CD (CSR92CD) |

Shipping:
21st April
The
Sutcliffe Jügend filthy dirt-mess of an album that is
Pigdaddy is now available on Cold Spring. Six stories of mind-fucking
depravity. Pigdaddy contains some of the most fucked up, histrionic
and downright bizarre vocals ever recorded. The music is created
using the most basic sound sources. The overwhelming sense
of moral decay makes this Sutcliffe Jügend's most original
album yet. Pigdaddy is Beyond Perverse. Sexual transgression
never sounded so dirty. Hear Pigdaddy and you will never feel
clean again. 45+ mins of music. Cover painting by Kevin Tomkins.

ACID
MOTHERS TEMPLE & THE COSMIC INFERNO -
'Ominous From The Cosmic Inferno' CD
(Essence
Music) - £13 / £14 / £15 |
 |
What this powerful Japanese quartet delivers on their
6th album, "Ominous From The Cosmic Inferno",
is a nothing short of amazing. A super wild, punishingly
dark slab of experimental psychedelic hell where fuzz
blasted, ultra riffing and hypnotic speed guru guitar
chaos (courtesy of Kawabata Makoto) meet early Amon
Düül-influenced druggy, acoustic, mantric
folk experimentalisms and eastern drones from below.
The scent of sulphur fills the air and brings on the
Japanese psychedelic inferno! Presented in a deluxe,
sturdy gatefold mini-LP package featuring cosmic artwork
by Jason Killinger and including a striking pop-up!
Ltd x 1000. Brazilian import.

Finally make available on CD (original released as
a picture disc on Tumult) is one of the most captivatingly
beautiful recordings from The Melting Paraiso U.F.O.
line-up! Motorik krautrock rhythms work side by side
with interstellar signals, ghostly female voices and
analogUE synths. Bursts of damaged psych brilliance
and free guitars open and seal the album, healing
the aural wounds for / from the mammoth droney, mysterious
and transcendental ambient experience of the title
track, built with the aid of a non traditional array
of instruments, like sarangi, sitar, zurna and tibetan
trumpet. Definately not of this world. Guest stars
Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins) . This extended CD edition
features two extra tracks and new artwork and comes

OMBRA - 'Rites Of Genesis (Equinox Tremendum'
CD (War
Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Romanian project Ad Ombra’s debut album offers
a suite in 15 parts of Dramatic Orchestral art, rooted
in the timeless fragrance of Classical music, adorned
with Eastern lullabies, funeral dirges, monumental
choirs and operatic female chants, theatrical soliloquies,
industrial hues of a dark disturbing manner, all coagulated
in order to depict the aesthetical testimonies of
the project’s mastermind, George D. Stanciulescu.
A spiral of emotions, thoughts, opalescent visions,
essential recurrences, for Creation’s shrine
that stands as a living mirror where everyone can
reflect the(m)selves. For fans of Elend, Stoa, Sophia
and Chaostar. Digipak.

ALTAR
OF FLIES / SEWER
ELECTION - 'Split' LP (Release
The Bats) -
£12 / £14 / £16 |
 |
Split slab of vinyl from two of the best acts currently
dwelling in the depths of the Swedish underground scene.
Altar Of Flies continues with his dark and eerie forest
rumblings. Buried claustrophobic lo-fi insanity straight
from hell with heavy outbursts of feedback, which could
have been outtakes from an old Dario Argento soundtrack.
Sewer Election fill the flipside with the nasty "Rotten
Corpse" - a crude and disgusting piece full of
monotonous, freezing coldness. Mean-spirited ugliness
from both bands. Mastered by Patrik Jonsson (Dødsdømd).

OF DECAY - 'Bleeding On The Flowers' Pro-CDR
(BloodLust!)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
CDR edition of the out-of-print cassette (2007, ltd
x 50 copies). Angel of Decay is Jonathan Canady (Deathpile,
Blunt Force Trauma). For this project, he focuses
on "heavy experimental electronics created using
vintage analog synths and other out of date equipment".
Heavier and more raw than "Covered in Scars (2005)",
this is the perfect follow-up to the "Radio Brain
Damage" 7" (2006). This format allows for
a sharper and more vivid listening experience, and
the crackling electronic sounds seem more insistent
than ever. Pro-duplicated CDR.

MULM - 'Of Withered Sparks' CD (Loki
Foundation) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
The third album of Antlers Mulm opts for deep resonating
tones that are harmonious and hypnotic with a greater
emphasis on percussion, and the massive foray into
song based structures. Dark beats linked with electro-pop
vibes bring highlights of an extraordinary world of
sound. Phantasmagorial melodies melt into an intense
atmosphere guided by the voice of Hans Johm. These
10 songs catch the mood of the warm feeling of being
at home and create a landscape of a coruscant kingdom
that lies deep within the lyrical and musical expression.

