-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Crunch Pod continues to expand it's eclectic roster of unique artists,
presenting the debut "Dendrite" from Australia's young "Bubbergum Cyber" artist
Bitch Brigade.

Combining vocals reminiscent of Ladytron and Battery, Bitch Brigade's Agrippa
Cryoflesh varies light, bouncing EBM ("Licky the Carnivorous Pony") suited for
the dancefloor with the percussive and more introspective (the Snog-ish "Tears
Are What We Do Now") having the same success, but never covered with the trite,
jaded residue left behind from so many other artists in the genre.

Jump on board with a true rising star in EBM, and leave all the prefabricated
angst and anger of the less inspired behind...

PHENOTRACT - "shifting" (CD) (PHENOTRACT) ($12.00)

hybrid of new wave, dreampop, synthpop, shoegaze

Heller, Niabi Caldwell, and Anaben from the band By Night With Spear. I am
truly excited for it and hope that people listen to and like it." -Eric
(PHENOTRACT)

10 tracks and about an hour of music here with a more loungey, new wave
electronica feel to it featuring some nice programming by Eric as well.

ANT-ZEN/ HYMEN (GERMANY)
--------------------------
KLANGSTABIL - "vertraut" (CD-EP) (ANT-ZEN) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
this collection includes the original version of klangstabil's most well-known
track, which captured the attention of listeners world-wide right from its
first release on a compilation in 2002. besides that you will find eight
interpretations of 'vertraut' demonstrating the versatility of work that can be
extracted out of the catchy, familiar motif. some of the artists who have
remixed the track have based their interpretation on intelligent dance music:
the breakbeat-framed somatic responses version, a hybrid of breakcore and idm
by u.s. project access to arasaka, keef baker's metric electro background,
which turns into post-rock with dense guitars, and architect's daniel myer
gives us dancefloor-capable pounding beats topped with a plausible new melody
line to complement the original theme. torben wendt (diorama) turns 'vertraut'
into beautiful melodic body music, while synapscape keep the original track
structure but replace the instrumentation and beats, turning the theme into a
heavy electronic floorburner. ksdj is maurizio blanco himself, adding some
newly faceted rhythm patterns and melody lines, making his version a
contemporary dj anthem. l'ombre from canada ends up the remix section with lush
ambient electronica at its finest. the melancholic ambiance of 'zweiter
schritt' and 'ein schritt weiter' not only close this release, but also mark
the end of one of the most important chapters of klangstabil's existence.

in 2002, the album 'kopfmusik' would have been published on ant-zen but only 6
tracks were produced to completion, one of which was 'vertraut'. The project
was eventually renounced for personal reasons and 'vertraut' was the only track
published in its original version. the artwork was already completed by aiga
rasch, an old friend of klangstabil's, famous for her illustrations for the
youth series 'die drei ???' in which, with her very distinct technique, she has
achieved great success. after 'kopfmusik' klangstabil started straight away
with 'taking nothing seriously' (2004) and incorporated some elements of
'kopfmusik' into it. the track 'ein schritt weiter' is an early, incomplete
version of 'away'. other elements of 'kopfmusik' can be heard in 'lauf, lauf!'
and 'beziehungsohr' from the album 'math & emotion' (2008). this release is not
an album, it is the end of the story for 'kopfmusik' and its history, which
accompanied klangstabil for 10 years. finally, they close that book and put it
on the shelf. detailed information on 'vertraut' and 'kopfmusik' will be found
in the enclosed cd booklet.

SQUAREMETER (M2) - "heliogabal" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
from ancient history and forward into modern posterity, the name of heliogabal
a.k.a. elagabal has become the symbol of the roman iron age's vice and
decadence as well as for how oriental influences were fatal to this culture. a
massive conflict between conservative romans and those who followed the syrian
religious traditions (themselves personified by the juvenile but extremely vain
emperor himself) overshadowed heliogabal's reign. his rule disastrously failed
due to the absence of a give-and-take philosophy and a lack of an understanding
of the duties involved with wielding the power or a roman emperor. after the
greek mythology of his last album 'nyx', mathis mootz took heliogabal's life as
an inspiration for this release which marks the tenth anniversary of
squaremeter.

mootz' skills of creating unbearable tension and covering all bases between
absolute silence up to vibrating choirs and distant industrial outbursts are
clear on this album. 'heliogabal' is an intermixture of hypnotic deep drones,
haunting basses and disturbing soundscapes. cinematic field recordings,
intermittent hypnotic sequencer loops and urgent eruptions of sound merge into
an incredible collection of atmospheric dark ambient tracks. this album might
be useful as an imaginary trip into a sable, a cruel past where man had the
potential of being a god - before finally being disgraced.

adjust the headphones - references are legion, sunn O))), lustmord, clock dva..

MIKA GOEDRIJK - "looking-glass world" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
i took a long look in the mirror and decided not to talk about the past or
future, but about the present. they are all intertwined anyway, so making an
artificial distinction between them is a useless act. the post-modernists'
"tricks of the trade", if you will, of intertextuality and author's
intervention (typical of doctorow's style of writing in the book of daniel)
were used in this recording. but i let the mirror image do the "intruding" and
be an "intertextual" factor. afterall i wasn't writing a book like doctorow
did. i did not always agree, but i thought it was time that "it" had its voice,
so i did not waste any time on pointless arguing with myself. instead i
reasserted my disagreement with derrida's "end of the great stories". every
story needs to be told and the listener decides for him/herself whether the
story is great one or not. there are no guidelines or rules in this process -
no matter how hard scholars try to convince you that there are. whether this
recording is "understandable", "recognizable" or "transparent" to the listener
is not my concern. it is what it is: me and my mirror-image - nothing more,
nothing less. enjoy.
mika goedrijk. march 2010

one year after pellicules, mika goedrijk presents the next aural view of his
inner self with looking-glass world. musically, the self conceptional shift
into the world of ambient idm sounds is evident.

well placed patterns enriched with mellow guitar slides (dead air), melancholic
piano lines (at the 11th hour), a distinctive (nearly) aphex-twin synth (white
sand semantics), archaic trumpet calls (lost decade), pounding breakbeats with
pulsing sub bass (rusty swiss army knife, le grand mal), make this release a
fascinating blend of contemporary electronic tones.

looking-glass world is an album of otherworldly ambience entwined with a blend
of acoustic sounds and sheets of sequenced patterns. a highly aesthetic sonic
universe, where moods and mastery melt into warm, repetitive arrangements. have
a look into the looking-glass world.

KIFOTH - "violence corporation" (CD) (VENDETTA) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Violence Corporation', the new album from K.I.F.O.T.H. on Vendetta Music,
presents 10 tracks of complex, multi-layered dark electronics, reminiscent of
the best electro-industrial of the 90s, such as Front Line Assembly, Noise
Unit, X-Marks the Pedwalk, and T.H.D.memorable album and a band that has
definately found their own sound.

DUST IS NOISE - "fractured forms" (CD) (VENDETTA) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It all started out with a few synth-lines and a few stories to tell. It wasnt
supposed to be fancy but hang somewhere on a rawer level. That was the aim of
the music when DUST IS NOISE was formed by Jacob, Mike J and Mike T.
Collectively the three members work as the electronic outfit ALTER DER RUINE,
an act known for dirty, funky electro. In their downtime they found themselves
writing melodic synthpop and while they enjoyed it they knew it couldnt be
worked into the ADR live sets without causing heads to implode.

Rather than leave the songs on the shelf they chose to add vocals and dress the
tunes up as an entirely different package. With heavy emphasis on a big beat,
grooving synths and incensed vocals DUST IS NOISE jammed along on a mission to
complete a full length album. After playing a slew of live dates they caught
the attention of Vendetta Music and shortly after signed on board to release
their debut album titled Fractured Forms.

ARTOFFACT (CANADA)
----------------------
V/A -KINETIK FESTIVAL VOL.3 (3CD-DIGIPACK) (ARTOFFACT) (16.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artoffact Records presents a 3CD compilation showcasing the superb talent
featured at the 2010 edition of the Kinetik Festival which is set to light the
fuse over Montreal May 12th through 17th this year. Top name artists include
Combichrist, Leaether Strip, Fixmer / McCarthy (Nitzer Ebb), 16 Volt,
Imperative Reaction, Covenant, Unter Null, Hocico, Decoded Feedback,
Synapscape, Melotron, and Faderhead. Alien Vampires appears featuring vocal
contributions from Suicide Commando. Artoffacts own roster is represented by
cuts from Ascii.Disko, Memmaker, and Run Level Zero. Several artists (Caustic,
The Gothsicles, Ivardensphere, Destroid) provide mixes done especially for the
festival. VNV Nation, Combichrist, Soman, Feindflug, Fractured, Ravenous, and
others appear as remixers. Over 50% of the tracks are compilation exclusives or

V01D - "this is not a false alarm anymore" (DCD) (ARTOFFACT) ($22.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After debuting this Fall with a well-received single collaboration with Ayria,
Torontos own v01d is set to launch his debut double-CD on Artoffact Records.
Entitled This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore, v01ds debut is a sonic riddle
without any easy-access key. The album is dense and cerebral, veering into
strange territory for industrial, including off-time drumming, live guitars,
and very well-written lyrics. Not your usual fodder. Of course, v01d shows his
roots on every track, meshing elements of Haujobb, Boards of Canada, Pop Will
Eat Itself, Faith No More, and Underworld into a slick and surprising release.
This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore is yet another quality release to come out on
the Artoffact label and firmly places v01d as a new and innovative artist to
watch!

tapped to do remixes for The Cruxshadows, SITD, Lights of Euphoria, and many
others. Ten years after the first release, Absurd Minds has not lost any of
their energy or independence. Serve or Suffer surprises and will go down as
classic industrial for the 21st century.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN(GERMANY)
-------------------------
ASCHE - "the easter island phenomenon" (CD)(IMPORT)(ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the easter island phenomenon can be compared to the symptom of a disease that
has existed since the beginning of mankind. as an artist that is not isolated
from contemporary world history, ache has titled his third ant-zen full length
album this phenomenon. anger, fear and anxiety are brilliantly converted into
11 powerful compositions that range from pounding rhythm industrial anthems to
menacing dark ambient soundscapes - a threatening journey between distorted
disco and noise brutality. besides the album tracks, 7 like minded artists
re-construct ashes' message via exciting remixes (which have been added onto
the cd in mp3 format). all of the remix artists, except for dj intoner, have
already been released on asche's own label (fich-art). this is a fantastic and
long awaited album for open minded listeners.

