| 20.SV
- 'Insects’ CD (Autumn
Wind Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The black earth feels before it the buzzing noise
of a new dawn, the dawn of mankind's fall and the
rise of those lurking in the shadows. "Insects"
is the second manifestation of the apocalyptic extermination
device 20.SV. Taking great pride in crafting the most
realistic sounds of extermination from scratch at
their most psychologically agonizing nature, 20.SV
is firm on transmitting the simulation of your own
demise through its genuine Industrialised Post Apocalyptic
Bio-Nuclear Radioactive Frequencies. Comes in a shrinkwrapped
sleeve.
|
| ALLERSEELEN
- 'Neuschwabenland’ CD (Aorta)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
"The listener is mesmerised by siren-like strings
and metallic chimes, that glisten like frozen stalactites
in this palace of ice. Sophisticated upbeat numbers
veering toward pop territory in terms of its melody
and construction, gelid love-songs. The addition of
string and brass sections imbues the whole with a
sense of subdued tension which acts as the perfect
vehicle for Kadmon´s pondering, poetic lyrics.
Backdrobs of pulsating bass, sweeping reverberations.
Wonderfully expressive violins provide a respite from
the cold. As always with Allerseelen, the listener
is left feeling enthused and invigorated by a brilliant
listening experience. With concepts and music of this
quality, Kadmons looks set to remain at the forefront
of cutting-edge sounds for years to come." (Judas
Kiss)

ASMUS
TIETCHENS - 'Zwingburgen des Hedonismus /
Mysterien des Hafens’ CD (Die
Stadt)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Part
9 of the ongoing re-release series of all early Tietchens
albums from 1980-1991 on CD. This combines two seperate
releases from 1987 "Zwingburgen des Hedonismus")
and 1988 ("Mysterien des Hafens"). 'Zwingburgen..."
was originally released as a one-sided LP on Swedish
label Multimood and features a single 21 min. long
track composed on a Fairlight CMI. "Mysterien..."
was part of a split LP (with Die Form) originally
released on French label Odd Size and features recordings
made by Tietchens using under-water microphones. The
bonus track on this CD is a different version of the
first track and previously unreleased. 1st edition
of 600 copies with a poster booklet also featuring
the original album covers.
|
| BRENDAN
WALLS - 'Outposts’ LP (Dom
Bartwuchs) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
Brendan Walls' first release as a solo artist since
his 2002 album "Cassiafistula. Brendan has been
active in the Australian music scene for over 10 years
and has also worked with Oren Ambarchi, Greg Turkington,
Mirror, Daisuke Suzuki and others. In it's two parts,
"Outposts" creates a dream like motion from
distant drones of vaguely defined shape, towards totally
disembodied sound. The question of what is creating
the sounds the listener is perceiving becomes more
and more oblivious in the course of listening. Limited
to just 300 copies.
|
| C.
M. VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Operations Of Spirit
Communication’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Two unreleased tracks recorded in 2006. This 7"
was produced as a natural companion release to the
LP release of the same name. It comes in a full colour
sleeve reproducing the original artwork of the LP,
and continues with the theme of EVP. Limited to 500
copies on clear vinyl.
|
| C.
M. VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Operations Of Spirit
Communication’ LP (Die
Stadt) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
Limited repress of the classic album from 2000, which
is partly based on (and also dedicated to) the work
of Friedrich Jurgenson, who believed he could channel
the voices of the dead onto magnetic tape or shortwave
radio. The work was originally presented as a sound
installation that aspired to achieve communication
with other worlds utilising EVP (the installation
picks up electrical and radio transmissions: microphones
record the noise of electricity, sine wave tones are
received, and cameras capture electric behaviour).
50 minutes of seamless dark drone / buzz, gradually
getting louder and enveloping the room, even at a
low volume. Presented in a stunning, heavy-weight,
matt gatefold sleeve. Opaque vinyl, ltd x 300 copies.
|
| COLIN
POTTER & THE
HAFLER TRIO - 'A Pressed On Sandwich’
CD (Nextera)
- £13 / £14 / £15 |
 |
In 2003, shortly after attending The Hafler Trio performance
in Preston called 'How To Slice A Loaf Of Bread',
Colin Potter suggested that the two should work together.
