AARON DILLOWAY - 'Asset Stripping’ LP (Chondritic Sound / Hanson Records) - £13 / £15 / £17
‘Sometime in 2004 I was asked to contribute a track to the The New Blockaders Viva Negativa! tribute. While working on this I ended up recording a 20-minute track using 20 8-track loops of 20 years of material from The New Blockaders. The day after this was recorded, I was to play a gig in Detroit w/ Emil Beaulieau. I decided to keep the TNB loops and use them for the show. I gave the recordings to Rupenus, who suggested the release of this LP. Side 1 = Studio track, Side 2 = Live track.’ (Aaron Dilloway). Ltd x 300 copies with printed insert. Rare Few in stock – act fast!

A CHALLENGE OF HONOUR - 'Oradour Sur Glane’ 10" (Divine Comedy) - £10 / £12 / £14
The third and final opus from the "Trilogy of Human Madness". This release is a touching homage to one of the most sordid episodes of WWII "Oradour-sur-Glane". It's a tribute to the many innocent victims of this village who were slaughtered in the name of a vengeance that didn’t concern them, and a denunciation of war and genocides as a whole. Here you’ll find again the unique ACOH touch of choirs, organ and symphonic parts, enhanced this time by some guitars. Due to a factory mistake, the paper centres are on the wrong sides. Ltd x 415 copies on black vinyl.

ALIO DIE & FESTINA LENTE - 'Il Sogno Di Un Piano Veneziano A Parigi’ CD (Hic Sunt Leones) -
£12 / £13 / £14
Alio Die and Festina Lente create a place where memories of the past rest with filmic nostalgia. There at the border where a personal moment ends, and the taste of an impersonal experience beings, with a longer breath. The field recordings were collected in Paris, East-Asia, and America by Alio Die, kimsonJa and Francesco Paladino - rituals, animals, objects and spontaneous voices in the street. Ambient tracks are alternated with more intense and obscure moments, without breaking the solution of the continuum, through the organic elaborations of the sound's die.

ARCARDIA - 'Arcardia’ 10" (Halbwelt) - £10 / £12 / £14
The music on Arcardia’s debut sways towards classic Neofolk acts such as Death in June, Lux Interna, Argine or even Leger des Heils. However Arcardia are independent and show that they are creative and fond of experimenting. The songs are classically arranged with acoustic guitar, melodious keyboard sounds, bass and drums that create an atmospheric mood. This forms the adequate background for the English, German and Spanish lyrics and accentuates the male and female voices. A high-quality item with printed inner sleeve and cover. Ltd x 500.

AUBE - 'Comet’ 2 x CD (Troniks / Cipher Productions) - £15 / £16 / £17
Comet is unique within the Aube oeuvre. For its sound sourcing Akifumi Nakajima dedicating a disc each to manipulating the sounds of "ice" and "space" for an extended exploration of the coldest, furthest reaches of the universe. This sincere exploration of sound is a lush range of crunchy ambient, rhythmic sound matter, dark noise, deep drones, spatial ambience and textural explorations. Ltd x 500 copies.

CLINIC OF TORTURE - 'Whip & Pierce / Perversion’ CD (Freak Animal) - £12 / £13 / £14

Due to demand, this is a re-release of the COT debut LP "Whip & Pierce" (originally 200 copies on FA) and "Perversion Bizar" 3" CDR (70 copies on FA). Sadistic industrial noise with completely reprinted artwork. Ltd x 200.

CRISIS - 'Holocaust Hymns’ CD (Apop Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Crisis came into existence in the late '70s amidst the British hardcore punk movement. They took the same energy that came from the youthful, raw anger of the Oi! movement, but with restrained lyrical phrasing and strict rhythms. Members include Douglas P. and Tony Wakeford who would later expand upon some of the Crisis material for their Neofolk group DEATH IN JUNE. Wakeford later went on to form SOL INVICTUS, whilst Luke Rendall and Lester Jones would later find involvement in Theatre Of Hate and Sex Gang Children, respectively. This is Crisis' entire remastered discography from 1978-1980, complete with a 12 page booklet featuring exclusive photos from Douglas P.'s private archives.

