House) - £12 / £13 / £14 |

Two of the most prolific and inventive noise musicians
from the past decade have merged and delivered 'Brainstorming'.

Renou (ex-Brume) has won himself a place of his own

and noise. Mastered by Robert Rich. 6-panel digipak.

- 'Tough Man’ 7" (BloodLust!)
- £6 / £7 / £8 |

Eleventh release in the BloodLust! Private 7"
series. Bereft is Rhode Island artist Peter Lee (Force
Of Nature label boss). For this solo project, which
has had very limited releases on Truculent Recordings
and on Antihumanism Records, Lee crafts a mixture
of old-school industrial and power-electronics, with
intense vocals - tempered by dark, death-industrial-influenced,
ambient soundscapes. White vinyl housed in a plain
white sleeve with insert. Limited to 300 copies.

songs on this album were recorded in various years,
composed in various styles and sung in various languages.
Just truth stays invariable. "...The concepts

It is important to read between the lines - of global
and personal history and not to believe all we read,
hear, feel, see or are taught..." Hand-numbered

package. Israeli import.

ELECTRONICS - 'Teenage Nuremburg' CD (Pure

RESTOCK! Legendary UK Power Electronics / Noise from
the early 1980s. Lo-fi shortwave radio sickness with
intense feedback noise. A 14-year old Philip Best
(Whitehouse, Ramleh), doing what he does best…
vicious attacks on deserving victims. Extreme noise
- not for the faint-hearted! Includes a track with
John Murphy (SPK, Death In June etc). On the RRR Pure

- £14 / £15 / £16 |

RESTOCK! Next step in Hiroshi Hashimoto’s creative
evolution. One of the most controversial Japanese
musicians presents a dense stream of sound. Flashes
of sexual obsession, ritualism and culture permeate
this release. On one hand we find micro-glitches,
subtle melodies and controlled rhythmic clicks &
cuts; whilst on the other much more experimental sounds
with rough field recordings, noisy frequencies, distorted
voices, sinewaves and continuous glitches. Features
contributions from Bastard
Noise and Guilty
Connector. Presented in a transparent wrap with
printed heavy tyre sleeve! Ltd x 410 hand-numbered
copies. Russian import.

| DEUTERROR
- 'Le Gueule De Guerre' Enhanced CD (Steelwork
Maschine) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Deuterror
is Belgian artist Nicolas Crombez. After the two amazing
self-released titles, Crombez now offers his first
CD release. "Le Gueule De Guerre" is a fable
on the faith that animates man and keeps him standing,
getting beyond the limits of a minimalist dark ambient
or the violence of an extravagant noise. Deuterror
develops his theme with drones in turn overwhelming
and disturbing, vindicative frequencies, making of
"Le Gueule De Guerre" a severe statement
bittered with desillusion. Enhanced CD in a matt digipak.
Limited to 1000 copies.
|
FEAR
FALLS BURNING & NADJA
- 'Fear Falls Burning & Nadja' CD (Conspiracy
Records)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Nadja is Aidan
Baker & Leah Buckareff. This duo creates ambient-drone-doom,
combining ambient electronics and fragmentary vocals
with snail-crawl, epic riffs & dirge-like percussion.
On their first full-length collaboration CD FFB and
Nadja display their wilful approach to drones with
4 epic songs, full of sustain, pulses and dynamics.
Grand in theme, sound and atmosphere with violent
bursts of noise and zones of introspection and harmony.
This album draws inspiration from their critically-acclaimed
LP "We Have Departed The Circle Blissfully",
while pushing the boundaries on their sound as an
entity. This album entirely consists of new material.
"...this record could turn out to be the high
point of both band’s careers!" (Julian
Cope). Ltd x 1000, digipak.

| GENETIC
TRANSMISSION - 'R.E.T.R.O' CD (War
Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Genetic Transmission is a project of Tomasz Twardawa
- a legend of Polish industrial scene. R.E.T.R.O is
recorded in vein of old school industrial. Most of
basic sounds are microphone recordings of different
instruments, original acoustic installations like
sets of stones, glass and metal, as well as field
recordings. The equipment used is a wide spectrum
of contact and dynamic microphones and old telephone
headphones, all enriched with vintage soviet-made
electronic devices from the early 80's. More than
sixty minutes of pure industrial sounds. Digipak.

| GRUNTSPLATTER
- 'Chronicling The Famine' CD (Desolation
House) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! The enigmatic Gruntsplatter is a malleable
creature that hovers in the gray area between abrasive
noise and dark ambient by combining the atmosphere
of one with the density of the other. Evocative and
subtle in it's detail, its mood and depth of composition
are incredibly refined. Dark, sonic expressions spliced
with well performed electronic noise. Gruntsplatter
also draws, somewhat esoterically, from literature,
history, and the death rattles and rituals of an eroding
gene pool. 6-panel digipak.

