AURAL HYPNOX TITLES:
AEOGA: COAV [Aural Hypnox] CD
The debut album of Aeoga, titled as 'COAV ', presents very original and haunting material
based on spiralling dark drones, eerie guitar feedback textures, archaic drum and cymbal
patterns, atonal / tonal vocalizations and distant / peculiar sample layers. The 8 tracks of
the album offer material from organic dark ambient / archaic & ascetic horizons to dark
and haunting tribal/ritual atmospheres. "To exhaust mind and body in order to obtain a
condition of non-consciousness and thus receive, realize and create material based on both
primal and absent vision". (total time: 65:52).
Comes in a special octagon shaped cardboard covers including an 6 panel textured
cardboard sleeve. PRICE: 10 €
AEOGA: ZENITH BEYOND THE HELIX-LOCUS [Aural Hypnox] CD
From beyond the mundane symbolscape, the 2nd album of Aeoga - entitled 'Zenith
Beyond the Helix-Locus' - emits aural phenomena from devouring multi-layered elemental
ambience to amorphous and hallucinatory sequences entrancing one's awareness
thoroughly. The fifteen formations manifest themselves in various forms; bright and
luminous helixes intertwine with shadowed and shapeless non-beings. All in all truly
overwhelming material where acoustic instruments and electronic equipment mingle
themselves to channel forth the aural elemental current. (total time: 67:11)
Comes in an oversized 4 panel cardboard covers. PRICE: 10 €
ARKTAU EOS: MIRRORION [Aural Hypnox] CD
Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly
unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging,
complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned
by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of
seven arduous months of work.
As the title suggests, 'Mirrorion' is the music of stellar light thrown down from the
Heaven's zenith and its eldritch reflections in the depths below, uniting atavistic elemental
noise with serene passages of crystalline, spectral ambience. Ultimately, 'Mirrorion' seeks
to surpass such earthly definitions in favour of a non-dual vision of reality, hopefully
transforming the listener in the process.
For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with majority of
instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the unearthly choral of the kanglings,
piercings blasts of windbones, accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various
kinds of stringed instruments.
Comes in an six-panel, A5 booklet. Limited to 1000 copies. PRICE: 12 €
AURAL HOLOGRAMS: VOL. I [Aural Hypnox] CD
All of You who have gone before, across the ages we call You, to join us and together
reach the unsetting stars of the White Nights, the Horizon of Hollow Earth.
The very first part of the Aural Holograms series incorporates various call and response
patterns manifesting vibrating, subtle energies, all of which have been accurately divided
into separate rhythmic dimensions and time-shifting aural tapestries. The overall
experience - i.e. the ecstatic effect - is transmitted by the intensity of syncopated rhythms,
reed organ lingering on a few tones, self-transforming vocal work accompanied with
carefully chosen oscillating tunes and a variety of percussive patterns utilising artefacts
crafted according to the methods of traditional metallurgia, as well as real-time tape
operations.
{ 61°26'N 21°52'E } The rum is poured on the ground, words are spoken in secrecy: the
Dead Men will come to tell their tales.
drones, dynamic ritual-percussions & reverberating gongs/chimes/bells, chanting
vocalizations, various windbones / experimental instruments and analog synthesizers. "All
of the material on this album is dedicated to and inspired by the dynamic subconscious
force which gave impulse to visions relating to auto-cannibalism and metempsychosis".
(total time: 58:10).
Comes in an 6 panel cardboard covers with astounding silver-coloured drawings. PRICE:
10 €
ZOÄT·AON: STAR AUTOPSY [Aural Hypnox] CD
'Star Autopsy' presents nine multi-dimensional dark ambient tracks which range from
radiant textures, mesmerizing / swirling soundscapes to dense / crushing walls of sound
and hidden abstract melodies. By using conventional instruments, various sound
generating devices (such as analog synthesizers and samplers), vocals and other carefully
chosen sonic objects Zoät·Aon manages to create an unique, dynamic and truly enigmatic /
expansive atmosphere that continuously spirals further towards the unknown areas of
consciouness. (total time: 66:21).
Comes in an 6 panel cardboard covers with evocative silver-coloured graphics.
PRICE: 10 €
ZOÄT·AON: THE TRIPLEX BESTIAL [Aural Hypnox] CD
By the careful adjustment and manipulation of both modern and archaic mediums is
created a highly dynamic work of aural alchemy depicting the trance and dream of a carnal
totem standing between Heaven and Earth, where the unearthly sound of starlight's
serpentine arteries winding together with the blackened branches above mingles with the
oneiric hisses and crackles of necromantic phantoms and slithering roots below. A
barbarous, sonic paradox suggesting the subtle arousal of the ancestry in flesh, a work both
soothing and threatening to the intuitive mind. (total time: 61:05)
Comes in an oversized 4 panel cardboard covers. PRICE: 12 €

PRICE: 12 €
HALO MANASH: LANGUAGE OF RED GOATS [Aural Hypnox] CD
Guided by nether nectars and dream herbs, oneiric visions and the light of lunar tides,
Halo Manash Language of Red Goats aims to be a cartography of cavernous elemental
realms and regions, sources and springs that run deep and thick with the fluids of life,
death and dream. What was seeded at the Thin Veils has been gathered at Harvest time,
and is offered to the seeker as a libation and guide into the ever-liminal, shrouded spaces,
for dream-vigils and awakenings. Language of Red Goats is a complete work in itself, but
can also be viewed as the first facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one
holistic creation – three faces of the same being. More akin to a primitive fieldrecording in
the realm of oneirotropic exploration, than an actual album, the work consists of one
lengthy tripartite soundscape. Utilizing only gongs, bells, metal bowls and wind
instruments, as well as flocks of birds, the work is in contrast to earlier more refined works
that feature a wide multiplicity of instruments and soundsources. Language of Red Goats
is a bare, primitive and sometimes raw aural landscape, and yet nonetheless achieves a rare
subliminal intensity and an edge of otherwordly luminosity.
Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 920 copies.
PRICE: 12 €
HALO MANASH: SYoMA [Aural Hypnox] CD
Halo Manash's third full-lenght album, titled 'SYoMA', offer both minimalistic and

20.SV: ACID VOMIT.HUMAN GENOCIDE (Autumn Wind Prod.) CD
Facing a stream of faceless uninspired soft frequencies, 20.SV stands firm and alone in
bringing forth post apocalyptic frequencies of your own demise. Like no other, 20.SV
crafts perfectly its own Industrialized Post Apocalyptic Bio-Nuclear Radiative
Frequencies. Depicting genuinely the future of the human race, 20.SV is set to connect
your mind to images that your feeble descendants will witness. PRICE: 8 €
20.SV: INSECTS (Autumn Wind Prod.) CD
Before you are the sounds of Insects... Radioactive cores thriving on extermination and
nothingness. The Black earth feels before it the buzzing noise of a new dawn, the dawn of
mankind’s fall and the rise of those lurking in the shadows. "Insects" - the second
manifestation of the apocalyptic extermination device, 20.SV - is here to make its most
crucial statement. Taking great pride in crafting the most realistic sounds of extermination
from scratch at their most psychologically agonizing nature, 20.SV is firm on transmitting
the simulation of your own demise through its genuine Industrialized Post Apocalyptic
Bio-Nuclear Radiative Frequencies. PRICE: 8 €
850: GOVERMENT CRIMINALS (Smell The Stench) CD-R
Guitar noise from Holland. 'Goverment Criminals' consists of 16 tracks, each basing on
experimental guitar work (from swirling / hypnotic high frequency textures to low
rumblings). PRICE: 5 €
AALFANG MIT PFERDEKOP: F ICH HABE NUR NOCH (Einzeleinheit) CD-R
A sleepwalking Krautrock-fever dream inside an acoustic mirror cabinet/ Not only has he
invited more friends than ever for his latest album, Mirko Uhlig unveils a veritable
treasure chest of ideas/ Guitars seem to play themselves into ecstacy, whispering
Instrumentals tiptoe through empty coridors of candlelight, lunatic voices murmer from
behind closed doors/ Still the most concise and consolidated aalfang-work up to date/ It's
the musical equivalent of a lava lamp: Warm, woozy and full of wonders. PRICE: 8 €
AARON DILLOWAY: BAD DREAMS (Troniks & Pacrec) CD
Dilloway's got a grave problem! Tense ghost clatter and haunted Michigan sputter collapse
helplessly into fever, exhaustion, depression. This is home-taping of unconscious dread
and hopeless shudder. Originally released in a small edition on his own Hanson Records,
Bad Dreams return for the Wolf Eyes / ex-Violent Ramp / Galen / Couch member. When
Aaron wakes up, he'll wish he were dead... PRICE: 10 €
ACCELERA DECK: POP POLLING (Scarcelight Recordings) CD
Accelera Deck is the current recording guise of one Chris Jeely. Since 1997 Jeely has
produced 7 full-length albums, and over two handfuls of limited editions 12”, 7” and CDR
singles. Pop Polling is his 8th full-length and is a bit of a departure from recent Adeck
efforts. All sounds are still created by guitar, but instead of the ear splitting digital
workouts found on his “Sunstrings ep” (Scarcelight, 2004), we are treated a collection of
songs (yes songs!, like verse/chorus/verse…) highlighting Jeely’s penchant for melody.
There is a sublime simplicity that underpins most of “Pop Polling”, and only on occasion
does it veer into noisier territory. Mostly we are witness to some delicate feedback and
unfolding guitar melodies accompanied by various forms of drones. PRICE: 12 €
ACCELERA DECK SUNSTRINGS ep (Scarcelight Recordings) CD
Following close on the heels of 2003's Ipsissima Vox, Accelera Deck (aka Chris Jeely)
delivers a 30 minute ep of guitar feedback sonorities. In much the same way a split
speaker created a fascinating "new" guitar sound, .Jeely's digitally clipped guitar
ponderings lend a unique character to his sound. At times the guitar oscillates freely, notes
are bent and shaken, new clusters emerge, loops spiral out of control, feedback
overwhelms...... File Under: Beautiful Noise. + 33 minutes of music released on the 3rd
day of the 3rd month with catalog number 33. PRICE: 10 €
ACCOMPLICE AFFAIR: ACT OF CREATION(T'an!Kaven!Ash!) CD-R
Accomplice Affair is dark ambient project which was formed in February, 2005. First
material was recorded in april 2006, at "P.P.R." home studio in Ostrow Wlkp in Poland. It
is called "Act of Creation...” and includes 8 songs. This material is a mixture of dark and
ambient sounds along with experimental savor of expression. Accomplice Affair has been
created by one person which plays the guitar, keyboards and others needful instruments.
PRICE: 7 €
A CROWN OF AMARANTH: LOVE.LIES.BLEEDING (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
Malevolent plunder ambient and knife-wielding nocturnal electronics. Heavily saturated
field recordings of inter-dimensional beasts breaking through to this world. Mega sinister
drones from deep space freighter missions. Sad chorals emerge from circuit wars.
Awesome epic planet-destroying guitar instrumentals. A CROWN OF AMARANTH
follows up the Manuscript/Winterupt release on Audio Savant with this eerie and surreal
noise/ambient/post-rock/mutant electronica sound exploration.Packaged in a handassembled, full-color folder in a resealable plastic sleeve that features stunning artwork

This is her crown of light now shattered ..... Espin is one of them. A CROWN OF LIGHT
(A Crown of Amaranth + Conversations About the Light) tells us his story of pain,
solitude and abandonment through a complex mixture of different sound sources. .....
Blood and fire and I will grow ..... Dark ambient, concrete music, noise, hidden melodies.
PRICE: 12 €
AD LUX TENEBRAE: SKETCHES FROM THAT AUTUMN (Abgurd) CD-R
The first official release of Ural project AD LUX TENEBRAE (TOWARDS THE LIGHT
OF DARKNESS) consists of recordings made during "That Autumn". The main style of
ALT's playing is shamanic, ritual Drone\Dark Ambient, performed (mostly) & fixed with
improvised means in a hut in the midst of Ural forest. Some tracks can be a perfect
soundtrack for `The Blair Witch Project` movie. ALT uses hand-made instruments - a
violin with springs instead of strings, which is played with a bow of steel - field
recordings, fixed in the forests, swamps and villages of Ural. Harp, acoustic & bass
guitars, vocals & voices, as well as old recordings with folk-songs of Bashkir nation were
used. Very potent & original album with strong taste of muskarine, fragrance of autumn
forest and fierceful mesmerism. PRICE: 8 €
AEMAE: THE HELICAL WORD (Isounderscore) CD
First record from longtime AQ pal / customer Brandon Nickell aka Aemae, two long years
in the works and we dare say it was well worth the wait. A gorgeous and exquisitely
crafted abstract free noise drone record. Dark and deliriously dense, a perfect
amalgamation of the experimental dronework of the Hafler Trio, the sweeping skreescapes
of Sunrooof! and Vibracathedral Orchestra and the abstract minimalism of Mirror or
Jonathan Coleclough. As well, this has plenty of distinctly unique sonic elements. Heavily
reverbed chimes and bells are smeared into a twinkling fog, slowly thickening into a dense
slab of electrical impulses, woven together so tightly it resembles a buzzing ball of
hornets, a throbbing thrumming drone. Strange steel drum like electronic pulses, an alien
gamelan, pickes out a tranquil melody beneath swooping and blooping spaciness, sheets of
industrial shuffle, scrape and rumble, leaving sparkling trails of dense and complex almost
IDM skitter in their wake, albeit wrapped in thick gauzy veils of warm reverberant flutter.
All stretched into distant, soft focus soundscapes of warbling whir and creaking ambience.
Quite lovely and sublime! PRICE: 12 €
AENIMA: NEVER FRAGILE (Equilibrium Music) CD
"Never Fragile", Aenima's second official CD release, showcases a more direct approach
in their song writing, yet retains their trade-mark guitar weaving and fabulous female
vocals. A superb combination between technological artefacts and melodic song writing,
augmented by spellbinding vocals. PRICE:10€
AGHIATRIAS: ETHOS (Epidemie Records) CD
Brand new album of Prague chorus AGHIATRIAS overflow you with an apocalyptic
orchestral dark industrial. Compared with the previous album “Regions of Limen”,
newcomer “Ethos” has shorter footage, but you can expect more aggressive conception of
the whole thing. Limited edition of 500 copies in digipak. PRICE: 10 €
AGHIATRIAS: REGIONS OF LIMEN (Epidemie Records) CD
An extensive dark-ambient album devoted to the theme of subliminal sensual perception
and its fictive musical applicaiton. An abstrakt conception of the confrontation between
the surreal and real world (artificial ambient versus realistic industrial sound). The
meditative character of the compositions is brightened by discharges of a kind of
radioactive irradiation, representing the fleeing moments of understanding. The formation
aims for purity of expressive means in an effort to accentuate the role of the primarily
suppressed and ignored spiritual dimension of our world,while pointing to the importance
of the liminal "structures" of our perception. PRICE: 12 €
AGLAIA: MONDI SENSIBILI (Hic Sunt Leones) CD
A soundworld where the vibrations, the poetry and sound teraphy bring the listener into
forgotten sound places. The electronic sounds seem played from the wind, and their
brilliance often seem to come from the cords of an acoustic instrument. PRICE: 12 €
AGLAIA: UNPROFANED TWILIGHT (Faria) CD
The fourth cd of Aglaia is born from the previous work but, in comparison with them, it
develops a wider breath directly from the background’s sounds. The composition is softer
and more refined. Again the sonorous world that here is explored is that one of the
enchantment, of the mild sound fading. An unprofaned and inviolate twilight, where the
different vibrations are balanced, without any sort of tensions. Time rolls by and space too.
The sound is a natural matter and gives birth to an intense crepuscolar light. Listening to
this music is like to see thousands of fine luminous rays, filtered through half-closed
windows. A dance of dust in a never ending movement that catches the light around. With
aglaia’s sound we are in an electroacoustic microcosm full of vibrating signs. The first of
the two long compositions suggests a natural and quiet landscape. The sound’s mood is a
sort of perpetual tinkling, wrapped up a voice coming from the space, that observes from
afar. An harmonic accordance between different reality. The second, even though more
intimate, is equally shining. Everything happens during a night where insects, springwaters and moonlight match themselves together. A swarming midnight with underworld
life. PRICE: 12 €
AGNIVOLOK: CHERRIES (The Eastern Front) CD
Entirely beautiful folk songs, once in a while anguish and hopeless, carry a sprit of cold,
snowy and forgotten spaces. Mysterious vocals, bewitching melodies and musical
instruments conveyed from parallel worlds... The album was planned to be released on a
few years ago under the original title "Cherries for the Golden Skull". PRICE: 12 €
AGNIVOLOK: SCULPTOR (The Eastern Front) CD
Re-release of Agnivolok’s debut album, originally released on LP by StateArt, now on CD
with the bonus track "Angels". Ukrainian-exile band Agnivolok compels us to discover a
new world of musical meltdown and takes traditional music into new dimensions.PRICE:
12 €
AHASVERUS: EVOCATION (Ahasverus) CD-R
At the turn of the century 1900, the western civilisation was spreading its wings over the
world, colonizing, baptising and oppressing other cultural expressions. One of the most
significant manifestations of this era, is the archaeological excavations and explorations in
Mesopotamia, Mesoamerica and Egypt. Professors, adventurers and other explorers of the
romantic spirit of the times haunted monuments and grave chambers in their task to steal
as much as possible to bring home to the safe western enlightened civilisation. Whole
monuments and temples were taken in parts, shipped over thousands of kilometers and
reassembled in European capitals, where austere authorities proudly announced their
gratitude. These white-bearded men in dark costumes are personifications of a schizofrenia
that distinguish that time. They are both bandits and saviours. This is a sister-work of Ten
is the number, produced parallel with partly the same material, but with oppositional
methods. Where "Ten is the number" is structural, calculated and abstract, "Evocation" is
sensitive, expressive and narrative. PRICE: 8 €
3
AIDAN BAKER: AN INTRICATE COURSE OF DECEPTION (.Angle.Rec.) CD
Aidan Baker's natural ease and tendency to deconstruct and reinvent the guitar's syllabus
shows very well on An Intricate Course of Deception... Long shadowy and droney
passages go side by side with tripped-out smooth lo-fi experiments which evoke,
reinterpret and take to a different level the sounds heard in the ethereal, experimental and
ambient field of recent years. Expansive, atmospheric and recursive landscapes are
enchanced with evolving bursts of well-dosed noisy interruptions, prefectly in line with
the overall experience of the whole soundtrack. PRICE: 10 €
AIDAN BAKER: EXOSKELETON HEART (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
Following up his amazing Periodic disc that was issued through Crucial Bliss two years
ago, acclaimed Toronto drone-guitarist Aidan Baker is back with Exoskeleton Heart, his
newest entry into our ongoing Crucial Bliss series. And this 2-track, hour long excursion
into deep feedback bliss is stunningly beautiful. Split into two halves, "Interior" and
"Anterior", Baker once again taps into his visions of the bodycage using only his electric
guitar, performed and recorded live; the result is an evocative feedback-heavy dronescape
drifting with the gritty hum of the amplifier, layers of shimmering, chiming feedback,
crushing distorted ambient dirge that borders on Sunn O)))-levels of sonic weight, and
shafts of elegiac melody breaking through the stormclouds of Baker's cavernous rumbling
like rays of sunlight. Aidan Baker is without question the North American counterpart to
the Tuetonic guitar drones of Troum, and Exoskeleton Heart delivers some of his most
massive, meditative, crushing, and beautiful subterranean drift yet. Hell, the final 10
minutes of "Anterior" is without questions one of the most beautiful things we have ever
presented through this label, an angelic glacial melody that builds inexorably into a wall of
blissed out fuzz a la something you'd expect from Aidan's dronesludge band Nadja.
Essential. The disc comes in a full-color signature Crucial Bliss foldover sleeve with the
disc affixed to a plastic hub on the interior of the sleeve, and has been pressed in a limited
edition of 300 copies. PRICE: 8 €
ALAN LAMB: NIGHT PASSAGE (Dorobo) CD

PRICE: 12 €
ALASEHIR: THE STONE SENTINELS (Archive CD) CD
3 tracks spawned from a night of riffs and jams at Lemur house from Bardo brothers on
dual guitars and current Bardo drummer Jason. Heavy psych that sways a little closer to
the Sabbath side of jams then the normal Bardo Pond burn. Also features Igler on
electronics on 2 of the 3 jams. Single pressing of 600 PRICE: 12 €
ALEXEI BORISOV + KK NULL: XENOGLOSSIA (Insofar Vapor Bulk) CD
This is a wise pairing between the two completely versatile and experienced electronic
manipulators. There are a host of totally warped sounds like I?ve never heard from either
KK Null or Alexei Borsov. Sticky electronic pitter-patter leads way to tinkling sine tones
and cryptic foreign terrain. When they integrate some guy mumbling, it truly sends me
back to the seminal sound of lost souls that became Throbbing Gristle. But this is not alldark cerebral jargon, there is a lighter, almost frustrated techno lurking just below the
surface. Slim cardboard sleeve with artwork by KK Null. PRICE: 12 €
ALGOL: DEEP THOUGHTS ABOUT UNIVERSE (Cold Graey) CD-R
Beautiful ambient with new age influences. Space thematics. We are all living in a definite
physical space and time, but we have an amazing gift, that must not be left out! Mentally,
we can broaden the borders of reality by Imagination. I feel myself trapped in a cage
between two lions, the first one is eternity of Macro- and the second is chaos of Microworld. But if you close your eyes, cast aside all your useful thoughts, and join a mindflight
with me, you will be able to explore new unknown horizons and see other worlds. Use &
develop your imagination thoroughly for it’s the most important sense that We possess as
human beings. We can not fight against Time, but nevertheless, we can play with it using
our Minds! PRICE: 8 €
ALIO DIE: SUSPENDED FEATHERS (Silentes) CD
Another great reissue, "Silentes" is one of the better known works from dark ambient
supremo Alio Die. This Edition comes with totally new artwork, with 5 long tracks (
including one collaboration each with Vidna Obmana ) Still sounding fresh - this is a real
ambient masterpiece, and a must for fans of the genre. PRICE: 12 €
ALIO DIE THE FLIGHT OF REAL IMAGE (Faria) CD
This is re-released of old MCD (22 minutes) which has been released in 1993 limited
edition of 1000 copies and sold out several years ago. Happy to present a full version of
this great album, 79 minutes. Classical sound of the maestro is harmoniously combined
with his new experiments with a zither, flutes, bells and many others. Album comes with
five insert cards made by an Italian painter, Sara Luciani. These artworks are an integral
part of the concept of an album. PRICE: 12 €
ALIO DIE & SAFFRON WOOD: CELEBRANDO LE MESSI (Hic Sunt Leones) CD
Seminal experiments in coloured harmonics and enchanted depths. This release includes
some very relaxing ambient tracks playing with nipped and scrubbed chords utilising
salterio, zither, marimba and field recordings, improvisation and recording in the open
spaces of inner Liguria's mountains. A great release for those with an appreciation of
gentle ethno-ambient. PRICE: 12 €
ALTAI ASHRAM: MANTRA (Fight Muzik) CD
Probably the most insane release on Fight Muzik: live recording of occult rite from Altai
Ashram sect. This sect is well-known in the world and presented in 40 countries, including
Mexico, USA, Spain and France.Great Altai Kagan Khum, the supreme priest of this
mystic congregation, conducts psychoactive seances with His progeny. He uses narrations,
recitations of mystic formulas by very strange voices and plays lot of musical instruments.
The content of this release is really unique and I couldn't compare it with any other album
despite I'm already 10 years in such music. Very powerful & tight ethnoritual soundings
filled with psychedelia and trances... PRICE: 13 €
ALUMINUM NOISE: OUTNUMBERED AND FATIGUED: ROMANTIC MUSIC
(Mechanoise Labs) CD-R
Outnumbered and Fatigued is a personal journey through sound, whetever lush, lo-fi or
openly noisy. Meet the People of the Volcano, contemplate their Secret Temple, face your
wandering dreams and nightmares in aural swamps, and then finally stumble down for the
Small Death. As the last murmurs gradually fade like the colors on a old photograph, time
has only left two things for us : memories and emotions. PRICE: 8 €
AL-WAHAAR DHIN: THE THIRD POWER OF ALFA (Fluttering Dragon) CD
With this first album Al-Wahaar Dhin delivers a cultural holocaust that goes way beyond
what previously has been released on Fluttering Dragon. Al-Waahar Dhin combines voices
from the Old World with programmed up-tempo rhythmic mantras of today. The rhythmic
mantras contain static as well as various rhythmical structural changes that keep
momentum and flow throughout music. Besides the rhythmic mantras the main musical
skeleton consist of voice samples originating from people citing the Koran. "The Third
Power of Alfta" delivers 57 minutes of pounding rhythms that create a trance evil ambient
vibe, which is pleasing to the ear but frightening to the mind. PRICE: 12 €
AMES SANGLANTES: FINAL LIBERATION (Kriegshurst) CD-R
Brutal Canadian act, whom some of you will know from their work with Napalmed and
NothingIstTrue. Harsh noise and Power Electronics – not for the faint-hearted! Comes in
oversized gatefold pack with insert and very gristly artwork – you’ve been warned!
Limited to just 100 copies on this French underground label. PRICE:8€
ANDREI SUCHILIN: IKI (RAIG) CD
In the past ten years Andrei Suchilin has scored for the images of many Russian
underground film-directors. Featuring three dark and brooding collage-pieces with lots of
artful quotations, this is not easily categorized. Over ten musicians of various background
got involved in making this recording. The music evokes a variety of soundscapes, found
noises, classical miniatures, and rocky grooves. It flows with the imaginary movie-action,
reflecting the intensity of the images yet doesn't overpower them. PRICE: 9 €
ANEMONE TUBE: EXISTENCE (Auf Abwegen) CD
'Existence' is an interesting mix between rumbling noise and floating ambience. Anemone
Tube was founded in Summer of 1996 by Stefan Hanser who felt the urge to express
deeper personal feelings and dreams. The audioworks from Anemone Tube vary a lot
along with the different means Stefan Hanser uses as sound source and for manipulation
and could easiest be described as industrial-, ambient- and noisescapes of organic and
synthetic sounds. The use of constantly shifting and altering sounds and moods is possibly
one of the most intruiging things about the audio creations of Anemone Tube with the
purpose of trying to put the listener into a delirious mental state, to irritate, torment and
caress him no matter if in a positive or negative way. PRICE: 12 €
ANTONIO TESTA: INFRAMUNDIS (Faria) CD
Inframundis (inland universe, latin) is a research of stalagmites and stalagtites sounds
mixed with textures and drones; It’s a meditative record and it creates a balance between
biosphere and technosphere. The cd gets free all its energies, its little/big sounds, its
hidden atmospheres, and microharmonies. The sounds, music, make us come back to the
past, offering us the view of a World. The sound evokes angelical moments between the
imperceptible evolution of the sound of the sky and the ethnic roots, natural instrumental
sounds creating atmospheres which evoke in our imaginary visions and images of the most
far places. It is an alchemic project of ancestral sounds. Deeply rooted in our unconscious.
PRICE: 12 €
ANTRACOT/FLUTWACHT: SPLIT (Apocalyptic Radio) CD-R
Great split album between Antracot (5 tracks) and Flutwacht (4 tracks). Presents material
varying from harsh, old school industrial to noise and power electronics. PRICE: 8 €
APOPTOSE: NORDLAND (Tesco) CD
This is the first release of a German artist, who was inspired by the ancient order of the
megalitic graves. A beautiful journey in the northern past, using drums and orchestral
soundcapes which are of an ancient beauty. Subliminal drones lead to longforgotten
rituals. The CD comes in a beautiful embossed digipack and reflects the theme in its full
detailed uniqueness.. PRICE: 12 €
ARALLU: THE DEMON FROM THE ANCIENT WORLD (Epidemie) CD
ARALLU first met in Israeli Jerusalem in 1997. They formed with intention to perform
Mesopotamian barbarian black metal. After their debut album “The War on the Wailing
Wall” (The End Records) and following second one called “Satanic War in Jerusalem”
(Raven Music), they grounded in Czech label anchor of Epidemie Records, where third
album “The Demon from the Ancient World” is. Get ready for Mesopotamian middleeastern barbarian black metal with Arabic rhythms, atmosphere of the desert and
influences of old thrash bands from 80ties which is hardly to overhear. The life in Israel
brings a whole lot of inspiration to ARALLU as same as ancient Mesopotamian culture

ARC: ARKHANGELSK (Epidemie) CD
ARC is a Canadian trio (Aidan Baker - guitars, flutes, tapeloops, Richard Baker - drumkit,
percussion, & Christopher Kukiel - percussion) playing tribal guitar drone ambient with
psychedelic and post – rock elements and very hypnotic sound. Their brand new album

4
Arkhangelsk was recorded in Toronto, Canada in December 2007 in two separate sessions.
The first consisted of improvisational performances on drumset and guitar and the second
consisted of layering percussion, electronics, and woodwind tracks on those original
drum/guitar tracks. Both sessions were done in real-time in single takes with a minimum
of post-production editing or manipulation in an effort to capture the spontaneity of the
performances. As such, Arkhangelsk maintains the typical ARC sound while
simultaneously exploring more adventurous poly-rhythms and textures, combining
influence / inspiration from such artists as Flyer Saucer Attack, The Boredoms, Tribes of
Neurot, and Rapoon. PRICE: 12 €

ARC: THE CIRCLE IS NOT ROUND (Small Voices) CD
ARC formed spontaneously in 2000 at a performance at The Ambient Ping, Toronto's
long-running live ambient/experimental music series. ARC is a trio of Aidan Baker
(guitars, flutes, tapeloops), Richard Baker (drumkit, percussion), & Christopher Kukiel
(percussion). Their music is a mixture of Popul Vuh acoustic compositions, Pink Floyd's
Ummagumma era, Voice of Eye or Subarachnoid Space..., with dense and organic drones
and hypnotic ethnic rhythms. ARC's sound is centred on the melodic loops, textures, &
samples provided by heavily-effected guitar & other melodic instruments. This is overlaid
with tribal-esque rhythms provided by various percussive instruments; drum kit, djembe,
tabla, wood blocks, etc. With this combination, they create a roiling tapestry of both
rhythmic & ambient sound, a sound simulataneously prim(ev)al & avant-garde. ARC,
regular performers in Toronto and Montreal, have released a number of cdr releases on
such labels as Piehead Records, Worthy Records, and their own label Arcolepsy Records.
Their release "The Circle is Not Round" with Italy's label A SILENT PLACE is their
debut CD release. PRICE: 12 €

ARCHON SATANI: MIND OF FLESH & BONES (Cold Spring) CD
The classic Archon Satani album, out of print for over a decade, remastered and
repackaged! Archon Satani are one of the founding voices of Death Industrial - with their
unique style being emulated to this day. The Swedish duo of Mikael Stravöstrand (Inanna,
Mitek) and Tomas Petersson (Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio) create claustrophobic, ritualistic,
menacing anthems - now unleashed onto a new generation. The Archon Satani project
finished with the Cold Spring releases "The Rightous Way To Completion" (CD) and "The
Final Completion" (10" picture disc) in 1997. PRICE: 12 €
ARDITI: MARCHING ON TO VICTORY (Equilibrium Music) CD
The original release of "Marching on to Victory" dates back to 2003, with a small pressing
of 1000 copies on the obscure Swedish label Svartvintras. The legacy that one half of the
project brought from his work with Puissance was fairly evident, yet the focus on his work
as Arditi was not so much beautifuly orchestrated narrations of the apocalypse, but far
grimmer depictions of the past centuries world conflicts. Field recordings and blurry
speeches were incorporated into Arditi's compositions, adding a rather disturbing tone to
the predominant military snare-drums, obscure symphonic arrangements and hypnotic
soundscapes. The suffocating combination between martial classical arrangements and
somber atmospheres would set Arditi's debut album as one of the bleakest releases on the
Militaristic Neo-Classical movement that was starting to flourish at the time. "Marching
on to Victory" is now made available again, in a deluxe Digipak release featuring 2 bonus
tracks. PRICE: 12 €
ARDITI: OMNE ENSIS IMPERA (Equilibrium Music) CD
“Omne Ensis Impera” introduces an additional strength to Arditi’s compositions - epic
orchestral loops and thunderous percussions are granted a more prominent role, stirring the
damp and suffocating ambiance that the duo have always produced so well. The highly
anticipated new album by the Swedish duo is finally upon us, under the title "Omne Ensis
Impera". The sense of determination that echoes through their music and which has
brought them to the forefront of Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has stayed
untouched, evoking the sense of duty and commitment that Italy's WWI elite storm troops,
from which the name Arditi originated, were known for.
Similarly, shades of the Italian Futuristic movement of the early XXth century, which
served as inspiration in the early days of the project, remain imprinted in Arditi's work "Omne Ensis Impera" could well be a modern interpretation of the Futurist's goal of
glorifying warfare to an artistic expression beyond its inherent violence and intrinsic sense
of heroism. PRICE: 12 €
ARDITI: STANDARDS OF TRIUMPH (Equilibrium Music) CD
Tapping further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance, Arditi
present their strongest effort so far, with their ever effective use of crushing orchestrations
and evocative speeches. Spearheaded by H. Möller and M. Björkman, Arditi's first
recordings came to light in 1997, inspired by the Italian Futurist Movement of the early
20th century. Boasting the unique personality of this Swedish combo, "Standards of
Triumph" taps further into the darker tones of Militaristic Neo-Classical ambiance that has
become the band's trademark, resulting in their strongest effort so far - ever effective in
their use of crushing orchestrations and evocative speeches, Arditi hereby drags the
listener around muddy trenches, leaving aside overly pompous festive marches or alcohol
fueled merry bunker songs which seem to have become the norm as of late, and casting an
hypnotizing veil over the turmoil of warfare-inspired Industrial soundscapes. PRICE: 12 €
ARMENIA / CELESTIAL PLENITUDE: SPLIT (Isolated Society) CD-R

Split of two exponents of murky sounds. Well known from dark ambient labels project
ATUM in cooperation with american dark project ROTO VISAGE created over 40
minutes disc which presents heavy and funeral (gloomy?)dark ambient as title syndrome.
Cotard’s syndrome - People with Cotard's Syndrome believe that they do not exist.
Cotard's sufferers complains of having lost everything: possessions, part of or entire body,
often believing that he or she has died and is a walking corpse. Paradoxically, being
"dead" often gives the patient the nation of being immortal. This form of depressive
disorder was described by psychiatrist, Jules Cotard, in 1880. Unconventional release format 13 x 15 cm, cover printed on cardboard. All together is composed of two separate
telescopic pieces. First piece is a printed wrapper. CD is held by a rubber ring. All together

AUBE: HOWLING OBSESSION (Manifold Records) CD
More fittingly titled 'Howling Obsession Revised' as this existed previously as a limited 20
copy CDR edition from the Newsonic label. The material on that release was so good that
it seemed a shame to keep all but twenty people from ever hearing it and this includes tons
of extra material, namely Howling Obsession Performed live. The mix of volumes, nosie,
ambient and patterned structures is remarkable here. For solid stretches you'll hit that
moment of transfixion that really good Aube or Lull work can facilitate, where that one
dark ear you have focuses on the depths within the sound, trying to puzzle it out, watching
the pieces move and weave and change in unusual formations. Powerful stuff. Dark,
heavy, noisy walls of reverbrating sonics. Monstrous worlds of hammer-heavy noise
ambient building into chilled landscapes. One of the most intriguing "loud" Aube works
one will ever hear. Packaged in conventional jewel box with artwork by Akifumi
Nakajima. PRICE: 9 €
AUBE: LE SYNDROME AQUATIQUE (Silentes) 2 CD
This is the long awaited reissue of one of the best Aube’s work originally titled AQUA
SYNDROME, published about 10 years ago by MANIFOLD records. The new reissue
included the original album with a bonus track and a bonus live CD. LE SYNDROME
AQUATIQUE is an impressive job of deconstruction and resetting of sonorous material to
work of Aube, this particularly extended in the duration, treaty and expanded time, much
to be proposed in a rich edition in double CD. Through sophisticated and very tested
technical of sonorous rework assembled in years of untiring activity in a searching
experience, Aube puts molding on and models fragments of concrete sounds of "aquatic"
derivation transforming them in unknown drones, noises, pads, loops rhythms -mechanics,
constructing a fantastic sonorous tapestry of valuable invoice and incredible impact, and
unavoidably bringing back to the memory the first three CD constructed with single water
sounds of the monumental one box of 12 CD " proudly published from Amplexus in 2000.
One new unforgettable work for all those who love, and has loved, the avant-guard-istic
sonorous experimentations of large the great Japanese master.

