>o< - 'Abyssal Jar' CDR (Operator Produkzion)

Minimal archaic sounds - accordion and some Jew's harp - but at the same time the whole palette of associations and emotions: Shamanic rituals, cold sounds referring to old school industrial, disturbing atmospheres, typical for military/martial, dark-ambient contemplation. The deliberate minimalism of artwork seems to challenge the listener to find his own visuals to the album in his subconsciousness... Ltd x 90 hand-numbered copies in an outsized cardboard sleeve. Russian import.

47 ASHES - 'Ragnarokaraoke' CDR (Melek)

After releasing a series of five limited (47 copies!) maxi CDRs, 'Ragnarokaraoke' is the first full-length album from the French project 47 ASHES. Hybrid crossbreeds of neofolk/industrial and pop references such as 'Abracadabraxas', Chthonic-O-Matics... Frater Saint Pierre sure has a particular sense of humour. The music is based on harsh loops mixed with basic sound samples recorded on a mini-disc. If you think you would enjoy NON with a French touch, then this is a record for you.

AAL - 'Disc 1 + Inherited And Partially Transmitted' 2 x CDR (AFE Records)

"Disc 1" and "Inherited and Partially Transmitted" were recorded by aal during 2001 and released in few copies as private editions by the artist himself. Both albums were remastered and given a new artwork for this release. "Disc 1" can be seen as a Deep Space Soundtrack: warm, melancholic cosmic drones, like looking at a starlit nightsky from behind a window, in the coldest hours of winter and was partly inspired by Stanislaw Lem's masterwork "Solaris" Passionately staring inward, "Inherited and Partially Transmitted" can be seen as an Inner Space Soundtrack with darker drone textures over which unearthly sounds, sourced from guitar and flutes, dance, twirl and crackle. Limited to 150 copies in a professionally printed sleeve.

AMBIENCE - 'Ciclos' CDR (Void Rekordz)

One long track (just under 40 minutes). Keyboards/pianos mixed with repetitive percussion and strings give this a soundtrack feel. Not the ‘calm ambient’ music as the label describes, but more of an upbeat and quite repetitive journey with a few surprises along the way! A hypnotic journey into oniric realms. Ltd x 100.

AMES SANGLANTES - 'Final Liberation' Pro-CDR (Kriegshurst)

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. Pro-duplicated CDR.

ANGEL OF DECAY - 'Bleeding On The Flowers' Pro-CDR (BloodLust!)

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

ANTI XXX - 'Dionysia Hysteria / Affective Psychosis' CDR (TIC)

We are extremely pleased to offer our first distribution of artists from the provinces of The Peoples Republic Of China! Very obscure psych-rock / near-improv sounding insanity. Think Highrise, Melt Banana, Marble Sheep, and Acid Mothers Temple even. Limited and hand-numbered to just 200 copies. Chinese import.

ANTI-VERSTAND - 'Electroorganics' CDR (Fight Muzik)

Re-issue of an extremely rare cassette (ltd x 50) on the Russian label YAO – from the mastermind behind YAO 91404 D. Now released in an even more limited CDR edition of 40 hand-numbered copies! Deep analogue harsh industrial noise with howling feedback - think early SPK. Consists entirely of sounds of electricity plugged into a human body! Handmade cardboard & string construction with hand-sprayed CDR. Russian import.

ANTI-VERSTAND - 'Untitled' CDR (Abgurd Subdivision)

Another catacomb project from Leningrad. This CDR contains all the tracks from tapes that were released by YAOP, except the ‘Electroorganics’ track. As a bonus, it has a sick, voice and synth session that took place during Summer 2005. Mind-erasing over-compressed harsh shit-noise made of radio-noise, prepared toys, fucked-up samples, voices, etc. Involves a member of YAO 91404 D. Ltd x 75 numbered copies in a hand-made textured sleeve with insert. Russian import.

Numbered and limited to 222 copies. Polish import.

ARKTAU EOS - 'Scorpion Milk' CDR (Aural Hypnox)

'Scorpion Milk' consists of a single album length track, which is best absorbed in a meditative state with minimum outside interference. It is truly a "Mirror Noir" to the album itself - its shadowy companion, the candle-bearer who responds to no call but silence itself. The music can be likened to a dark well, the oily surface of which not only reflects the phantasms of mind recalled through participation in the "Mirrorion" cycle, but is occasionally broken by scorpionic surges of primal Power invigorating the act of contemplation. Plastic slimline case with hand-painted textures and an insert card. Ltd x 222.

ARSZYN - 'Z Werszkow Pierwszy' CDR (Nefryt)

Experimental noise, strange rhythms, concrete sounds, post-Industrial, ambient, cut-ups, and a little darkness - but overall computer generated weirdness ala NWW or the true experi-collage sound artists. A difficult listen, packaged in a very nice foldout card A5 envelope in PVC slipcase with professionally printed artwork. Limited to 222 numbered copies. Polish import.

AS ALL DIE – ‘As Rome Burns The Band Plays On’ 3” CDR (Rape Art Prods)

One 13-minute track of lo-fi abrasive noise from this US artist. Similar to many American bands in the same ilk - Deathpile, Bloodlust, Gruntsplatter, Panicsville etc. Limited to 50 hand-numbered copies 3" CDR in a mini PVC sleeve.

ASONAR – ‘Sunnvortex’ Pro-MCDR (Khaos Productions)

The debut album of this Polish Dark Ambient project. "Agorafobia" is as cold as ice – "Dark and cool sounds are inspired by dead and huge space". Presented in an eye-catching triangular package. Pro-duplicated CDR. Ltd x 255 hand-numbered copies. A very nice piece indeed.

AXONE & KNOW - 'Night Of Deliverance' CDR (Somnambulent)

A descent into the darkness of faith, a soundtrack for ritual mass suicide filled with harsh noise washes, pounding metallic rhythms, dissonant drone collisions, experimental guitar, mutilated melodies and clinical vocal samples. Experience a night in the box deep in the smothering Guyanese jungle...packed in DVD box.

AXONE - 'Casus Belli' 3” CDR (Somnambulant)

Debut mini CD-R from Axone. An excellent presentation of three fantastically dark pieces, reminding me a little of early TEST DEPT, with recorded voices, electronic darkness, and scraping factory-like excesses. Really nice piece, and highly recommended. 20 minutes of music.