Gruntsplatter (aka Scott E. Candey) delivers 6 tracks
of unrelenting Death Industrial, adding snarling power
electronic vocals - but there are also some lulls
of repetition and consistency, with intricately layered
and arranged rumbling dark ambient atmospheres. Candey
continues on his path to explore the dark side of
music. Ltd x 300 copies on beautiful blue marbled
vinyl. Now a rare piece!

| INCAPACITANTS
- 'Ministry Of Foolishness' CD (Pure
/ RRRecords) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
RESTOCK! Made up of Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan) and
Fumio Kosakai (C.C.C.C.), the goal of Tokyo's Incapacitants
is to find 'pure noise' using any means necessary
- although usually from electronics and vocals. “Ministry
of Foolishness” is a damn good try to attain
this goal with three tracks totalling nearly 75 minutes
of the harshest, most brutal Japanese Noise with absolutely
no pleasant moments or quiet lulls. You have been
warned. On the RRR Pure imprint with the usual hand-made
and uniquely printed covers.

INCAPACITANTS
/ SEWER
ELECTION - 'Mental Derivatives / Shining
Obsession' 12" (Segerhuva)
- £10 / £12 / £14 |
 |
Split vinyl release between Japanoise legends Incapacitants
and Swedish Noise monsters Sewer Election. With 'Mental
Derivatives' Incapacitants show off their trademark
frenetic vocals, backed up with intense organic and
thick piles of nonsensical body massage from start
to end. The pure energetic electronic sound of Toshiji
Mikawa (Hijokaidan) and Fumio Kosakai (C.C.C.C.) remains
unrivalled to this day. Sewer Election's track shows
a continuation of their latter day style - a monotonous
wall of noise intertwined with serious brain-melting
stasis, skipping the intense cut-up style of the early
days altogether. Ltd x 500 copies. Recommended!

| KAMMARHEIT
- 'Asleep And Well Hidden’ CD (Cyclic
Law) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! The first “official” CD from
this Swedish master of Apocalyptic Dark Ambient. Homogeneous
dark ambiences combined with serene drones and put
together as a shadowy collection of dreamy, melancholic
soundscapes, Kammarheit forms images of long lost
ruins, barren lands and gigantic, rumbling machines.
"Asleep and well hidden" was created as
a tool for dreamers, a place to flee to when the outside
world comes too close. Ltd x 500 copies in 6-panel
textured gatefold sleeve with silver print. A very
highly recommended release!
|
| KARJALAN
SISSIT - 'Tanssit On Loppu Nyt’ CD
(Cyclic
Law) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! Fourth full-length album from one of Sweden's
most respected Martial / Industrial acts. Quoted from
Markus Pesonen himself "This is my personal W.A.R.
against everything that reveals my hate! You are the
enemy! "... so you can expect a logical follow
up to his last album where Anti socialism, Bitterness,
Alcoholism and his Finnish roots are still at the
centre stage of his purpose and where harsh industrial
passages, aggressive vocal lines and soft ambient
textures collide with intense bombastic outbursts.
The album was again exquisitely produced by Peter
Bjärgö (Arcana, Sophia) at Erebus Odora.
Limited to 1500 copies in an outsized textured cover.
A stunning release!

alien atmospheres. Comes with a particular magickal

DES HEILS - 'Gloria' CD (None) - £12
/ £13 / £14 |

Another great work by this German act who create a
hybrid of synth-folk-martial music. Sit back and enjoy
that familiar LDH sound... Everything is present and
correct: the trumpets, the hymn-like compositions,
the drumming, the militant lyrics. But "Gloria"
also includes some distinct innovation to the LDH
sound with the inclusion of female vocals and harsh
electric guitar into the mix. Harmony is not overwhelmed
though and the band stay true to their core aesthetic.
Self released first edition, strictly limited to 500
numbered copies in wax-sealed hand-made covers. Act

Enhanced CD (Strely

- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Reissue version of this superb release (originally
self-released in an edition of 48 copies). Dark Folk
with a touch of Martial Industrial, but its roots
go deeply into Russian classical music traditions
of 20th century. Gloomy with a portion of romanticism
and with a strong reflection of traditional Russian
folklore in the lyrics. The CD also includes a video
clip directed by the band and filmed by Wolfsblood.
35 minutes of music. Russian import.