AUBE: METAL ON METAL (Silentes) 2 CD

the possible technological manipulations on the sounds that are possible to pull out... It

of cymbals, plates, rings... that tubular elements are used or more ordinary and simple
metallic objects of common use... that they are bowed or scraped..., Aube acquires the

complex wafts, resounding weaves carpets, interlaces thin threads of metallic tensions,

drones... "Metal on Metal", two only, fantastic CD for and a matchless release. PRICE:15€

AUTODIDACT CHINESE GIRLS (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
The latest full length from Texan dronerock/disharmonic sludge pop project
AUTODIDACT. Waves of chiming discordant guitars and spare glacial beats surge

influence is again strong here, but as if that band reformed in an overheated basement
somewhere down south, trying to rewrite PIXIES tunes with a battered, beersoaked drum

BAD SECTOR + TOMMASO LISA: RESET / REBIS PERIFERICHE (Old Europa
Cafe) CD + BOOK
For this release Massimo Magrini was Joined by the Italian Cyberzone-Writer Tommaso
Lisa! So the album was recorded using as conceptual reference Tom's "neuro-poems"
collection REBIS. Short spoken fragments of the texts are treated and inserted in a sonic
structure built with minimal, strangely sincopated pseudo-rytmhs and sharp pulsing noises.
The effect of those spcken texts is really disqieting, a very severe & obscure release,
different from all previous Bad Sector albums! In the background, Bad Sector's trademark
chilling micro-melodies completes an upsetting, allucinated but crude vision of our
"Collapsing Civilization". Try this album & "Reset" your "Weltanschauung"! The Cd will
be packed inside a book cover, the book contains Tom's Cyber-poetry plus a series of
graphic designs Special edition : 300 numbered copies CD + Book with aditional MCD.

BALTIC FLOUR MILLS: S/T (Autarkeia) CD-R
Now "Baltic Flour Mills" is a well known and modern art gallery in London. But it wasn't
in 1997 when Darius Ciuta, the member of legendary Lithuanian noise project NAJ and
Arturas Raila, a well known video artist, a present gallery "Baltic Flour Mills" was a
forgotten and old mill. Millions of rats ruled the place. In order to get into mill premises,
visitors had to sign a pact, which declared non-responsibility for possible accidents. So, in
1997 two artists equipped with special recording devices went to an dangerous trip
through the mill in order to record strange air waves and sounds of huge mechanisms.
Later in a radio studio, from the collected samples from the mill, "Baltic Flour Mills"
record was created. It consists of two long tracks. In those tracks listeners can hear cold
and urban "ambient" that sometimes is enriched with special "noise" elements. Music
construction methods remind of NAJ album "Resituation" from the PURE series incoming city sounds, filtrated through mill concrete walls and metal mechanisms can be
heard. The background is fulfilled with children, which were never in that mill, cries and
sounds of opening the doors, which were locked for years. Album mood towards the end
of it is getting more and more worried. Recordings create a grey and paleness sense of the
surrounding world. It reminds us that one day, now the fine gallery, will become what it
was a long before - a pale ghost in a dark London and instead of the slogan on the walls "Baltic Flour Mills", only "Alt Our Ills" will remain. PRICE: 10 €
BARADELAN: LANGE VOR DALEM (Tosom) CD-R
Another great work by this fantastic german project. Well known from his wonderful,
profoundly and intensely soundscapes. Recorded in 2002 and remastered in 2004....Visit
your ancestors travelling on drones... A soundtrack for visiting megalithic sites based on
field-recordings from ancient chambers, stone circles and pre-historic locations.PRICE:7€
BARARUM: DANU'S REBIRTH (OMS Records) CD-R
A longly anticipated album "the Danu's Rebith" by "Bararum" project that is just out of
production strives to traditions of neofolk sounding. The basic theme of the album is taken
from Nik Perumov's novel "the Diamond sword / the wooden sword", whose magical but
realistic and bright images have been Strakhinya's and Skryling's inspiration in their rather
successful attempt to reconstruct unique atmosphere of the elven, human and gnomes
world. And, certainly, wonderful music tells about strange and miraculous people of Danu,
about young emperor's way and his unusual love to a girl of Danu. Unprepared listener
may find the album a little bit complex to understand - the absence of a vocal, flying fifes
tempo, unordinary fiddle parties make compositions really swift and versatile. Produced
style of music appears to be quite unique,since the fundamental ideas of compositions are
delivered through nonclassical musical tools. It is neither a pseudo-celtic folk nor slavic
tunes,in general this music is rather indirectly connected with national one, but it is a
certain alloy of new pseudo-ethnic melodies and the modern approach of music creation.
Fifty minutes of sound represent 10 themes, all united by the basic idea and perceived on
uniform breath. Each composition tells about the certain episode or the hero of the book.
Package - pro-printed black cardboard envelope with silver printings. Total time - 48+
min. First run ltd. ed. to 99 handnumbered copies. PRICE: 6 €
BARDOSENETICCUBE: BAD HEAVEN (Ostroga) CD

colour an envelope with the image of the icon found in old Ural village, burnt inserts, 222
copies. PRICE: 8 €
BARDOSENETICCUBE: DEADHEAD (Aquarellist) CD
New album of Bardoseneticcube is the whole surrealistic musical performance which is
impossible to squeeze into the boundaries of any genre. Six untitled pieces reveal the
labyrynth of sonic cobwebs born in the depths of subconscious mind of Igor Potsukailo
and his brothers in arms (several guest musicians took part in recording sessions - two
guitarists, saxophonist, etc.). The basis for the most tracks is formed by the hybryd of
orchestral-ethno-electronic rhythmics and it's layered over with melodic lines walking
from composition to composition and completely unexpected samples hardly rationally
coordinated with musical context. For sure, this time Igor's talent has beaten all the
stylistical limitations - the album sounds very organic and energetic. PRICE: 12 €
BARDOSENETICCUBE: NAEGLERIA FOWLERY (Blade Records) CD

BARDOSENETICCUBE + NOISES OF RUSSIA: NEW ORTHODOX LINE (Some
Place Else) CD
New Orthodox Line brings together two of the most notable Russian post-industrial /
experimental groups: Bardoseneticcube and Noises of Russia. This unique collaboration
stirs the best of both artists to surface, and results in an extremely powerful and intense
emotional experience. The opus travels from sacral soundscapes of orthodox choirs and
church bells to a more punishing end of the sonic spectrum provided by pounding rhythms
and howling feedback. Here, the opposites unite with passion and compliment each other
for the sake of the greater good, the synergetic New Orthodox Line. PRICE: 12 €

BARDOSENETICCUBE: XXX (Aquarellist) CD
New Bardoseneticcube album is inspired by life and works of Nika Turbina - a poetess
who started to write grown-up tragic poems when she was only 4 years old. "This is not
me writing, this is God leading my hand", - the small girl used to say. First Nika's book of
poems came out when she was only 9, and was later translated in 12 languages. After
living pathologically strange life, receiving the most prestigious poetic prize "Golden
Lion", and being held in mental hospital, at the age of 27 Nika tragically died falling down
from the 5th floor window. The musical dedication of Bardoseneticcube is presented in 12
untitled tracks filled with surrealistic feelings and some childish morbidity. Obscure loops
and industrial soundscapes are buried under a pile of rhyme wreckage, melody fragments
and almost chaotic manifold of strange sounds. PRICE: 12 €

defying listening experience – an album which transcends technological and fashion
trends. During that period, Adar began specializing in sound and music design for videoart, cinema and television soundtracks. "Beaufort" is Adar's second motion picture
soundtrack. A dark and gloomy affair that hybrids between processed digital sounds, warm
ambient scapes & light touches of 70's Progressive Rock. For Fans of Philip Jack,

BESTIA CENTAURI: ERATOGENESIS (Eibon) CD
Sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and the extra-human.
With the new release, Bestia Centauri defies once and for all the persistent
mischaracterizations of its sound as belonging to the "Dark Ambient ghetto".
Electroacoustic and computer music elements come brazenly to the foreground, and
contribute even more so to the flow of "crawling chaos" that has always characterized and
inspired Bestia Centauri’s compositions. The genesis and development of a monstrosity is
the theme of this new work, which charts a course from mutated unicellular sonic DNA to
the resultant life-form that reaches "from the jaws of the dragon, from the depths of the
abyss". PRICE: 12 €
BIG CITY ORCHESTRE: MOISTURE (Reduktive Musiken) CD-R
BCO: "Moisture is based on our 2001 trip to europe. While Rob and Russ helped record

and radio 100. in amsterdam.(the night of sept 11th.) The remaining bits were taken from
Phil, Nina and Das playing in our camper on the river banks in Nijmegen. And the
obligitory sound effects (tracks 8-27) consist of the channel ferry, a tesco in northampton,

BISCLAVERET: PSYCHE NOMINE (The Eastern Front) CD
Bisclaveret - A Polish dark ambient/dark wave duo presents its album Psyche noMine. It
took two years to conceive, resulting in 6 songs (clocking at around 53 minutes).
Musically, it's a piece for those interested in moving, yet extraordinary art. Lush strings,
industrial rhythms and even noise tones at times summarize the background for Dragos'
voice coming from the other, subconscious side of his mind. Lyrically, it's a conceptalbum of sorts. All the lyrics deal with human sub consciousness. The words on 'Psyche
noMine' shows a man entangled in the arcane of the world, somebody who does not notice
phenomena around him. The man whose recklessness or even arrogance so natural for him
is the cause for him being lost in the surrounding reality. The album's ambiguous title
suggests what receivers will deal with when listening to new Bisclaveret album. PRICE:

BJERGA / IVERSEN: BURNING LIQUID RUBBER METAL (Abgurd) CD-R
Dense and raw Harsh Drone Ambient. This is a pretty unusual album for these norsk
experimentalists. It reminds of YAO 91404 D and MAEROR TRI at the same time. Acute
feedbacks, sullen guitar loops and solid background of electronic hum and radionoise
crepitation. PRICE: 6 €

TRINITY OF NON-BEING (Autumn Wind Prod.) CD
The Trinity of Non Being focuses and reifies, the manifestation of non manifestation,

begun. PRICE: 12 €
BLACK SUN PRODUCTIONS: CHEMISM (Old Europa Cafe) CD
Black Sun Productions' new album for Old Evropa Cafe consists of 14 tracks of tribal
electronica and it stands as the most rhythmic output to date coming from Massimo &
Pierce and their fellow Children of the Black Sun. The wooden sound of the marimba in
combination with flutes and drums merging with very European sounding violins will
reveal to the listener a new and pleasantly suprising attitude in musick-making of this
collective of sound artists. The mutating precision of Pierce’s electronics is here
counterpointed by Massimo's sonorous, deep vocals. Eschewing the melancholy of the
double disc The Impossibility of Silence, Black Sun Productions seems to have moved
with CHEMISM into an electronic semi-operatic mode. Some of the album's tracks were
written and performed in collaboration with draZen and Bahntier. CHEMISM features Val
Denham and Ariot Fleischmann on additional vocals, Roman Hollenstein on drums and
Roberto Budelo on violins. CHEMISM is possibly the most original sonic statement of
Black Sun Productions and it consacrates Massimo & Pierce as a truly eclectic duo of
performers and producers. Coming into a 3 panels digipack fully illustrated by Jacopo
Camagni and Marco Felicioni of Studio Dronio. PRICE: 12 €
BLOOD BOX: THE IRON DREAM (Eibon Records) CD
The gates to an abysmal ocean of drones will open for you. Second full lenght after the
legendary Malignant cd "World of hurt". ......From the far side of the sun... A million miles
away from earth, in the empty vaults of space, where collapsing stars cry and solar winds
blow, BLOOD BOX captures the anxiety of a moaning universe. The chants of a dying
supernova, the sound of a multi-dimensional worm-hole, where gravitational gradients
capture light and turn it into a formless singularity....To the end of night... PRICE: 12 €
BOCKSHOLM: THE HAUNTING CURSE OF SKOGS-SARA (Wrotycz Records)
CD
There is a legend saying that Skogs-Sara lived in the forest called Osterskogen, she got a
virgin born child named Frans Enoch. Soon after the birth three nude gay men arrived,
they had followed the bright iron sign in the sky to the small Skogs-Sara lodge. These
three men gave Frans Enoch the bastard one gift each; black clogs, an orange thermal
Helly Hansen sweater and a box of snuff. Frans Enoch later worked as a cheese producer
but on his spare time he preached that one day there will come two men named Peter
Andersson and then the city of Boxholm will forever be doomed. The citizens of Boxholm
did not believe Frans Enoch, so they crucified him in the forest and let him die alone.
Skogs-Sara went furious and put a curse on the citizens by letting two named Peter
Andersson to be born who would terrorize the citizens for all time with a project called
Bocksholm. The third terror attack by Bocksholm is now here. After two successful
albums on Tesco Organisation and NATO, Bocksholm now turns the root of the problem
with the album "The Haunting Curse of Skogs-Sara". The music is a weird and explosive
experience, it is harder and stranger than ever. It is a psyhological weapon that sneak upon
the victims. The citizens of Boxholm will get fucked - and so will probably you! PRICE:

Inequalities' offers ten original power electronics assaults with violent shouted vocals,
leaving no doubt in the listener's mind that Brethren means every word. Each structured
track on this American power electronics release takes on subjects deemed controversial

perfectly represented by the brutal electronics,thought provoking lyrics and provocative
images.PRICE:12€

Brian_and_Chris create expansive downtempo IDM for people with brains... Actually,
their music is so eclectic that it resists any kind of tidy genre classification, but that's the
closest we could come. PRICE:6€
BROKEN DIODE: SCREAMING ON THE INSIDE (Existest Establishment) CD-R
"Screaming On The Inside is a term I’ve used more than once to describe a suffocating
barrage of trapped emotions and frustrations. Each of the seven tracks here gives a voice to
these feelings. Although initially sounding like a wall of analogue noise and tortured
machinery on the verge of collapse and total breakdown, closer inspection reveals a host
of intricately woven textures. Vocals appear just long enough to inject a human element
into the machine chaos, before being swept away in the flood of frequency destruction,
often torn into ragged shapes which in turn become something less than human. Brief
moments of calm, and by brief I really do mean brief, are punctuated by growling basses
which inevitably become part of something larger and dirtier without losing enough form
to be completely swamped. ... This is a fine, fine piece of work. An almost cathartic
listening experience at times and executed with a vitriolic pride." PRICE: 8 €
CALABI-YAU: COMPACTIFIED (Faria) CD
Calabi-Yau (called in the names of two mathematicians (Eugenio Calabi) and (Shing-Tung
Yau )) spaces may be that microscopic shape, deep inside the hidden dimensions of string
theory. There are many such spaces… According to string theory, space-time isn't 4dimensional as you might expect, but 10-dimensional. Where are the extra six dimensions?
One answer is that they're "compactified": roughly speaking, rolled up into such a small
space as to be unobservable at human scales. PRICE: 12 €
CATACLYST: MONUMENTS OF A RUBICUND AGE (Zhelezobeton / Tantric
Harmonies) CD
A strange project that for a moment united Peter Andersson (raison d'etre) and Johanna
Rosenqvist (ex-Institut, Koeff) in the distant 1992. Cataclyst's music combines the
melancholic beauty of early raison d'etre and Necrophorus, harsh industrial rhythms of
Institut and tribal-elements of another undeservingly forgotten project of Peter - SvastiAyanam... What differs this product from other works of Swedish industrial scene masters
is the atmosphere of remote fairy worlds in which you smoothly sink into while listening
to "Monuments of a Rubicund Age". Peter and Johanna have woven an infinite labyrinth
of mirages, walking through which will be a pleasant surprise for both the fans of ambient
/ experimental / industrial and more conservative gothic lovers. PRICE: 12 €
CHEFKIRK: EFFECTIVE SENTENCES (Deserted Factory) CD-R
Chefkirk, aka Roger Smith, offer here eleven tracks based on rhythmic and noisy
elements. PRICE: 8 €
CHEFKIRK: MEGA CHUFFED (Mask of the Slave) CD-R
chefkirk is Roger H. Smith. Working under the inclusive category of experimental noise,
chefkirk creates distinctive compositions of sound by combining together improvised
drone and harsh electronics forced from a minimal arsenal of glitchy instruments and
feedback loops. Being a socially and politically conscious citizen of the world, chefkirk
illustrates his deep concern and love for all living things through the artwork, titles, and
modest messages on his numerous releases. The whole of his work will unquestionably
carry his personal message loudly: animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use
for entertainment, GO VEGAN! PRICE: 8 €
CHEFKIRK: SELECTION OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTS (Organic Pipeline) CD-R
chefkirk's "Selection of Domestic Products" offers 12 tracks of analog and digital hybrids,

CHRISTIAN RENOU/ANEMONE TUBE: TRANSFERENCE (Auf Abwegen) CD
'Transference' presents material that ranges from dense soundcollage to swirling electrostatic-noise. PRICE: 12 €
CHRISTIAN RENOU & TROUM: DISSOLUTION (Fario) CD
For this record, French artist Christian Renou (ex-Brume) composed some of his most
melodic and textural pieces, four tracks united under the name "Himmelweg" (way to
heaven). Subtle drones and shiny metal chimes join and spread in stretched flashes of
Post-Industrial waves. The whole composition is a wonderful soundscape. After two joint
tracks, (composition by Troum using sounds provided by C. Renou), the German duo
Troum use a ritualistic approach to dive to the core of the strong themes they link to
dissolution: life, suffering and death. All obscure and magmatic, their long piece “INGALEIKON” brings brown flashes from time to time, treated guitar drones exploring the
resources of sadness in their most creative qualities. Comes in over-sized, fold-out
packaging. PRICE:13€
CIRCADIAN: FLANKING THE BLACK MOOSE (Radiotarab / Eibon records) CD
Circadian is a collaborative exploration between Scott Candey of Gruntsplatter and Jason
Walton of Nothing. With this recording they have undertaken the surrealism of small town
life and the curious realities that sometimes take root off the beaten path. The music
represents this by bringing together many peculiar sonic elements that stretch beyond the
material either participant is known for individually. "Flanking The Black Moose" is a
unique study of the eccentric and unobtrusive iniquity that lingers in the ditches of the
back roads of North America. PRICE: 9 €
CIRCULAR: SHAPING THE UNKNOWN (Loki Foundation) CD
This debut defines an opulent style of meditative ambient music and celebrates the pure
sound engines of perfect analogue synthesizer music. Johannes Riedel created an elegant
and stylish form of drone music to build ellipses inbetween sculptures blowing through the
triangular center. These aural paintings uncover sacred landscapes of drifting loops and the
brilliant use of guitars to set up an unearthly visionary wall of sound. Circular's music
disposes a special principle where tracks build up slowly and take the period of
concentration, of taking shape, followed by overwhelming massive soundworlds from
outer states. PRICE: 12 €
CHAOS AS SHELTER: DEAD AIR BROADCASTS (DTA Records) CD
This release combines drones with distroted overtones and hints of blip and glitch.
Grinding mechanical sounds also add to the mix assaulting the ears with brutal yet melodic
power electronic compositions. In addition the album harbors a few tracks that lend
themselves more to the dark ambient side of experimental music with the same source
materials as the above only with less aggression. This would be a great album for anyone
still trying to ease into power electronics, the excellent mixing job allows your ears to hear
all the subtlties across the frequency spectrum. PRICE: 10 €
CISFINITUM: BEZDNA (Monochrome Vision) CD
New album of Moscow-based project Cisfinitum is the experiment in more emotional
rather than in musical domain. Deep and profound, it's touching the most dark corners of
human soul and takes it to the imaginary otherworlds. This peculiar quality of Cisfinitum
music is achieved through extensive use of soviet analogue synthesizers (ANS, Polyvox,
Yunost-21, Formanta amongst others), but the spiritual beauty of "Bezdna" is also created
by violin and omnipresent voices. Psychoactive dark ambient combined with melodic
incantations. PRICE: 12 €
CHAOS AS SHELTER: DAWN SYNDROME (Topheth Prophet) CD
After releasing over 18 releases since 1999, Chaos As Shelter needs no further
introductions. His latest work, dawn syndrome, was recorded in 2001 and is dedicated to
the end of Kali Yuga, the age of iron, which is the final and most negative of four
evolutionary Yugic cycles, the end of the world, and the dawn of a new golden age Sataya Yuga (the age of purity).
Dawn Syndrome is an eight-track composition of ritual dark ambient crafted in the skillful
way Chaos as Shelter is known for. The usage of organic and artificial sound sources
which has been his trademark. It is a hymn of submersion and rebirth, of confusion,
ambiguity and enigma, of the darkest moment before sunrise. PRICE: 12 €
CISFINITUM: TACTIO (Mechanoise Labs) CD
Tactio is the live recording of a Cisfinitum concert at the St. Petri Dom (St. Peter's
Cathedral) in Bremen, on November 24, 2005. The particular (and as expected highly
favorable) acoustics of this environment were consistently used not only as an enhancing
effect but as an integral foundation for the performance, making it unmistakably tied to its
context. Presented in the form of six continuous tracks, the album is a contemplative
composition of vibrant drones, reverberating bells and synthesized resonance, gracefully
evolving from the celestial tones of its start to the tellurian pulses of its climax. This is a
piece of work that is elaborate in its simplicity, and it's with much appreciation that it is
presented here today. The beautiful iconic artwork by Evgeny Kuprienko further
emphasizes the relic-like qualities of this recording. PRICE: 12 €
CHAOS AS SHELTER / THE HOLLOWING: HEAVENLY LETTER (Mechanoise
Labs) CD-R
Appearing at times of despair and plagues across Europe, the flagellants believed in
punishing themselves in the hope that God would not. Their processions of selfflagellation lasted 33½ days, matching the number of years in Christ’s life, and served as
penance for their sins and those of others.
The Heavenly Letter refers to the text that they believed was a direct ultimatum from God
himself: humanity, failed and corrupt, had one last chance at reform before the destruction
of all life. Denounced as heretics by the Church, they were persecuted and driven
underground. During the Black Death in 1348, the same letter reappeared with an added
paragraph that addressed the plague, and became the manifesto of a reborn flagellant
movement. As times went on and the world didn't end as expected, enthusiasm for selfscourging waned and the movement dispersed. PRICE: 8 €
CHILD PATROL: COME NOW LITTLE ONES (Mal'occhio) CD-R
'Come Now Little Ones' is the first release of Amsterdam based Mal'occhio label. The
debut album of Child Patrol present material varying from dense and harsh noise to
feedback walls and monotonous mechanical structures. PRICE: 8 €
CISFINITUM: V (Waystyx Records) CD
"V" is the aural extension of audiochemy method developed by both Cisfinitum members
(Voronovsky and Norvila) in Audioform Studio during recent two years, using synthesis
of classical composition, industrial aesthetics and tonal noise layers. Listening to
Cisfinitum music, everyone can feel physically the exclusive aloofness and impartiality
preceding the heterogeneity and time collaps. Long transitions between initial states,
sudden dynamic outbursts and again desolate spaces where apprehensions are the only
way to think. This album is notable not only by background contents but by sounding too:
the deliberately reduced quality is remained in the past, agressive alienation changed to the
introspective one. The atmosphere of sci-fi cinema of the 70-80s is back - cold, dark,
mysterious but nevertheless open-minded and reality engaged. For those of you who like
to use CD-ROM for anything labelled with "compact disc" logo, the nice surprise is
waiting. PRICE: 12 €
CITADEL: GRANITE SKY (Triumvirate) CD
The Final TRIUMVIRATE release. Dense experimental electronics, structured harmonic
resonances, and restrained yet sharply defined use of unconventional rhythms. Marks
somewhat of a transitional phase between the previous harsh ambient/heavy electronics
8
work of LAW, and the future material of CITADEL, both projects of Mitchell Altum.
PRICE: 10 €
CLEAR STREAM TEMPLE: XVI (Cold Spring) CD
Debut album, reissued from the extremely limited and rare CDR, with extra tracks, and

CLOAMA + GELSOMINA: THE DUELLISTS (New Old Sentinel) CD
Uncompromising Northern Darkness. Unhealthy doses of extreme frequencies. Headsplitting fucking noise. Combining extreme noise blasting and oppressive ambient
passages constructed with such vision and skill it'll make you jealous, this might well be
your favourite Harsh Noise/Power Electronics/Death Industrial album of 2006. Hailing
from the fertile underground noise scene of Finland, both Cloama and Gelsomina have
gained strong reputation in the extreme music circles with their praised (and certainly not
without a reason) releases on several labels around the world. PRICE: 10 €
CLONING EXPERIMENT FAILURE: THOUSAND NOISES (Zhelezobeton) CD-R
"Thousand Noises" - their last recording by nowadays - represents the distillation of band's
energy. Very rhythmical, with cracklings of overloaded apparatus, feedbacks and sampled
guitars, it splashes out all the hidden fury of Pskov duet. Undoubtedly, this is not a kind of
music for masses. The album is released as limited edition of 115 hand-numbered CDRcopies in cardboard sleeve with technological film inset (every frame is unique). The
album is completed with two bonus-tracks of remixed songs from the first demos. PRICE:

CO.CASPAR. : OSP LABCOPILATION 2 (Paranoise) CD
This compilation of the Berlin performance artist contains studio works from 98-03. It's a
collection of poetry set to intense noise compositions that sear the imagination like a white
hot brand. With his mechanical 'clang tools' and processed concrete tones co.caspas
creates an impressive metallic soundscape in best industrial tradition. PRICE: 12 €
COIN GUTTER AT PLAY: AMIDST THE STRANGENESS AND CHARM
(Objective-Subjective) 3" CD-R
Chapter III in the Watchmen Series, At Play… is a jarring journey through intelligently
programmed soundscapes, combining all the charm and strangeness that noise, beats,
drone, and glitch have to offer. Moves at a relatively fast, cut-up pace, with the
aforementioned attributes mixed with samples and lots of schizophrenic, shifting layers..
PRICE: 6 €
COLD ELECTRIC FIRE: IN NIGHTS DREAM WE ARE GHOSTS (Crionic Mind)
CD
COLD ELECTRIC FIRE create a deeply personal and unique style of organic Dark
Ambient. Using atypical sources and instrumentation to compose provocative excursions
of contemplation and smoldering atmosphere. Sobering emotions writhe amid a well of
black textures and delicate melodies, congealing into a monumental release of truly
original dark electronics. PRICE: 6 €
COLLOQUIO: SI MUOVE E RIDE (Eibon) CD
Nobody sounds and sings the inadequacy of this life like Gianni does. There's something
more than mere "music" in his records and there's more than simple "poetry" in his words.
I feel I could write for hours about how touching, beautiful and moving COLLOQUIO's
music is, but it is frankly useless. Those who are aware of the stature of this band, will
greatly enjoy. The other ones, well........ PRICE: 12 €
COMBATIVE ALIGNMENT: ...AND OUTSIDE GLOWS THE RED DAWN
(Malignant) CD
Those that peruse the Malignant catalog on a regular basis, should have no trouble
recognizing Combative Alignment, for they’ve been a highly touted fixture since their first
release, the Everlasting Sun 10” on their own label, Avatar. After several releases,
including an LP on LOKI, and a 7” on Eternal Soul, it is with great honor and pride that
we present ’And Outside Glows the Red Dawn’, the first full length CD from this
powerful and visionary German project. And Outside Glows the Red Dawn can perhaps be
seen as Combative Alignment’s benchmark recording, offering 6 tracks that work as a
virtual musical thoroughfare to a more dreamlike, illusory state. Deeply brooding
atmospheres, where omniscient layers of drones and reverberating sound currents meet
measured, ritual percussion as performed under the glowing, gloomy haze of a primordial
sunrise. And Outside Glows the Red Dawn shines a dim light on a world of obscure origin,
full of dark Germanic mysticism and unearthly sonic terrain. On a whole, this is a more
focused, deeper, and fluid recording than you’ve heard before, yet triumphantly carrying
on the tradition laid down by previous releases. PRICE: 12 €
CON-DOM: HOLY BIBLE (Freak Animal) MCD
Con-Dom "Holy Bible" mCD is the latest studio material what was originally to be
released by Tesco Organization, but changed to Freak Animal. Great and unusual power
electronics. No walls of noise, no heavy distorted screech, but innovative and experimental
approach for real power electronics-industrial !
Comes in A5 black cardboard sleeve with silver printing, including lyrics. PRICE: 7 €
CONSCIENTIA PECCATI:CULPA SOMNIORUM (Palace Of Worms) CD
The main theme of the new Conscientia Peccati release are dreams and their influence on
the dreamer. A number of songs address this topic from different points of view. While
"Golden Spider" describes the longing for something one only can have in his dreams,
"Destroyer" tells about the driving forces of dreams. Most songs are purely instrumental,
ranging from middle-age influenced tracks to ritualistic and martial drumming and
experimental ambient-like tracks. Dreaming has often been seen as a semi-magic state.
The messages received in dreams are interpreted by many schools of magick and also
ethnic believes. While dreaming man was supposed to be especially vulnerable to
seduction by demons. All this makes dreams a very well suited topic for the new
Conscientia Peccati release. PRICE: 12 €
CONTAGIOUS ORGASM + TELEPHERIQUE: CROSSES DEEPLY (SSSM) CD
New collaboration between these two reknown acts. A unique mixture of calming
atmospheres, slightly distorted and hypnotic beats (Telepherique), and surreal cut-up
recordings and samples (Contagious Orgasm). Constantly in motion, constantly in flux,
this has tons of layers and subsequently has a mesmerizing effect after awhile. PRICE: 13€
CONTAGIOUS ORGASM + ZYRTAX: DNA LOOPS (SSSM) CD
Mail collaboration project between these two projects, though not being all that familiar
with Zyrtax, so hard for me to say exactly what it is they’re bringing to the table here.
Collagey, surreal, manipulated, moving sound sculptures. Sometimes hypnotic, sometimes
grating, always fresh, always in motion, never boring. In colorful sleeve packaging.
PRICE: 13 €
CONTROL: CONTROL (Black Plagve) CD
The nastiest, meanest, loudest slab of noise from Black Plagve yet. A rising star in the
limited scope of the American p.e. scene (Taint, Slogun), Control will stand out as a
bruiser among bruisers. Massive distortion, monolithic, brain rattling bass, and smasmodic
frequency eruptions lead the charge, with tortured vocals bringing up the back. Add a
gruesome, misogynist perspective and you’ve got a record that reaches a new height in
sickness, slicing easily through gristle and bone to get to the proverbial heart of the
matter.PRICE:12 €
CONTROL THE CLEANSING (Troniks & Pacrec) CD

CONVALESCENT BEFORE SUNRISE (God is Myth) CD-R
This is the debut of a very dark and mysterious project indeed. God is Myth Records is
proud to have Convalescent on board for this excellent release of sheer nihilistic-sounding
dark ambient. Get ready for an album shrouded in bleak mystery and utter darkness. While
this release will surely stand on it's own, it will also please those fans of such acts as
CAUL and our own THE VICTIMS SHUDDER. PRICE: 8 €
CORNUCOPIA: .C. WORKS (The Locus of Assemblage) 2CD
Cornucopia is the premiere sound art project to hail from the island of Puerto Rico.
Claudio Chea and Jorge Castro have recorded numerous drone-a-thons on CDR which
have been released by small labels from New York to Barcelona to Valencia, Le Mans and
Mexico City. "C.works" is their first full length on the CD format, and to celebrate, they
have asked for a little help from their friends. In all, fourteen other artists were asked (and
some even asked in themselves!) to use Cornucopia's 37 minute track ".c." into their own
composition. Two years later, this is the end result. Remixers included: Omei, Needle &
Sony Mao, Lasse Marhaug, Black Sand Desert, RGV, Ultra Milkmaids, David Wells, TV
Pow, duul_drv, Andrew Duke, Kim Cascone, Critikal, Zanstones, & Francisco López..
PRICE: 15 €
CRAWL UNIT VS SILENCE (Manifold Records) CD
Joe Colley as Crawl Unit, creating one of the most "ambient" Crawl Unit works you will
ever hear. World-sized clouds of staticy resonation, clouds of cotton and salt booming
slowly out over the planet. Hammerfalls of texture. Sonic experiments at filling vast
rooms. At times the audio has a sudden and disarming spike, the sort of sound that make
speaker fanatics wince. But it stays just this side of dangerous, serving instead to rattle the
attention, to send an arrow into the heart of whatever trance the tones have put you in. This
is an old Manifold Label release. And it was one that we had a demo cassette of for
literally years. We would put the cassette in and listen for pleasure and then one day
realized "why don't we release this if we like it so much"?. The rest is history. Done in
accordance with the Crawl Unit esthetic that favors low-tech printing and hand-crafted
visuals over gloss. This is the perfect introduction to Crawl Unit, it seems to put a lot of
what Joe Colley's Crawl Unit project is about into a general perspective for the listener.

