver Skies’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
Four years after their homonymous debut, the Italian ensemble finally completes their second album, “Shining Silver Skies”, a work which unfolds itself as an exercise in musical bliss and purity, drenched in sweet nostalgia that flickers through memories of aching loss or rapturous passion. The Neo-Classical style that acts as a foundation to Ashram’s music is built upon with piano, soaring violin, cello, acoustic guitar and crooning vocals. An album which not only embodies the romantic backdrop of early 1900’s glamour, but that also flirts with the Folk spirit and mellow ballads.

ATARAXIA / AUTUNNA ET SA ROSE - 'Odos Eis Ouranon - La Via Verso Il Cielo’ 2 x CD
(Equilibrium Music) - £15 / £16 / £17
Following a live performance at the church of St. Michele in Rovigo, Italian artists Ataraxia and Autunna Et Sa Rose release the songs especially arranged for this occasion onto CD, with one disc apiece. Autunna Et Sa Rose use some material from their first 3 albums, as well as interpretations of tracks by Ataraxia and Tuxedo Moon. Ataraxia rearranged a collection of their finest tracks in an entirely acoustic format, revisiting them in a warmer and more intimate form - as well as two previously unreleased songs and material never before issued on CD. Dramatic Neoclassical music, with heavenly voices, ballads and ethereal / medieval touches. Released in a deluxe double digipak with very nice booklets full of artwork, photos and lyrics. Ltd x 2000.

AUBE / LICHT-UNG - 'Split' 10" (Punk Kein Rock) - £9 / £11 / £13
First in a series of split 10"s released by the German sound project Licht-Ung (on their own label Punk Kein Rock). Aube's side features killer feedback material and complex noise, recorded using a Roland Analog Synth module. Licht-Ung's side (recorded under the guise of Dschim) is minimal / noisy electronics and feedback sounds. Limited to just 276 copies with old-skool photocopied cover artwork and inserts.

BAND OF PAIN - 'Through The Past Darkly' 2 x CD (Fin De Siècle Media) - £15 / £16 / £17
In 1994 Steve Pittis of Splintered started the side project Band of Pain, creating both beautiful and disturbing avant garde electronics. Since then he has released numerous records and CDs on labels like Dirter Promotions and Cold Spring Records, many of which are now rare and out of print. "Through the Past Darkly" is a double album which contains a "best of" as well as rare singles and previously unreleased recordings. All in all twenty track of dark cinematic ambience - with broad sweeps of gloomy drones set upon a muttering bed of noise and disconcerting vocals. We can't recommend this highly enough!

BELBORN / ROSE ROVINE E AMANTI - 'Grain' CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
Grain is a very powerful and well-known symbol all over the world. It stands for life, fertility, love and renewal. Its spiritual strength is very present in Christianity and Paganism. Despite different beliefs, two great Neofolk acts - German Belborn and Italian Rose Rovine E Amanti are united in idea of grain. Something new has arisen. A split of 13 rare, unpublished and brand new tracks with over 54 minutes of outstanding music. These are the last recordings of Belborn before the project finished in April 2006. Presented in a nice matt digipak.

DARK AGES - 'Twilight Of Europe' LP (Soldats Inconnus) - £12 / £14 / £16
Dark Ambient project by a member of Ukrainian BM act HATE FOREST. “From the breath of the Black Plague to the art of the Middle Ages, through to alchemy and the rise and fall of empires, each track sucks you into a bleak corner of European history.” Great melancholic Dark Ambient outings mixed with apocalyptic Black Ambient and semi-Neoclassical / Medieval workings. Ltd x 350 copies with completely different artwork to the CD version.

DIVINE COILS & THE DISABLED METAL ORCHESTRA - 'Live At The Wheatsheaf' CDR (Umbilical
Cord
) - £6 / £7 / £8
Divine Coils is the alter-ego of our favourite up-and-coming noise heroes Holiday Stabbings. Recorded live at the Wheatsheaf, Oxford, April 2006. A continuous wall of sound, using chants, guitars, cymbals, turntable, tapes, vocals etc. Recorded by Ryan Quarterman, and clocks in at just under 30 minutes. Should mention that the covers are all nice and hand-painted. On homemade CDR in standard PVC slip and very limited (we have the last copies).

DIVINE COILS - 'Live Shaking' CDR (Umbilical Cord) - £6 / £7 / £8
Another great release from this Holiday Stabbings side-project, this time recorded live at the Port Mahon, Oxford, March 2006. Not at all noise per se like the main project, but utilising feedback, loops, metals and drums not unlike Z`EV or even early Zoviet France. A single 25 minute track on a very limited homemade CDR, only 30 and we have the last copies. Comes in a standard PVC slip.