Cordell Klier's second Monstrare release was a surprise
blast of originality in the dark ambient genre when
it was released in 2003. This release largely continues
the frozen drone theme with bleak, Dark Ambient soundscapes
and horrifying moments of intense terror-filled drone.
10 tracks of seething darkness and demonic / ritualistic
overtones.

NEW
RISEN THRONE - 'Whispers Of The Approaching
Wastefulness’ Enhanced CD (Cyclic
Law)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The latest offering from one of Italy's finest Black
Ambient masters. The main concept and feeling of this
album can best be described as the "steps"
or "journey" leading to the acknowledgment
of the approaching end of all things. "Whispers"
represent doubts and thoughts about the prevalent
decadence that is around and deep within us and "wastefulness"
translates to the imminent, definitive end of all
things, to oblivion. A bleak and sorrow filled soundtrack
celebrating death with little hope for rebirth. This
enhanced CD features an exclusive bonus video clip
of the unreleased track "Unknown (II)".
File next to Megaptera, Kerovnian etc. First 1000
copies come in a 6 panel textured digifile.

SKORPIO - 'Delta Amoeba' MCD (Some

 |
"A review I was reading described this as 'sick-hop'
and that tag seems to fit. This is not trip-hop or
pop music... but it is a relative. Delta Amoeba has
the sonic experimentation and aesthetic of an underground
noise album but somehow channels recent 'electronica'
without compromise. Imagine if trip-hop star Tricky
gave up the reefer, moved to Finland, and got depressed
and lost his mind... and you'll be on the right path."

| PSYCHIC
TV - 'Hell Is Invisible...Heaven Is Her/e’
CD (Sweet
Nothing) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The first new studio album from PTV3/Psychic TV since
1995's "Trip Reset". Whilst this album is
not a ”concept album” or a musical play
per se, it does centre around a more or less chronological
journey through death to resurrection of the physical
body and through confusion via revelation to spiritual
epiphany. All of the experiences unfold viewed through
the magickal lens of “Pandrogeny.” The
aim of Pandrogeny is to celebrate similarities in
humans rather than be at the mercy of fear of differences
as the only viable path to a unified evolution of
the human species. Features guest artists Nick Zinner
(Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers)
and Douglas Rushkoff.

| RUKKANOR
- 'Despartica - Face One' CD (War
Office Propaganda) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Despartica is a collection of impressions, situations
and moments in life. The particular parallel between
lyrics based on old poetry (Blake, Yeats, Rosetti
etc), and all that happens nowadays, often creates
an atmosphere of bitter reflection and irony. Desires,
beliefs, dreams, emotions, experiences, the beauty
of life and the sight of inevitable death in 19th
and 20th Century poems "framed" by varied
music - from strong industrial rhythms to romantic
ballads with melancholic recitations and singing.
Guest vocals from Reinhard Hopfe (Stahlwerk
9). Very different to the usual Rukkanor sound!

SWORD VOLCANO COMPLEX - 'Phosphorescent’
CD (Triumvirate)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! "Phosphorescent" represents the
aural manifestation of a return to light, strength,
and self-assurance after the darker, more introspective
and at times longing debut material. SVC is comprised
of the core talents and creative visions of Bruce
LaFountain and John
Murphy (Death In June, KnifeLadder etc), who are
frequently assisted by the crucial contributions of
Karl Blake. A release that skillfully balances genuine
musicianship and phantasmagoric experimentation.

| TRIST

Dimensions) - £16 / £17 / £18 |
 |
Sensational Dark Ambient release by the mastermind

(Germany). Trist sends you on a journey into luminescent,
airy, graceful yet malicious worlds. 120 minutes of
Dark Ambient soundscapes which merge perfectly with
most intense Black Metal. Deep, cold and emotional
night music - highly recommended to all followers
of the Dark Ambient / Black Metal movement (Vinterriket
etc). Presented in a stunning double foldout digipak.

| VEIL
OF SECRECY - 'V.O.S.’ CD (Triumvirate)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! While sharing some of the same trademark
characteristics of shifting unease and resonating
darkness as YEN POX, Hall's solitary sonic visions
contain elements of an almost organic, atavistic nature.
Elicits the sensations of an unnaturally suspended
sunset - a lingering dusk of dying, burnt orange heat
and light washing over one's face, while a cold, encroaching
dimness chills the back of the neck.

