Blood Axis - The Gospel of Inhumanity, CD OUT OF STOCK - The debut album of Blood Axis was sold out for many years now Tesco can present the rerelease of this milestone. Coming in the original digipack artwork. A blend mixture of military rhythms classical parts with traditional instruments and the strong voice of Michael Moynihan. (STRM 05) Factrix - Artifact, 2CD - set in special gatefold with 24 page booklet The origins of industrial music are often associated with England and central Europe, but an equally important incubation took place in USA-after all, it was the American cultural terrorist Monte Cazazza who happened to name the genre when he made a cynical remark about the need for creating "industrial music for industrial people." Fittingly, the eventual birth took place at the last frontier of America's dubious manifest destiny, the West Coast-California Babylon. Right in the thick of it was FACTRIX, alongside fellow performers and artists such as Z'ev, Mark Pauline, and Non. The first wave of nihilistic punk had already begun to unravel in its self-destructive fury, and the time was ripe for new musical initiatives to make a complete break with the previous rock and pop entertainment clichés. FACTRIX consisted of Bond Bergland, Cole Palme, and Joseph T. Jacobs (sometimes aided and abetted by Monte Cazazza). Together they raised an ungodly caterwaul using unconventional instruments and recording techniques. Combining modified electronic devices, a drum machine, and an innovative deployment of guitars and feedback, the band defied all formulas with a tortured sound that bore little resemblance to anything else occurring at the time. But while their contemporaries have found their way into the musical history books, FACTRIX have remained a ghostly memory for too long. Until now. With Artifact, the archeological history of FACTRIX has at last been exhumed and cataloged for the digital age. This two-disc retrospective features all their important studio recordings, newly remastered from the original analog recordings, along with a wide array of obscure live tracks and unreleased material from the band's own archives. Artifact features stunning photographic imagery from Ruby Ray (one of the visionaries who helped define the look of seminal publications like Search and Destroy and the original tabloid version of Re/Search) and others, along with a vintage interview from Slash magazine and extensive liner notes by Carlo McCormick, Stanislaw Sobelewski, and Michael Moynihan. The music of FACTRIX has lost none of its power or immediacy over the last two decades. As an embodiment of the terminal fin-de-siècle of the twentieth century, these sounds are ripe for rediscovery in the new millenium. This historical release will be of interest to anyone investigating the origins of industrial music, for the legacy of FACTRIX is its most grim and psychedelic chapter.(Storm 08) Sangre Cavallum - Barbara Carmina, CD - finally a new release on the great Storm label of Michael Moynihan by a very interesting medivial folk project from Portugal! They use bagpipe, chanters, flutes, tin whistles, mandolin, iberian lute, lyre, guitar, drums,piano, keyboard, organ, tambourine, accordion, snare drum, e-bow, and found sound together with vocals!

The Seküencias de Culto compilation is the final document, which marks the end of the most veteran Spanish magazine. Originally conceived as a ten-year anniversary edition, it ultimately developed into something different, due to its long postponed release. SDCzine was founded in 1.992, with the main purpose of providing a distinctive forum of music information. During the past twelve years, SDC evolved logically from its early issues of pure fanzine format. Through the course of time, we slowly began to offer a more professional layout, until eventually it became a fully printed magazine. In mid-2000, we also introduced a website; which was, during its first months, only a complement to the magazine, but later developed into our only medium of expression - in this form, only through the English language. "A Final Testimony" is a double CD compilation joining some of the musical styles and the projects that we appreciate most, either because of their important careers, or their more than promising future. All projects participate with exclusive tracks or, in a few cases, with remixes or live recordings of already published compositions. Comes in very nice double Digipak (SDC/HauRuck) SDC12 VA - Zu neuen Ufern in alter Frische!, CD - this is a low-priced Hau-Ruck label compilation with mostly unreleased material formerly came with the greece L'ame Electrique magazin!

The CD comes out with a 17x17 cm printed artwork and is strictly limited to 500 copies. 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. (Art Konkret) ART39 |

The Protagonist- Songs of Experience, CD - Are you one of those that wondered whatevered happened to The Protagonist? After the much acclaimed debut A Rebours from 1998, fans of meticulously crafted music at the intersection where dark ambient meets neo-classical have waited in vain for a new album. However, this shouldn't be mistaken for seven years of idleness on the part of Magnus Sundström. Rather the focus shifted to his other musical endeavour, the evil twin des Esseintes, as well as the launching of his own imprint, the much productive Fin de Siècle Media label. But after this summer's strong comeback, the Interim EP, the time has finally come for a new album. Just like A Rebours, the title Songs of Experience betrays the literary impact on the music. And just like the poems of William Blake, these compositions strive to forge a perfect marriage between romanticism and darkness, with most emphasis on the latter this time around. Of the eight tracks, some are reworked versions of rare compilation tracks and some are completely new. Taken together they show the steady evolution of The Protagonist in the 21st century, of an artist that treasure an impeccable end-product over fast turnarounds and proliferation. cmi153 Skin Area - Journal Noir / Lithium Path, 2CD -2 separate CDs together as a double CD in a strict design and limited to only 1000 copies in a 4-pages digisleeve. Featuring vocal contributions from Carl Abrahamsson (White Stains, Cotton Ferox etc...) and Ann-Marie Thim (Arcana) and several other guest appearances. Talk about being open-minded and actually being it is a virtue. The two gentlemen Martin Bladh (from IRM) and Magnus Lindh, set out on a journey to blow up the everyday expectations of common industrial music and we must say they really surpassed themselves. Years in the making, this experimental set of tracks presented as a double CD should be seen as two different works. Blending raging noise, ritualistic, flowing ambiences, shimmering guitar drones, intelligent beats, strangely structured bass-lines, hypnotic percussion, surreal and psychotic vocals as an instrument. Sublimely paying homage to golden creation, it never offers what you expect. Should you be the LEAST interested in something out of the ordinary and got the shakes for drastic changes, fast turns and full spectrum visions, look no further, you've got it right here! Might be chilly outside, but this certainly gives your body both physical warmth and mental discomfort.(CMI 150) Decadence - Where do broken hearts go? CD DECADENCE has been proudly signed to Cold Meat Industry for their first album since the "Something to love, something to spend" LP in 2003. With their new album "Where do broken hearts go?", Decadence manage to create a perfect harmony between sophisticated Neo-Classical and Neo-Folk music; dramatic classical orchestrations, militaristic snares and soft melodies played by piano and acoustic guitars. which accompanies the innocent and fragile female vocals of Eufrosyne, and completed by the cynical voice of Petros - a perfect combination of Romance and Sin. DECADENCE have released very limited vinyls on prestigious labels before, that were instantly sold out, so we are finally glad to present their new album to a larger audience. cmi147 Beyond Sensory Experience -The Dull Routine of Existence, CD -Presented in a 6-panel digipak Beyond Sensory Experience is back with their second release on CMI. On The Dull Routine of Existence, the Swedish duo find themselves carefully scrutinising the conventions of everyday life applying an impressive new take on their characteristic experimental dark ambient. This time delivering dark, complexly melodic and rhythmic waves of sound that penetrates mind and body. In short, this is definitely BSE at their very best! Beyond Sensory Experience was formed in Uppsala, Sweden in 2001 by Drakhon and K. Meizter. The Dull Routine of Existence is their second release on Cold Meat Industry, after starting their journey with four albums on the Italian label Old Europa Café.(CMI 154) Deutsch Nepal - Comprendido... Time stop!, CD - Finally this classic Deutsch Nepal CD is available again - and still as digipak. Within the school of industrialism, Deutsch Nepal manage to combine psychedelia with dark atmospheric ambience. The earlier releases has been filled with dark mourning sounds with ritualistic drumming that now burst out into aggression. Gone is the ethnic influence and you will meet a new form of electronic treatment and distorted voices earlier not used in the Deutsch Nepal sound-image.(CMI 49) Deutsch Nepal - Deflagration of hell, CD - the 1st D.Nepal Cd back in stock, an extraordinary document about the step of Deutsch Nepal to become one of swedens leading bands.