CROSSBRED: DEAD IN HER DRUM'S RHYTHM (Organic Pipeline) CD-R

DARRIN VERHAGEN:BLACK FROST (Dorobo) CD
If black ice delivered the 'searing pain upon arrival' to the black|mass trilogy, black frost
serves as something of a gently uncomfortable antidote. Bordered by lowercase, delicate
electroacoustic, sinecore and glitch terrain, frost presents material considered, precise yet
modest in tone. Black frost is the 2nd part of the black | mass series. PRICE: 12 €

wild execution of sounds from this Osaka Japanese artist. PRICE:8€
DEAD BEAT PROJECT:BREAKING THE SHELL (Aesthetic Death Records) CD
9 tracks featuring memorable shards of drifting industrial electronica, filtering through a
gush of amnesiac inducing ambience - running parallel alongside Gallic rhythmic
interjections. A reminiscence to the glorious and majestic rhythms of In The Nursery,
Skinny Puppy, Biosphere, The Anti-Group Collaborative, Morthound… “Breaking The
Shell” is a paradox within which time stands motionless. A visit to both the past and the
future - the dark and the light - the twisted and the sincere - the odorous and the beautiful..
Dark ambient neo-classical industrial electronica at its finest - beautiful in its initial
radiance, yet sinister within its obscure shadows. PRICE: 12 €
DEAD MAN’S HILL:LAKES OF SACRIFICE (Bugs Crawling Out of People) CD
Dead Man's Hill represents the pinnacle of the Death Industrial scene, offering a brilliant
blend of militaristic drums, epic orchestrations, and dark sensibilities. Tired of computer
constructed sounds? Bored of standard beats? Had enough of bands following simplistic
formulas, conforming themselves to be clones of the newest trend? Dead Man's Hill defies
these limitations, with a sound that is both classic and renewed; a sound that crosses,
combines, and surpasses the subgenres, resulting in a tour de force of industrial, gothic,
neo-classical and neo-folk. Lakes of Sacrifice is a powerful entity with a horror movie
soundtrack feel; it is classic industrial in the old school way, yet will surprise and reveal
something new to the listening audience. PRICE: 8 €

DEATHPILE:G.R. (Force of Nature / Hospital Productions) CD
After a long silence Deathpile returns with their first official full length release focusing
on the Green River Murders in Seattle from the early 1980ís. Lyrics are written from the
chronological perspective of the killer, exploring key events and balancing truculent
physical situations and aberrant psychological terrain, with terse delivery. Nine tracks of
dense and rushing power electronics and sado-ambient atmospheres. Fierce, verging on
hysterical vocals and well placed and researched audio samples stand above thick and
violent synth beds. By far Deathpile's most cohesive, strong, and obsessive work fine
turned with stark violent force and ritual atmosphere. Not to be missed for fans of sadistic
power electronics! Ten page fold out lyrics insert, and mastering by Scott Hull
(Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Pig destroyer/ ex- Anal Cunt/ Japanese Torture Comedy Hour).
A joint label release between Hospital Productions and Force Of Nature Productions.

DEFRAKTOR:THEMES FOR THE LUNATIC (Trinity Records) CD
Experimental electro, mixing styles from experimental electro wave and industrial, to dark
ambient and field recordings. PRICE: 12 €
DEGENERAL:AFTER THE WORLD (Zhelezobeton) CD-R
Degeneral was formed in the Siberian city of Kemerovo in 2001 and has already recorded
several albums none of which has been issued to present day, so "After the World" can be
called the first official release of the project. The album sounds like a soundtrack to a
mental trip through the lifeless spaces of the world outlived electro-mechanical
apocalypse. First monotonous droning tracks unobtrusively bring listener's perception into
a laid-back and meditative state. But the sound gradually condenses, saturation of sonic
events grows and music takes mechanical features of sinister atmosphere of a desolated
factory working for hundreds of years without human assistance. Thunder of workshops,
buzz of power substations and clanks of unknown mechanisms flow together into united
psy-noise symphony. By the end of the disc anthropomorphical assotiations naturally pale
and give way to abstract cosmic visions, provoked by skilfully combined avalanche-like
noise waves and looped melodic lines. The release is packed into hand-made outer sleeve
made of foil-covered material with sprayed symbol and inner semi-transparent cardboard
sleeve with information notes. PRICE: 8 €
DEISON:DIRTY BLIND VORTEX (Crionic Mind) CD
A fuming miasma of desiccated frequencies and oppressive atmospheres from this Italian
purveyor of Death Industrial & Dark Ambient. "Dirty Blind Vortex" is a cryptic snarl of
emotion and obsession, impulse and lethargy. Features contributions from SSHE RETINA
STIMULANTS, GOVT. ALPHA, BAAL, R.H.Y. YAU, LASSE MARHAUG and more.
PRICE: 7 €
DERNIERE VOLONTE OBÉIR ET MOURIR (Nuit et Brouillard) 2CD
Reissue of the mythical double tape-boxset released by LA NOUVELLE
ALLIANCE/FRANCE in 1998 in a limited and numbered edition of 120 copies (L.N.A.
01). Only 90 were finally edited that time. All original material was entirely remastered
and seven unreleased tracks from the same recording sessions were added for a tolal length
of about 140 mns/28 tracks. Unlike to the recent releases of this French one-man project
"Obéir et Mourir" includes neither any singing nor pop-influences. The sound here is a
great blending of dark ambient soundscapes, militaristic percussion samples and tapevoices taken from World War II’ documentaries. Powerful anthems march in front of
melodic tracks and oppressive atmospheres reflecting perfectly the climate of the 30’s and
of the 40’s made of fury, pain and tears…" "Obéir et mourir" is nothing but an audio and
visual illustration of these dark days...
The two CDs come in cardboard cover with a 14 postcard-set, housed in a deluxe dark
green boxset with embossed front-picture and bronze printings. An essential release.

DES ESSEINTES :LES DIABOLIQUES (Malignant) CD
If Magnus Sundstrom's more well known project The Protagonist is DrJekyll, then his side
project, des Esseintes can certainly be seen as a MrHyde..a more sinister alter ego, bent on
destructive behavior,representing a liberation of the dark side and a more primitive
being,that once freed from the bonds of conscience, becomes harder and harder tocontrol.
And thus, we have des Esseintes. Based on a collection of shortstories by Jean-Barbey
d'Aurevilly, Les Diaboliques is the first fulllength album for des Esseintes, and it's truly a
masterwork.The result is an existentialistic inferno of various musical trash and
harshrhythms, with clanging, mechanized percussion barely cushioned by amenacing
ambience of cinematically styled electronics igniting thebackground. These are dark
regions explored on the six tracks here,populated by stomping behemoths that threaten to
crush with every step,and shards of visceral, dynamic textures that slice across the
proverbialsonic landscape. And while Magnus' work has certainly garneredrecognition,
Les Diaboliques may just solidify him in the lexicon of theindustrial public, or take him to
a whole new level. Greatly appealing tonot only fans of old school greats such as SPK and
Test Dept, but to thosefans of CMI and even some Hands material.. PRICE: 10 €
DES ESSEINTES:MONDO MACABRO (Malignant) CD
A classic example of what’s old is new! With Mondo Macabro, we’ve conveniently
compiled all of your favorite des Esseintes vinyl releases since 2000, remastered them,
boosted them to eye popping levels, and if that weren’t enough, added 3 bonus, unreleased
tracks to top it off! 12 tracks in total, spanning the Muse (2000) and On/Off (2002) 7”s,
the split LP with Magmax (2001), and the split 10” (2001) with Negru Voda. A great
history lesson in the short existence of des Esseintes, each track on each subsequent
release just seems to up the ante, with one track more crushing than the next…. a steady,
doom filled procession of post-apocalyptic, tribal percussion, deadening, jackhammer
rhythms, and dramatic, suspense filled atmospheres. When Armageddon hits, rest assured,
you’ll have your soundtrack. Mandatory!! PRICE: 10 €
DESIDERII MARGINIS: TRIFE (Cold Meat Industry) CD
The new Desiderii Marginis album ’Strife’ is, as the name implies, a sort of reflection over
the rather pityful human desire to engage in all kinds of conflict. Everywhere and always.
There is admittedly a healthy aspect of conflict or competition – the clash of ideas,
ideologies, opinions and the like. But often strife takes the form of mere pointless
destruction for no purpose. That particular lack of meaning is what this album is all about.
’War is a continuation of politics’ von Clausewitz wrote in the 1830’s. But if there’s no
political visions to realize, no higher goal to pursue, no new beginning, no rebirth, then
what? Guns go silent only to discover that nothing has really been accomplished. Old
structures of injustice remain, recent conflicts are added to old ones. Does this sound
depressing? I think it is.
The music on this album is not intended to sound like the blazing guns of a world at war. It
is what it is simply because these kind of thoughts went through my head as the music was
made. I have had no ambition to address any particular issue, I’m definitely not trying to
promote, or badmouth, any political or ideological points of view. Politics are firmly
rooted in the present. Strife itself is eternal. The music is, as always, a strictly personal
way to deal with and express the ever present madness of man. PRICE: 12 €
DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS:CLEAR LIGHT (Public Guilt) CD
Destructo Swarmbots has carved a unique niche for themselves over the past 4 years.
Their live shows consist of chaotic walls of white noise, improvised textures and battered
instruments. Their recordings are delicate, at times meditative, washes of ambience
constructed from countless piles of tortured sounds. Influenced heavily by 200+ needledropped, out of print psyche records, "Clear Light" is their strongest effort yet and the next
step on their journey to artistic isolation. PRICE: 12 €
DESTRUCTO SWARMBOTS:THE MOUNTAIN EP (Public Guilt) 3"CD
A 3" CD packaged in a standard jewel-case, "The Mountain EP" finds DESTRUCTO
SWARMBOTS exploring a more delicate and subtle space than previous releases. The 2
man guitar and bass team, known for it's abrasive sonic attacks, take their layers of
manipulated dissonance and situate them in subtle ambient landscapes. The tracks range
from "36 beautiful songs" which plays like an condensed and intensified version of Fripp
10
and Eno's "An Index of Metals." to the somber "saving grace on an 8 hour connection"
which finds the group delving into more traditional melodic structures. PRICE: 6 €
DEUTSCH NEPAL:DEFLAGRATION OF HELL (Cold Meat Industry) CD
Heavy psychedelic trance-industrial scapes, full of demented beats and distorted guitars.
You can almost feel the left-over vibes from Njurmännen here in some of the tracks, very
rythmic and almost...pop. Previously released as a cassette on the CMI-sidelabel Sound
Source in 1991 and on CD by Staalplaat in 1993 which are now both deleted since years
back. This new version is fully remastered by Peter Andersson. PRICE: 12 €
DIELECTRIC MINIMALIST ALL-STARS:S/T (Dielectric Records) 2CD
The second chapter of the ironically named "all-stars" trilogy. The minimalists all-stars
discs started with an improv session featuring Loren Chasse, Jason Levis and Die
Elektrischen. Disc one was composed by die elektrischen to be both minimalist and
psychedelic. Disc Two reinterprets minimalism in a number of ways by a number of
different artists. These range from Dielectric veterans like Sote (sonic death monkies),
Carson Day, Gerritt and Chris Palmatier to exciting new talent like Arastoo and Aemae.
Provides a fresh interpretation of minimalism. PRICE: 12 €
DIETER MÜH: CARI SALUTI (Functional) CD
This album was organized as a collage, using chance, spontaneity and improvisation to
create texture. Tape manipulation using voices and loops, field recordings of airport
terminals and travelogues and electro-acoustics are multi-layered in a process similar to
carefully controlled masturbation. It is a mix of low-fi/hi-fi, analog and digital with
novelty, special effects and humour juxtaposed with serious, hallucinatory journeys into
darkness. Experimentation within the boundaries of available technology is of paramount
importance, although some may say there is nothing new under the sun, it is fun to play.
Crescendo, power surge, orgasmic release, maelstrom and calm, exhilaration and
liberation, soothing and energizing. The Use of Sound as a Power Tool. There are 4 main
elements to the whole: On reflection the theme of the album seems to be a meshing of the
diametrically opposed ideas of the escape from and embrace of the ordinary. Comes with
Digipak! PRICE: 12 €
DISSECTING TABLE: MEMORIES (Triumvirate) CD

DONIS:VACUUM (Autarkeia) CD
This is not the latest Donis' record. It was recorded in 1997, when Lithuania was still in
deepest electronic music crisis. "Vacuum" had waited seven years for his real live in
personal Donis' archive. The album consists of only one long track, that could be ascribed
to "ambient' stylistics. Tough the sound of album proposes feeling of dark emptiness, it
can not be described as "dark ambient". By it's influence "Vacuum" reminds "Coil's"
ambient works that take you to the psychedelic trip. Extremely low generator vibration in
record doesn't allow the feeling that you're high in the mountains to go out. The air is
being crossed by toneless and icy sound, music motives are deep and sharp. Every stream
of sound will work out as if you, the listener, are in a trip of deep emptiness.
Album lasts for 65 minutes. It’s packed in a special black DVD box. We recommend you
to listen to “Vacuum’ only on Hi-fi stereo. PRICE: 12 €
DOUG THERIAULT & JEPH JERMAN RED: ATER (Fargone Records) CD-R
This disc of gently processed field recordings flows as beautifully as the river on its cover.
Burbling water, birds chirping, and other nasturalistic sounds are only the starting point for
a startlingly pretty composition that incorporates these tiny glimpses of nature into a
widescreen panorama as sweeping and open as the Western landscape. The result of longdistance collaboration, this disc's organic, seamless sound completely belies those origins.
In gorgeous packaging to match, a cardboard gatefold sleeve with photo print by Jeph on
the cover. PRICE: 8 €
DRAPE EXCREMENT:BORROWED TIME (Art Konkret) CD
'Borrowed Time' contains excellent material, which combines elements from deathindustrial to dark ambient. Dark soundwalls are combinded with deep crunchy sounds.
Urban voices create a menacing athmosphere. Dark bass-droning and atmospheric, rattling
and crackling sounds rise and vanish. Slow rhythmics filled with black walls of corroded
atmospheres and ghostly wails and moans. The last three tracks are older and still
unreleased recordings in a more dark power electronics style. A masterpiece of dark
ambience combining hovering sounds with rumbling dark noises. A classic union of
darkness, anger, and power that's a must for death industrial admirers. Punishment never
sounded so good!". Drape Excrement captures sounds of agony and inner torment, of
madness and glorious insanity A release that explores the blackest depths of man's soul.

This disc contains three exquisite new driftworks from ENCOMIAST, entitled Havens.
Formed from vaporous clouds of guitar, gamelan, shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute),
violin, vina, voice, flute, and field recordings, Ross Hagen and Megan Garland have
stretched these sounds into infinite ribbons of metallic shimmer, twisting and swirling into
gorgeous hum. The three tracks on this disc are extended works that range from eleven to
twenty-five minutes in length, and drifts within the angelic regions between Andrew
Chalk's minimalist explorations, the dream music of Troum (and their predecessor, Maeror
Tri), and the bleary melodic smear of My Bloody Valentine. Havens distills the bliss of
deep dreams and early morning haze into captured hymns, and is one of ENCOMIAST's
finest drone offerings to date.Packaged in a hand-assembled, full-color cardsleeve in a
resealable plastic sleeve. Presented in an edition of 250 copies. PRICE: 8 €

minutes of calm, soft electronic Ambient with a touch of oriental-style melodies. The
album takes you to absolute serenity from Beyond. With its marvelous pieces it builds
castles in the air, creates out-worlds, spreads forth yearning for the parallel spaces. PRICE:
12 €
E.P.A.: BLACK ICE (Dorobo) CD
Darrin Verhagen, in tugging on a thread of viciousness which has lain subdued and
understated for most of Shinjuku Thief's backcatalog, was surprised to pull up a 42 minute
slab of sonic violence which is as unmerciful as it is exquisitely crafted. Under his new
power electronics pseudonym 'e.p.a.' we find a finely balanced tension between visceral
chaos and deliberate nastiness.
If all the Shinjuku Thief albums which preceded it suggest the ghostly existence of a dark
world, "black ice" delivers the map, the accelerator and the searing pain upon arrival.
PRICE: 12 €
ERTHAD: GMA (Zhelezobeton) CD-R
Russian project Erthad, originating from Kazan, exists since late 90-ies, but until now still
hasn't made any official releases and preferred to stay in underground, recording music
only for himself and his friends. We have been endeavouring to change this situation for a
long time and now we're glad to present this wonderful disk to your attention. "Gma" was
recorded in 2002 with the use of voice and software noise synthesizers. If one says that the
album's style is called "ambient noise" - is to say almost nothing. The disk has very
specific atmosphere: this is a noise meditation, calm and detached from emotional fuss. An
intuitive electronic pulse synchronizes with brain frequencies, rising and falling waves of
non-aggressive white noise pacify thoughts, and constantly rustling high frequencies when
listened to attentively evoke dissotiative sensation, dissolving perception in the sonic field.
However, everything as always depends on a listener himself. PRICE: 7 €

EXALOT: ANALOGUE FLOWERS (Faria) CD
This music is full of senses of 1980s. It is very analogue in soul and throws listeners into
the star-shining past, making him forget about entering the 21t century. The soundscapes
are created using real old pre-PC computers, analogue synthesizers and handmade effecttracts. The album has a very special, pleasant enchanting sound, full of inner light and
positive emotions, full of harmonies of stars and romantic feeling from analogue past.
Absolutely non commercial music, without any standards and limits. The release includes
conceptual art covers and few cards with digital pictures by Exalot. PRICE: 8 €
EX.ORDER: WAR WITHIN BREATH (Malignant) CD
Compiles the best tracks from the out of print Law of Heresy cassette, live material, and
amazing new tracks. A commanding show of force, War Within Breath moves away from
the more atmospheric elements of the past releases and embarks on a brutal, more
confrontational campaign. Twelve tracks in total, all with a discernable tension and
volatility running throughout, bringing about near-frightening intensities through shifting
zones of frayed, heavy electronics, deadening rhythmic elements, and lurching,
mechanized loops. Swarms of highly charged drones and nauseating, flanged vocals add a
threatening sense of hostility and aggression, growing and strengthening to dynamic,
obliterating proportions. PRICE: 10 €
FABIO ORSI: FIND ELECTRONICA (A Silent Place) CD
"In only two years of work Fabio Orsi has achieved critique and fans, imposing his name
as one of the most promising and representative of the entire Italian independent scene. A
drift began with the excellent vinyl LP "Osci" (SmallVoices 2005), followed by the
famous split CD "For Alan Lomax" (A Silent Place, 2006) together with Italian My Cat is
an Alien and a couple of cooperations with Gianluca Becuzzi: "Muddy Speaking Ghosts
Through My Machines" (A Silent Place 2006) e "The Stones Know Everything" (Digitalis
Industries 2007). Today, as final confirmation of his talent, A Silent Place is proud to
present this new Fabio Orsi solo. "Find Electronica" is a wonderful album finely full of
lyric, structured as a long drone/ambient suite divided in two portions which are the
frames of the articulated central track. A strictly personal exercise on the "Weird Folk"
theme, hypnotic and seductive. The "found" electronica meets the humoral sonorities
made by the six chords, projecting enchanted landscapes on a vibrant horizon, with an
intimate sensibility. Abstract and emotional, deep and dreamy, "Find Electronica" is a
great album: an essential step in the ascending Fabio's career. Another great/small gem
from that "silent place" in the deep Italian South." PRICE: 12 €
FABIO ORSI & GIANLUCA BECUZZI: MUDDY SPEAKING GHOSTS
THROUGH MY MACHINES (A Silent Place) CD
Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' is the brand new album released together
by Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi. This album will be certainly followed by other
cooperations, considering the big friendly artistic sodality between them. Fabio e Gianluca
are a strange duo, considering the big differences of their artistic back-ground. Fabio Orsi
is a young and unexpected talent. After his first album, "Osci" (LP, SmallVoices 2005),
produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot of positive feedbacks, worldwide, by the most
important international media, confirmed by his second official release "For Alan Lomax"
(CD, A Silent Place 2006) splitted with cosmical Italian duo My Cat is an Alien. Gianluca
Becuzzi is a very well known character of the Italian experimental scene since from the
80s, under many different alias. Recently known as Kinetix, Gianluca latest release is the
very well appreciated "Memory Makes Noise" (CD, SmallVoices 2006) a great
electroacoustic pearl. The unexpected uncounter between different forces, experiences and
visions of this two artists is prefectly melted in this album: strong and tied, an imaginary
place where folkway and research, past and present, distance and closeness, mud and
clouds, ghosts and machines meets. Shreds of ballads, guitars and old keyboards floating
on the vibrant surface of this faery river and disappear, towed off by drones and rumors,
pouring between distant voices and centenary blues songs from the Alan Lomax archive.
Raptur and sweet lostness: this is the main sensation. It could be listed as Avant-Folk, or
Experimental-Blues, Ambient- Roots or contemporary aesthetics and aching
nostalgia...PRICE: 12 €

FARYUS: LUCID DREAMS (Faria) CD This album is devoted to a phenomenon of the
"Lucid dreams". A “lucid dream” - is a dream, in which the person is aware that he or she
is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams you have control over the
dream characters and environment, as well as the ability to perform otherwise physically
impossible feats. The feelings which you feel during lucid dreams are very similar to those
available during a waking state. Often they surpass the 'usual' with a saturation and
intensity. This phenomenon has been researched by such well-known researchers as
Stephen LaBerge, Robert Monroe, Carlos Castaneda, etc.. The 9th book of Carlos
Castaneda - "The Art of Dreaming" explains more fully the events occuring within this
album.
The album is conceived as travel from the moment of falling asleep up to the depths of the
infinite universe of the Dreaming: “Vivid Dream” - this is a dream, where colours and
events are extremely bright. After awakening we never forget these dreams, it remains in
the memory as a very exciting experience. It is the first phase of lucid dreaming and the
beginning of our travel. We can then find "Clarity", passing through the first gate of
dreaming to enjoy the "Lucid Dream". Opening infinite opportunities of the universe of
dreaming we begin our "Free Flying" obtaining the sanctum sanctorum of the dreaming
universe - to the "World of Inorganic Beings". PRICE: 12 €
FICPS / MAURIZIO BIANCHI : DER ABGRUND (Silentes) CD
After the recent edition in double CD of "Chaotishe Fraktale Letzte Technologie", Silentes
introduces now the result of the new collaboration between Frequency in Cycles for
Second (Sandro Kaiser) and Maurizio Bianchi. Music of the great dynamics and great
dramatic mood, powerful ", aggressive sounds", drones, sour electronic rumors, but also
deep sounds underground, more static parts, dark and expanded atmospheres, dark and
buried rhythmic mechanics movements, echoes of reverberating metals. Music of great
effect joined to one quality of the recording to the top, for one rendered sonorous
absolutely extraordinary and detailed. PRICE: 12 €
FILIVS MACROCOSMI: STALKER (OMS Records) CD
"Stalker is an elaborate puzzle. Its pieces are always scattered, and Filivs Macrocosmi
relies on his listener to bring the final element of the puzzle along with him. One of
Stalker's many treats is that it invites you to get carried away into your own thoughts,
flowing with the images as it provides new questions to ponder... In that sense, the album
is very much like a philosophical poem: a very simple surface covering innumerable layers
of meaning. One extremely long ride in a cart, with clunking metal and water-whooshing
sounds, is fascinating and hypnotic. FM downplayed the science fiction aspects of the
movie, making the album more about philosophical and spiritual concerns leaving us at the
threshold of the Room where all our most cherished desires come true. Welcome to your
Self, an alien place guarded by barbed wire...” PRICE: 12 €
FILIVS MACROCOSMI: VERSATILITY OF PERCEPTION (OMS) 2 x CD-R

"Versatility of Perception" documents the development of filivs macrocosmi through the

schizophrenic and volatile mix of seething, harsh electronics, dark ambience and tortured

retrosamples of popular songs by soviet and east european musicians, including among
others vadim kosin, maya kristalinskaya & edita pjecha. "...it's all about faith low-fied with
almost incestuous nostalgia, divine love, bloody anguish, ascetic pride interwove with
gradually ephemerizing images of parents in neverending anticlockwise movement"

lyrics. PRICE: 10 €

sofistication ever possible. The movement doesn't matter... There is only might in the
contemplation..." PRICE: 10 €

FRANK ROTHKAMM MOERS WORKS (Monochrome Vision) CD
Frank Rothkamm is the one of most interesting musicians of today, contemporary of
industrial culture. He is a true underground figure, the fighter of invisible front, who
realized a number of projects, produced great records for his own Flux Records label.
Being a professionally trained musician, he was shifting freely from tape collages in his
teens, and going through different forms including chamber music and pop arrangements.
"Moers Works" is his first experiment, discovered and unearthed by me incidentally.
Archive materials recorded back in 1982-84 and released after quarter of century!

and eternal speaker-buzz worship, wrapped around lumbering riffs drunk on cough syrup
and shimmering distortion overload. Howling feedback mantras repeated ad infinitum.
Major key rustic lullabies are reduced to primal string scraping drones that climb over
mountains of echoing hum. Intensely melodic and repetitious, like SKULLFLOWER
covering EARTH's 2 in an old, empty farmhouse. FULCI is Eric Crowe (formerly of
Social Infestation, currently of Marax) and Adam Wright. Former members of Leviathan
A.D. and The Bodybag Romance assisted on bass and drums, respectively. Mastered by

GELSOMINA: CRONENBERG / DEAD MUSIC LIVE (Freak Animal) CD
Cronenberg was originally released as 3"CDr done only 50 copies. It was too good
material to disappear so soon into obscurity, so Freak Animal decided to make real CD
release, accompanied with Gelsomina's 2nd live assault, when they were warming up for
Deutsch Nepal in Turku. Total playingtime around 45 minutes. Harsh and painful noise
meets more p.e. orientated live assault with a lot of feedback and vocals. PRICE: 10 €
GELSOMINA + NO XIVIC: FURNACE (Some Place Else) CD
Furnace is an unlikely yet strangely natural union of no Xivic, renowned sculptor of dark
electro-acoustic soundscapes, and Gelsomina, Finland's most prolific harsh noise artist.
The title track, also the main piece on the album, is a live collaboration recorded in late
2006, a grand opus of psychedelic noise with a peculiar 'kraut' flavour! In addition to this,
both artists created exclusive tracks on their own to complete the album. In total, Furnace
is a 44-minute blast of fire, brimstone and hazardous electric currents, and thus a fine
completion of Some Place Else's tenth year of activity. PRICE: 12 €
GELSOMINA: NOSTALGHIA (MIR) CD
Finally Gelsomina's obliterative 'Nostalghia' is available in its intended, appropriate
format. This gem originally passed the world by as a c-60 on the Australian label Smell
The Stench. Now rescued from the shackles of low-budget tape reproduction 'Nostalghia'
sparkles in its full glory, a full hour of seething harsh noise refinement which mercilessly
attacks from every angle. Gelsomina is already a recognised name for this in the noise
underground know, a series of tape/CDR editions - not to mention some stellar releases for
Freak Animal - all leading to this essential, absolutely necessary assault of a release. Make
no mistakes, Gelsomina is where this genre is headed. This CD reissue also comes
equipped with a bonus track, a killer lengthy live Gelsomina collaboration with Grunt.
Packaged in over-sized A5 sleeves with a multi-layered textured cover. Co-released with
Cipher Productions. Limited edition of 500 copies. PRICE: 10 €

GENOCIDE ORGAN: S/T (Tesco) CD
Harsh pure industrial music from Germany - using sound material recorded between 1985
and 1990, this self-titled album was originally intended for release in Japan in 1990 as
Genocide Organ's second LP, and is the missing link between Leichenlinie and Save Our
Slaves. Some tracks have appeared before ["In The Ghetto" and "Sturmfieber" on the
Sturmgeweiht cassette compilation and "White Power Forces" on the A Functional
Chapter of Sexual Process 7"], but the album is presented now as a whole for the first time

Finally a new album by Genocide Organ! it's been near five years since "The truth will
make you free" was released in 1999. Now 11 new tracks which reflect the development
of the band during this time, a blend mixture from industrial to power electronics to dark
depressive ambient noise outbursts for which Genocide Organ is known. Presented in a
Digipak with booklet and ltd. num. edition LP with inlet. Genocide Organ don't reflect a
concrete event of whatever nature, this an abstract questioning of everything with
anything, a call to action, which ends in a waste of energy ...a call for a movement which
is a waste of time...a nihilistic pessimistic worldview which leads somewhere.....we all fill
just space and are part of IN-KONFLIKTS. PRICE: 12 €
GIRNU GIESMES: RUPUS MILTAI (Autarkeia) CD
“Rupus miltai“ – presently counted as the eighth album of Lithuanian post-industrial
music pioneer “Girnu Giesmes“. The begetter of this Project Laurynas Jukonis used to
mark all his albums by some most archaic and original elements of Lithuanian culture,
such as the glee, rhymed recitations in ancient Lithuanian language, some ornament on the
13
cover. They reflect the coherence between the author and archaic worldview, genetics of
ancestors, moreover – they perfectly adopt the ancient code for enriching the collective
future thinking. The newest album entitled with the ancient relic, genuine and dearly fine
Lithuanian euphemism – “Rupus Miltai“ – which is not translatable into other languages,
perhaps even not explicable to foreigners, but naturally acceptable by everyone of
Lithuanian descent as some higher element of communication, open to selected ethnos.
The author of this Project chose this relic of sublime reality as the guiding point to surreal,
psychedelic trip into different, more universal reality where the ocean of associations and
infinite possibility of interpretation rise. The web of senses generated by the album “Rupus
Miltai“ throws the listener along the emotional draughts as if the whirlwind carrying the
small butterfly. A stream of transparent ambient suddenly grows into the hysterical ritual
dance of shamans, leading to the labyrinth of feelings hiding the fearful obscurity. As the
battle falls, the light descends, and the vanishing mind erases every thought and sense.
“Rupus Miltai“ is a peculiar, psychedelic album talking of .... With various eclectic postindustrial accents twinkling in it, with unique style aesthetics unrolling and blazing in
unconventional loops of dark and hypnotic ambient and frozen industrial pulse. PRICE: 12

GLOBAL DARKNESS: UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE (Self-released) CD-R
'Underneath the Surface' consists of 8 tracks which range from surreal / oppressive dark
ambient soundscapes to (distorted) rhythmic and abstract layers.. PRICE: 6 €
GLOBAL SYSTEMS SILENTLY MOVING: ALTERING THE AIR (Silentes) CD
Quiet, flowing, rivers of murky low-fi atmospheric haze, with deep, distant, sub-bass
pulses that seem to come from underground. Waves of shortwave noise roll up to the
listeners feet like water on the shore. Introspective movements to get lost in. Repetitious,
hypnotic sequences transmitted from an ethereal universe. All-pervading, and infinitely
elastic. Widescreen glimpses into seven perpetually moving soundscapes that have no
beginnings or ends. Epic patterns... rolling until the end of time. Lost souls wandering in a
dense audio-fog. These are archival analog recordings made in Detroit (1996), and seem to
be somehow affiliated with the 'deepchord brotherhood' (recorded by/produced by DC),
however... the actual artist here is not completely clear.
PRICE: 12 €
GOATVARGR: S/T (Cold Spring) CD
A harsh journey of sound structures summoned from the deepest caverns of Hell by the
scene's most prolific madmen, Nordvargr (SE) and Goat (USA). Working with each
other's source material, they offer up a brutal and violent masterpiece. Not just a head on
noise album, but a refined symphony of bestial lust, worship and violence. Goatvargr is an
assault on the senses, appealing to both the metal and noise scenes (for fans of MZ.412).

GOSLINGS: GRANDEUR OF HAIR (Archive CD) CD
GOSLINGS “grandeur of hair” in a lot of ways a release that exceeded any expectations
I’ve had for the label. Up until this point the label had mostly focused on live recordings
(beyond the Plotkin/ Wyskida release) but this project was more the full visualization of a
project as the band had been working on the recordings for some time. In a nutshell a
60’ish min. collection of tracks that feature husband wife duo of Max and Leslie Soren of
FL. Practicing the fine art of analog tape annihilation and over saturation. Predominately a
wall of fuzzed to hell guitar noise mixed lightly with some drum beats here and there
sprinkled with some sweet female vocals. One of the things that always pulled me in is the
subtle guitar melodies that are buried beneath the haze. I’ve seen a number of reviews and
comments about this release giving it the Sunno))) meets My Bloody Valentine tag, not
sure if I fully see that myself but whatever. PRICE: 12 €
GOVERNMENT ALPHA: PROSPECTIVE MASSACRE (Rape Art)CDR

GRAVITAR: EDIFIER (Manifold Records) CD
Edifier starts out suddenly and never stops. From silnece to the middle of an explosion.
This is maybe the heaviest and yet most structured Gravitar yet, with tracks going for
accapellas around a piano, to Emerson Lake And Palmer 'Tarkus' type epic sound, into a
Hendrix meets Merzbow destruction like nothing we've ever heard. And Gravitar really
are like nothing anyone has ever heard if you think about it. They have found a singular
style and voice and just mine it. They aren't getting rich but they're making records we'll
all be listening to ten years from now and thats really what matters ain't it? PRICE: 8 €

collection of whatever tracks remained unpublished, unrelated to eachother. After that, all

for anyone who wants to see how Grunt sounds like as well as complete their collection of
Grunt. It is suitable no matter what side of project's work ("harshnoise" or "pe/industrial")
you enjoy. -1st disc offers constructed power electronics/noise, close to earlier well known
Grunt releases as "Europe After Storm" or "Terror & Degeneration". Heavy loops and
analogue electronics with samples and violent vocal attacks are combined with painful
sounds of screeching iron and rusty metal. Also unusual methods with keyboards and other
unusual elements are hidden into songs. -2nd disc offers long tracks of colossal sound of
industrial-noise orgy. Coarse and harsh sound of completely acoustic metal noise, starting
from disturbing screech and clangs, ending up into full scale noise orgy.

surprising turns and twists.

recording of the group's live performance at club Syntesia in Tampere, Finland in January
2006. Here, deep dark ambient soundscapes meet creeping rhythms and ecstatic oriental

expectations comes abloom. Purists, clinging on to their cherished dogmas in the dust of
their crumbling temples, will be itching to burn these heretics alive. PRICE: 6 €

(Werkraum - vocals, guitars, keyboards, flute), Tor Lundvall (vocals, soundscapes) or
Amanda Votta, a brilliant Canadian flutist While the band found and followed its own path
in the so-called "dark folk" scene, the term was and still is much too restrictive to give a
precise idea of the band's unique songwriting and playing. Haunting loops, eerie
keyboards, ghostly whispers, ethereal guitars are all a part of "Night Chorus". PRICE: 9 €
HATI: MANTRA-I - PREHISTORY OF HATI: VOL. 1 (Eter) CD-R "Quite recently
Polish Hati did a small tour together with z'ev. No doubt Hati is one of those bands that
use concerts to sell CDs and perhaps for that reason they released these three CDRs. Hati
is a drone group who use a variety of instruments: animal horns, bamboo pipes, steel jingle
bells, wooden pipe, plastic tubes, cymbal, steel lids, wood wind chimes, and much more
and the outcome is both atmospheric and occasionally rhythmic. On 'Mantra-I: Prehistory
Of Hati: Vol. 1' we are transported back to the past, to the very first sessions by Hati in
1997. Here they still use loops, guitar, effects, voice, found objects and a drum machine.
Especially the drum machine makes a big mark on the music. It rambles on like there is no
end. The entire sound spectrum is smeared with sound effects. Very trance like, but for the
weak of mind, this can turn out to be a bad head trip. Sometimes a bit noisy, but such as in
'Suntan 1' a nice cross-over between the old zoviet*france and the more recent Troum."

inspired psych-ambient soundscapes mixing gongs, metal discs, aluminium bars with
wooden pipes, animal horns and trumpets. Z'EV, who is very well-know for his
percussiive music skill, edited and treated Hati’s tracks those were originally recorded in
2003. His rhythmajickal remix created structures with a long range of mystical drones.

An immensely skilled, deep, and varied sonic journey through exceptional experimental
electronics and richly detailed field and environmental recordings manipulated and
reconfigured beyond the point of easy recognition. Influenced by a wide range of
inspirations, from the immediacy of vaguely familiar yet unsettling terrestrial audio
environs, outwards towards the vast expanses of cosmology. PRICE: 10 €
HEAVY WINGED: FEEL INSIDE (Archivecd) CD
Brand new three trax release from Portland/ Brooklyn based unit which comes on the
heels of the bands recently re-issue disc, and highly excellent three lobed release “blacc
lust”, comes three long playing journeys into psych noise dronedom. I’m not a huge fan of
the press release description game where the label goes on to babble and make absurd
quotes like “sounds like every band that has sold a shit load of records this past month if
you combine sunno))) with your mamma then you know exactly how great this record is”.
I’d just like to humbly state to me it comes off like the Bardo Pond brothers recording in
the lo-fi high fuzz induced kitchen of the Goslings. All label claims aside listen to the
clip!! PACKAGE comes packed in a double cover center opening sleeves with the outer
shell being a vellum overlay wonderfully executed graphically by Chasse Middaugh.

