 COLUMBUS DISCOU		 EL JESUS DE MAGICO - KLIP AUGHT
Let's start with a re-cap of the discography of EL JESUS DE MAGICO. There's the crust punk rental property destroying Scratch Acid-ish x-tendo jams of their first CD, and there's the underground Taiwanese jungle kick boxing circuit bending chants of their last LP. There's the darker side of Flying Nun indie by way of Skin Graft on their Unclean Ghost single and there's the AM radio conspiracy theorist Kennedy family bad vibes occultism of their Funeral Home Sessions EP, and now there's this-their third single and fifth release. This record swings from Spacemen 3 to Jesus and Mary Chain to Dinosaur Jr. to the Puddle to Mayo Thompson without a lot of effort. All of the weirdness is distills into a single that hangs around in the neighborhood of their earlier singles. A tight pop music take on a thousand-million little bits of twenty-five years of underground music, all kind of run through the energy you get from recording and practicing around ghosts, corpses, milk crates full of fan club vinyl and pictures of obscure American Aristocrats in a downtown funeral home in Columbus, OH. Edition of 500 all in unique, hand screen printed sleeves. 		POP/ROCK

 HORIZONTAL ACTI		 GIRLS AT DAWN - NEVER ENOUGH
When HoZac first heard the crudely innocent recordings of Brooklyn's newly formed GIRLS AT DAWN, it was hard to recall which sunk in first, the jangling and angelic pop hooks, or the interwoven and uniquely eerie Rosemary's Baby soundtrack-style backup vocals that accompany them. It really doesnt matter, as their songs have that special something that stick right out and make the hairs on all our collective necks stand straight up. Their debut 7-inch single, hauntingly self-produced, loaded with home recorded goodness, and played by three girls who effortlessly knock out great, simplistic and inescapable songs that swim around in your head and don't let go. Quite like the hypnotic, mythological sirens who lured ancient sea captains into pits of despair, these songs seem just pure enough, until it's too late to turn back and they've hooked you unforgivably.

 SLOVENLY		 KING AUTOMATIC - CLOSING TIME
A beast of a 45 from the king of enigmatic bohemian rock'n'roll, KING AUTOMATIC! Having served time as drummer for French garage legends THUNDERCRACK (Estrus, etc.), King Automatic set off solo style and created his own perfect world of exotic rockin', incorporating samples (of himself no less!) in his unique take on the one-man band genre. This 7 inch record, containing one prime mover, ("Closing Time") and a murder ballad about the Kray twins called "From Commercial Road to Elstree," (part two of a track from his latest full length!) hint at an updated version of the Medway sound popularized by Billy Childish in the 80's, and perfected for the 21st Century.

 HAMMONDBEAT		 NEGRI, PAOLO -& THERESA REEVES- - PAPARAZZI
"Paparazzi" is an old school soul track where the bluesy voice of Teresa finds the perfect dimension while the Hammond sets the rules playing bass and backing line. You may hear the spirit of Auger/Driscoll, but the acid Waldorf solo will rocket you back to the 21st century! "A Blues For Me" by contrast is a slow and mellow Hammond based blues with Negri going deep into improvisation in the greatest tradition. A perfect soundtrack to a late night strip show in a cloudy and smoky club anywhere from New York to Moscow...just use your imagination!

 ROB'S HOUSE		 PREDATOR - HONEST MAN
PREDATOR's roots can be traced back to a much earlier day of Atlanta punk when Douchemaster had just begun assembling its initial roster and Die Slaughterhaus was still run by Black Lips. At this time BRANNON GREENE and MIKE "BISON" BEAVERS were just old enough to buy their own beer but were cranking out brilliant hardcore punk under the name FRANTIC, a band that could have rivaled Carbonas if the circumstances were any different. They would also be a founding part of BEAT BEAT BEAT, but in its demise they would join forces with JOHN NECRO and summon up the same youthful attitudes and dark ingenuity they once nailed in Frantic. Within a few short months this trio has become forerunners in the Atlanta punk scene; and, not only is this three-song EP a testement to that, it's not the only card up their sleeves. Limited to 700 copies on black vinyl. 		GARAGE PUNK/ROCK & ROLL

 GILGONGO		 SISSY SPACEK - FORTUNE
An on going project of prolific artist JOHN WIESE, SISSY SPACEK has taken many forms: intricate collages of the small, quiet, details that trickle through in between "sound", drums spliced and severed, 18-piece "noise" orchestras, performances that included nothing but the act of shattering glass as source sound to ones that result in broken basses and bleeding throats, etc. On "Fortune," Wiese has assembled a trio with CHARLIE MUMMA (drums) and CORYDON RONNAU (vocals): crafting twenty-six songs of grind-core noise (like a Crossed Out playing with malfunctioning gear).