"the easter island story is a story for our times. we too are on an island
floating on an endless sea. there are differences, of course. it could be said
that easter island is tiny and that it was only a matter of time before the
resources in such a closed system were used up. but there are parallels between
the islanders' attitude towards their environment and our own, and this is the
most frightening part of the story. .."
(excerpt from 'the story of easter island')

GINORMOUS - "the sound of love impermanent" (CD)(IMPORT) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"a few years before the making of this album, lisa wahlander introduced me to
the choreography of maria gillespie and her company, oni dance. i immediately
connected with maria's work, and was especially drawn to her music selections.
i asked lisa to give maria my first two albums as well as a deru album from my
good friend ben wynn. some months later in the summer of 2006, maria
incorporated my track "to reveal interiors" and deru's "only the circle" into
her beautiful, haunting piece "la hora de salir." it was the first time that
either ben or i had seen dance choreographed to our music. since i listen to
and create my music largely in solitude, i never realized that the experience
of having my work filtered through other artists' minds and bodies was
something i so craved.

by the fall, the transition to a new studio coupled with a hectic professional
life had slowed progress on my third album, "at night, under artificial light."
around this time, maria invited lisa and me to a dance performance at the ford
amphitheater in hollywood. before the show maria mentioned she was working on a
new piece and asked if i would write the entire score. she was accustomed to
creating choreography first and adding music late in the process, but with this
new work she wanted to start with the music and use that as inspiration for the
choreography. i said yes on the spot.

i started working on a sketch the next day, even before i had the benefit of
maria's direction. just from seeing her work and hearing the music she selected
in the past, i felt like i had enough to go on. i played the sketch to maria
and she said, "that's it. that is the main theme of the piece." that sketch
became the title track on this album. i put my "artificial light" project on
the backburner and started churning out more sketches for maria, with her
direction and input.

unlike the sluggish work of finishing my album, the dance score poured out
rapidly. creating music for someone else's purposes seemed to be all i needed
to gain momentum again. not only did it satisfy a longstanding desire of mine
to make more spacious and patient music, but it was also a welcome occasion to
incorporate the talents of friends, providing a home for some unfinished,
collaborative sketches, and motivating us to make some new music together.

i produced more music than maria could fit in her dance, so we had to cut
tracks and edit the remaining ones down to fit into a tight half hour. that
process was painful, but i got through it with the knowledge that i would
eventually craft a full-length album from the work produced for the score. the
dance, titled "the splendor of gretel," premiered to a sold out audience at the
ford amphitheater in july 2007. seeing maria's stunning work set to the music i
created for her that night was a deeply moving experience."

- bryan konietzko, december 2009 -

even if you will never have the opportunity to watch the dance score, this
album works perfectly as a mindscape soundtrack. electronic sounds, classical
strings, guitars and gentle vocals are the components for this fascinating work
of art. stylistically, 'the sound of love impermanent' can be described as an
amalgam of ambient and contemporary orchestral music enriched with the addition
of post rock structures. a remarkable release by a well-respected artist - give
it a try!

LOWNESS - "undertow" (CD) (IMPORT) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
lowness is a one man project of seattle's scott sturgis, a musician active
since the mid-nineties with projects like converter, dbs, notime and pain
station. although lowness exists since the end of 2005, sturgis took the time
needed to make the first lowness release 'undertow'.

inspired by artists as disparate as chrome, neu!, pink floyd, harmonia, black
widow, subarachnoid space, psychic ills, amon dl II and indian jewelry, this
album can be described as an ambient industrial psychedelic hybrid. driving
r-box beats, swirling synth dots, mighty, pulsing subbasses and slicing guitar
drones result in dark, hypnotic rhythmic soundscapes with a nightmarish and in
places exotic feel. detailed post-rock instrumentation, subtle electronic
textures and often tribalistic grooves melt into one-of-a-kind compositions
created with strings and keys.

lowness' direction reflects an original take on familiar genre themes, but
pushes way beyond specific genre trappings by tossing aside the cliches and
commonality to focus on the raw emotion involved in creating music. devastating
and chilling at the same time, 'undertow' is an album recommended for intense
listening in the nighttime, just before dawn....

THE PRAYER TREE - "the prayer tree" (CD) (IMPORT) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the prayer tree is an asian tradition consisting of a tree with metal branches
upon which people can put written prayers. it also refers to a small temple in
downtown tokyo, a centenarian tree that has been saved
from destruction and where people regularly come to pray or make offerings. the
idea behind it is the one of quietness in the midst of noise. its the kind of
little spaces that offer you a place to rest, to think, to meditate while
surrounded by the ever so growing agitation of our cities. yet the idea is not
the one of a 'struggle' between noise and silence. it is not quietness versus
noise, but quietness and noise co-existing.

guillaume eluerd and jrme chassagnard have been known in the electronic music
scene for years. chassagnard as a member of ab ovo and as a solo artist. eluerd
records under his own name and with his
musical project nimp. together they have formed the prayer tree, and their
first self titled album is now seeing the light of day.with this project, the
prayer tree typify the gift of silence and recovery in eight songs of sheer
beauty and slight melancholy. redemption is a prevalent theme - through a
journey/physical way (tokyo, silent stones), through technology (ubik), through
experiencing a book (new york) or in a religious sense (all those who just
couldnt make it, the golden hour). most of the songs refer to a moment, a
fragment of time where your life has changed and/or you take the decision to
change it for the better. these are pictures of thoughts, contemplation of
yourself and of your surrounding. as a whole, the album is the musical
equivalent of the enjoyment of these moments while having a taste of true
happiness (at least for a little while).

with this release the prayer tree present an album of quiet, introspection but
also an album of strong and inventive songs. eluerd's poetic lyrics are set to
a brilliant variety of subtle, colourful arrangements while acoustic and
electronic instruments interact perfectly with a mellow voice. one can simply
bathe in the lush sensuality of the instruments and compositions. give it a
listen, you will not regret it.

hear voices and they tell me to be humble..."
atrabilis sunrise's "pillgrimage" is a story about psychedelics, religion and
unconditional surrender; a possible soundtrack to an unnamed road movie
involving more drugs than "fear and loathing in las vegas", more bad trips as
in 'easy rider' and more sportive activities than seen in 'the passion of
christ'.

"i see them becoming larger in numbers and i must follow the leader... maybe
you know him, he says he's your son..."
this songbook counts eleven tracks of some of the best death industrial you
will most likely encounter for some time. eleven 'psalms' written and
orchestrated by the frenchman padre p.c. who created atrabilis sunrise after
the demise of catharsis.
under this pseudonym he released several cdr's and one white vinyl 7" on
formosan rec, the predecessor of raubbau.

"he tells me to find them all..."
"pillgrimage" is an untold tale of the noughties; made of sleepless nights in
the country, weird meetings and brought to you by drugs and other kinds of
banned cults. for better, for worse. "pillgrimage" is the journey towards the
unknown through the combined eyes of the children of god and the children of
the corn.

danceable EBM and features remixes from Interface, Caustic, Roger Jarvis of
HexRx, and Encoder.

ELECTRO SYNTHETIC REBELLION - "distorted memories" (CD)(IMPORT) ($15.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A mix of new tracks and remixes, mostly from his previous album "Post
Industrial" this actually boasts a running time of over an hour with plenty
for EBM lovers to get their teeth into. The remixes, as a rule, stick to the
tried and tested EBM formula with kudos going to the
Arabic mood that graces the 'dead or alive' mix of Cyberthief and
Psyclonicold's interpretation of "Low Life", the original of which opens
proceedings in typical ESR style with strong melodics making an instant
impression. Indeed, the new pieces are sure to please his fans, as is "Twisted
Shadows" which sees the first fruits of his collaboration with one Jerome
Caulier under the name Joint Vision. By staying faithful to the ESR sound it
doesn't see anything radically new going on but its another strong piece while
the untitled ESR 2009 demo is indicative of many more good things yet to come
from Vince. Highlight of the disc, however, is the cover of Public Relation's
"Eighty Eight" which hits the spot right from the off with a bagful of
excellent interlinking melodics in a style that's got 'electro classic'
stamped all over it! Not so much an EP then, more of a mini-album that
provides a constantly enthralling listen, this is one not to be missed but, as
it's limited to only 100 copies!! Get it Now! we only have 20 here @ DSBP!

EMPTY - "surfacing" (CD) (APHOTIC AUDIO)(IMPORT)(13.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Surfacing is the long awaited debut album from Empty which represents a whole

desperation and melodic electronics.

Featuring fourteen immersive tracks moulded from a variety of genres including
Electro-Industrial, Drum & Bass and Glitch, Surfacing offers the listener a
unique auditory experience with a wide range
of vocal styles and varying structural paces.

The sound of Empty is comparable to that of Electro-Industrial bands such as
Front Line Assembly, Dismantled, Mind.In.A.Box, Imperative Reaction or Skinny
Puppy and draws inspiration from bands
outside of the genre such as Pendulum, Tweaker and Depeche Mode.

THE VIVID TWISTED - "terror violence technology" (CD)(SELF RELEASED)(12.00)

other unsigned artists is their musical talent, professionalism, discipline,
and ability to cross the line when it comes to writing innovative music. Always
working on new material, they have made a commitment, to themselves and their
fans, to create one of the most entertaining and interesting rock shows out
there .
14 tracks kick your ass on this debut CD! the band tackles the REAL ISSUES
with todays society, plenty of lyrics for anyone who is NOT a conformist,
submissive can relate to and will shout along with frantically!
A modern sound that will cross fanbases and genres..

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
--------------------------
ARCHITECT -"consume adapt create" (CD) (HYMEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
for years he has made a name for himself in the modern electronic
music scene but the most outstanding of daniel myer's (countless)
projects is Architect. three years after lower lip interface hymen
records presents the long awaited fifth album: consume adapt create.
the difference between the true creative artist and the impersonator is
the way they deal with influences. myer's inspirations range from drum
and bass wizards enduser and current value up to breakcore warlords
venetian snares and otto von schirach - but it is unmistakably
architect you hear in every note of each track. consume adapt create: a
unique blend of atmospheric idm, cinematic samples, powerfully
distorted sequences, ramming electro grooves, razor-sharp breakbeats,
and haunting ambiance. music to move the dancefloor while still
creating enough depth and texture for heavy listening through your
headphones. once again, d.myer demonstrates astounding compositions.
well-placed sounds and complex arrangements of synthetic noise. as
heard on this record: "i see things..." - listen up and see for
yourself!

SOMATIC RESPONSES - "neon" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
john and paul healy a.k.a. somatic responses are aurally focussed
on complex dislocated & broken beats, distorted intelligent
constructions, fascinating sonic structures, force and sweetness
enlaced. their early productions' main focus were on hardcore and
techno, later on they expanded the musical regions up to electro,
dubstep, and even breakcore territories. as a diligent confluence of
these styles, 'neon' is a dark, claiming caleidoscope of
state-of-the-art electronic sound mastery. dubstep beats are combined
with dark ambience and manipulated voice samples. fast, heavy
breakbeats are mixed with distorted synth lines creating an industrial
music flair. drum and bass meets electro sequences. pulsating subbasses
and acherontic synth lines induce a multitude of moods between
aggression, disarray and melancholy... this album show how these icons
of the challenging electronic scene are still able to open their ears
and tap fresh ideas from today's music sensbilities.

BIPOL - "fritter away" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
three years after his first album andreas brinkert (bipol) has
released his second album entitled 'fritter away'. brinkert has once
again demonstrated his skills of creating moods which range from
apprehension and aggression to disarray. musically bipol assimilates
classic dark industrial by creating a multitude of hypnotic repetitive
sequences, dark drones and mechanical noises that are highlighted with
a large variety of complex beats. the twelve tracks include subliminal
bits of sound that drift below the surface so that the listener is
deeply captivated. bipol is supported on three tracks by tim kniep
(synapscape) and andreas schramm (asche) and the album's mental
intensity is that much more enforced. a superior work of present day
industrial music - a sound that forces you to listen - definitely not
music to fritter away the time.