HENRIK SUMMANEN: CAVE SONGS (Ahasverus) CD-R
This release is based on live sessions in March 2006. The EP is one single track. In an
article some years ago, literature nobel prize winner W.S. Naipul was asked how he was
able to create characters, and have so much understanding for people. His answer was
short: "You don´t write because you understand, you write because you don´t understand."
To him the motivator for writing was that he had an ambition to understand the characters
in his novels. I laborated a bit with this idea when working on the piece Cave songs.
Prehistoric religions have always been a source of inspiration to me - but I have had
problems to approach them in a direct way. Cave songs is based upon a live session, and
through the fragments I sometimes feel a hint of the powers of nature. PRICE: 7 €
HENRIK SUMMANEN: THE GREAT ATTRACTOR (Ahasverus) CD-R
Henrik Summanen keeps publishing music at an ever-increasing pace. And as long as the
quality is on this level, I have absolutely no complaints about that. Just like the artist's
other recent works, this too falls somewhere on the gray area between electro-acoustic and
drone-ambient. With the use of small, wonderfully echoing structures Summanen creates
the feel of a cold, hall-like space. It is a soundscape in which every piece seems
immensely important and meaningful. The best example of this effect is in the title track,
which grows from small drops to a wide, but not at all massive range of drones.
The more landscaping "Out of Orbit" is definitely less interesting, even colder in feel and
far more direct - but it's still a good track. "White Hole" is again much stronger. It's clearly
more spatial than the opening track, making it sound like an echo in emptiness. A subdued
alternation between pauses and structures keeps it fascinating all the way. The album's
second gem is its final track, "Southern Wall", an oppressive return to the elements used in
the beginning. The tone is a bit warmer this time, though, and the feel is of a slightly
smaller space. [Jiituomas, Kuolleen Musiikin Yhdistys] PRICE: 7 €
HEIKKI KIVELÄ: IKONOKLASTI (Toiko) CD-R
'Ikonoklasti' presents 6 tracks varying from pulsing, droning and hypnotic (high
frequency) noisy soundscapes to minimal sonic violence. Comes in a clear plastic pocket
with minimal b/w covers. PRICE: 6 €
HERBST9: BURIED UNDER TIME AND SAND (Loki Foundation) CD
The natural sound stands with Herbst9 and the ritual motives developing visionary
sequences. The third album can not be reduced to a certain basic feeling, and it can not be
categorized as pure ambient music. That is simply one of the most sensitive and most
concentrated records for a long time, direct, endlessly devoured and deep. PRICE: 12 €
HERBST9: THROUGH BLEAK LANDSCAPES (Loki Foundation) CD
With this stunning collaboration the dark cavernous drones and ethnic-ritual
instrumentation of Herbst 9 melts with the complex and percussive sounds of industrial
pioneer and master of rhythmata Z´ev. Ten tracks of deep spheres and blazing
luminescence will propel you into a swirling void of aural effects and demonic resonance.
Both projects worked with the raw material of each other while the final mix was made by
Herbst 9. The result is a sombre and meditative soundtrack constructed with gongs, choral
textures, deep vibrating strings and scraping sounds-effects reaching a climax with an
outburst of tribalistic sequences and rhythmic percussion. An impressive and gripping
journey through bleak landscapes and abandoned places. PRICE: 12 €
H.E.R.R.: THE WINTER OF CONSTANTINOPLE (Cold Spring) CD
Steeped in tragedy and legionary heroism, this musical odyssey recreates the penultimate
1453 siege of the Byzantine capital beside the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus. A
neo-classical cocktail of atmospheric keyboards, cello and pounding drums frolic
alongside militaristic anthems about European imperium, hooliganism as modern warfare,
vanquished heroes, Turkish hordes, architectural majesty and defiant optimism. The
diverse lyrical styles and sheer breadth of instrumentation on this release make it one of
the most original and captivating albums of the last few years. PRICE: 12 €
H.E.R.R.: VONDEL'S LUCIFER - FIRST MOVEMENT (Cold Spring) CD Taken
from the Dutch playwright's 17th century opus, 'Lucifer', this release tells of heavenly
discontent amid a jealous tale of angelic rebellion in the face of God's love for humankind.
Containing half-sung and spoken vocals, a gentle folk-like melody, baroque composition
and rich musical arrangements, this album introduces the first three acts in 75 bombastic
minutes. Guest appearances from members of Ostara, While Angels Watch, Belborn and
Sagittarius. PRICE: 12 €
H.H.T.P. & PORTABLEPALACE CAVITATION (Monochrome Vision) CD
The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative
process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from
Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic
phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest
harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through
the system of computer-aided instruments. PRICE: 10 €
HIERONYMUS BOSCH THE DREAM SONGS (Fluttering Dragon) CD
Long anticipated album from New Zealand based project Hieronymus Bosch. This will be
the 3rd cd album release for this mysterious dark ambient Industrial act that have been in
existence now for over 20 years! A journey into the mind of a child and the fears the
imagination and real life can bring. We call it "The Dream Songs". To illustrate the
concept and music we have compiled old photographs of children fighting in the Warsaw
Insurrection of the 2nd War. Most of the children shown on the photographs died in the
fights. Visual proof that dreams and fantasy are not always as harmless as they seem. A
stunning, yet disturbing and thought provoking release. PRICE: 12 €

I AM ABOVE ON THE LEFT AN A-BOMB TO WAKE UP (RAIG) CD
This is complicated and explosive. This is innovation and progression. This is another
heavy testament of pure musical genius from IAAOTL. Entirely instrumental, this album
could easily make musicians stand openmouthed, wondering just how such music is
written. No matter how chaotic they seem, all the compositions are dense and carefully
structured. There are no improvisations or solos despite the influences of prog-rock or
avant-jazz in their music. But there are lots of complex and dissonant guitar interplay,
angry and crushing angular riffing, insane time and key changes, mind-pounding and
panicked sounds, thought-expanding pauses and weird noise-drones. An A-Bomb To
Wake Up is too overwhelming and complicated for an average listener to listen to, and
much less to understand. This is something that has to be heard to be believed! PRICE: 12

I.CORAX SPECTRAL METABOLISM (Kaos Kontrol) CD
Haunting revelation of sonic worlds where primal elements and archaic voices flux side by
side with contemporary methods of amplifying the relation between sound and mind to
culmination. Whirling soundscapes of organic and natural phenomena woven together
with the synthetic and manipulated; the outcome being nothing short of utmost brilliance
in the field of dark ambient and post-industrial. After a few highly acclaimed limited CDr
works, the Finnish duo finally presents their first CD release, undoubtedly setting out to
challenge the stagnance of the genre they master eminently. PRICE: 10 €

'Tidal', 'Crossfishes', 'NJD' and others. He is also founder of projects as 'Kruzenshtern &
Parohod', 'Igor Krutogolov Karate Band Toy Orchestra' (a mini big band plays grind-core,
black metal, rock-n-roll and tango on toy instruments) and others, wrote the soundtrack for
the animated film 'Wardrobe' by Japanese directors Yamamoto Hiromi & Takayuri
Iwasawa. Contributed tracks to "Tel Aviv Aftermath"(Topheth Prophet), "Infernal
Proteus"(Ajna Offensive) and more. 'Muzika Elektronica' is a solo work by Igor
Krutogolov. 'Muzika Elektronica' is clearly noise orientated and built using an
instrumentarium of drums, washing machine, bass (with cello bow), drum machine and
voices. Loud eruptions of distorted sounds with an incredible detailed structure leave just
the right amount of breathing room in the form of slow (delicious) bass driven beats and
quiet, melodical passages. Noise extraordinaire!' Esc.Rec. PRICE: 8 €
ILLUSION OF SAFETY: 15 / FINITE MATERIAL (Functional) CD
Contains excellent material from the long deleted tape. Meld odd rhythms with cut-ups

ILLUSION OF SAFETY/LIFE GARDEN/VOICE OF EYE: NATURE OF SAND
(Manifold Records) CD
Mastered for exquisite digital sound that sounds in no way live, The Nature of Sand finds
IOS and Life Garden dwelling in a ritual space, subterranean darkambience and primitive
rhythm marking out the ends of human existence, the beginning of the soul. A lengthy and
satisfying track with a somehow inspirational tone beneath the nightmare. The Illusion of
Safety colab with Voice of Eye is complete tonal and textural magnificence, the
shimmering drones, crisp, rich and penetrating, take control of the listener in the first few
minutes and don't let go for the next thirty-five or more minutes. Unbeleivable. Artwork
by David Oliphant. PRICE: 12 €
IMMACULATE:GROTESQUE TERRITORY (RRRecords) CD
6 tracks varying from densely constructed noise walls to more spacious atmospheric
tracks. Its a very odd release, words fail me to describe it well. The material is mostly
inspired by continued failure, bringing on complete lack of confidence, which in turn
creates further failure. The sound and feel of the release ended up being alot less
aggressive or devastating than some I:G, but in turn, more depressing and pathetic.
PRICE: 7 €
INCAPACITANTS: PARIAH TAPES (Freak Animal) 5 x CD
Huge influence for whole international noise scene. Freak Animal had opportunity to

Junkdrome came out 10 years ago) and it is no less than box of 5 full length CD's ! This is
A MUST have collection of all the oldest Incapacitants tapes released on Mikawa's own
Pariah tapes label. 2 first tapes have NEVER been sold in public, and 3 other tapes (pallo
triple tape) was manufactured less than 100. While most of Japanese artists in early 80's
were doing free-improv. or sound collages, listen to sound of Incapacitants who since
1981 has delivered such harsh noise walls, they are hard to match even today ! Includes
replication of all original artwork as well as linernotes from Mikawa himself. PRICE: 40 €

Incinerator International is a collaborative project between US noisemaster John Balistreri

HH9, etc). Highly distorted, disturbed and menacing, this soundtrack for every girls
nightmare is finally unleashed to rip your speakers apart! Soundwise you will recognize
the frantic vocals that Slogun is known for, but this time the musical backdrop is more of a
dirty Folkstorm-ish nature. This is the future of power electronics! PRICE: 12 €
IN DEATH'S THROES: TACTICAL DISORDER (Art Konkret) CD
This American artists combine different styles of nowadays postindustrial culture. Songs
like CONTROL are a uncompromising attack of harsh power electronics with a burning,
corrosive intensity. Numbing frequencies, uneasy drones, and low level pulsations with
processed vocals. Dark rumbling Death Industrial tracks with droning and atmospheric
sound layers mixed with samples andrhythms can also be found on this release. Promising
cut-ups, gloomy rumbling droning soundwalls with echoing frequencies, give the songs a
special character. The sound material creates an atmosphere between dark, hopeless
soundwalls and aggressive noise assaults. From the beginnig to the end the CD never
looses its intensity. Tracks like Call To Arms, Control, D-Generation Wasted, Pure
Nothing speak their own language. The last track on the album is eclusively remixed by
Richard Schneider of Schloss Tegal. This CD is a must for all lovers of Death Industrial
and power electronics.PRICE:9€

IRMOLOGION: DYNATOS (RAIG) CD
16
DYNATOS is the original Greek word which means loud, mighty, possible, potent,
potential, powerful, robust, strong, vigorous… Though this term was often used in
Byzantium legal manuscripts dated to IX-X centuries to define big land-lords or
significant persons in imperial ecclesiastical hierarchy, there is a hypothesis that a major
criteria of belonging to dynatos was not property itself but enormous temporal and
spiritual power which one had got from hands of the Lord. PRICE: 12 €
IRMOLOGION: S/T (RAIG) CD
That word came into the orthodox religious tradition from Hellenic: irmos – a motet, and
logeyo – to collect. As a single-genre chapel-book, Irmologion was first compiled from a
number of irmoses in the 10th century in Byzantium. A full version of the Russian
Irmologion includes about 1050 irmoses and reproduces a specific classical structure,
which is submitted to so-called “8-glas system” when the irmoses within each “glas”
follow the exact order of 9 songs of the Canon. The purpose of this brief inquiry is to
explain the album organization: 9 tracks (Irmos 1-9) in sequence which is of great
importance for the perception of music. In fact, IRMOLOGION is far from interpretation
of canonic motets; this more resembles a horror-documentary soundtrack redefining one's
dark vision of the world intoxicated by deceits, illusions, and errors. Consistently dark and
deeply disturbing chants grow up from some distorted references to holy hymns and raise
up everything to the level of apocalypse. Here, the Ceremony is no more a source from
which the author draws his inspiration but an act provoking him to create a stunning
alternative and send this painful challenge to the tempting and rupturing dogma.

ISOMER: SERPENT AGE (Tesco) CD
Isomer is the solo project of Australian David Tonkin, and remains one of the few active
producers of dark ambient music in this far-flung continent. To date, Isomer has selfreleased three full-length cassettes: Semblance of Perfection, Sedation, and The Lotus
Eaters. Serpent Age heralds a new stage in Isomer's progression, taking a decidedly more
dark ambient approach than previous outings. It is a focusing and culmination of past
work. The project began as personal studies of the hidden. The dark underbellies of
perfection. The beauty in decay. The boundless capacity of humankind for self-deceit. In
an age and society of force-fed culture and anesthesia, Isomer was the artist's attack,
therapy and source of strength. The term itself refers to a chemical compound composed
of the same kinds and numbers of atoms as another, but whose atoms differ from each
other in their arrangement, and therefore, in their properties. Serpent Age is an album
airing personal beliefs and passions.

JENS HEDMAN/PAULINA SUNDIN: CURRENTS(ElektronRecords)CD
CURRENTS (by Jens Hedman and Paulina Sundin) is a musical tribute to our hometown,
Stockholm, portraying the flows and streams in the city from four different sound
perspectives. The work also deals with the changing seasons and different times of day. It
was composed at EMS in Stockholm and all the sound material was recorded in the city
and its districts using a Neumann kunstkopf microphone. The first two parts were
composed in 1996 and the remaining two in 1998. Each of the four sections can also be
played separately as short electroclips. The first performance of Currents was at "Hey
Listen", the international sound conference for acoustic ecology arranged by the Swedish
Royal Academy of Music together with World Forum for Acoustic Ecology (WFAE) and
Stockholm European Capital of Culture 1998. Since then the piece has been performed
frequently at concerts and has also been used by other artists, such as the Basle Dance
Company, which added choreography to the piece during ISCM World Music Days 2000
in Luxembourg. The architect NN created a visual interpretation of Currents for Galleri
NN during the UNM Festival in Gothenburg in 1999. Currents is available in three
different versions: 2-channel, 8-channel and 12-channel. The 12-channel version was
specially made for the open-air pavilion, Elektrofonen, created by Jens Hedman and
Christian H–rgren. PRICE: 12 €
JOAN SILVER PIN: CHIAROSCURO (RAIG) CD
Papaver somniferum, its history begins with the ancient Sumerians who referred to the
flower as a plant of joy. The knowledge of the plant was passed throughout the nations and
ages. The ancient Egyptians promoted use of opium as a sleep aid, and their pharaohs were
buried with opium artifacts. Numerous ancient Greek gods were portrayed wreathed with
or carrying poppies. Hippocrates made frequent mention of the poppy for its hypnotic
effects and nutritive value. Opium was largely used as a social drug in India and China. In
Europe, waned during the Dark Ages, the use of opium was rediscovered in XVI century:
the smoking of opium was discovered; prior to this opium was taken orally – the practice
of smoking opium is still considered barbaric by some cultures. During 17th and 18th
centuries opium became the primary trade commodity between Europe, India and China.
In 1803, F.Seturner discovered the active ingredient of opium by dissolving it in acid then
neutralizing it with ammonia: the resulting product was morphine. In 1874, C.Write
created heroin by boiling morphine over a stove. Opium and its products consumption
reached an all time high in Britain in 1830...
Well, the stories told by JSP are as dramatic and mysterious as the history of poppies
itself. Incorporating electronics, traditional instrumentations, esoteric vocalizations as well
as atypical arrangement and production techniques, «Chiaroscuro» sonic landscapes can
earn the praise among a diverse variety of different audiences. The group relies most often
on the experimental ambient aesthetic with subtly changes in content and timbre, mixing a
warm, clean fusion of deliberate analog synths, gentle guitars, stark trumpet, smart
percussive bits, loose and forceful vocal improvisations. An accomplished post-rock
architecture of the various elements from synth-music, avant-garde, jazz and rock: the
ability to create quite layered and complex, the more you listen to it, modern electroacoustic psychedelic masterpieces becomes apparent from the very album beginning.

JOHN WATERMANN: CALCUTTA GAS CHAMBER (Cold Spring) CD
The concept of aurally conveying the horror of a gas chamber was realised through field
recordings in an abandoned electrical power station in Brisbane in 1992. The sounds are
grating and harsh, a mixture of field recordings and electronic manipulations. One can
rarely pinpoint a location or action but the images and sounds conjure up all sorts of
nefarious activites related to death by machinery. The sleeve notes take you into the horror
that is the Calcutta Gas Chamber. A beautifully composed and produced CD, completely
remastered and re-packaged. PRICE: 12 €

Kadaver is NOT an artist trying to "creatively express himself" via this format. This is a

not for anyone... This is Kadaver. Cd-r in DVD case with pro-cover, limited to 150 copies.

KANIBA: THE SERPENT, THE OMAGA AND COMPLETION OF THE FIRST
CIRCLE (Autumn Wind Prods.) CD
Thematically, The Serpent is of the Earth and Shub-Niggurath; the Womb of all, the grave
of all. Life and Death, creation and destruction, the Alpha and the Omega. The Serpent
represents the return to the Source from whence Kaniba came, as Terrorgoat, and a
reflection upon the journey from that moment to what is now. It is a union of old and new
elements, of old and new themes. The Serpent represents good and evil, light and dark; the
giver and taker of life. The Serpent celebrates Life as the gift which comes from the womb
of Shub-Niggurath, and The Serpent celebrates Death as the sacrifice craved by the jaws
17
of Shub-Niggurath. The Serpent is the grave, which is a womb, The Serpent is the birth
occuring through demise. The Serpent is the undoing of death, and the elevation of the
soul that is ascendancy.
Most of all, The Serpent is the end. PRICE: 11 €

On this new CD KARNA performs brilliant Satanic Cold Black Ambient with cold night
feelings spreading the Darkness. Soundtrack that gives birth to the ghostly visions calling
into the bottomless Abyss ... Total Time: 41 min. PRICE: 12 €
KARNA: VORON / RAVEN (Eternal Pride) CD
As the lead transforms alchemically into gold, the gloomy dark Cold Wave of the older
Karna has transformed into the unique Blackened Ambient Metal. It's a symbolic hymn to
Solitude, Emptiness and Total Dark. The monotonous and hypnotic guitar passages react
with the cold Ambient fragments. 7 dead coal-black raven feathers reflecting the dark
mentality of one more soul which disappeared in the Dark.
PRICE: 12 €
KARSTEN HAMRE: BROKEN WHISPERS (Flood the Earth) CD
We have just released the debut album from Karsten Hamre entitled Broken Whispers.
Many will be familiar with Karsten through his other projects such as Penitent, Arcane Art
and Veiled Allusions. I must say that this is really some of the darkest material I have
heard from Karsten. Whereas prior releases have had brief transient rays of light seep
through the cloud of audial despair, Broken Whispers remains void of any possibility of
hope. Total bleak minimalist atmospheres by one of the masters. PRICE: 12 €

KENJI SIRATORI: BRAIN FUCKER (Mask of the Slave) CD-R
Born March 13, 1975, in Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan, Kenji Siratori is a cyberpunk author
and internet self-promoter. He first gained attention in 2006 by writing to as many
industrial, ambient, EBM and goth bands he could find, including "reviews" of them in his
idiosyncratic style, and asking to collaborate. His scattergun approach proved successful,
despite his reviews of non-sequitirs and non-sensical cyberspeak being interchangeable,
and a slew of collaborations from flattered musicians were soon foisted upon the world.
Japanese Noise with PE elements, full length album! PRICE: 8 €
KENJI SIRATORI: HUMANEXIT (T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!!) CD-R
New musical work of Kenji Siratori, “a man who breaks new ground that others only

dimension.PRICE:8 €
KK NULL / MOZ: SPLIT (Crionic Mind) CD
Released November 2000, KK NULL presents five new tracks of frenetic electronics and
rhythmic experiments, ranging from cacophonous to an almost tribal atmosphere. Ever
evolving within a sphere of obscure tension the details reveal themselves with a stalwart
elegance. MOZ delivers 6 tracks of socially introspective Death Industrial and Dark
Ambient. Drifting slabs contrast sharply with vitriolic sonics to render this misshapen
pillar of sobering electronics. PRICE: 10 €

Pipeline) CD-R

PRICE: 5 €
KORPERSCHWACHE: SORDID REVELATIONS FROM THE CULT OF THE
NAZARENE (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
Extended buzzsaw feedback necrodrone blasts that resemble the slow shrieking and
crushing destruction inflicted by heavy machinery. Existing somewhere between pure
noise|drone ambient and the grisliest depths of avant-garde/mutant Black Metal (minus
any semblance of percussion,mind you), this is the sound of a small orchestra of fried out
amplifiers performing extreme exercises in dissonant annihilation, with occasional vocal
proclamations by Elektra Sturmschnell. But believe it or not, there are some DAMN
CATCHY moments here. Using tape loops, gadgets, distorted samples,effects pedals,and
blown-amp guitars and bass, Korperschwache creates an extremely loud form of
isolationism. PRICE: 8 €
KORPERSCHWACHE: TEMPLE OF THE DEVIL KITTY (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
A new shot of melodic alien powerdrone and severe speaker-cone overload from Texas
amplifier mutant KORPERSCHWACHE. Temple Of The Devil Kitty opens with Voices
Beneath The Navidson House, a seventeen-minute long noisedirge that sounds like
EARTH or SUNN O))) playing several blocks down in heavy rain, as satanic toy monkeys
bang cymbals and drag chains around outside in the street and stray voices drift into
earshot. This is followed by Democracy Comes From The Barrel Of A Gun, which
uncorks some gooey blackened speaker tar over a sick Miami Vice beat, a slaytanic
Skullflower-in-a-drone-disco eruption that stands as one of KORPERSCHWACHE's
coolest blasts. Mammoth drum machine beats continue to propel the disc's scorched
cyclical riffage through songs like When Wolves Dream Of Sheep and And Then Came
December (Blunt-Force Injury II). Six tracks in all of cascading waterfalls of sinister
amplifier hiss and reverb. PRICE: 8 €
KORPERSCHWACHE: THE DEVIL SPEAKS THROUGH MY GUITAR (Crucial
Bliss) CD-R
New 6 track full length from texan guitar necrodrone outfit KORPERSCHWACHE.
Densely layered disharmonic melodies float across charred and corroded waves of
blackened amplifier buzz and speaker hum. Reverberating strings conjure huge decaying
cathedral spaces. Speaker flaying drones drip like dirty molasses. Apocalyptic chiming
rings out like a satanic pipe organ. Church hymns for the end of days. Slo mo tectonic drift
from a hundred tortured practice amps. PRICE: 8 €
KORPERSCHWACHE: VOICE OF THE OUROBOROS(CB)CDR
Voice Of The Ouroboros may be the heaviest and most damaged offering from Texan
necro/amp mutation KORPERSCHWACHE so far, as brutal drum machines bash out
vaguely rock rhythms over utterly corroded, blown out distorto droneriffing with
monstrous vocal gunk slung over everything like a death metal SKULLFLOWER
pounding a two-chord riff into oblivion on shredded amplifiers set to 11. Four tracks of
floor-rattling serpent worship, with most clocking in at over fifteen minutes each.Extreme
rituals of repetition and crude speaker destruction born from the Rhys Chatham / Band Of
Susans school of six-string maximalism are beamed back through a scum-encrusted
Sludge/Black Metal/Noise lens. Packaged in a hand-assembled, full-color folder in a
resealable plastic sleeve. Presented in an edition of 100 copies, hand numbered. PRICE: 8€
KOUHEI MATSUNAGA: COMPLICATED HIGH STILL NOW... (Autarkeia) CDR
When Eastern Europe only starts discovering "noise" music, in Japan - Meka of "noise'
music, a new age of artists, naming themselves "post noise", wave is arising. One of them
- Kouhei Matsunaga, well know from his split editions with Merzbow, constructed an
interesting recording named "Complicated high still now…" from his archive tracks.
Album consists of four tracks. Their totality makes an illusion of deep, sometimes dark,
psychedelic mood to the listener. Album starts with silent and anxious track. The second
one consists of prepossessing electronic loops. At the time of hearing the record the
listener undoubtedly can recognise Japan music school. The third and the fourth tracks,
which are the longest, Kouhei starts to rage over using the best Japan weapon - "noise".
Noise itself is quite aggressive and reminds of roughest Japan "noise" epoch creations but
the construction of the sound is different and characteristic only to Kouhei. "Complicated
high still now…" is undoubtedly Japan "post noise" music masterpiece. PRICE:6€
KREPULEC / OUTOFSIGHT: FURIOUS FRIENDS (Beast of Prey) CD-R

the scene.PRICE: 10 €
KRISTOFFER NYSTRÖMS: ORKESTER BRAKEHEAD (Malignant) CD
Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester (KNO) is a collaborative project between Peter Nyström
(Megaptera/Negru Voda) and Kristoffer Oustad (V:28). A true sonic beat down, done in
full Scandinavian style, with a battery of iron fisted rhythms hammering down in a
thunderous downpour, and the caustic reverberations of the analog doom machine grinding
and screeching in a symphony of clangorous and distressed beauty. This is an album that is
as majestic as it is bleak, capturing the essence of old school Swedish industrial, but
18
forging a new path towards a dark future.From auralpressure.com: "Brakehead" is a
phenomenally majestic piece of dark ambience and noise that will leave you totally awe
struck. The visceral raw power of the electronics is a thing of untamed beauty that heralds
in a new era by which others must now be judged against." Check out other reviews in the
reviews section. A must for fans of Megaptera, Negru Voda, and all things Peter Nystrom.
In stylish digipak. PRICE: 12 €
KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK: 22.SZ (Mechanoise Labs) CD
Using gritty radio textures, shuddering digital noise and subdued rhythmic structures, this
debut album from the Russian act behind the Zhelezobeton label elegantly combines
simplicity with satisfaction. The layered sound hums and sizzles with the soothing quality
of a crackling power line, achieving the glowing warmth of an electrical fire. PRICE: 12 €
KTL: KTL (Editions Mego) CD
Threatening new collaboration taking in parallel worlds of Extreme Computer Music and
Black Metal. KTL is Stephen O'Malley (SUNNO))), Khanate) and Peter Rehberg (PITA).
A six part collision amongst the increasingly fading prescences between the light and the
dark. This work came about as the two were composing sound and music for a piece by
Gisèle Vienne and Dennis Cooper, entitled 'Kindertotenlieder'. It must be stated that this
CD is NOT the soundtrack to said piece, but a separate project. However, elements may
appear in the finished piece which is to be premiered in Brest, France, March 2007. Pieces
were recorded in a resistance fortress in southern France during a thunderstorm. Others in
a wintergarden drenched in the sunlight. Stephen O'Malley: strings, fx, amps Peter
Rehberg: oscs, apps, drives
Written, recorded & mixed by Stephen O'Malley & Peter Rehberg at Fort du Murier &
Vienne Wintergarden, Grenoble July 2006. Mastered at Piethopraxis, Köln, August 2006.

KTL: KTL 2 (Editions Mego) CD
Devastatingly beautiful four part follow up to the acclaimed debut CD recorded in a
former abattoir in Angers, as well as a 16th Century manor in the extreme west of France.
Taking the blueprint that was laid out on the first record even further, with the ecstatic
build up of ‘Theme’, the near psychedelic ‘Abattoir’, and closing with the twisted
romanticism of the closing ‘Snow 2’. An upgrade both artistically and emotionaly. As with
the first CD elements appeared in the finished version of the theatre piece
‘Kindertotenlieder’ by Gisele Vienne and Dennis Cooper, which was premiered in Brest,
France, March 2007. Stephen O'Malley: strings, fx, amps, tube osc Peter Rehberg: digital
osc, apps, drives. PRICE: 12 €
LAND:FIRE: PHYSICAL:MENTAL:PSYCHOLOGICAL (Tesco) CD
New album after the LP on Loki Foundation label, comes in nice DVD Digipak and with
extensive booklet. cold ambience, interupted by rhythmic outbursts, Land:Fire is the more
clinical technical project of the men behind Herbst 9. Ritual technical ambient music, if
this can be...soundlayers of real brilliance which leave no room for a way back to archaic
orchestration...music simply brilliant arranged to reflect a big impact on human kind such
as the instant 5:29:45 a.m. on July 16. 1945 the first atomic device called Trinity
detonated. This album is a documentation and a reflection of that historical event.
PRICE:12 €
L'ANUS SOLAIRE: ORIFICES (L’anus Solaire) CD
Excellent debut release from a one-man project offering 12 short tracks -34'28 mnsmainly based on loops and samples. Hypnotic droning soundscapes, disturbing noises,
some short sample-voices,.. Taking their influences amongst the pioneers of the industrial
and experimental scenes: P16 D4, SEMA, early NURSE WITH WOUND, H.N.A.S. and
early NON but done with a nowdays technology. The whole atmosphere is cold, weird
with a precise sound evolving like an initiation to a secret ritual. Completely original, to
discover undubitively... Comes in a booklet with texts written -in French- by the artist
inspired by Georges BATAILLE whom this CD is dedicated to. An unique experience

LATER DAYS: SONGS OF THE WATCHMAKER (Scarcelight Recordings) CD

natural and computational. In the summer, this fascination leads him to create obscure
computer music software. In the winter, it sends him outside to hunt mushrooms. Songs of
the Watchmaker is his debut full-length, which follows his 3”CD (Do, 2000) on the
esteemed Irish label Fallt. Working with his own custom built software, Wayne has
created a sinister yet playful album of squiggly audio drawings harvested from his sonic
garden. PRICE:12€

decomposition. PRICE: 8 €
LAW: THE BLACK LODGE (Nuit & Brouillard) CD
Third CD by this great american artist, after a tape, two vinyl releases and several
compilation tracks. Here you’ll find again what the so typical Law’sound is made of.
Oppressing, frightening and chilling atmospheres, nightmarish samples, distorded guitars
and vocals melting into subtle soundscapes full of latent violence as sharp as a razor
blade... Yet a slight evolution in the sound is to be noticed. "The Black Lodge” includes
more vocals and some orchestral parts. This will be the final full length collection of new
material by LAW, and the audio is housed in a special fold-out package featuring full
colour images captured and designed by the artist. PRICE: 12 €

PRICE: 12 €
LEBENSWELT: S/T (RAIG) CD
Not only LEBENSWELT is a new name in the underground industrial scene, but also the
releases which the trio put out under various names have always been extremely limited
and thus hard to get for the audience. This self-titled limited edition album is both an
official debut by the project and a perfect introduction to their creative activity as it
collects the most intriguing recordings from 2004-2005. PRICE: 10 €
LE FORBICI DI MANITU: TAGLIARE (Small Voices) 2xCD
Veterans of the Italian experimental scene, Le Forbici di Manitù celebrate in their own
peculiar way twenty years of underground activism through an album recorded live in
their cellar, offering new arrangements, essential and direct, of (nearly) all the “songs” in
their back repertory, appeared from 1983 until today on a dozen of different releases (cds,
compilations, rare cassettes and singles). Laying aside for this time conceptual electronics,
noise-oriented audiogames and imaginary soundtracks, the atypically affable voice of
Manitù Rossi guides us through an heterogeneous collection of surreal ballads of desperate
love and disconsolate odes to the most despairing normality, grim dark songs about serial
killers and nervous psycho-funk hymns inspired by old b-movies, touching elegies to
deceased Pop artists and sad reflections on the state of indie music. As a bonus, covers and
hommages between the lines to The Associates, Nico, The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Wire and
Cocteau Twins. On the second cd we find instead remakes and remixes of other songs by
Le Forbici di Manitù, recorded in the studio through a network of friends and special
guests. We hear the enthralling G-Pop of Valvola & Mac Donald Duck Eclair and the
deviant electro-funk of Technogod and Erasermen, the bizarre avant-punk of Maisie (with
the plagiarist Plozzer) and the rarefied ambient dub of Teho Teardo. And let’s not forget
the tour de force of the hallucinatory title-track Tagliare (literally “to cut”), an electrorhythmical sequence by Le Forbici di Manitù reworked by several international artists
(Mana ERG, DJ Balli, Lloyd Dunn, Rod Summers, T.A.C., Massimo Giacon, Nocturnal
Emissions) and then mixed in a phenomenal cut-up dj set of over 23’, performed by
Marani and Taver of DuoZero. PRICE: 12 €
LE FORBICI DI MANITU: TERRORE NELLO SPAZIO(SV) CD
One of the most enigmatic, eclectic and cosmopolitan bands of the Italian electronic scene
returns with a singular sonorization - originally commissioned by the sci-fi festival
Invasioni and performed live in Cosenza in Summer 2001 - paying a tribute to the cult
movie Terrore nello spazio (1965, a.k.a. Planet of the Vampires and The Demon Planet)
by Mario Bava (1914-1980), the undisputed and unforgotten Maestro of Italian gothic and
macabre cinema (with films like Black Sunday, Black Sabbath, Blood and Black Lace,
etc.), an ingenious and ironic innovator of the low budget productions that was appreciated
and revalued in France, UK and USA much earlier than in his native country. Based freely
on the story (later plagiarized by Ridley Scott’s Alien) of the spaceships Argot and Galliot,
attracted to land on a dying planet by ectoplasmic alien-vampires that in order to escape to
other worlds need to take possession of the body of astronauts turning them into living
zombies, Le Forbici di Manitù have created a sharp-witted hybrid of B-movies retrofascinations and stylized genre contaminations, by mixing samplers and analogic
electronics with an instrumentation hinting at jazz (flute, clarinet, congas, vibraphone) and
disseminating the score with surreal cut-ups of dialogues from vintage films (where horror
queen Barbara Steele can be heard in conversation with the high-brow characters played
by Monica Vitti or with the silly comedians Franco and Ciccio), to permeate it with a midSixties mood. PRICE: 8 €
LIETTERSCHPICH: I CUM BLOOD IN THE THINK TANK (Topheth Prophet /
HCB Records) CD
If Mark Stewart was joining Khanate and Bad Brains were playing black metal, there's a
slight chance that a resemblance to what Lietterschpich (Hebrew for Liter of Cum) has
achieved with their debut album will arise. This bleak digital-doom-dub shriek is bound to
slap the hard-core fans of innovative harsh music Ð It doesn't get more extreme than this!
Featuring members of Barbara and Grave in the Sky, this is highly recommended if you
like Throbbing Gristle, Volt, Stallagh, Menstruation Sisters and White Mice. PRICE: 12 €
LIFE'S DECAY: ANLEVA (Abstraktsens) CD
Second album of Life's Decay. Avantgarde, experimental music. This album is more