They live in a world of gravestones, monsters, werewolves and haunted houses. Sitting alone in the dark watching vintage Hammer Horror films and waiting for gravedigging jobs is how they spend their days. 		GARAGE PUNK/ROCK & ROLL

 X! RECORDS DETR		 TYVEK - MARY ELLEN CLAIMS
REPRESSED!!! TYVEK's first single is a savage broadside that attacks car culture (Side B) and the mass media's promotion of anti-psychotic drugs for the youth as a cure for demonic possession (Side A). The sound is distorted, all cheap old guitars and busted up drums, and the playing is usually teetering on the edge of ineptitude, at times falling off completely. The tunes and lyrics are straight outta overgrown abandoned lots and decrepit playgrounds, and there are plenty of strange little bones on the cracked sidewalks to puncture your bike's Kevlar tires and brand new tubes. Sonically, Tyvek is inclined to agree with the rough simplicity of groups like Crass and the minimal bashing of early Kleenex or Slits. That's all well and good, but, straight up: it's Midwestern blood that flows through these grooves and Tyvek owes a lot to their retarded regional ancestors: the Pagans, Electric Eels and Rocket From The Tombs, etc. Already a DIY classic.

 STONES THROW		 HAWTHORNE, MAYER - MAYBE SO, MAYBE NO
Mutual friend NOELLE SCAGGS of the REBIRTH introduced MAYER HAWTHORNE to Stones Throw label head PEANUT BUTTER WOLF. Despite being skeptical Wolf decided to give Mayer a listen. "He showed me two songs and I didn't understand what I was listening to," Wolf recalls. "I asked him if they were old songs that he did re-edits of-I couldn't believe they were new songs and that he played all the instruments." The "retro" tag is added to almost any contemporary work that sounds like it was originally recorded between 1966 and 1974, and Hawthorne, among the newest contributors to the genre. On the title cut Hawthorne combines infectious falsetto vocals, fatback drums, and an epic horn section that would make Motown's Berry Gordy grin with excitement. (Think Jackson 5, Joe Bataan, Sylvers, Lamont Dozier, as well as J-Dila) The flip side contains the equally uplifting track, "I Wish It Would Rain" for good measure. On this track Mayer dials it down a few notches with a soulful ballad a la Smokey Robinson, Eddie Kendricks, and The Four Tops. Drawing from '60s soul, Mayer constructs a poignant composition topped with edgy vocals of dissipated love. 		SOUL/R&B/FUNK/AFRO/DISCO

 WEIRD AMPLEXUS		 FAITH & DISEASE WITH JEFF GREINKE - DREAM THE RED CLOUDS (10")
Dream The Red Clouds is a collaboration between ambient artist Jeff Greinke, known for his solo works as well as his Land and Hana projects, and Faith & Disease. I was previously unfamiliar with Faith & Disease, but they are apparently a Goth oriented band who have had releases on the Projekt label. Joining Greinke from F&D are Dara Rosenwasser on vocals and Eric Cooley on guitar and bass. Dream The Red Cloud is available as a 21 minute CD or 7" red vinyl, though the vinyl is limited to 300 copies. The music is characterized by gentle guitars and space ambient backdrops, some of which can get a bit trippy, over which Dara's dreamy folk styled vocals flow. The melodies are simple yet seductive and have a bubbling psychedelic quality that swept me away on its magic cloud. Though this is a brief set, 2 of the 4 tracks are in the 8 minute range so we get to hear the artists take the time needed to develop the music. Very nice. I'd be interested in hearing a full length from this trio. -Jerry Kranitz/Aural Innovations. 		AMBIENT

 FANG BOMB		 BRODERICK, PETER -& MACHINEFABRIEK- - BLANK GREY CANVAS SKY
This beautiful collaboration features two of the most prolific talents from the current experimental scene, both with reputations of leviathan proportions. For this release, Machinefabriek, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Peter Broderick, based in Berlin, Germany (although constantly on the road) set out to push each others limits, and to explore new areas within their own creativity. The resulting album is a delicately crafted one, with Machinefabriek and Broderick virtuosically combining instrumental compositions, drone, and heartfelt soundscapes with song structures and vocals. Or as Peter Broderick himself put it: "We tried a lot of different things on this album, pushing ourselves to explore new areas. And for me the result is the collection of music I feel most proud of so far. 		EXPERIMENTAL

 ANCHOR BRAIN		 CHINESE STARS - HEAVEN ON SPEED DIAL
On THE CHINESE STARS' third full-length release Heaven On Speed Dial, the band delivers their own brand of rock n' roll justice with hands and instruments that were just fished out of a downtown city sewer. The band features CRAIG KURECK and ERIC PAUL formerly of ARAB ON RADAR, a band that took the piss-dosed torch from Six Finger Satellite and further coated the world with their own blend of animalistic pheromones. The pair are joined by PAUL VIEIRA, whose wild and untamed playing on the band's previous records-Listen To Your Left Brain and A Rare Sensation-burrowed The Chinese Stars music into thousands of unwilling brains around the world. V. VON RICCI, the local experimental music pioneer of the Providence band MAHI MAHI, is the newest member of The Chinese Stars and has no trouble adding his own flavor to the madness. Heaven On Speed Dial turns out dance music for white padded cells, themes from porno films yet to be made, lyrical groans from dark checkerboard floors, glow-in-the-dark rhythms and fierce undomesticated guitar thrashings. This record is filthy and raw. 		POP/ROCK

