| ARKTAU
EOS - 'Mirrorion’ CD (Aural
Hypnox) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached
as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey
of epic proportions, the debut album of ARKTAU EOS
is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private
musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by
man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of
the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months
of work. 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light
thrown down from the Heaven's zenith and its eldritch
reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic
elemental noise with serene passages of crystalline,
spectral ambience. Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet.
Limited to 1000 copies.
|
| ARKTAU
EOS - 'Scorpion Milk’ CDR (Aural
Hypnox) - £8 / £9 / £10 |
 |
'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length
track, which is best absorbed in a meditative state
with minimum outside interference. It is truly a "Mirror
Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion,
the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence
itself. The music can be likened to a dark well, the
oily surface of which not only reflects the phantasms
of mind recalled through participation in the "Mirrorion"
cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges
of primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation.
Comes in a plastic slimline case with hand-painted
textures and an insert card. Ltd x 222.
|
| BOCKSHOLM
- 'The Haunting Curse Of Skogs-Sara’ CD (Wrotycz)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The third terror attack by Bocksholm is now here.
After two successful albums, Bocksholm now turns to
the root of the problem with the album "The Haunting
Curse of Skogs-Sara" - and unfolds the curse
she laid upon the town of Boxsholm. The music is a
dark and explosive experience, it is harder and stranger
than ever. It is a psyhological weapon that sneaks
upon its victims. "The citizens of Boxholm will
get fucked - and so will probably you!". Bocksholm
is the project of Peter Andersson (Deutsch Nepal)
and Peter Andersson (Raison D'Etre). Beatutifully
presented in a textured fold-out A5 cover. Highly
recommended!
|
| English
Heretic - 'Wyrd Tales’ CD + Magazine
(English
Heretic) - £14 / £15 / £16 |
 |
"Visit the haunts of Matthew Hopkins, the parishes
of his victims, the desolate and ravenous bays of
Daphne Du Maurier. Excavate among the gnostic ruins
of M.R. James and drink in the ojas of Austin Spare's
London. From our nation's unconscious libraries we
unearth hallucinatory and hermetic monographs. Discover
the lost reels of a Frazerian horror film and catalogue
the fantastic occult pathologies that ferment from
a racial memory of zealot's purge and war time trauma."
To complement and animate the 92-page, perfect bound
magazine (more of a paperback book really), 'Wyrd
Tales' comes with a 70 minute CD containing documentary
evidence of our imaginal interpenetrations. Culled
from phonographic recordings, in situ improvisations
and studio distillations, these aural commentaries
provide the finest synaesthetic liqueur to accompany
your fireside readings of this Albionic Al Azif.

|
| Flutwacht
- 'Creta’ CD (The
Tourette Tapes) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
70 minutes from this now-established German outfit.
The music on 'Creta' has a lot of Death Industrial
elements, Power Electronics / Noise attacks and also
ambient passages. Reminds of Navicon Torture Technologies
in places. This standard edition is limited to 222
copies in a DVD case. The Tourette Tapes is a sub-label
of Apocalyptic Radio.
|
| Folkstorm
- 'Information Blitzkrieg’ CD (Old
Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Folkstorm is the solo project of Mr. Kremator
Nordvargr, the mastermind behind MZ.412, Toroidh etc.
This is the reissue of the very first Folkstorm release.
A unique masterpiece of heavy power electronics and
old school industrial, ranging from beat-laden tracks
to uncompromising noize and sampled vocals A true
masterpiece of new industrial music devoid of politics,
religion and contemporaries.
|
| Karna
- 'Voron / Raven’ CD (Eternal
Pride) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
As the lead transforms alchemically into gold, the
gloomy dark Cold Wave of the older Karna has transformed
into the unique Blackened Ambient Music. It's a symbolic
hymn to Solitude, Emptiness and Total Dark. The monotonous
and hypnotic guitar passages react with the cold Ambient
fragments. Seven dead coal-black raven feathers reflecting
the dark mentality of one more soul which disappeared
in the Dark. Russian import.
|
| Kirlian
Camera - 'Erinnerung’ CD (Twilight
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Re-release of the long-deleted Kirlian Camera masterpiece
‘Erinnerung’. This legendary band commanded
by Angelo Bergamini and Elena Fossi, present an incredible
album and a trip into the time to the post war Europe,
with beautifully expressive female vocals. Another
piece of the puzzle into the band discography. The
album comes in a deluxe digipak with brand new artwork
and includes four bonus unreleased tracks.
|
| Lark
Blames - 'Chimney’ CD (Old
Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
"Chimney" is the final result of a year
of sporadic and inspired sessions of improvised music
making by Marc Blackie (Sleeping Pictures) and Lloyd
James (Naevus). The instrumentation used ranges across
piano, percussion, guitar, synthesizer, accordion,
electronic treatments and abused microphones to produce
pieces whose styles could be variously described as:
ambient, mock-power electronics, exotica... but, for
the most part, the pieces here simply defy description.