LIFE'S DECAY: ART DECAY EXTREMISM (Abstraktsens) CD
Debut album of Life's Decay, influenced by black/doom metal and dark ambient/noise

LIGHT OF SHIPWRECK: FROM THE IDLE CYLINDERS (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
Light Of Shipwreck is a one-man band operated by Ben Fleury-Steiner, a Deleware-based
drone artist and owner of the excellent Gears of Sand Recordings imprint, which has
released discs from some of our favorite ambient/drone/drift artists including Encomiast,
Cordell Klier, and Aidan Baker. It was actually through Aidan Baker that we found out
about Ben's Light Of Shipwreck project; knowing that we're fanatics for "heavy ambient"
sound, Light Of Shipwreck was recommended as something we should check out. At first
expecting something more along the lines of the kind of floating ambient rumble that
marks so much of my favorite Baker solo stuff, I was pleasantly surprised by how
percussive the tracks I heard online from LOS were, the dense, ominous feedback drones
and heavy rumbling ur-riffs floating freely over a mechanistic tribal-rhythm freakout. We
ended up getting in touch with Ben from Light Of Shipwreck and it turned out that he had
a nearly hour-long disc that he wanted to have released through our Crucial Bliss imprint,
and here we are: a three-track full length of rich, crushing power-ambient, titled From The
Idle Cylinders, a reference to the American Objectivist poet George Oppen whose work is
a consistent influence on Light Of Shipwreck's imagery, with huge slabs of resonant sheet
metal shimmering in an ocean of heavenly feedback and reverberating guitar drone, and
surges of droning tribal Krautrock percussion floating along with distorted ambient doom
powerchords and washed out vocal cord bliss, each track running upwards of 20 minutes
19
in length. A totally breathtaking piece of music, like Steve Reich, Brian Eno, Can, and
Earth swirled together into an austere, hypnotizing heavy-trance masterpiece. PRICE: 8 €
LIKE DRONE RAZORS THROUGH FLESH SPHERE: EX NIHILO NIHIL, AD
NIHILUM NIHIL POSSE REVERTI (GOATOWAREX) CD
Innovation, trance, intoxication, drone, ritual. Five rituals never released before in digital
format. Seventy minutes of analogic distorted oozing darkness... a key to the Other Side.
PRICE: 10 €
LINGUA FUNGI TLAPALLAN PANTONAL (WoP) CD
Tlapallan Pantonal is a personal interpretation of Central American mythology. This
album is inspired particulary by the myth of Quetzalcoatl - one of the most important and
greatest gods of Mesoamerican Indians. More than utilizing the sound of native american
music tradition, this record is made entirely around the mood that the Great stories
personally evoked. Sounds vary from purely abstract ambient to acoustic folk passages.
Yet another very interesting record of Lingua Fungi. PRICE: 12 €
LONGING FOR DAWN: ONE LONELY PATH (Twilight Found.) CD
Canada's Longing For Dawn's first full lenght album combines slow, heavy, crushing
rhythms, with deeply melancholic melodies all entwined in eerie atmospheric
soundscapes. With this Longing For Dawn has forged its unique blend of Atmospheric
Doom Metal. PRICE: 10 €
LOSTHEIM: ILLUSION OF PROGRESS (Paranoise) CD
Deep drilling noise constructions made of electromagnetic fieldrecordings inspired by a
hopi prophecy. Electrosmog is a ghost. It's like slippery liquid surrounding your body and
soul. You feel it. You know it's there. But you cannot see it. Now you know what it sounds
like. The strong power will blow your mind. PRICE: 12 €
LT. CARAMEL: EARLY TAPE WORKS (Monochrome Vision) CD
Lieutenant Caramel is the musician and film director at the same time, he shoot movies for
ears with microphone. The continuous search for poetic images, frantic interchange of
subjects, twisted and broken mosaic of fuzzy elements, the breathtaking incoherence of
perception, the mark of primitive life, the total absence of organization and rational
thoughts. All this breathes, moves, obtains the voice and gradually becomes meaningful.
Theatrical view of musique concrète, humorous and surrealistic collection of masterpieces
recorded in the ten years. PRICE: 10 €
LUASA RAELON: INTO THE VOID, (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
Finally, after a pronounced delay, we're presenting the latest in grim, Cthulhian ambient
death from David Reed, the man behind the Snip-Snip CD-R label and the ice-drones of
Envenomist. With Luasa Raelon, Reed uses deep-frozen synthesizers and electronics to
construct pitch-black sonic sculptures that evoke lost cities carved from obsidian whose
masterless machines have been left to grind on into eternity, or descents into stygian pits
whose bottoms cannot be gauged. Into The Void is the newest masterwork from Reed,
recorded in 2006 and presented here as a five-chapter narrative that chronicles a doomed
space exploration, where all that is left are the faint transmissions of apocalyptic dread
drifting back at us through time. Beyond ominous, and gorgeously eerie, Reed continues to
craft some of the blackest, heaviest drift this side of Gruntsplatter, Troum, Lull, Yen Pox,
Melek-Tha, Lustmord, and Megaptera. Into The Void has been released in an edition of
200 copies, packaged in the signature Crucial Bliss foldover sleeve with the disc attached
to the interior on a plastic hub, and featuring some of our best Bliss artwork yet, which
David described as looking like 70's science-fiction art. PRICE: 8 €
LUASA RAELON: THE POISON CITY (Eibon Records) CD
Welcome to the poison city. A place where nuclear radiations colour the sky with green
clouds, mutating vegetation suffocates the sun and asphyxiating miasms coming from
abandoned toxic wastes endanger life......... LUASA RAELON is definitely one of the
most interesting realities of US dark ambient/death industrial scene, combining lowrumbling drones with extemporaneous noise bursts to create a pretty personal &
recognizable sound. PRICE: 12 €
LUIGI TURRA: ENSO (Small Voices) CD
Field recording, electroacoustic, evanescent resonances, minimal acts full of organic
substances, atmospheres finely wrought in the void by impenetrable geometries, evoking
zen gardens (graphically portrayed on the cover with a Roberto Zingales' photo). All these
elements and even more is embodied in this Luigi Turra's project published by
Smallvoices. He's a clever sound designer, modulating contrasts, and describing with
obsessive care circular universes (expressed by the Japanese language term 'enso'). It's a
project that, in settings and drafting, somehow follows the intercultural research
concerning writings and languages of the world, previously started in projects developed
together with Gianluca Becuzzi (here he's the executive producer). Three tracks, dilated in
suggestive and aesthetic scores, escaping on one hand the emphasis and reflecting it on the
other hand like in a mirror, alerting our listening experience on every possible tone.
(Aurelio Cianciotta) PRICE: 12 €
LULL: COLLECTED (Manifold Records) CD

album blends together Eastern and European influences in an alchemical creation
produced by top-notch musicianship and a strong soprano voice. PRICE: 10 €

MAGWHEELS: LANTERNS (Mechanoise Labs) CD-R
A powerful and eloquent release that combines the best aspects of lucious textures,
melancholic processed guitars and well-used noises. Reminiscent of some Controlled
Bleeding material around their "Songs from the ashes" period, the disc gradually explores
different directions without losing its focus on its warm and particular sound. Emotional
and vibrant at times, calm and thoughtful at others, "Lanterns" casts its light across 8
tracks, capturing both the brightness and the shadows, the melodies and the dissonance.

Limited cd-r pressing of the Feel Free conceptual cassette released in an absurdly limited
edition wooden crate in the late 90's by Southern extreme noise and abyssal drone artist
Eric Crowe (MARAX). Painfully intense power electronic love. These tracks are blistering
high-frequency wipeouts with a nervous sense of humor...much different but no less
adventurous than the cavernous blackened droneworks of his more recent material. 12
tracks of sweetness. PRICE: 8 €

MARTYN BATES & TROUM: TO A CHILD, DANCING IN THE WIND
(Transgredient Records) CD
For this release, the German ‘transcendental-drone’-duo TROUM teams up with the
legendary British singer / songwriter and EYELESS IN GAZA-member MARTYN
BATES. More than 2 years in the making, MARTYN BATES has sung & played (mouth
organ & melodica) over basic material TROUM provided – consisting of harmonic
minimal loops & basic song structures derived from accordeon, e-bass & guitar,
percussion), who were then also responsible for the final subsequent additions mastering
(adding more guitar-work, voices & balalaika). MARTYN BATES has chosen to sing four
poems of the famous Irish poet W.B.YEATS, and he did this with a most impressive
sensitivity for TROUM'S very sublime & rather hidden harmonic structures. There are
also two instrumentals in a more experimental style on this disc, one being a dark drone
reprise of the main piece “MAD AS THE MIST AND SNOW #2”. MARTYN’s voice is
surely not something for everyone – it’s of an extreme emotional & yearnful quality that
might be not easy to stand – a yearning which is like a deep “cry out to the horizon”, to
20
something that is unreachable per se, feeling a passion that tears you apart inside. This is
pure emotional poetry transformed into yearnful audible spherics! PRICE: 13 €

Electronic Voice Phenomena. An attempt at evoking that numinous realm." PRICE: 6 €
MATHIAS GRASSOW, AMIR BAGHIRI, RUDIGER GLEISBERG: ARCANUM
(Faria) CD
This is rerelease of legendary masterpiece from 3 famous german composers.

arcanum of excellent music. Mathias Grassow fills compositions his special deep mood
drone ambient. Amir Baghiri adds his hypnotic percussions and Rudiger Gleisberg plays
wonderful cosmic electronics. It will enjoyable to all music lovers! Previously released by
Amplexus label as ltd of 500 copies at 1998 and totally sold out few years ago. Now
rereleased with two bonus tracks, and luxury pack with artworks of Markus Vogt with
several cards inside. "Arcanum" is a deep ritualistic journey from Mathias Grassow,
Rudiger Gleisberg and Amir Baghiri. The deep minimalist soundscapes reflect the diverse
influences that these three performers bring to the table. Techno tribal passages, deep
synth drones, dark atmospheres and arid desert ethnicities fill every corner of this
soundworld. The density of the gray soundscape is otherworldly. I found myself
journeying to foreign lands and exotic locales, some beyond our atmosphere. I went
willingly as the deep rhythms and dark drones seduced me and prepared me for anything. I
had a very powerful cleansing experience. Amir's deep desert washes, Mathias' spiritual
manipulations and Rudiger's dark drones surrounded me safely and warmly as we
explored the darker sides of my psyche. That protection empowered me to look beyond the
dark to see the light on the other side of my inner self. Finally, refreshed and rejuvenated,
we returned to the here and now. I look forward to more journeys with this trio of master
electronicians.” PRICE: 12 €

METACONQUEROR: BANISHMENT OF THE UNFORSAKEN (Somnambulant
Records) CD-R
A night sky populated with strange and unfamiliar constellations, the landscape below one
of forgotten lakes isolated among broken crags, strangled by the hideous growth of an
ageless wood. The solitary human domain centered around the ruin of a fallen cathedral,
its remains picked over for meager building material in the hope of warding off an
unspoken curse with consecrated stone. Metaconqueror answers a call from deep within
this still wilderness. A subtle mixture of black ambience and power electronics,
"Banishment of the Unforsaken" has been plagued by misfortune, but finally finds the

Michael Mantra and Charlz De La Casa. A cd of suspended time and space... 'classical'
static music. Two long tracks flow like sonic lava, weaving together lush background
washes, and evocative field recordings. Dark electric sounds, beautiful drones, inner-Earth

frequencies are employed. With headphones, this cd has a stunning drug-like effect. An
updated classic. PRICE: 12 €

in thought as the Militia machine plays in the background. Musically, the live dynamic
adds a raw edge, crossing over between post industrial soundscapes, tape loops and the
requisite percussion from oil barrels, large metal plates, tubes suspended on chains, a full
metal radiator, empty gas tanks, concentional drums and timpani, wind instruments, and a
cement mixer. In conjuction with our comrades at Tactical. PRICE: 9 €
MINDSPAWN: NULL INFINITE (Inner Gravity Records) CD
Null Infinite is an introduction into the myriad worlds of sound explored by the artist,
Mindspawn. Prepare yourself for an intense journey through aural worlds of the past,
future, and the recesses of the collective conscious. The compositions on Null Infinite span
styles from dark ritual ambience to epic neo-classic offerings. As one listens to this CD,
the sound twists, flexes, and moves across the sound stage like a living thing, for it is
alive. At times, serene and inviting, the songs create surreal sonic landscapes that immerse
the listener into a variety of states of consciousness. However, these soundscapes are more
than they first appear... much more. Within these seemingly calm washes of sound lurk
bizarre and alien denizens, scenes from ancient times, horrific visions of death and decay,
the vast coldness of deep space, lustful drones of primal ecstacy, and things which defy
articulate description. The sounds on this CD are not for the meek or timid. Null Infinite is
intended for seekers, both inward and outward, that do not fear treading untraveled
ground. There are no predefined road maps to guide one through these worlds of living
sound. Guidance only exists as the ever seductive call of the unknown. To generalize, the
CD is dark in nature, but even in its ominous portent, there is still something defiant,
unyielding, and hopeful that refuses to fully embrace the simple definition of dark. This is
the deeper, richer, and infinitely more vast darkness that howls at the whole of humanity
from its singular point at the heart of our Universe. The Null Infinite.... PRICE: 6 €

MOLJEBKA PVLSE: SADALSUUD (Some Place Else) CD
For this album Mathias Josefson, a sound-artist from Stockholm, collaborated with a
number of his colleagues who provided him various source sounds to work with. The
name Sadalsuud refers to a star of the same name in the constellation of Aquarius. The
name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the
album is rather earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at times.
The sound is vaguely reminiscent of some works by Nurse With Wound, Maeror Tri or
The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka Pvlse feel. An unsuspecting prelistener described Sadalsuud as "a visit to a supposedly haunted house, though only once
you've entered the house you begin to grasp the real meaning of haunting." PRICE: 12 €
MONOID: CHAOS CONSTRAIN (Tosom) CD-R

colour cover, multiple inlays including the original cover art and multiple bonus tracks.
Only minimal sound editing and de-noising was applied to the material to keep the original
raw spirit of these first Monoid documents. After the good resonance of “Open Closure”,
“Chaos Constrain”, the second Monoid tape, was released at the end of 1996. Here the
seeds of the first tape are followed and further developed. This includes more minimal and
abstract tracks where the only instrument seems to be the feedback of an undistinguishable
sound source as well as song-like structures with spoken lyrics. The sound itself is more
digital this time, using a broader variety of synthesizers and percussion modules. Still,
hard rhythms, distortions and samples are still dominant in this release. The bonus material
of the TOSOM re-release features among others an extended version of the experimental
fragments used on the original tape. PRICE: 7 €

Records) CD-R

presents a homicidal narrative through the medium of death-industrial, placing the listener
at a barren locale on the fringe of the city, in the playground of a killer amid society's
refuse. The story progresses in grainy black and white... The Kuru side of the split tells of
a similar compulsion but changes the setting to that of a primordial wilderness where
instinct supercedes logic. The gods came down from the sky, dream-state gives way to
bloody necessity, your body is not your own, all flesh belongs to the tribe...the ritual is
joined... PRICE: 8 €

New on Black Plagve! Every now and then you need a good old fashioned noise record to
cleanse the system. Not one of the tired, garden Japanese variety, but rather a delerious
racket delivered with precision and control and with the iron willed determination of a
Swedish maniac. This is a cattle prod jolt to the system, leaving in it's wake a distinct
burning sensation followed by the dull roar of frazzled nerve endings. There are no
subtleties, no ambient interludes, just a twisted mass of metal and chaos screaming at the
top of it's lungs. Nothing but intensity. In handsome digipak. PRICE: 10 €

walking dead. The visions of Cooper are seen, heard and felt in this avant-garde and
exquisitely dark ambient album from Musterion, Simon AA Kölle (Za Frûmi, Abnocto).
The Black Lodge is a place of murder, dreams, mystery, darkness, ancient machines, old
memories and horror. A shrieking violin swells into a chaotic babel of sound; a
pandemonium that would have lead most men to doubt their own shaking sanity.
Inarticulate cries that only mutes can utter, and that rises only in moments of the most
terrible fear or anguish. With extreme attention to details this profound opus of the mind
leads the listener away from the normal world and into the world of the Black Lodge.

confessed war against the routine that had made infernal fools of their beloved

aural landscape. 'Imprints' is the fifth CD album from Necrophorus/Peter Andersson

Peter Nystrom, the creator of the legendary “death industrial” project “Megaptera”, even

industrial music ideology and form. Inspired by the Nordic civilization Swedish man
makes samples from the rates spreading of the iron mills and machines, as well as of
different industry equipment functioning or failed, builds the massive rhythms from
recorded sounds, transfers the sullen, frozen and oppressive industrial esthetics. Some of
his works are of the lo-fi quality. The creator is striving to it on purpose, as the lo-fi often
conveys the brutality and surly atmosphere better. Most suitable for the creation of such
atmosphere are those festivals where the factor of coincidence or improvisation is
constantly pending. Negru Voda “Unplugged” is one of such live records implementing
the massive and brutal Nordic industrial philosophy, where the remixed tracks contain
arduous, Scandinavian rhythm and dark psychedelic pulse generated by manipulations of
the weird samples. The sounds of “Unplugged” were recorded during the festival
ICETODIRON in Vilnius on 11 December 2004. PRICE: 12 €

NETHERWORLD KALL: THE ABYSS WHERE DREAMS FALL (Angle.Rec) CD
Always concerned with pushing even further its explorations on the side of ‘’drone’’
drifts, angleREC adds to its parallel series, that is the MONDES ELLIPTIQUES label, a
new release in the form of the first official CD production of Italian project
NETHERWORLD. This CD has the rather evocative title of ''KALL - The Abyss Where
Dreams Fall''. Alessandro Tedeschi’s project previously gained a fair share of attention
with CDR or mini-CDR releases on fine labels such as UMBRA, GEARS OF SAND,
TAALEM/KOKESHIDISK! Alessandro also runs the GLACIAL MOVEMENTS label,
which gave us, in 2006, the acclaimed CRYOSPHERE compilation. In a tradition that is
anchored, at the same time, in avant-garde, ritual soundz and dark-ambient, with a
typically Italian touch, NETHERWORLD gives a peculiarly and elegantly organic and
palpable feel to sounds that, in the hands of others, would maybe fall flat …and it is as if
the sound universe conjured by the magic of NETHERWORLD was strangely…how
could one say? OCCUPIED. Each moment, eac h twist and turn of this sound adventure
bears infinite richness and elasticity, at all times …those are rather ‘busy’ sound layers but
each of the elements has sufficient breathing space and can differentiate itself from the
other surrounding components. This antagonism represents one of NETHERWORLD’s
greatest strengths. Another noteworthy antagonism: this tendency to propose us ambiences
that are excessively introspective, subdued, withdrawn into themselves, but which, at the
same time, expand, subtly dilate to occupy an incommensurable space. Upon the first
notes (or pulses??) of the opening track, ‘’KALL’’, this infinite abyss, envelops us and our
dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent themselves…The sound propositions found on’’KALL’’
have enough movement and density to please the ones fond of depth in their music, but the
overall ‘purified’ feel will please the most discerning purist. For the occasion, MONDES
ELLIPTIQUES once again used the mastering talents of JOHN SELLEKAERS @
METARC and it is CHRISTIAN SA LETTE who put his savoir-faire in our service for the
design of the sleeve and images. PRICE: 12 €
NEVER PRESENCE FOREVER: DISTURBED VISCERAL NOCICEPTION
(Crionic Mind) CD
NEVER PRESENCE FOREVER unravel slowly with a profoundly well conceived album
of Bleak Minimalism and Dark Ambience. To this foundation they add somniferous hints
of melody, abrasion and rhythmic punctuation. Rich textural drifts and detailed
craftsmanship give this release a enveloping penetration and depth. NPF has a few limited
releases but "Disturbed Visceral Nociception" is the marks the first widely available
release. NEVER PRESENCE FOREVER's Andrew Westerhouse also runs
AVERSIONLINE eZine. PRICE: 8 €
NEW RISEN THRONE / CRUEL HARVEST: SHADOWS OVER HUMANITY
(God is Myth) CD
3 brand new tracks from Italian dark ambient master New Risen Throne, plus the debut of
U.S. dark ambient project Cruel Harvest. 7 tracks total and over an hour of icy cold and
treacherous dark ambient soundscapes for fans of Raison D'etre, Northaunt, Svartsinn &
Atrium Carceri.
For those familiar with NEW RISEN THRONE you are probably already aware of this
artists catalog of releases thru various underground labels such as ALARMING ECHO
BEATS (USA), DESERTED FACTORY (JAPAN) and of course, GOD IS MYTH
RECORDS (USA). These particular 3 tracks show the project (perpetuated by the one who
goes only by the name of STIELH) moving into even more dark and sinister territory. This
is trademark NEW RISEN THRONE. Albeit with a bleak sense of ‘black’ ambient mixed
with cold and eerie ‘voices from some far off abyss’. Add to this the suffocating, trance
inducing industrial sounds and you will soon realize that you cannot escape these
“Shadows over Humanity” PRICE: 9 €
NIHIL T NADA: MUSICA FLORA MANICA (Organic Pipeline) CD-R

and harsh noise. Nihil T Nada appeared on "Noise Decay - Noises and Such from

NIKO SKORPIO: ESCAPE FROM HEAVEN (Some Place Else) CD
Escape from Heaven is the fruit of a lengthy period of hard work, the music has been
composed in 2000-2005. The musick could be described as 'industrial', mostly because it
pays homage to the early Industrial groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil or Psychic TV
by being a wide-ranged beast of experimentation as well as fusion of diverse styles.
Skorpio's wide-ranged musical background shines through in Escape from Heaven; from
the deep dark ambient soundscapes of last year's The Hidden Nameless album, down to
the cult bands Thergothon and This Empty Flow that Niko formed in the 90's. Despite the
rather diverse contents, Escape from Heaven is musically a solid package. Escape from
Heaven also carries a loose storyline that can be interpreted in occult, mythological, social
and personal levels. Basically the album is a Manifesto of personal Liberation and a
declaration of war against all forces of boredom and stagnation. PRICE: 10 €
NIKO SKORPIO: TO GIVE LIGHT TO THAT WHICH IS WITHOUT (Some
Place Else) CD-R

NIMH: THE UNKEPT SECRETS (Silentes) CD
Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) sets aside the ethnic-lysergic visions that have characterized
the previous album and continues along the distance of sonorous search and fascinating
experimentation electronic, already undertaken with works which "The Impossible Days"
and "Subterranean Thoughts", ulteriorly expanding just the range of sounds and
instruments set, revealing the own "secrets" through new, dark but stylistically a
unclassifiable CD, in which it arranges with extraordinary originality and in an absolutely

field recordings, and enriching in particular every track with the recurrent presence of
evocative sounds of electric guitar in varied filtered and elaborated way. The search goes
on...PRICE: 12 €

tonalities and outdoor field recordings which makes this Northaunt's most haunting release
so far. PRICE: 12 €
NORTHAUNT: THE OMINOUS SILENCE (Fluttering Dragon) CD
The name of the band was taken from Edogawa Ranpo's novel and represents the great
fascination and inspiration in the oriental culture which reflects in Nicolas d. Faure music beautiful deep ethno-ambient soundscapes composed like an original soundtrack with

electronic sounds. A strange delicate mix of nature sounds, space moods and oriental
touches turns this album appealing to the fans of Lustmord and Dead Can Dance! PRICE:
12 €
NOS: NOT OTHERWISE SPECIFIED (Manifold Records) CD
Creeping structures of slow darkhop; the haunted psychedelic mechanism of genius beats
and textures wedded into one seamless, unforgettable flight. The debut release from this
highly regarded Swiss duo tips it's hat to Mick Harris' Scorn and Quoit projects, runs the
same streets as Ocosi, Mothboy and Submerged, but cuts through even vaster, more
downtempo nether-regions of chewy, soul-kissing grooves. Slower and more melancholy
than any of it's contemporaries, NOS rules a certain kingdom in that universe, an empire of
darker rivers, less light and active shadows. PRICE: 9 €
NOTHING: THE SPINE OVERSHADOWED BY THE ROPE (Triumvirate) CD

records and tracks for labels such as Polimorf, Irma, 66 Rec. and Quantize Records,
covering a wide range of styles. Other activities also include involvement in a number of
live activities and audio-visual installations across Italy. Another noteworthy item is his
interest in analog modular synthesizers which borders on that of a devout scientist to his
laboratory. But enough chatter, what does the release sound like? Well, like what you'd
expect from "power noise" in a parallel world where things would live up to their names.
PRICE: 5 €
NO XIVIC: UNEKSIJA (Onyxia) CD
no Xivic is the dreamweaver of nightmares, the nookleptia of reality, pushing the walls of
isolation closer to the heart and giving hope for the mind to enter a new world of skin. The
crackling soundscapes of dark ambient crawls slowly down the spine and gnaws on the
apple of bitterness before the fractures of noise splinters like frozen flowers of all dreams.
To assimilate is to dream and to dream is to contemplate and no Xivic is the cure that
supresses the symptoms via its magical structures of chemical interaction. PRICE: 12 €

First CD on Zone de Confusion, a subdivision of Nuit et Brouillard aiming at reissuing
sold-out tapes, CD-R or vinyls previously released on limited editions. Objekt/Urian is a
german duo working with selfmade instruments and old electronics. Their music is a great
mixture of dark atmospheric soundscapes and power-electronics with a strong old-school
industrial touch at one and the same time original, melodic and powerful ... Tonfragmente
II includes selected sound fragments from their self-released debut tape and debut CD-R
plus some bonus material. Their universe is cold, but never a depressing one and handled
themes such as control and manipulation, information treatment, or some reflections on
history -and even on own country history- have the ability to let feelings and thoughts

band was programmed at the fifth Deadly Actions festival in november 2002. Totally
remastered sound from original recordings by Hermétique. PRICE: 9 €
OBLIVION ENSEMBLE : SERAPHIM HALLUCINO (Malignant) CD
The music of Oblivion Ensemble remains as elusive and surreal as the ever-shifting cast of
musicians and performerswho participate, knowingly, or unknowingly in their
work.Founding members are John Bergstrom and Brannon Hungness (aka Figure).
Hungness is a virtuoso experimentalguitarist and composer and a former member of the
Glenn Branca Ensemble. Bergstrom is a computer-musicgearhead and a film composer
with a classical music pedigree, and mastermind behind the industrial-noise assembly
Torse. Seraphim Hallucino is Oblivion Ensemble’s fifth full-length release, the first since
the virtual opera “Nightmare:Sinistrotorse” (Complacency, 1995). At Seraphim
Hallucino’s source are strange, electro-acoustic improvisations of percussion, trumpet,
voice, synthesizers and guitar. These improvisations are sculpted and sampled, twisted and
turned, shaped into building and diminishing moments, and, at times appearing alone, pure
and unmodified. Deeply imbedded in the music and fragmented lyrics are secrets,
intertwining themes, voices, and imprinted messages. All come together to create an
enormously complex, mercurial mix of surreal, dynamic and dark sounds. To fully
appreciate the scope and intricacies of Seraphim Hallucino, headphones in a darkened
room are highly recommended. “ The band most likely to compose a fitting soundtrack for
the end of the world. ” Sorted magAZine.“ Visionary gothic pyschedelia. ” The Wire“ the
most undefinable gorgeous musical anything that I have ever witnessed, a beyond great
performance, chilling and anxious. ” Best of Times.PRICE:12€
NO XIVIC: YKSITYISYYS (Onyxia) CD
After three years of austerity and hard work, "Yksityisyys" finally cracks the living
daylight. H. Kyllönen's second coming is his most idiosyncratic and convoluted album to
date, hence the title "Yksityisyys". "Yksityisyys" is the quality present in a thing or person
that gives intense pleasure & deep satisfaction to the mind, arising from sensory
manifestations (such as shape, color and sound), a meaningful design and pattern. PRICE:
12 €
OCOSI: HERE AND LOATHING (Manifold Records) CD
Step into the frenzied, rhythmic nightmare, ornamented scenes from living life in the
blurred shadows. From the wierd, small opening of the disc, we fall deeper into 'Carrier', a
strained, surreal signal from the depths that dissolves into the horror-movie scenery of
'Insex'. About seven other heavily crafted and chosen pieces flow and blast and dissolve
out into a lake of fire, the conclusion leaving the listener hanging onto the edge of
nothingness. Ocosi, for those who haven't been sucked in yet, make creeping, sublime
darkhop like Scorn but with faster, edgier beats and more ambient downturns. Unexpected
changes and catchy patterns collide into unique forms. Those who enjoyed the Radius
Suck compilation, or Economi$ed will want to know that Ocosi or artists in Ocosi
probably made half of the tracks on the former and a quarter of the sounds on the latter.
These guys, Paul Molyneaux and Simon Smerdon are probably the absolute best at this
darkhop right now. Their releases unfairly few and far between. Here's one of the best you
will ever find. PRICE: 9 €
NYANANG PHELGYELING MONASTERY INNER HEALING (RITUAL CHANT
& MUSIC OF TIBET) (Fonix) CD

can be calmed and healed." T.D. Lakha Lama Recorded in Mantziussalen, Denmark in
September 1997. PRICE: 12 €
OLHON: SINKHOLE (Eibon Records) CD
A cooperative effort of Massimo Magrini (mastermind of the genious BAD SECTOR) and
Zairo (of the ultra-obscure dark ambient travellers WHERE). "Sinkhole" was composed
using original field recordings taken (mainly underwater) in the "Pozzo del Merro", the
world's deepest sinkhole. The result is an extremely organic, almost "breathing" dark
ambient journey. Very challenging, that's for sure..... Nobody knows what lies in the
abyss. Just sit down and listen to the sound of the earth's depths. PRICE: 12 €
OLHON: UNDERWATER PASSAGE (Eibon Records) CD

The field-recording maestros are back with an album based upon processed underwater
recordings made using special sensing microphones attached to an abandoned telephone

OMENYA: THE DARK MEDITATIONS (Tantric Harmonies) CD
Omenya is a project by Mark Davis, an American multi-media artist. The music on this
album never becomes wild or spectacular, just minimal, rather distant ritual ambient
music. Important influences in the work of Omenya are early Zovie*France and later
Rapoon. Organic and electronic means together create a quite interesting soundscape.
PRICE: 12 €
OND: S/T (Inner Gravity Records) CD
Artist statement: “Önd is the primal force, the power of life, the breath that gives life. The
music is very much influenced by this and such the name was chosen. It deals with lot of
low frequencies which is in connection with the breath and chanting work I do, not that I
go into the studio and chant while recording... Önd for me is the obvious mix of science
and spirituality, and how they are the same in many ways, especially mathematically. I do
not know how I came upon math, I just realized one day it was everything and it has
become a major influence in Önd. I am not trying to say anything or at least anything new
with this project. This project is just one aspect of my personal perception of the deeper
and more open experience of existence. i.e. it is the manifestation, through my self, of the
primal force” PRICE: 6 €
ONE FOR JUDE FIGURES (Infinite Fog Prod.) CD
From first minutes, music full a melancholy and romanticism, will transfer you deeply, to
the farthest, warm, and probably for a long time the lost memoirs. Where it will want to

MEGAPTERA and LUSTMORD. PRICE: 8 €
ONIROT: DEUS EX MACHINA (Inner Gravity Records) CD
This is the last chapter of the Onirot trilogy. Dark, deep and early ancient star filled
landscapes, which nothing but the wail of souls dares investigate. These VITRIOL depths,
heart-wrenching and inhuman to an ordinary state of consciousness, appear in aweinspiring beauty that renders speechless, when mastered on the plane of the triumph of the
will. A great mixture between early CIACINTO SCELSI e BELA BARTOK musical
experience. PRICE: 9 €
ONTAYSO: ELOCHIM (Tantric Harmonies) CD + CD-R
"Elochim" is the second album of Ontayso, after the great 'Score of an Imaginary Iceland'
on U-cover 40, inspired by the work of strip artist Moebius. The music is soft and tranquil,
but with experimental compositions and a lot of tension underneath. PRICE: 12 €
ONTAYSO: MAGICAL TONE TRICKS (Silentes) CD
Magical Tone Tricks was created during the silent night hours as Ontayso's third full
lenght album and their ninth release since their birth in 2002. Ontayso frequently
collaborates with several musicians and acts but for this release Ontayso exists mainly by
their two core members Koen Lybaert and Esther Santoyo. For this release Ontayso has
been mainly focused on electronic manipulations and field recordings. The overall
atmosphere spread over the 4 long tracks come close to the well known early Basic
Channel sound. Magical Tone Tricks still keeps it's unique experimental Ontayso sound. It
is their response to the excellent Rod Modell's releases on Silentes and shows their mutual
love for this early 90ties Berlin sound and their joy of working with field recordings and
minimal sound manipulations. PRICE: 12 €
OOPHOI & FARYUS: FORGOTTEN RITUALS (Faria Records) CD
Collaboration work between Oophoi and Faryus.
This project is a deep meditation about forgotten civilizations and mystery of endless life.
This music is created for deep listening. At first sight this music is static. If you will listen
to it in a superficial way, you don't get all the hidden sounds and textures, but if you go
into a serious deep listening you'll discover that it is not static at all this is powerful mood
music. This music full of pictures, moods and thoughts, voices of forgotten civilizations..
PRICE: 12 €
OOPHOI: THE RUSTLING OF LEAVES (Faria Records) CD
Originally this album was issued on CD-R in a limited edition of 150 copies only. It has
been sold out very fast and deleted. Now this release has new quality studio mastering and
a bonus track, which supplements organically the conceptual picture of the album, and
special artwork: a cover with a centre spread and 6 cards inside – thereby each track has
also an art idea. The album has been created in a classical Oöphoi-style. Sound collages
and moods remind of his early works, such as "Spirals of time" and "Three lights at the
end of the world". The music immerses the listener in autumn-winter landscapes, when
nature has already fallen asleep, and winter is about to cover vivid autumn clothes with its
white blanket. The ghostly female vocal in the first track sets the necessary aspect of
perception at once, and after that listeners should only enjoy the different sides of autumn
mood and drown into the world full of magic, peace and calmness. PRICE: 12 €
OOPHOI: THE SPIRALS OF TIME (Faria Records) CD
We happy to present the new version of the most famous album of the great Italian master.
"The Spirals of Time" is considered the best of Oophoi's albums, also it has been
recognized as one of the best drone-ambient projects of all times. Now this legendary
album contains 3 CD!
Surprisingly, but materials of this project is a records from two concerts, which was played
in own studio of the maestro, in the "Kiva", in April and in June, 1997. The third disk is a
record from a concert which was played in old farmhouse in city Assisi (the central Italy)
in 1999. This record as though was initially created to become a finishing disk of this
trilogies. Here you will find new ideas and new development of conception, however
"classical" soundings of "The Spirals of Time" is kept. PRICE: 24 €
Ô PARADIS: LA BOCA DEL INFIERNO (Punch Records) CD
"La Boca Del Infierno " (Hell's Mouth) is by far the darkest and most suffered album by Ô
Paradis. As tracks go on you sink in a sort of dantesque circle, the boundary between joy
and suffering,life and death, where Eros and Thanatos melt and become the same thing.
The cover couldn't be more explicative!Is this the door to life and joy or isn't it more true
that it's the door to hell and its torments? Here Ô Paradis laid himself bare. Sounds have
become more industrial and dreary than ever. The warm and melancholic mediterranean
ballads, dear to the heart of the catalan project, get oriented in more experimental
directions; here melancholy leads to a truly dark and choking anguish. PRICE: 12 €
OPERAE SPERERAE / OPUS SOMNIFEROUS: SPLIT (Goodnight Moon Music)
CD
This is the first release of Goodnight Moon Music as a split full length CD between
Operae Spererae, and Opus Somniferous- the two being creations revolving around the
music of Opion Somnium. These two projects were recorded at the Maple St. studio from
May- July of 2004, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Many local musicians participated in
this collaboration with Opion Somnium and made the creation this possible. From these
two lengthy ep's that happened simultaneously in one busy summer, this split full length
emerges as a beautiful movement of music and a new chapter in the book of Opion
Somnium, that soars with a grand sense of hope, and is the beginning of Goodnight Moon
Music. PRICE: 12 €
OPIUM: ALGORITHMS (Silentes) CD
A stunning new offering by Opium. Classically elegant and extremely refined ambient
music. Multi-dimensional sounds that are warm and enveloping. An emotional travelogue,
starting dramatically, then taking the listener down a slower path, comfortably easing you
into a long and fascinating sonic trip, where the sounds grow wide and large, and finally
crumble inward, then regenerate, returning for another phase. A new sonic alchemy, and
an entirely new world of soothing sounds for the adventurous listener to visit. PRICE: 12 €
OPIUM: SYMPATHETIC FLYING OBJECTS (Silentes) CD
Another extraordinary journey to past, present and future... Ancient instruments sounds,
rhythmic ritual progressions, ancestral visions... But present nightmares too, electronic
tensions, obscure inner conflicts... And a restless glance to the future... An ambient-rituals
new music pearl. PRICE: 12 €
ORDO TYRANNIS: VASA INIQUITATIS (Flood The Earth) CD
Scorched industrial dirge from members of subterranean black metal troupe Black Funeral,
sounding to our ears like some debauched mutation of GODFLESH's Streetcleaner gone
ambient funeral doom cabaret, like the score for some hellish, buried black mass
happening in the dampest corners of your basement at 2am, or themes for a plagueinfested carnival. Either way, this is some sinister shit. Spartan, dubbed out drums linger
somewhere back in the shadows while the vocalist invokes negative energy over a
framework of carnivalesque, martial post-punk/avant-industrial played by bone machines.
Listening to this is like staring into a vast black maw of total dankness. Not really "heavy",
but definitely evil, unsettling stuff, and summons similiar vibes as the recent batch of
outsider-black metal weirdness we've landed from Supernal...fans of Benighted Leams,
Emit, Esoteric, and similiar pitch-black clang and demonic atmosphere would do well to
check this out. PRICE: 12 €
ORGANIZED RESISTANCE: THE DAY OF THE ROPE (FA) CD
Three-member unit delivers the most violent and aggressive power electronics highly
influenced by the notorious book The Turner Diaries. Organized Resistance presents views
on the U.S. racial situation more explicitly than has ever been heard within the realm of
power electronics. Aggressive vocals of Brethren spit like fire on top of painful but varied
sounds. Definitely not for sensitive humanists! You have been warned! Includes
professionally printed cardboard box covers and 4 inserts with all lyrics. PRICE: 12 €
ORPHAX: SAND IN BOXES (Verato Project) CD-R
Sand in Boxes is the second CD-R by Orphax where he explores the variety in ambient
drones and noise drones. This album is build up from sound from field recordings, guitar,
melodica and computer processing. It is a journey into the darker aspects of ambient.