Beyond the malignant jail cells and narrow asylum walls, our hidden tormentors laugh at us from a world of smoke and mirrors. Kapnobatai, the third installment from Atrium Carceri, ventures further still into the wretched world beyond the place we so resignedly inhabit, and into the sublimely unkown. Shattered yet enlightened we are thrust forcefully through the illusion of our making, to the ancient sprawling city that is the one true testament to human achievment. The visions of the Kapnobatai (those who walk in smoke) are seen, heard and felt in this genderbending and exquisitely detailed black ambient album from philosopher/visionaire/composer/ artist Simon Heath. This is a place of ancient machines, rusty walls and whispered sighs. With lavish attention to detail this profound composition of the mind wrests the listener away from the mundane, perchance never to return.(CMI) Atrium Carceri - Cellblock CD, cmi125 (718750991126) Atrium Carceri - Seishinbyoin CD, cmi133 (7350020545016) Ataraxia - Saphir CD, BC-010 (718750991522) Ataraxia - Mon Seul Désir CD, BC-008 (718750 894328) Ataraxia - Lost Atlantis CD, BC-004 (718750886422) OUT OF STOCK Ataraxia - Suenos CD, BC-006 (718750 889829) Beyond Sensory Experience - Pursuit of pleasure CD, cmi137 (7350020545122) Blood Axis - Blot: Sacrifice in Sweden CD, CMI.X (7330986660107) Brighter Death Now - Disobey CD/DVD, cmi139 (7350020545139) - DualDisc (DVD+CD) release, coming in deluxe Embossed DVD-digipak cover!!! "Disobey" may just be THE ultimate release of Brighter Death Now, 2 live-shows presented as a DualDisc, both recorded in Rostock 1997 (CD) and 2003 (DVD) respectively. Brighter Death Now leaves no-one untouched with brutal and destructive industrial sounds, dealing with sinister and obscure topics concerning death/life, abuse and confusing love as a trademark. BDN has the past few years also become one of the more chaotic, charismatic and unpredictable live-acts in the industrial scene. With a charming sense of black humour BDN changes shape from a little rascal to a moral-majority hag dressed up for sunday commandment...something which actually happened during the show in Rostock 2003. Featuring for this special occasion; Roger Karmanik and Lina B Doll (Deutsch Nepal), two beautiful iron ladies ready to manhandle you! Don't miss this Disc!

Following the last album "1890" from 2001, this new work is more in the vein of 1998's "May all be dead": meaning slight punk mode ON.

Havukainen's brainchild back in 1988, the accumulated brilliance and overall excitement of every In Slaughter Natives release have far surpassed what any other band, man or woman can possibly accomplish over the extent of a lifetime; and this time is no different.We are awestruck by the bombastic mayhem and the classical agony of hell's philharmonic orchestra coming to visit, and we bow our heads in reverence to the frantic growls of the king himself grinning from his place in your living room sofa.This is pure brilliance; a masterpiece which proves that all these lonely years of everlasting anticipation have been worth the wait; In Slaughter Natives are back and still an untamed force to be reckoned with.This is the soundtrack to the rising apocalypse, the mad laughter of the heretic burned at the stake; this is the return of a king!” (CMI 135) In Slaughter Natives - Recollection CD, cmi103 (718750 894021) In Slaughter Natives - In Slaughter Natives (first album) CD (cmi104) (7350020545078) In Slaughter Natives - Enter Now the World CD (CMI.13) (7350020545061) In Slaughter Natives - Sacrosancts Bleed CD (CMI.16) (7350020545085) In Slaughter Natives - Purgate my stain CD (cmi129) (7350020545092) IRM - Virgin Mind DCD, cmi142 (7350020545177) IRM - Oedipus Dethroned CD, CMI.87 (718750 889522) IRM - Four studies for crucifixion 10", cmi119 (no code) Karjalan Sissit - Miserere CD, cmi117 (718750 895028) L.E.A.K. - The Old Teahouse CD, CMI.97 (718750 893727) Letum - The Entrance to Salvation CD, CMI.95 (718750 893222) Lithivm - Threshold to disharmony CD, cmi126 (71875991225) Mental Destruction - Straw CD, CMI.47 (no code) (out of stock) Megaptera - Songs from the Massive Darkness DCD, CMI.92 (718750 889928) Moljebka Pvlse - Sadalmelik CD, cmi113 (718750 990228) MZ.412 - Nordik Battle Signs CD, CMI.66 (7330986660664) MZ.412 - Burning the temple of god CD, CMI.41 MZ.412 - Domine Rex Inferum CD, cmi102 (718750 893925) Nod - the three little pigs and the big bad wolf CD, cmi120 (718750 990723) Nova - Utopica Musa CD, BC-007 (718750 893123) Olen'k - Silently Noisy CD, cmi134 (7350020545108) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio / Spiritual Front - Satyriasis, ….cmi144 (7350020545191) - The album combines two of today?s greatest talents in apocalyptic neo-folk and stands out as unique collaboration in this musical field!(CMI) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Cocktails, carnage, crucifixion & Pornography CD, cmi124 (718750991027) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Make Love, and War / Wedlock of Equilibrium CD, CMI.94 (718750 890023) Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio - Make Love, and War / Wedlock of Roses CD, CMI.84 (718750 889027) Ordo Equilibrio - Conquest, Love and Self Perseverance CD, CMI.64 (718750 887528) OUT OF STOCK Ordo Equilibrio - Triumph ov light and the thirteen shadows of love CD, CMI.44 Ordo Equilibrio - Reaping the Fallen...

In a most dramatic way it forces your will to desire for more, not only more of music but more of life. The bombastic male drums and snares are seduced by the romantic and feminine violins. The Protagonist's music is classic in design, strongly inspired by literature, film and the fine arts. For this recording accompanied by The Royal Dramatic Theatre of Sweden. 4 tracks 21 minutes of supreme Neoclassical music. - Lighten up your absinthe, sink down into your sofa, lay back and let your self be devoured by the romantic atmosphere of a early 1900- century - France - P aris - dreamers - thinkers - creators. Loose yourself in a theatrical world of beauty, mystery, nightmares.... here is the soundtrack to your dearest desires.(CMI) The Protagonist - A Rebours CD, CMI.65 Cyclic Law |

Svartsinn - Traces of nothingness, CD - The 3rd offering from Norway's Svartsinn could be acknowledged as the end of a trilogy, the first opus "Devouring Consciousness" was an album containing stories made during what the artist explains as being some difficult and rough times. The second offering, "Of Darkness And Re-Creation", was the process of trying to deal with these struggles and reflect on them. "Traces Of Nothingness" is simply the reaction, result and the path ahead in this ongoing, seemingly endless darkness. A slightly more melodic, sad and obscure side of Svartsinn that still keeps the cold and dark atmosphere that defines his sound. First 1000 copies in special Digipack. 8 Tracks. Running time; 50:57 (13th Cycle) Hildebrand, Gustaf - Primordial Resonance, CD - Gustaf's second full lenght is a unique, evolved experience offering you to embark upon an odyssey through ancient and lifeless surroundings. Sweeping ambient soundscapes and delicate textures mingle with the distant shrieks of surreal machinery - conjuring up images of abandoned and forgotten places, clouded skies and dead cities where time has been standing still. A captured moment from a strange no man's land lit by a perpetual gloom, Primordial Resonance is a voyage only limited by the imagination of the listener.First 1000 copies come in an oversized fold out cover (A5).6 Tracks.

