| 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."

| 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...

| 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.

| 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..."

| FIRE IN THE HEAD | MEDITATE/MUTILATE | (Eibon Records) CD |
![]() |
The straightjacket has been removed, the medication has worn off and the delusions have intensified. F/I/T/H has returned to spread the poison with “Meditate/Mutilate”, a schizophrenic and volatile mix of seething, harsh electronics, dark ambience and tortured vocals. From the blackest depths of neurosis to the apex of unrestrained psychosis, the ten tracks on this cd hone F/I/T/H’s dual-edged blade to perfection.
The assault has just begun. There's a world out there. Prepare to bleed.[Eibon Records] PRICE: 12 € |

This is first OMS Records CD!
"Corona Astralis" is a consequential follow-up to the 2000 "Motherwards" CD and in the long run fundamentally represents development of the project, carefully combining early 1998-2001 death ambient/industrial experiments with recent ever generating solid electroacoustics, harsh electronica and dronesque synth multistructures, all to be ultimately finallized as integral one of the world in a grain of sand...

6th album of this project and absolutely unexpected work for those,
who follow the thread of this amazing project activity. In

of popular songs by soviet and east european musicians, including
among others vadim kosin, maya kristalinskaya & edita pjecha.

divine love, bloody anguish, ascetic pride interwove with gradually
ephemerizing images of parents in neverending anticlockwise movement"

![]() |
The 5th full-length album from First Law surprises once again with a huge amount of stylistic variety and proof that he is the ultimate cosmonaut of the inner spheres... "Chaos Structure" is an hallucinogenic maelstrom, every note and sound telling a different story taking the listener on a journey through unseen areas of modulation and alienated reality. All compositions are cautiously built to create a majestic flowing soundworld full of structures and outstanding melodies layered with percussion and rhythm.

| FIRST LAW | TERRORFORMING | (Loki Foundation) CD |
![]() |
The 6th full-length album of FIRST LAW is setting real moments of artificial and creative substance. Intermittent bass and percussive elements as well as thrilling sound structures arrange a wide aural spectrum from ambient to drones through analogue modulations to complex compositions with outstanding vocals on top. Conceptually don't get it wrong, this album is not about religious airheads getting their way. This is not about the threat terrorist attacks impose on any of us, nor has it the intention to proliferate violence as a viable way to change the status quo. At the least, as long your opinion stands against the opinion of the majority, you are pretty much out of luck. No, this album is about leverage; it is about deception and opportunity, by accident or by design; it is about resignation and self-delusion; but most of all, this album is about fear.

| FISTULA | LESSONS IN LAMENTATION | (Crucial Bliss) CD-R |
![]() |
At some point last year, the members of Fistula met up with another Ohioan, Steve Makita from the midwest power-violence legends Apartment 213, midwest power-tool noise legends Lockweld, and current second throat for Agoraphobic Nosebleed. At some point, both of these parties decided that joining forces would be a good move and had Makita lug over his toolbox to the Fistula practice space and drag out some of his most lethal circuit-shredders, keyboards and power tools. The end result are two new discs, Lessons In Lamentation and Inverted Black Star, each one possessed by a single hour-plus track of Fistula with Steve Makita conjuring fucking HUGUNGOUS slabs of apocalyptic free-metal. And it's Fistula's most abstract, demonic music ever, a charred mess of harsh electronic skree and gut-rumbling noise and unholy doom metal.
In contrast to it's companion disc Inverted Black Star, Lessons In Lamentation sounds like it's virtually "rocking". Where Inverted spews monoto-riffs and malevolent power tool noise across the jet-black waste of it's hour long length, this jam is more upbeat, opening with a massive chugging sludgy metal riff that cycles over and over, slowly joined by a swarm of sizzling feedback and high pitched sine-whine. Crazed shredding solos appear, the central riff changes shape throughout, the whole track seems to be split into three distinct sections. It's super hypnotic as Fistula grinds away endlessly surrounded by Makita's dense and textured noise. Deep monstrous vocals emerge from out of the filth, gutteral invocations that are impossible to decipher. A massive plodding industrial dirge, a meditation on repetitive metal riffing and the blackest feedback, recorded all the way in the red, a majestic crumbling obelisk of monstrous noise-doom.

