HEX - 'Gone Every Evening' 7" (Die
Stadt) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Two
collaborative pieces by Andrew Liles and Fovea Hex,
with Fabrizio Palumbo as special guest. Featuring Andrew
Liles, Clodagh Simonds, Laura Sheeran, Fabrizio Palumbo
and Michael Begg, these two strange songs will find
the way swiftly to your very core, quite by themselves,
to simultaneously delight and only faintly unsettle
you. Needless to say that everyone who enjoyed the 'Neither
Speak Nor Remain Silent' trilogy by Fovea Hex will
also love this. Ltd x 500 copies in an attractive gatefold
cover with printed inner sleeve designed by Andrew Liles.

HOROLOGIUM
& MOLJEBKA
PVLSE - 'Penfield Mood Organ' CD (Divine
Comedy)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
"Penfield
Mood Organ" is about a device from Philip K. Dick's
book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
- a box designed to induce emotions and feelings in
people. This release is definitely the coldest to date
for Horologium or Moljebka Pvlse. Divided into three
evolutive parts (along with an opening piece) and quickly
diving into lurking sadness, "Penfield Mood Organ"
initiates the feeling of something tragic soon to be
unleashed. Ltd x 500 copies in a digifile.

DER JÜNGLINGE - '-1' CD (Die

Part
three of the series of live CD's by the ongoing Thomas
Köner / Asmus
Tietchens project. '-1' features their second performance
at the Lagerhaus on 28th April 2001. For everyone who
liked '1' and '0' this is not to be missed. It once
more shows their mutual talent of building a sound landscape
of striking depths that, if the listener is willing,
will draw him in further and further with every new
listen. Ltd x 900 regular copies in a card sleeve.

DER JÜNGLINGE - '0' CD (Die

This
is the second part of the ongoing series of live performances
(numbered backwards) by Kontakt Der Jünglinge -
the collaborative project of renowned sound sculptor's
Thomas
Köner and Asmus
Tietchens. '0' was recorded inside the M.S. Stubnitz,
a ship situated in the harbour of Rostock, Germany.
Much more 'basic' in the use of sounds than their first
CD '1', the 43 minute long track creates a more dense
and dark atmosphere with occasional rhythmic additions,
seeming to reflect the space it was recorded in. Ltd
x 900 regular copies in a card sleeve.

Fourth
part in the ongoing series of live collaborations by
Thomas
Köner and Asmus
Tietchens. This marks the end of the first phase
in their mutual work featuring the familiar 'classic'
cover style. The music was recorded on 28th May 2002
at the 'Stedelijk Museum' in Amsterdam and shows the
two treading on quieter grounds this time - crackles,
drones, vast spaces with erratic noises. Ltd x 900 regular
copies in a card sleeve.

| KORINTH
- 'Sign Of Eternal Return' CD (Consruct.Destroy)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
Digipak
reissue of Slovakian artist Korinth's 2006 debut album,
with all new artwork. Korinth's first opus is a mixture
of dark, orchestral ambient of great proportions. Beautiful
choirs, orchestral parts and a sense for darkness are
presented in a single, 40 minute long journey. Conceptually,
Korinth stands somewhere between philosophy and insanity,
and the album is dedicated to the Nietzschean idea of
"eternal return". Ltd x 500. |
| LOST
KINGDOM - 'As The New Dawn Awakes' CD (Waerloga)
- £11.50 / £12.50 / £13.50 |
 |
Debut album from this Swedish duo (brothers Daniel and
Mikael Tjernberg). The music is neoclassical and leans
towards Strauss but also Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner,
Verdi, Brahms, Dvorák, Tjajkovskij and Mahler.
But it is not only classical music in the romantic style.
It’s also hints of modernism like the masters
Stravinsky, Francis Poulenc and Arthur Honegger. Yet
with their own style and touch of course. The biggest
inspiration for the album is nature.

| NEON
RAIN - 'We Are Meat / The Vultures' CD (Steelwork
Maschine) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
Between drone and power electronics, French act Neon
Rain carries all the suffering of working-class meat
slaves on the first part of this release. From defiance
to resistance, through synth-pop to post-industrial
martial anthems, the second part is dedicated to all
the people around the world who lead our societies to
more chaos and destruction. A no man's land, the ultimate
step to peace. 6-panel digipak.

| ORGANUM
- 'Omega' CD (Die
Stadt) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The
third and final part of the Organum trilogy that started
with 'Sanctus' (Robot Records) and 'Amen'
(Die Stadt). 'Omega' is a further continuation of those
first two parts and "...comes to form in the use
of a church organ like sound, some highly processed
chime like sound and a deep drone of rusty metal in
the background. Just as on 'Sanctus' and 'Amen' - and
much true to the form of Organum mystery, there are
three pieces here, which all sound quite similar - or
perhaps they are similar? ... just enjoy that crazy
genius Organum. I am long converted to his belief"
(FdW). First edition of 600 copies in digipak.