First 1000 copies in Gatefold sleeve. 7 Tracks. Running time; 56:00(14th Cycle) Kammarheit -The Starwheel, CD - Sweden's Kammarheit has finaly returned from 2 silent years to offer us an eloquent, more profound and highly personal album.

First 1000 copies in Gatefold sleeve with Poster.

Othila - Continents, CD - ltd.500. After the now deleted "Elements", here's the long awaited second full length opus by Othila. This gemm is packed in a triple fold out digi-file, in the new Divine Comedy style. With this new recording, Othila celebrate again Mother Earth from continent to continent. Sharing, opening, discovering, and respecting are the words to describe this new album. The music, after the much more martial "Yula" 10" is darker and lurking. Eight long pieces for five continents and Atlantis. We can quote some dark ambient feelings here : the very emotive distinction of mighty ritual acts such as Lights in a Fat City or Hybrids with some incursions in the more modern and still filmographic darkness of Godspeed You Black Emperor or Biosphere . But don't make a mistake about this lines because everything in the world of Othila become more and more personal, dense and misty. This is an ethnic modern play, an another masterpiece from the french scene emerged from the end of the 90's ! (Divine Comedy DC043 Foundation Hope - A Call to all Redeemers, CD -the music of Foundation Hope creates pieces of dramatic's film music. The one that just reach you "au plus profond des méandres de l'inconscient". The band is influenced by ambient-acts like Raison D'être, Lustmord, or Robert Rich, but also post-rock acts such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Low and Mogwai. Intense and radical with a very 80's feeling. This release will come in a limited digipack aside the Horologium's forthcoming album... Both presenting landscapes illustrated by choirs, echoing & heavy menacing atmospheres. Sad and bleak soundscapes for a depraved religious institute, pretending to give comfort and light...500 copies. (Divine Comedy) DC042 A Challenge Of Honour - Seven Samurai, CD DC 040 A Challenge of Honour - Nacht fiel über Gotenhafen, 10"(Divine Comedy) DC017 - The second volume of the trilogy dedicated to the civilian martyrs of the 2nd World War . No needs to introduce you to the wonderful symphonic nightmare of A.C.O.H !!! It's a totally refined version from the early demo ... very limited ... no more comments !!! (Divine Comedy) A Challenge of Honour - Only stones remain, CD (Divine Comedy) DC008 - a powerfull & symphonic delight from netherlands, with tons of well placed samples with links to Blutharsch & Death In June and coverartwork by Jean Marc Dauverage who have done also some artworks for Les Joyaux de La Princesse! Empusae - Extra-Muros, mCD (Divine Comedy) DC024 - This is ltd.500 mCD . A dark-ambient one still in the realms of their surprising first CD . but without harsh-rythms or electro-industrial tempos In fact , it's sorta symphonic-ritual piece . the perfect companion for the recent releases of Divine Comedy ; we mean Reutoff and Land . (Divine Comedy) DC024 Empusae - Funestus, CD (DC 020) - This is the new exercise , on Divine Comedy records , by a young Belgian project called Empusae .How can we describe this ? In fact , it's a delicate assemblage , of sci-fi / horror movie music , crossed with the most abrasive and mechanical Rythmic-electronic music ..working on an imaginary scenario dealing with haunted houses or again , ( like ever with Divine comedy ) ... the End of Times . The cover art is mysterious , and it comes in a very amazing digi-pack . The point where the melody meets the Noise , beauty meets darkness , is incredible here... It features remixes + guests by Implant , Lith , This Morn Omina , H.I.V+ . (Divine Comedy DC 020 ) Komplex – Komplex, CD - first Cd by this frensh project known from the ‚trees on oscillation 2‘ compilation. Cool Android Electro with a amazing charming frensh girls voice! 23 tracks will completely let you stoned. Ist both abrasive, hypnotic, creativ. Land – Opuscule, CD - full lenght debüt after the 10’ on Eis & Licht ! Dramatic landscapes that remind of acts such as Sophia, In Slaughter Natives and Les Joyaux de la Princesse, but even SPK or the early style of In the Nursery. The concept for this album is based on the memory of an old man, passing by his life in his mind. Othila – Elements, CD - refers to chamanism and strictly denies the association between runes and political extremist groups! A great combination of Biosphere , Vassilisk , Rapoon , or Morthound's dark-ritual music , with a TOP cover art! S.A.T.K.A / sedarka – Living Twice, CD - ambient stuff & electronic breakbeats of two new belgian bands. Could be a perfect ‘Alien’ computergame soundtrack Fin De Siecle - Sans titre, CD (DC021) - again DC strikes with a French discovery ! Indeed the release of several demo tapes , ( now legendaries on the neo-classical world ) , it's there the first official release of Fin De Siecle. Fin De Siecle is largely dominated by piano's compositions , augmented with fine arrangements, from dark ambiant to 19th Century's orchestral soundscapes . It's terribly sad all around , and a cross beetween LJDLP , Semper Eadem or even Land , talking about French Romantism. comes in a nice digi-pack , ltd to 500 copies . (Divine Comedy DC021) H.I.V+ - Censored Frequencies & other mystic territories, 2CD ( DC019) - the end of a trilogy on a double Cd set. Harsh electro feat. Sonar, Empusae, Mimetic, and comers in a triple fold out digipak! Horologium - The Fire Sermon, CD DC 041 Land - 1988-1997, CD (Divine Comedy) DC 028 Land - Praha, 10"(Divine Comedy) DC025 - ltd.500 finally a new release after the well received ‚Opuscule‘ CD last summer. 'Praha' offers once more great Symphonic sounds by this French act! Two long tracks, a journey through sadness & mistery - . musically perfect!!! Listening to LAND, you always think of the best period in 'In The Nursery's opus or the early Dead Can Dance - but in a somehow 'colder' style, reminiscent of certain Cold Meat acts (Sophia, In Slaughter Natives...). Anyway, Land is NOT a pale copy at any of the afore-mentioned and this new 10" is stronger than anything else, released by LAND before! Othila - Yula, 10"(Divine Comedy) DC 027 - After his first great full lenght ( out Spring 2003 ), and an appearance on « Ombres et Lumières « ( Jean Marc Dauvergne's V/A tribute / Divine Comedy records 022) here are 3 new tracks from Othila. You'll be a spectator of Ancestral wars , a witness of middle ages occult rites To quote the leaflet : « Another eons old tradition also has survived, passed on father to son for generations untold, is the rite every born daughter of britannia has to pass when reaching her 12th anniversary. This is a rite of wisdom and strenght, marking the passage from childhood to womanhood, and an hommage to the godess Yula " ..Othila's Runes doesn't uphold any political meaning. Musically speaking , it moved from dramatic ambient to a most powerful and battlefield music; garmented with Cornemuses and choirs dedicated to the young and mighty Yula ... Strictly limited to 500 expl. Reutoff - Reutraum V, 7" (Divine Comedy) DC 023 - Here's the 5th release in this series - this time as beautiful 7"Vinyl with two dark & intense tracks; « todeslied » & « das gift » . Reutoff have become famous within a very short time thanks to their unique, very special cold, but at the same time emotional Russian ambient style.A sort of frozen electronica meets esotherical lanscapes.One could see REUTOFF's music as « ambient music for the very end of Times »!!! ltd.500. Reutoff also recently recorded an exclusive track for Divine Comedy, to be found on the wonderful « Ombres et Lumiéres » Book + CD. Rrupt - Traverser, CD (Egone) EGO 01 Sonne Hagal - Tarja, pic.7" (Divine Comedy) DC030 - ltd.500 two exclusive tracks , less folkier, much more frozen/Dark Ambient ! These two tracks are particularly deep and melancholic and represent the most 'cinematic' music we heard from them so far. H.I.V+ - Abstract & harsh ironworks, CD - harsh electro in the way of Ant-Zen or Hands releases! Land – Wien, 10" - limited to 500 Here's the second episode of the triptych dealing with Miss Célestine Orlac, reported missing in East Europa on a mysterious trip during the period between the wars... As always, it is limited to 500 copies and comes with a wonderful design. "Praha", the first episode of the triptych, was highly acclaimed "Wien", musicaly speaking, is probably the most powerful act of the series (and maybe from the band's history ever), as "Budapest", the (temporarily) final chapter (to be released in 2006) is already announced as the quietest... No needs to say the highest standards of the band are totally maintained here, and you can even notice that something has still improved all around... Land is a very scarce band, that'll never do gigs anymore, rarely do interviews and has only participated once to a V/A... but each work is on the top, and the band has never spoiled a release... Land has his own style, a sort of dramatic and lurking sadness, always appreciated by Cold Meat Industry's fans and the likes, but also much more... The french symphonic scene leads by the Divine Comedy's team has now found his own special way, with aesthetic and existentialism as main themes. (Divine Comedy) DC038 VA - Univers Carceral, 2CD + Book - with HIV+, Mourmansk 150, Babylone Chaos. ltd.500 copies. Univers Carceral goes far beyond the usual realms of musical industry... What we have here is a soundtrack supported by a complete work of about 100 pictures (taken by the Divine Comedy Records boss himself) showing the obscure and darkest places of his own town. This 100 pictures are the result of a four years shooting... The main title draw a parallel between the industrial noise movement (showing how our lives are conditioned, compartmentalized) and real pictures from the city where you can find similarities with carceral environments : walls, iron, agressivity, but also life and communication. The pictured city is Marseille, located in the south of France. The south suburbs are under construction, while the ones from the north are dilapidated, hidden. Something like a cross between Beyrouth and these towns where everything could happen at anytime. You can cross here a horse and a burning car there, an horrible building then nature... The terrific harsh-intelligent-industrial structures from Babylone Chaos, H.I.V+ and Mourmansk 150 (with remixes by Asche, Izloloscope and DJ Mauri) depict a realistic illustration of modern life in the carceral universe of mankind... (Divine Comedy) DC039 Lambwool – Fading Landscapes, CD + book - Here's a book with some beautiful photographies by Peter Bengtsen and an enigmatic text written by Nico Bally (his second contribution to DC after "Ombres & Lumières"). The music propose some ambient and ritual soundscapes created by the french project Lambwool (and Othila on some tracks). It occured to the label that both introspective works evolve on quite the same fields... Lambwool was born in 2000, the first demo, "Half Alive" (2001) won the D-Side Magazine's tremplin. The following year, he released a very critically acclaimed second opus. Lambwool music is now close to some Cold Meat Industry's dark-ambient pieces, with that strong meditative sadness you can find in the french's DC crew (Othila, Land, Fin de Siècle). More recently, Lambwool appeared as a guest musician on The Holeg and Spies album "Reality Drift" (Wirikuta records), with Tim Schuldt, Von Magnet, Shaolin Wooden Men and Mimetic.(Divine Comedy) DC035 Das Reut – Arte de Ben Morire, mCD - ltd.500 Das Reut is a side project of russian dark industrial's leading combo, the mighty Reutoff... Mid tempo rythmics flirting with dark-electronica (and even ebm), enhanced by some desperate and aggressive vocals, but without any intention of dance floor's conquest. There's also an 80's touch all around but the Reutoff's tragical and frozen atmosphere still remains... Let's add the artwork is composed of amazingly strange drawnings in a cool packaging ! (Divine Comedy) DC 037 Der Arbeiter – Reflejos del Sol, CD -This is first official release by Der Arbeiter. Born in 2001, this project can be roughly described as "military pop", with minimal electronics and acoustic elements. Although it incorporates epic martial tones, it is a bit far from the bombastic-Wagnerian mainstream associated to the military scene. It might sound even "poppy" at times, and does not reject dancefloors and DJ mixers. This "fin de siecle" BPM style was chosen to incarnate underlying forces (ancient, deep and archetypical energies) with influences from well known acts like Death in June (‘Nada!’ period), Allerseelen, Laibach and similar – yes even including 80's synth-wave! The image of’ the Worker’ expresses his will with sharpness, precision and strength: an alchemical trans-formation of nature. All these concepts converge in the music, which vary from industrial harshness to warmer and softer moods. Lyrics are based on the words of poets like Hölderlin, Rilke, Meister Eckhart, Miguel Serrano and others. Comes in Digipak (Divine Comedy) DC036 Tzolk'in - same, CD - Here's a split release by Empusae and Flint Glass under the name Tzolk'in ! A sweet and very organic work based around the Maya's civilisation... It'll be a superb 8 tracks digipack mastered by the emblematic and enigmatic Ah Cama-Sotz. The music can be described as an ambient but powerful and obsessive electronic piece. (Divine Comedy) CD033 Lith - Tribal End, CD - ltd.500 quite two years have passed since their last release on Divine Comedy records ! Their first opus was atomic-dance-floor-harsh-music, to quote some reviewers..Then, Lith did a lot of live appearences and v/a's featurings, for several labels such as Parametric, Kubernoise, Divine Comedy, Triton, or Zoomica... Now, Lith comes back with "Tribal End", a moodier album with strong fields as usual, but moderated by more tribal trance and echoing sounds. "Tribal End" is a 15 tracks album & includes some featurings and remixes by P.A.L, Izloloscope, Aql, S.To Cage, H.I.V.+, Empusae and Shizuka. It figures out both direction and intentions : diversity but in the great tradition of electronic's warfare..(Divine Comedy) DC034 Empusae / Oil10 - Scars, pic.10” - ltd.500 with "Scars", these two monsters bands offer a very beautiful 4 tracks split 10" about skin's delights and chirurgicals with plastics & silicons ! Skin's perforation and tattoos issued from two beautiful models complete the panorama. The music is very sensual and deep with an incredible powerful sound, as we can expect from this two professional sound lovers. All tracks are exclusive and were composed with this concept in mind. (Divine Comedy) DC032 LITH PYLON CD DC011 Omnicore - Mass Murderers, CD - Omnicore astonished the world some years ago with their debut-album 'Der Peaker' and now return TRIUMPHANT with a Industrial-Martial-Symphonic masterpiece! 'Mass Murderer is a surprising and convincing second opus for Omnicore "Mass Murderer" is a sort of response to what A Challenge of Honour's started here. Classical instruments with mixed vocals and martial beats, playing a cold funeral march. Omnicore intends to be the witness of human madness and throws us in an apocalyptic nightmare all in shades of black and grey... The heavy and bombastic orchestration, accompanied by a wishful and icy female voice, places Omnicore straight on the quality level of Der Blutharsch and The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud.