DIAPHANE - "samdhya" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
in 2008, rgis baillet and jrme chassagnard decided to pause
their project ab ovo and to continue with solo projects. while
j.chassagnard's first solo album (f)light was released on hymen
records, r.baillet formed diaphane and began to work on samdhya (which
has now been released on ant-zen). samdhya (sanscritic for 'twilight')
emanates an atmosphere of reassurance and slight melancholy. soothing
soundscapes and complex rhythms form a mixture of ruminant and
impulsive tunes which hypnotize and stimulate at the same time. the
well balanced acoustic and electronic instrumentation, in places
enriched with voice samples, result in an enthralling, cinematic feel.
diaphane's aural cosmos has to be explored like an undiscovered
continent; those who are curious and open minded will certainly be
richly rewarded.

IMPURFEKT - "human" (CD) (IMPURFEKT) ($13.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are taught to view ourselves and our world in black and white. To observe
instead of experience. To follow instead of feel. We no longer live. We simply
exist. Shells of what we could be; our potential dormant beneath the status
quo.

We must cast aside thoughts and beliefs which imprison. Abandon the religion of
perfection; the politics of fear; and the culture of complacency. Remember what
it means to be human. To love and hate. To discover and leave behind. To
succeed and error.

With every effort impurfekt strives to stir the embers of the human heart. To
awaken the fire grown cold within. To ever be a reflection of the human state.

Impurfekt is dark, electronic music. Begun in the winter of 2008; it is a
synthesis of gritty, infectious industrial and a softer, more instrumental
approach. The result is a progressive contrast of moving melodies, distorted
rhythms, complex synth manipulation, and processed vocals.
The musical style of impurfekt is most influenced by industrial artists such as
Velvet Acid Christ, Skinny Puppy and Wumpscut; as well as trip hop artists such
as Massive Attack; and ambient artists such as The Future Sound of London.
impurfekt is also influenced by a long list of film and video game composers.

THE LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE -"self titled" (EP)(THE LUDOVICO TECHNIQUE) ($7.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The name itself stems from the drug-assisted aversion therapy found in the
novel and film "A Clockwork Orange", in which the patient is forced to view
violent imagery while injected with experimental medication in an attempt to
condition the subjects behavior.

The Ludovico Technique as a band takes this concept and transforms it into
music. The lyrical content draws from personal experience and observation - you
will hear nothing which has not been translated from feeling to sound.

It is harsh industrial music highlighting the dark aspects of the human
experience as well as the depths to which the human mind can deteriorate.

5 tracks here which push the boundaries of electro/industrial with a flavor of
its own, and the vocals are amazing! sometimes you think
its 2 or more vocalists collaborating but its not, its MR. BEN V.!!

AUTOCLAV 1.1 - "where once were exit wounds"(CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO) (12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where Once Were Exit Wounds perpetuates the Autoclav1.1 legacy with a stunning
presentation of electronic works that truly captures the heart and soul of this
Tympanik artist favourite.

While still absorbing praise from his critically-acclaimed 2008 release Love No
Longer Lives Here Autoclav1.1s Tony Young reaches even deeper into his
seemingly endless bag of talent to unleash a collection of work that will
surely be hailed as his most promising venture to date.

Where Once Were Exit Wounds is a visceral montage of complex beats, surging
guitars, pulsating synthwork, and undying melodies, that will well exceed even
the most ascertaining tastes, all the while exhibiting a flow of embracing
atmospheres and lovely melodic breeziness that will encompass its listener with
warmth and gentle adrenaline time and time again. Autoclav1.1 fearlessly
interjects a powerful concoction of love, loss, and despair fueled by lathering
electronic rhythms akin to a thoughtful drive accelerating almost
uncontrollably along a distant country road on a warm summer night.

Get ready for the most engaging Autoclav1.1 album to date Where Once Were Exit
Wounds is available on compact disc with stunning artwork by Salt (Ant-Zen /
Hymen) and outstanding audio mastering from Metarc - out now!

the very edge of its own inner space. Dark and cinematic and fascinating to no
end, Oppidan is truly full of life and genuine mystic, opening the imagination
of the listener into epic new dimensions at the hands of a true master of
modern electronic composition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
---------------------------
IMMINENT - "cask strength" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($15.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
cask strength is the term used in whisky making to describe the strength of
whisky (in a cask) during maturation. this strong whisky is not the one that is
usually bottled, as at cask strength the whisky isn't as drinkable. most
bottled whisky is normally diluted with spring water to bring its strength
(alcohol by volume) down to a level that makes it more palatable, usually about
40%. while the majority of whisky bottled by distillers is watered down, some
whiskies are bottled at cask strength, which is about 64% abv.

imminent starvation has been a leading light in the intersection of powerful
industrial music and advanced electronics. incessant technoid rhythms, twisted
electronic noise and cold, sinister atmospheric textures are the key
ingredients in olivier moreau's musical spectrum. after finishing 'nord /
north' in 1999, he destroyed his mixing desk, gave away the pieces as part of
the limited 'nord' release and shortened his moniker to imminent. after the
name change he produced remixes for sonar, iszoloscope, orphx and others,
appeared on compilations, performed live and collaborated with synapscape as
'the incredible three'. furthermore he constantly worked on this new full
length album - which has now been completed.

like any good whisky that has to mature for at least 10 years in a cask, it
took the same time for this release to maturate - and it was worth awaiting the
ripening. indeed the music is comparable to a cask strength whisky's taste:
raw, aggressive, powerful, without any concession or any additive to dilute
it's true nature, but it also includes a lot of complexity that awaits to be
discovered by a true connoisseur. straight beats interwoven with sophisticated
breaks, brilliantly placed samples, intertwining powerful atmospheric synth
textures and forceful distorted sequences (without inhibition) form into the
sophisticated style of industrial music imminent is known and loved for. 64
minutes of music - just like a 64% abv bottled cask strength whisky contains -
taste it and full satisfaction is guaranteed!

100blumen -"down with the system, long live the system!"(CD)(IMPORT)($15.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
100blumen's third album on ant-zen is a very comprehensive and elaborate one
that displays a perfect merging of powerful rhythmic floral industrial and
haunting technoid ambience.

throbbing dance sledge hammers like 'the unrest', 'the anger' and the electro
anarchic power noise anthem 'unbreakable' prove that this artist is one of the
leading present day industrial masters. another facet of 100blumen's mastery
can be experienced on atmospheric tracks like 'tired green' where hypnotic
repetitive patterns and puissant sub-bass create a continuous hypnotic flow.
the album's conclusion, 'klimavernderung' combines m.nickels' punk roots with
hammering e-beats and electroacoustic sound collages - an amazing collaboration
with guitarist c.tiegelkamp and marching dynamics' shane talada.

this is another step of the one man army 100blumen's plan to destroy all flower
haters with the burning beats of anarchy... and after that, he will have a
drink. eat the rich or die trying!

DEFRAG -"lament element" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
'lament element' presents a dynamic collision of power electronic styles.
crushing distorted beats, lush melodic soundscapes, and massive sub-basses
collide with idm edits and dubstep grooves. a perfect bridge
between the distorted aggressiveness of drum'n'bass and idm's complexity.
imagine scorns minimalist grooves on speed overdosed with dubstep injections.
riding eclectic curves between styles, jeff dodson
calls into battle an assortment of punishingly heavy tunes, boosting the
tension and emotion to unimaginable dimensions. "the title itself literally
means 'the reason to sing for the dead'. although not a
literal application to anything, i intended it as a question: 'what's the
reason people write passionate music?' that and a name should just sounds
great." (defrag). indeed it does, try it!

in 2000, jeff dodson and matt flego created an industrial/noise experiment
called bitstorm. as the duo started playing out more and more, they eventually
gained the attention of several record labels and decided to make invisible
records their first home. as production on their first full-length album 'self
construct' began, jeff and matt decided from that point forward to pen their
work under the name defragmentation. 'self construct' received critical acclaim
from all over the globe and soon the duo developed a hardcore cult following,
and the fan given name of defrag. in winter of 2004, matt flego departed defrag
to explore other paths, and soon after his departure, jeff found himself at a
crossroad. he could either shut the project down and continue his budding
career in motion graphics, or he could take a chance and keep defrag going.
committed and very stubborn, he decided to do both. in 2004 jeff picked up the
project and moved to los angeles where he continued doing motion graphics and
simultaneously built his own home studio and library or personal audio work. he
left invisible records in the hope of starting fresh.

soon after relocating, jeff decided to expand his motion graphic business
(www.rainfallfilms.com) to also include sound design and music composition
(www.runsilent.org). by using the same signature sound that made defrag unique
and applying it to his commercial work, jeff soon had a line of 'a-list'
companies and corporations begging for his music to be in their projects.
before too long jeffs music was popping up in ad campaigns, video games, and
theaters for such clients as nike, g4 tv, ferrari, jgermeister and philips, as
well as projects like x-men 3 the official game, and the massively successful
legend of zelda film trailer. he was invited to speak at one of the most
successful motion graphics and music festivals in the world, the offf festival
in 2009.
during this time jeff redefined his own music and the music of defrag. finally,
in 2009 jeff decided it was time to get back in the music industry and was
recruited by hymen records, where he releases the first defrag album in five
years.

GENEVIEVE PASQUIER-"le cabaret moi" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
three years after soap bubble factory and virgin pulses, ant-zen is proud to
present genevive pasquier's new album. from the very first note the listener
will be mesmerized by the elegant electronic pulses that are dominated by the
persuasive/icy quality of her vulnerable and adorable voice.

le cabaret moi is genevive pasquier's very own cabaret. a cabaret which
transforms her desires into fourteen songs of diverse styles (without regard to
any arbitrariness). the music's scope ranges from subtle, slow-moving ambience
(changing, nobody's darling), electro noise tunes (bouge!, fusion), beautiful
atmospheric lounge cabaret (mon cabaret), insistent electroid beats (rubberpop)
and finally into a furious rapid interpretation of the normal's warm
leatherette.

at once beautiful and distant, genevive pasquier's delivery speaks to
everyone's feelings of loneliness, anger and pleasure that crop up at some
point in life. a revue of class and noblesse - enter and enjoy your stay!

GJOLL- "sum of transformation" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"all forms of direct action are practiced by nonhuman animals, albeit without
communicative elements. nonhuman animals routinely and deliberately destroy
walls and other structures erected by people; "steal" themselves and other
animals away from human possession and refuse to accede to human authority,
hegemony, or boundaries. birds, insects and other animals often do organize
themselves to fulfill collective purposes by nonhierarchical and non-coercive
means and thus offer models of alternatives to governments." (pattrice jones:
natural anarchism in action)

on their third full length album this icelandic project continues its
ideological struggle against men's arrogance and pretend predominance. wrathful
but never nihilistic, gjlls lyrics appeal to those who still keep an open mind,
a large amount of hope, and the ability to separate right from wrong.

musically, jhann eirksson and sigurur hararson have expanded their previous
album's harsh eruptions into powerful ambient noise hymns that are combined
with a kind of post-krautrock feel. sum of transformations contrasts analogue
guitar strokes with the digital iciness of dark and disturbing soundscapes.

an outstanding release, both calming and intensely enraged at the same time.
not to be taken lightly.

