5/5/2000 - 'Reflektionen Musique' CD (Post Replica) - £12 / £13 / £14

Lost, unreleased and unknown soundscapes from San Diego’s cult Ambient electronic ensemble. Named after the date many believed would be the end of existence as we know it (5/5/2000), Travis Ryan (Cattle Decapitation, Attention Deficit Recordings chief) and Nathan Berlinguette (Creation Is Crucifixion, M. Kourie, Daft Alliance records bossman), unleash an apocalyptic soundtrack of startling sonic paranoia. Includes the duo’s last studio track recorded sometime between 1999 and 2000, along with a beautiful live set performed on SDSU’s KCR radio.


CYCLOTIMIA - 'Trivial Pleasures' MCD (Monopoly Records) - £9 / £10 / £11

Cyclotimia is one of the most widely known Russian electronic bands. The band creates unique crossover soundscapes in the modern 'post-industrial' area, referred to as 'L'Electronique Mondial' by the musicians. "Trivial Pleasures" is the first part of their similarly titled "L'Electronique Mondial" trilogy which will include two more MCDs of their unique music. Created using mainly old Soviet analogue synths, "Trivial Pleasures" is a bit 'alien' to the previous works of the band, but at the same time is Cyclotimia's most radical and experimental album. Russian import.


DEGENERATE - '#4' Magazine (Kaos Kontrol / Freak Animal) - £3.50 / £4 / £4.50

RESTOCK! The fourth issue contains a wide variety of styles and themes related to the power electronics, noise, ambient and industrial genres, presented through interviews with Niko Skorpio, DVT ,Brethren, Boyd Rice/NON, Fire in the Head, Snip-Snip Records, C.O.Caspar, Spatter Productions, Proiekt Hat ,Barzel, I.corax, Haare and Segerhuva. Also included is a USA tour report by Grunt and the usual ton of reviews. An essential read!


EATEN BY CHILDREN - 'The Sword Swallower's Grave' CDR (State Sanctioned Recordings) - £8 / £9 / £10

After a lengthy gestation period, finally we can offer the debut release by this London artist (aka Rob Hart). This album has a few different faces - melancholic, acoustic tracks accompanied by harmonium; drones, hums, electrical hisses from the Tube; white noise and lo-fi analogue electronics; random extreme frequencies; ultra-mellow piano. Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies in nicely-presented folder with etching.


HENTAI Vs NORDVARGR - 'Semen' CD (Vital) - £12 / £13 / £14

Semen is a collaboration between Jakob Nybo (Hentai) and Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Toroidh, Folkstorm). Hentai and Nordvargr ejaculate their audio semen into the cold electric womb, and watch in fear as an unnatural sonic offspring mutates, squirms in agony and slowly comes to life. A unique and extremely disturbing masterpiece of fleshy, cold and perverse avantgarde dark / death electronic soundscape nightmares. Comes in a superb digipak with artwork by Salt (Ant-Zen).


H.H.T.P & PORTABLEPALACE - 'Cavitation' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £12 / £13 / £14
The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments. Ltd x 500 copies. Russian import.

MERZBOW - 'Maschinenstil' CDR (Dual Plover) - £6 / £7 / £8
Cheapskate re-issue of this 1998 release (famed for being the only Merzbow release to spell Masami Akita's name incorrectly). One of the last analogue-era releases and one of the first recorded at "Bedroom, Tokyo." Structurally, the two pieces here sound a lot like what Akita would go on to do with his powerbooks, but much harsher and significantly more organic than much of the often too rigid material of the digital era. An album with some very harsh sounds, though not brutal from start to finish. Home-made CDR, but with the original professionally-printed artwork. A recommended release purely for the music.

MIGUEL A. RUIZ - 'Grossor' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £12 / £13 / £14
This is the new, remastered version of classic material recorded back in 80s, next to postindustrial aesthetics priority in electronic music. Rigorous and austere, ascetic but dynamic, this music rearranges everyday being into mindchallenging imagination, reserving the leading parts for the habitual processes and domestic objects. From the deep underground of Spanish industrial music, it comes to be rediscovered after 15 years. Ltd x 500 copies. Russian import.