With McKenzie being in Iceland and Potter being in
Preston, a tête-à-tête was not
easy. Andrew McKenzie mailed Potter the original source
material for the concert, which he happily reworked
into 'A Pressed On Sandwich', creating a dark, detailed
soundworld that shows off both musicians' approach
to drone atmospherics. The CD is packed in special
paper wallet with silver print, and is released in
an edition of 1010 copies, with the usual exceptional
artwork from McKenzie. A solid addition to both The
Hafler Trio and Colin Potter discographies.
|
| DAVID
JACKMAN - 'Flak' 10" (Die
Stadt) - £10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
An excellent 10" release offering two diverse
pieces. Side A is a heavy, densely layered drone piece
comprised of harsh, grating sounds all over the sound
field, but sliding from start to finish with remarkable
constancy. It's a truly beautiful noise, rather like
some of Jackman's earlier work as Organum. Side B
is a field recording, untreated, unfiltered, recorded
outdoors, with a great hiss that is very much present
in the mix. This second track seems to comment on
the drone piece in a way, acting as an alternative
exploration of its theme. Regular edition of 400 copies.
|
| DAVID
JACKMAN - 'Machine Guns’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
A 7" that lives up to its title by the enigmatic
man from Organum. Just the sound of machine guns.
Not very much manipulation. The two tracks were produced
using original archive recordings of the Imperial
War Museum in London as a sound source. Second edition
of 200 copies on black vinyl.
|
| DAVID
JACKMAN & PHILIP
SANDERSON - 'Terrain' 10" (Die
Stadt) - £10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
Two tracks from early cassette releases. Side A is
an alternative version of "Terrain" by Jackman
and Sanderson, originally released on the "0
Degrees North" cassette (Aeroplane 1982). With
Jackman overdubbing low guttural growls on a steel
strung cello and Sanderson programming coffee-percolation
on a drum machine, "Terrain" is a lo-fi
production that finds its companions in the work of
Throbbing Gristle, Hunting Lodge, and the Broken Flag
camp of noise. Side B is a solo piece by Jackman,
originally released on the 'Adrift' cassette (Snatch
Tapes 1981). It is similarly lo-fi with a hypnotic
loop of a monochromatic guitar topped with clanging
metals and samples from orchestral swells, which have
been drained of all color and replaced with a swampy
din. Regular edition of 400 copies.
|
| GELSOMINA
- 'Nostalghia’ CD (Cipher
Productions / Musically
Incorrect Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Finnish act Gelsomina will be instantly recognisable
to those with a Freak Animal fetish. This is a re-issue
of the Australian legendary cassette from 2004 (Smell
The Stench) with a bonus collaborative track from
Gelsomina & Grunt.
The delicacy of the exterior betrays the horrors within.
"Nostalghia" is an hour-long, painful, seething,
multi-edged ambient / harsh fucking noise assault!
Ltd x 500 copies in a stunning multi-layered and textured
A5 booklet.
|
| ILLUSION
OF SAFETY & THOMAS
KÖNER - 'Untitled’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Great split release from Chicago's stalwart post-Industrial
ensemble Illusion Of Safety and Germany's dronecore
specialist Thomas Köner. Illusion Of Safety takes
a confrontationist approach by opening their condensed
program with a jarring clatter of fragmented film-noir
orchestrations that are roughly broken into a nervous
drone. Köner's approach is far more subtle, gently
pushing forward a sublime drone and allowing it to
fade into silence. Released on the occasion of a rare
performance that took place on 19 September 2002 at
the Lagerhaus, Bremen. Regular edition of 400 copies.
|
| JASON
CRUMER - 'Hoss’ CDR (Audiobot) - £6
/ £7 / £8 |
 |
"Dedicated to the memory of good Dark Ambient
in North Carolina". Pure, simple, minimalist
ambient. One long experimental track recorded a long
time ago mixed with a recently-recorded ambient track.
Lush and gentle expressions of longing. 'Hoss' has
a running time over over 30 minutes. Limited to just
90 copies in a standard PVC sleeve.

| JIM
O'ROURKE - 'Two Organs’ LP (Three
Poplars) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
The second archive release following great 2003 "Scend"
LP. Two pieces for organ composed and performed in
1991 when Jim was finishing his music studies at de
Paul University in Chicago. These pieces had almost
been forgotten about as Jim's musical interests soon
took a change of direction. Only now released for
the first time in any format, this LP instantly draws
the listener inside this recently imagined timelessness.
|
| JOHN
DUNCAN / C.