Reissue
of the 2006 Schloss Tegal album, originally issued on
Waystyx, Russia. Schloss Tegal returns with an extreme
excursion into the dark side... devastating sawing and
grinding noises mixed with psychogenic soundscapes.

| SKULLFLOWER
- 'Desire For A Holy War' CD (Utech
Records) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
"Desire
for a Holy War" is mayhem piled on top of mayhem
piled on top of squalls of caustic feedback. Furies
spitting oaths of shrouded vengeance from ancient tongues.
Plague riders dealing death on mounts of venomous ether,
hooves pounding the wild earth. Matthew Bower may have
reached a watershed with last year's "Abyssic Lowland
Hiss" (Heavy Blossom) but it is with "Desire
for a Holy War" that he has come to conquer. Never
has Skullflower sounded so severe or remorseless. Presented
in a 6-panel sleeve with artwork by Circle-9 and Stephen
Kasner.

C.
M. VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Operations Of Spirit
Communication’ LP (Die
Stadt)
- £13 / £15 / £17
Limited repress of the classic album from 2000,
which is partly based on (and also dedicated to)
the work of Friedrich Jurgenson, who believed he
could channel the voices of the dead onto magnetic
tape or shortwave radio. The work was originally
presented as a sound installation that aspired to
achieve communication with other worlds utilising
EVP (the installation picks up electrical and radio
transmissions: microphones record the noise of electricity,
sine wave tones are received, and cameras capture
electric behaviour). 50 minutes of seamless dark
drone / buzz, gradually getting louder and enveloping
the room, even at a low volume. Presented in a stunning,
heavy-weight, matt gatefold sleeve. Opaque vinyl,
ltd x 300 copies.

Holmes and the soundtrack of that series, by this

Wakeford / Guy Harries chamber / classical music
project, which now holds a somewhat more experimental
approach. Ltd x 999 copies in a textured sleeve

ILLUSION
OF SAFETY & THOMAS
KÖNER - ''Untitled’ 7"
(Die
Stadt)
- £8 / £9 / £10
Great split release from Chicago's stalwart post-Industrial
ensemble Illusion Of Safety and Germany's dronecore
specialist Thomas Köner. Illusion Of Safety
takes a confrontationist approach by opening their
condensed program with a jarring clatter of fragmented
film-noir orchestrations that are roughly broken
into a nervous drone. Köner's approach is far
more subtle, gently pushing forward a sublime drone
and allowing it to fade into silence. Released on
the occasion of a rare performance that took place
on 19 September 2002 at the Lagerhaus, Bremen. Regular
edition of 400 copies.

NEON
RAIN - 'Dirtier Than The Dirt’
CD (Steelwork
Maschine) - £10 / £11 / £12
Neon Rain is a project from France, making music
in the field of dark ambient-industrial. This is
their first album, and it is also the start of the
new record label Steelwork Maschine. NEON RAIN combine
rhythmic industrial with dark ambient and experimental
elements. Quite a nice and varied album of this
promising act, from the same stable as Westwind.
Ltd x 500.

 |
PROPERGOL
- 'Tormentor’ 7" (Nuit
Et Brouillard) - £5 / £6 / £7
Excellent vinyl debut from this French modern power
electronics / death industrial unit, here probably
at his harshest, presenting two pieces of distorted
electronics with a uniquely urban theme. Harshly
distorted pulsations and loops together with painful
screeches, hypnotic voices and hysterical cries
result in an intense listening experience. Black
vinyl in stylish full colour fold out sleeve with
A6 postcard.

WHITEHOUSE
- 'Asceticists 2006' CD (Susan
Lawly) - £12 / £13 / £14
The 2006 album from British Industrial pioneers
Whitehouse yet again transcends the art of music
and will be life-changing for the unwary. The follow-up
to 2003’s highly-acclaimed “Bird Seed”
it is the culmination of three years of obsessively
meticulous preparation. Produced by William Bennett
“Asceticists 2006” showcases the next
generation revolutionary new sound across seven
indispensable new tracks. Presented with a very
nice 24-page booklet with all song lyrics. Need
we say anything else?
