ALETHES - 'Aletheia’ CD (Glass Throat Recordings) - £13 / £14 / £15
Arising from the verdant soils of Cascadia, Alethes bring us their epic debut album "Aletheia". Originally conceived as ritual, these are five timeless compositions comprised of mournful and warm acoustic guitars, shamanistic percussion, classical strings and deeply ancient vocal harmonies. Digging deep into the Earth and reaching ever higher to the Heavens in the eternal quest for illumination. Alethes emerge from tradition and disappear into Nature's shadows, yearning for a time past, or yet to be, where the ancient fires burn bright and the cycles of life are awarded their proper respect. This wonderful pressing features black foil stamping on obscure black leathery stock. Outsized 6-panel digifile, limited to 1000 copies.

ALIO DIE & SAFFRON WOOD - 'Celebrando Le Messi’ CD (Hic Sunt Leones) - £12 / £13 / £14
Seminal experiments in coloured harmonics and enchanted depths. This release includes some very relaxing ambient tracks playing with nipped and scrubbed chords utilising salterio, zither, marimba and field recordings, improvisation and recording in the open spaces of inner Liguria's mountains. A great release for those with an appreciation of gentle ethno-ambient.

Also available:

ALIO DIE - 'Aurea Hora' 10"
ALIO DIE - 'Il Tempo Magico di Saturnia Pavonia' CD
ALIO DIE - 'Le Stanze Della Trascendenza' CD
ALIO DIE - 'Leaves Net' CD

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Naegleria Fowlery’ CD (Blade Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
This strange and extremely varied disc opens with a track which whirls in and out of The Caretaker’s “Haunted Ballroom”-style samples with piercing electronics. Moving onwards we encounter dense rhythmic industrial pieces and experimental electronics - all the while chasing the thread of eccentric samples and searing white noise. Limited to just 300 hand-numbered copies in an outsized foldout package. A great, if unusual, piece from the Russian outfit.

Also available:

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Deadhead' CD
BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Live 19082000' Pro-CDR

DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE - 'The Escape Of The Electrified Dermatologist Epitomises
His dissent With The Compromising Juxtaposition Of The Smell And The Sound Of A Pair Of Wings
Injured In The Subdued Romance’ 2 x CD (Monochrome Vision) - £15 / £16 / £17
DSM's music world appears as the intricate but finest tapestry of microscopic sounds, sophisticated packing of voids with sonic hallucinations, textural interactions and layering effects. Mostly sourced from ordinary life, sounds changed beyond any recognition, the endless flow of electroacoustic treatments and studio engineering. This album includes collaborations with some finest sound artists out there (ERG, Artificial Memory Trace, Jörg Thomasius, The Oval Language, TBC), and is therefore very diverse. Ltd x 500. Russian import.

DEAD RAVEN CHOIR - 'Selenoclast Wolves’ T-Shirt (God Is Myth) - £14 / £15 / £16
A heavy, high-quality, black shirt with yellow print to accompany the release of the 'Selenoclast Wolves' CD on GIM. The shirt has the Dead Raven Choir logo on the front and a picture of a wolf inside a moon on the back, with the words 'Selenoclast Wolves'. Comes in sizes Large and Extra Large.

FILIVS MACROCOSMI - 'Stalker’ CD (OMS Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Inspired by and a tribute to A. Tarkovsky's movie "Stalker" (1979). Stalker is an elaborate puzzle. Its pieces are always scattered, and the listener is relied upon to bring the final element of the puzzle along with him. Stalker invites you to get carried away into your own thoughts, flowing with the images as it provides new questions to ponder. In that sense, the album is very much like a philosophical poem: a very simple surface covering innumerable layers of meaning. One long ride in a cart, with clunking metal and water-whooshing sounds. Altogether fascinating and hypnotic. "Welcome to your Self, an alien place guarded by barbed wire". Ltd x 500 copies in foldout sleeve. Ukrainian import.

Also available:

FILIVS MACROCOSMI - 'Oxymoron Structures' CDR
FILIVS MACROCOSMI - 'Versatility Of Perception' 2 x CDR


HOROLOGIUM - 'Le Cartoline Perse’ CD (Blade Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
A collection of various unreleased and rare compilation tracks by this cult Polish act. Four tracks have never been released before, while the last track, “Anywhere”, gives us a taster of the forthcoming album “The World Is Not Enough”. The music ranges from Symphonic Industrial with strange, haunting vocal samples, to upbeat Laibach-esque Industrial pop anthems. A nice range of styles on this disc and a good introduction to the act. Limited to just 300 hand-numbered copies in an outsized foldout package (with a couple of naked ladies on the cover for good measure!).

Also available:

HOROLOGIUM - 'Industrial Nostalgia' T-Shirt
HOROLOGIUM - 'Opium' CDR
HOROLOGIUM - 'The Fire Sermon' CD
MOLJEBKA PVLSE / HOROLOGIUM - 'Kaukasus' CD


IRIKARAH - 'Endstation Steinbruch’ CD (Blade Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Re-issue of an extremely limited cassette (20 copies!), originally published by Andreas Arndt’s own label Keine Zeit Recordings in 1996. Six tracks of dark and disturbing Power Noise / Death Ambient, not far off the style of Brighter Death Now. Limited to just 300 hand-numbered copies in an outsized foldout package. Recommended!

