YAO 91404 D - 'Stahlwinterbosheit' CDR (Operator Produkzion)

The very first album of YAO 91404 D, recorded in November 2001 and never released before. Raw old-school industrial, Einsturzende Neübauten infected by early Burzum, trance-inducing chants supported by rattle of metallic constructions and howling of electro-engines, manufactured hysteria, apocalyptic militarism on Marshak's poems, cover-version of cult Russian industrial / avant-garde project Communism, and finally - thunder-like speeches of Benito Mussolini to the accompaniment of Luigi Russolo's noise apparatus... Self-made plastic and sprayed metallic A5 folder with imprints of engravings with views of blockaded Leningrad. Ltd x 51 hand-numbered copies. Russian import

YAO 91404 D - 'The Worker's Song' CDR (Ostroga)

Catacomb old-school industrial with a totally analogue sound, built on metal percussion, squeals and buzzes of electro-engines, radionoise and tape loops. A song about locomotive and proletarian-futuristic verses are inserted between the industrial tracks. The 4th composition is a live transmission from the workshop where hard and sweating all over, but well-organized and gaily the locomotive is being born. Deliberately lo-fi quality, but with the burning eyes! Ltd x 160 in A5 packaging with insert. Russian import.

YURI ELIK / GOSHA SOLNZEV - 'Voices Of The Dead' DVD-R (Zhelezobeton)

Photographer and artist Yuri Elik is primarily known as one of the founders multimedia project 2012, creating audio-video installations for various contemporary art festivals (Heilige Feuer etc). Gosha Solnzev is the leader of the project Noises of Russia and has always claimed that he plays funeral music, so it's no wonder he showed interest in EVP. The exploration of this led phenomenon led to an effective cooperation between Gosha and Yuri, which resulted in a series of live performances with the "Voices of the Dead" program and this short film - 24 minutes of obscure psychedelic drama evolving in front of the spectator. A multi-layered collage of concrete visual images and kaleidoscopic colour constantly transforms, accompanied by unusual and uneasy sombre ambient with real EVP interlaced in it's structure. As a bonus this disk also contains a 12-min slide-film "City Spirits". Packed in a special cardboard sleeve with a booklet containing an encyclopaedic reference about EVP. Ltd x 250 hand-numbered copies only!