TONAL Y NAGUAL -"la sierra mecanica" (CD) (ANT-ZEN distro) (IMPORT)($13.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La Sierra Mecnica marks a turning point in the creative process of Tonal y
Nagual.Their journey started in a barren,
long forgotten desert but after five years of wandering
they reached the premises of something called Intelligent Pop,
strangely captivating tunes saturated with rare emotional roughness
comparable to acts like Genevive Pasquier and the newer works of Portishead.
Their third album starts with bluesy electronics and the remarkable Anybody,
a wonderful hymn reminding of Interpol.
They keep this level quickly pulling you into their world of hypnotic rhythms
and singularly lamenting harmonies climaxing into desperate beauty in Grave,
especially when the guest vocals of Genevive Pasquier set in;
after that there is a subtle turning point and everything gets rougher,
dirtier, leading to pulsing beats shredding through the outskirts of the cities
banging on the walls of urban ignorance.
This culminates in the brilliant Cog in the machine a definite clubhit to come.
Two remixes from the Telektroponks Die Perlen
and Zero Degree complete this ingenious album.

THE LAW-RAH COLLECTIVE - "solitaire" (CD) (RAUBBU) (IMPORT) ($13.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a picture of the house you once called home, the smell of white roses, lavender
in the garden and a sound too distant to recognise. anything can and everything
will trigger memories. fragments of sound have been manipulated by the
[law-rah] collective to tell a new story, to create a new reality with
everything you find on your way. this can be anything from mental images to
hidden emotions, from unknown smells to forgotten dreams. everything transforms
you into who you are now, in this reality, at this moment. though it's not
likely that every part of who you are is the truth. your memories are your
interpretation of the truth and don't have to be truthfull at all.

as a child you played the game where one person tells a sentence and it follows
a chain of people. what comes out of it is a new sentence, which very probably
has nothing to do with the beginning. on their new album 'solitaire' the
[law-rah] collective is playing exactly that game, albeit differently.

like on the 2008 ant-zen album 'inspiration', the duo martijn pieck and bauke
van der wal upped the ante with the collective's 7th full release. sound wise
they return to the collective's origins: a combination of ambient structures
and deep drones with sudden breaks in the sound spectrum. 'solitaire's
threatening and oppressive mood will leave you in a state and in a place where
you haven't been before. a new reality which is more then the sum of its parts.

ARTOFFACT RECORDS
---------------------
INDIVIDUAL TOTEM - "mumia vera- a collection of rarities & remixes" (DCD)
(ARTOFFACT) ($18.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A long time ago, Individual Totem emerged as one of Germanys most innovative
industrial bands. But even their most hardcore fans are not aware of the first
real Totem release: a cassette-only album called Mumia Vera. Now hopelessly out
of print and all but forgotten, Mumia Vera represents the early stages of
Individual Totem, a unique sound that is years ahead of its time, and the seeds
of what would become one of the top industrial bands of the 90s. This Fall,
Artoffact Records will re-issue a new version of Mumia Vera, completely
remastered and re-tweaked from the original cassettes, and incorporating the
original artwork. What is more, Mumia Vera will be released as a limited
edition double CD, including the entire Flow EP (including the Fortress A
remix, one of the best tracks ever recorded, period). The release will also
feature previously unreleased live material, and the limited edition will come
with two new Individual Totem pins. Released September 29th, 2009, exclusively
from Artoffact Records.

URCEUS EXIT - "compensation for the sound of silence"(DCD) (ARTOFFACT)($18.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call us ambitious. Of all the sophomore releases we have heard through the
years, nothing comes close to what Urceus Exit has conjured on Compensation For
the Sound of Silence. As a pop album, the release is unforgettable. For
synthpop, it is miles ahead of what is on the market today. Lyrically and
musically, frontman Richard Duggan has over-reached and extended the
possibilities of electronic pop beyond anyones wildest expectations.
Compensation for the Sound of Silence is an epic album that will turn heads
with tracks like Drifting and The Worst that Weve Become. The listener is
engaged and without a doubt every song is a sonic gem. In short, the album is
brilliant and needs to be heard. Compensation for the Sound of Silence will be
released as a 2CD limited edition, complete with alternate versions of every
track on disc 2 that give the album a new freshness and a different spin. The
limited edition comes in a beautifully designed ecopak double wallet and will
include two limited edition pins. Released on Artoffact Records.

TYMPANIK AUDIO
----------------
DISHARMONY - "evolution" (CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO) ($13.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Under-rated, yet revered with undying admiration by the already initiated, this
Slovakian duo has (un)quietly scorched the underground Electro-Industrial scene
for many years, releasing several continuously morphing collections of work
amongst the awe of fans and music critics alike. With a plethora of remixing
and album credits to their name, dISHARMONY manage to speak volumes once again
with their signature brand of down-tempo, yet hard-hitting electronica-tinged
dark electro works, paying never mind to any looming trends, but instead
constantly evolving beyond the typical genre clones and earn their right to the
throne amongst a horde of imitators. With graceful progression towards the
beautiful and harsh, dISHARMONY utilizes their unique mesh of dark, technoid
beats and classic Industrial rhythms, matched perfectly with harsh vocals and
addictive melodies, to arrive at a dark and complex new cavern of sonic
stimulation. You may know dISHARMONYs critically-hailed last album Malignant
Shields. You may know their prolific remix collection Cloned: The Other Side Of
Evolution. You may know their recent collaborations with the likes of Flint
Glass, Totakeke, Mnemonic, Stendeck, Fractional, Anhedonia, Zentriert ins
Antlitz, and countless others. But be sure of this: you do not know Evolution
Yet. Released on Tympanik.

NILAIHAH RECORDS
-------------------
INTERFACE -"visions of a modern life" (CD) (NILAIHAH) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
New York's Interface combines elements of darker EBM, trance, and industrial,
all with a melodic, emotional edge. Interface's fourth full-length album
reflects yet another positive turn in its career. 13 songs of mature and
introspective lyrics, lush synth textures, and club-ready beats make for the
next evolution in the band's sound. Already previewed on its own EP,
"Destination" appears at full length here, alongside more standout tracks like
the hard-hitting "Body Flow" and "Modern Life", and slower works like
"Pavilion". Guest musicians on the album include Dawn Mitchell (Missile
Command) on "Voices (Echo)" and Rachel Feder on "Destination". The CD version
of the album is "enhanced", in that when you place it into a CD-ROM drive you
can access the entire album in MP3 format (including two bonus tracks) as well
as a photo gallery. Released on Nilaihah!!

CYCLONE B - "evil" (CD) (ADVOXYA)(IMPORT) ($15.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN
----------------
LINGOUF- "ange et gruikk" (CD) (IMPORT)(ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
lingouf's second album on ant-zen illustrates a further exploration into this
artist's very special aural and visual thinking. to him, music and the
corresponding artwork are allegories of a general emotion - moments of
happiness brought by love, but importantly happiness overlaid with the
knowledge of sadness, melancholy and loss. 'ange' (angel) and 'gruikk'
(lingoufs onomatopoeia for distorted mind / thoughts) can be seen as ensigns
for this symbiotic emotion. which is also represented on the front cover: a
homage to the 1594 french painting, 'portrait of gabrielle d'estres and
duchesse de villars'.

on this release's six tracks, lingouf allows each composition to blossom and
transform. from the megrim of 'le carnaval des animaux' (influenced by the
programme music cycle of the same name composed by camille saint sans in 1886),
the drifty bass pulses/beat shuffles on 'ange et gruikk' and 'garage', the
straight and partly distorted floor burners 'vifoogy' and 'st-geniez' and
lastly the broken beats and rich melodic layers of 'dorpramepasu'. 'ange et
gruikk' abducts the listener into a very unique cosmos of deep spheres, sounds,
emotional atmospheres and hypnotizing sonic playfulness. an audiolicious mlange
of ambient, technoid and industrial music.

AHNST ANDERS - "many ways" (CD) (IMPORT) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
though he started as a dj that focused on electronic sounds, ahnst anders
wanted to present his own creative output to the public. so in 2003 he replaced
record players with musical instruments. he now works as a stage and studio
performer who merges collages of noises, organic sounds and electronic music
into a inimitable blend of dark ambient and experimental music. his debut album
'dialog' was released in 2007 simultaneously with his first concert at
maschinenfest. following this were various remixes, collateral sound work for
art exhibitions/installations and a collaborative album with config.sys. now
ant-zen presents ahnst anders' second full length album.

'many ways' is based on different field recordings of natural sources (fire,
water, wind), found objects (chains, metal breakers) and different daily
environments (street sounds, trains). using the inspirations received from
these recordings anders transformed the raw sound into tracks that range from
ambient to breaks. during the production process he kept his senses and spirit
as receptive as possible, treading many paths to achieve this result. this
open-mindedness to try 'many ways' named the album.

the music on this release combines ambient soundscapes with a huge variety of
rhythmic patterns - from tribal breaks to slow dub-influenced cadences.
ruminant keyboard layers with added field samples generate a mixture of
soothing and unsettling atmospheres. (dark) ambient, musique concrte and
repetitive beats offer a soundtrack for a large number of moods. as anders
elaborates: "music is.. the elixir for impetus, joy, emotion.. every day we are
exposed to disturbing strong sonic waves; why shouldn't we turn these into
something interesting?"

MILLIPEDE- "all my best intentions" (CD) (IMPORT) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
don hill has been creating dark ambient music under the moniker porteur de
l'image since 1998. while he was exploring new music-software, yet unexpected
options of his musical self-conception opened up and
resulted in millipede. this project has taken on a life of it's own - much more
beat-oriented and complex than pdl'i, yet still dark and harsh - a soundtrack
for contemplation, as hill explains. with the support of josh pyle (aphorism)
and the usage of samples granted by pyle, jan carleklev (sanctum) and angel
draganov (polygon ring), millipede's first full-length release sees the light
of day: all my best intentions.

millipede lays down a caleidoscope of beat-driven melancholy, marked by an
acute sense of memorable tunes which will persist long after each track fades.
a panoramic of digital glitch, pounding rhythms and bass lines agglutinated by
melodic ambience. add to this the occasional carefully placed application of
acoustic guitars, fender rhodes piano and electric bass, a unique and
captivating album that crosses
boundaries is the result; not isolated idm, glitch, or dark ambient but a
combination of elements of them all and more.

all my best intentions: an intriguing aural journey into what innovative
electronic music is truly meant to be - an album of hidden depth and
complexity.

END - "the dangerous class" (CD) (IMPORT) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. the dangerous class is the new album by end. five years in the making, it is
17 tracks of audio madness bound together by themes of sex, drugs, and
rebellion. a wild mix of live instrumentation,
programmed electronics, and collaged sample fragments, the dangerous class is
the soundtrack to a world of wayward youth given to deviance, chemical
transcendence and violent transgression.

II. if there was ever a point that the communists and the capitalists could
agree on, it was that the dangerous class - the lumpenproletariat - was of no
use to the future. criminals, petty con-men, social parasites and hooligans,
they deserved only dismissal or imprisonment. an unfortunate remnant of the
past order to be swept away in the forward march of history. but of course, now
- as those two great behemoths of the 20th century have become almost
indistinguishable from each other - we are all, increasingly, become criminals.
you are a criminal when you download music. you are a criminal when you ingest
forbidden substances. you are a criminal when you try to do anything other than
the expressly permitted. and you are a criminal when you protest this very
order. in the new world, we are all lumpenproles.