Includes guest vocals from Rose McDowall (Strawberry
Switchblade, Coil, Sorrow) and John Murphy (KnifeLadder,
Shining Vril, SPK, Death In June). Digipak.
|
| Negru
Pvlse - 'Madeira’ CD (Old
Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Collaboration between two Swedish masterminds:
Peter Nyström (Negru Voda / Megaptera) and Mathias
Josefson (Moljebka Pvlse). Both artists are well-known
for their releases on Cold Meat Industry, Fin De Siecle
Media etc. Great dark ambient in the fine Swedish
tradition… two long, beautifully pure and dark
tracks with a bleak northern feel. The shimmering
drones of Moljebka blending with the more threatening
noise interludes and pulsating blackness of Negru
Voda.
|
| Nocturne
- 'Terroriser Manipuler Conveincre’ CD (Old
Europa Cafe) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This conceptual album from Nocturne is built arround
the figure of "Dr. Mabuse" the anti-hero
of Norbert Jacques's novel, the genius of crime and
chaos, of finance in a world slowly falling apart
in the first years of the 20th Century. Slowly moving
tracks, recalling the atmosphere of the years before
First World War - a very 'industrial' concept using
analogue instrumentation mixed with sound-samples
from the beginning of the last century and many samples
taken from the legendary "Dr. Mabuse" film.
This release comes presented in an oversized 7"
Cover with inserts.
|
| Stalingrad
- 'Court Martial’ CD (Twilight
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Re-release of the first album by Stalingrad, a side-project
of, and the more orchestral side of, Kirlian Camera.
An amazing mixture of bombastic pompous orchestration,
combining Neofolk elements with Neoclassical and Industrial
atmospheres. Oppressive Neoclassical, utilising militant
percussion and heavenly voices, though some tracks
have a more industrial feel. Perhaps the soundtrack
for a movie about the battle of Stalingrad? Remastered
with all new artwork in a very nice digipak. Highly
recommended!
|
| Still
- 'Remains’ Enhanced CD (Public
Guilt) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Turntablist Still (Hsi-Chang Lin) unleashes a dark
ambient masterpiece that borders on sonic terrorism.
Created using only Technics 1200's and an array of
effects pedals, 'Remains' is not a "turntablist"
record in the traditional sense, but rather ambient
with textures. Opening with aggressive noise and evolving
into delicate ambience, 'Remains' supersedes the preconceived
range of the turntable, infusing emotion into an otherwise
inhuman instrument. Also includes a rather nice Super-8
film piece. This first edition of 1000 copies comes
encased in a slipcase and finished with a seal.
|
| Theme
- 'Our Angels Dislocated’ CD (Lumberton
Trading Company) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The second album from this UK / Poland-based trio
(feat. members of Splintered) offers a rich, organic
and atmospheric tapestry of ideas that serve as a
revitalised statement of intent. Combining sitars,
violin drones, guitar strums, mutterings from an otherwise
deserted midnight subway, electronic swirl, piano
and all manner of otherworldly textures, 'Our Angels
Dislocated' remains both focused and complex enough
to cast new shadows with every listen. Complete with
exclusive artwork by British sculptor, Mo Jupp. Digipak.
|
| ThighPaulSandra
- 'Chamber Music’ CD (Lumberton
Trading Company) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This highly accomplished and visionary musician has
been known for his assistance with groups and artists
as diverse as Coil, Spiritualized and Julian Cope
as much as his own albums. Combining musique concrète,
quasi-dimensional electronics, ravaged hums, atmospheric
tones and all manner of different instruments nodding
into focus, 'Chamber Music' is an imaginative and
focused album, and his most cohesive work to date.
Digipak.
|
| Vetrophonia
- 'The Space Voyage’ DVD-R (Zhelezobeton)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The science fiction film "The Space Voyage"
was first shown in Soviet cinema theatres in January
1936. Soviet cinematographers managed to create a
surprisingly realistic image of a journey to the Moon
for that time - long before the beginning of real
space research. The original film had a soundtrack
compiled of various classical music compositions.
But what could be more appropriate to the constructivist
spirit of Soviet times than the retro-futurism of
St. Petersburg's noise scene classics? Vetrophonia
(Nick Soudnick of ZGA and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov
of Linija Mass and Stalnoy Pakt) solved this task
with enthusiasm. During 2005 they laboriously collected
samples, recorded the parts of electronic and acoustic
instruments and composed collages for each specific
scene of the film. The result turned out to be beyond
all praise. The DVD-R with the movie has an option
of turning on English subtitles and comes with a booklet
containing an article about the shooting process.
Packed in a special cardboard sleeve. Ltd x 250 only
– hurry for this one!

| Von
Thronstahl - 'Bellum, Sacrum Bellum?’
CD (Fasci-Nation)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Instantly recognizable as Von Thronstahl,
“Bellum…” fuses Neoclassical militaristic
arrangements with harsh industrial, hymns, rock elements
and war-time speeches. With a definite nod to Laibach,
a varying number of samples are utilized from artists
such as Killing Joke, Crass, The Exploited etc...
and included is a great cover of Joy Division’s
“We Walked In Line”. Presented in a beautiful
6-panel digipak with cut-and-paste artwork inspired
by modern war.
|
| Zoät
Aon - 'Star Autopsy’ CD (Aural
Hypnox) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! 'Star Autopsy' presents nine multi-dimensional
dark ambient tracks which range from radiant textures,
mesmerizing, swirling soundscapes to dense, crushing
walls of sound and hidden abstract melodies. By using
conventional instruments, various sound generating
devices, vocals and other carefully chosen sonic objects
Zoät·Aon manages to create an unique,
dynamic and truly enigmatic, expansive atmosphere
that continuously spirals further towards the unknown
areas of consciousness. Comes in an 6 panel cardboard
covers with evocative silver-coloured graphics. Beautiful
piece and highly recommended! Ltd x 1000.
