ALIO DIE - 'The Flight Of Real Image’ CD (Faria Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Reissue of 'The Flight Of Real Image' MCD, released on Hic Sunt Leones (1993), with six bonus and exclusive tracks. The classical sound of Alio Die is harmoniously combined with his newer musical experiments with zither, salterio, flutes, bells and other instruments. All original material has been carefully re-mastered. Additionally this release comes with 5 artcards showing installations by Italian painter Sara Luciani - this artwork being an integral part of the concept of this album. Ltd x 1000 copies in a special outsize package.

ALLE SAGEN JA - 'The Voice Of Bronze Preludes A Song’ CD (War Office Propaganda)
- £12 / £13 / £14
Alle Sagen Ja is a side project of Belgian act Dead Man's Hill, but with strong WWII themes. The music consists of military pop, dark ambient, apocalyptic folk, rhythmic noise and battlefield sounds. This is complimented with the narration of true stories and poems taken from the darkest days of the last century. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

AMON - 'Foundation’ 2 x CD (AFE Records / Eibon Records) - £15 / £16 / £17
RESTOCK! "Foundation" features most of the tracks originally contained on the first untitled Amon album (1996), the whole "Mer" limited edition release (2000), and a few unreleased/rare bonus tracks. All tracks were remastered specially for this release. "Wondering why AMON is widely considered a dark ambient legend? This double CD will show you why.... You'll find no deeper nor darker ambient anywhere else." Presented in a gatefold digisleeve with inner sleeves. A very desirable piece from this Italian legend.

BASTARD NOISE + GOVERNMENT ALPHA - 'Resurrection’ CD (Thumbprint Press)
- £12 / £13 / £14
"These sounds are a small tribute to the memory of Koji Tano" (MSBR). Bastard Noise (Nelson & Wood) celebrate forms of partial and total rebirth of body and spirit. They "resurrected" past foundational ideas of flesh, bone, metal, electronics and workshops with cuts composed in Tokyo and San Pedro. G.A. attacks relentlessly with true precision and purpose while B.N. loom slow and ominous as purple-black storm clouds and distant thunder on a darkening horizon. Presented in beautifully printed, transparent artwork with a sticker, housed in a heavy vinyl sleeve. Limited copies in stock!

BASTARD NOISE with SIKHARA - 'Tukano Khalkha’ CD (GLK / Radon) - £12 / £13 / £14
In December 2003, Sikhara came together with Bastard Noise (Wood / Weise / Nelson line-up) for a studio session in Valencia, California. The two groups each created the groundwork for a track, which the other played over the top of, for a sort of duality in the composition. BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations. Sikhara leant a sense of identity to the tracks with a series of vocal collages, invoking a story to accompany the harsh sound beds of BN. Surgically mixed by sonic architect Kamilsky. A masterpiece of Harsh Noise!

CIRCULAR - 'Shaping The Unknown’ CD (Loki Foundation) - £12 / £13 / £14
This debut defines an opulent style of meditative ambient music and celebrates the pure sound engines of perfect analogue synthesizer music. Johannes Riedel created an elegant and stylish form of drone music to build ellipses inbetween sculptures blowing through the triangular center. These aural paintings uncover sacred landscapes of drifting loops and the brilliant use of guitars to set up an unearthly visionary wall of sound. Circular's music disposes a special principle where tracks build up slowly and take the period of concentration, of taking shape, followed by overwhelming massive soundworlds from outer states. Digipak.

COLD FUSION - 'Simmetria’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
Symmetry perceived as some kind of balance and harmony. Symmetry between surrounding world and its "mirror reflection", which sticks in our minds. Symmetry of left and right side, day and night, birth and death. Symmetry of buildings, objects, bodies. The fifth album from Cold Fusion reflects this theme with dynamic, marching atmospheres on one side, and melancholy and reverie on the other. A lack of symmetry or rather its confirmation? 11 tracks overall, presented in a nice digipak.