Black Lung - Silent weapons for quiet war, CD (Dorobo) E.P.A. - black ice , CD (dorobo) - Darrin Verhagen, in tugging on a thread of viciousness which has lain subdued and understatedfor most of Shinjuku Thief's backcatalog, was surprised to pull up a 42 minute slab of sonicviolence which is as unmerciful as it is exquisitely crafted. Under his new power electronicspseudonym 'e.p.a.' we find a finely balanced tension between visceral chaos and deliberatenastiness.If all the Shinjuku Thief albums which preceded it suggest the ghostly existence of a darkworld, "black ice" delivers the map, the accelerator and the searing pain upon arrival power electronics/noise.(dorobo) Shinjuku Thief - matte black, CD (dorobo) Shinjuku Thief - Medea, CD (Dorobo018) Shinjuku Thief - The witch hunter, CD (Dorobo) Shinjuku Thief - The witch haven, CD (Dorobo) Shinjuku Thief - The witch hammer, CD (Dorobo) Verhagen, Darrin - black frost, CD (dorobo). -If 'black ice' delivered the 'searing pain upon arrival' to the black|mass trilogy, 'black frost' serves as something of a gently uncomfortable antidote.

Driven by obsessive ideas and an uncontrollable will of producing quality ambience, he's the man of many projects - MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh, not to mention the successful recent collaboration with Masami Akita (aka Merzbow) -,but it's under his given name and very own grim fashion that Mr. Björkk delivers the most suffocating music around. Pitch black holes of sound meet glitchy, cold elektronika overtones and haunted minimalist atmospheres, building a foundation for rhythmic movements, detailed drones, distant rumbles and disembodied voices. The different shades of black and grey Nordvargr paints with have never been more disturbing and at the same time more beautiful. The definitive masterwork from the Nordic giant of modern dark ambient music! Mastered by Peter Andersson. (Essence) ESS004 Merzbow – Sha Mo 3000, CD (Essence) ESS003 - From the epicenter of endless, mutating noise patterns on the title track, emerges truly mesmerizing blocks of filtered pulses and wisely manipulated piercing beat attacks collected from the various sources and later fully deconstructed here.

Primus Inter Pares - Gerda, CD - PRIMUS INTER PARES is the new main project of Frank Machau, the voice and the musician of ORPLID. "Gerda" is a mutual move towards new pastures,towards more electronic sounds, towards atmospheric and organic music with delightful and dark melodies. PRIMUS INTER PARES love to experiment, to alienate, to slow down and modify their sounds. From these, they form a work of music that is completely electronic, even though it seems perfectly organic and natural. The music has a strong influence of Factory Records (NEW ORDER, THE DURUTTI COLUMN) and other good electronic stuff of the 80ies on this CD. With Frank Machau's strong, masculine, and distinctive voice you will not forget ORPLID, but PIP has nothing to do with the so called "neofolk".... Digipac, 6 tracks.(EIS047) Fergusson, Alex - the castle, CD - ALEX FERGUSSON, responsible for Punk classics such as "Action Time Vision" (ALTERNATIVE TV) and Pop hits such as "Godstar" (PSYCHIC TV), recorded "The Castle" within a few days 'live' in a studio. Thus, the songs come across in a very fresh and honest manner - he wanted to do that album in the same mode of working as he used with PSYCHIC TV in the early 80ies. The result is a very natural, short, but to-the-point album, starting off in an experimental, rocking and subtly psychedelic vein. It's pure Folk Noir.Some tracks for example are very 60ies-like - just as if VELVET UNDERGROUND had risen from the grave and recorded new songs. But other tracks brings you good and gently picked folk. And the sweet voice of ROSE McDOWALL (DEATH IN JUNE, SORROW, CURRENT 93) will remind you of Alex' abilities to write wonderful songs. Digipac, 12 tracks.(Eis048) Backworld – All that remains, 12´ EP .(Eis+Licht 042) - L.ed. 500, first new tracks from Backworld since 2003, accustic folk with a touch of pop.(Eis+Licht 042) Changes/Cadaverous conditions - Time, 10´(Eis und Licht) Eis 039 Folk Noir band CHANGES and Death Metal individualists CADAVEROUS CONDITION have collaborated on this strange and unique Split 10” vinyl. CHANGES, forefathers of Apocalyptic Folk music fill one side with their beautiful ballads and poems and deliver their first new material in many years, sounding as strong as on their superb “Fire Of Life” album. CADAVEROUS CONDITION on the other side offer a style that could be described as Death Folk, acoustic guitar songs with extreme vocals delivered with an equal passion. At the heart of this collaboration is the song “Time”: the singers of both bands joined together, performing a haunting Neofolk piece, perfectly melting their styles together. All this encircled by the violin of Matt Howden (SIEBEN, SOL INVICTUS). Another guest on one of the CC songs is Richard Leviathan (OSTARA). Dies Natalis - Abyss, mCD (Eis und Licht) Leger des Heils - Himmlische Feuer CD (EIS043) On 'Himmlische Feuer,' you'll find 9 new tracks of neoclassical hymns, melodic bombast, heroic chants, and pounding rhythms. It is dark-military-pop and dance music for the moving and mysterious moments in life. lte. 900, Digipak Leger des Heils – Aryana, CD .(Eis027) - Aryana shows us a more POPular Leger des Heils but luckily still enough emphasis on the military drumming and bombastic melodies….and German vocals of course!

(EIS037) Voxus IMP - Idafeld CD .(Eis045) - The ritual and experimental music by VOXUS IMP. is purely electronic, but with a pleasantly organic feel to it. If the listener is searching for comparisons, we should definitely point to WERKBUND, COIL, or early HYBRIDS.