O.T.X is a much talented 26-year-old Anglo-Italian composer whose first album "Escape"
-original, mature and really efficient- Influenced by such soundtracks composers as Hanz
Zimmer, Michael Kamen, Kenji Kawai and Jocelyn Pook, as well as experimental music
pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry, Philip Glass or Tangerine Dream, or even
Orbital, Autechre, The Orb, Aphex Twin and LFO … Together with French filmmaker
25
Stéphane Berla, German photographer Katrin Gutershausen, graphic designer Mathieu
Orioli, O.T.X has created a work of pure imagination that could be seen as the bizarre
encounter between two worlds dear to O.T.X: music and cinema; thus, the artist perceives
his own opus in terms of "cinematographic sounds" or "musical images", and skilfully
mixes electronica rhythms with strangely innocent voices and special effects "from outer
space". But O.T.X is also a highly explosive encounter between different musical trends
like industrial, dark ambient, trance and drum'n'bass… With "Escape", O.T.X manages to
create a multitude of disquieting virtual worlds, where the listener may endlessly get
lost… The album, including excellent remixes by Oil 10 and Displacer and a video for
"Weapons Factory" by Stéphane Berla, is a kind of musical experiment that may forecast a
new era for dark ambient electronica… PRICE: 12 €

go. PRICE: 11 €
OVRO: MOSAICK THE SERPENT / VIPERA AUREA (SPE) CD
The new Ovro album consists of two distinct parts, each independent yet linked to each
other. Ovro started working on Mosaick the Serpent already in late 2003. In the early stage
it was to become an independent EP, but the appearance of Gegendurchgangenzeit delayed
its release. Meanwhile, a companion EP started to take form, namely Vipera Aurea. These
two EPs, Mosaick and Vipera, are twins – independent yet entwined like the snakes of a
caduceus. They support and compliment each other and form a new whole, a third being
that contains both its makers and in itself is something more. Vipera Aurea is ´coagula´ to
Mosaick the Serpent's ´solve´. Some of this material has been performed on Ovro's live
performances in 2005/06. Those lucky to have witnessed any of these will know the album
is calm yet intense, vocal-flavoured Dark Ambient mindscapes in the highly regarded
Ovrian style. PRICE: 11 €

OZYMANDIAS : LES DOUTES ETERNELS (Ramses Records) CD
After five albums, Christophe Terrettaz as Ozymandias returns with "Les Doutes Eternels"
("Eternal Doubts"), which was inspired by and Edward Sheriff Curtis' exhibition. Here the
classical Swiss pianist transcribed the emotions the exhibit inspired in him, transporting
their sad resonance into the modern world, and in turn creating a somber yet melodic
reflection of humanity: how mankind treats its planet and its fellow man. Stark in it's
structure yet warm in tonality, "Les Doutes Eternels" is an achievement in contemplative
aestheticism. PRICE: 10 €

PAUL BRADLEY AND CRIA CUERVOS: MORAINES (Sileat) CD-R

collaborate here to produce a work that like the title suggests, is heard to shift, crack and

Moraines. PRICE: 12 €

usually sings a made-up phonetical language)! Did I mention this CD is 90 minutes
long??? That's right, the last track actually contains two different mono songs, one in the

isn't a bad place to start. PRICE: 12 €

PSYCHON: APOCALYPSE HAS BEEN DUBBED THE WEEKEND PILL
(Scarcelight Recordings) CD
Apocalypse has been dubbed the weekend pill is the first cd by the Dutch group formerly
known as Psychon Troopers, an incarnation that previously delivered six cd's. The
musicians in Psychon are Lars Meijer, Jantijn Prins and Coen Polack. Lars Meijer and
Coen Polack are also in charge of the Narrominded recordlabel and the two of them make
music as Living Ornaments. Prince's brand of funk, rock according to Guided by Voices,
German and British electronica and the free spirit of John Coltrane are but a small taste of
influences that make up the new Psychon cd. 'Apocalypse has been dubbed the weekend
pill' has been recorded on and off over the last two years. As a result two years of
collective musical influences and ideas have been given a place in this music. Freejazz,
krautrock, ambient, electronica and arenarock are concurring to remain in focus and while
doing so they form interesting hybrids. To give an example: this cd without a doubt
contains the most exciting guitarsolo in electronica today. The titles of the tracks on this
record originate in spam-mailmessages. With some bewilderment the members of Psychon
have collected the most amazing mail-subjects and advertisements from the world of
gloomy pharmacy, penile enlargement and corporate selfhelp-courses. PRICE: 12 €

PUISSANCE: BACK IN CONTROL (Equilibrium Music) CD
Following the awe-inspiring debut "Let Us Lead", Puissance would return a couple of
years later to unleash "Back In Control", a cynical tribute to human evolution and how
such evolution inevitably seems to dictate the end of the World and mankind's own
extinction. The impending man-made apocalypse which Söderlund obsessively narrates is
superbly illustrated by epic martial compositions, to which the pace is set by loud
marching drums and Industrial percussion. A compelling work of art, that would bring
Industrial music to a new climax thanks to the glorious Neo-Classical arrangements that
Puissance have developed for the album. PRICE: 12 €
PUISSANCE: GRACE OF GODL (Equilibrium Music) CD
Three years after "State Collapse", the cogwheels on the Puissance-warmachine have been
fine-tuned and put to work again, in a crushing motion that seems to be as defiant and
innovative as ever. Forerunners in blending post-Industrial soundscapes with seemingly
Wagnerian inspired classical scores, the Swedish duo's controversial portrayal of human
life often tends to raise a mix of conflicting feelings towards them. Musically, "Grace of
God" could well be referred to as a re-definition of the currently over-abused Martial-Pop
term, yet Puissance's own superior combination of sumptuous Neo-Classical and Industrial
elements raises any potential Pop anthem to an entirely distinct level. More melodic and
vocal-oriented than before, this latest opus also comes to expose a more rhythmic
approach that had been hinted at in previous releases, but which has now morphed into a
powerful and relentless driving force in Söderlund and Möller's compositions.
Compellingly militant as well as beautifully apocalyptic, "Grace of God" finds Puissance
in top form, presenting a fine compendium of all bits and pieces that the band have been
flirting with throughout their career and incorporating them in a unique style which will
again set new standards, as they have been known to do in previous outputs. PRICE: 12 €
PUISSANCE: LET US LEAD (Equilibrium Music) CD
Originaly released on CMI in 1996, "Let Us Lead" stills stands as one of the most
impressive and groundbreaking releases in the Industrial/Militaristic fusion that has
become so popular recently. Finally re-issued on deluxe Digipak with one bonus track.
PRICE: 12 €
PUISSANCE: MOTHER OF DISEASE (Equilibrium Music) CD
In the year 1999, while mankind sat unnaware of their fate and wondering if the moon
would drift away into the far reaches of space as the XXth century came to an end,
Puissance would reappear, clad in shining armour.
With the Industrial rust of early days properly polished, the Swedish duo would further
explore their talent for graceful arrangements set to Militaristic Neo-Classical music.
Following the overtly confrontational offerings of "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control",
Puissance were now set to resurrect the ghosts of Cold War and the obsession with all
things thermonuclear that haunted the planet - the Mother of Disease, as they would call it
- over that period. Brooding hymns to suicidal heroism, devotional praises to a new god
that would finally bring closure to the human race, the screeching of metal twisting and
melting - all of this would find its place in Puissance's own beautiful vision of the
impending apocalypse, that they so ingeniously depict on "Mother of Disease".PRICE:12€

PÄR JOHANSSON: THE EMPTY PALACE (Elektron Records) CD
Pär Johansson was born in Södertälje, Sweden in 1972 and besides his M. Sc. in computer
engineering, he has studied music, acoustics and Chinese language and culture. He was a
student of electroacoustic composition at EMS in 1995-97 for Anders Blomqvist, LarsGunnar Bodin, Andreas Hedman, Jens Hedman, Erik Mikael Karlsson and Peter Lundén.
Since then he has also worked there as an administrative assistant and lecturer in acoustics
and sound synthesis. Pär Johanssons music is narrative, sometimes containing
recognizable sounds, but it is not conventional programme music, though the source of
inspiration often is literary or philosophical. Nor is it conceptual sound art since the
aesthetic aspects of a piece are just as important to him as the underlying ideas. The
intention is that it should be possible to listen to the music without any background
knowledge. PRICE: 12 €
R|A|A|N: THE NACRASTI (Malignant Antibody) CD
The remarkable debut from R|A|A|N (Stig Berg) and the second release on our sister-label
Malignant Antibody. R|A|A|N delivers dark-ambient in it's classic pure-form, at times,
conjuring the spirit of Heresy-era Lustmord or vintage Raison D'Etre. Heavy ritualistic
drones, sporadic rhythmic accents, and deep subsonics that will vibrate your very core. An
ideal blend of thick warm analog and sharp digital sound that bridges the gap between old
and new technology. Thematically, The Nacrasti explores an ancient desert culture that
was advanced beyond its time and yet long forgotten by history. Your dark evolving
journey into this lost "Nacrastan" landscape is streaked with the warm hue of sun-bleached
rock, sand, gold, and fire. A serenely brooding work with a myriad of nocturnal subtextures. At times a subtle, almost alien combination of sounds. Proof-positive that darkdrones can intone an element of beauty and power. A very promising debut from an
equally promising new talent. An album that will leave you excited for what comes next
and a critical new addition to every dark-ambient collection. PRICE: 12 €
RADIAL: NEXUS (Triumvirate) CD
The first full length release for this rising American artist. Let your rational mind
temporarily recede as the throbbing, irresistible rhythmic pulse acts directly on your
nervous system, compelling motion and emotion. "Nexus" displays Radial's authority at
constructing unique works of insistent, complex rhythms interlaced with cold, tense
atmospheres. PRICE: 12 €
RADIODRAMA: AUTOPSY NUMBER 9 (Hermétique) CD
Third production on the French label Hermétique after the two first releases of Propergol.
First CD appearance for this new band from Seattle. Throbbing, haunting and sensual
harsh electronics mixed with repetitive pounding rhythms conceived as an homage to the
fantastic and gore film genres, dedicated to George A.Romero and Joe Pïlato. Twilight
lights and images, dim-sighted glimpses from reality, incarnated voices from the other
world in claustrophobic living spaces very close to the mental confusion inherent in
Propergol... No soul will be safe! Five tracks in collaboration with Propergol. PRICE: 9 €
RAFAEL FLORES NUBES, COMETAS, RUMORES Y ORUGAS (Monochrome

First official CD album of Rafael Flores who hails from the depth of spanish noise

diverse sides of his creative efforts, which ranges from collaged field recordings to noise
ambient loops, from rhythmic structures to hypnotic electronic passages. PRICE: 10 €
RAPOON: CHURCH ROAD (Tantric Harmonies) CD
Document of private live show. Fantastic mutation of Rapoon sound: trademark estern
drones, surreal electronic textures. Exclusive material + bonus track. PRICE: 12 €
RAPOON & BIRDS OF TIN: MONOMYTH (Manifold Records) CD
Brilliant minds think alike. Anyone familiar with Birds Of Tin won't have a hard time
imagining how a collaboration with Rapoon would be simply perfect. Marry the
percussive mysticism of Robin Storey with B.O.T.'s unique found sound/composed drift
and you have a stunning series of inward-peering journies that get deeper and more
profound with each passing track. Close out on a lengthy, aquatic ambient piece that seems
to draw magic from both artists into a restlessly energetic spiritual storm. Rapoon fans will
not be disappointed, as the work as whole takes more of a cue from Storey's sound and
style. It builds on top of that rather than rewriting the book. Nothing like getting what you
hoped for and yet being surprised at the same time. PRICE: 12 €

REI REA: THE STILL SUN SY-ARISE (Rei Rea) CD-R
Those looking for a relatively calm music, with transcendental accents and even, at times,
some slightly middle-eastern influenced undertones, alternating with passages of a nature
that is more death-ambient oriented, but often peppered with slow synthetic rhythms with
an old-school sound, will be pleased. Rei Rea is one of our recent discoveries, a Montreal
secret that is still kept too well. Rei Rea is a series of oneiric vignettes which are halfway
between the first Muslimgauze releases and the music of American project Stone Glass
Steel. An epic dimension seems to shine in every twist and turn, every echo, every drift
that this disc has to let out. Furthermore, the term ‘’psychedelic’’, which has been used to
describe a zillion things since the sixties, here has a most affirmed meaning. A daydream.
We strongly urge all dreamers out there to discover this release! PRICE: 7 €
RESPIRATOR: MONOCROME (Organic Pipeline) CD-R
Debut album of melodic electronic manipulation by this Danish artist, who appeared on
"Noise Decay - Noises and Such from Denmark vol. 1".

kitchen, deconstructing the sources and putting them back together in a minimal mix. This
is Danish electronic Dogma! PRICE: 7 €
RORICAT: UKI UKI (Horus CyclicDaemon) CD
Russian duo consisting of Eugene & Julica make spacey, abstract instrumentals. Heavily
delayed guitar strumming, accompanied by various random sounds and minimal hand
drum percussion. Light & airy ambient guitars with subtle rhythms. Very relaxing yet
propagates passion.
A strange odd ditty, acoustic guitars, tiny cutesy little lead synth and sometimes an itty
bitty Power Puff girl vocal. Gurgles, burps and blips. It's great to hear synths playing nice
with guitars. The definition of quirky this is. Indescribable stylistically. More strangeness,
more quality, more inventiveness. Very unique sound! A bit like David Bowie's "Sound
and Vision" (Low). Beautiful noise. Fascinating cinematigraphic, chaotic dream of drones
and distortions with ambient, multidimensional, psychedelic, ironic, and hypnotic guitars.
All friends of electronics will be pleased by this amazing dada-like music from the very
north of Siberia...PRICE: 10 €

RUNE LINDBLAD: DIE STILLE LIEBE (Elektron Records) 2 x CD
This lovingly curated double disc retrospective of previously unreleased works by the
Swedish electronic pioneer Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) is a difficult listen, it must be said,
but the jarring, ugly, tuneless music captured here gives an interesting insight into the
world of a man who in some circles (fairly obscure ones admittedly) is lauded as one of
the true giants of twentieth century music. Lindblad, in his early years, worked in
isolation, seemingly unaware of the conflict between the Cologne school of electronic
music, championed by Stockhausen and Koenig, and the Paris school of musique concrete,
of which Henry and Schaeffer were leading exponents. In 1956, prompted by a sudden
awareness of these workstreams, both of which could be compared to his own
compositions, Lindblad put on a concert of musique concrete in Gothenburg, together with
Bruno Epstein and Sven-Eric Johansson. The sleeve notes to these discs tell the story.
"This was the first concert of its kind ever in Gothenburg, and caused a scandal. The
audience got angry and aggressive when they heard the experimental music and afterwards
demanded their money back. The concert was totally slated by the press, one reporter
describing it as pure torture". This about sums it up actually. Some of the tracks presented
here - 1973's 'Associationer', for instance - are pretty much unlistenable. This is not to say
that they are bad. In fact large parts of this appeal to me very much indeed. The
compositions are extreme, in the same way that Karel Appel's "Questioning Children" is
an extreme painting, or Peckinpah's Straw Dogs is an extreme film. They are not there to
be enjoyed. They are there to be endured. And therein lies the satisfaction. Anybody with
the faintest interest in electronic music should listen to these discs at least once, if only to
put Lindblad's successors - from Merzbow to Autechre, from Eric La Casa to Sonic Youth
- into context. I have to confess that when I received this disc I had never heard of Rune
Lindblad: now, hearing his works, I am in awe of him. PRICE: 20 €
RUPOR UDARA / KRYPTOGEN RUNDFUNK: CARNAL PANZER RITUAL /
SENDUNG FüR DEINES MARK (Mechanoise Labs) CD-R
Gathering two russian projects involved in the Zhelezobeton label, this split demonstrates
the cold, heart-freezing power electronics of Rupor Udara and the old-school electric
discharges of Kryptogen Rundfunk in an essential and condensed 36 minutes. As soon as
the pulsating loops and suffocating piano lines of "Demagnetizator" kick in, Rupor Udara
builds up an emotional and painfully brutal world of raw vocals and understated
melancholy, with tracks such as "My Daughter Is No More" proving themselves to be
monuments to his skills. During the second part of the split, the focus shifts to Kryptogen
Rundfunk's cunning abuse of analog retro-electronics and pounding drones. "Sendung für
deines Mark" is only a small sampling of what this project has in store for us, but what a
sampling it is. Mechanical loops duel with warm intoxicating bass drones for the spotlight,
and once they've kicked in ("Maschinentanz"), there's no shutting down this engine. The
disc ends with the brief and climatic "Kill n' Dance", welding together the two projects for
2 minutes of chaotic drumbox madness and inhuman vocals. PRICE: 8 €
R.Y.N. ASTRAL DEATH (Unrest Prod) CD
Finally the real long-play album for this UK drone-duo presenting 6 long tracks of waving
& slowly shifting massive drones, based on "guitar, bass, metal & effects". The sounds
here are just flooding immensely, there's nothing "concrete" you can hold on to; the mind
& body seems to be washed out slowly by these rustling feedbacking & deeply
reverberating overtune-waves. "Astral Death" is a journey into the pulsating, meandering
heart of disintegration. PRICE: 12 €
SADKARMA: SOLIS E.P. () CD-R
SadKarma is the phenomenon of the experience of pleasure, through the perception of
balance and proportion of stimulus. It involves the cognition of a balanced form and
structure that elicits attraction and appeal towards a person or an inanimate object.
SadKarma is the bedlam of organic ambience with decoration & fluctuation in its purest
form. The frames of the music bear fragments from certain eras of artists like Swans and
Coil but the painting itself has drifting textures far more beautiful. PRICE: 6 €
SAFFRON WOOD: PLATONICA FILOSOFIA DELLA TEMPERANZA (Hic Sunt
Leones) CD
A land hidden from controled pleausures of rationality among soul an internal platonic
part, it is the first andoncy CD by Lorenzo Scopelliti, single musical expression of Saffron
Wood, rich in enthusiasm and love, emboried between discoring and long harmonious. An
important page rich in inconsious caracters and sonorous pigments put togheter. In an
original evocative hemisphire a thinking walk between the greek Skopelos and the
mediteranean Sicily. The Friscalettu flutes, the impulsive tibetan trumpet and his bells.
The vibrating harmoniuns dances of the sicilian Maranzannu and the Vietnamese Danmoi,
the evocative sonority of the Indian Dilruba and the Egyptian Rebab, the shy puffs of the
Shakuhachi and the indian Bansuri, the cymbals, the ceramic and glass percussions, are in
this way translated and trasformed omeopathicly in "Platonic Philosophy" expressing the
possible prophecy among soul, ground and the acoustic steps of a special peace.... where
we often like to find ourselves. PRICE: 12 €
SALA DELLE COLONNE CRONACHE (Autumn Wind Prod) CD
A Martial Industrial / Electronics study of war in song..the song of war infused into our

album. PRICE: 12 €
SANCTUM: LET'S EAT (Cold Meat Industry) CD
After 8 years of absence, Sanctum will finally feed all you hungry masses with new
material. The impatiently awaited new album "Let's eat" will demand you to be curious
and willing to taste the unknown. Like Sanctums previous work it's still about contrasts,
but with stripped down sounds, less bombastic, rougher and more powerful. Still a
pleasurable experience, for sure not easy to digest - more hard reality instead of baroque
feasts.
Sanctum is a band from the Cold Meat Industry label, that with their first album "Lupus in
fabula" opened up a new dimension in Nordic industrial music. Founded by Jan Carleklev
and Håkan Paulsson in 1994, the band has since been joined by different musicians. For
"Let's eat", Sanctum invited a new singer, Sara-Lo av Ekstam. The groups approach has
always been not to follow any specific genre, but to experiment and to enjoy their music in
full. A fact that can not only have been heard in their music, but also seen during their
shows when the third permanent member of Sanctum, Ulrika Carlsson, takes care of the
video performances. Their reputation has provided them with countless opportunities to
tour in Europe and the States. PRICE: 12 €
SCHLOSS TEGAL: BLACK STATIC TRANSMISSION (ColdSpring)CD
On this, their fifth album, SCHLOSS TEGAL explore the realms of the dead, within the
phenomena known as evp (electronic voice phenomena). Though hailed as one of the
greatest dark ambient acts around today, this is considered to be their finest outing to date.
Extreme dark ambient mixes effortlessly with 'dead voices on air' - voices that have been
recorded by the band themselves, and with help from electronic voice phenomena
specialist and mortician, EN LLEWELLYN. These voices claim to be the spirits of people
who once lived on this planet. The concept of this album focuses totally on the world
beyond our reality - a peek into areas of darkness populated by the dead. An enthralling
and genuinely unique album. PRICE: 10 €
SCHLOSS TEGAL NEOTERRIK RESEARCH: THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF
SCHLOSS TEGAL (Cold Spring) CD
A collection of compilation tracks, pieces only originally available on vinyl, and new and
exclusive material from one of the scene's best selling, darkest sonic scientists. This is a
definitive statement on the rise of TEGAL from the early days of vinyl and noise to the
modern soundtracks of a uniquely brooding nature. PRICE: 10 €
SCISSOR SHOCK WE'RE IN THE TRASH BAG (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
An impossibly fast and noisy blur of technical tape carnage from the midwestern plunderer
SCISSOR SHOCK. Just over ten minutes of insane dayglo digi-grind-splatter, like a
28
battalion of attacking cassette players operated by cartoon mice advancing on your burg.
Spastic drumming and hi-speed cassette catastrophe and razor-thin techno bleats are
encoded in puzzle melodies and transmitted direct to your nervous system. Pretty
shoegazer drones and electrocuted cut n' paste sweeten the cataclysm like Evil Dead on
sugar overdose. Packaged in a hand-assembled, full-color cardsleeve in a resealable plastic
sleeve. Presented in an edition of 250 copies. PRICE: 8 €
SCREENING: LOW END (Maor Appelbaum Productions) CD

and variegated sonic trip around a limitless electronic universe... PRICE: 12 €

SEDAYE MARG: FRASHOGARD (Coup d'Etat) CD
More than two years after its last full-length disc on Mechanoise Labs, Sedaye Marg
returns with its first CD release titled "Frashogard", which literally means "renewal" in
Zoroastrian lore. Fusing its signature processed and distorted percussions with tape loops
and strident electronics, "Frashogard" retains key aspects of the project's previous
incarnations while incorporating its persian influences more visibly, as the focus shifts to
the events in the last two decades which have shaped its inspirations and its existence. In
sum, a soundtrack to military coups, rapid modernization, misguided faith, betrayals and
ultimately rebirth. While these references to Iranian history may prove obscure or unusual
for the casual listener, they are the key to understanding what the essence of Sedaye Marg
is, if one chooses to do so. An exigent approach which is quite in tune with the nature of
the music. PRICE: 10 €
SEEKER: INVOCATION OF THE SLEEPER (Autumn Wind Prod) CD
Seeker, the manifestation of the will to power, was invoked by Xardas (20.SV) to the
earthly dimensions in year one after two thousand. Its existence is of a transcendent one,
it’s the path of self-illumination rising from its most disciplined practice to its most
oppressive trance inducing rituals. Thus, the first ritual of self-awakening is now
unleashed on a luxurious CD with a 4 panel cardboard 7”EP bringing forth the darkest and
most ritualistic frequencies of will to power that ever emerged on planet earth. One song
over 25 minutes long...Submit to The Power of The One. PRICE: 12 €
SEELE: THE DEEP SIDE OF MY SOUL (Silentes) CD
After the previous Silentes cd: 'Berlin', Seele offers a new, entrancing excursion into urban
atmospheres. A rhythmic trip thats deeply moving and coloured, mixing different styles
with remarkable originality. Seele uses synthetic sounds, drum machine grooves, ambient
textures, alluring female vocals, iridescent chants of the orient, exotic instrumental sounds,
rapper-esque vocal phrases, arpeggios of pizzicato strings, and deeply evocative piano
melodies. An unbelievable blend of sonic elements clash to create a new sonic fabric that
has never been experienced before. Uncharted musical terrain for the listener seeking a
completely new direction in sound. PRICE: 12 €
SELAXON LUTBERG+SUBINTERIOR: SPRING MEETING (Cold Current) CDR

over the sea" recorded in 2005. For composing this work the following have been used: a

of The Last Light) CD-R
Emerging as a rather evolutionary step from the (still living,only in slow motion and in
shadows,as to this day) wet ashes of MortalManifest,Seven morgues was born on march
2006 with the release of "something to cry about" on the house of the last light. After a
few shows Ravid zigdon joined the group,bringing his oriental percussion to the mix of
yaron allouche's synths,raphael tetro's guitars and oren's chantings,sampels and loops.
Seven morgues is sad,spiritual and socially experimental act of empathy and
survivalism.We bring good news,but please do not blame the messanger!
Two Tracks,ticking at almost 55 mins of a burdened way up. Pro-CD-R.
PRICE: 8 €
SEWER ELECTION: VENGEANCE (Freak Animal) 3"CD

cd releases. Freak Animal is proud to offer 3"mCD with c. 20 minutes of most intense
noise wreckage. PRICE: 6 €

Vincenzo Bossi. The album was performed and recorded live without audience in 20052006. 9 powerful tracks evoking anxious and bleak atmosphere expressed through

power electronics and mixed with samples and quiet ambient passages. PRICE: 7 €
SHARPS INJURY: I TOLD MY GIRLFRIEND THIS WAS A 12" (Mechanoise
Labs) 3" CD-R
When not busy with his hard IDM / breakcore project on the N5MD label, Keith Baker
works under the Sharps Injury moniker for his noisier pieces. Started back in 2000, this
project has evolved beyond what you're likely to expect from a first release and provides
the sort of variation and skill so deplorably absent from a number of its rhythmic noise
counterparts. Easily incorporating influences from its brother project, Sharps Injury isn't
shy when it comes to handling melodious pads and synth lines in the middle of the gritty
rhythms. If your girlfriend is slightly dim, you might be able to fool her about the format
of the release, but there's no denying that she'll appreciate the catchy beats of Kestrel and
Forklift 14 or the epic and howling roars of the Ancestor Cell. Or maybe not, but that's her
loss. PRICE: 5 €
SHINJUKU THIEF: DEVOLUTION (Dorobo) CD
Presented as a Limited Edition of strictly 500 copies only, Shinuku Thief's latest album is
Verhagen's 4th soundtrack for the Australian Dance Theatre. A dynamic underscore,
fusing Shinjuku's requisitely epic cinematic flair with timbral edge, abrasive electronics
and microstructural rupture. The album is full of chaotic rhythms and distortion,
something like a mix between Darrin's E.P.A. project and the Shinjuku Thief album
"Medea". This work premiered at the Adelaide Festival this year and will tour the world in
2007. PRICE: 12 €
SHINJUKU THIEF: THE SCRIBBLER (Cold Spring) CD
Reissue of the 1992 classic by this Australian genius, originally released in an edition of
500 copies. Occasional bursts of factory noise, industrial rumblings and disembodied
German voices form the backdrop to a minimalist reworking of Kafka's "The Trial." An
album of dense filmic atmospheres and orchestral instrumentation. 'The Scribbler' has
been digitally remastered and is enhanced with a series of video clips constructed by
Richard Grant (I+T=R), incorporating both new material together with the original images
prepared for "The Scribbler" live show. PRICE: 12 €
SHINJUKU THIEF: MEDEA (Dorobo) CD
Originally composed for a controversial staging of the classic greek tragedy, "medea" is
shinjuku thief's most dramatic, dynamic and sinister work to date. Notwithstanding its
extreme violence, it might also be one of their most beautiful. Fragile melodies sung by
boy sopranos float above demonic choirs and malevolent orchestras only to be ripped apart
by screaming sheets of industrial noise. Oscillating between lush musical seduction and a
level of brutality as yet unprecedented across the band's backcatalog, "medea" will appeal
to fans running the gambit of dead can dance, raison d'etre and in slaughter natives in one
corner to merzbow, and brighter death now in the other. PRICE: 12 €
SHOW OF EXAGGERATION (The Rectrix) CD
A cosmic ambient passageway through aeons of space time. Ebbing tides of sonic
conundrum, fading and waning military and ritual rhythms to convey a feeling of loss and
eerie calm. A Synapscape/Centrozoon collaboration. PRICE: 5 €
SICK TOUR & HINYOUKI: ASIAN TS (Verato Project) CD-R

SILENCE & STRENGHT: LE DIVIN CAGLIOSTRO(Eastern Front) CD
A Tribute to the Grand Copht, the creator of the Egyptian Rite of Freemasonry, the most
colourful magical Adept and one of the previous incarnations of the Master Therion.