And it's Fistula's most abstract, demonic music ever, a charred mess of harsh electronic skree and gut-rumbling noise and unholy doom metal.
The title itself points to the pure blackness of Inverted Black Star: a massive hour-plus wave of bleak, blackened improvised doom riffing, only one or two riffs tops, but each one repeated over and over into infinity as the band and Makita pile on layers and layers of corrosive feedback, pneumatic drill noises, slicing sinewave tones, long black tentacles of undulating drone. About halfway through the disc, a voice begins speaking underneath the crushing sludge and noise, and it creates an effect similiar to hearing a television news bradcast about something really bad from four rooms away, only to sink back into the lumbering, monotonous deathtrance. Utterly crushing. PRICE: 8 € |

The songs layer cosmic and synthetic sounds and go on tracing according to the principle harmony in the music, their acoustic space seems very expansive, it is by no means over-crowded, voices creeping crosswise into sounds and effects to lunar spheres and solar places, exactly the correct nuance at refinement not only to remain in the ear but also simply very charming. Behind this project hides one of the INADE Masterminds, who recorded nine tracks supported from several musicians, those clearly possesses more songcharacter than the work which appeared from the Lightchannel so far, five remixes and interpretations of ANTLERS MULM, BAD SECTOR, FIR§T LAW and LOVESPELL on the second CD support the complex character of the whole release and expand the border to a new style of Ambient Songs.

| FOLKSTORM | ORTODOX | (Old Europa Cafe) CD |
![]() |
Screaming vocals, harsh analogue filter sweeps, pulsing distorted sines and squares... Folkstorm has never sounded this angry and mean.
Maybe it is a reflection of the current state of things - regression, massunemployment and a corrupt financial system about to implode.
Ortodox is a return to the fine tradition of making music all analogue - no computers, no sequencers or modern trickery. A pure celebration of classic Swedish Industrial music, and a protector of values that are about to be lost. [label info] PRICE: 12 € |

| FOUNDATION HOPE | TUNES FOR THE WOUNDED | (Cold Meat) CD |
![]() |
‘Tunes for the wounded’ can be considered a lament. It is a defamatory accusation to the world and it’s suffering. Foundation hope lodges complaints through gritty ambient-industrial structures, broken sounds and despairing moods. Always without losing touch with the beautiful and melodic. Always with that tiny bright spark of hope, overshadowed by doubt and cynicism.
This successor to ‘The faded reveries’ is a little more harsh. Incorporated are distorted guitar drones, tape-decks, broken strings and noisy outbursts. Firmly rooted in reality, this is tears dropping slowly, a herd crawling through mud and blood, and a call to a redeemer who isn’t there. PRICE: 12 € |

The first recorded offering from twilight-psyche dronerock duo FULCI. Deep, rumbling, 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 Scott Hull at Visceral Sound. [Crucial Blast]

![]() |
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.

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. [MIR]

-finally a new album by Genocide Organ! it's been near five years since "The truth will make you free" was released in 1999.

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.

| 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 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 post-industrial accents twinkling in it, with unique style aesthetics unrolling and blazing in unconventional loops of dark and hypnotic ambient and frozen industrial pulse.

| 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.

| GOLGATHA | TALES OF TRANSGRESSION & SACRIFICE | (Cold Meat) CD |
![]() |
‘Transgression means to step over a certain point that normally cannot, or should not be passed; to transgress boundaries is to break down boundaries — transgression is a departure from the given, the existing, the normal, the world as we know it.’
The French philosopher Georges Bataille serves as the inspiration for the new and third fulltime album of the German ritual-folk-band :Golgatha:. Founded in 2004 by Christoph Donarski and S. Marleni, :Golgatha: began in the dark realms of ambient-drones and continually developed their use of acoustic instruments to create a unique mixture organic and electronic elements. After two acclaimed albums on the subject of heroism, ‘Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice’ marks a certain change of course in the music of :Golgatha: – in a psychonautic trip from ritual-drumming via multi-textured soundscapes up to catchy folk-songs this album appears even more sensual, erotic and fascinating than before. Included are new versions of the songs ‘Rites of Spring’ (from CMI-compilation ‘All My Dead Friends’), ‘Garden of Love’(from NONPOP-compilation) and ‘Flesh of the Orchid’. This time :Golgatha: introduce the beautiful female voice of Sorakey besides a wide variety of acoustic instrumentation (acoustic guitar, viola, bodhran drum, Asian gong, flutes etc.). ‘Tales of Transgression & Sacrifice’ was produced in close collaboration with German photo-artist Birthe Klementowski, who has done mystic and erotic pictures for each song contained, reproduced in the booklet. The new album by German ritual-folk-band :Golgatha: will appeal to fans of apocalyptic folk, shamanistic soundscapes and gothic-mysticism alike. Comes in a very exclusive DVD-sized digipak with 32 pages booklet. PRICE: 13 € |