M. VON HAUSWOLFF / LEIF
ELGGREN - 'Untitled’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Released in conjunction with a performance which took
place at the Lagerhaus Bremen on 26 September 2003.
Exclusive tracks by all three artists. John Duncan's
contribution is another fine example of his work with
Shortwave sounds and a sort of more aggressive version
of his acclaimed 'Phantom Broadcast' CD. C.M. von
Hausswolff delivers a spoken word piece for the first
time. Leif Elggren's piece is a short but powerful
example of his vibrating music. Regular edition of
400 copies in a full-colour foldout sleeve.
|
| JOHN
WATERMANN - 'Warmth Is The Fifth Room’
LP (Nightshift
Records) - £12 / £14 / £16 |
 |
Now this is a rare title! The first ever release from
this late Brisbane noise artist - and the original
Australian pressing from 1988! Dancy electronica /
cheesy synth, not particularly experimental! Very
reminiscent of the 80's Severed Heads sound. All LPs
are in mint and unplayed condition. Very few in stock.
|
KANIBA
- 'The Serpent, The Omega And Completion Of The First
Circle ’ CD (Autumn
Wind
Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Kaniba's Dark Ambient Presence will absorb and shroud
the listener into a reverie... a blanket of fog and
mist. Thematically, The Serpent is of the earth and
Shub-Niggurath; the womb of all, the grave of all.
Life and death, creation and destruction, the alpha
and the omega. The Serpent represents the return to
the source from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat,
and a reflection upon the journey from that moment
to what is now. Most of all, The Serpent is the end.
|
| KORA
ET LE MECHANIX - 'Excursin’ CD (Nextera)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Kora et le Mechanix explore the fields of abstract
experimental ambient music. Michal Korán previously
played in Richter Band and Forgotten Orchestra of
Dreamland, and in 2003 received the Slovak DOSKY award
for best score for the theatrical production of Peron.
Filip Homola worked previously with Die Archa and
Znamení kruhu. Two tracks on the album were
recorded at their performance in Prague, January 2006,
with Biosphere (certainly an influence on their music,
along with The Hafler Trio). Digipak, limited to 1020
copies.
|
| MATHIAS
GRASSOW & THOMAS
WEISS - 'Conscience’ CD (Nextera)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
"Conscience: An authority between the human made
ego and his creator". Grassow and Weiss present
ambient, with a slight touch of experimentalism. Deep
washes of synthesizers, with sparse, slow melodies
andsome far away, alienated sounds. Grassow and Weiss
walk the well-known path of ambient: through a misty
forest on an early sunday morning, with a touch of
sunlight. A beautiful release with sympathetic artwork.
|
| MICHAEL
GIRA - 'Songs For A Dog’ LP (Lumberton
Trading Company) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
Over the years, Michael Gira (Angels Of Light, ex-SWANS
etc) has honed his craft into something more sophisticated
without actually having lost sight of the power, emotional
tugs, or even the simplicity of his earlier works.
On 'Songs for a Dog', he has collected ten tracks
(mostly culled from releases only available via his
website, plus three unreleased tracks), that catch
him in his purest form. Mostly built around his guitar
and voice in a home studio environment, the songs
here expose perfectly how he can function without
the layers of sound he's also often fond of exploring.
These songs capture an artist who seems forever capable
of pushing himself into new avenues. Ltd x 2000 copies
in textured packaging, complete with insert and pressed
on heavy vinyl.
|
| MICHAEL
PRIME - 'Requiem’ LP (Die
Stadt) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
A prolific sound composer and an active member of
Morphogenesis, Prime has also collaborated with (among
others) David Jackman/Organum, Jim O'Rourke, Eddie
Prevost, David Toop and Adam Bohman. He's also one
half of Negative Entropy (with G. Feyton of Noise
Makers Fifes). "Requiem" is one of his most
intense works so far and quite different from his
more environmental studies. Limited edition of 700
copies on thick vinyl, in a stunning gatefold sleeve
with a textured insert.
|
NAVICON
TORTURE TECHNOLOGIES - 'The Church Of Dead
Girls ’ 2 x CD (Malignant
Records) -
£16 / £17 / £18 |
 |
RESTOCK! Having coined the term “Power Romance”,
Leech now seeks to refine and solidify the idea into
a true sound and vision of his own, once again combining
the volatile, highly charged delirium of power electronics
with the claustrophobically heavy atmospheres of dark
ambient. “The Church of Dead Girls” is
a darker and more disturbing journey than any previous
NTT release, but is nevertheless rife with the brutal
honesty which has begun to permeate every facet of
the NTT mindset. The ultimate expression of Power
Romance sensibilities, spanning more than two hours
of sonic self-evisceration. Packaged in a unique hi-rise
digipack. Few in stock – hurry!
|
NEBELKORONA
- 'Reminiszenzen An Das Morgenrot / Relikte Des Abendrotes’
Enhanced CD
(Morningside
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Nebelkorona is a project of Christoph Ziegler (Vinterriket,
Atomtrakt).