SILENCE & STRENGHT: OPUS PARACELSUM (Eastern Front) CD
Second full-length esoteric dark ambient/alchemical experimental opus full of weird
sounds composed by Silence & Strength. The album is inspired by life and works of
Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim, medieval Swiss physician,
chemist, alchemist, one of the fathers of modern medicine and rebellious thinker,
developed his own system of medicine and philosophy. PRICE: 12 €
SIMULACRUM: UPUAUT (Old Europa Cafe) CD
3rd full length album by this great Slovakian project! "Upuaut" means in old Egyptian :
"that (man), who opens a door" this album is less ambient than the previous two,
containing great tantric rythms ( sometimes reminding to the best Rapoon ...), many
sampled voices & droning, mystic, hypnotic & sexual sounds... the perfect soundtrack for
your rituals. Booklet cover with sea-landscapes & sea-ruins. PRICE: 12 €
SINKE DUS: AKRASIA (Cyclic Law) CD
Akrasia is an old question dealing with the weakness of the will. To behave "akratically" is
when one acts against his better judgement, committing acts that are known to be wrong
but yet still going through with the motion. Markus Lonebrink wanted to explore not so
much the philosophical issues at hand, but rather the subjective experience of akrasia
itself. To learn of the underlying motives of when one acts akratically. Certain events in
the akratic process felt natural to him and it was those he tried to integrate into these
soundscapes. There are no conclusions described in the music, but there might be a
glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps the shadow of a hint of why we
humans sometimes act as irrationally as we do. A shared quest to gain better knowledge of
29
oneself through this self-revisionistic ambient journey filled with ethereally lush passages
that give way to a truly visionary and immersive experience. The album also features a
special collaboration with Pär Bostrom of KAMMARHEIT. PRICE: 12 €
SISTER LOOLOMIE \ POLARIS: OUT OF SPACE (Abgurd) 3" CD-R
SL - side-project of EXIT IN GREY member - performs grainy Drone Ambient with
rarefied sound & sentimental guitar melodies. Sometimes the "aural pressure" grows to the
extreme, eating your brains out, dimming your reason... The music, which sounds alike is
BAD SECTOR `Plasma`. P - another project of person behind Power Electronics
SUDANSTRAIN - evolves with re-worked track from the year 2002: hollow lowfrequency Drone Ambient with solar-wind whispers & bouncing signals from Outside.
PRICE: 7 €
SISTRENATUS: DIVISION ONE (Cold Spring) CD
Powerful debut of the Canadian noise project. 'Division One' is harsher and more
bombastic than Harlow MacFarlane's now defunct project FUNERARY CALL. A true
onslaught of Black Ambient, Power Noise and Death Industrial. This is the much
anticipated album, after the well received track on our legendary SWARM sampler.
PRICE: 12 €
SKINCAGE: AXON (Malignant Antibody) CD
The debut release from Skincage (Jon Ray) and the first release from Malignant's imprint
Malignant Antibody (run by Phil Easter of Stone Glass Steel). Skincage shares the same
dense & evocative sample/loop construction as SGS or Iron Halo Device, yet has a
contextual style that brings to mind Coil or later-day Shinjuku Thief. Skincage treats us to
a dense pallet of electronics, found sounds, acoustic samples, and electri-cal glitches. But
unlike the typical dark ambient work, the Axon album is brighter, noisier, and covers a
remarkable range of compositional styles and textures -- often all within the same track.
Both cinematic and emotionally deep, Axon suggests a contemplative storyline of personal
pain, pestilence, and isolation, interwoven with a strong sense of internal exploration and
discovery. Indeed, Axon is the result of a two year recording process that chronicles a time
of artistic awakening and deep personal loss. The pervasive mood of Skincage is perhaps
best summarized by the artist's own definition: "the state of being a mind trapped within
the confines of a body with unending absolute awareness of those constrictions." If you
too have felt the suffocating claustrophobia of your own skin, or if you seek an evershifting journey into the tangled nervescape of your mind... then Skincage: Axon is the
treatment. Skincage is a serious must-have for any experimental / soundtrack / darkambient collection, and is certain to become an instant classic (believe the hype!) Ingest
your first dose of Malignant Antibody... and slip into the Skincage. PRICE: 12 €
SKM-ETR: SCREWDRIVER CITY (Freak Animal) 3"CD
Previous full length CD caught plenty of attention in power electronics scene. In this new
mCD, SKM-ETR takes more straight forward power electronics approach. Hard electronic
noise wall with hateful vocals. PRICE: 6 €
SKM-ETR: THE RUGGED MEAT CLEAVER (Eibon Records) CD
Crushing walls of white noise meet melodies, just to show the two styles aren't oil and
water..... Uncompromising harsh electronics with a somehow 'musical' edge, topped by
lots of samples, in-your-face lyrics and thug attitude. Featuring contributions by Brethren,
Slogun and Murderous Vision. Run, darling, run. Fast. The rugged meat cleaver is here
FOR YOU !! PRICE: 12 €
SKROL: DANCES AND MARCHES FOR THE ORPHAN AGE (Dagaz Music) CD
Surfacing somewhere between the harsh attacks of ISNatives and the charisma of
TMLHBAC's feminine element, Skrol's majestic and uncompromising music is based on
contemporary Classical music, recreated through Industrial Ambient methods. PRICE: 12€
SKULLFLOWER: ORANGE CANYON MIND (Crucial Blast) CD
The new full length from the legendary UK free/drone/psych outfit Skullflower, featuring
some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (the man
behind Skullflower, as well as Sunroof! and The Hototogisu) has unleashed to date, in our
humble opinion. Orange Canyon Mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome Exquisite
Fucking Boredom (Tumult Records), and continues that albums utter mutation of stoned
out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white
light. Over the 8 tracks/60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive
horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff. PRICE:
12 €
SKULLFLOWER: TRIBULATION (Crucial Blast) CD
Tribulation. The new emission from the UK trance-noise legends SKULLFLOWER. A
black-void beaming of utterly destroyed drone rock and crushing amplifier obliteration
that rains down black ash and punishing blasts of feedback skree on the listener. A
dynamic, bleary-eyed meditation. An avalanche of powerdrone that threatens to take your
cranium apart and transport your grey matter into filthy new dimensions infested with
melodic razor cuts and submerged mantras. A triumphant eruption of apocalyptic metametal and radioactive raga swarms, guaranteed to loosen eardrums. This album is one of
the heaviest, harshest slabs of guitar armageddon from Matt Bower since the glory days of
Total, and bridges the void between the krautrock/celestial free drone influence of the last
few Skullflower albums, and the blackened molten death of his Mirag material. PRICE: 12
€
SLEEPING PICTURES: NETHER EDGE (Fluttering Dragon) CD
Sleeping Pictures is the ongoing musical project of Marc Blackie (Defacato, Ophedia,
Disappointed Virginity) - [Vocals/Lyrics] and Gary Parsons (Static, Bestinality) - [Guitar
and other instruments]. The year 1995 saw both Blackie and Parsons lurking at the time
within the lower regions of South London. A meeting of minds was bound to occur and
thus it did, the pair being brought together by mutual acquaintances on the basis of their
interest in difficult and downright obscure areas of music, art and literature. Both had
previously played and performed with a number of bands, so the idea of a collaboration
was struck upon and Sleeping Pictures where formed in the summer of that year.
Gathering their composure, the two began creating the now obligatory
experimental/industrial/"call it what you will" noises using whatever came to hand, whilst
not flicking through obscure literature and tapping their feet to unpopular records. Blackie
busied himself with electronics and occasional vocal duties whilst Parsons used and
abused various household items and musical instruments. A collaboration with wandering
minstrel, medieval re-enactor and one time Cindytalk member Steven Scutt, saw the music
taking on a more musical and lyrical flavour and the violin arrangements added by one
time member Renée Rosen (Sol Invictus) led to a live performance supporting
Shockheaded Peters and Knifeladder. Now a song based outfit, as opposed to their first
more experimental incarnation, Blackie took on the vocal and lyrical duties whilst Parsons
began to compose a wide range of music taking in all manner of contradictory and at the
same time complimentary influences and inspirations. To celebrate the transition, a
number of tracks were recorded at Matt Howden's Red Room studio, leading to requests
for contributions to compilation albums and further collaborative work with the likes of
Tony Wakeford, John Murphy, Hunter Barr, Lloyd James and Dan Knowler. To this day,
two CDs have been released, both in limited numbers. Backwords consisted of out-takes
and live performances and Life Discounted was a taster of material from Nether Edge.
This long delayed debut album, largely recorded at London's Retina II studios is planned
for release in early 2003 with material for the next album already being written. Sleeping
Pictures have also recorded "The Killing Tide" for the recent Sol Invitus tribute album and
"Girls and Dogs" for a soon to be released Scott Walker tribute. PRICE: 13 €
SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY: DEEP FRIEZE (Cold Spring) CD
Ultra deep, glacial Dark Ambient, based around Antarctic co-ordinates. The polar regions
are awe-inspiring environments of inhospitable minimalism, and at the same time there's a
beautiful serenity to be found in their uncharted bleakness. There's a powerful purity and a
timelessness to be found there; snow which has lain un-trampled for millennia and ice
which formed eons ago; mountain ranges and deserts and rivers to be found if you look.
'Deep Frieze' is SRF's second album for Cold Spring and here deep, resonant, abyss-like
drones shine forth from icy chasms below. PRICE: 12 €
SOLA TRANSLATIO: ENIGMA (Hic Sunt Leones) CD
The third, much awaited CD by Opium and Alio Die is finally out!
Enigma is an ambient album, with drones and dark ambient elements. Eight imaginary
landscapes wavering between the earth and the cosmos, sometimes returning on the dark
atmosphere of the first album, but with a few acoustic elements more clear. The album
begins with some obscure and enigmatic atmospheres transitioning into more open/light
tracks: looped sounds of the played cords of the zither, tubes, treated field recordings and
small sounds of shells and bells add layers to the electronic magma. An intimate /
introspective CD. PRICE: 12 €
SOMNIVORE: CLERGY OF ONEIROS (Anima Arctica) CD
Six tracks clocking for over three quarters of an hour give the listener a glimpse of view of
the world of Somnivore. Stories and tales inspired by dreams, nightmares, insomnia,
sleepwalking, blurry history and future, magick and logic, secret and public essence of
certain and uncertain places, fountains of life and curtains of death. Magical viewpoints to
seemingly everyday topics, and everyday approach to spiritual activities of certain and
uncertain times and places influence the compositions varying from subtle drones to
archaic rhythms, from harmonies and melodies blinking like hope in child's eyes, to brutal
approach of noisy and pounding industrialish percussions. Vocals from monasteries of
religions that don't exist (anymore? yet?) to gloomy whispers and spoken word. Most of
the time the holistic auditive narration of these songs works in the fields of ill-logic,
instinct-driven - like a mindless spirit, like a small child, like an animal in frenzy... one
observation of change in surroundings, and the thoughts fly to next subject causing
somewhat unexpected results... Sometimes the stories work against linear time, like the
ending track where the soldier in bunker get stumbled by memories of childhood, and lives
his lifetime backwards in minutes. Some stories examine places and entities, to which time
has no effect at all like the track "Those graves under the Bay of Bothnia". Strongly
present are the places most near to the scarred heart of this sound sculptor & songwriter:
Lightless winter days of Lapland filled with anguish, physical and mental illness, and
substances to kill the freezing effect of depression and climate... The nights, explorations
and feasts of Moravia & Bohemia filled with absinth and wine... Quiet huts and nostalgic
alleys and pathways of small northern Ostrobothnian villages... The blessed and noble
forests of East Finland, the gentle yet crushing force of these holy woods... PRICE: 12 €
SOPHIA: DECONSTRUCTION OF THE WORLD (Cyclic Law) CD
After the limited edition LP, we can announce the enhanced CD version of Sophia's 7th
opus. This CD features an additional, previously unreleased, track "Depravity" along with
a video clip to accompany this track. For this album Peter Bjärgö has this time joined
forces with long time friend and Arcana collaborateur Stefan Eriksson to deliver an
outstanding piece of sonic grandeur. Keeping with the latest elements of the Sophia sound
and bringing back some of the early martial elements with predominant drumming and the
addition of commanding vocal parts, this album is definitely one step above it's
predecessors and reconfirms Sophia's uniqueness. Be prepared for an intense journey!
PRICE: 12 €
SOSTRAH TINNITUS : LES DÉBRIS DE L'ÉTÉ (Beyond Prod.) CD
After the so well acclaimed debut album of one of the most hermetic projects around
(Tvmvlvs Seraphim), Beyond Productions is very pleased to present to its followers a
brand new project in its roster, directly from a Tvmvlvs Seraphim rib: Sostrah Tinnitus.
Even if very far from the dark/deep isolationism of the main project, ST's debut album
"Les debris dé l'été" focuses upon Ambient sonorities and Naturalistic concepts. Maybe
something of comparable to Alio Die's works? PRICE: 10 €
SOSTRAH TINNITUS L'ODERE DEL RAMO SPEZZATO (Beyond Prod.) CD

heavy rhythms, minimal songwriting, ominous vocals and neatly placed in a vacuum, high
quality recordings & sounds which have their roots into neo pop'n'folk, dark ambient,
dubbing-drones ... This is the 2nd full length release from NY based artist J Greco.

Sometimes aggressive, and other times distant, but without loosing continuity. Featuring

new track available here only! Sickening sounds from the audio abyss... PRICE: 10 €
STARUHA MHA: FIRES (Agnisvet) CD
This mysterious Russian project has always been a kind of unique folklore/musical
mythology projection. Its conception seems to be far from modern world in terms of both
aesthetics and social issues, taking us back to the roots, where the forest is like a fairyland,
embodying the dream of every hermit creature. All composition are undoubtly anxious,
uneasy by nature which nevertheless is not going against ambient harmony. Beautiful and
very peculiar work. PRICE: 13 €

ceremonial atmospheres and churning percussion, and ominous, reverberating vocals
presences. Inspired in part by dark, natural environments.

TABLE (Pain Compliance) CD
More great death-industrial from this perhaps under rated project. .11 cuts of cold, very
dark, clinical electronics influenced by medical phobia and fetish, and the frailty of the
human condition. From catatonic atmpsheres to surgically sharp power electronics, Light
Reflected from a Cold Cutting Table has lots of deeply pulsating death vibes and thick,
writhing frequencies amidst a semblance of structure. Cool, highly processed vocals too.
Very good intensity and lots of layers make for a very complex, entertaining listen, even
as it disturbs. The soundtrack to your next desperate stay in the infirmary. Should find
immediate appeal among fans of Ex.Order, Navicon, etc.. PRICE: 8 €
STEFANO SCALA: IL TEMPO DEL SOGNO (Hic Sunt Leones) CD
A work filled with subconscious elements and sonorous pigments that bring together a
evocative context where different acoustic instruments from the Mediterranean, Japanese
or Indian traditions, among others, meet. PRICE: 12 €
STELLADRINE : LE RIRE DES ETOILES (Mechanoise Labs) CD-R
If that robot from "Forbidden Planet" could be forced into writing records with his own
voice and whatever he could find on a person's desk, you might have something similar to
"Le Rire des Etoiles" (literally "The Laughter of the Stars"). Fusioning cut-up sounds from
non-musical sources such as kitchen ustensils and bottles with the sort of electronic tones
more reminiscent of mumbling droids than 21st century synths, this disc carries a feeling
of nostalgia for the future, like a transmission from a lost satellite. PRICE: 8 €
STELLADRINE: YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR WORLD AGAIN (Mechanoise
Labs) CD
There is a reason that the 50's are referred to as science fiction's Golden Age on the silver
screen. After all, what other era has so prominently featured such a vast bestiary of mad
scientists, bug-faced monsters and fearsome aliens? It was a time when inversing polarities
and shutting down generators was all the rage, and square-jawed heroes in jumpsuits led
the way across the unknown. A time when science was alternatively mankind's ultimate
salvation or its impending doom. A time when the future meant something. "You'll Never
See Your World Again" is a sonic journey to this future. Theremins whistle and sing,
electronic equipment bleeps away and rocket engines whir in this exploration of what lies
beyond the blackened expanses of space. In this case it happens to be fifty minutes of
melodic cosmic ambient, catchy lunar beats and space-age guitar ballads, and that's
without even mentioning the manic robo-surf rock of the second track. Gorgeously
adorned by STPo's colorful artwork, this is an invitation to all adventurous cadets out
there. PRICE: 12 €
STIGMA DIABOLICUM / DARUIN: SPLIT (Symbolic Prod) CD-R
split-CDR with 10 tracks from demos with differently mix (exclusively for this prod) for

unreleased tracks for DARUIN (Japanese Ambient Noise Band). Artwork with DVD
format. PRICE: 7 €
STILL: REMAINS (Public Guilt) CD
Dälek Turntablist, Still (Hsi-Chang Lin) goes solo and unleashes a dark ambient
masterpiece that borders on sonic terrorism. Created using only Technics 1200's and an
array of effects pedals, Still's REMAINS is not a "turntablist" record in the traditional
sense. Drawing from (and adding to) the history of alternative turntable use, REMAINS is
an ambient record whose textures at times run side by side with the work of PHILLIP
JECK or APHEX TWIN. Two laborious years were put into the 35 minutes that comprise
the album. Each track was painstakingly mapped out and played live in the studio.
Opening with aggressive noise and evolving into delicate ambience, REMAINS
supersedes the preconceived range of the turntable, infusing emotion into an otherwise
inhuman instrument. PRICE: 12 €
STILLSTAND: SYMBIOSEN (Tosom) CD-R
StillStand is the ambient side of Martin Steinebach, also the guy behind Monoid
(Rhythmic Industrial) and Conscientia Peccati (Ritual Industrial). The new work takes
StillStand in a new way. “Symbiosen” is a little bit influenced by Monoid. Great and
wonderful soundscapes are combinated with discreeted rhythms structures. Imaginary
sound pictures, sometimes rough and dark, sometimes beautiful and innocent. PRICE: 8 €
STPOCOLD: WHAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE (Cold Graey) CD-R

"Listen to the sounds of torment from a lobotomized nervous system and spasms of
hallucinatory madness. STROM.ec is back with a painful pure industrial experience from
rhythmless, smoking, burning, nauseating ambiences to vibrant cosmic pulsations which
either unite with God or the worst nightmare of schizophrenia. Never afraid to take one
progressive step further, STROM.ec has progressed from power electronics to a
parapsychological frenzy of influences and alternate states of mind that border on the
clinically deranged. Definitely not easy-listening music but the added depth of production
and audio technology is sure to tune your subconscious to become one with STROM.ec's
extreme, damned and perverted sensory suggestion. "The Manual Diagnosis" is conceived
as a concept album on surgical lobotomy. PRICE: 11 €

SULPHUR: DER FLUCH DES LEBENS (Cranial Fracture) CD
Sulphur is a dark ambient / death industrial project founded at the turn of the milenium to
capture both bleak emotions and a value for the sanctity still inherent in life. Hailing from
the confused landscapes of Adelaide, South Australia, deep rumbling tones and layers of
noise were combined in a search for transcendance in a wall of sound. Influences and
inspirations are many, though the aim is to include themes and sounds quite unorthodox to
the genre and strive towards a distinct individuality in sound.
The recording process for a Sulphur release is driven by an emotion that brings a certain
tone to the mind of the creator, this is created using a variety of distorted samples and
effects and utilised into a specific appropriate pace into a structured 'song'. The project
began with 'Sechzehn Schmerzen' an initial outlet driven by beats and structured
31
compositions, later moving into a purely noise based recording until slowly evolving into
darker, deeper and more atmospheric compositions. An hour of experimental dark
industrial soundscapes play out over 10 compositions, with stunning digital manipulation
of photography added to assist the listener in contemplating the themes presented. PRICE:

SUNAO INAMI: DELAYED (Electr-ohm) CD
"DELAYED" by Sunao Inami is the latest in a strong line of releases on his own electrohm label, established about 3 years ago. Sunao Inami's music's main strength lies in
repetition, but where the "poison" lies is different every time: electronics, glitch, techno,
noise, ambient; the result of recent years of progression, digression and collaboration from
which he's gained impetus, irritation and motivation. By soaking up these sensations, he
has arrived at his most recent sound. Inami embraces the thrill of improvisation on the
PowerbookG4 and the feeling of tension and composition from the newest DSP recording
methods and any and every editing process. For "Delayed" he used a Waldorf synth for
hardware, and mainly Reaktor4, Live, Spark, Logic6 and Protools for software. Otherwise
spoons and other kitchen utensils.PRICE: 7 €

TERRA SANCTA: AEON (Malignant Records) CD
The stunning, formal debut of Australia's Terra Sancta signifies a triumphant return to the
dark ambient roots (Yen Pox, Caul) that established Malignant. Unlike those early releases
though, this is music that emanates not from the abyss and catacombs, but rather from far
above; a descent from air to earth that comes bearing down with a crushing, cosmic
weight, sending out cataclysmic eruptions of blinding sonic dust across an already wind
swept and barren landscape. 4 tracks totaling close to 50 minutes,each track aptly named
(Cold Light Infusion, Black Sun,Blood Red Sea, Drowned - Desert Earth II), each track a
vibrant, isokinetic piece climaxing in tumultuous, majestic patterns, time and time again.

THE INFANT CYCLE: PLAYOUT (Zhelezobeton) CD-R
The Infant Cycle is a project of the Canadian artist Jim DeJong working under this name
since 1994. It may seem surprising, but all these 13 years he remained in the underground
of experimental music, and his name is well-known only to inveterate enthusiasts and
explorers of this strange phenomenon. The project has put out 6 full-length albums on
cassettes and CD-Rs, several singles and an amazing series of minions called "Clear
Shape" released in ultra-limited editions on transparent vinyls of unusual forms (square,
hexagon and triangle). Jim has also recorded a lot of collaboration works with such
musicians as Big City Orchestra, Dronaement, Orphx, Aidan Baker, Delphium, etc., some
of them were published by his own label The Ceiling. The Infant Cycle's music has never
been notable for tensity or ornateness, instead of this it focuses on the subtle aspects of
sounding of separate timbres and their combinations. Such textural orientation allows to
create a completely peculiar effect, and the seeming minimalism carries into the
contemplation of the infinity of possible microsound combinations. In this connection, Jim
knows how to get on with both rhythms and drone ambient prostration. Among his
favourite instruments are Poly-800, shortwaves, feedback, field recordings and altered
vinyl records. Vinyls deserve special mentioning. Jim carved the runout grooves of records
and thus created simple and unembellished (yet in some ways, unpredictable) rhythm
patterns. Once he decided to start a project severely limiting the sound sources to one
carved playout and the operational sounds of his old 4-speed Califone record player.
Additional noises were generated by running a razor blade along the platter while it was
spinning (the blade at different altitudes, and the platter at different speeds which was
picked up by the needle), and the tone arm being vibrated into different tones by a violin
bow (amplified via the needle). An early track (called, fittingly "Playout (Early)")
appeared on "Lágrimas De Miedo N°8 - Sund", a compilation CD coming with the eighth
issue of France's "Fear Drop" magazine (2001). Two excerpts were also released as a free
promotional 5" by The Ceiling to announce the then-upcoming CD release of "Playout" on
the American label Merchants Of Sound. But the label soon folded out, and the recording
was lying and lying in the bins of The Infant Cycle's archive. And now we are infinitely
glad to have an opportunity to present this work to your attention. PRICE: 7 €
THELEMA: BURNT MEMORIES (Small Voices) CD
Nine years after their last release (Night of Pan), the Italian Dark-Folk Wave band par
excellence have finished a new collection of songs, now available on SmallVoices. The
band was born in the winter of 1984, when former Throbs of Pleasure Giorgio Parmigiani
and former Les Blousons Noirs Massimo Mantovani met in some punk rehersal room in
Modena, their hometown. The third original member was former T.A.C. Gregorio Bardini,
and together they gave birth to a band influenced by the ideas, philosophy and magickal
opus of Aleister Crowley. “Thelema” was the obvious choice for a name. Thelema were
immediately hailed as one of the best gothic bands in Italy, even if their roots were punk
and their leanings were more towards experimental and industrial sounds, as the many
tapes produced through the years testify. The original cell, Giorgio and Massimo, has
never been broken, altough many other musicians have joined them through the years. One
thing must be said: even if their releases are not many, they never quit. Even when the
band split (more than once and for long spans of time), the magickal link between them
always kept them busy working, through music or other media, on the discovery and
realization of their True Wills. And now they’re back. Mature and disillusioned, self
produced. Once again, they’re hard to label. Once again the sounds have changed.
BURNT MEMORIES is different from NIGHT OF PAN, which was different from
TANTRA, which was different from ROSA+CROCE (see their site www.thelemaband.com - for a list of all their releases). The old strenght is not
immediately here, as the music seems softer (but - who knows? - the live set could be a
BIG surprize) and more oblique (Eno is one of Massimo’s heroes) than ever, but the
violence is still present in the lyrics and in the story/concept which links all the songs in
BURNT MEMORIES, and so is the Magick, that they never abandoned and which has
never abandoned them. PRICE: 12 €
THE MOON AND THE NIGHTSPIRIT: OF DREAMS FORGOTTEN AND
FABLES UNTOLD (Equilibrium Music) CD

The Psychic Paramount here is a power trio in the traditional rock format (guitar, bass,
drums) recorded live at performances in Paris, Lyon, Perpignan, and Napoli in Nov./Dec.
of 2002. The group, going on tour less than one week after their first meeting, is captured
at birth in raw immediate form. Predicating experiments with the authority of sound and
primitive revival upon a rock 'n' roll platform, the music seeks to evoke a sense of urgency
and a release from the banal. A document of turbulent emergency music grinding its
entrance. Tracks originally recorded to cassette live using stereomicrophone.PRICE:6€
THE SOIL BLEEDS BLACK: MIRROR OF THE MIDDLE AGES (The Fossil
Dungeon) CD

THE SPACE VOYAGE: SOUND DESIGN BY VETROPHONIAK (Zhelezobeton
Film) DVD-R
The science fiction film "The Space Voyage" was first shown in Soviet cinema theatres in
January 1936. The showing was preceded by two years of work at Mosfilm studio done on
a firm scientific basis - the consultant of the project was Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. With his
help Soviet cinematographers managed to create a surprisingly realistic image of a journey
to the Moon for that time - long before the beginning of real space research. The film
narrates about the bravery of young pioneers, the willingness of Soviet women to always
come to aid, the fearlessness of scientists and their determination to sacrifice their lives in
the name of science. Serious approach to shooting didn't prevent the director V.
Zhuravliov and the screenwriter A. Filimonov from treating the plot with humour, but in
general the picture is just saturated with powerful heroic spirit! The original film had a
soundtrack compiled of various classical music compositions. But what can be more
appropriate to the constructivist spirit of Soviet time than the retro-futurism of St.
Petersburg's noise scene classics? The Vetrophonia duet consisting of Nickolay Soudnick
(ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt, Veprisuicida, etc.)
solved this task with enthusiasm. During 2005 while working in the ZGA studio they
laboriously collected samples, recorded the parts of electronic and acoustic instruments
and composed collages for each specific scene of the film. The result turned out to be
beyond all praise. The DVD-R with the movie has an option of turning on English
subtitles, comes with a booklet containing an article about the shooting process and is
packed in a special cardboard sleeve. PRICE: 10 €

evenings...where the soundscapes are revealed while the stars seemed to gather and sing
out of their primordial and powerful environment. The darkest hour is always the one
before sunrise... PRICE: 12 €
THO-SO-AA: ENRIELLE (Art Konkret) CD
The re-release of the praised Enrielle tape, Art Konkret 15, is finally finished. The CD
includes also three previously unreleased tracks. THO-SO-AA ´s dark sound reflects the
dreams and visions of the person behind THO-SO-AA. The sounds are created with
acoustic instruments and this makes it more interesting, than the normal dark ambient
music. You can think about of ambient death-industrial with a lot of different faces. It
takes you in another world, the dark world of THO-SO-AA. PRICE: 12 €
THO-SO-AA: MINUS (Art Konkret) CD
On “Minus“ THO-SO-AA finds the way back to his roots. The new material is different to
the “Absorb” release. It is very dark, like the early THO-SO-AA material, but with a lot of
new influences. You find drones, pushing down bass sounds and ghostly voices. Song
titles like "Introduction for a demon", "It's a nightmare", "Below peace & happiness", "A
perfect collapse", "Darkness" speak their own language. The dark frequencies corrode
slowly deep into the inner life and spread out their blackness. This release is the
soundtrack for an intensive search for a physically noticeable zool sound, the "place where
the black stars hang" as Brain Lustmord expressed it. For all who black is not dark
enough. PRICE: 12 €
TIDAL: GOLEM AND MAN (Manifold Records) CD-R
A masterpiece that even the artist says is his favorite Tidal release. The dark, droning,
powerful stylings of Tidal, wandering into the Yiddish legend of the Golem, a magic
construct that was said to awaken and defend the people in difficult times. Applying the
occult motif of the myth, Golem And Man explores irrational mysteries through some of
the densest, darkest, mostpenetrating ambient on Manifold. Four lengthy tracks evoke
different tableaus, different techniques. Murky, keening drones flow and wander in from
out of the night. Fog creeps across the water, eerie forms move through the Slavic night.
Ancient angels of clay watch the borderlands, the bordering forest. Strange forms and
spirits moved through the world long ago. This record renders, in ambient grey-scape
drones, the scene of this idea. Transformed into ideas for modern thinkers, strangely
appropriate for events in our world now. Thematic U.S. based sound and concept artist
Tidal delves into the atmospheres evoked by the Yiddish legend of the Golem. Suitably
ancient and solemn drones limned with ritualist undertones.The scenery is always
changing, the feeling never really leaves the realm of one wandering through unfamiliar
places at night, not quite threatening but not quite natural either. very similar in sound to
33
Crawl Unit 'VS Silence' or Lustmord's earlier, noisier work. In canvas and clay medallion
package, suiting the legend as the Golem was said to be made of mud and cloth.PRICE: 9€
TIERMES: MALAHVIA (Saaren Levy) CD-R
Malahvia, the latest effort in series of audio releases by the performance and music group
Tiermes, is presented after six years of intense experimenting and research on the field of
ethno-pharmacology, -botany and ritual behaviour during Fennoscandian prehistoric age.
As a result, not being only a piece of sonic art, Malahvia can also be considered as a fine
example of modern archaeology, through which an idea and feel of what is beyond all
things mortal is intelligently forwarded closer to the level of everyday life and death.

Industrial. PRICE: 12 €
TOMAS BJELKEBORN: PAST TIME (Elektron Records) CD
Past Time is a selection of compositions by Thomas Bjelkeborn between the years 19871996. All of them are highly artificial-sounding pieces of electro-acoustic avant-garde,
with some short but effective vocal clips in them. In keeping with the genre, the material is
highly disjointed, and I for one couldn't get any real grip on it despite several (17 full
listen-throughs, to be exact) attempts. The segments each track is formed of come in short,
dissimilar burst that are hard to concentrate on. Yet at the same time the number of
elements is low enough to prevent the formation of a wall of noise -effect out of the
diversity. The are several absolutely wonderful parts, but those are hard to wait for amidst
the chaotic whole - especially since the shortest of the tracks is almost 9 minutes long, and
the great segments just a few seconds at most each. A fascinating exception to this is a
brilliant two-minute wave of noise at the end of the Beatles-ish named Within Without, an
example of noise music at its best. In the end, Past Time leaves me absolutely cold.
Nevertheless its combination of stylishness, excellent echo structure and the exemplary
sound production quality common to Elektron's records hints very much that it might be
an album many fans of electro-acoustic music would enjoy a lot. It's seems to be a highquality work that's just not to my personal taste. [Jiituomas, Kuolleen Musikiin Yhdistys]

favorable pieces through the years to be placed on this release. Presenting nine analogue (4
& 8 track) recorded compositions that lead the listener through vast feelings of beautifully
deep melancholic and hypnotic states of mind. Composed with guitar-drones and harmonic
phrases that are processed in various ways creating an atmosphere of the sublime and
emotional meditative states that transcend listener to immerse within themselves.

TROUM: DARVE SH / AJIN (Nefryt) CD
Two rare vinyls as one CD. The ritual face of Troum! “DARVÊ SH” was released in
February 2003 as 10”-vinyl on Beta-Lactam Ring Records (mt030) as part 10 in the
“Lactamase” - series. “AJIN” was released in December 2005 as a picture-12” vinyl on
Equation Records (E=mc11). DARVÊ SH: etymological persian source for “Dervish”, it
means “doorway” (metaphor for being between this word and the netherworld. AJIN:
hebrew for “Eye”. It also means “Colour” or “Source” and is the 16th letter of the hebrew
alphabet. The right eye that looks into the sky for transcendence, the left eye that looks to
the ground to the worg of god (one that dances and the other that speaks) -> balance of
contradictions. PRICE: 12 €
TROUM: OBJECTLESSNESS (Faria) CD
There is a big gap between “rational”, verbal language and the pre-symbolic language of
our emotional and unconscious mind. Music is perceived partly with our conscious mind,
who can analyze it and reflect on it. On another part, it is perceived by our
unconsciousness, by our “primal consciousness” that lies “under” the rational mind. The
idea: Experimental music, especially that of a more droning character, can easier “get in
touch” or be unconsciously connected with this primal state of mind. It is music that is
linked with unconscious fantasies coming from a pre-verbal sphere of existence... the
phase of life based on the dyadic interaction with the “primal object”, the mother.
At this early stage, there’s no awareness existing of being a full separated Subject, and no
other full separated Objects can be perceived. Inner and outer reality is the same. Spheric,
droning, dissolving music is pointing unconsciously at this “objectless” sphere of
existence. This release is dedicated to the idea of an especially formed “pre-symbolic”
music. PRICE: 12 €
TROUM: RYNA (Transgredient Records) CD
"...To receive from it pleasure, it is necessary completely to open the consciousness and to
allow layers of sounding Troum to operate emotions. Now, for the prepared student,
listening "RYNA" similarly to travel on the strange, cold country lulling by the
monotonous rhythms, dronings and vibrations, and then wakening by absolutely habitual
sounds, unexpectedly emerging on a surface, like fragments of dialogue, sounds of the
underground, city, sounds of crowd and any strange ritual singing." PRICE: 14 €

dreamscapes. This part one is dedicated to "harmonies", containing seven yearnful &
atmospheric tracks made by guitar, bass, accordion, voices and effects. The aboriginal
word "Tjukurrpa", translated as "dreamtime", should symbolize the aim to build music that
creates a dreamy state of mind, music of yearning, meditation and inner movement. The
"Tjukurrpa"-trilogy shows the three basic musical spheres of TROUM, "harmonies",
"drones" and "pulsations": PRICE: 12 €

archaic dreamscapes. This part two is dedicated to "drones", presenting five highly
atmospheric and droning tracks ranging from minimal to monumental sounds, from dark
ambient to more ritualistic areas: these are drones to loose your rational mind in. The
music on Tjukurrpa II is made by loops based on metal-sounds, percussion & other more
obscure sources, as well as mouth-organ, choirs, guitars, and effects. PRICE: 12 €
TROUM: TJUKURRPA (PART THREE: RHYTHMS AND PULSATIONS)
(Transgredient Records) CD
Dronecore. This is the third part in TROUMs Tjukurrpa-trilogy, following part 1
(harmonies) and part 2 (drones). This final part is dedicated to “rhythms” and “pulsations”,
with a focus on rhythmic, pounding, looping & repetitive elements and structures. With
TJUKURRPA 3, TROUM shows a not so well known side, using the trance-power of
repetitive textures. In every of the seven extensive tracks (playtime 66+ min) rhythms in
various moods build the basis: from smooth ambience-pulsations over ritualistic
surroundings up to ecstatic pounding harshness, from underneath & soft pulsative patterns
up to evolving harsh & overwhelming rhythmic loops. The music on Tjukurrpa III is made
by raw & processed loops & handplayed percussion, along with electric guitar & bass,
balalaika, mouth organ, male & female human voice, flute, and accordeon. No samplers,
synths or computers used. PRICE: 12 €

TUHAT KUOLEMAA SEKUNNISSA: S/T (Anima Arctica) CD
Noble & Honest Neo Folk Rooted firmly to the pagan grounds of Finland
These songs are made to rise higher than pines, and the brilliant melodies glitter like
34
silvery lakes under the holy sun. Some of these tracks are surely to be sung along with
tears in eyes by lonely listeners, and some out loud by like-minded minds affected by
blessed beers and wicked wines. This record is mainly performed two acoustic guitars and
bass guitar held by men with fierce fire in minds and souls, with voice - sometimes fragile
like icicles, sometimes hard like the wind from the arctic ocean, but always in the
language of their ancestors - and with occasional elements of other traditional instruments.
Humble and traditional approach to composing leads to traditional, yet innovative song
writing... a reverend nod is given to the direction classics of British isle's neo folk genre,
which shake hands with archaic songs sung by Finnish tribes next to fireplaces in nightless
night, in lightless winter of this cold, cold country. PRICE: 12 €

V/A: CONVERGENCE (Fulldozer) CD
Experimental music compilation "Convergence" presents new tracks from THEODOR
BASTARD, VOLGA, NOTCHNOI PROSPECT, FIZZARUM etc. Seeming to be
stylistically heterogeneous music (glitch, clicks-n-cuts, IDM, dark ambient, neoclassical,
power noise and even trip-hop) it turns out to have a lot in common - all the musicians are
united by an experiment, an attempt to break through the borders of directions once
defined by someone. General musical mood of the compilation is also vague - gloomy,
mysterious but opening a light perspective. CONVERGENCE (latin 'convergens' together, completely, strongly), the process of coming together or the state of having come
together toward a common point. In biology the adaptive evolution of superficially similar
structures in unrelated species subjected to similar environments. In ethnology development of similar characters in different cultures. In sociology (convergence theory
1960-80) - the coming closer of 2 different social systems (capitalism and socialism).
CONVERGENCE OF THE EYES - movement of the two eyes so coordinated that the
images of a single point fall on corresponding points of the two retinas.