[Artist statement] “The Frogs” is our most recent project. It is the second installment in the “Fauna” series coming step after “…for electronics and birds” (Stateart). As it says in the title this album is dedicated to the frogs and represent our collaboration with singer Victoria Hanna.
We met Victoria, amazing vocal artist from Jerusalem, a couple of years ago and from the very first time it was obvious for us that we’ll do something together. We played several concerts of chants vs. electronics in Israel and USA. One day Victoria sent us a tape with her vocal improvisations that she has recorded using some of our casual live recordings as a playback. She wrote: “Do with that what ever you want”. So we did. We decided to create a totally new piece from this material. We used a lot of different techniques: from field environmental recordings to live electronics, from electroacoustics to pure synthesizer music, from free noise improvisation to endless drones. There were no compositional or conceptual limits except one thing: we tried to reconstruct that amazing feeling of infinite astonishment that probably Tutuola’s palm-wine drinkard felt traveling to the town of ghosts. Something we felt every time we got together with Victoria and started to produce sounds. PRICE: 12 € |

| GYDJA | HELCHEMY | (Afe Records) CD |
![]() |
Abby Helasdottir has been creating music since 1995 under the name Gydja (an Old Norse word for "priestess"). Initially, the aim of the project was to create music that could be used for magickal and shamanic purposes.
The current style of Gydja differs from the initial intentions of the project, with music of both a mundane and magickal nature being created. And whilst the music is usually linear and could be defined as a soundscape, it is also not necessarily always dark ambient in style, embracing electro-acoustic and experimental techniques. Works designed specifically for magickal use sit alongside explorations of sound for sound's sake; and in a third tier, some exploration of sound contain magickal themes, even if there is no practical magickal application intended. Consisting of two long tracks and clocking at about fifty minutes, "Helchemy" is Gydja's latest full-lenght work at the time of writing. The album title is a portmanteau combining the name of Hela, Germanic goddess of the dead, and the art of alchemy. As such, it considers the way in which imagery associated with alchemy can be related to Hela, particularly the motif of a venomous black toad that is found in many alchemical tracts. As an album concept, "Helchemy" is something that the author has explored for several years, creating a version of the release based on cassette experiments in the late nineties. Nothing of this version appears in the current incarnation, but the themes which first initiated the idea are there. "Helchemy" comes in a beautiful and inspired artwork created by Gydja herself.

| HAERETICI 7o74 | HAERETICI, SCHISMATICI, EXCOMMUNICATI | (Some Place Else) CD-R |

Hæretici 7o74 is a duo of Ovro and Niko Skorpio. Joining forces, the artists bring together the more meditative and ritualistic elements of their solo works, blending it to something completely new. Recognizable, but distinct. Hæretici 7o74 concentrates on live performances, enjoying the organic and interactive feel of playing live, with its often surprising turns and twists.
Haeretici, Schismatici, Excommunicati is the band's first release, and contains the 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 vibes. This is musical heresy, where the alchemical potential of not playing by the rules or 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. [Some Place Else] PRICE: 6 € |

| HALO MANASH | AM KHA ASTRIE | [Aural Hypnox] CD |
![]() |
As the apex of Spring heralds awakenings, Halo Manash emerges from Winter and hibernation ~ Treefaced. Horns spiral skyward and antlers ascend. A tripartite trunk arises – a pillar that splits all worlds.
Am Kha Astrie, a work of heliotropic, elemental ambient, is an opening, an awakening, a summoning, a crossing of thresholds. After their previous oneiric and minimal album, Am Kha Astrie sees Halo Manash re-integrate a more diverse instrumentation and a multiplicity of soundsources to create their work, which consists of seven interrelated tracks. Am Kha Astrie is a complete work in itself, but can also be viewed as the second facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation. Archaic elemental drums, bones and spiraling animal horns merge with various metal percussions, chimes, wind-instruments, voices and a multitude of other instruments to create a deep, earthly and yet celestially-bound opus. Am Kha Astrie is a massive and sometimes ominous work, a primal experience of coming-into-being, with all the terror, ecstasy and divine awe that it implies. Comes in a hand finished cardboard booklet, in an edition of 1000 copies. 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 € |

"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).