 DRAGNET		 LE SANG SONG - LE SANG SONG
"If you've been following underground music of Seattle, you might have already heard music by CRAIG CHAMBERS before. If you haven't, you will now. Chambers is the creative force behind LE SANG SONG, the name for what originated as a solo recording project for songs that for the most part are quieter than those of his other excellent bands (THE LIGHTS, LOVE TAN). Le Sang Song's basic framework is simple: get a good rhythm going, a rolling bass line or laconic guitar strum, paint the corners with more rhythms and harmonies. The result is the same kind of late night living room vibe that I get from listening to heavies like Syd Barrett or Skip Spence. While Chambers draws from folk styles, he pushes his songwriting and varies Le Sang Song's instrumentation to include violin, thumb piano, and other noise makers. Chambers is also an excellent lyricist, something uncommon these days, when vapidity is standard fare. The lyrics are carried by a keen sense of vocal melody. Recorded in 2007, the album sat neglected. Determined to give Le Sang Song the audience it deserves, I dusted off Dragnet Records and decided to put it out myself. Live performances of Le Sang Song are Chambers accompanied by his lovely wife ADRIA GARCIA on guitar/vocals, MATTHEW FORD (Love Tan, FACTUMS, YVES SON ACE) on drums/percussion, a yours truly, MIN YEE (A FRAMES, AFCGT) on bass/vocals."-Min Yee.

 THRONE		 MONARCH!/GREY DATURAS - DAWN OF THE CATALYST
Two respected underground heavyweights pair up on Dawn Of The Catalyst. Australia's GREY DATURAS have built a solid following over the last few years through constant touring worldwide with artists like Neurosis, Wolf Eyes and Yellow Swans (having also released splits with the latter two). Their combination of Sonic Youth-style guitar-improv freakouts with more detuned doomed ambience and all out noise has attracted fans from all dank corners of underground music. France's female-fronted MONARCH is that country's entry into the slo-mo nihilistic utterly oppressive doom genre where they've distinguished themselves from their peers in both sound and aesthetics. On Dawn Of The Catalyst each band contributes one extended track, both veering to the more experimental, droning, lurching side of their collective personas. A split to be felt more than simply heard, it requires full volume and full bass frequencies for maximum effect. 		METAL/STONER/HARDROCK

Born in 2002, LOS MUSTAN 66 came from MEXICO city, formed by veterans from the garage scene of South America, Teresa Farfisa ex-LAS ULTRASONICAS, a girl only wild garage combo and Carlos P., that played Bass on the legendary band LOS SICOTICOS. They start to play covers of bands like THE SONICS and THE WAILLERS. They invited Sabu (LOS EXPLOSIVOS) to join them on the Vox Phantom guitar and they put here, in this LP 12 of the best tracks that they recorded to this release, the original tracks sunged in Spanish are really the best of this record, like "Infierno" or "Fuzz On" , but covers like "Writing on the Wall" (Five Canadians) or "Lean On Me" (Lord of Altamond) gonna put your head turning for a while. Along with LOS EXPLOSIVOS, LOS MUSTANG 66 are the wildest and heaviest combo in Mexico. They are obviously influenced by 80's/90's bands like Lords of Altamond, Cynics, Fuzztones or The A-Bones or even the CRAMPS, but they also have a personality that emerge here after 5 years of stage perfomances.

 ANIMATE		 NAPALM DEATH - SMEAR CAMPAIGN (PD)
Gatefold. Speed-Thrash-Metal band's 2006 album featuring two bonus tracks: 'When All Is Said And Done' and 'Atheist Runt'. This release not only exhibits every one of their traits but also concentrates on the theme of why we should not just accept religion and moral codes into our lives, which limit our desire to trust in ourselves and is passionately anti-war, pro-animal rights, and outspoken on social issues. In other words, it's Napalm Death doing exactly what we love them to do! 		METAL/STONER/HARDROCK

 SUB POP		 PISSED JEANS - KING OF JEANS
If 2005's "Shallow" was Pissed Jeans coping with moving out of their parents' homes, and 2007's "Hope For Men" was their initial reaction to the mechanical lifestyle of a wage-earner, this record is their formal & uneasy acceptance of adulthood. From simple minds & simple fabrics comes this "King Of Jeans," content to execute it's own brand of brash & heavy punk music. 		GARAGE PUNK/ROCK & ROLL

 PERMANENT		 PURLING HISS - PURLING HISS
"PURLING HISS is one of Philly's Best! Purling Hiss is the side-project of Holy Mountain recording artists, BIRDS OF MAYA, guitarist MIKE POLLIZE. Birds of Maya are a full-on psychedelic rock band from Philly. Apparently, Birds just aren't full-on enough to satisfy Pollize's far-out tendencies. On his debut solo record, Pollize plays bass, drums, and guitar, relentlessly, as if he's playing to save his life. This recording is so intense that the pressing plant told us they'd risk breaking their equipment if they cut the lacquers with the original master. We sent 'em a new master and it sounds great."-Permanent. 		PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE

"Aurora" succeeds musically, dramatically and with its freak-out zone twists and turns of sudden pandemonium evokes an atmosphere so strong as to be nearly tangible. Through the work of Théâtre du Chêne Noir, Gérard Gelas wished to offer to the public stories of spirituality, dreams, tragedy and comedy that men and women carry within themselves while "Aurora" remains the earliest recorded evidence of that vision fulfilled. 		60s/70sPSYCH/PROG/FOLK