Dark haunted magic music crafted by the eastern Witch. A masterpiece of sensitive chants
dealing with a black magic and ancient rituals. The music of Umbra has this special,
magical, dark and secret atmosphere. It flows out of a lonely heart which belongs to a
creature from another world. A world with no time, a world freed from reality. That's
probably why the music of Umbra is so subtle and charming. It is like an ancient artifact
that survived for centuries to cast spells on us now. PRICE: 12 €

U.S. CHRISTMAS: SALT THE WOUND (RAIG) CD
Though often counted among the bands associated with the so-called underground stoner
rock scene, the U.S. CHRISTMAS influences span much further than that that scene’s
foundations in 70’s hard rock or 80’s heavy metal, delving into psychedelia, space rock,
experimental and beyond. Fusing their influences, USC developed a sludgy, feedback loud
and heavy rock sound that helped them take up a very specific place among so-called
modern avant-underground movement. Salt The Wound is the third album in the band’s
discography and the first officially pressed release. It is comprised of some of the selected,
rerecorded, and rearranged songs from their first two albums, Prayer Meeting and Bad
Heart Bull, plus three live tracks of which two songs do not have studio-version analogues
yet. Seven studio tracks for many remain the high point of USC as extreme downer acidpsych-space rock. Finding a perfectly steady balance of trapping crunchy rhythms, strungout guitar riffage at the core of molten swirling and bubbling synthesizer lava, and echodrenched vocalization obscurity, they managed to create a uniquely defining work. It’s a
great introduction to the band for those brave enough to withstand the assault! PRICE: 12

V/A: LIKE MUSIC TO THEIR EARS VOL. 1 (Mechanoise Labs) CD-R
It took over 10 months for this compilation to take shape, but the manner in which the
tracks came together as one complete and coherent whole suggests that this slow process
of selection and juxtaposition was worth its time. From the opening metallic chimes of
Rudra Vena to the mangled drones and suffocating steam of Inoculation, the common
thread throughout the disc lies in one simple idea: atmosphere. Whetever it's in the form of
35
slow, scraping noise or tense and rather solemn collages, there's always this willingness to
create an audio environment for the listener to wander around in, gaze at or simply submit
to while it lasts. Prime headphone material for those late-night sessions. PRICE: 6 €

on blackened folk creep, glacial hum and gorgeous ambient bliss, buzzsaw feedback
rituals, imploding-sun droneblast, improvised clatter and drift, epic dronemetal, vampiric
dronenoise, and schizophrenic kool-aid burble riots. Another exercise in intelligent,
outsider droneworks from CRUCIAL BLAST. PRICE: 8 €
V/A: REVELATION (Bugs Crawling Out of People) CD
14 tracks of twisted agony and misguided intentions. From evil soundscapes to pounding
oppressive beats, from the most reckless break beats to torturous power electronics,
revelation is a full assault on the senses. Born from a melding of text, artwork, and music,
it originated as a short story written by bugs crawling out of people founder Squid. This
conceptual fusion served as the catalyst upon which an impressive line-up of Industrial
musicians focused their artistic interpretation. The results are phenomenal. CD includes a
massive 16 page booklet with complete story and original artwork.

We can hear a multitude of sounds, taste a multitude of flavours, walking under the rain in
the evocative setting of Ostrow Tumski. From the thin grey shades of Herbst 9 to the
esoteric hypnotisms of Allerseelen, through the wrapping electronics soundscapes of Job
Karma and the delicate folk melodies of Sol Invictus. A journey through ambient
atmospheres, industrial movements and a comforting melancholy moistened by little
raindrops… A dusty old computer which spits out elaborate electronic solutions through a
trembling screen which will show a city in black and white. An entity full of chrome metal
covered with a futuristic loneliness, crossed piercing gloomy ambient passages distorted
by a turmoil of electro rhythms. A work for the most delicate and passionate palates and
for those who are looking for an avantgarde sound. From Poland a duet who offers a
complex but interesting electronic carpet with a thrilling remix featuring their more
famous mates CH District. PRICE: 12 €

VELEHENTOR: SAK-YELGA (Eternal Pride) CD
A project by 121 (ex-Satt)one of the famous band VALHALLA & Closing The Eternity
from Ekaterinburg. This album is limited to only 333 copies and is designed in a unique
way – in a DVD-box with an 8-page booklet. Postapocalyptic Dark Wave/Power industrial
with radical anti-life position.
VELEHENTOR is still trying to find “Black Pearls” in the planet’s past and future. This
time the “treasure” is hidden in the river Sak-Yelga, one of the dirtiest rivers on Earth,
where the concentration of copper exceeds the permissible maximum 800 times – and the
city of Karabash, situated on its banks. This settlement, full of slag with some lead and
arsenic and surrounded by the remains of the forests burnt by sulphur is located at a deadend siding of the South Ural railway. It has a second name – Pirit, which in Russian is an
anagram of the word “yperite”. It fully reflects what people living and born there have to
experience - central nervous system and glands deseases, cancer and mental disorder.
PRICE: 9 €
VERDE: LEGENDA (MIR) CD
Legenda is on one hand a combination and a continuum of different things, on the other
something unique. Listener with a sharp ear and enlightened mind should be able to locate
the past points of reference for the CD. Legenda is a logical continuum of the 1960s and
1970s wild electronic experiments and general recklessness of Finnish Underground
Music. Legenda is a logical continuum of Krautrock as bands like Faust, Can, Neu and
Amon Düül presented it for us. Legenda is a logical continuum of the multiplicity of
golden era Pink Floyd (Ummagumma/Atom Heart Mother) and their perfection in sounds
and recording techniques. Legenda is a logical continuum of the work that was started
back in the day by Nurse With Wound, Throbbing Gristle and such industrial music
pioneers. Legenda is a logical continuum of Miles Davis masterworks such as Bitches
Brew and his live recordings from the same era. The music of Verde is not meant for
superficial listening. Verde challenge their listeners instead of trying to please them.
Legenda is the second official CD by Verde, lead by electronics wizard/madman Mika
Rintala (ex-Circle, Ektroverde). The first one, Vuoronumero, came out in 2004. Legenda
is co-released by MIR, Zum Teufel and Ruma Puulaaki. PRICE: 12 €
VILLA VALLEY: MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF DEADNESS (Crucial Bliss) CD-R
New private-press CD-R on our Crucial Bliss imprint. We've joined up with the Michigan
feedback-violence duo VILLA VALLEY to vomit up Massive Amounts Of Deadness, a
near hour-long, 8 track infestation of extremely gnarly/fucking awesome freefeedback/noise rock covered in gobs of meat, amp squeal, and deadness. This is heavy
corpse-rumble and hideous death improv for fans of primo Michigan damage
(UNIVERSAL INDIANS, WOLF EYES), dissasembled noise rock, and Prurient's tube
blowing horror. We assembled a single hand-numbered edition of 100 copies, with jewel
cases blasted in black enamel, and original art from the band. PRICE: 8 €

obscure, ever evolving abstract sonorities fused with mysticaly charged passages, this is a
relentless visionary experience through time and space, to realms beyond our imagination.

VOX BARBARA: OH, HOW THE GHOST OF YOU CLINGS... (ObjectiveSubjective) 3" CD-R
A nineteen-minute epic, based in droning ambience and, at times, featuring dynamic noise.
Frank Smith's triumphant return to the music scene, after years of silence, will draw
immediate comparison with his previous efforts, "The Five Senses" and "(de)Constructed
Ghosts", as well as Coil's "How to Destroy Angels". A four-minute 192 kbps mp3 excerpt
of the track can be found at http://www.subjective.ca/Part of the budding "Watchmen"

Moore's "Watchmen" graphic novel. The complete series of three-inch releases is, in
essence, a compilation in twelve parts spread over nearly four hours of music, all
dedicated to Alan Moore's greatest literary accomplishment..PRICE: 6 €
WANDER: S/T (Small Voices) CD
Wander are Freek Kinkelaar and Frans de Waard, also known as Beequeen. Since
changing Beequeen's musical direction in the summer of 2000 (drones out and 'popmusic'
in). However, since they both love drone music, they founded Wander in 2001. In Wander
they explore drone music in it's widest possible form, with each new release exploring a
specific concept. Wander will release their music on various formats, but every format
only once. Each release is called Wander, and there is a total absense of any information
on the cover. So far they have released a 10" on their own Plinkity Plonk label, a LP for
En/Of, a split 7" on Plinkity Plonk (a split single with Beequeen), a CDR on XZF and a 7"
on Edition... and a forthcoming split 7" recorded in collaboration with Andrew Liles. The
material was recorded in the analogue studio Geluidswerkplaats Extrapool in late 2004 and
early 2005, using a wide variety of vintage synthesizers (juno 60, korg MS20, roland SH
102 and Arp synthesizer) and a Philicordia organ. The four long pieces breath an
atmospheric, pastoral sound of slow and deep evolving drones. The CD was mastered by
Raymond Steeg of The Legendary Pink Dots' fame. The images on the cover and the disc
were made with the help of Elise de Waard.PRICE: 12 €
WEREJU: THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF UNKNOWING (Electric Requiems) 2 X
CD
Eerie, droning ambient soundscapes from Ireland, of all places -- two cds worth, in fact,
although the total running time is under an hour. (Yes, I know that doesn't make sense -don't look at me, I'm an innocent bystander here.) The sound falls somewhere between the
37
more abstract work of Aidan Baker and the epic fall-of-drone works of Fear Falls Burning
-- it's all gliding instrumental melancholy and heavily processed guitar, dark soundscapes
that resemble the ambient sound of waves crashing on a distant shore while trawler horns
bleat in the fog, or perhaps the hollow and disquieting sound reverberating through the
subterranean tunnels surrounding the river Styx. There's a soothing quality to the
depressed drone, though, with pleasing sonorous tones and an elegaic feel to most of the
material, a sound that's every bit as intriguing as it is meditative. This is music for mystical
journeys through darkened inner landscapes -- with stark and brooding artwork to match -that should hold plenty of appeal for droning dark ambient enthusiasts. PRICE: 15 €
WEREWOLF JERUSALEM: THE BEAST BEFORE CHRIST (Mask of the Slave)
CD-R
Werewolf Jerusalem is a side project of Richard Ramirez that solely based on dense static
noise textures. This project was inspired by the U.S. noise legend, Chop Shop. After the
great reactions and success of Richard Ramirez - deProgramming Pornographers album
released by Mask of the Slave Records last year, the new Richard Ramirez kind of noise is
out now for his enthusiastic fanatics. PRICE: 8 €
WHERE: WERERAT (Eibon Records) CD
Cavernous dark ambient, made out of field recordings taken exclusively in sewers and
other rats-infested places. A frightening and immersive journey through shadows,
somewhere between crepuscule and nightfall, far from the flashing rays of daylight.
PRICE: 12 €
WIJLEN WIJ S/T (Aesthetic Death) CD
This is true raw funeral DOOM - WIJLEN WIJ are what the scene has missed for the last

"Stormcrowfleet". PRICE: 12 €

WILT: AMIDST A SPACIOUS FABRIC (Ad Noiseam) CD
"Amidst a spacious fabric" is the third full length album by Wilt, the dark ambient
american project that surprised the whole genre with his debut "The Black Box
Aesthetics" in 2000. James Keeler, the man behind Wilt, creates encompassing
atmospheres made of deep drones, slow soundscapes and a lot of variations, using original
sound sources that bring something interesting to a style where blend electronics are too
often prominant. The 11 untitled tracks on "Amidst a spacious fabric" were created with
only sounds recorded with a zither, then manipulated and treated to built slow and
hyponitzing tracks. The listener is taken to a dim lighted room, where tones are echoed
and basses rumble. But this is not all, since a lot of accoustic noises from the zither are
also used in this album, adding a lot of surprises and depth to the dark textures.
Experimental but very well arranged and mesmerizing, "Amidst a spacious fabric" could
be compared to the works by Lustmord, Archon Satani or Megaptera, but possesses a
unique, deep touch that people who know "The black box aesthetics" will easily recognize.
PRICE: 12 €
WILT: WHEN SPIDERS LEARN TO FLY (Blade Records) CD-R
Another face of the great Wilt on this very limited album (150 numbered copies). James
Keeler gets the assistance of two other musicians for what is Wilt's most accoustic work so
far. Balanced between ambient drones and scraping noise, this album is all in all relatively
soundtrack-oriented, with occasional and well placed ouburst of noise coming to provide a
contrast to the organic soundscapes. PRICE: 9 €
WILT: WITHER (Crionic Mind) CD
Released May 2001, Wilt extol the invisible corners of the thirsty earth with this exaltation
of decay and reclamation. Best described as Noise Ambient, "Wither" is a aural quagmire
of dusky vapors and ivy draped relics, grating erosions and the thorny shadows that rise
and fall across dying landscapes. Moldering Dark Noise from this inspired American
project. PRICE: 10 €
WOLFSKIN : CAMPOS DE MATANCA (Essence music) CD
Enveloping, oppressive, yet evocative structures on top of a magma of bleak, hypnotic
sound collages of the darkest excellence. A wheel in perpetual motion entwined with the
manifestating sounds derived from an exquisite, archaic instrumentation - carillion, bells,
accordion, tin whistle, talara and even ceramic box, drifting a wide collection of carefully
chosen eccentric field recordings, like the slaughter of pigs in winter. Bombastic, martial
percussions plus a imposing, sober quasi-spoken-word vocal presence on some tracks
enhance the tone and give a perfect aura of evolving mystery to the whole album.
PRICE:12€
WOMBA: EVIDENCE OF LETTA (RAIG) CD
Fascinating allure of sound sculptures, organic and industrial flotsams of WOMBA origin
catalyzed by the shed manipulations of the local underground scene's most prolific lunatic
Tikhon S. Kubov. It’s neither a return to the aggravated sonic assault of the preceding
album nor a reproduction of the kind of noise you would expect nowadays, but somewhat
more soft, if at all possible. This sounds like a refined post-industrial symphony of
nostalgia, sentiment and lust. Normally, it works without breaks as one single piece, but
the montage specific character allows a listener to spin one's own web of twenty four
audio-cells by programming the Letta tracks to playback in any order. Make your own
Evidence! PRICE: 10 €
WOMBA THE 27TH BAKU COMISSAR (RAIG) CD
In accordance with the album title, “The 27th Baku Comissar” (26 Baku commissars were
Azerbaijan revolutionists who formed a sort of people’s governing body, the Soviet in
1918, but were arrested and shot soon after by interventionists from the British Task
Corps) offers 27 fragments of minimalist drone aggression which shrives fleshes down and
shakes bones up. Not noise, but a textured and tangled experiment schemed to subdue
tympanic membranes and seduce one’s numbing consciousness. At times, a paranoiac
voice is added to sampled natural and found sounds, and the creation can suddenly change
to pseudo-rocking song and back again to harsh-sounding electronic. WOMBA, which
came into the world from Kubov’s home laboratory in 2001, has pioneered zvezdazmovement and forced contemporaries to accept the inevitable. PRICE: 9 €
WRECK OF THE HESPERUS: THE SUNKEN THRESHOLD (Aesthetic Death)
CD
WRECK OF THE HESPERUS emerged from the steaming mouldy bog-stomping swamplands of Ireland… after two demos the new Lords of foul, pyretic, mental funeral DOOM
arrive to infiltrate and pain you with their repugnant debut. A foulness supreme, a manky
madness – a truly rotten dose of utter rot… PRICE: 12 €
WYCROY: CROWJE TWOYSTROY (Construct.Destroy.Collective) CD
"Twoystroy" is a very emotional record full of strange, yet fascinating atmospheres. The
band's sound is very unique, combining elements of ambient and ethno, with a distant
rattling of industrial machines in the background. The rather calm atmosphere of the
album invites the listener to sit back and enjoy a journey to far lands, waiting to be
discovered. "Twoystroy" is a challenging album without the usual cliches - the band wasn't
following the trends in the ambient/industrial scene for a few years now, so the musical
statement is truly sincere. PRICE: 12 €
xARKANEx :ARCANE ELITISM (The Fossil Dungeon) CD
"Arcane Elitism" is the debut neo-classical dark ambient solo effort created by IkonX,
former member of Daemonia Nymphe (Greece). Eight hymns remember the ancient
Hellenistic past and inspire various moods and mental environments ranging from the
ritualistic to the melancholic. Packaged in a slimline "DVD" case with card insert. PRICE:
9€

Establishment) 3" CD-R
The firt in a series of collaboration with these two artists. One long track of brooding and
evolving death industrial and power electronics drones. Recorded, edited, and mixe over 2
days and nights during a visit to the industrial wasteland. Machines unfold, evolve, and
decay leaving you alone in the darkness. PRICE: 6 €
XOTOX: INDRE STILHED (Tosom) CD-R
Xotox is a wellknown project from Germany in the area of Rhythmical Industrial with
pumping rhythms and distorted sounds. Several releases exists on CDRs or Tapes, but also
a few compilation contributions. With ‘Indre Stilhed’ XOTOX goes other ways and
TOSOM is proudly to present it. On ‘Indre Stilhed’ you don’t hear nothing like rhythmical
parts or distorted sounds, forget what you know or heard about this project. ‘Indre Stilhed’
shows “the silent side of Xotox’. 17 Tracks full of beautiful calm sounds, sometimes with
a little classical touch. “This album is dedicated to all those who can still feel the silence”
and who’s not? Xotox is the project of Andreas Davids, who also runs with‘Neuf Noir
Records’ a little but very fine label, worth to check it. PRICE: 7 €

poster. PRICE: 8 €
YEN POX / TROUM: MNEMONIC INDUCTION (Malignant) CD
Given their separate history as masters of droning atmospherics, and their mutual
admiration for each others work, a collaboration seemed only natural. Now, after years of
discussion, Mnemonic Induction has finally materialized, resulting (not surprisingly) in
one of the greatest, most mind bending works of dark ambient ever. A 60 plus minute
exploration through nebulous, grey areas of the mind…expansive drones and spiraling
vortex’ of sound that hover near the shadowy, distorted zones of a nightmare before
ascending to mountainous heights and dense, billowing climaxes. This has a remarkable,
liquidous feel that unfolds in a fluid, intense nature…patterns converge and meld
seamlessly as layers of sound are added and subtracted; thundering lows rise up from the
abyss, and spiral into the stratosphere, only to dissipate into a vacuumous black hole. The
effect is something that plays on the mind, recalling moments before complete
wakefulness exists…a tattered and restless dream state where images & thoughts flicker
and appear from a fog. Designed by Stephen O’Malley, housed in an attractive eight panel
digipak with thoughtful text. PRICE: 12 €

ALIO DIE: AUREA HORA (Small Voices) 10"
Two exclusive tracks of evocative magmatic soundscapes in the typical atemporal Alio
Die aim. The two completely new recordings (with drones, loops, zither and integrated
radionoises from an old Valvular model) are similar to early Alio Die experiments or one
of his best albums "Sol Niger". Catching atmospheres will bring you in Stefano's magic
world, which is an oneiric, dreaming journey to the inner self satisfaction... PRICE: 9 €
ALIO DIE: UNDER A HOLY RITUAL (Small Voices) 12" LP
Re-release of the classic Alio Die masterpiece. "Under an Holy Ritual" is a ritual ambient
milestone and probably the most highly regarded release from this Italian ambient
composer. Remastered for vinyl in 2005.
"Multi-layered sonic densities that can evoke the air of ancient storms one minute, then
ebb like an immense black ocean the next. This knows how to alter moods with both thick
electronic pulses and prehistoric scrapes of mysterious percussions. Cerebral, spooky, and
thought provoking meditative/ambient music that harkens from a ritualistic viewpoint."

ARASTOO: THREE (Isounderscore) LP
Arastoo is another one of those outfits (persons, actually) who has loads of releases out,
but all of them are ultra limited and thus seemingly impossible to get. The last (and only)
thing we had from Arastoo was a gorgeous cd-r released on Dielectric records, and now of
course out of print. So we were super excited when AQ pal Brandon decided to release a
brand new Arastoo on his label Isoundcore. it's still limited of course, but we managed to
get a bunch, although we imagine these won't last long. Arastoo is Arastoo Darakhshan,
and is another in the brotherhood of the drone, deftly exploring a warm and wonderful
drone drenched ambience. Three is a series of deep cavernous drones, warm and rich, not
so much rumbling and sort of washing over you like the sun drenched surf. But this is
NOT sunny, this is like a sky devoid of sun, a blanket of rich blackness, permanent
nighttime. Occasionally punctuated by haunting reverbed tones, presumably the sound of
struck metal. Creepy buzzing alien melodies drift by like a broken trumpet or some sort of
shortwave guitar. The heart of the record is a massive, slow building ultra dense drone,
layers of low-end get thicker and thicker, while additional layers are added slowly and
subtly, each of those new layers, slightly higher in pitch, the result is a rich swirl of strange
overtones and hunting ghostlike melodies. Gorgeous. Housed in an amazing gloss black on
matte black sleeve.PRICE:12€

CLOSING THE ETERNITY:NORTHERN LIGHTS AMBIENCE (Drone) 7"
CLOSING THE ETERNITY is a Siberian 'cosmic drone' project from Ekaterinburg and
with only a few released CDRs so far, it gained already kind of cult status for lovers of
bleak drone-minimalism. The first vinyl release shows CTE using original 'northern lights
soundings' together with synths, implementing very cosmic soundwaves with electronic
whirs, sinus-tones and small raspy crater-landscapes inside. There's a drift towards
objectlessness and dissolution in these sounds where they undergo into non-existence or is
it transformation into a higher existing form? This is the perfect soundtrack to the 'red
dawn of the north'. Dark blue vinyl. Covers come with an handmade laser-cut metal logo.

lo-fi, deconstructivist, sound collagist experience that accompaniesblack and white films.
When engineering, it means looking at the studio as an instrument and creating small
ensembles to perform thematic improvisationsessions.

influences to produce the most advance sound they are humanly capable of. PRICE: 5 €

HALO MANASH, redrobed and clothed in ash, has a completed a helical cycle,
r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA. Archaic sounds and visions from the heights and depths, elemental
ambience and primal thundering. Various instruments such as horns, kanglings, bells,
cymbals, drums, singing bowls, damaras, rattles, chimes, bones, selfmade instruments,
vocals, voices, and the elemental sounds themselves give form to a work that is sometimes
serene, sometimes fierce and chaotic. Everything is in pairs: thus r.A.S.H.n.k.a-RA itself
consists of two distinct creations/destructions: "IN 4 ELEMENTS" (DVD - VIDEO) was
realized/received in 4 circulations of the sun and consists of 4 parts.

horns and flutes. What’s more, their music also includes found objects of scrap metal,
plastic or wood. Their first release on vinyl presents two pieces of multi-layered gong
drones, nicely processed for full trance effect and enriched with whistling and rattling
sounds and delayed percussion. Above all these sounds, there’s a mighty overtune buzz

HUM: ETHER RIDER (Drone Records) 7"
Hum is a newcomer from the growing Russian experimental scene, who already released a
few most promising self-made CDrs on his own label. HUM (originally a reduction from
'hum-an') defines his work as a representation of emptiness and sound, which is derived
from tantric traditions. The basic intention is the 'restoration of mythological time'. This
release that is dedicated to 'magic flight', enlights with full vibrating 'cosmic' drones on the
first track ETHER RIDER, at the same time sounding like a swarm of low-pitched insects.
The second piece CRUCIBLE is more loop structured & noisy, with low-fi mechanized
rumblings, filled with organic substances... two fantastic sound samples that show the
ability of drone sound to lead your inner mind into the center of nothingness. PRICE: 6 €

musically active as FILIVS MACROCOSMI), and Oleg Kolyada (mastermind of FIRST
39
HUMAN FERRO (F.H.F.) / ODA RELICTA). MARE INTERNUM, their first vinylrelease, is a perfect example for "esoteric organic drones" that impress with their density
and fullness: slowly waving drones, sub-bass pulses, totally suspended & hidden
harmonies appear in the background and soft ringing-tones, like being in an huge organic
cathedral... Listening to IN MEDITARIUM-sounds might give you an impression of
touching something "unknown", yet known unconsciously from some forgotten time... like
being suspended in warm mothers womb.... The coverartwork shows a combined symbol
made of Yantra (meditation), Rosa (woman) and OM (the absolute), showing the way
from Uterus to Universe. WHITE VINYL. SILKSCREENED SYMBOL-COVERS.

"LICHT-UNG (German for "glade") is the name of a label, art- (publishing lyrics,
pictures, etc.) and sound project from the western part of Gemany with a very peculiar and
rather dadaistic approach. The two pieces on "kristall" seem to be based mainly on
feedback- and metal or glass sounds that are carefully put together for a queer-sounding
trip. Side A ("Listen to the music playing in your head") consists of humming, growling
drones, low siren-like sounds and high-frequency feedbacks, powerful and absorbing and
very abstract, while never turning into sheer noise. Side B (with the odd title "Heute war
ich bei den weißen Elefantens") delivers a crystal-clear noise chant and metallic overtones
processed with obscure effects. File under: high-tension & crystal Drones BLUE VINYL

doing this hypnotic-ethno-ambient industrial music mostly under the name LUNAR
ABYSS QUARTET. This very first 7" EP for L.A.D.O. is a pure aural-shamanisticjourney where heard and felt are EarthÕs elements and life itself such as fire, voicemurmurs, strange animals noises, windÕs force and whistles, the enchanting voice of a
woman singing, various softly looped voices are perceptible throughout this sound
journey. All these natural sound-ingredients are merged into a deeply etched vibrating
rhythm of raw and deepest rumbling analogue sounds. These are the kind of electroacoustic drone-pieces that breathes spiritual strength and build shamanistic atmospheres
full of intensity. Each cover is hand-painted with very colourful Mandala-like forms!!!

"For some years now Stockholm based artist MATHIAS JOSEFSON has delighted the
drone scene with his highly minimal excursions into drone territory. From harsh noise to
soft & gentle ambience the aim is to reach a basic level of sound conscience. In doing so
the "human mind" and the "sound mind" interact to build a symbiotic entity. MOLJEBKA
PVLSE is Josefson’s sound art project where he often collaborates with KARIN
JACOBSON. The two pieces "lode" and "lvx" are great examples of breathing drone
structures which seem to be derived from real string or wind instruments. Harmonic &

are processed digitally in more "electro-acoustic" ways. This leads to a balance between
"Drone" and "Electro-Acoustic" where the acoustic potential of conventional reality is
enlarged via digital processing. In his own words: "It brings attention to the peripheral
zones of the sound phenomenon". Through intense mutation & deconstruction of acoustic
materials a new or previously hidden meaning can be revealed for the blind spot of our

The enriched synthesis made by Nos Royaumes with his first 2-track single
'L'antichambre', brings us to a crossing of the different roads the creator followed in his
many experimentations and sonic discoveries in recent years, to a place where the
demarcation line between old-school industrial, dark ambient, narrative paths not spelt out
and recursive bruitism takes on blurred and original shades. Nos Royaumes demonstrates,
with the two monumental tracks of his first release, that oppressing ambiences can easily
go together with enveloping atmospheres. PRICE: 5 €

breathtaking drones of OPION SOMNIUM spread a sad, melancholic atmosphere, which

THE LAW[RAH] COLLECTIVE :VESUVIUS (Force of Nature) LP
the two years of silence following the release of his debut-cd in 2001 were very well spent
by the [law-rah] collective.In april of this year the cd 'isolation' was released on
www.darkambient.net and not one month later force of nature is proud to present a 12"
vinyl with two new tracks by the dutch collective. after the already sold-out skincrime
album, 'vesuvius' is the second vinyl release on force of nature and the first in a series,
where each release will be describing a different natural disaster. both tracks are around
fifteen minutes in length and created with analog sound sources only. while the first side
of the 12" describes the expulsion of volcanic gasses - solfataras - poisoning the air, the
second side sketches a picture of Pompeii, herculaneum, oplonti and stabiae, each hidden
under 10 to 75 feet of tephra (ashes). two days of volcanic activity killed over 3300
people. the design and packaging of 'Vesuvius' is explosive itself; slightly transparent
golden vinyl resembling the power of the magma hidden deep inside the earth. An ash and
smoke colored cover insert designed by dominick fernow of hospital productions not only
gives a brief history of the volcano; it also acts as a guardian protecting the gold of an once
so prosperous city which is no more. PRICE: 12 €
REUTOFF: REUTRAUM II (Kaos Kontrol) 7"
Fifth instalment in the seven-part series presenting various locations in Reutov, the city of
origin for this acclaimed Russian post industrial outfit. Launching off with the ceaseless
hum and rhythm of heavy machinery grinding onwards as alarm sounds form into
hysterical choirs complementing the slowly proceeding pounding of the machines. As an
aftermath, the second piece bears a calmer approach with pulsating drones and loops yet
retaining a profoundly ominous nature. After proving themselves to master a wide variety
of styles within the post industrial genre, Reutoff present here a rather traditional blend of
dark ambient industrial - nonetheless remaining at least equally strong as their previous
efforts. Transparent green vinyl in beautiful full colour sleeve with special lamination
finish. PRICE: 5 €
RYN: WHISTLE AND I'LL COME TO YOU (Drone Records) 7"
RYN is a relatively unheard British duo (with members also active in drone rock band
MARZURAAN & harshnoise project ROMANCE) although they began musical
productivity in early 2003. Since that time they have amassed an extensive body of work
(with few official releases) with this 7" being their first vinyl release. Their drone-style
could be described as ritualistic "power-drone" with an emphasis on fusing the organic and
mechanical. For this 7" solely field recordings were used, a break in style from their usual
ambient wash of guitar generated drones. These energetic sound-sources build masses of
heavy clouds in movement that flood your mind away. Pure metallic flood-noises that
brings a most welcomed VOID into your mind. Dark purple vinyl. Hand-printed with full
colour art sheets & silkscreened covers. PRICE: 6 €
SEETYCA: THE LAKE (Drone Records) 7"
"Another German project dealing with language, poetry and sound is SEETYCA. They
use their own orthography and publish lyrics and prose on their projects website. Seetyca’s
musical interest lies more in creating "acoustic landscapes" or moods than in telling
stories. They’re especially interested in unconscious archaic states of the mind. The two
pieces on "The Lake" relate to a sacral approach of experiencing nature. When beautiful
(classic?) samples are set into a sphere of extremely wide spaces and reverbation, when
these clouds of sounds spread out in infinite refulgence, moving like slow surging billows,
a point of utmost inner calmness can be reached..... File under: mysterious organic drones.

"Behind SHRINE we find a fresh experimental drone project from Bulgaria (currently
residing in England) combining the melancholia of distorted synths with odd micro noises

strong emotional impact, like the feeling of being stuck in a confusing dream. SHRINE's
philosophy shows a way to realize that what we call “reality” is to be mistrusted based
upon our usual perceptions. The distortion of this reality opens up a chance to better
understand its true essence and confront the things that lie behind the surface. Filed under:

with URE THRALL, KRIS FORCE, ALAN TRENCH, and others and released three full
albums so far, now pointing into a more 'song oriented' direction than before... The title of
this EP WAHID means something like 'independent' (also 'alone' or 'solo') in arabic
language. The title track on Side A is build on powerful oriental percussion, mixed with
mesmerizing floating flute, drone and e-bow guitar sounds, forming layers of harmonic

THE HAFLER TRIO: ONLY THE HAND THAT ERASES CAN WRITE THE
TRUE THING (Small Voices) 2x10"
"ONLY THE HAND THAT ERASES CAN WRITE THE TRUE THING" is a set of four
"rituals" (plus one locked groove) using four voices for four very different purposes, all on
two 10" clear vinyl records with gatefold sleeve, shadows, and titles. It uses some new
techniques for voice processing developed by THE HAFLER TRIO within the last two
years, based on the properties of resonances of voices to affect acoustic space, and the
meaning behind The Utterance. Something to hand down to the grandchildren. This
THO-SO-AA: DYING REVEAL (Drone Records) 7"
This German one-man project has impressed many with his very few dark-cold-ambient
albums over the last years and we are now very proud to present the very first vinyl
release! DYING REVEAL is a surprisingly enjoyable noisy EP including some mixing of
voice-samples, from children and other voices, blended with distorted drony-synths, longwaving deep tone-pulsations and electronic bell-like sounds. Become embedded into a
great nostalgic melody at the end of track B (The Undefined). A sombre, pulsating
ambience with many repetitive audio patterns makes this EP an excellent soundtrack for a
trip into the darkest realms. RED VINYL. WHITE COVERS WITH BLACK/RED
STICKERS AND BLACK INLAY. PRICE: 6 €
THROBBING GRISTLE: DIMENSIA IN EXCELSIS (Tesco) LP

TROUM: AUTOPOIESIS (Small Voices) pic-LP
This picture disc was designed by SELDON HUNT (www.seldonhunt.com) with an
amazing artwork and include four exclusive tracks of beautiful drone music and hypnotic
& oneiric ambient experimental music.
"Autopoietic Transformations" [Troum, from the liner notes]: The four tracks on this LP
are all linked to each other, as they all use fragments or basic structures of their own. In
this way they build a circular system that relates only to itself, although it is at the same
time dependent from the environment (the producers). It is able to transform itself without
losing its integral whole and basic organization. Each track here acts as 'product and
producer', it has influenced or is a part of the other tracks and uses also parts of others. The
idea behind this is to see music as an own entity, that uses us to create and transform itself.
The idea is to change the regular viewpoint of seeing ourselves as the focus and being
separated from the environment. The world is not an object, nor is music. Music is in
ourselves and we are music, the same as we create it. PRICE: 15 €
TROUM VS. NID: IGNIS SACER (Herzbräune) LP

TZESNE: HUFFDUFF (Drone Records) 7"
TZESNE is quite a new project from Spain, who has only two brilliant CDR-releases out
to date. On HuffDuff's two tracks 'Enviar Ayuda Ahora' and 'La Voz Flamante' one dives
deep into mysterious sounds derived solely from radio-receivers, creating a droney and
eerie imaginary soundtrack to the communication between Submarines in the Second
World War. 'Something' is there in the sub-ether, but it can¹t be identified. Very thick &
foggy subliminal sound-waves, the time is standing still... [Drone Records]

VROMB: LOCOMOTIVE (.Angle.Rec.) 10"
Hot on the heels of his latest 10inch, Le Tourne-Disque, which gained a very strong
response from both fans and critics, Vromb strikes again with another 10inch release, this
time focussing on the concept of locomotives and railways. Originally commissionned in
1994 for a theater play, called Faire du Train, the sound material on this release was
recently re-worked and enhanced by the artist and it definately pursues on the minimal
technology approach found on many Vromb past and recent releases, with atmosphericoriented openings, intermezzos and closings, in the purest Vromb tradition. Upon hearing
the first seconds of the opening track, with the train passing in a desert plain, by night, at
an unstoppable pace, the listener will undoubtedly recall some childhood memories, those
moments when he heard the locomotive roar from the neighboring railway, seconds before
falling asleep... and was then dragged into organico-mechanical dreams... And then comes
the sloppy, fat, blueprint Vromb rhythmic section... PRICE: 8 €
XABEC: FEUERSTERN (Drone Records) 7"
"DRONE RECORDS is very proud to finally issue this long planned Drone by this prolific
German artist! FEUERSTERN (which translates as "Firestar") captures two tracks of
luminous tones & magnetic resonances which create a warm and floating aural flux. With
mellow concrete material setting the counterpoint, very subtle hisses, smacking & clicking
sounds can be distinguished. These are enriched further on Side B with field recordings by
MICHAEL NORTHAM made in September 2006 at the Audioframes Sonic Art Festival
41
in Herne. This was where FEUERSTERN was also performed in a choreographed way
using fireworks! Very delicate tone colours and a perfectly balanced sound pattern allow
for contemplative listening sessions... The 7" comes in a golden lettered & embossed grey
cardboard box with golden printed grey inlay. Filed under: GLOWING DRONEAMBIENCE
