| 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

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

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. |