Anthesteria - Nebesnaya, CD - The second Anthesteria album tells a story of a journey through a fragile world of emotions and perceptions known to everyone, Á sound realization of the author's diary. The atmosphere of the ghost winter city, the decadent but charming open-air museum called St.-Petersburg, which was the hero of the first CD "Beyond Nimbostratus" is still here, but it's just a scenery or background for multiplying illusions which make up the charm and value of human life. Keeping the trend established in their debut, Anthesteria added martial drums, recitative voice and some ethnic elements in a number of tracks. Raison D'Etre-like dark ambiance meets neo-classical strings and analogue synthesizers, at times the result sounds as depressive as some early Coil stuff. As its predecessor, "Nebesnaya" is also accompanied with a photo-booklet which adds a visual dimension to the album. CD comes in a full-colour aromatized fold-out digisleeve with a booklet, this edition is limited to 300 copies only. Der Angriff No. 24 (Indiestate IST035) Cisfinitum - Coniunctio, 2CD Cisfinitum is one of the oldest and well-known projects on Russian industrial scene, and shortly after their well-acclaimed 7" on Drone, Ewers Tonkunst is happy to present another international release of this remarkable project. This 2CD-set contains the tracks from the most gloomy and profound albums of Cisfinitum - "Landschaft" (released in 2001 as CDR by IVB Records) and "Malgyl" (previously unreleased), which have been recorded in 1999-2001. The material has been remastered and recompiled to become the new entity called "Coniunctio". Newborn album consists of two parts, "Worlds Of Retribution" and "Heavenly Russia", the first one contains most dark and depressive tracks, the second one presents brighter side of Cisfinitum. Going through the desperate landscapes of today's dying spiritless world, the listener comes into the sacred and surreal inner space of an immaterial land full of light, mysticism and universal melancholy. One of the most beautiful and heartful records ever done in the drone ambient style, "Coniunctio" could remind of the best and saddest Maeror Tri albums or legendary HOEDH "Hymnus", but the irrational Russian essence within Cisfinitum's music makes it unique and completely original. The real masterpiece which we are really proud to release! CD comes in a full-colour fold-out digisleeve. The edition is limited to 500 copies. Ewers Tonkunst HHE 009 CD (Indiestate IST 037) Clausthome - Radiophare [lampe d'ambiance], CD Clausthome is another project of the Latvian band Claustrum known for their great release on Old Europa Cafe. "Radiophare" brings the listener first class radio-noise in a vein of Bad Sector, Arecibo or SETI/Lagowski. This material was gathered during two years (under project research named Clausthome) using different ways of radio waves scanning, data gathered by radio telescopes and archives of universe research data servers. It was a sound analysis experiment, where material and after-processing of both Earth and cosmic authentic static radiation were used, applying different sound alteration programs and sampling methods, as well as sound synthesis creating music environment. It is a process of translation and transformation that leads towards awareness of that potential environment, which can be created using the gathered material. The CD also contains 3 videos made by members of Clausthome for some non-album tracks, one of them called "Untitled Radio" starts the upcoming series of audio-visual works by the same name. The release comes in a silver-black fold-out digisleeve with an insert and is limited to 500 copies. (Indiestate IST 034) |

Gerechtigkeits Liga – Hypnotischer Existenzialismus, CD The mysterious and legendary project Gerechtigkeits Liga has returned with a long awaited rerelease of 70 minutes of rare material, which was recorded throughout the middle of the 1980`s. The prestigous release comes painstakingly packaged in a elaborately designed silver printed six sided digipack which includes the rare 12" "The games must go on", which was originally released in 1984 on G.L`s own label, Zyklus records, in a small edition of 500 copies. Also now available for the first time as part of the collection is the LP "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus", which was originally released on SPK`s label "Side Effects", in 1985, at that time still being run by Graeme Revell. As a real gem there are 7 additional Bonus live tracks, 6 of which have never seen the dark of night. All tracks were recorded live in New York City, in 1984. The artwork of the digipack comprises some known cover reproductions and unknown artwork, which has been carefully integrated into the original coverdesigns. At the time of its conception the 4-track 12" Maxie "The games must go on", was a pioneering achievement of sound experimentation consisting of varying different rythmic layers and a diverse selection of tribal as well as "modern" percussive instruments. Tape manipulations completely replaced the use of samplers ( on the 12" as well as on the LP ). Synthesized equipment and drum machines were heavily treated through digital delays, making the sound very intense and powerfull. The expressiveness of the music comes partly from the spaces in between the notes. It is therefore mental as well as physical, for it is the mind that links some of the notes together... -The critically acclaimed LP "Hypnotischer Existenzialismus" contains 11 tracks and was partly influenced by the writings of E.M. Cioran. The "styles" are ranging from dark ambient, classic -old school post industrial and tribal industrial. It's a composition of apocalyptic soundscapes which open up into longer sequences of heavy drumbeats and minimal metal percussion, revered trumpet and Fanfaren sounds, animal screams and tribal chants. All with the possible aim to take the listener onto a journey of evolutionary stages throughout the 20th century and maybe beyond. -The G.L live bonus tracks from 1984 are a very valuable document and testimony of the cacophony, insanity and intensity of those unique, twisted yet enchanting G.L performances, suffused full of raw power and energy. Enjoy the destruction of their own eardrums and the progressive numbing in their senses. Gerechtigkeits Liga is presently working on new material, which will be released in the near future. This Gerechtigkeits Liga digibox rerelease is the first release of the new German label Isegrimm Records, from which you will be hearing more soon. EAN: 4038846770012 (Isegrimm Records 001) |