Taiwaskivi, a work of sonic flame and aural ash, consists of seven interrelated tracks, utilizing such diverse instrumentation as organ, horns, vocals, drums, gongs, percussions and various string instruments as well as field-recordings captured during the pilgrimage that the creation of the work embodies. An air of finality abounds, as Taiwaskivi, although a complete work in itself, can also be viewed as the third and final facet of a tripartite series of works that are part of one holistic creation – a treelogy, with seed, root, trunk and finally, branches. Being the culmination of an ascending journey through the aforementioned realms within and without, Taiwaskivi is the celestial crown at the peak, reaching toward Sol, source and beyond; it is the leaves and fruit of the branches and their skybound nectar ever-flowing - the sacred fire, the consummation and conjunction of All.

| HATI | 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."

| HATI vs Z'EV | #1 | (Ars Benevola Mater) CD |
![]() |
A sensational collaboration between HATI & Z'EV, the unique Rythmajick’s master.
Here the sound-qabalhist melt some raw audio-materials provided by HATI in order to condense 50 minutes approx. of AL-chemical sounds.
HATI are a great Polish duo playing 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. This album is well-recommended to true experimental magick-percussive industrial music-lovers! [label info]

| 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. Single pressing of 600 copies.

| HEBOSAGIL | COLOSSAL | (Kaos Kontrol) CD |
![]() |
Colossal is the word that is bludgeoned into your mind when Hebosagil's debut album forces itself out of your speakers and 43 minutes later you know you have experienced something colossal. This five-piece from Northern Finland boldly mold their colossus from diverse influences and elements, their approach ranging from slow, crushing doom to violent hardcore bursts and riff-heavy sludge, all forced through unhealthy doses of distortion and performed with fiercely rocking energy. "Colossal" includes 7 tracks perfectly showcasing Hebosagil's varied and uncompromising style, but most importantly everything has been tied together with excellent sense of songwriting and dynamics, complemented by the crushing production.
Will cause vibrations to fans of Electric Wizard, Sourvein, Godflesh, Autopsy, Eyehategod, Entombed and Motörhead. Limited edition of 1000 copies. PRICE: 12 € |

| HEDORAH | S/T | (Crucial Bliss) CD-R |
![]() |
Taking it's name from the aerial pollution god that faced off against Godzilla in the Japanese psychedelic kaiju classic Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971), Hedorah is fully documented on this sort-run disc that combines the track "From Beyond" from the split cassette with The Fortieth Day, "Planet Of Doom" from the Dr. Who Vs The Noise compilation, and five unreleased tracks. Hedorah proves to be a multi-tentacled beast: "Crystal Smoke" evokes a smog-ridden wasteland laced with acid-rock guitar soloing, pummeling industrial bass, and trance inducing beats, and ends up as some kind of grim krautrock jam. "Self Medicated" emits looping dialogue and whirring drones over monstrous throat chanting. "Hyperbolean" combines terrifying screams converted to echo-chamber hiss and overdriven, pummeling metal riffage thrust so far into the red that it sounds like there are flaps
of speaker material smacking up against yer eardrums. The twenty-minute "Black Walls" is the apex of distortion though. That final track starts off as a sheet of obsidian ambience, a shimmering drone streaked by whirring noises, but then the riff appears, a massive three-chord doom dirge looming over the horizon, massively distorted and plodding, a hateful obelisk of fuzz lumbering through the increasingly violent blasts of feedback and distorted vocal noise that's shot across the soundfield. Ominous synth melodies and dank cave ambience appear later on, but become devoured by vicious feedback lashings a la Prurient and the return of that bottomless crushing doom dirge. Heavy is an understatement.
Packaged in our signature 3-panel Crucial Bliss glossy sleeve, which has been designed by Lord Keeler himself. The disc is attached to the inside of the jacket on a plastic hub, and there is also a small insert card included in the package. Released in an edition of 250 copies. PRICE: 8 € |