MOST OF THE TACITURN - 'History Of Iron And Blood' CD (Dying Art Productions) - £12 / £13 / £14
Just six short months after their debut 'Silent Accuser', Chinese act Most Of The Taciturn has evolved into a huge war machine. The latest album "History Of Iron And Blood" is an Asian perspective of the "Second World War European history of the rise and fall of three empires". Excellent centralized Industrial revelations! Influences cited are Puissance and Sophia, but we are sure this will appeal to all fans of the Martial symphonic/bombastic genre (A Challenge Of Honour, Cold Fusion etc). Strong political artwork. Comes in nice digipak with insert. Recommended!

NICK SOUDNICK - 'AKHE Music Part II' CD (Ultra) - £12 / £13 / £14
Ritual-industrial soundtrack for the AKHE Engineer Theatre installation. Nick Soudnick (Vetrophonia, ZGA) mixes acoustic music to TV and PC for a final black magic and alchemical ritual with an old Russian touch. Ltd x 500. Nice piece on this obscure Russian label.

OMEI - 'When All Your Ghosts Are Tired' CD (Ninth Circle Music / Misanthrope Studio) - £12 / £13 / £14
Omei expresses itself through the idea of "one thought for a thousand years." The same memory played over and over. The mind to the grindstone with nothing ahead but hours and hours of empty slow time. Two long pieces of grinding, sometimes turbulent minimalist drone and industrial from this SICKNESS side-project. Features contributions from James Keeler (WILT) and Joe Colley (CRAWL UNIT). Aggressive, negative, empty and burned. Ltd x 500 copies in slimline jewelcase.

RAFAEL FLORES - 'Nubes, Cometas, Rumores y Orugas' CD (Monochrome Vision) - £12 / £13 / £14
First official CD album of Rafael Flores who hails from the depth of the Spanish underground noise scene, known for his early works released under Comando Bruno moniker. This compilation presents the latest decade of his sound experimentation, and shows quite diverse sides of his creative efforts. The music ranges from collaged field recordings to noise ambient loops, and from rhythmic structures to hypnotic electronic passages. Ltd x 500 copies. Russian import.

VETROPHONIA - 'Promzona' CD (Ultra) - £12 / £13 / £14

Second album from this collaborative project between Russian activists Nick Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass / Stalnoy Pakt). While somewhat more accessible than "Simultannostb", "Promzona" carries over much of the same elements but in a more refined form, resulting in what is possibly their best release yet. Oxygen-starved symphonic loops, industrial field recordings, worker's speech samples, the sounds of a gramophone from the workshop and metallic clangs form a soundtrack to a desolate world of slowly sinking tugboats and aborted construction sites. True Russian Industrial music! Comes in oversized sleeve.


ZHURONG - 'Zhurong's Anger' Pro-CDR (Qin Dynasty) - £10 / £11 / £12
RESTOCK! Extremely underground music from China. This mysterious project (and label) present just over 25 minutes of Kerovnian-esque Dark Ambient, threatening percussion and a hint of neoclassical in the vein of Puissance. Doom-laden and bleak, this is a great insight into the dark Chinese psyche. Presented in slim DVD case with insert – all text in Chinese. By the Chinese writing inside, we presume this is a numbered edition. Pro-duplicated CDR.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - 'It Just Is (In Memoriam Jhonn Balance)' 2 x CD (FullDozer / Nocharizma Records) - £15 / £16 / £17
Double CD compilation dedicated to the memory of Jhonn Balance (1962-2004) and personally approved by Peter Christopherson. 30 projects from ex-USSR territories and other countries make tributes to and cover versions of Jhonn's pioneering work in British group COIL. Features: The Threshold Houseboy's Choir (Peter Christopherson), Thighpaulsandra (featuring Balance), Theodor Bastard, Kotra, Spies Boys, Alec Empire, 2/5 BZ, Chris Connelly, Biblioteka Prospero, Phillip Klinger (PBK), KK Null, EU, Darling Kandie, Pomassl, Alexei Borisov, COH, Alva Noto, Goodiny & PCP, Schlammpeitzigner, Scanner, Brompton's Cocktail, Mystified, H.H.T.P., Noises Of Russia & Olga Komok, Kryptogen Rundfunk, A. Vorodeyev, Serge Tereshkine, Volga, I.L.I., M.R.F. / Elena Voynarovskaya. Russian import.