 WEIRD AMPLEXUS		 AMON - NONA
Anticipated release after the release of "The Legacy" on Eibon and "Mer" on Blade in 1999-2000. "Nona" takes inspiration from a case of xenoglossy (the ability to speak in an unlearned and unheard foreign language, often associated with past-life recall, states of trance or hypnosis and mediumship) discovered in Great Britain around the early thirties when a woman in state of trance expressed herself in a language which was recognised as ancient Egyptian. This voice from the past was called "Nona" or "The One Without a Name". This release introduces new elements for Amon and could be easily filed both under dark ambient and avantgarde.

 LEMON		 APRIL WINE - LIVE IN LONDON
April Wine formed in late 1969 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "Fast Train," their first hit, appeared in 1971, the same year as the self-titled debut album. The next year brought the band's first Canadian number one single, You Could Have Been a Lady, from the On Record album. In 1976, The Whole World's Goin' Crazy became the first Canadian album to go platinum and their resulting tour was the first to gross one million dollars. After 1978's First Glance and 1979's Harder...Faster, Just Between You and Me became April Wine's biggest U.S. hit. The single (one of three Top 40 American singles by the band) propelled 1981's Nature of the Beast album to platinum-record status. 1984's Animal Grace was their last album, but in the early 1990s all the original members joined for a Canadian tour, which convinced them to resume recording, they are still recording and touring the world to their ever-loyal fan-base. This CD features the full show the band played at Londons Hammersmith Odeon during their 1981 tour of the UK and includes live version of their two UK hit singles I Like To Rock and Just Between You And Me. Classic archive material of Canada's most popular rock band April Wine! 		70s-90s HARDROCK & METAL

This is the long awaited reissue of one of the best Aube's work originally titled AQUA SYNDROME, published about 10 years ago by MANIFOLD records. The new reissue included the original album with a bonus track and a bonus live CD. LE SYNDROME AQUATIQUE is an impressive job of deconstruction and resetting of sonorous material to work of Aube, this particularly extended in the duration, treaty and expanded time, much to be proposed in a rich edition in double CD. Through sophisticated and very tested technical of sonorous rework assembled in years of untiring activity in a searching experience, Aube puts molding on and models fragments of concrete sounds of "aquatic" derivation transforming them in unknown drones, noises, pads, loops rhythms -mechanics, constructing a fantastic sonorous tapestry of valuable invoice and incredible impact, and unavoidably bringing back to the memory the first three CD constructed with single water sounds of the monumental one box of 12 CD " proudly published from Amplexus more than 10 years ago. One new unforgettable work for all those who love, and has loved, the avant-guard-istic sonorous experimentations of large the great Japanese master. 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

A long and almost "solemn" track built with reverberated piano notes, a slow and rhythmical flow leaned on a background made of clashing hisses and vague, distant, rustling ambient noises. A brief interval based on obscure drones moving in circles, inexorably entangled on themselves. Therefore another long piano-based track, this time more dilated, confused, ethereal and prim, so much that it takes the distinguishing features of an indecipherable sonic mass, abstract and booming, estranging, deep and psychedelic. A few and minimal elments, "directed" in a masterly fahion and assembled in an absolutely fundamental work, from the brightest mind of Italian experimental scene and of all the music "without compromises" of the last thirty years. One of the last contributes to the History of Music from an artists that, even in a phase of extraordinarily and unstoppable creative mood, has recently choose and officially announced to quit his long artistic activity. Simply essential. 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

Expanded paces, rarefied and"apparently quiet" atmospheres, but at the same time always full of a constant sense of gravity and heaviness, of vulnerability, always on the extreme border of the abyss that leads towards the unknown, the dark, the not to be defined and the mystery...

Here at last is a deserved and "rightful" CD re-release of this fantastic collaboration created in 2007 by Maurizio Bianchi and Craig Hilton. Until now this recording was only made available in a very limited CD-R edition. Extremely dark atmospheres, restless and dramatic. Sharp masses of metallic noises cleave pulsating substrates of low frequencies, mixed with magmatic agglomerates of more processed sounds of an unrecognizable nature. Moments of stasis and apparent quietness. Handfuls of minutes of an unutterable, hanging and distressing tension. Sudden showers of vibrant frequencies that emerge from nowhere and bury everything under an heavy and devastating sonic mantle. A real masterpiece of incredibly dark and subterranean music.

Sweeping vistas of intense static energy, storm-fronts moving across the stereo field, an acoustic tidal wave approaching landfall, breathtaking deep and dark voyages through underground abysses... a massive and monumental work.

For this release, Machinefabriek, based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Peter Broderick, based in Berlin, Germany (although constantly on the road) set out to push each others limits, and to explore new areas within their own creativity. The resulting album is a delicately crafted one, with Machinefabriek and Broderick virtuosically combining instrumental compositions, drone, and heartfelt soundscapes with song structures and vocals. Or as Peter Broderick himself put it: "We tried a lot of different things on this album, pushing ourselves to explore new areas.