DANIEL MENCHE -'Beast Resonator' CD (Roggbif) - £12 / £13 / £14
Before mankind dedicated music to the "gods" there was music dedicated to the beasts and Daniel Menche's "Beast Resonator" carries that aim and inspiration. Massive bombastic drums, pounding relentless percussion, merciless beats and hypnotic destruction - "Beast Resonator" is boldly dedicated to the beasts and strictly for the beasts. 3 untitled tracks mixed continuously to make a relentless hour long primal attack of the senses to resonate the beast within. This is Menche's strongest percussion work to date and is sonically and brutally animalistic. Pure power tribal noise to resonate the beasts. Comes in a delicate hand-silkprinted digipak!

DEAD MAN'S HILL - 'The Demons Of Death’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
The sixth release from Dead Man's Hill CD contains eight predominantly Neoclassical songs, consisting of organic howling sounds, crossed with lots of choirs, strings, horns and trumpets, beautiful clean vocals and the usual DMH percussion. Includes the track "Masks of Egypt", which appeared on a WOP promo-sampler in 2006. Matt digipak.

ENDVRA - 'Black Eden’ CD (Red Stream) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Much demanded re-issue of this long deleted classic album, originally released in 1996. Endvra are electronic soundscape alchemists combining synthesizers with (un)healthy doses of Aleister Crowley, H.P. Lovecraft and psychedelic chemical enhancement. The sinister music of Endvra has gathered appreciation from an increasingly diverse audience and nothing in the Dark Ambient category has ever emerged to dethrone this work of sinister aural mystery. "Black Eden" is a HP Lovecraft tale set to music: medieval devil worship and sabbat dancing invoking the entire spectrum of preternatural beasts which inhabit the realm of Cthulhu and are spoken of in the fabled "Necronomicon". A truly horrifying collectors masterpiece for the discerning Endvra / Lovecraft acolyte. This is the “Gold Edition”. Recommended!

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'We Slowly Lift Ourselves From Dust’ 10" Picture Disc (A Silent Place)
- £10 / £12 / £14
A 28 minute-set of all new music by Fear Falls Burning (a VidnaObmana project), exploring the darker and nihilistic regions of drone music. Minimal repetitive motives which slowly evolve and expand into two unsettling harmonies of minor and solitude. The sounds vary from gritty, dirty guitar loops to long sonic landscapes with dense walls of sound. With no overdubs or post-production effects involved, the compositions progress in an organic and natural way, giving the music a special feeling and soul that is missing from many recordings these days. Presented on a stunning 10" picture disc with sticker seal. Ltd x 499 copies. A Silent Place is a sub-label of Small Voices, Italy.

FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'The Remedy Has Become The Affliction’ CD (NCC) - £12 / £13 / £14
A document of delusion in the guise of salvation, of lies that become truth, of blind faith and abject failure, of the tormented and the torturer. TRHBTA is the carrion we collectively accept and ingest as reality, a dirty needle in the neck of an abjectly complacent society and a further descent into the bowels of unmitigated psychosis. Only the best Power Noise / Electronics from this US legend. The CD contains remix / reconstructions by Guilty Connector and Hum Of The Druid, while the cover and interior of the digipak features original artwork created specifically for this release by Gee Vaucher (CRASS). Ltd x 300 copies. First copies come with a postcard!

FIRE IN THE HEAD - 'The Remedy Has Become The Affliction’ Limited Edition Set (NCC)
- £16 / £18 / £20
Limited edition version of the above release. This highly-desirable and collectable set contains the regular CD plus a bonus pro-CDR disc, 'Dirty Needles', also presented in a digipak, which features noisy remixes of F/I/T/H by Sistrenatus, Angel Of Decay, Paniscville, Mutant Ape, Richard Ramirez, Flower, Kelly Churko, Moribund, Black Meat and December 23rd. Also included are: F/I/T/H embroidered patch, stickers, badge, postcard and A3 poster. Presented in a resealable bag and limited to just 50 copies!!!!

FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!

FJERNLYS - 'Ascending Triads & Luminous Arcs’ 2 x CD (Loki Foundation) - £15 / £16 / £17
Behind this project hides one of Inade's masterminds - Knut Enderlein. On this first disc, the songs layer cosmic and synthetic sounds and go on tracing according to the principle harmony in the music, their acoustic space feeling very expansive. The voices creep crosswise into sounds and effects to lunar spheres and solar places. The five remixes and interpretations of ANTLERS MULM, BAD SECTOR, FIRST LAW and LOVESPELL on the second disc support the complex character of the whole release and expand the into a new style of Ambient songs. More 'song' based than Inade, Fjernlys reminds of fellow Loki act Predominance. Presented in a double jewel case with a very nice slipcase to finish.