| 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. [Label info] 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. The Great Attractor consists of beautiful pieces at all times, yet the sum is even more gorgeous. It is also far better and more impressive than the previous work of this artist (the rather boring "Cave songs" ep, 2006). I hope this won't be left as just a rare delicacy for a very small audience. An excellent album. [Jiituomas, Kuolleen Musiikin Yhdistys] PRICE: 7 € |

| HERBST9 | THE GODS ARE SMALL BIRDS, BUT I AM THE FALCON | (Loki) CD |
![]() |
The all new album of Herbst9 is a step further into the depths of the Assyrian and Asian mythologies, using authentic audio and visual fragments of sacrifices, lamentations, prayers and ancient rituals. The result is a deep labyrinth of sounds with meditative percussions, ghostly vocal fragments and singings which melts with detailed and multi-layered tones of various traditional instruments. All this is constructed around a core of dark and ongoing floating drones creating an atmosphere of true archaic music which has been developed by Herbst9 to perfection. This soundtrack is the secrecy from the deep and hidden places of the sacred earth transcending us beyond the real world to the inner realm of ourselves.
The CD is presented in 6-panel digipack. PRICE: 12 € |

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. [Cold Spring]

| 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! Their last album was published in 1998 and was voted 'Album of the month' by many magazines and distributors around Europe and the USA.
The new release takes us on an even darker, more thrilling journey as it delves into the psyche, fears and dreams of children.
What mysteries are held captive within the minds of children? What twisted demons torment their innocent moments of rest and solitude?
A dream of childlike simplicity in its story and plot yet immensely intricate in its emotion, depth and physical make up.
A simple shadow can turn so many a brave young heart into tearful bewildered souls. Cold, shaking and confused.
Lost and frightened. Afraid to sleep, afraid to dream. The innocent playtime and fantasy of children can distort and become fearfull and true in the years of growth and self discovery.
Children play 'War''. Pretending to shoot and kill, to be heroes and to destroy all evil around them. In their fantasies they cannot be harmed,
they are the rulers, they are 'immortal', but dreams can become reality. What begins as simplistic innocence in the eyes of a child,
can affect and destroy, when life and circumstance makes its vicious and random twists and turns of fate and destiny.This is the planned journey
for Hieronymus Bosch. 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. [Fluttering Dragon]

| HUM | FLESH OF THE SOUL | (QUAG twenty two) CD |
![]() |
"Finally, after the numerous CDRs and one 7” on Drone Records, this is the first factory-pressed CD of this brilliant drone-ambient project. “Flesh Of The Soul”, which is definitely one of the best works Dmitry Chistov has ever done, is a real masterpiece of cold transcendental soundscapes. The album is filled with majestic melancholy, it is clear and soothing, there’s a plenty of veiled melodies and celestial harmonies hidden inside its simple sound structures. It sounds a bit nostalgic cause Dmitry uses only old-fashioned tape-technique and analogue synth loops, utilizing digital devices just for the final mastering, but the atmosphere is very special, reminding of early Zoviet France, Maeror Tri, Tesendalo or Aidan Baker. It could seem very peaceful and calm, but beyond this bright and peaceful surface the sorrow and darkness is hidden. The beauty of this music is enchanting and it is hard to resist its magical spells, so it might be difficult to fight the desire to play this album over and over in yearning to experience again the tender touch of this unearthly Flesh Of The Soul. The album is limited to 300 copies and comes in special package printed silver on black. Very recommended!" [press release / Indiestate]

Spanning a running time of over an hour, styles range from rhythmic orchestral industrial to bleak passages of black noise with a good dosage of throbbing feedback and scathing vocals.

