its first official release after 12 years of silence. 3 tracks

Noise side of Satori. Inspired by the Ringu trilogy, these

| AIDAN
BAKER - 'Broken & Remade’ CD (Volubilis
Records) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
This new record is quite a step forward for Aidan
Baker and his myriad of releases. Think round about
Fennesz melded with the Boards Of Canada / Warp Records
jazz style and you're getting close. A bunch of small
samples of analogue instruments (guitars, bass, flute,
voice drums, trumpet, and violin) spliced and clipped
together to form these compositions. Beautiful, hypnotic
and totally unlike his previous work in either Nadja
or Arc. Digipak, ltd x 1000.

| CHANGES
- 'A Ripple In Time’ LP (White
Label) - £15 / £17 / £19 |
 |
US Neofolk. "When the concept for this album
was in its seminal stages, we came to the realization
that there were several songs from Changes' earlier
years which had yet to be released in any form. Some
had been recorded on early "demo" tapes
while others had not. Thus, it was decided that instead
of using previously recorded tracks, we would return
to the studio to create new renditions of these songs.
Additionally, the arrangements, bridges, and harmonies
were enhanced to better reflect our current style.
Also included in this album are three new songs...
Essentially, the album bridges the years from Changes'
inception to its present incarnation." White
vinyl in an embossed and gold-foiled heavy gatefold
cover. Ltd edition of 700 numbered copies! US import.

| DAPNOM
- 'Verklärt Nacht’ CD (Sonic
Tyranny) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Dapnom is a Black satanic ritual ambient-project from
France. "Verklärt Nacht is the soundtrack
to your nightmares. One track clocking in at just
over an hour, it's a mind-bending journey into the
darkest recesses of your being. It will take you to
those places that the light never sees and forces
you to be still. It's a dank, lightless basement.
An unknown presence brushes your cheek. Black drones,
the mechanisms of hell. To numb to run, to terrified
to scream, all you can do is wait for a salvation
that never comes. In the end, you are left fetal,
spent and barely sane...but stronger for having survived.
One of the best in the genre and a must own."
[Plaguehaus]

| DEATH
IN JUNE - 'The World That Summer’ CD
(New
European Recordings) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! "There is nothing more beautiful or
so alluring than self-deceit. In a World full of dead
ends there is little to hold onto. One sees oneself
in how one stands in relation to others. That can
be a lonely picture. Lies, therefore, dominate. Sedge
grows in the fen flourishing in the water burning
the blood of everyone who touches it. There is no
cure. When all seems lost, something unexpected happens.
To taint beyond redemption, The World That Summer".
Personnel: Douglas P., David Tibet (Christ 777) and
Andrea James. Death In June is the musical brainchild
of English Neofolk musician Douglas Pearce. Spot varnished
and foil-blocked digipak.

| DIE
MACHT - 'Blut Unter Den Fahnen’ LP
(Slaughter
In Art) - £13 / £15 / £17 |
 |
RESTOCK! Apocalyptic war music from this Swiss outfit.
Literally meaning 'more blood under the flag",
this LP is "...a homage to the victims of allied
bombardments, and in particular to the town of Dresden".
Martial post-Industrial, orchestral, neoclassical
with dark ambient. Heroic imagery with some German
historical excerpts. Presented in a nice, embossed
sleeve. Limited, numbered edition of 500 copies with
inserts. Act fast!

| GERRITT
& JOHN
WIESE - 'The Disappearing Act EP’ MCD
(Misanthropic
Agenda) - £9 / £10 / £11 |
 |
It's Wiese - brace yourself. This 20 minute EP sees
the noise maverick working with Misanthropic Agenda
label boss Gerritt, hardly a shrinking violet himself,
having gone head to head with Merzbow, D Yellow Swans
and Sunn0))) in the past. 'The Disappearing Act EP'
starts out with two short, sharp shocks of mashed-up
sound, sudden jolts of electricity and the worrying
rush of what sounds like toxic gas escaping from a
canister. The final track is one 15 minute fade up
of unbearably caustic jet engine whine. It'll have
you pinned back in your armchair while your face gets
pummelled by its horribly intense power. Digipak.

AFFRES DE LA MORT - 'Vorwärts : Freiheit
: Europa’ LP (Slaughter
In Art) - £14 / £16 / £18 |
 |
RESTOCK! Martial and Neofolk anthems, with solemn,
haunting Dark Ambient passages. 17 tracks in total
from this French artist ("the pangs of death")
on newly-founded French label Slaughter In Art. Limited
edition of 500 copies in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve
with an A2 hand-numbered poster. A very nice, quality
piece indeed - act fast!

| LUSTMORD
- 'Carbon / Core’ Enhanced CD (Happy
Pencil) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! A collection of intense sound environments
from the master of Dark Ambient: Lustmord. “Carbon/Core”
is the fully developed expansion of acoustical ideas
originating as 2.5 minutes of unique sound events,
made exclusively for the “happypencil.com/dark”
project. Over an hour in length, this truly amazing
set of soundscapes comes packaged in a fully illustrated,
deluxe 6 panel digipak. This enhanced CD also includes
the "Lustmord VS. HappyPencil" video teaser
of animated imagery.