Great reissue of Aube's seminal 1996 album "Métal

unreleased live material from Aube's "Metal De
Metal" tour. All sounds are processed sounds
of metal, but the material here is taken beyond the
obviously abrasive possibilities and reworked into
something more - from cold metal to soft repeating
clouds with friction at their core. Presented in a
super jewelbox. Our favourite of all the Aube albums.

MENCHE - 'Creatures Of Cadence' CD (Crouton
/ Longbox
Recordings) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
“Creatures of Cadence” finds Menche in
full exploratory mode; excavating well-concealed networks
of sonorous information through a systematic deconstruction
of drone and pulse. In the process, he further erases
any perceived division between hearing / feeling and
performer / instrument. The result, if consumed at
the appropriate amplitude, is nothing less than a
sixty minute journey through a voluptuous and pristine
mania. Released in an edition of 500, including three
full colour inserts and overwrap with images of detailed
bird drawings peppered with a whisper of the disturbing
by Eric Stotik. A fitting visual analogue to the vehement
beauty of the aural.

MAKESHIFT - 'L'Anse Amort' CD (20
Buck Spin) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Half Makeshift is the solo project of Pennsylvania's
Nathan Michael. L'anse Amort contains four tracks
that expand on the density of his debut "Aphotic
Leech", creating more space and reflection, more
peaks and valleys. The monumental 17 minute opener
"Whale Heart" builds from a simple melody
and crackling electro-static to eventually collapse
under its own weight in a huge Nadja-esque wall of
drone riffery , while other tracks are comparable
to Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore. "L'anse Amort"
is epic in a way most "post-rock" bands
can only aspire to. Comes specially packaged in a
vertical gatefold with four photographic postcards.

- 'A2982' CD (War

"Let us not be deluded by the spells of this
sorcerer; because the first sounds overturn time's
acknowledged and safe definition and begin constructions
of different, weirder spaces. This is the last chance
to resign and turn back. Otherwise, when you listen
to the end of first track the only thing left to say
is "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas
anymore". You begin your own, separate (and the
longest?) journey. What do you see on your way? What
unknown lands, traditions, incomprehensible rituals
and dialects will you discover? I don't know. But
I am sure that if David Lynch ever undertook the filming
of "Alice in the Wonderland" the soundtrack
of the movie will be filled with the music from 'A2982'."

| IRR.
APP. (EXT.) - 'Dust Pincher Appliances' CD
(Crouton)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
"Dust Pincher Appliances" was originally
released in 1998 in a shorter, alternate form (10”
vinyl, Something Weird Records, Iceland). This CD
edition reveals different versions of the original
recordings, as well as three tracks not present on
the 10” edition. Some might say that anything
graphic artist, sound artist, and writer Matt Waldron
produces is peculiar, and his work as irr. app. (ext.)
is no exception. Each minute of these startlingly
Dadaist compositions reveals unexpected surprises.
The instrumentation, who knows? A bit of everything
really, except the standard ones. However, the style
is not a mess, but rather an obsessively scrutinised
audio story, aural painting, or sound experience,
which is quite devastating to take in. Presented in
a gatefold digisleeve.

The second album from Italian Mariæ Nascenti was
produced by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen), "Raise..."
is arguably the best work of Mariæ Nascenti: pain,
loneliness, immagination, dreams, blood, souls and flesh
collide together in this wonderfully emotional album.
It develops though vital energy a devastating tabula
rasa of feelings, through other-worldly melodies, "found"
songs, silences, sudden spoken texts, obscure nightmare
soundtracks and cold nocturnal music for black &
white memories. Guests: Larsen, Northgate, Blind Cave
Salamander, Femina Faber / Ludmila, DsorDNE and more.

| OSSO
EXÓTICO & Z'EV
- 'Osso Exótico & Z'EV' CD (Crouton)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Portuguese avant-garde ensemble Osso Exótico
have created a stunning body of work since 1989 (current
members being André Maranha, David Maranha
and Patricia Machás). With very little history
to be found about the band, the music speaks for itself.
Percussionist Z’EV, who has spent the better
part of 40 years finding ways to coax sound out of
material, and then creating a mystic cacaphony out
of it, also uses sound as communication. Together,
this grouping produces quite a statement, as sound
becomes something unexplained by words, yet shared
as an experience. This isn’t glassine drone
music. It spews the grit of Tony Conrad and the trance
of Terry Riley, while radiating the experience of
a sweat lodge in a behemoth explosion of tribal minimalism.
With no sound processing, the result is a highly natural,
grossly enigmatic, and deeply energised recording.
The power is yours for the taking. Released in an
edition of 500 and packaged in an offset printed chipboard
envelope.