 AUTUMN		 DAVIS, GREG - PRIMES
"These pieces grew out of my research and interest in just intonation and prime numbers. During my explorations, I came across some interesting prime number sets and wondered what they would sound like. I constructed these pieces using sine wave generators in max/msp. I chose a base frequency (fundamental) for each piece and multiplied that number by each of the prime numbers in a given set to determine the harmonics / partials / overtones. I related the panning and metronome speed of each overtone to its frequency. rhythmically, each sine tone / frequency followed its own 3 beat cycle which created overlapping prime number rhythmic patterns. These pieces are dedicated to James Tenney (1934-2006). They are an acknowledgment of his extraordinary work with alternate tuning systems and just intonation." -Greg Davis.

 AQUA		 ENTEN HITTI - GIANT CLOWS OF THE SOLAR WORLD
A rare sort of ambient work, 'Giant Clowns Of The Solar World' sounds more like an orchestra of voices, instruments and song. Crave a new Mandible Chatter, IAM Umbrella or Voice Of Eye disc? Well, here's a great experience that will grab your imagination. You can almost see people dancing odd steps in some oak grove for a crowd. But there are the drifting, cloudy moments too. The ambient drones ornamented with the sparse instrument: guitar, violin, female voice like an angel, a piano ghost. Very orchestral, inspiring, an orchard of sound... And for you artwork freaks, this one's really nice. It is a six panel, large-sized fold-out display book on heavy artpaper, full-color printing of surreal images and landscapes. Lots of text but most of it in Italian. -Manifold Records. 		AMBIENT

 ARYA		 FLETCHER, TODD - STAR
Electronic drones unvaryingly generate a pleasant environment of passive sound, exploring minimalism tempered with Fletcher's innate creativity. Extremely tranquil percussion does little to disturb the sonic veil, even enhancing the serenity with its languid, muffled beats. The textures of delicate tonalities are almost ephemeral, expertly filling the void with an delectable resonance that neither rises not plummets, maintaining an unobstructed course through the air, not unlike sunlight bathing the spectacle of an ocean undisturbed by winds or waves. Electronic pulses are elongated to impossible duration, wavering in the embellishment of secondary sweeps that cross the audience's perceptions like washes of tinted light. 		AMBIENT

Second "chapter" in the "Hall of Mirrors" saga, a project that hides the fervid minds of Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh and Andrea Marutti/Amon. On this release they're supported by Andrea Freschi (Subinterior, Konau) and Andrea Ferraris (Ur, Sil Muir), who gave their contribute with additional sound sources. Another long and fascinating journey among the ruins of lost and ancient civilizations, among desolate landscapes forgotten by time. To enrich the already busy electronic stratifications, among slowly evolving ambient sonorities and occasional parts of more sharp and "rough" elements of a Post-Industrial nature, we also find suggestive sound of reverberating flutes and dilated electric guitar parts, ending with delicate melodic arpeggios and evocative rhythmic accents of a vague cinematic taste.

Two hippie-folk albums on one disc! As Jennifer Warnes, she scored US #1 smash hits with 'It's The Right Time Of The Night' in 1977, 'Up Where We Belong' (with Joe Cocker, from An Officer And A Gentleman) in 1982 and 'I've Had The Time Of My Life' (with Bill Medley, from Dirty Dancing) in 1987. However, in a previous life in 1968 - when she was an ambitious hippie folkie known simply as Jennifer - she became a regular on US TV hit The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour where she sang with guests including Donovan, Glen Campbell, Kris Kristofferson, Dion, John Hartford and Mason Williams. The same year she appeared in and launched her solo recording career with the album I Remember Everything which features Jennifer's sun-kissed re-workings of songs by The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bee Gees and Joni Mitchell amongst others. Her 1969 follow up See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me features more of her unique soulful take on songs by The Who, Bob Dylan and from Hair. 		60s/70sPSYCH/PROG/FOLK

 K-RAA-K		 KISS THE ANUS OF A BLACK CAT - AN INTERLUDE TO THE OUTERMOST
"The young Belgian ruler of apocalyptic folk, Stef Heeren, after his much aclaimed debut album of last year, returns with an amazing follow up. An Interlude For The Outermost" combines the dark mantra-ish folk of his first record with sharpened folkrock, intense melodies and heart-ripped spleen. His punkroots are still clearly present in his powerful voice, the themes are still slightly pagan. The difference with "If The Sky Falls, We Shall Catch Larks" is the fact that on the new album we much more hear the product of a band, with profound arrangements and detailed production. "An Interlude For The Outermost" has become the masterpiece we all expected from Kiss The Anus Of A Black Cat. The recordings already started in August 2006, when Heeren, together with guitar player De Maré and drummer David Stubbe (ex-Thee Plague Of Gentlemen) took a room in art center Vooruit (Ghent) to record the basics of the new album. After that, Heeren started to reshape the songs by inviting different musicians to play different parts and by getting everything together on the computer. Thematically not much has changed. He still screams his soul into the mic. and carries all the shit of the world on his shoulders for the time the album lasts. Even though some melodies might prove the contrary, the feel of this album hasn't much to do with the joy of life. This young musician's main worries are both the heritage of 09/11, the banality of the individual and society. This desillusion he tries to put into his lyrics and music. And how... With the rock line-up he has clearly found his thing, and presents us the new album that is definitely one of the highlights of the contemporary darkfolk movement."