ENCRYPTION - 'Nosferamor' CD (Waerloga) - £12 / £13 / £14
“Nosferamor” unveils the Vampyric shroud of darkness, mysticism, love and pain. Behold the encounter of a mortal man and an undead beauty, folding into a heartbreaking love story. Feel the shivers of a passion of such depth, that the burden of immortality is but a small sacrifice. "Nosferamor" combines melancholic church music with female voices and film-like passages. Recommended for fans of classical / ethereal music with heavenly voices (Autumn Tears, Ordo Funebris, Ataraxia etc). Presented in a nice digipak.

ENCRYPTION - 'Secrecy' CD (Waerloga) - £12 / £13 / £14
Belgian act Encryption return with an enchanting ethereal and Dark Ambient album, filled with heavenly female vocals. The Legend of the secret society of Ordo Libidis put to music. A dark tale from the times of burning witches during the Inquisition, rituals, the Occult and magick. Those into Arcana, early Mortiis or yet darker ambient atmospheres, with a touch of medieval music and a slight addition of neo-classical ingredients, can't go wrong with this CD. Presented in a nice digipak.

IRMOLOGION - 'Irmologion' CD (R.A.I.G.) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Irmos 1-9 in sequence is of great importance for the perception of the of music. This resembles a horror-documentary soundtrack redefining one's dark vision of the world intoxicated by deceit, illusions, and errors. Consistently dark and deeply disturbing chants grow up from distorted references to hymns and raise up everything to the level of apocalypse. Here, the ceremony is no more a source from which the author draws his inspiration but an act provoking him to create a stunning alternative and send this painful challenge to the tempting and rupturing dogma. . A beautiful piece with hand-made cardboard packaging. Russian import. Limited to 350 copies.

JOHN DUNCAN / CARL MICHAEL VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Our Telluric Conversation' CD (23five) -
£13 / £14 / £15
The second collaborative album from audio sculptors John Duncan and Carl Michael Von Hausswolff. A bold, expressive piece of sound art, confident in its multiplicity of perspectives caught in a constant flux of attraction and repulsion. Performed with shortwave, data streams, uncanny use of the human voice, oscillators, sonar, and wire tapping microphones. The recording comes with a 40 page booklet with an interview between Duncan and Hausswolff about their histories, ideas, and methodologies. Furthermore, the packaging is completed with a braille embossed cover slip. Heavy, quality piece.

KAPOTTE MUZIEK / LICHT-UNG - 'Split' 10" (Punk Kein Rock) - £9 / £11 / £13
Second in the split 10” series released by the German sound project Licht-Ung (on their own label Punk Kein Rock). Kapotte Muziek's side is a nice mixture of both quite, and noisy sounds - groans, crackles, clicks and silences. Quite obscure. While Licht-Ung's side (recorded under the guide of Seymour) is heavy droning tones, pure feedback and microphone noises. Very nice piece. Limited to just 276 copies with old-skool photocopied cover artwork and inserts.

M. S. WALDRON / STEVEN STAPLETON / SIGTRYGGUR BERG SIGMARSSON / JIM HAYNES /
R. K. FAULHABER - 'The Sleeping Moustache' CD (The Helen Scarsdale Agency) - £12 / £13 / £14
Excellent collaboration between M.S. Waldron (irr. app. (ext.)), Steven Stapleton (Nurse With Wound), Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson (Stilluppsteypa), Jim Haynes and R.K. Faulhaber. An epiphany of controlled disorder, a convulsion of beauty, a cascade of thought from delirious minds, “The Sleeping Moustache” is an exquisite manifestation of sound poetry scattered into a tortuous collage mired in an oblique melancholy. A psychically instable landscape, where dreams and nightmares wreak havoc upon the drudgery of daily life. The closest audible territory for “The Sleeping Moustache” might be the psychoactive constructions of Nurse With Wound's “Homotopy To Marie”, although the characters in this drama happened upon an entirely different map of that terrain. This first edition features five letterpress prints from each of the artists in an edition of 1700.

NAVICON TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'Pure-Skin' CD (NCC Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
‘Pure-Skin’ is the first full length CD release from Navicon Torture Technologies since 2004's ‘The Arrow and the Wound’ and compiles a slew of limited CDR releases and new, unreleased material. Manufactured with infected prayers to demented love, hysterical reflections on obsessive lust, and psychotic meanderings of loss and recrimination, ‘Pure-Skin’ is constructed from the same decrepit DNA as previous NTT offerings, but with a new focus and purpose. Power Romance Prevails. The CD is packaged in a four panel digipak with stunning artwork. Limited to 300 copies with postcard. First few come with a very nice sticker. Act fast on this one!

