JOHN WATERMANN | Calcutta Gas Chamber (CSR52CD)

Available: October
The concept of aurally conveying the horror of a gas chamber was realised through field recordings in an abandoned electrical power station in Brisbane in 1992. The sounds are grating and harsh, a mixture of field recordings and electronic manipulations. One can rarely pinpoint a location or action but the images the sounds conjure up are of all sorts of nefarious activites related to death by machinery. The sleeve notes take you into the horror that is the Calcutta Gas Chamber. A beautifully composed and produced CD, completely remastered and re-packaged.

ABANDONED SHELTER - 'Yersinia Pestis’ Pro-CDR (Construct.Destroy) - £10 / £11 / £12
This Bulgarian artist creates great Dark Ambient, whch is heavily atmospheric with Eastern European undertones. "Yersinia Pestis" is a conceptual album, dedicated to the Black Plague, which will take you to dark places in medieval times, when the horror of the Plague was omnipresent. 40 minutes of excellent music on a pro-duplicated CDR. Ltd x 166 copies in a square DVD case with handnumbered insert. Very nice piece indeed!

A CROWN OF LIGHT - 'The Clearing’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
A Crown of Light is a collaborative project between American artists Brandon Elkins (A Crown of Amaranth) and Robert Hunter Osgood (Conversations About the Light). ‘The Clearing’ is a laid back Dark Ambient record with some experimentation, some Concrete Music soundscapes, and some noisy electronics. But predominantly the album unfolds in a calm, and ominous manner, with various organic samples and vocals limited to just one song. An intriguing project to watch out for.

ANTONIO TESTA - 'Radioforest’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Covering a wide range of sounds from ethno-ambient to ritual and field recordings, Radioforest takes the listener on an exotic aural journey to the faraway lands, to unknown gods and bizarre rituals. Guest stars: Alio Die and Opium. Russian import. Strictly limited to just 500 copies!

BEEQUEEN - 'Der Holzweg - The 13th Anniversary Edition’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
The 13th anniversary edition of the famous Beequeen debut CD, orginally released by Anomalous Records. 'Der Holzweg' is an electronic drone classic by the two Dutch artists, Frans de Waard & Freek Kinkelaar. The music on this CD is best described as heavily analogue sounds, layered with effects and recordings bording ambient soundscapes. This edition also includes a previously unreleased bonus track. Remastered by Raymond Steeg. Presented in an outsized gatefold sleeve. Russian import. Ltd x 500.

COELACANTH & KEITH EVANS - 'Wrack Light In Copper Ruin’ CD + DVD (Sea Pool)
- £16 / £17 / £18
RESTOCK! Jim Haynes & Loren Chasse collaborate with Keith Evans to create Coelacanth's 4th and most complex record. Culled from two performances, 'Wrack Light in Copper Ruin' meditates on the space of performance, the tactile nature of the creation of sound, and its ephemeral, elusive and entirely subjective character. The visuals of Keith Evans further the exploration with their organic, nocturnal, energy. More delicate than Coelacanth's previous recordings, 'Wrack Light' inhabits a space where artists such as Jonathan Coleclough, Andrew Chalk, Mirror, and MNortham can be found, yet it maintains the mysterious, oceanic nature its name implies. CD & DVD in a jewel case.

DANIEL MENCHE - 'Wings On Fire’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
Scorching and searing drones, heated and flaming rhythms and a burning ritualistic sonic force to be reckoned with. This noise inferno soars with volume and intensity that makes it the unheard soundtrack for the flight of Icarus - that is, if his wings did not melt and he did actually fly to the sun. This is Daniel Menche at his most ferocious sonic exploration. Call it extreme ambient or gorgeous noise,' Wings on Fire' is a must-have release to incinerate the speakers and melt the listener to a beautiful submission of sonic power. Presented in an outsized, textured gatefold sleeve. Russian import. Ltd x 555.


DIE MACHT - 'Blut Unter Den Fahnen’ LP (Slaughter In Art) - £13 / £15 / £17
Apocalyptic war music from this Swiss outfit. Literally meaning 'more blood under the flag", this LP is "...a homage to the victims of allied bombardments, and in particular to the town of Dresden". Martial post-Industrial, orchestral, neoclassical with dark ambient. Heroic imagery with some German historical excerpts. Presented in a nice, embossed sleeve. Limited, numbered edition of 500 copies with inserts.

