Ephemeral Dawn
*2023 stock* A morbid industrial classic haunts new buildings in the bleak form of “Ephemeral Dawn” by Anenzephalia. We take a look at this slow and tense mid-90s document that gives the same necrotic chills today as it did then. Here the dream dies!
Stanford
Debut collaboration between Puppy38 (Hiroshimabend) and Alan Rider (Adventures in Reality, Stress, Dance Naked, Attrition, etc.) co-released by Opiumdenpluto and Adventures in Reality besides Fourth Dimension Records. This album brings together incredible electronic works designed to recreate the sound experience of the notorious Stanford Prison Experiment. About the music, Puppy38 himself says, "A dash of John Carpenter, whispers of early Cabaret Voltaire and a portion of gingerbread stuffed wi…
The Rapist
We take the same ones and we start again. After the re-release of Überschleiss, two years ago, it's the turn of the second album of the violent disco band well known in the French underground microcosm to be re-released under the auspices of the label Replica Nova. On the programme, therefore, the same synthetic filth dripping from your stereo speakers. That said, we're still far from the fantasies of retarded boomers "fans of synthwave because they're fans of John Carpenter". An album that ooze…
Kühe In 1/2 Trauer
“Though this German group started out as a the new wave band P.D., by the time of Kuhe in 1/2 Trauer, their first LP under the P16.D4 name from 1984, they had developed far beyond into extremely experimental music similar to other post-industrial artists working with abstract avant-garde soundscapes. There’s a bleak industrial feel to the gritty, lo-fi electronics and tape loops, while the group throws in enough curve balls to keep it interesting. On some pieces, strange, looped choirs bubble ou…
35 Project
"Active from the late 1980s through to the present day Contrastate have released several critically acclaimed albums. Their early experiments in music were heavily influenced by the industrial and experimental music and art scene of the 70’s and 80’s. Contrastate’s idiosyncratic take on challenging, industrial tinged music has certainly changed and evolved through the years. Their current sound insinuates itself inside the dark ritual ambience of the electronic avant-garde shot through with a ve…
Monument Of Empty Colours + Depression And Ideal
Dirk Serries is an extremely prolific and creative artist who has a huge amount of music composed solo, under his own name or under the name Vidna Obmana. In addition to solo recordings, Dirk often collaborated with other artists, thus introducing a new quality to his own music. While implementing the next installments of our informal series, we also published a few of them; for example "Traces" in collaboration with David Lee Myers, or "The Shape of Solitude" with Serge Devadder. This time we p…
Flying Fish Ambience
*Limited to 100 copies. Comes in in a hand painted, paraffin, sea shell package with the bonus tape single “Saga of Capsizing Dolphins".* The rainforest spiritual enslavement environs conceived by Dominick Fernow and Philippe Hallais complement ‘artificial spaces’ and ‘synthetic nature’ through the decay of ‘digital rain storms’ and ‘falling comet bass drops’ - 'Flying fish ambience' is the duo's first studio album together after a series of tours, and builds the RSE sound into a deep hypnotic s…
Burning The Rural District
*300 copies limited edition* Burning the rural district overcomes 8 tracks of heavy rhythmics, cold sequences and blue flame atmospheres related to experiencing a closed society. This energy is tied and twisted through a widescreen vision manifested in stressful breaks/dnb cut ups, and the maddening dysmorphia of bent sequences and signature fuzzy bass guitar harkening back to nyc post-punk roots.
Recorded over many years entirely in tbilisi, ‘Burning the rural district’ is influenced by the eme…
Verdun 1916
*Limited edition* Verdun, 1916 is full of ghosts. the voices of survivors now departed and the vacuum of the dead. members of GOH are rumored to have relatives who fought in the hills, trenches and bunkers where the longest battle in WWI was campaigned.verdun,1916 expands heavily into the precise combination of martial sound collage and cold mechanical noise fog, supposedly created through archival interviews with veterans, members of GOH travelled to the old battlefields for field recordings, s…

Senno I
The debut album from group A's Tommi Tokyo is an illusory marvel made up of snatched half-heard voices, ritualistic rhythms, digi-fucked power electronics and emetic sci-fi drones. Impossible to classify, incredible to absorb - like Vainio, Stockhausen, Anima, Porter Ricks and Ramleh playing in a small room.
Elle Tombe La Lune
*In process of stocking* Melodic synthesis, industrial precision and ghost stars. Hits to sing in the shower. Songs to listen to in the urban forest.
Human Heart Worm
*60 copies limited edition* "Created in isolated midwinter plague year 2021, my most aggressively revolting sonic landscapes. Pulsing, dysfunctional, deteriorating organs in agonized peristalsis, something wet writhing in a bloody mire, all emotionally mangled and hidden in here." "Thom Elliott is the brains behind Pleasure Dome Tapez from Michigan and is active in shitloads of different projects. Going through his projects and the releases of his Pleasure Dome label, I notice a gap from the ear…

Review from Kata 11, Come Org. 1982:
Suicidal album. Death ia a pleasure after a side of this record - it makes Come's "I'm Jack" seem like "Christmas Oratorio". Let MB be your executioner!
Review by Mauro Alfieri, Rockeri…

Alles Wieder Offen
Working outside normal record business market mechanisms, Einstürzende Neubauten recorded this album over some 200 days in their own studio funded by their world-wide network of subscribing supporters via www.neubauten.org. Possibly informed by the title of 2000's Silence Is Sexy, the word on the international music scene was that Einstürzende Neubauten had become calmer, quieter even. Alles Wieder Offen blows this assumption out of the water; it is an urgent and compelling album in every aspect…