This is emotional and romantic nature music - a mixture
of Medieval, Dark Ambient and Neofolk. The perfect
soundtrack for misty autumn nights. Includes an mpeg
video for the track "Auf Flügen Des Windes"
and comes in a stunning 6-panel glossy digipak with
a special slipcase. Released on Spanish label Morningside
Records, a sub-division of Drama
Company.
|
| OBLIVION
ENSEMBLE - 'Seraphim Hallucino’ CD
(Malignant
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Over 11 years in the making (1995-2006), 'Seraphim
Hallucino' is widely considered to be Act 2 of the
"virtual" opera trilogy begun by Oblivion
Ensemble's 1995 release of 'Nightmare: Sinistrotorse'.
At Seraphim Hallucino’s source are strange,
electro-acoustic improvisations of percussion, trumpet,
voice, synthesizers and guitar- sculpted and sampled,
twisted and turned, shaped into building and diminishing
moments, and, at times appearing alone, pure and unmodified.
Deeply imbedded in the music and fragmented lyrics
are secrets, intertwining themes, voices, and imprinted
messages. All come together to create an enormously
complex, mercurial mix of surreal, dynamic and dark
sounds. “To fully appreciate the scope and intricacies
of ‘Seraphim Hallucino’, headphones in
a darkened room are highly recommended”. Released
in a stunning 6-panel digipak.
|
| ORA
- 'Morgendämmerung’ 10" (Die
Stadt) - £10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
This vinyl only release by Ora features two hauntingly
atmospheric tracks from their rare "New Movements
In G" release (150 copies) originally released
on Darren Tate's own Gnome Records label in 1998,
and were not included on the two Ora retrospective
CD compilations "Final" and "After
The Rainfall" (both on Colin Potter's own ICR
label). For these recordings Ora were: Darren Tate,
Colin Potter, Lol Coxhill, Daisuke Suzuki on the A-Side
'The Sun Sheds A Golden Tear', and Darren Tate &
Colin Potter on the B-Side 'The Impregnable'. A beautiful
piece.
|
| ORGANUM
- 'Amen’ CD (Die
Stadt) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The second installment of a short series, which began
with the "Sanctus" album issued by Robot
Records in January 2006. "Amen - Unto the Aeon
of Aeons", is a work of two parts (each track
is exactly 20:04 long), using grand piano, Hammond
organ, tower bells, gong and voices. This first edition
of 600 copies in a nice digipak with stark artwork.
|
| ORGANUM
- 'Die Letzte Musik Vor Dem Krieg’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
"Two tracks recorded in 2003 with only a vague
hint of the classic Organum sound. The drone material
is there, but the sound is slightly similar to The
New Blockaders, with the addition of random piano
chords. On side two, there is the distorted sound
of Tibetan horns added on a similar bed of sounds.
It's a distinct break away from the pure Organum drone
sound, with an interesting addition of new sounds
that especially in 'Happy' works well. David Jackman/Organum
still knows how to suprise his followers and is a
remarkable conceptualist" [FdW]. Regular edition
of 400 copies.
|
| ORGANUM
- 'Ein Schwärzeres Schwarz’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
The
two tracks featured here are a further development
from the "Die letzte Musik vor dem Krieg"
7". Jackman offers a stately cluster of looped
piano chords, with the sustain pedal firmly depressed.
Behind this arrangement, very subtle drones flutter
in the distanceOne of the best works of Organum yet!
Limited edition of 500 copies in a minimalist white
sleeve with spot varnishing.
|
| ORPLID
- 'Sterbender Satyr’ CD (Auerbach
Tonträger) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Apart
from almost purely acoustic, mostly guitar-based songs,
this release sees German Neofolk act Orplid increasingly
aiming for more ethereal soundscapes, with "Sterbender
Satyr" underlining a development that was already
apparent in its predecessor "Nächliche Jünger".