First Law - Beyond IO, CD - First released as limited CD/12inch set we can now offer the CD as midprice release! "Beyond IO" casts a large shade and proves once more the inimitable profile of this artist. Twanging sculptures manifested by an immense power of frequencies are falling like a tempest into a sensational and pulsating world always stored by multilayered levels. 70 minutes of musical reconnaissances enmeshed in a homogeneous resonance and represents the equilibrium of modulated sound research, electronic songwriting and an not-ending innovative stream of ideas. Close your eyes and open your ears and dig deep into a galaxy generated by tonal and artistical visions. Enter the plateau of ultimate sounddesign and enjoy the view from the observation tower over all categorical perception! LOKI 37DC 042 - Herbst 9 - Buried Under Time And Sand CD - With their third full-length recording HERBST9 setting another milestone in the field of serious ritual ambient music. The tracks on "Buried under time and sand" consisting of multi layered motives which emerge again and again, raising deeper into walls of sound, breaking to an absolute collapsing silence that blends into enduring drones & humming carpets in order to unload itself again. Laminar, resounded high and low frequencies complement each other here with dark impacts and percussive elements that reminds of long forgotten cultures. 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. Comes in beautiful digipack and extensive booklet. (LOKI 39) Inade - Colliding Dimensions, 4CD BOXset Inade - Colliding Dimensions, 4LP BOXset - At the intersection between dreams and ears wide open cognizance, between the known reality and the spiderweb cluster of dimensions dissecting it, reside the premier purveyors of dark ambience, Inade. But it’s more than simple dark ambience that they traffic in, for their dreams are vast and unrestricted, and their imaginative, ears wide open approach to sound manipulation is audacious and unparalleled. It’s as much weird ambient as it is dark ambient; strange, perplexing sounds in which origin must be questioned. Arcane musings from the cosmic wasteland collide with insectiod utterances culled from ancient alien terrain; deep audio ripples pulsing across dark matter plains collide with the ephemeral flotsam of German occult murmurings. Pterodactyl’s squeal in atavistic joy, space itself breathes--inhalations like crackling Cthulhuian dread, exhalations etched on the machinery whine of Forever--and the ever shifting cartography of the infinite is sonically translated along the ridge of collision, where Inade dare to explore. What remains is incomparable: the audio mythology they have nurtured, and the legacy that is Colliding Dimensions. Announced for several years we can finally present the long requested compendium of INADE that closes a circle from near the starting point of the project to their Peryt Shou release and concert in December 2002. All material of this set was recorded and sculptured during live shows and rehearsal sessions from 1995 to 2002 and was especially selected and mastered to receive high quality audio recordings with no compromise in sound. A third of the tracks has not been released in any form yet and this release brings back as well a lot of long sold out material like Vitriol, Flood Of White Light and more in new and powerful live versions. The vinyl edition is limited to 525 copies only.(LOKI 38) Ionosphere/Land:Fire Of Mind And Of Abyss 12inch (available from 20th December) After their well attented full length works recently released via Tesco and Loki both German units now digging deeper into their cosm of sound with this split EP. A brilliant slice of sonicscape-ambient, like a thick black stream of plasma crawling from places we are not yet ready to go. Places where thoughts and desires, fears and pain manifest in reality. Majestic waves of droning sound and pulsations overlayed by whispering vocal samples, cavernous resonances and dark analogue machine noises. A deep shivering cosmic ambient work beyond the edge of the imaginable. Edition of 475 copies. LOKI/PAS 20 Ionosphere - Angular Momentum CD - With the first full length work of this German project another remarkable release in dark and space ambient has earthed that accompanies with the classic works of this genre. The ten tracks on this album following their previous 10inch release on Avatar Records, creating a giant sphere full of thick and brooding soundscapes with thunderous eruptions, imploding stars, ghostly voices, powerful machine noises and pulsing rhythms. On "Angular Momentum" IONOSPHERE probing the darkness until it´s deepest core! Digipack CD. (Loki-PAS 19) First Law - Beyond IO CD/12" SET - First Law's potency of sound increases with each release in atmosphere and recounting interaction. "Beyond IO" casts alarge shade and proves once more the inimitable profile of this artist. Twanging sculptures manifested by an immense power of frequencies are falling like a tempest into a sensational and pulsating world always stored by multilayered levels. The 12inch/CD set contains 90 minutes of musical reconnaissances enmeshed in a homogeneous resonance and represents the equilibrium of modulated sound research, electronic songwriting and an not-ending innovative stream of ideas. Close your eyes and open your ears and dig deep into a galaxy generated by tonal and artistical visions. Enter the plateau of ultimate sound design and enjoy the view from the observation tower over all categorical perception! Gatefold LP sleeve, limited 525 copies. (Loki 37) TURBUND STURMWERK s/t CD (Loki36) Finally, after nearly 8 years this sensational album is returned to the homeland, manifesting once more the piercing effect of Turbund Sturmwerk. 6 stormy compositions--beautiful and poignant--linking the subtle concept with innovative sounds and arrangements. With this first album, a collection of tracks was compiled seeking independence and continuity of a musical style - Neurosemiotic Marching Tunes at it's best. This masterpiece is a milestone of the post-industrial culture and affected the scene world-wide. The recordings were digitally revised and enhanced, so that they radiate now in a clean, insidiously pristine new light. Turbund Sturmwerk polarize calculated, set gauges and create music like a functional text - acoustic information as sophisticated reading. This introductory work is the often referenced catalyst within the Turbund Sturmwerk catalogue, bent on changing the expectations of the listeners, altering the norm and creating a manifesto for things to come. Digipack! Predominance - Hindenburg, CD - Because of the sold out status of all PREDOMINANCE releases and the highly acclaimed original Hindenburg MLP back in 1998 the re-release of this instant classic on Compact Disc will be available now.

It contains four unreleased / re-recorded tracks and remixes, as well as the original Hindenburg material taken from the source archives in high standard remastered sound. This album is a masterpiece of symphonical songs with majestic vocals and brooding, dark ambient sonic-scapes,perfectly round off by an exclusive remix track of INADE.