FIVE THOUSAND SPIRITS - 'Quantum Consciousness’ CD (Sempiterna Mutatio) - £12 / £13 / £14

After seven years of silence, Raffaele Serra and Stefano Musso (Alio Die) return. 'Quantum Consciousness' is a mysterious electronic journey of 5 tracks (without interruption) that, though still ambient music, comes close to '70s-era electronic cosmic music. An unbroken journey of great intensity characterized with an electronic refined touch and a flood- like vitality, always at the threshold of mystery's whirlpool. Powerful electronic mantras that in these lands have already given some kind of earthly utterance. Great artwork in gold print on dark green.

Leones
) - £12 / £13 / £14
Opium and Francesco Paladino met in 2002. For 'Nosesoul' Opium's sessions were improvised and directly mixed with Francesco's voices.

I supported it through my 'nosesoul' and 'lamentationes' researches." A very good ambient work, introspective and dreamy.

Cronenberg was originally released as 3" CDR, limited to just 50 copies.

"Prison Poems" is a conceptual work about the Irish civil-rights movement of the 1970’s. This album deals with the fate of a handful of young IRA hunger strikers, imprisoned for political affairs, but then simply sentenced as criminals.

An intimate, introspective CD.

The new album from the German grandmaster of Death Ambient. On this album Stahlwerk 9 presents his noisy side. It still sounds like a typical Stahlwerk 9 album, but is loaded with droning and pulsating noise sequences and deep voices from the valley of death. Recommended! CD version in jewel case.

STEEL HOOK PROSTHESES - 'Torturous Anxiety’ Pro-CDR (L-White Records) - £10 / £11 / £12

Texan act Steel Hook Prostheses has always confidently combined numerous elements of Dark Ambient, Death Industrial, Noise and Power Electronics, and this release shows them developing that concoction even further.

THE DOMESTIC FRONT - 'Having Achieved Balance, You Cannot Be Moved Sideways’ CD
(Belsona Strategic) - £12 / £13 / £14

"Having Achieved Balance..." consists of 4 epic-length tracks of electrified beauty and brutality, recorded and composed in various locations in urbanized Japan and the deserted American plains. TDF's music is a mesh of heavily camouflaged, processed electronics and similarly obscured environmental noises. Issues of insecurity, isolationism and private/public dichotomy are also at the centre of this psycho-acoustic sound project. A concentrated attack on 'anthropocentrism'. A pure sensation.


THOROFON / THE MUSICK WRECKERS - 'Untitled’ 7" (Front Of Gnark) - £4 / £5 / £6

The final release under the name Thorofon and at the same time the first release under their new name The Musick Wreckers (featuring among others Geneviéve Pasquier). You pretty much know what to expect from Thorofon at this point, but the two tracks from TMW make throw you… demented, uneasy, strange funk-industrial with low key, dead pan vocals. Interesting to see where they take this. Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies with insert.


TRIARII - 'Pièce Héroique’ CD (Eternal Soul) - £12 / £13 / £14

With their second album Triarii keep marching on the military trail, having significantly improved since their debut "Ars Militaria".

The album was inspired by war in Iraq and it’s dedicated to youth generation, who live during totalitarian regimes of XX century. The album belongs to ‘martial’ era in VK’s sound and could be compared to LJDLP or Turbund Sturmwerk. 40 minutes of noisy analogue soundscapes, martial music and old Soviet hymns. Ltd x 500. Imported from Belarus.


WERNER DURAND & ALIO DIE - 'Aqua Paning’ CD (Hic Sunt Leones) - £12 / £13 / £14

A meeting of mysterious sounds, both improvised and organised, of traditional and self-made wind-instruments and their hybrids by Werner Durand with editing, loops and enviromental recordings by Alio Die. The accurate tuning and special timbres of Werner Durand`s playing is settled in the peculiar atmospheres created by Alio Die, evoking unique interwoven listening spaces, rich with hues and shades, continuously evolving.

A sonic tribute to Japanese master filmmaker Kinji Fukasaku (who revolutionized the Japanese gangster genre in the 1970s), featuring Hentai, MSBR, Sickness, and Seedmouth. Not as noisy as the title suggests; in fact, some fairly structured material, especially from Hentai, who fittingly use mainly punching, machine gun style rhythmic loops. MSBR, in typical fashion, deliver some quality atmospheric noise; harsh, but droning and layered. Sickness utilize mainly samples in a fast paced, cut up fashion for the first track, then hit hard with a full on blast. Finally, Seedmouth come forth with 15 minutes of swirling, surreal atmospheres incorporating samples. Ltd x 200 in oversized packaging in protective bag. Professionally duplicated CDR and artwork.