GRUNT - 'Seer Of Decay’ 2 x CD (Freak Animal) - £15 / £16 / £17
A landmark of Grunt's almost 15-year long career. This double CD is actually the first real studio CD - the rest being tapes, live, EPs etc. Therefore this is the first "aimed to be album" kind of Grunt CD release, essential for anyone who curious about Grunt and collectors alike. The 1st disc offers constructed Power Electronics / Noise, close to earlier releases; while the 2nd disc offers long tracks of colossal Industrial Noise orgies. Almost 2 hours of Grunt is packaged into a 50-page pro-printed paperback-book, which includes lyrics and plenty of artwork. Limited edition of 500.

HAARE - 'The Temple’ CD (Freak Animal) - £12 / £13 / £14
Finnish psychedelic ritual noise. Think CCCC, Nord, Total etc - but Haare still bring their own spirit into psychedelic noise. Quite a "warm" lo-fi sound with guitar, bass, bells, organ, theremin, tapes, electronic effects etc. Two massive 20 minute pieces with HAARE's old harsh noise background still rumbling beneath it all. Ltd x just 200 copies!

HARVEST RAIN - 'Night's Glow’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! The masters of American dark folk return with their third full-length album, and second appearance on well-respected Polish label War Office Propaganda. Eleven beautiful songs, and 42 minutes of haunting, atmospheric and melancholic music. Glossy varnished digipak with original cover designed by Michal Karcz and reproduction of Tor Lundvall's paintings inside.

INADE - 'The Crackling Of The Anonymous’ CD (Loki Foundation) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! This dark and hallucinatory masterwork, is constructed via the never heard utterances of the void, while tapping into the psyche of the impossible. A stunning dark ambient release that defies all logic because it creates its own! Gorgeous 6-panel digipak by the masters of Dark ambience!! A must-have for fans of Lustmord!

INCAPACITANTS - 'Pariah Tapes’ 5 x CD (Freak Animal) - £30 / £32 / £34
RESTOCK! "Pariah Tapes" is a MUST have collection of the oldest Incapacitants tapes released on Mikawa's own Pariah Tapes label. The first two tapes ("Eternal Paralysis" C-90 & "Peony Crackers" C-60) have never been sold in public, and the three other tapes ("Pallo" 3x C-46 set) were released in an edition of less than 100 copies. While most Japanese artists in early 80's were making free-improv. or sound collages, Incapacitants delivered such harsh noise walls, they are hard to match even today! Includes replication of all original artwork as well as linernotes from Mikawa himself. Ltd x 500 in a box with elasticated 'obi' strip. Act fast!

KHVARENA - 'The Spirit Rises’ CD (Projekt) - £12 / £13 / £14
Khvarena is a journey across time and countries, into the ethno-ambient / heavenly voices realm from which spirits will arise. A striking encounter between Italian maestro Francesco Banchini (Ataraxia / Gor) and France's Jeanne & Fabrice Lefebvre (Rajna). The first steps of a journey from the European continent to the countries of the Middle East: lush and majestic at times, ritual and devotional at others, and sometimes festive and cathartic. A myriad of ethnic instruments accompany the intertwined vocals of Jeanne and Francescot. This is music of brightness, color and emotion with rapturous Arabic overtones. This 1st edition is released in a hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies presented in a recycled DVD Digipak.

KONAU - 'Speech From The Shadows’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
RESTOCK! Six tracks and sixty minutes of glorious Dark Ambient music presented in a white-trayed jewel case. Another hybrid manifestation of sound design created by members of Subinterior and New Risen Throne. Disquieting and obscure Dark Ambient, with some amazing melodic structures scattered throughout the songs.

MAURIZIO BIANCHI & TH26 - 'Arkaeo Planum’ CD (Small Voices) - £12 / £13 / £14
For this release TH26 leave their usual rhythmical attitude, in perfect symbiosis with Maurizio Bianchi, the "father" of Italian industrial music. Sound textures with piano incursions and samples, properly treated by M.B., involved in a magmatic and dark isolationist sonority, made by TH26. This work presents deep obscure minimal soundscapes, moving in the fields of dark ambient music. 5 tracks trip through 5 interlinked themes, togheter with a single special track titled MB Sorrow (dedicated to Maurizio Bianchi) as final sequence of melting melody. CD comes in a digifile.