 SOMEONE GOOD		 KOSEMURA, AKIRA - POLAROID PIANO
Throughout the later half of the 20th century, Edwin Land's Polaroid film came to dominate photo albums - offering the chance to 'capture the moment' and relive it seconds later, Land's product revolutionised the way people documented the world around them. Yet Polaroid cameras did more than simply recount past moments - the medium itself inserted a soft-focus, dream-like quality that appeared to suggest vague recollection over exacting reality. Following in this tradition, Akira Kosemura's latest pop miniature for Someone Good, Polaroid Piano, shares this hazy filmic impression. It's a snapshot of his increasingly personal and evocative piano and electronics pieces, tinted with field recordings (recorded in various locations including recordings from Brisbane and Hobart by Lawrence English) and offered as a series of small but gloriously rich auditory phrases. Played notes and the mechanism of the piano itself share equal presence in the compositions - Kosemura's physicality evident throughout the album. 		POP/ROCK

 HAMMONDBEAT		 MODUS - SOUNDS FROM THE KITTEN CASINO
Hammondbeat is deep in 60s basement territory here - thumping bass lines, big Hammond organ and the wonderfully distinctive vocals of Miss Modus, producing a tight sound that benefits from serious time live on stage, all of which simulateously nails the sound of the 60s to perfection AND is at home on the dance floors of every decade. Miss Modus is the secret weapon of the show, and she delivers strong and emotive vocals on every track. She soars and flies, glides and croons with a power and purity that is undeniable and equally infectious. Sounds From The Kitten Casino features the bubbly "Go-Go Shake", the jazzy "How Do You Do?", the driving groove of "Soul of The Zodiac", the manic vocal of "Club Soul Magic", the downbeat groove of "Illusion", and Auger-Driscol-like "The Snake". No self-respecting Mod group can escape the golden decade, but Modus have an up-front approach to revealing their influences that mark them out from the general retro-population, making them a perfect addition to the label that brought you The Link Quartet, Captain Hammond, and Phat Fred. Sounds From The Kitten Casino is a fresh, witty take on a musical template many regarded as obsolete, but in the hands of Modus is as new and vital as anything on the scene today.

Oltrelanebbiailmare is proud to introduce the solo debut CD of Edgardo Moia Cellerino, best known as Le Masque's singer. "L'amore che gira il mondo" is a collection of songs taken from various Le Masque albums; it includes Il trionfo del bikini and Elsadora il profumiere taken from "La memoria di Venere" (1991), Marcel, Le donne, Nostalghia, I Tartari, La notte del 31 Dicembre 1999 and La ballerina Marta taken from "Le Masque" (1995), L'amabile assenza and Quando una parola taken from "Gli anni di Globiana" (2003) and an unreleased cover of Jacques Brel's Non andare via played by Italian jazz Maestro Renato Sellani. To complete this collection we also find La lunga notte di Gianni, taken from the compilation "Dal diario di un soffiatore di vetro" (1998), Sai and Amore bello amore stanco both taken from a rare single published for the Greek market only, and above all the new wonderful title track: L'amore che gira il mondo. Edgardo has just got back during November from the prestigious Tenco Festival, a showcase dedicated to the most valid Italian singer-songwriters, where he received the SIAE/Club Tenco Prize as the best emerging author/songwriter with the following mention: "His lyrics are illuminated by all-consuming landscapes. His language is made of an almost embarassing extreme and refined elegance, and reminds the greatest Italian writers of the Twentieth Century, from Pavese to Buzzati. Nonetheless he defines himself just like "a polka-dot illustrator on clowns costumes". At the Tenco Festival he presented some of his songs in concert, including the new album title-track. For all the Le Masque aficionados and for all the lovers of Italian songwriting... This is a must! 		POP/ROCK

An impressive utilization of articulate sonic stratifications, mixings of electroacoustic material and samplings, original sounds, analogue and digital noises, generated by electronic machines, collected through both traditional and in contact microphones recordings.

 SILENTES MINIMA		 NIMH - THE UNKEPT SECRETS
After few months of distance from the escape of "The Missing Tapes" and the relative "Rework" by Aube, Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) sets aside the ethnic-lysergic visions that have characterized the previous album and continues along the distance of sonorous search and fascinating experimentation electronic, already undertaken with works which "The Impossible Days" and "Subterranean Thoughts", ulteriorlyexpanding just the range of sounds and instruments set, revealing the own "secrets" through new, dark but stylistically a unclassifiable CD, in which it arranges with extraordinary originality and in an absolutely personal and unknown elements of drone music, dark ambient, electronics, ritual, ethnic, field recordings, and enriching in particular every track with the recurrent presence of evocative sounds of electric guitar in varied filtered and elaborated way. The search goes on... 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