ONSEN GEISHA - 'The Midnight Gambler' CD
(Pure
/ RRRecords) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
RESTOCK! This is the cult 1996 full length of crazed
psychedelic noise collage from Japan's Violent Onsen
Geisha (aka Masaya Nakahara). The ‘music’
ranges from super surreal sound events to brutal feedback
shriek, a never-ending stream of epileptic noise seizures
and ultra spastic tape-splicing insanity that is sort
of like Boredom's Yamatsuka Eye screaming over Negativland
cassettes that have been left by the radiator for
way too long. On the RRR Pure imprint with the usual
hand-made and uniquely printed covers.

| VISIONS
- 'Lapse’ CD (Cyclic
Law) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! New solo work from Frédéric
Arbour (Instincts/Cyclic Law). This sonic venture
takes us on and intense, solemn ambient journey through
the minds eye and beyond. A transcendental voyage
through thick, droning layers immersed in richly obscure,
ever evolving abstract sonorities fused with mystically
charged passages, this is a relentless visionary experience
through time and space, to realms beyond our imagination.
As with all Cyclic Law releases, this comes highly
recommended as some of the best Dark Ambient around
today! Ltd x 1000 copies in gatefold sleeve.

| WHITEHOUSE
- 'Racket’ CD (Susan
Lawly) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Brand new Whitehouse studio album of anthemic "afro
noise to blow your fucking mind". Some great
screaming, apocalyptic vocals by both Bennett and
Best, taking on the deranged aspect seen in older
tracks such as "Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel".
With some instrumental and calm tracks amongst their
renowned Power Electronics style, this is perhaps
the most experimental and wildly diverse Whitehouse
album yet, expanding their sonic palette and pointing
towards a brave new future. 7 tracks. 16-page booklet
with full song lyrics and stunning artwork.

FRÛMI - 'Legends - Act 1’ CD
(Waerloga)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Act 1 in the instrumental 'Legends' series by the
duo of Simon Kölle (Musterion, Abnocto) and Simon
Heath (Atrium Carceri). This album, filled with medieval,
dark orchestral and fantasy atmospheres, tells music
from the majestic dwarven wars to the great cleansing
lead by the dark order Vasilievich. With the Legends
series Za Frûmi take a step away from the dialogue-driven
albums in the "Za Frûmi Saga", yet
still reminds of the good old days of early Mortiis.

FRÛMI - 'Legends - Act 2’ CD
(Waerloga)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Act 2 in the instrumental Legends series by the duo
of Simon Kölle (Musterion, Abnocto)
and Simon Heath (Atrium

of two vampires (Jakesh and Rianji) and tells of the
blood rituals and killing of mortals as a means of
freeing themselves from the earth. Well-played mystical,
dark fantasy and medieval music, as to be expected.
The booklet is rich with beautiful artwork and texts.
Za Frûmi have really outdone themselves with
this masterpiece!

ARTISTS - 'Avanto 2006’ CD (Avanto
Recordings) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This 3-way split features exclusive tracks by Tony
Conrad, Ralf
Wehowsky and Jim
O'Rourke, composed for the annual 'Avanto' festival
in Helsinki. Conrad’s piece works a lone processed
violin to glorious effect; the solo variant of his
“four violins.” Wehowsky's track is a
musique concrète piece built out of assorted
instrumentation and children’s vocals. O'Rourke's
piece is a stunning rumination of drone-sound (harkening
back to his “disengage” era) and incorporates
20-odd years of material from his personal tape collection.
Presented in a 6-panel digifile.

ARTISTS - 'Idioscapes’ CD (Idiosyncratics
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The only concept given to each artist taking part
in this compilation was that they had to provide a
specific / particular / idiosyncratic piece. Qualified
as a “drone paradise” by Lasse Marhaug
(Jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole,
full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces,
subtle and strong. 70 minutes of authentic acoustic
researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and
glittering textures, subliminal frequencies and narrative
inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments from:
Charlemagne Palestine, Critikal, Daniel
Menche, Eve And The Sickness, Idiosyncrasia, Janek
Schaefer, Jazkamer,
Keith
Fullerton Whitman, KK
Null, Rapoon,
Sébastien Roux, Steffen Bashô-Junghans
and Troum.
Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak.