III. the dangerous class is stitched together from the detritus of a century of
recorded music, rampaging its way through countless sounds and styles - one
moment it is double-time drums accompanying
glitched-out rockabilly, the next swinging jazz scat overtop dirty, blown-out
synths. almost no musical genre is left unexplored - surf, garage rock, speed
metal, big band horn numbers, speak-easy jazz,
techno thumpers, organ dirges, chamber music, bollywood sitar psychedelia,
string ensembles, groovy lounge pieces and more. all of it woven into catchy
pop-tunes where sunshine-voiced singers belt out
infectious melodies while craggy old voices weave a narrative of decadence and
forbidden pleasures.

IV. end is a little band out of new york city. they're a noisy mix of
electronics, garage rock, and old-time swing. they've worked on records with
snog and messer fr frau mller, remixed foetus, kaada, and the
icarus line, and toured all over the globe with the likes of fantomas, melt
banana, and jason forrest. the dangerous class is their newest album and is
available now on hymen records."you are not born dangerous class. you become so
the moment you cease to acknowledge the values and constraints of a world from
which you have broken free: the necessity of wage-labour." --alice becker-ho

SINSECT - "darker days ahead" (CD) (SINSECT) ($10.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sinsect is the industrial & experimental recording project of James Ashley.
Sinsect began as a DJ in some of New York Citys industrial and noise venues in
1997, and naturally evolved into creating his own material.

2003 saw Sinsect moving again to Dallas, TX. This time, he decided to
concentrate on solo material and experimenting with digital recording. These
experiments became [Contained]. Later that year, his work took a more serious
turn and culminated in the dark ambient album Hidden Agenda that winter.

Since 2006, Sinsect has been working more in the powernoise realm. Combining
all of his past experiences and styles, the new album 'Darker Days Ahead" is a
dark, hard hitting blend of industrial, drum & bass, EBM and noise. Though
serious in nature, it is not without a sense of humor.
12 bludgeoning tracks of his new SINSECT material which hangs with anyone in
the power noise worldwide scene.

NINTHWAVE RECORDS
-------------------
EMPIRE STATE HUMAN - "audio gothic" (CD) (NINTHWAVE) ($10.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It can't be easy fusing futuristic electro sounds with old school 80s pop
hooks, but Dublin outfit Empire State Human do it with ease. It may be a bit of
a tightrope walk at times ("No Wires", "Ghosts In America") but the trio make
it look effortless for the most part. Production-wise, Audio Gothic is utterly
flawless. The tracks are crisp, bright and vibrant and are everything you want
from an electro act, but it's the songwriting and ability to flirt with
different genres that makes this particular slab of wax shine.

Quite cannily, singer Aidan Casserly (whose voice is a mix of Boy George and
Dusty Springfield) realises that while some studio trickery may gain nods of
approval from the techy snobs of this world, it's the hooks that'll bring in
the mainstream and Audio Gothic has plenty of them. "Camera" is a nu-pop
masterpiece, aping the likes of Soft Cell but putting a modern spin on
proceedings; "Melancholic Afro" (which features former Kraftwerk wizard
Wolfgang Flur) is a fresh and funky take on cyber punk; and the secret track
after album closer "Sitting Solitude" which features Aidan singing (more or
less) a cappella is a reassuringly brave way to close what is an extremely
classy album.

SMILE.DK - "party heard round the world" (CD) (NINTHWAVE) ($10.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smile.dk is the Bubblegum Dance group of Veronica and Hanna.
Smile.dk, the group that brought you such hits as "Butterfly" and
"Golden Sky" are back with a brand new sound!
SMiLE.dk's 4th album, features "Doki-Doki," "Japanese Boy" and more!
Produced by Viverus Studios.

This is very synthpoppy with more emphasis on the pop, and may
appeal most to fans of the 80's female synthpop/new wave sound.

WE GOT THIS FAR - "bluntforcevolume" (CD) (wegotthisfar) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WE GOT THIS FAR was founded in 2007 by Ollie Marsh and Jason Silva after
meeting in 2006 while performing with the another San Francisco-based group
STORMDRAIN. They eventually found out they vibed with each other musically and

Force Volume. Recorded and produced by the band at Fang Studios in San Mateo,

thrilling menu of powerfull riffs and crunchy synths, at times heavy hitting
and merciless, at times melancholic and thoughful, accompanied by Ollies
distinctive vocals.10 tracks with plenty of character and diversity.

SIGSALY TRANSMISSIONS
------------------------
AUTODAFEH - "re:lectro" (EP-CD) (SIGSALY TRANSMISSIONS) ($8.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
AUTODAFEH is from the South of Sweden and makes hard pumping
EBM/Electronic Music with glorious sing-along lyrics. AUTODAFEH
is clearly influenced by bands like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb, but their
sound is unique and has got a special twist to it, and that makes
AUTODAFEH a very nice contribution to the world of EBM.
AUTODAFEH The story began in late 2007 when 2 old friends Jesper and Mika met
again after several years they started to talk about forming a classical
EBM-band with a new twist. Mika who was already working with Anders in another
music project, asked him if he wanted to join,and he did. The three of them
then formed AUTODAFEH (ADF).
The new EP presents a new chapter in this bands sound, and style
as they sound more original now, and the songs are more polished.

DEAD VOICES ON AIR - "Fast Falls The Eventide/Abrader" (DCD) (LENS RECORDS)
$15.00 (ORDER NOW, OUT ON 9/15/09)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast Falls the Eventide is aural provocateur Mark Spybey's 11th album as Dead
Voices On Air, and across a multi-decade career stirring pots experimental,
existential, and otherwise, his is a sound that summons any number of nocturnal
beasties from the ether. Blink twice, listen carelessly and you'll fail to
discern the minutiae Spybey meticulously works into every one of the 15 pieces
sprawling across the first disc of this 2-CD set's eminent domain. Spybey works
hard at his art so you don't have to: rather, as the listener, the participant,
the absorber, it's more important to ignore categorical tags such as
"industrial", "ambient", "soundscape", et al, and instead gorge deeply on a
wriggling, sometimes confrontational puzzlebox of sounds erupting from a bevy
of mysterious sources.

The title of this collection notwithstanding, Spybey's been having his way with
rhythm and noise for so long that the motifs he's ascribed over the years are
practically commonplace amongst the novice post-industrialist - or, hell, the
post-whatever. Throughout the last 25-plus years, he's plied his trade and
remarkable sonic mojo both solo and in the company of many a forward-thinking
electronic engineer, from guitarists such as Michael Karoli and James Plotkin,
to fellow artisans like Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key or Rapoon's Robin Storey (with
whom he feints sounds as Reformed Faction). It's as Dead Voices On Air,
however, that some of his most startling ideas emerge fully-realized and
fully-armed; of course, to hear Spybey tell it, once art leaves the nest it's
up to (once again) the recipient to assume the role of engager: "My work is
created in isolation from external references. That is the ideal I strive for.
Only in this way is it possible to allow the listener an opportunity to create
their own understanding of the music, or, as the artist Joseph Beuys once said,
'One should resort to interpretation only in an emergency.'"

Perhaps. Still, there's much expressive bounty to be gleaned from these dark,
dusky, evening-soaked works, from the first disc's mix of ethnological drum
cabals, windswept electronics and scraped edits, up through the immense
near-quarter-hour title track, which finds Spybey revisiting the mortal
atmospheric coils of former colleagues :Zoviet*France:. And pulling the whole
enterprise together is the second disc's first-time digital unveiling of
Spybey's opening salvo, the 1994 cassette Abrader, in conjunction with two
unreleased tracks originating from the artist's early gestations featuring
contributions from the aforementioned cEvin Key. New or old, Spybey's
continuing vitality ensures these Dead Voices remain gloriously alive and
kicking.

OBSCURE DESCENSION - "Obscure Descension" (CD) (ATROCITY) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Adam Lane aka OBSCURE DESCENSION, has been working hard on this debut CD

instrumentals as well as some crazy samples and a 11 song album with

the hottest new harsh ebm, stomping industrial power, with original
vocals and very interesting arrangements and synth selections as well.

his most developed work yet.The album will be on repeat once you
get your claws on it, the addiction will set in...

EXOCET - "grotesque consumer" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
for their second album exocet has transformed from two persons into one. Beyond
realizing his own creativity, r. klimaczewski was also responsible for the
translation of dave kean's ideas and inspirations into this project's music -
the result was their first cd in 2008. unfortunately mr. kean passed away last
year before any new tracks were implemented. now, in loving memory, klima is
getting on with exocet as a solo project - a challenge he has masterly
succeeded in.

exocet's sound can be described best as the missing link between present day
noise industrial and intelligent dance music. repetitive industrial roughness
is backed by complex beats, pulsing bass and crystal clear ambient spheres.
samples sometimes serve as part of the cadenced foundation, f.e. in 'like hot
and bad dreams' samples are perfectly embedded to yield the uniqueness of this
project. on the other hand, tribal rhythms and harsh electronics clash during
the true floor burner 'sensitive size'.

grotesque consumer's spirit is acherontic and menacing, taking the listener
into a virtual arena where the enemy can be anywhere - there is no safety, keep
wide awake, and no time to rest... move!

V/A - MIWAK TWELVE (DOUBLE CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($15.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

set which includes 33 tracks by 33 projects. artists who (both well known and
new to our followers) spotlight hymen records as
things are now. a blend of electronica, breakbeats, dubstep, electro, ambient
and much more... enjoy the gush!

packaging: deluxe 6panel gatefold-sleeve
photography & design by salt

the german project THE_EMPATH has been active since 1993 and he has released
several cd-rs and various compilation tracks. both calm and powerful, his track
is a beautiful introduction to miwak twelve;
melodic electronica with a krautrock feel combined with a pumping, sub-bass
beat. SLAM52 is a rising young star, presenting his blend of vicious dubstep,
dark amen breaks and industrial mayhem with 'frosd'.
SOMATIC RESPONSES, from wales, do not require a grand announcement to hymen
records - as they have been with us since the beginning; 'takayama' combines
sharp electro beats with relaxed soundscapes and energetic sequential work.
while don hill from chicago has been creating dark ambient music under the
moniker porteur de l'image since 1998, he recently formed MILLIPEDE.
'concevoir' is a great example for what this project is up to: beat-oriented,
dark, harsh idm - a soundtrack for contemplation... watch out for his release
on hymen records in autumn 2009! DEFRAG (an acronym of defragmentation) is
active both as a musician and sound designer. his music features elements of
jungle, industrial and hard noise. 'the old growth' displays powerful
breakbeats, mighty pulsing bass and threatening
soundtrackish synth layers - a mesmerizing mixage! TONIKOM's 'the source'
features a d'n'b basis enriched with angelic choirs, an exotic theme and
well-placed samples - hello! 'sunurb' is a captivating dark
ambient piece that only NEBULO can create - thomas p. leads the listener into a
parallel world where everything is possible, nothing is real, and everything
might happen... DERU is benjamin wynn from los
angeles who has released music with ghostly international, merck, neo ouija,
and mille plateaux, amoungst others. his music is best described as an
amalgamation of hip-hop, electronica and idm, perfectly
demonstrated on 'between you and me'. go dance on the volcano, as long as it is
not too late! thus spoke david thrussell... 'the hostman of tyne' - a heavy
distorted electro tune by BLACK LUNG. enjoy, while you
can! LOWFISH, a.k.a. toronto's gregory de rocher, has released six albums and
many singles on some of independent dance music's most influential labels - he
has also charted in north america and is noted
for his punishing sets of live electronics. his clinical production style is
both very modern and built on the dna of early new wave/idm. sometimes dark,
often melodic and multi-layered. 'wreckage' is pure
intelligent electro, fast and impulsive - let go! and keep moving with HPC's
'phoenix', where hard beats are balanced with saturnine ambiance - another
great strike from the norwegian project. ACCESS TO
ARASAKA from rochester, n.y. is a one man project who has released several
albums in digital format (so far). 'xt10.20zp9' is excellent electronica,
combining densely-layered atmospheres with complex,
intelligent beatwork and massive bass. since hymen records' early years daniel
myer a.k.a. ARCHITECT has known how to trigger a lower lip response - 'awake'
features complex, dense beats while keeping clicks, cuts, synths and voices
together. there is no other! DRYFT is a solo project of former gridlock member
mike cadoo, who is active since 1999 under that moniker. on 'vector step'
melodious keyboard layers are pushed by varied rhythmic patterns that induce
relief and tension. cd1 is concluded by ben HECQ's 'sleep through the day', a
mellow and slightly melancholic combination of piano tunes, field recordings
and
gentle background strings...