 SILENTES MINIMA		 NIMH - TRAVEL DIARY
Finally collected on a single CD, and released in a completely re-edited and re-mastered version enriched with new sounds and parts, Silentes present all the music created by Giuseppe Verticchio/Nimh during 2001/2002 using ethnic instruments only, in a total "unconventional" way, with the addiction of treated/processed field recordings. A real challenge beyond every stylistic and "geographical" border; an original and evocative dark-shaded ethnic-electronic-ritual music, born from the "voice" of ancient and often unknown traditional ethnic instruments mostly collected in the Far East, without using synthesizers and any other electronic/synthetic source at all. An absolutely original "Travel Diary, unpredictable and unrepeatable. 		EXPERIMENTAL

 SILENTES MINIMA		 NIMH & MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA - FROM UNHEALTHY PLACES
The energy, the genius and the intransigence of the music of the hystoric "cult" power electronics project Mauthausen Orchestra/Pierpaolo Zoppo, united to the originalty, the eclecticism, the rigorous experimental research carried on since fifteen years by Giuseppe Verticchio, mostly with his "Nimh" solo project. Disturbing images of unhealthy places, nocturnal landscapes covered with fog, psychotic nightmares, tormenting and delirious, described with sonorities of great impact and incredible dramatic force. A dark and long itinerary, to be covered wrapped in the spirals of a time that progressively seems to slow down and stop, folded on itself, just like suspended in the void, without offering any way out. A sonic adventure for brave souls. Elegantly packaged in a digipack. 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

 WEIRD AMPLEXUS		 NIMH & NEFELHEIM - WHISPERS FROM THE ASHES
Ideally inspired by the Inquisition era, like some titles of the tracks may suggest, "Whispers from the Ashes" presents Nimh (Giuseppe Verticchio) and Nefelheim joined together for the production of a dark oriented CD that alternates obscure and haunting atmospheres with more gloomy and sometimes dramatic and highly evocative episodes. Like in a disquieting voyage to a far away past, in a stakes and witches age, featuring persecutions of heretics and superstition. A wonderful trip in vein of Raison D'Etre. 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

 MORT AUX VACHES		 NOVI SAD - MORT AUX VACHES
Comes in 3-panel 'old cut vinyl records' cover ltd. to 500 copies. "From the somewhat forty-five minutes this new discs last, about eight minutes are totally silent. Since putting an excerpt of this in the Vital Weekly podcast, I have to transfer it to my computer and normalized (meaning make it zero DB) and noticed there is also actually music in there. Odd, why should it be so incredibly silent? If you would turn up your volume all the way up in those parts (three minutes at the beginning and five at the end) it would mean ripping your speakers apart in the middle part, when things become so much louder. A Lopezian take on dynamics, perhaps? Since this was recorded for a radio broadcast I am pretty sure these minutes were not broadcasted. Novi Sad from Greece is the youngest 'star' on the scene of microsonic, field recording and laptop artists, with a considerable profile, playing for instance the Gaudemus music week here in The Netherlands (who hardly invite would invite a like minded Dutch artist I'd say) and works for Touch. And quite rightly so: what Novi Sad does, might not be entirely new (but then: who does?), but what he does he does with some excellence. Following his silent intro, there is an outburst of sea wave like noise sound for a while, which forms the absolute counterpoint of the silent intro. The middle part - of the part that actually can be heard - is a sort of organ like drone piece and in the closing part, the organ and the seaside meet up and make a brutal return of cascading sound. Before we leap into silence again, the organ makes the final fade out. Its microsonic in that respect that the changes in this piece are as minimal as they come, whereas the sound has a maximum output - when there is something to be heard of course. In that respect Novi Sad is not microsound at all: the music is loud and abrasive. A really great work, which brings a lot of delight here. Loud, soft, silence, noise, its all there and all brought with elegance and style. Excellent package also." (FdW). 		EXPERIMENTAL

 SILENTES MINIMA		 QUINTO SOL - OLLINTONATIUH
Quinto Sol was the brainchild of Faith & Disease keyboardist, the late Joaquin Tavares (d. 2006). Joaquin and co-founder Alfredo Feregrino sculpted a very brilliant "pre-Hispanic" ritual project that incorporated complex Mayan and Ancient symbolism woven into a percussive, dirge-like soundscapes. Tracks are culled from the studio and a "Day Of The Dead" live performance at the Seattle Art Museum. "Ollintonatiuh" also includes performances from F&D's Dara Rosenwasser, Eric Cooley and Joshua Furman while members of Quinto Sol. Bonus tracks include an alternate mix of the Tavares composition "Wallow" from F&D's CD Fortune His Sleep. 		INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

 WEIRD AMPLEXUS		 RESCH, ANDREAS - REQUIEM
Andreas Resch was one of the two members of legendary Hyperium Records artist Mynox Layh. With 'Requiem', Andrea returns with a genuinely unusual sinister work of morbid atmospheres, an absolutely must have release.Requiem has a strongly obscure ambience, but cannot be compared to any ambient music, and it's surely an album to refer to endlessly with each listen giving something new to gain, disorienting as though wakening from a nightmare. Immense, striding, sumptuous string arrangements create a majestic and inspiring atmosphere. Andreas Resch is working in some potentially interesting areas of sound experimentation and this is a totally worthwhile and highly recommended opera. There are no other words which could possibly describe the endless feeling of the album. Definitely recommended. In vein of In The Nursery and old Laibach. Limited to 500 copies.