| HYPNOZ | BREATH OF EARTH | (Zhelezobeton) CD |
![]() |
Hypnoz is a project of Dmitry Zubov, a musician from Moscow suburb Fryazino, the town that endowed the lovers of post-industrial music with such names as Hum and Staruha Mha. His first composition was recorded in 1993, and during its existence Hypnoz has released one CD on the Moscow label Insofar Vapour Bulk, which gathered tracks from different periods, a couple of very limited CD-Rs, and participated on the compilation "Iznutri" by the Ewers Tonkunst label with a fragment of a composition from this album. Aside from Hypnoz Dmitry plays in several other projects: Zuboff Sex Shop (post-punk / new-wave), Circle Of Iron Tape (harsh noise), BRZB (electronics, with Alexey Borisov), etc.
The basis of most of the tracks for "Breath of Earth" was recorded by Dmitry together with Evgeny Voronovsky (Cisfinitum) during their joint night psychedelic sessions, and this is evidently felt in their mood. Stylistically this can be called tranquil electronic ambient with a remarkable experimental touch – but who thinks about it while recording? Slowly twisting sound helixes, drawing inside the astral subspaces, pulsating rhythms, cosmic sounds of old analogue synthesizers, – all this produces an appropriate effect on the listener's mind, and there's nothing more to demand from music.

| 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! [RAIG]

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. [Art Konkret]

With The Crackling Of The Anonymous, Inade move beyond all preconceived notions of sonic creativity., The plethora of puzzle pieces that interconnect in the expanding universe that Inade unwaveringly explores have grown amorphous, no longer defined by distinct outlines, melding as one whole, obscure entity. The expansion comes in many levels, incorporating the vast parameters of time, dimension and reality as viable participants in Inade's aural objective: to shine a light on the enigmatic unknown and give it a vague silhouette. The dark and hallucinatory masterwork that is The Crackling Of The Anonymous, is constructed via the never heard utterances of the void, while tapping into the psyche of the impossible. A stunning release that defies all logic because it creates its own. Gatefold digipack.

| INADE | THE INCARNATION OF THE SOLAR ARCHITECTS | (Loki) CD |
![]() |
There is a world that shadows our world, a world of mysterious design and unspoken secrets, of space that breathes and infinite echoes that never cease to cry. Mirrors that refract images into dark pools of cosmic nothingness. Inade explore these worlds on their latest masterpiece, The Incarnation of the Solar Architects, in which sound is utilized in a transformative manner, not only to focus on that which lies beyond and that which has never been seen, but to embrace the Darkness and let it wash over one’s soul. The mythology that Inade has created touches that place beyond forever, yet now, through the insistence of that which lurks in the margins, a metamorphosis has transpired, in which the cosmos of self has awakened. If one believes that God is everywhere, so is the Darkness that came before Him. A Darkness thriving with anonymous ideals
(the possibilities are endless …) and devious intentions, resplendent with mystical creatures that shamble through antediluvian kingdoms constructed from polished metal, luxurious crystals, and unlimited dreams … though one would need new eyes to see them, and new ears to hear them. Inade provide the soundtrack--the frisson of unease is abundant, a churning, seething dread that veers into awe. It’s up to the individual listener to listen intently, behind shuttered eyelids … to see and experience the true labyrinthine hierarchy of black splendor that awaits. The new album will be released as CD in 6 panel digipack.

| IRMOLOGION | DYNATOS | (RAIG) CD |
![]() |
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.
This haunting work should be percept as a sermon on what a person is able to do but chooses not to do, on what is possible for humans to do but they don’t want to do, and on what is impossible for them to do even if they want to choose it. The anonymous masters choose to preach in the language of electro-acoustic music instead of the language of words which mean nothing in the tempted world. The album comes in a special packaging designed by ZonderZond: cd wrapped up in a gorgeous silk piece of cloth, held together inside a laced hard book folder (Ltd x350). 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. Hand-made cardboard packaging designed by ZonderZond further advances IRMOLOGION sound and vision (limited to 350 copies!). PRICE: 12 € |

| 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 self-released 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 | (Elektron Records) 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. Elektrofonen, which is mobile, has toured Sweden and could be seen, among other places, at Stockholm Water Festival in 1999. The 8-channel version has been performed at ACMC in Wellington, New Zealand and at the Rien - Voir Festival in Canada in 1999. 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 electro-acoustic psychedelic masterpieces becomes apparent from the very album beginning. Enjoy! [RAIG] PRICE: 10 € |

| 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. [Cold Spring]