MUSHROOM'S PATIENCE + OUTOFSIGHT - 'Split’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
This long awaited album is an excellent split release from the legends of Italian avantgarde - Mushroom's Patience - and a very promising Polish project Outofsight (who appeared on the stunning "Gloria Victis Vae Victis" compilation). 50 minutes of interesting ambient, industrial sounds and rhythms, with 5 tracks apiece. Presented in a matt digipak.

NEUESTRASSE - 'Introspective Black Forms’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
An interesting piece of Italian dark ambient. The intention here is to recreate the anxious vision of the beginning of the 20th century - desolated places of that period, fear, death, ruins etc. Particulary for this album, Neuestrasse were inspired by stories of serial killers. Neuestrasse is the name of street of where Fritz Hartmann, "The Wolf of Hannover", resided in 1920. The idea of "Introspective Black Forms" is based of negative emotional states. Presented in a digipak.

RUKKANOR - 'Ende’ CD-EP (War Office Propaganda) - £8 / £9 / £10
"Ende" is a retrospective compilation of unpublished tracks from Rukkanor. Five tracks composed during the period of the "Scontum act IV", "Triumvire" and "Despartica" sessions are supplemented with a live track 'Virus Dei' in a new and interesting arrangement. War themes and military atmospheres - this is the face of Rukkanor on this EP. Ltd x 400 copies in a digipak. Highly recommended to all fans of Martial Industrial!

SELAXON LUTBERG - 'Cold House Of Love’ CD (Eibon Records) - £12 / £13 / £14
Selaxon Lutberg are debutants on Eibon, but have a long back-catalogue behind them already (check out our CDR website for more Selaxon Lutberg titles!). "Cold House of Love" brings together Dark Ambient and Post Rock, in a particularly sad and icy-cold mood. Ten minimal soundscapes based upon emotional sounds made with guitars, piano and heavily processed field recordings. A journey through subtly disquieting ambient music. Presented in a very nice 6-panel digifile.

SEWER ELECTION - 'Vengeance’ 3" CD (Freak Animal) - £6 / £7 / £8
Swedish Harsh Noise artist known from many tapes, EPs etc (L-White, Hospital Productions, Troniks), but not from many "proper" CD releases. One 21-minute long track of the most intense noise wreckage. Very nicely presented in a little foldout cardboard sleeve with inserts. Professional CD, limited to 500 copies.

SKM-ETR - 'Screwdriver City’ 3" CD (Freak Animal) - £6 / £7 / £8
SKM-ETR's previous full length CD 'The Rugged Meat Cleve' caught plenty of attention in the Power Electronics scene. With this MCD, SKM-ETR takes a more straight forward Power Electronics approach. Hard electronic walls of noise filled with hateful vocals. Very nicely presented in a little foldout cardboard sleeve with inserts. Professional CD, limited to 500 copies.

SONS OF BRONSON - 'Niñas Y Marisco’ Pro-CDR (Mano Dura) - £9 / £10 / £11
Abrasive, wild, intense, harsh noise / power electronics. Provably the most aggressive album to come out from the city of Barcelona in 2005. They seem to be influenced by early sick industrial classics to now dig into raw noise dynamics, death-ambient unstructured structures, as visceral as it could ever be. Seemingly improvised slabs of noise and sound experimentations which should appeal to daily consumers of Prurient, Bastard Noise or Merzbow. The members are also involved in the metal projects Bukkakke and Música Veneno. A release for die-hard noise fans!

SPIRITUAL FRONT - 'Armageddon Gigolo’ CD (Trisol) - £12 / £13 / £14
LIMITED RESTOCK! Fervent ballads combining "Mafia-folk", Nick Cave and Ennio Morricone - refined with a shot of Rock 'n' Roll-Spirit. Supported by the musicians of the Ennio Morricone Orchestra, this album skilfully combines Western and Gangster film atmospheres and the aura of great entertainers, which melt into a genuine, post-modern mixture. Vibrating guitar riffs, pointed piano chords, devoted strings and a subtle acoustic guitar support expressive English vocals which are caught between an overwhelming drive for freedom and a romantic desire for eternity. Limited deluxe 6-panel digipak edition, complete with glossy 16 page booklet.