 ROOM40		 ROSENFELD, MARINA - PLASTIC MATERIALS
Over the past decade, Marina Rosenfeld's work has come to represent one of the most progressive approaches to experimental sound emanating from New York. Rosenfeld is equally known as a composer for large-scale performances and groundbreaking turntablist. Her sonic palette - entirely drawn from hand-crafted dub plates she imprints with blips of vinyl static, bursts of instrumental noise, conversation, and other audio detritus - evokes both the ecstatic electronic artifice of early electronic composers like Morton Subotnik and the post-punk ferocity of Kim Gordon. On Plastic Materials, Rosenfeld creates a compelling and dense journey through ringing, magical electroacoustic structures that are carefully overlaid with piano, voice and deconstructed language. Her compositions evoke both the radical poetics of modernism and free improv and, with it's delicate underlay of hiss, vinyl static and other aural signifiers of recording, the unlikely preservation of the ephemeral made possible by vinyl. "Cuz' I Cannot Find My Way", "Hey, Girl", and "I Treated Myself" are excerpted from "Teenage Lontano", Rosenfeld's acclaimed "cover version" for teenaged choir, of György Ligeti's 1967 orchestral masterpiece Lontano, premiered by the Whitney Museum in New York in 2008.

 NOW SOUNDS		 WONDERMINTS - KALEIDOSCOPIN': EXPLORING PRISMS...
...Of The Past Sounds". Genre: Psych/Sunshine Pop. Emerging in the early 90s with a series of now-legendary, self-made cassettes, Wondermints quickly developed a reputation for being one of the preeminent bands operating in Los Angeles. Over the next decade, four albums followed, garnering massive acclaim, especially in Japan. In addition to all this, the band recorded many stray tracks, placed on now long-out-of print compilations, soundtracks-including the main title to Austin Powers-and singles. Kaleidoscopin collects on CD - for the first time ever -many early demos, album outtakes, and covers, all sourced from original master tapes. Just one listen to Kaleidoscopin and it immediately becomes apparent why, in 1996, Brian Wilson said, "If I'd had Wondermints in 1967, I'd have taken Smile out on the road." Unbelievable as it may have seemed back in 96, the once-reclusive Beach Boy actually did take Wondermints into the studio and finished his long-gestated epic, Smile. Brian has also utilized Wondermints on the road since 1999, as part of his huge ensemble. 		PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE

 MORT AUX VACHES		 ZEITKRATZER - MORT AUX VACHES-RANDOM DILETTANTES
This CD should be played with random or shuttle function. "Zeitkratzer will soon be the center of innovative music. This project promises to be endlessly fascinating", the Wire magazin wrote three years ago. Three years later, after a lot of different projects, inluding Zeitkratzer's already legendary cooperation with Lou Reed, international critics agree: "Zeitkratzer is the best contemporary music ensemble in the world" (Entrevista Lisboa, DNA Roma). For the Staalplaat-label "Mort Aux Vaches" Zeitkratzer realized a special project: "Random Dilettants" as a tribute to the label-name, every musician only melked the instruments of the other musicians in the group, instruments he does not know to play correctly. What came out, is a collection of 50 really differentiated sounds, to get hooked on. They are arranged as a piece, but can also be played and understood as a home-sound-installation, playing the CD with random or shuffle-funktion. So Zeitkratzer comes here with its best quality: the sound-fetishism. "Zeitkratzer's sound is sensational!" ans the German newspaper "Tageszeitung" wrote, ... and respect to the used media: a CD that will provide the listeners their own sound-installation.

 AMPLEXUS		 NERELL, LOREN - THE VENERABLE DARK CLOUDS
Loren Nerell is known for his fondness for gamelan music. You get the idea of his blending of music elements when you see that his latest CD was recorded over the last few years in Bali, Java, and... Los Angeles. Modern ambient drone music melds with ancient tribal cultures to form something entirely new, sounding ages old. As usual with Amplexus limited edition 3" singles, the packaging is beautiful, featuring a large 3-fold booklet with photography by the label's Stefano Gentile. Being a single, this is 21 minutes of new music. The journey of musical exploration ends far too soon, but it is very, very good while it lasts. The textures are rich, as drones blend with sparse tribal beats and ancient instruments, such as the crystal clear but other-worldly bell tones in "Eclipse". Just reading the credits for the instrumentation used is fascinating, as I couldn't tell you what most of them are. They are fused into a hypnotic mix of soothing sounds, truly transporting you to another place and time. The music is simultaneously dark and yet spiritually uplifting. "Within the Cloud" is appropriately named, as it is light and delicate, though again with a dark quality that keeps this far from new age realms. This track takes surprisingly smooth musical turns, given at least three distinct movements over its less than four-minute run. The disc is clearly intended to be played at one sitting, as it all runs together as a single piece of music. "Ablution" begins with flutes, rain, thunder, and a rooster crowing. The spatial effect is amazing, as the rainfall seems to be coming from deep within the speakers. Then, just when I'm fully drawn in, it's over. More, please. -Phil Derby, Sequences. 		AMBIENT