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'The Infinite Sea Of Sustain’ Audio DVD (Soleilmoon) - £16 / £17 / £18
Fear Falls Burning is Dirk Serries' love letter to the world of electric guitar drones. Best known for his solo act VidnaObmana, he launched Fear Falls Burning in 2005 as an outlet for his fascination with lo-fi and post-rock music, and as a way to return to his roots in drone music. This DVD release features 6 full-length and exclusive live concerts performed during his German tour in 2005. Each of the 6 performances is a single, uninterrupted improvisational composition, accompanied on screen by an abstract live photograph from the concerts. *** These are not music videos, and there is no motion picture footage!*** Over 4 1/2 hours of music! Presented in a stunning A5 folder made from hand-processed wood grain paper - custom made for Soleilmoon by Shantilal & Sons of Bombay, India - and no two copies are alike. A screen-printed insert and three postcards rest with the disc in a pocket inside of the folder, and an o-band on the outside holds the whole package together. Ltd x 500. Region 0.

JARL - 'Akatisi / Somnolens - Part I-VI’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
Latest solo release from Erik Jarl of IRM. Sustained static fields and repetitive patterns construct expressive layers of sound in contrasting colours. Delicately and ambitiously put together to a transcendental cycle. Music for occidental meditation. Presented in an outsized gatefold sleeve. Russian import. Ltd x 500.

LAURENT PERRIER - 'Downfall Disperse’ 2 x CD (Sound On Probation) - £15 / £16 / £17
Not to be confused with the champagne of the same name, this is the first solo album in a decade by this French artist (member of Zonk’t / Nox and label manager of Odd Size). ‘Downfall’ is a single track which develops ultra slowly, with very low, organic rumbling and hypnotic bass. The composition seems minimalistic but yet complex, absorbing and disintegrating, cold yet organic. ‘Disperse’ is also a singular track, but is more in the vein of concrete electro-acoustic music. Inspired by the compositions of Steve Reich, loops are copied, layered and moved around, so that the listener is under the permanent impression of growing turbulence and spatial buzzing.

LES AFFRES DE LA MORT - 'Vorwärts : Freiheit : Europa’ LP (Slaughter In Art) - £13 / £15 / £17
Martial and Neofolk anthems, with solemn, haunting Dark Ambient passages. 17 tracks in total from this French artist ("the pangs of death") on newly-founded French label Slaughter In Art. Limited edition of 500 copies in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve with an A2 hand-numbered poster. A very nice piece indeed - act fast!

MAEROR TRI - 'The Beauty Of Sadness’ CD (Tantric Harmonies) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! “The Beauty of Sadness” appeared in February 1996 as cassette-only release on the cassette-only label Direction Music (Wales). This was Maeror Tri’s 11th full-length tape, and appeared in 1996 only shortly before their disbandment. The most beautiful, saddest and melancholic Maeror Tri album ever - softer and more melodic than most Maeror Tri recordings. The bonus-track "Immersion In Emotion" was recorded 10/1993 and appeared only on the "From The Hills Of Dream" Compilation. Ltd x 700 copies only.

MEGAPTERA - 'You Will Never Survive This Nightmare’ 2 x CD (Live Bait Recording Foundation)
- £15 / £16 / £17
This release was an unexpected bonus for the 15 year anniversary of cult Industrial act Megaptera. This double CD set includes completely remastered versions of the extremely limited cassettes "You Will Never Survive This Nightmare" (Slaughter Productions 1995), tracks from "You Will Recover" (Nüxdorf 1991), "Nightmares" (Anomalous 1992), and also inlcudes a recording from London in May 2001. Over 2 hours of music. Get re-aquainted with your Death Industrial roots! Ltd x 1000.

PHRAGMENTS - 'Awaken The Wolves' Pro-CDR (Construct.Destroy) - £10 / £11 / £12
The fourth CD of Phragments is a compilation of live tracks from 2006. "Awaken The Wolves" contains five songs from the album "Homo Homini Lvpvs" (live versions) and three brand new tracks, also played live, which will be released only on this recording. Stunning orchestral industrial combined with Dark Ambient and a martial atmosphere! File next to A Challenge Of Honour, Arcana and Karjalan Sissit. Pro-CDR presented in a slimline DVD case with handnumbered insert. Ltd x 113 copies only!

PHRAGMENTS - 'Homo Homini Lvpvs' Enhanced CD (Construct.Destroy) - £12 / £13 / £14
Re-release of the first full-length album of Slovakian project Phragments, which collects 8 tracks of orchestral power mixed with industrial machinery. Filled with heavy emotion, this will appeal to lovers of dark atmospherics and Neo-classical music. Fans of Sophia and Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio take note! The enhanced CD edition with a video track is presented in a nice digipak and is limited to 500 copies. Very lmited copies of the 1st Pro-CDR tin edition are available from Cold Spring!

POST SCRIPTVM - 'Marginal Existence' Official T-Shirt (Terror Propaganda) - £14 / £15 / £16
Well designed, quality shirt from this U.S. Power Electronics / Experimental act. The front print of this black shirt is the 'Marginal Existence' cover in white ink, with the Post Scriptvm logo in grey ink.