NIKO SKORPIO - 'Escape From Heaven' CD (Some Place Else) - £12 / £13 / £14
Composed between 2000-2005, the musick could be described as 'industrial', mostly because it pays homage to the early Industrial groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil or Psychic TV by being a wide-ranged beast of experimentation including some nice deep dark ambient soundscapes. Escape from Heaven also carries a loose storyline that can be interpreted in occult, mythological, social and personal levels. Basically the album is a Manifesto of personal Liberation and a declaration of war against all forces of boredom and stagnation.

NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS - 'Nightscapes’ LP (Small Voices) - £13 / £15 / £17
The return of a true legend of industrial music! Probably one of the purest and most refined recordings from Nigel Ayers as Nocturnal Emissions, these seven suites find sacred atavistic rituals, Celtic resonances and natural hypnotic mantras, which bring the listener through an aural journey to the true roots of sound. The first part of the album can be compared to his masterpieces "Stoneface" or "Spiritflesh", which are more ethereal and atmospheric with beautiful natural sounds. The second part is more ritual and hypnotic with sacral moments. Presented with an elegant full colour sleeve and insert in a Limited hand-numbered edition of 555 copies on electric blue vinyl.

PIMENTOLA - 'MM-MMV' CD (Twilight Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Finnish act PIMENTOLA has been active since 1996, originally with a line-up of two members. With a limited release on War Office Propaganda last year, many of you will know what quality to expect! “MM-MMV” offers fine neoclassical/dark orchestral music, while infusing ethnic and industrial sounds. Also incorporated are self-produced samples and acoustic instruments. An album very much in the vein of bands such as In Slaughter Natives or Raison D'Etre. Pimentola is a great and refreshing discovery and promises to have a bright future! Presented in a very nice digipak.

PUISSANCE - 'Let Us Lead’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! A deluxe edition re-release for a long out of print Industrial/Neo-Classical essential release, originally released by CMI in 1996. Carefully elaborated overwhelming orchestrations brought to Puissance's Industrial structures a disturbing apocalyptic touch, impregnated with sombre beauty and bitter, often polemic, spoken-word speeches. "Let Us Lead" is finally made available again, with re-mastered sound and an additional bonus track. Presented in stunning matte-black deluxe digipak edition, with classy UV spot-varnish finishing.

SELAXON LUTBERG / SUBINTERIOR / ÁNDREIJ - 'Kether' Pro-CDR Boxset (Invitation À La Mort) -
£10 / £11 / £12
A dark journey through the secluded mazes of the human mind. Three long obsessive meditations about the intimate abyss of abandoned souls from three Italian Dark Ambient artists. 47 minutes of music on a pro-duplicated CDR. Presented in a nice textured black box with a booklet. Hand-numbered edition of 50 copies only!

SHRINE - 'The Final Asylum' CD (Corvus Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
"The final asylum" will take you into a hollow refuges lying down among the weedy ruins of deserted cities, and further, above an endless fields of rust, through an isolated cryogenic prisons, into a machine core, the source, where the history of mankind's future starts. On the borderline between ambient and industrial, the five tracks are telling us a stories of an world far in time, an world of iron plants and mechanical birds, unreal, hushed in its own rumble, waiting for its silent end beneath the rays of dying artificial suns. An world that can be. Released to coincide with Shrine supporting Raison D'Etre in Sophia, Bulgaria.

SKROL - 'Dances And Marches For The Orphan Age’ CD (Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Surfacing somewhere between the harsh attacks of In Slaughter Natives and the charisma and beauty of The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud's feminine element, Skrol's majestic and uncompromising music is based on contemporary Classical music's orchestral and melodic signatures, recreated in the depths of Industrial Ambient and therein raped by noises and sounds of modern technology. This third album is based on a more volcanic and martial conception than their previous works on labels Loki Foundation and Membrum Debile Propaganda. Highly Recommended.

STORM OF CAPRICORN - 'Retours Des Tranchees' CD (Twilight Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! A remarkable debut on Twilight Records from Storm Of Capricorn (the side project of Neon Rain, known from their split “Hopes Die In Winter” with HERR etc). “Retours Des Tranchées” offers a well balanced mix of martial pop (with the main theme being World War I) and neoclassical touches, very much in the vein of Collection D'arnell Andrea, A Challenge Of Honour or Ordo Equitum Solis, with French lyrics. The CD comes in a beautiful digipack and is strictly limited to 500 copies only.