Also available:

IRIKARAH - 'Good Morning America' CD
IRIKARAH - 'Irikarah' 7"


JOHN WATERMANN - 'Calcutta Gas Chamber’ Picture Disc LP (Die Stadt) - £13 / £15 / £17
Vinyl version of the CD released by Cold Spring in 2006 (CSR52CD). 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 activities related to death by machinery. Limited to just 444 hand-numbered copies with stunning full colour artwork - act fast!

Also available:

JOHN WATERMANN - 'Calcutta Gas Chamber' CD
JOHN WATERMANN - 'Warmth Is The Fifth Room' LP


JONATHAN COLECLOUGH & ANDREW LILES - 'Torch Songs’ 2 x LP (Die Stadt) - £16 / £18 / £20

Coleclough and Liles met in October 2004 when they both performed at Intergration 3 in Preston, UK. Liles subsequently reworked the recording of Coleclough's solo performance from that evening. He went on to add, subtract, multiply and divide further live recordings supplied by Coleclough, and the eventual result was this double LP. 'Torch Songs' is packaged in a heavy gatefold sleeve featuring 'I Dreamt I was a River', a poem composed and painted by Geoff Sawers during a performance with Coleclough in Geneva in March 2005. The sound of Geoff's brush painting this lettering can be heard on side B of 'Torch Songs.' Ltd x 300 only!

Also available:

ANDREW LILES - 'In My Father's House Are Many Mansions' CD (Fourth
Dimension)
ANDREW LILES - 'My Long Accumulating Discontent' CD
THE HAFLER TRIO / COLIN POTTER / ANDREW LILES - '3 Eggs' CD

Short' CD


OSSASERPIA - 'Music For Solve Et Coagula’ CD + Book + Poster (Horus Cyclic Daemon)
- £20 / £22 / £24
Vladimir Igoshin (Ossaserpia) has created an Opus alchymicum; a spectacular account of the work of the musickal alchemists who developed a symbolic kind of psychochemistry, aimed at producing the gold of mystical illumination through celestial musick. Very unique drone and dark ambient with chamber musick and some strange industrial elements that will appeal to fans of Coil etc. Presented in a stunning, very high-quality, full colour, A5 embossed hardback book, which is lovingly printed onto 170g paper. The CD itself is also presented in an embossed sleeve and the whole set is accompanied by a hand-numbered A3 poster. A very rare print for all fans of the occult and alchemy. Limited edition of 500 copies. Highly recommended! Czech import.

The fourth release in the "History of Violence" re-issue campaign. "Hunting Humans" was originally released on cassette in 1996, by the now-defunct Italian label, Less Than Zero. Like the first three re-issue CDs, the audio for this re-mastered version was prepared in Lille, France, by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol), while John Balistreri's graphic design follows the standard that he has created for the ongoing series.

SNOWW.WWHITE - 'Wonderland’ CD (Hydra) - £12 / £13 / £14
"Martial pop at its most militaristic. 'Wonderland' is a controversial album by a controversial performer. SnowW.White is a female performer in a male-dominated scene... a uniformed musician marching to a beat that varies from ambient to bleak battle scenes where the sound of war vies with the cries of men for our attention. Wonderland and SnowW.Wwhite and ready for war..." [label description]. Straight-forward military pop. Hydra is a division of the Salvation Group.

SYNOMORPH - 'Recorded In Hell’ CD (Apocalyptic Radio) - £12 / £13 / £14
First CD-proper for this German act, with previous releases on Tosom and Apocalyptic Radio. 'Recorded In Hell' is a mixture of analogue Power Electronics and Industrial noisescapes, with piercing synths and howling vocals. A harkening back to the Industrial pioneers of the early 80's.

TORTURECIDE - 'The Gospel Of Force!’ CD (Hydra) - £12 / £13 / £14
A side-project of the artist known as Subklinik (Profane Grace). Torturecide are a controversial artistic Noise project that combine challenging sounds with a barrage of aural hate and confrontation. Brutal Power Electronics in the style of Slogun, Fire In The Head, Grunt, Steel Hook Prostheses etc. Extreme Noise frequencies with screaming vocals. Not for the faint-hearted! Hydra is a division of the Salvation Group.

WALTER MAIOLI & LUCE MAIOLI - 'Musical Instruments From Prehistory - The Paleolithic’ CD
(Hic Sunt Leones) - £12 / £13 / £14
Walter and Luce Maioli's "Sophisticated Sound" exhibition displaying Paleolithic instruments (from 10,000 to 40,000 years ago) in a natural acoustic surrounding. Walter Maioli calls himself a "seeker of prehistoric music and the history of sound", an area in which he's become a great authority. An impeccably recorded document, tracing music-making by primitive people in the endless cycles of night and day.