cd2 opens up with COMBUSTION (marcelo baldin), an art director and sound
designer from brazil. 'building the house of vanity' is a soulful slow tune
featuring gentle guitar work and caro roth's feeling vocals.
'arrive with eyes ablazed', a slow distorted electronica jewel shows GINORMOUS'
ability to melt tension and relaxation into one emotion. david thrussell
appears for the second time, now as SNOG, introducing a
melancholic view about 'the end of the world' as he sees it - backwards
guitars, acoustic drums and thrussell's distinctive voice result in a pop song
with a spike only he is able to create. dave tipper and mike
wallis are active as CRUNCH since 2000. for miwak twelve they chose a remix by
vent (dan havers a.k.a. dj samurai / dc breaks and sam ashwell a.k.a. diagoro /
abstrakt knights). the vent mix of 'karot' - a bassy
electro shuffle enriched with clicks, cuts and chopped voices. 'breakstuff' is
a collaboration between MAD EP AND BRYCE BEVERLIN II, a multidisciplinary
artist residing in minneapolis where he explores
various forms of art including free improvisational music, film and video,
poetry, public/private installation, and conceptual composition. this alienated
hip hop based track forces movement - in many different
directions... 'sacrifice' is a post-rock electronica anthem by KEEF BAKER,
where symphonic keyboard layers and distorted guitars amalgamate into an
enthralling wall of sound. his face and his real name are
hidden but even more interesting questions arise when somebody attempts to get
into BLACKFILM's complicated music structures. starting off in a somewhat
soundtrack perspective, blackfilm slowly builds up an
incredibly dark environment, in which fearsome ambiences co-exist with
film-noir references. evolving from downtempo electronic music to orchestral
paroxysms and, insanely, passing from down-pitched
nothingness to frozen urban landscapes - it becomes impossible to resist. let
yourself sink in the abyss... together with slam52, KARSTEN PFLUM represent the
cutting-edge of danish electronic music, paying
with his music a tribute to the glorious times of idm, without losing the focus
on the future of the genre. recently he became addicted to the wobble sounds of
dubstep, and with 'capstone switch' he even
includes a pinch of slight breakcore - fast and dark, you will love it! swiss
project ABS6 uses his influences from d'n'b to hip hop to breakcore without
limiting himself to one style. 'premiers traitements'
is a great mixage of euphonic synth textures and click'n'cut broken beats. with
'the bard', reid dunn a.k.a. WISP presents a beautiful straight but complex
track where well-placed drum and bass patterns
meet orchestral samples - the mood is atrabilious and sanguine at the same
time. JEROME CHASSAGNARD features a soothing piece of electronica with a lovely
melody line. 'timeless travelers' - a wonderful sound experience. a friendly
visitor from ant-zen: MIKA GOEDRIJK. the belgian one man project known from his
'pellicules' release explores the borders between tribalistic body music and
electronic sound
explorations with impulsive and dark 'sore eyes'. a slow gloomy darkhop tune is
showcased by s.talada a.k.a. MARCHING DYNAMICS - a moving, actuating,
threatening almighty bomb! 'intercession' by ORPHX from canada, a
techno-infused rhythmic dance track, displays the ability of c.sealey and
r.oddie to give extensive structures a value. electronica pushed towards the
dancefloor... did we say dancefloor? BIT SHIFTER explores high-energy, low-bit
music composed and performed on a nintendo gameboy. the result is an
unapologetically fun foray into an evocative and distinctive sound set,
executed on a console generally misperceived as being technically limited. the
lo-fi disco burner 'easy prey' is a perfect example of how to get this console
to groove! 'back in town' by DEAD HOLLYWOOD STARS leads the listener to a
cotton field in the mississippi delta with shuffling drum beats and acoustic
slide guitars - but it might be possible an u.f.o. has landed just as alan
lomax has made this recording for the library of congress, because
there are irritating synthetic sounds here which definitely do not belong to
the delta blues... 'jailbait rock' by END adds the big twang to this
compilation - just exactly what was missing - fast, dirty electrock'n'roll! and
our party has come to an end with TWENTY KNIVES - after entering the 'royal
vomitorium' and being attacked by a phalanx of beats, superposed melodies and
hysterical classic-influenced e-piano there is nothing left to say, except for:
change to cd1 and start all over again!

LUKOTYK RECORDS
-------------------
DIGITAL FACTOR - "look back to go forward" (CD) (LUKOTYK) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed, the music has to get louder. Music and its visuality is distributed
more and more broadly via the Internet. It is between Youtube and Musicload
where the ears of the listeners are not hit with the quiet tones. No, the
opposite is the case. This also goes for the gentlemen of the Electro-EBM
formation Digital Factor in the 15th year of their existence. After the
release of an album in 2006 with One More Piece(Wannsee/edel) on which the
Electro Formation showed rather calmer tunes, the band now dedicates
themselves back to the harder Electrogefilden. Thus Digital Factor are
raving on look back to go forward (Lukotyk/Prussia/Rough Trade) with
stretched analog sequences and harsh rhythms. They actually look back to go
forward, and attach themselves to their success albums such as relation chip
(Hyperium/Indigo) from 1994 or On Demand (Hyperium/SPV) from 1996.
Meanwhile, those CDs are completely sold out, and look back to go forward
can certainly close this gap. Before the production of the new album we have
listened a lot to our old stuff, and had a lot of fun with it, says Torsten
Heise, initial member and owner of the Digital Factor studio. And that you
can be certain about.

Y-LUK-O - "Sin(n)" (CD) (LUKOTYK) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Y-Luk-Os album Sin(n) deals on one hand with the dark and inevitable edges
of the human soul and inter-individual relationships as well as
philosophical considerations. On the other hand there are the secret and
forbidden yearnings of man as well as recent social conflicts. For the first
time in the band history the band covered songs from famous other bands -
namely INXS, Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd! Harsh, merciless and critical,
like their lyrics, the edgy and memorable sound leaves deep tracks in the
memory of the listener. It will leave no doubt.

Y-LUK-O - "Resistance" (CD) (LUKOTYK) ($10.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The fourth Y-LUK-O Release "Resistance" features 7 new tracks and 7 remixes
of the title track. clocking in at 75 minutes this EP is as expanded as it
gets..

eXcubitors - "Auferstehung aus Ruinen" (CD) (LUKOTYK) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After some solo projects the three brothers Sascha, Thomas and Stephan
Viereck finally decided in september 2006 to found the band eXcubitors. (one
of the earlier projects was HSST Pain , which was released in 1996). The
name eXcubitor has its origin in latin and means the sentinel. eXcubitors
music stands for catchy, electronically synthesizer melodies carried by male
and female (feat.) vocals. The lyrics are partly based on personal
experiences, they are very emotional and thought of as thoughtful.
Everything began with the first two releases of the songs The Prophecy
(25.09.2006) and Mankind (13.10.2006). Songs that followed, like the
emotional song Neu geboren or the thoughtful song Rad des Lebens were
awarded by MOM (www.myownmusic.de) as HIT DES TAGES. The first pre-version
of the eXcubitors album with the title Auferstehung aus Ruinen was finished
end of 2006 / beginning of 2007. This beta version was already a big hit and
had many thrilled fans. The album was once again refurbished in 2007.
Besides some other things there were 3 more brand-new songs composed,
produced and added to the album. The mastering was done by Leo von Leibnitz
in the famous studio Phage Rabenau, which gives the soon to be released
album a very special note. Official release of the eXcubitors album
Auferstehung aus Ruinen is December 7th 2007!!! 1 Auferstehung aus Ruinen
(Intro) 2 The ProphecY 3 Neu Geboren 4 The Truth feat. Anne Wagner 5 Dignity

are back with their long awaited second album SUCHT!. They present ten
tracks of finest Power-Electro, created of delightful buzzing electronical
sounds and powerful screaming industrial guitars, that form the framework
for catchy melodies with a massive hit potential. In an impressive manner
they start the marchmachinery and come over the listener like a dark
thunderstorm of melody and rhythm. Their sound seems to be affected a little
by bands like Die Krupps or Depeche Mode. Another influence can be seen by
the cover version of Erasures 80s classic When I Needed You, one of many
highlights on the new album Sucht! The album deals with dependence and
addiction as well as their multifaceted consequences for our life. In a very
explicit way the words find their way into the listeners mind, holding the
mirror directly on the abyss of the human soul. Frontman Chris is telling
the stories with a clear and memorable voice, supported again by the
fantastic voices of Ulrike Muller and guitarist Siegfried Grampe. The
artwork was made by fotographer Claudia Schoene, which caught the intensive
atmosphere in an impressive way in her pictures. Musical production was made
again by Leo von Leibnitz, who gave the album a very powerful and complex
but at the same time extremely danceable sound. PHILOSOPHER'S POINT are
back! The new album Sucht! consists of 47 minutes of pure energy and
emotion! That perfect mix of power and catchy melodies addicts you and makes
PHILOSOPHER'S POINT a must-have for the clubs and at home. Nobody should
miss this fantastic album! It makes you fly so buy!!!

with lots of new ideas and hope for the dark future to come!

THIS MORN OMINA -"momentum of singular clarity" (CD-EP)(IMPORT)($11.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five years have passed since the self-contained 'drake equation'. this ep is
also a stand-alone release - a stop between the second and the third part of
the nyan trilogy. sal-ocin joined t.m.o. as a full member a few years ago
and now the project is a trio with the inclusion of the live concert drummer
spike.

this morn' omina created five tracks which combine rhythmic complexity with
impulsive power and tuneful depth to aurally express mass and velocity of an
object (=momentum). framed by the fast, pulsating floor burners momentum I
and II, you will discover the melodic beauty of nuraghi, the tribal,
symphonic darkness of ananda, and the slow, melancholic flow of tellurian.
synthetic beats, acoustic percussion, sub-basses, atmospheric electronics
and energetic vocals result in the uniqueness that this morn' omina stands
for.