OUTOFSIGHT
- 'Vodka Likes Smoke (The Damned Poets)' CD (War
Office Propaganda /
Rage In Eden) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Poor alcohol and the smoky interior of a pub. The
common despair shouted out in rare moments of sobriety.
The terrible, absurd atmosphere of Poland in 50’s
and 60’s of last century. Young people, poets,
writers, painters and musicians thrown out of the
"happy and ideal” society created by communistic
authorities. People sinking their dreams in vodka.
The works of those damned: Kazimierz Raton (1942-1983),
Marek Hlasko (1934-1969) and Edward Stachura (1937-1979)
was inspiration for this moving album. Musically it
is perfectly blended mix of cold wave, Neofolk, pop
and even echoes of decadent cabaret with different
guest vocals. Digipak.

PENJAGA
INSAF & VESTIGIAL
- 'Of Earth And Of Fire' 12" (Power

- £11 / £13 / £15 |
 |
The German Penjaga Insaf delivers enigmatic, ritualistic
soundscapes built from layers of percussive, deeply
meditative patterns, interwoven with original field
recordings made by the artist during extensive travels
through Indonesia. Italy's Vestigial presents an immense
stream of pitch black ambience infused with dark tectonic
upheavals and voice fragments that boil forth from
a seething flood of magma before sinking back into
the molten stew. The ancient sounds of the Earth as
scorched by devastating waves of brooding Fire.

| RICHARD
CHARTIER - 'Archival 1991' CD (Crouton)
- £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Throughout his recent work, Chartier has continued
to present sound as design - clean, simple design,
implying colors and direct lines and shapes; a spotless,
modern room; a series of colored screens. His release
on Crouton predates this taste, when things were a
bit more complex, a bit more intense. As his recent
work sucks the listener into white space, Archival
1991 takes you straight into a black hole, in the
most comfortable way imaginable. This is a different
kind of clean simplicity. The work is beautiful, stunning,
and most of all, complexly powerful. The recording
is based on two compositions from 1991, using analogue
and digital synthesizers. In 2003, these original
pieces were used as source material for this new work,
resulting in an extremely intriguing revisit, and
aesthetically true to much of his work from the same
period. Presented in a 6-panel sleeve in a hand-numbered
edition of 500 copies.

- 'Despair - Digitally Extracted' DVD (Twin
Vision / CaTV)
- £16 / £17 / £18 |
 |
After being hidden in time for about 25 years this
Industrial milestone of the infamous 1st generation
has been renovated, extended and digitally overworked
by CaTV. The members at that time were known as Operator,
Ne(H)il and Tone Generator. SPK explore the concept
of various psycho-pathological conditions, especially
schizophrenia, manic-depressive psychosis, mental
retardation and paranoia. Information overload supersedes
normal, rational thought structures, forcing deviation
into less restrictive mental procedures of so-called
'mental illness'. This DVD compiles material that
marked the genesis of the group, with rare live performances
covering music from “Leichenschrei” to
“Information Overload”, live rehearsal
footage, slide shows, documentary and a filmed interview
with Tone Generator (Domink Guerin). The only group
in industrial music history that stands on the same
level as Throbbing Gristle. PAL, Region 0 (will play
in all European DVD players). Rated 18+.

| WE
WAIT FOR THE SNOW - 'Lullabies From Our Dreams'
CD (Final
Muzik) - £12 / £13 / £14 |
 |
Debut album from We Wait For The Snow - a project of
Andrea Penso (Selaxon
Lutberg) and Simone Zuccolin. The sound is deliberately
lo-fi and is created exclusively with economical instruments:
acoustic and electric guitars, cheap keyboards, accordion,
farfisa, flute and various non-musical objects. The
aim is to create a confidential atmosphere through the
balance between "dream" and "sadness".
There is a sense of precarious balance in the songs,
that alternates moments of pure improvisation with much
more studied and controlled tracks. Tthe songs are about
dreams, lullabies and tales from the forest. For fans
of raw, occult and lo-fi recordings, drone music, psych-folk,
field recordings, concrete noise and acoustic melodies.
"Troum meets Espers". Ltd x 600 copies in
a beautiful digisleeve. |