A must for those who appreciate the Dark Folk sound
of acts like The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud,
Dies Natalis, Forseti, Sonne Hagal, Waldteufel etc.
Presented in a digipak with a 16-page booklet.
|
| PANZAR
- 'Pratotypon’ CD (Old
Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The harsher and militaristic side of Peter Andersson
(Raison D'Être). "Pratotypon" contains
all you need: harsh and growling electronic sounds,
distorted and transformed beats, noise, danger and
blood from the battlefield. Tracks 1-5 were recorded
at a rare performance at Pompom in Norrkoping, Sweden.
Included in this disc is a remix of the Folkstorm
hit 'Victory Or Death'.
|
| SOL
INVICTUS - 'Devil's Steed’ CD (Dark
Vinyl) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Sol Invictus’s first outing on Dark
Vinyl is a nod back in the direction to a more earthy
folk sound. Taken from Russian folklore the title
track "Steeds For The Devil" concerns suicide,
while there are the usual happy Tony Wakeford songs.
Two traditional songs get the Sol Invictus treatment
- "Twa Corbies" and "Three Knights
Came from the West". Philip Larkin’s poem
"The North Ship" also becomes the basis
for one song. Artwork on this release is from Tor
Lundvall, with the first Limited edition coming in
a 6 panel luxury digipak.
|
| THE
NEW BLOCKADERS & ORGANUM
- 'Der Graben’ 7" (Die
Stadt) - £5 / £6 / £7 |
 |
"Der Graben" ("The Ditch") is
the final joint release by these two masters of noise
/ drone. Two unreleased classic TNB / Organum tracks
that show all the glory of this collaborative project,
which remains unique until today. The two short pieces
(just over 3 minutes in total!) are filled with metallic
scraping sounds and dissonant noise elements. This
second edition of 200 comes without the original picture
cover, but in plain black sleeves (with center hole)
and pressed on heavy black vinyl.
|
| VERDE
- 'Legenda’ CD (Musically
Incorrect Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
"Legenda" is the second official CD by Verde,
lead by electronics madman Mika Rintala (ex-Circle).
"Legenda" is a logical continuum of the
1960's and 1970's wild electronic experiments and
general recklessness of Finnish Underground Music,
with evident influences of Krautrock heroes Faust,
Can, Neu and Amon Düül - and the early Industrial
pioneers Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle etc.
"The music of Verde is not meant for superficial
listening. Verde challenge their listeners instead
of trying to please them". Limited edition of
500 copies in a beautiful digipak.
|
| VINTERRIKET
- 'Retrospektive’ CD (Nordsturm
Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |

- 'Wolfguts’ CDR (Audiobot) - £6
/ £7 / £8 |
 |
Mutant Ape as you've never heard them before. "Like
having your mind chainlocked to a maggot-infested
corpse. Blowing yourself up out of utter despair.
Depressive waves of turbulent ghosts on the move.
Your brain being reduced to the size of an onion inside
a wind-tunnel. Surrounded by the beasts of the woods.
Beware the sheep in wolves' clothing..." Claustrophobic
creep ambience / dark ambient / drone. Ltd x 70 copies
in standard PVC sleeve.

| ZOÄT
AON - 'The Triplex Bestial’ CD (Aural
Hypnox) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
A highly dynamic ambient / drone work of aural alchemy
depicting the trance and dream of a carnal totem standing
between Heaven and Earth, where the unearthly sound
of starlight's serpentine arteries winding together
with the blackened branches above mingles with the oneiric
hisses and crackles of necromantic phantoms and slithering
roots below. A barbarous, sonic paradox suggesting the
subtle arousal of the ancestry in flesh, a work both
soothing and threatening to the intuitive mind. Limited
to 1000 copies in a 7" gatefold sleeve. Finnish
import. |

GREAT
AMERICAN DESERT / DREAR
- 'Solipsis / Warring Against The Sun’ CD (Autumn
Wind
Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Desolate,
Luciferian, God-Crushing Blackened Doom Metal. Born
in the Osage Plains at the foot of the Eastern Hills;
transplanted into the grey, rain-drenched landscape
of the Northwest... Great American Desert is the essence
of desolation, the sonic representation of Lucifer on
Earth, and the emanation of the Demonic philosophy of
its mastermind. A vehicle for hatred, disgust and a
majestic mindscape. On "Warring Against the Sun",
Drear play raw blackened Doom, snatching glimpses at
the futility of Man and the failure of the universe.