Clock DVA - Buried Dreams, CD (Nextera)ERA9815-2 Legendary and most wanted (but long time deleted) album from Sheffield's industrial band Clock DVA formed by Adi Newton in late 70's was originally released in 1989 as DVA's fourth official album and the first one using solely electronic instruments and samples. The album was written and recorded in 1988 by Paul Browse, Dean Dennis and Adi Newton. 10 years later was digitally remastered and re-released with the cooperation of Paul Browse and Dean Dennis by czech independent label NextEra. It is almost unbelievable how unique and innovative sound this album has after so many years of its creation! This release is absolute must for all electronic music lovers! (Nextera) Liles, Andrew - My Long Accumulating Discontent, CD . ERA 2035-2 - the fourth and certainly the strangest recording from Andrew Liles. This CD is in places more 'melodic' than Liles' previous output and its 17 tracks cover a wide musical territory. Some songs are short and harmonious, other pieces are longer, subtle and contemplative with drifting delicate drones. In places the CD is truly bizarre and defies all conventions. The album doesn't fit easily into any definable bracket and we feel this oddity belongs in a class all of its own. Traditional English vernacular culture connoisseur Andrew King joins Andrew Liles for one track and Aaron Moore and Nick Mott of Volcano the Bear contribute to several other songs. A distinct and peculiar excursion from the norm. (Nextera) ERA 2035-2 Lustmord - Metavoid, CD (Nextera) ERA 2008-2 Re-release of the Lustmord's critically acclaimed and ground-breaking dark ambient album "Metavoid" - originally released 21st of May 2001. Being out of print for some years, now due to the public and distributors demand is finally again available! The seventh Lustmord release, and the first since 1994's "The Place Where The Black Stars Hang", "Metavoid" presents the logical development of that unmistakable Lustmord sound, and pushes further into new depths which raised global interest in Lustmord's originality as the musician and sound engineer. Track 5 featuring Paul Haslinger on additional keaboards and track 2 featuring Steve Roach on bullroarer! While musical fads and fashions all too often dictate form and function, Lustmord has no desire to be constrained by categories. While Metavoid is born of it's original industrial and soundtrack roots, and passes through contemporary electronica, it looks forwards and beyond the new dark age. The Power of Sound. (Nextera) Lustmord - Zoetrope, CD (Nextera) ERA 2014 2 The eighth Lustmord release presents the darker sound of Brian Williams and again pushes further into uncharted depths. Consisting of both the music and extensive sound design of the movie, melted and mutated to recapture the atmospheric nightmare of the world that is Zoetrope, where walls breath and dreams become nightmares. Originally conceived as a two month music and sound design project, it quickly evolved into a three year journey into madness, as Zoetrope the movie became a complex exercise in pure cinema and sound. Inspired by Franz Kafka's story "The Penal Colony", this CD packed in 6 page digipack is expanded and revised original soundtrack of the short Zoetrope movie. A glimpse into the world of Zoetrope can be gained by viewing the video trailer included on the CD. To achieve the best sound quality possible this album was mixed using 24 BIT digital technology and additionally mastered using 32 BIT technology. The result is truly amazing for the Compact Disc format and is close to DVD Audio and SACD sound quality standards, and is of true reference quality! (Nextera) Matousek, Vlastislav - Shapes Of Silence, CD (Nextera) ERA 2039-2 An electro-acoustic composition for Tibetan bowls, pipes, percussion, Singing Fountain of The Royal Summer Palace Of Queen Anne in Prague and sound objects. Performed, recorded and produced by Vlastislav Matousek - legendary czech composer, multiinstrumentalist and professor of ethnomusicology and music theory. "As the bones of creatures that lived in the past have left their imprints in stones and we can only think and dream of their resemblance, sounds can also leave their imprints in various real and imaginary "spaces" around us. Although the sounds has faded out before our time, they may still be present as reflections of the past, as Shapes of Silence. And perhaps, they can even speak." Beautiful and unique deep ambient recordings! (Nextera) Oöphoi - Hymns to a silent sky, CD (Nextera) ERA 2038-2 An album of epic, deep, evocative space music that stretches out in front of you in its own infinite universe of sounds. The music is deeply connected with the mysteries of the sky: clouds moving slowly, delicate and dramatic colors merging together beyond the horizon line, winds carrying voices and sounds from distant times. A remarkable work full of poetry. According to general reactions - Oophoi's best album so far! (Nextera) Oöphoi - Mare Imbrium, CD (ERA2028.2) First part of digitally remastered Moon Trilogy releases. Chalenging music to drift away with a deeply atmospheric listening experience inspired by the most obscure Sea of the Moon - Mare Imbrium - the Sea of Storms. Dark synth washes, subtle noises, the distant voice of the Goddesses and deep slow resonances create a trance-like soundscape which asks for a careful listening to uncover its secrets. (Nextera) Oöphoi - Mare Tranquillitatis, CD (Nextera) Era 2026-2 - Instruments: digital and analog synths, samples, tibetan singing bowls, stones, electronics. The most mysterious Sea of the Moon inspired this monumental work of Italian droning artist Oophoi. The music leads us through different levels of space ambient music, from vast and resonant alien soundscapes to mystic and solitary drones for bass flute and electronics. At times reminiscing of Robert Rich's first works, with sustained and undulating chords. Mare Tranquillitatis is a masterpiece of slow atmospheric space music! (Nextera) Era 2026-2 Oöphoi & Tau Ceti - Subterranea, CD (Nextera) ERA 2029-2 After their acclaimed debut CD release "Celestial geometries", considered as one of the best space albums ever, italian sound sculptors Oöphoi and Tau Ceti are back with the long awaited second CD "Subterranea", inspired by a book about the myth of Agharti, the hidden realm located in central Asia. Vast sonic explorations with synths, flutes, stones and shells, ranging from subtle and mysterious atmospheres to highly dynamic passages, describe this out of reach underworld. The last part of the long suite "The chamber of eternity" features the unique sound of the tibetan singing bowls of Klaus Wiese. After the outer space adventures of their first CD, "Subterranea" deals with the inner space. (Nextera) Roach, Steve - Space and Time, CD (Nextera) ERA2031-2 An Introduction to the Soundworlds of Steve Roach. This mid-price compilation offers a unique overview of the nearly 20 years of groundbreaking recordings from noted ambient pioneer Steve Roach. Excerpting tracks from his 13 Projekt CD's, Roach hand-selected and mixed these pieces into a perfect flow which serves as an ideal insight into his vast recorded history. "Space" and "time" are two themes that run constant in all Roach's music. Rich with emotion and nuance, his sound creations evoke a strong sense of space and atmosphere while simultaneously altering the perception of time within that space. Roach has earned his position in the international pantheon of major ambient-atmospheric-electronic artists. Fueled by his prolific nature and uncompromising approach, Space And Time invites the listener on a 74-minute journey into the extraordinary soundworlds of Steve Roach. (Nextera) Project Thee Three - Antimother, CD (Nextera) ERA 2033-2 The dark ambient / experimental / post-industrial equivalent to the parts of the alchemical process of transmutation. The disturbingly hypnotic and intoxicating atmosphere of monumental sound layers is cut by beats of "iron thunder" in mechanically exact intervals. With each beat the swarm of shades becomes denser and denser, which evokes uncertainty and anxiety balancing on the edge of madness. Antimother is a follow-up to czech ambient-industrial pioneers - The Three, whose works foresaw and predestined the musical algorithms and the development of czech industrial scene. This CD also include their legendary studio session from 1995. After 8 years of hibernation they have metamorphized into Antimother. (Nextera) The Hafler Trio - Cleave: 9 Great Openings, CD (Nextera) Released as "Part The First" of the "comeback" Trilogy and the first new CD release by h3o since 'Hljodmynd' from 2000 (though that material was already recorded in 1995). CD album is packed in "deluxe" embossed paper wallet with special transparent wraparound! Cleave is a 62 minutes long piece which slowly changes, with a very wide sound, low and very resonant. It's almost ambient or 'meditative music' with very special atmosphere, and a few suprises - because maybe...it isn't! Source material for this album was recorded in 1999 for Andrew's friend's wedding ceremony in Nepal! Andrew's unique drone recording at its best! (Nextera) The Hafler Trio - No Man Put Asunder, CD (Nextera) DS58 Second part of the trilogy. One of the most austere works by the Hafler Trio so far. This is a different version of 'Cleave' bringing a darker aspect to the form than the former. Housed in a very special cover (embossed special paper) with enclosed booklet this is not to be missed. Edition of 1500 copies. Playing time: 67:57 min. (Die Stadt) The Hafler Trio - No More Twain, Of One Flesh,CD (Nextera) ERA 2022-2 Third and final part of the trilogy. CD is packed again in "deluxe" embossed paper wallet with special transparent wraparound! Again, this is over 60 minutes long piece which slowly changes, with a very wide and resonant sound, but for sure most surprising and experimental work of all three parts! "Finally, the villan is revealed. the inspector gathers the guests into the drawing room to reveal that the culprit is within their ranks. Small children cheer, grown men faint, and women weep and clutch their bosoms. the sunset comes blindingly into view, and the credits roll over it. "My God!", says one onlooker to another, "now it all makes sense!" final, and yet not final, this installment sees the end of the cycle and the beginning of a new one. the resonances of the past combined with the present make the creation of the now. the word is uttered."

Lethal Dose 50 - 21st century awakening, CD - the poison dose injected into the veins of persons sentenced to the death penalty in some states of the U.S.A.… but LD50 is also a Belgian trio which has been existing for years in the fields of electronic musics. After a self-released first tape and first CD-R, the first full-length CD by this talented unit. Using some digital instruments - synths, samplers- as well as some analogue ones -synths, rhythm'n box, effects,… LD50 develops an atmospheric music which is at the same time dark but warm, cosmic and experimental, melodic and deep, meditative but aware, often underlaid by some sampled voices and sound-collages, sometimes intermingled with/ intersected with some hypnotic rhythms. Being fully mastered and definitely original compared to some nowadays releases from the dark-ambient genre, "21st century awakening" will both appeal to the nostalgics of the 70ies and 80ies sonorities (old-school space-electronics from the 70ies and 80ies) such as TANGERINE DREAM, NOCTURNAL EMISSIONS..as well as to the lovers of some nowadays dark ambient acts such as SCHLOSS TEGAL, INADE, HERBST 9 or FIRST LAW… LD 50 is certainly the sole musical project able to set a bridge between these two tendencies, these two sounds, these two periods. "21st century awakening" will appeal as much to the soul as to the body, to the mind as to the heart. At first listening, this record may seem a little bit strange to you, like being out of phases, but the following listenings will draw you into an endless spiral similar to the one painted on the sleeve. Allow yourself enough of freedom for that. CD re-mastered by Christian RENOU, housed in an original A5 size silk-screened fold-out cover. Paintings by Leyla ERSEN.64 minutes/10 tracks.

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 The reputation of their live performances -combining music, theatrical elements and installations- went over the frontiers and the band was programmed at the fifth Deadly Actions festival in november 2002.