STRANGE ATTRACTOR - 'Everything Is Closer' CD (Big Blue Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Strange Attractor are Niels VanHoorn (Legendary Pink Dots) and Richard Van Kruysdijk (Phallus Dei, Sonar Lodge) plus guest vocals by such diverse singers as Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots), Richard Sinclair and Marie-Claudine Vanvlemen (Sonar Lodge). On their debut, Strange Attractor grazes the edges of jazz, ambient and soulful electronica, combining Niels’ unique approach to an impressive arsenal of acoustic and electronic wind instruments. For lovers of broken beat and ambient alike. CD comes with a very nice slipcase and sticker.

TACTILE - 'Bipolar Explorer' CD (Else Product) - £12 / £13 / £14
Originally intended for release on Coil's "Eskaton" label, now finally made available via Elseproduct in a digipack. "Bipolar Explorer" is a journey through the mind of artist John Everall as he brings you into the isolation and beauty of his psyche and presents a glimpse of his internal landscape. For those who appreciate the experiments of "Time Machines" and "ELPh".

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'A Guide To The Legendary Pink Dots Volume 1: The Best Ballads'
CD (Big Blue Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! First volume in a Polish series of themed Legendary Pink Dots anthologies includes tracks from throughout their career. Also, the first of the reissue series with cover artwork by Zdzislaw Beksinski, the world famous Polish surreal painter. This CD contains the calmer classics by LPD from 8 early albums.

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'A Guide To The Legendary Pink Dots Volume 2: Psychedelic
Classics And Rarities' 3 x CD (Big Blue Records) - £20 / £22 / £24
Second in the series of anthology releases from Polish label Big Blue. Disc One contains a collection of their most famous psychedelic hits ( ''Waiting For The Cloud'', ''Grain Kings'', ''Citadel'', ''Green Gang'', ''Princess Coldheart'' and many others ) while Disc two brings together rare material plus an exclusive, unreleased concert from Poznan, Poland in 1996. The third disc is a VCD (plays on all computers and most DVD players) featuring concert footage, video clips, and an interview. Comes in a stunning triple digipak.

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'All The King's Horses' CD (Big Blue Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! "All The King's Horses" (and the sister album "All The King's Men") is inspired and affected by the events of September 11th. In classic LPD form, they use a nursery rhyme to evoke both the apocalyptic events of that period and the hope that has arisen from them. This album is a paradox and a provocation. As Edward Ka-Spel said "My silent wish is that this work leaves the listener hopeful. Even at a moment in time when only madmen of ALL creeds and colours seem to have the fate of this fragile planet in their hands. Let live.”

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'Prayer For Aradia' CD (Big Blue Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
A fine collection of older LPD material from the beginning of the Eighties. Originally released many years ago on the band's tiny TeKa label, and out of print for years, now finally available again through the reissue programme of Polish label Big Blue.

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'The Crushed Velvet Apocalypse' CD (Big Blue Records) -
£12 / £13 / £14
Great album recorded around the same time as "The Maria Dimension". One of the all time best and most popular Legendary Pink Dots release. All 12 tracks sparkle with a special magic you'll never forget. This is the complete version of the Play It Again Sam release from 1990 along with bonus tracks taken from the "Princess Coldheart" 12". Another essential re-issue on Polish label Big Blue.

THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS - 'The Maria Dimension' CD (Big Blue Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Considered by many fans to be The Legendary Pink Dot's opus magnum, and deservedly so. Originally released in 1992, the album is so rich in texture, so beautiful and eerie. The number of instruments used would satisfy a small orchestra. The tracks vary from beautiful acoustic ballads to long jazzy improvisations to beautiful ambient passages. Another must have. Another fine re-issue on Polish label Big Blue.

THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT - 'Of Dreams Forgotten And Fables Untold’ CD
(Equilibrium Music) - £12 / £13 / £14
The Moon and the Nightspirit present a mystical journey into the realms of dreams and beauty, long-forgotten by modern man. A journey inspired by pagan fables and ancient Hungarian folk music. "Of Dreams Forgotten" offers 9 beatific songs filled with enchanting female vocals, violins, woodwinds (kaval, low whistle, flute) and piano, accompanied by acoustic guitars and shaman/frame drums. An enchanting voyage into the ethereal realms.

WERMUT - 'Anna' CD (Punch Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
The third album of post-apocalyptic folk, ambient, minimal electro twosome WERMUT tells the story of Anna, a wooden Colin Archer yacht, which was build in the late 70s by Reiner and Petra, out of the desperate need to seek beyond their horizons. The cherished boat would lead them on a magic three-year-long journey to Scandinavia, Ireland, over the Atlantic and back. A tale of passion, of revelation, of freedom - but also of loneliness and introspection. Features guest musicians HIS DIVINE GRACE and FRL. Tost (Novy Svet). A conceptual, melancholic and visionary album from a band which defies all labelling. Comes in a very nice 6-panel digipak.
