| 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.

| 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.
***This
release contains extreme artwork of an explicit sexual
nature. Please include a statement that you are 18+
when ordering this release.****
|
| 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. |
| FIRE
IN THE HEAD - 'Kill From The Inside’
3" Pro-CDR (L-White
Records) - £5 / £6 / £7 |
 |
Fire In The Head (aka Michael Page) whets the blade
for this L. White release with 5 tracks of unrelenting,
razor sharp Power Electronics and dark, Harsh Noise.
This is some of F/I/T/H's most vicious work yet. Get
this if you like your noise cold and brutal in the
way of Slogun, Institut, Propergol etc. Ltd x 200
in a special mini-DVD case. Professionally duplicated
CDR and artwork. Very nice piece.
|
| 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.

FRANCESCO
PALADINO & OPIUM
- 'Nosesoul - Angel Ghost And Human Shades’ CD (Hic
Sunt
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. These sounds are pure breath,
pure prayers, pure mourning and pure pleasure. Paladino
says "I found I've a voice inside me but it is
not mine. I supported it through my 'nosesoul' and 'lamentationes'
researches." A very good ambient work, introspective
and dreamy. |
FRANCESCO
PALADINO & SEAN
BREADIN - 'Musica Fivto’ CD (Hic
Sunt Leones) - £12 / £13 /
£14 |

Elaborated

made by Francesco Paladino, and then mixed, processed
and integrated by Sean Breadin. 'Musica Fivto' contains
totally acoustic improvisations with pocket corner,
crwth, viola, gusle, voice, bendhir. A very original
combination of improvisational music, drones and weird
folk. On the label of Stefano Musso (Alio Die). |

Animal) - £12 / £13 / £14 |

soon into obscurity, so Freak Animal decided to make

more Power Electronics. orientated live assault - with

"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. Most of the text on this album is taken
from poems written by one of the strikers - on toilet
and cigarette paper with the refill of a biro-pen, hidden
inside his body in the years before he died. The sounds
on this album vary from dark and cold songs á
la GalaktHorroe to early SPK-like Heavy-Electronic tracks.
All with hard or subliminal rhythms and psychic analogue
frequencies. CD version in jewel case. |

TRANSLATIO - 'Enigma’ CD (Hic
Sunt Leones) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Enigma
is an ambient album, with drones and dark ambient elements.
Eight imaginary landscapes wavering between the earth
and the cosmos, sometimes returning on the dark atmosphere
of the first album, but with a few acoustic elements
more clear. 'Enigma' begins with some obscure and enigmatic
atmospheres, transitioning into more open / light tracks:
looped sounds of the played cords of the zither, tubes,
treated field recordings and small sounds of shells
and bells add layers to the electronic magma. An intimate,
introspective CD. |
| STAHLWERK

CD (Steinklang)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The
new album from the German grandmaster of Death Ambient.

numerous elements of Dark Ambient, Death Industrial,
Noise and Power Electronics, and this release shows

sinister moods that build detail and allow for different

x CD (Freak
Animal) - £15 / £16 / £17 |
 |
Tiermes

existence since 1994. Using various instruments and
objects such as guitars, analogue synths, metal percussions
and junk metal, they create an original meld of sounds

psychedelic music. Hypnotic and dense with overloaded
basses and a strong old-school industrial touch. Ltd
x 300. Comes in jewelbox with a foldout poster cover.
|
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". Triarii secure their position
on the heavily disputed military pop genre combining
martial, bombastic and neo-classical tunes. Features
a very nice collaboration with Tomas Pettersson (Ordo
Rosarius Equilibrio). On top of all this, it was mastered
by In Slaughter Natives. Simply the best Martial Industrial
album this year or any other. Ltd x 999 copies only
– act fast!

of 30 CDRs on Fight Muzik, 'The One Not With U.S.'

artwork. 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.

music and old Soviet hymns. Ltd x 500. Imported from

DIE - 'Aqua Paning’ CD (Hic

Werner
Durand and Alio Die create a sonorous, powerful, impervious
space; sometimes liquid, subtly endearing. 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. |

ARTISTS - 'Noise Battle Royale' CDR (L-White
Records) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
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.