TONIKOM - "the sniper's veil" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)

veil displays this artist's evolution and improvement.'temporarius delerium'
invites the listener in with angelic voices, mighty bass pulses and a looped
chant, just before a pounding breakbeat takes over and calls the shots for
the album. pushing technoid textures carry beautiful electronica themes,
sampled field recordings add a cinematic ambiance to the diversified,
straight rhythmic foundation covering a range of downtempo, trip hop,
breakbeat and fast chthonian four-to-the-floor cadences. with the
atmospheric 'look but never touch' the album comes full circle - to start
all over again...

a varied and monolithic opus designed for a maximum amount of body activity,
letting you groove continuously in a higher state of blissful flow.

lift the sniper's veil - and watch tonikom live on her european tour in
april 2009!

HECQ - "steeltongued" (DOUBLE CD) (IMPORT) ($17.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
packaging: deluxe 6-panel digipak. design by christopher hewitt

after finishing the well received 'night falls', ben lukas boysen's ambition
for the next album was to be a desideratum's compliance: the improvement of
hecq's sound, and moving forward into something boysen
defines as an 'emotional destillate'. the tracks 'typhon' and
'steeltongued', written in 2007 and 2008, provide the blueprint for this cd.
working as a sound designer for various companies, he presented earlier
versions of the tracks and was met with success. these tracks show a
non-confined structure but also including a sort of leitmotif and so these
titles are perfectly suited for this ambition. in addition they work as a
basis for collaborations and remixes.the hypnos trilogy (tracks 10 to 12) is
hecq's dedication to the state of stasis. in his own words, 'distant fires'
describes a gaze which travels into a distance uncertain; 'lost for words'
leads the listener into a state of cogitation - while 'hypnos' allegorizes a
slowly constitutive wall of suspense that trickles away in the end... a
masterpiece of dark symphonic ambiance, intended for continuous, repeated
intense listening.

in hecq's opinion the importance of the tracks on cd1 lies in the skilful
omission of the insignificant. although complex abstract rhythmic textures
predominate during tracks 2 to 9 no 'scrolls' blocks the essence. after the
majestic 'spires awake', the listener will be trapped in an extensive blend
of idm, breakbeats, and even breakcore, complemented with the infusion of
nebulo's mighty dark soundscapes and nongenetic's modified voice.it was well
proposed by boysen to choose the cd's title track to be remixed by a wide
variety of artists. he sees 'steeltongued' as representative of hecq's work,
so he was most curious about the
results - the more contrast, the better, as he explains. so he formally
prevented any suggestions or briefings, and thus cd2 can be virtually seen
as an album on its own. ranging from melodic sequenced beats
(xabec), clicks'n'cuts emerging into a noise outburst (spyweirdos),
syncopated intelligent breaks (skam label's team doyobi), to intricate
sub-bassed electronica (si begg, ex-funkstrung's michael fakesch) and
alienated dubstep (disscoxx), this addendum displays the versatile facets of
the possibilities hecq's work imply. once again b. boysen is setting the
pace. have a deep listen!

L'OMBRE - "letting go at the steering wheel" (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Stephen Sawyer took his time with his recent release - more than four years
have passed since simulations 2.0 was released and now the journey into
l'ombre's aural cosmos continues. join him and let go at the steering
wheel...

the music is personified as driving rhythmic foundations which range from
slow melancholic trip hop and faster high-energetic breakbeats to syncopated
triplets that emerge from mighty over amplified ambient environments - all
created by acoustic and electronic sources. these cadences solidify the
abstract collages, heavy low-frequency electro bass lines, sinister minor
piano chords and harsh industrial sound sequences. apparently contradicting
styles collide and melt into something new, f.e. the darkhop noise hymn
'combustion chamber'.

truly it took a long time to move from l'ombre's ambient oriented first
works to what he represents now.
does fragile abrasiveness exist? join the ride, and be committed!

LENS RECORDS
-----------------------
DELICATE NOISE - " Filmezza" (CD) (LENS RECORDS) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electronic artist from Chicago who blends layered, plodding backbeats and
textured synth washes for his own blend of electronica.
This is the second album and has a flowing chill electronica feel,
mainly instrumental and thematic samples and 17 tracks of soundtrack styled
songs.

RAPOON - "dark rivers" (CD) (LENS RECORDS) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dark Rivers is the sonic exploration and reflection of a particular stretch
of landscape in the north of England. This is the home of Rapoons Robin
Storey and it is an essential part of who he is.

"Dark Rivers is about a particular area in the North of England which
stretches from the Solway Firth into the wastelands of the Northumbrian
borders. This area is steeped in history and mystery. In particular, I have
focused on the development of Britain's Cold War intercontinental ballistic
missile weaponry in the late forties and fifties and which later became the
center for Britain's space efforts. The idea that these top secret research
bases were sited here is one of interest in itself. The area is historically
renowned for its outlaws and geographical and political marginalism.
Geographically, this is where the Roman Empire stopped and long before that
this is an area that has the highest count of pre-historic rock glyphs
anywhere in the world. Many of the place names reflect the ancient cultural
beliefs and superstitions - Black Fell, Black Beck, etc. Even today the
place is wild and remote and old superstitions live on. The conflict of the
ancient superstitions and the cold war paranoia is essentially what this is
about. The older superstitions swallowing whole the newer age which came and
went on the same dark, brooding hills. I was lucky enough to be born and
grow up here and the darkness of the place is embedded deeply inside me."

Dark Rivers marks the debut of Rapoon on Lens Records and we are very
pleased to be working with him. With Dark Rivers, Robin Storey has created
another masterpiece in his collection of essential artistic achievements and
ever-evolving musical vocabulary.

DSBP RECORDS
------------------
PROYECTO CRISIS - 'Made in Chile" (CD) (DSBP) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Proyecto Crisis was made up in Santiago de Chile where the hatred, power
abuse and death are just round the corner; this made Felipe Alarcn to
create a musical project influenced by such reality.
In 2004, with the technology and digitalization of the world, Felipe
decided to break with his soloist project and joined a vocalist who would
represent the strength and attitude of the band, being such time when
Mariano Lopez gets on stage.
After this union, they begin to write and create together, experiencing
harder sounds of EBM and Dark Electro.
With influences such as , Das Ich, Nitzer Ebb and Suicide Commando,
they create a perfect fusion until obtaining an
acid voice and a shuddering sound making them unique within the
Chilean movement.

This debut CD presents ultra fast paced Harsh EBM with Spanish vocals,
frantic synths, thick sequences, club beats, and a modern sound.
18 tracks fill the disc to the brim with a bonus remix EP from
LA-X ,Die Braut, Say Just Words, Menschdefekt, Destruction Blitzkrieg...
Bands such as HOCICO (when they were more fast paced), AMDUSCIA,
PUNTO OMEGA, and TAMTRUM come to mind when listening to this,
but PROYECTO CRISIS have captured their own distinct take on this
style after a short while.

Proyecto crisis intends to express the irregularities of the Chilean
society and the world, showing and expressing the constant crisis in
which we are living,blinded by the reigning capitalism of this country.

Not to be missed, this album will not let you sleep, thats for sure..
Unrelenting, busy, and speedy demon EBM!

CRUNCHPOD
------------
UBERBYTE - "DOS" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following up their surprise hit debut "SIC", the UK's confrontational
industrialists Uberbyte are now ready to unleash their follow-up, titled
"DOS," on Crunch Pod.

DOS maintains Uberbyte's penchant for hook driven songwriting, this time
with a darker, grittier edge. It also sees the band emerge from a whirpool
of influences into something altogether more realized and mature. On the new
disc, the band's central recording hub and main clubwrecker, also known as
Uberman, remarked:

"With SIC we announced ourselves, but DOS goes a quantum level beyond that.
We're still all about songs and hooks but this time we got down to showing
some more teeth, a bit more of the kind of aggression and groove we have
live. It was a blast to make too-- lots of fun and that's what really counts
to us."

Uberbyte remains, at their core, a mixture of the old and new school of
industrial, pumping out enough pile driving, slam dunking power for any
dancefloor while at the same time being capable of throwing out lean,
distinctive, melodic material with a dark, twisted sense of humor.

Get ready to be Uberbyte's industrial bitch.

UBERBYTE - "SIC" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
UK sturm and drang stompers UBERBYTE rose from the ashes of the
controversial industrial rock outfit Killing Miranda in late 2006. Newly
rechristened with the enigmatic moniker "Uberman", KM's former vocalist
quickly took Uberbyte to the stage, providing support to such heavy hitters
as Hocico, The Cruxshadows, Panzer AG, KiEw, Die Krupps, XP8, and Faderhead,
becoming an almost overnight sensation in the flourishing, revitalized UK
industrial scene.

An appearance on the distinguished 2007 four-disc compilation ENDZEIT
BUNKERTRACKS III for the club hit "Total War" pushed Uberbyte even further
into the spotlight, with their fanbase dramatically increasing due to their
energetic live performances (which have already taken them as far as
Mexico), remixes for the likes of Leatherstrip, XP8, and Aesthetic
Perfection , and grassroots local and international support.

Wasting no time, UBERBYTE will be releasing their debut CD SIC on the U.S.
label CRUNCH POD, home of industrial upstarts such as CERVELLO ELETTRONICO,
MANUFACTURA, C/A/T, and CAUSTIC. SIC's lean programming and infectious hooks
keep one foot grounded in industrial's dance heyday of CUBANATE, LEATHER
STRIP, and early :WUMPSCUT: while maintaining a keen eye on the future with
influences such as GRENDEL and HOCICO. While comparisons can be made to
today's current ebm/industrial fusions, none sound exactly like Uberbyte,
and that demonstrates why they are on the rise. SIC is a head welding
relentless rhythmic assault that will get stuck in your head for days to
come.

People of the world, STAND UP FOR UBERBYTE!

PROMETHEUS BURNING - "plague called huMANity" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD)
($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
Prometheus Burning has straddled the industrial and experimental noise
scenes for years with their blend of jagged, compelling dark electronics,
digital banshee vocals, and their devastatingly powerful, visceral live
performances. 2009 marks ProBurn's return to the spotlight with their new
full length release and Crunch Pod debut; Plague called huMANity.

With the unleashing of this new concept album, vocalist Nikki Telladictorian
and electronics guru Greg VanEck set and follow their own standards with a
truly unique vision. Based loosely on the mythology of Pandora's Box, Plague
called huMANity is ProBurn's most ambitious and accessible work to date.
Combining remarkably varied elements of industrial, breakcore, and IDM,
Plague Called HuMANity has an artistic bloodlust that oozes from every
fractured note. Seeping with subtle nods and references to their earliest
electro-industrial influences of the 80's and 90's, Plague called huMANity
even features their own take on the classic Ministry floorcrusher "You Know
What You Are" as an album bonus.

Get ready world -- the Mother of Abominations is here!

CAUSTIC - "This is Jizzcore" (Ltd.Double CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($18.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hard electronics polygamist Matt Fanale, aka Caustic, has been churning out
his blend of industrial combined with everything from techno, punk, ebm,
breakcore, and beyond for going on 7 years now, releasing most of it on
California's Crunch Pod label, and January brings Caustic's new 2CD THIS IS
JIZZCORE to the ears of the world with nearly 2 hours of original material
and remixes.