SELAXON LUTBERG - 'Think’ CDR (Opaco) - £8 / £9 / £10
"This album was born as a personal therapy against anxiety and panic attacks. I hope the listener can find in its sounds at least one touch of that wonderful thing that we call peace". Beautiful soundscapes, melancholic ambient and piano pieces, capturing the peace that is yearned for. This is a re-issue of the first EP for Andrea Penso's project, with a bonus track, totalling just under 40 minutes. Ltd x 55 handnumbered copies in a slimline, square DVD case.

SLOGUN - 'A Breed Apart / The Die Song’ CD (BloodLust!) - £12 / £13 / £14
This is the third release in the "History of Violence" re-issue campaign and unites two related, key entries in the early Slogun catalogue. "A Breed Apart" was originally released on cassette by Slaughter Productions (1996), and "The Die Song" tracks are taken from the legendary Slaughter Productions six-cassette box set, "Listen And Die!" (1997). Like the first two re-issue CDs ("Sacrifice Unto Me" and "Will To Kill"), the remastered audio was prepared in Lille, France, by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol), while John Balistreri's graphic design follows the standard that he created for the ongoing series. True Crime Electronics!

SOL INVICTUS - 'The Blade’ Signed LP (Tursa) - £15 / £17 / £19
A return to the roots of pagan Europe, drums and all. It certainly has heroic, martial qualities but is actually very varied, drawing on three main currents: the classic Sol acoustic folk approach, ambient-orchestral parts and more experimental elements. The lyrics are about life, death and struggle, the transience of human existence, mortality and the death of God. This is signified by the inclusion of Heimgest's Odinic Gealdor - a magical chanting of the runes. The invocation of the runes encapsulates not just the fatalism of wyrd, but rather the totality of existence. Tony Wakeford is joined here by Sally Doherty and Karl Blake. Textured sleeve with foil-blocked text, complimented by an insert with all lyrics. Very last copies of this pressing. Signed by Tony Wakeford. Act fast!

SOL INVICTUS - 'Thrones’ Signed LP (Tursa) - £15 / £17 / £19
Another splendidly majestic Sol Invictus release, 'Thrones' largely follows in the style of 'Hill of Crosses'. A balance of dark and uplifting songwriting, and the established medieval / industrial / jazz / ballad / folk style played by this talented six piece band. Homage is given to the English folk stronghold of Cornwall, and the romantic south-west tip of England. Tony Wakeford is joined here by Matt Howden (Sieben), Sally Doherty, Karl Blake (Shock Headed Peters), Eric Roger (Gae Bolg) and Renée Rosen. Full colour glossy inner and outer sleeves with all lyrics. Very last copies of this pressing. Signed by Tony Wakeford. Act fast!

WHERE - 'Wererat’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
7 years after their acclaimed debut 'The Creatures Of The Wind', Where (Zario of organic ambient project Olhon and Darvulia) return with 'Wererat'. Utilising field recordings taken in sewers, this release revolves around the idea of rats conquering the earth. Hyper-obscure, deep, cavernous Dark Ambient and Drone for followers of Lustmord, Thomas Köner, Kerovnian or Amon. Highly recommended!

Z'EV / FRANCISCO LOPEZ - 'Buzzin Fly / Dormant Spores’ CD (Black Rose Recordings / Lapilli)
- £12 / £13 / £14
A sensational collaboration between Z'EV, one of the forefathers of Industrial music, and renowned Spanish artist Francisco Lopez. Z'EV's "Buzzin Fly" (in memory of Tim Buckley) is a full spectrum 32 minute piece full of dynamic shifts, sonic worlds and can be described as oceanic in feel. Lopez's "Dormant spores" takes 40 minutes to run it's course, and is perhaps a more meditative piece than Z'EV's, but no less challenging. Lopez skillfully crafts minimalist hypnotics that can be as destructive to delicate eardrums as they are captivating. Both works complement each other and form a powerful album.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'Georg Kolbe’ Book + CD (VAWS) - £14 / £16 / £18
This set is dedicated to German sculptor Georg Kolbe, active in the first half of the 20th Century. The A4 wire-bound book (with xerox pages and textured cover) includes 40 pages of sculptures, with text by Kolbe (in German). Also includes an upbeat CD of Neofolk, Martial, Industrial, Rhythmic Noise, Gothic and EBM from: Von Thronstahl, Rose Rovine e amanti, The Days of the Trumpet Call, Forthcoming Fire, Langemarck, 1979, Anonkrata, Near Death Experience, aesthetik-industries, Black Sun, Hidden Place, Helmond, Gothic Sex, SadoMax Death, ZA GEV and Sala.