LUSTMORD
- 'The Place Where The Black Stars Hang’ CD (Soleilmoon
/ Side
Effects)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
RESTOCK! "The Place Where the Black Stars Hang”
was first released in 1994 on Side Effects, and while
the earlier Lustmord album "Heresy" gave
birth to the "Dark Ambient" genre, it is
“The Place Where the Black Stars Hang”
that defines it. It’s a work regularly cited
by critics, audiences and musicians as being amongst
the very best and most influential albums of its decade.
This new edition has been re-mastered and given new
artwork. The differences are subtle yet powerful,
giving the album a more nuanced feeling of space and
detail than ever before. Oft imitated, but never equalled,
Lustmord: The Power of Sound. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

| MAN
IS THE BASTARD NOISE / GERRITT
- 'Split’ 7" (Misanthropic
Agenda) - £6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
Man is the Bastard Noise is Wood from MITB and AQ buddy
John Weise. Their side of this single is an almost tranquil
blanket of high end whir, sounding like an orchestra
of mosquitoes, helicopters, kitchen appliances, and
madly chirping birds. Almost dreamy in that peculiar
noise kind of way. The B side comes courtesy of label
honcho Gerritt Wittmer and is three tracks of affected
sinister vocals, looped and chopped chunks of low end
distortion. Ltd x 800 copies on beautiful marbled vinyl
with heavy sleeve.

LP, plus a bonus disc packed with over 58 minutes

enhanced CD-ROM video/screensaver. Presented here

encompasses the expansive brilliance of this incredible
masterpiece. "Frog" is an explosive journey
through a living, breathing biosphere filled with
amazing digital amphibians, reptiles, and insects.

WIESE - 'Multiplication’ CD (Misanthropic
Agenda) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
An impressive display of both incredible composition
and furious power from experimental masterminds Masami
Akita (Merzbow) and John Wiese (Sissy Spacek, Bastard
Noise etc.) Akita and Wiese pull no punches. No beats,
no prog, no techno - just pure delivery and satisfaction
of electronic extreme. Wiese utilises a great range
of sounds / textures / paces (from harsh to subtle)
and styles (cut up, slow ambient build, and pure powerful
outbursts). The collaboration also brings some of
the best elements from Merzbow's analogue days together
with the best elements of the laptop. ‘Multiplication’
was produced in the tradition of mail collaboration
in 2004. Second edition in jewelcase.

- £12 / £13 / £14 |

Dark with laid back rhythms and sinister melodies
whirling around psychedelic samples and organic drumming.
Experimental post-modern ambient rock with a touch
of Scorn, Meat Beat Manifesto and Godflesh - but not
so heavy. More open, transparent and psychedelic and
with ambient and acoustic sidesteps. This album features
'Signia' remixes by Burp, Chris Wood, DJ Surgeon,
Eraldo Bernocchi, KK
Null, Moshang, P.C.M., Psychedelic Desert, Richard
Dunlap and Wodan. Slovenian import.

THE
TAJALLI VORTEX - 'The Tajalli Vortex’
Pro-CDR (Freenoise)
-
£8 / £9 / £10 |
 |
TTV are a five-piece group of established and energetic
free-musicians, standing at the forefront of the new-experimental
wave in the renowned musical city of Sheffield, UK.
This 75 minute 'white knuckle ride into the severest
improvisations' are highlights recorded 'in the earth'
entirely live at sessions over the '06-'07 winter
months. Eerie and atmospheric female and male vocals,
deep synth, percussion, bass and reed noises gradually
rise to kinetic and howling psycho-rock! An exciting
and at times uneasy listening - certainly difficult
to take in one sitting unless of course you're prepared
for a long trip! Ltd x 200 copies. Pro-duplicated
CDR.

THEE
FREE - 'Welcome To Libery City’ CDR
(Freenoise)
-
£6 / £7 / £8 |
 |
The most inventive and progressive album so far from
Thee Free. At times imaginative and always very free,
even when soaked in (sporadic) heavy rhythms or walls
of harsh noise. Mangled radio output and voice samples
blend with abusive storms of coloured noise, drums,
clarinet, flutes and heavy electric guitars make twisted
and psychedelic appearances. Certain tracks show how
the total (sometimes very gradual) deterioration of
a 'tune' can amount to something just as, if not more,
engaging. The album title is in tribute to Mark Stewart
and the Mafia's track 'Liberty City'. Stimulating
and truly experimental. Standard CDR. Ltd x 50 numbered
copies only!
