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.

All Horologium TitlesAll Moljebka Pvlse Titles

KONTAKT DER JÜNGLINGE - '-1' CD (Die Stadt) - £12 / £13 / £14
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.

All Kontakt Der Jünglinge Titles

KONTAKT DER JÜNGLINGE - '0' CD (Die Stadt) - £12 / £13 / £14
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.

All Kontakt Der Jünglinge Titles

KONTAKT DER JÜNGLINGE - 'N' CD (Die Stadt) - £12 / £13 / £14
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.

All Kontakt Der Jünglinge Titles

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.

All Neon Rain Titles

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.

All Organum Titles

ROCK-A-ROLLA - 'Issue #14’ Magazine - £5 / £6.50 / £8

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.


ORCHESTRA NOIR - 'The Affordable Holmes EP' MCD (Extremocidente)
- £9 / £10 / £11

A tribute to Jeremy Brett's performance as Sherlock Holmes and the soundtrack of that series, by this new incarnation of the Tony Wakeford / Guy Harries chamber / classical music project, which now holds a somewhat more experimental approach. Ltd x 999 copies in a textured sleeve with printed inner sleeve and insert. Recommended!


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?