STEN OVE TOFT / UTARM / JON ERIKSEN -'Penumbra Booming' CD (Roggbif) - £12 / £13 / £14
An amazing triple split release between three underground Norwegian artists. Jon Eriksen opens and closes this full length with harsh noise in the vein of Merzbow. Sten Ove Toft offers a long, shifting drone piece, while Utarm continues with a dark ambient and orchestral piece. "Looks harmless, but don't be fooled - be doomed". Presented in a standard PVC sleeve. Ltd x 500 copies.

STIAN SKAGEN / MNH / STEN OVE TOFT -'H5N1' CD (Roggbif) - £12 / £13 / £14
Three long tracks from three Norwegian artists: Stian Skagen (half of Ryfylke), Morten Halvorsen and the other part of Ryfylke; Sten Ove Toft. An intriguing trio of tracks spanning rythmic noise to meditative drone / ambient. Skagan presents aggressive ambient, with escalating noise levels. Morten Norbye Halvorsen pursues steady pitches of volume, noise and intensity ala Mego / Microsound. Toft's imput is more of a deathly drone, spewing forth aural lava before suddenly cooling to a placid whisper. Presented in a standard PVC sleeve.

STURM - 'Le Prix Du Sang Et Des Larmes’ CD (War Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14
Very attractive debut of this French neoclassical, neo-symphonic, martial industrial act. Fourty minutes of music over nine tracks, created in a specific orchestral vein. Not so many mighty, bombastic phrases as one would expect, but a lot of moving atmospheres instead. It could be said Sturm wear their influences on their sleeve. Recommended to fans of A Challenge Of Honour etc. Digipak.

STURMPERCHT - 'Stürm Ins Leben Wild Hinein!’ CD Boxset (Percht) - £14 / £15 / £16
Due to many requests for a digital version of the first Sturmpercht LP, this obscure pearl of Alpine-Folk music is available for the first time on CD and has been digitally remastered. Pure weird Alpine-Folk music with martial drinking-songs, alpine battle-hymns and strange fairie-tales out from the deepest Austrian and Bavarian forests, all embedded in a breath of black Monty Python humour. Limited to 500 copies in a mini version of the wooden boxset artwork used in the LP version. First copies come with a Sturmpercht badge! Act fast!

URANIUM USSR 1972 - 'Avarie’ CD (Small Voices) - £12 / £13 / £14
Uranium USSR 1972 is a sice-project of Angelo Bergamini (Kirlian Camera). A chapter apart in the history of ambient-trance music, able to evoke strange and sometimes nervous alien urban worlds. Intimately powerful and innovative, this long awaited UU72 ''opera prima'' is a successful combination of new electronic horizons and retro vintage machines, not paying any debt to any ''experimentalists'' in particular. Once again, Bergamini surprises us with a unique idea, giving life to a restless and rainy scenery made of extreme solitude, alienated rhythms and touching moments, all permeated by an unusual sense of black humour. With sumptuous artwork by Elena Alice Fossi (Kirlian Camera), 'Avarie' is presented in a 6-panel digipak with booklet.

YURI ELIK / GOSHA SOLNZEV - 'Voices Of The Dead’ DVD-R (Zhelezobeton) - £12 / £13 / £14
Photographer and artist Yuri Elik is primarily known as one of the founders multimedia project 2012, creating audio-video installations for various contemporary art festivals (Heilige Feuer etc). Gosha Solnzev is the leader of the project Noises of Russia and has always claimed that he plays funeral music, so it's no wonder he showed interest in EVP. The exploration of this led phenomenon led to an effective cooperation between Gosha and Yuri, which resulted in a series of live performances with the "Voices of the Dead" program and this short film - 24 minutes of obscure psychedelic drama evolving in front of the spectator. A multi-layered collage of concrete visual images and kaleidoscopic colour constantly transforms, accompanied by unusual and uneasy sombre ambient with real EVP interlaced in it's structure. As a bonus this disk also contains a 12-min slide-film "City Spirits". Packed in a special cardboard sleeve with a booklet with an encyclopaedic reference about EVP. Ltd x 250 hand-numbered copies only!