While the title is a joke on artists self-titling their own genres to fit
their egos, it's arguably Caustic's most "serious" work yet, with tracks
careening from headbanging stompfests to glitched out clubtracks to
scream-along anthems. Caustic isn't concerned as much with sticking with one
style, but morphing the music like an mp3 player on shuffle to kick maximum
ass on every track. In a world where attention spans have turned to Jello,
Caustic accepts the challenge like a six year old souped up on pixie sticks
and drags musical cohorts from everywhere from XP8 to Null Device to
Everything Goes Cold and The Gothsicles. There's even a collaboration
between Caustic and the legendary Tom Shear of Assemblage 23, under his idm
project Nerve Filter.

ALTER DER RUINE - "the giants from far away" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alter Der Ruine sets the bar high for themselves with their new CD "Giants
From Far Away".

They've pulled a lot of different influences into the mix to create an album
unlike anything else they've done to date. It's crammed with enough
electronics to make the dancefloor happy, as well as generous genre forays
to keep a keen listener amused.

With elements of electro, industrial, IDM, hardcore and even black metal,
Giants From Far Away sets out to be something more than just another album.
And it could quite possibly be that something with enough personality to be
your new audio best friend.

C/A/T - "The second chance" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sometimes you have a second chance... to start over."

C/A/T presents a complete re-working of 2007's "Point Of No Return" album by
some of the hottest new and established acts in the industrial scene today!

Originally conceived to be a "digital only" release - C/A/T has decided to
release a limited number of this album on a professionally produced CDR
(just like all of the limited Caustic releases Crunch Pod has released).

The list of remixers includes fellow Crunch Pod artists Caustic,
Manufactura, Bitch Brigade, Alter Der Ruine, Uberbyte and [syndika:zero].
Also included are remixes from SAM, FabrikC, XP8 and Marching Dynamics.

If that's not enough, the album kicks off with fresh versions of "Parasite"
and "Shoot To Kill" remixed and re-recorded by C/A/T!

VENDETTA MUSIC
-------------------------
PUNTO OMEGA - "Noche Oscura Del Alma" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) (12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Argentinian electro-heroes PUNTO OMEGA celebrate the dark night of the
soul. In tormentingly fatalistic songs, delivered in aggressive Spanish,
they follow the path of those upon the eternal search for truth and freedom.
This path is lined with crises, conflict, humiliation and manipulation.
"Noche Oscura del Alma" (The Dark Night of the Soul) is the moment of the
absolute nadir, from which one emerges strengthened. Only afterwards is one
able to find one's own true identity.

The music of the exotic dark electro duo is stamped through with this
existentialism and deliberately confronts the gentle listener with a
merciless strength: lashing, razor-sharp beats raining down,
industrial-inspired noise, catchy keyboard passages and the demonic vocals
create an unforgettable mixture which no fan of the genre will be able to
resist. PUNTO OMEGA move between HOCICO and WUMPSCUT and the epic
atmospherics of VNV NATION but yet offer more: a whole range of
dancefloor-compatible hits and occasional hints of martial bombast and
sinister atmospherics. Even neo-classical elements and acoustic guitars can
be heard.

With their album "Noche Oscura del Alma" the new Latin American forerunners
of hard electronic anthems set forth their dark philosophy, in which each
true seeker may recognize themselves. Stirring electronics, every once in a
while stamped with a dreadful coldness, but at the same time passionately
and seductively monumental. A long yearned-for inferno, after which the
rebirth will unquestionably follow.

NACHTMAHR - "katharsis" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NACHTMAHR has become the undisputed dictator of the anarchistic, martial
Industrial-Dance underground. With harsh industrial sounds, striking vocals
and an assured sense of style Thomas Rainer has managed to win a place in
the hearts of his loyal and dance-crazy fans. True Imperial Austrian
Industrial, celebrated on smoldering ruins.

After the album "Feuer frei!" has hit like a bomb, the nightmare warriors
promptly come up with a keenly anticipated single release. Katharsis in
accordance with its title guarantees cleansing by raucous rage and rhythmic
frenzy. This E.P. contains one new and exclusive studio song plus the track
I Believe In Blood (hitherto only available on the SAW 4 soundtrack) and of
course remixes by famous electro and EBM bands such as XOTOX, NOISUF-X,
STRAFTANZ, SOMAN,ALTER DER RUINE, SAM, READJUST, STRAFTANZ and REAPER .

NACHTMAHRs Katharsis is hammering post-industrial dancefloor music with the
spirit of revolt! A must-have for fans of tough electronic music.

NECROTEK - "Menschenfeind" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Menschenfeind' is Necrotek's first full-length CD. It represents a strong
development in complexity and style from the first demo - blending
old-school industrial elements with cyber-tek electronics to create a dark
and uncompromising industrial sound.

Influenced by artists such as SKINNY PUPPY, FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY, DIVE,
THRILL KILL KULT, PUTREFY FACTOR 7, PORTION CONTROL and others, NECROTEK's
'Menschenfeind' blends old-school Industrial elements with futuristic
cyber-tek electronics to create a powerful and uncompromising Dark
Industrial sound.

'Menschenfeind' is an indictment of the species, a vitriolic invective
against the decline of humanity. With topics ranging from personal to
political, it condemns the failures of mankind and explores the process of
degradation and decline, in both individual life and as a social creature on
the world stage.

TO MEGA THERION - "the blood rituals" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Mega Therion is a mixture of Dark Ambient, Power Noize, Power
Electronics, and Electro Experimentation with an occult, post apocalyptic,
dark spiritual theme. 'The Blood Rituals' features 6 original tracks and 6
remixes from W.A.S.T.E., AH CAMA-SOTZ, EMBODI, ENDIF, ALTER DER RUINE, and
VUXNUT.

To Mega Therion, created by Tyler Vicerine became a force to be
reckoned with in 2007. Incorporating occult themes into industrial music
caught the attention of the masses. Their intense live shows, remix
appearances, radio spots, worldwide club play, interviews, and reviews
caught the attention of fans, booking agencies, and record labels. The remix
of Psycho Killer (inside you mix) on the W.A.S.T.E. album, This Is What We
Seek, not only led to Tyler Viscerines collaboration with Vuxnut as
co-producer of To Mega Therion, but Tyler also evolved into becoming a
fulltime member of W.A.S.T.E. as well. The occult theme and harsh
electronics surrounding To Mega Therion are depicted in their theatrical
stage work and imagery that To Mega Therion has become known for.
All hail the coming age of Black Noise!

THE DIVISION - "mantras" (CD) (LENS RECORDS) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Schultz has unveiled his newest endeavor, The Division. This sound
project is a reconstruction of ancient spells and rituals reinterpreted
aurally by one of the leading dark ambient artists of our time.

With this newest disc - "Mantras" - Matthew Schultz has delved into the
esoteric and ancient fraternal order of The Division. He has reinterpreted
the traditional texts and scores of the order to create a beautifully
dynamic and sometimes disturbing disc that synthesizes world music, dark
ambient and magick or Matgick. Mantras is the first in a trilogy of discs
that express all the aspects of The Division.

Matthew Schultz was the founding member of Lab Report which included
musicians such as Genesis P Orridge, Lydia Lunch and Chris Connelly. He was
the inventor of the acclaimed A.T.G. or Anti Tank Guitar. He utilized this
instrument not only with Lab Report but also with Pigface and performed on
several of their early releases. In total Schultz has appeared on over 30
CDs with 5 solo productions and 2 feature film soundtracks (Ivan's XTC and
Snuffmovie) for Hollywood director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Paperhouse,
Immortal Beloved). Schultz has covered an extremely wide range of styles
from dark ambient to blues to jazz.

ALIEN VAMPIRES - "fuck off and die" (CD) (BLC PROD) ($16.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The masters of melding electro, metal and trance in a brilliant hard-electro
cocktail return after their huge successes with MCD "Nuns are Pregnant",
full-length album "EVIL GENERATION", and "NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE" - all
of which have been grabbed up by the rabid fans who demonstrate an almost
cult-like devotion to the iconoclastic ALIEN VAMPIRES. Never shying away
from confrontation, the Italy-UK duo has dished up a new full-length called
"FUCK OFF AND DIE" - so put the kids to bed, at least if you intend to say
the name of the album out loud! Otherwise, it's nearly 80 minutes of
raging, raving, inescapable audio pleasure as only ALIEN VAMPIRES can
deliver it. Featuring an intro by legendary electro founders IN SLAUGHTER
NATIVES, a killer remix by NOISUF-X, and a special guest appearance on
vocals by the legendary SUICIDE COMMANDO, this album is a "must have", if
ever there was one. Expect the album to be sold out - and fast!

OBSZON GESCHOPF -"Erection Body Mutilated" (back from the dead) (2CD)
($17.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
The "madman" of France was formerly a BLC band, releasing "Son of Evil" some
years ago, but then left the label to search for his true hard-electro sound
- and he found it! OBSZON GESCHOPF has now completely torn the doors off,
pulled out all the stops, and hits you everywhere in this brutal double-disc
extravaganza of pure hardcore electro heaven. Of all things, OG decides to
make an electronica tribute of sorts to serial killers like John Wayne Gacy,
Albert Fish, Ed Gein ... ah yes, all good friends NOT to have ;-) But they
can become your buddies for sure if you pick up this amazing double-disc
set. A bit of background: OG actually had thrown in the towel because his
new creation got hung up at another label and there was no movement toward
getting it released. In frustration, he declared himself musically DEAD.
But not so! He was properly resurrected by BLC PRODUCTIONS and will soon
show the world how gut-wrenching, often guitar-riddled electro, really
sounds, giving a tip of the hat back to the old masters of coldwave
electronic and formative masters like Throbbing Gristle. We absolutely
guarantee an orgasm. Believe us, hundreds of thousands of fans cannot be
wrong. Perhaps the most magnificent hardcore album of the decade, Disc One
presents all original material, and Disc Two bangs out 15 remix hits from
greats like HEIMATAERDE, JOACHIM WITT, OUT OUT, STERIL, FGFC820, CYBER AXIS,
CIRCUS OF DEAD SQUIRELS, JOACHIM WITT, VIGILANTE,
BOSCH, IKONOKLAST, SCHATTENSCHLAG, XENTRIFUGE, INERTIA, and more...
A real treasure for the hardcore dark electro fans!

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
--------------------------------
SYNAPSCAPE - "Again" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The dynamic duo from bielefeld is back - one and a half years after 'now',
tim kniep and philipp mnch present another full dose of massive electronics
for the mind and body.

tracks like 'who painted my cat black' and 'stuck' keep up synapscape's
aural trademark: heavyweight interlaced polyrhythms, distorted textures and
tim's non-reversible voice - an ecstatic mixture evolved to make you move!
on 'countercroque' or 'requirement', crystal clear technoid detroit synth
lines meet strictly accentuated beats, disturbing samples and captivating
melodies. the more you listen to this album, the more details that will be
visible. proper heavy engine!

the fascinating aspect of this project's work (since the beginning) is their
ability to innovate in a genre in which many participants seem to restrict
themselves - despite the countless amount of technical options. once 'again'
synapscape assert their position as one of the most innovative artists of
industrial music today. ahuenna!

MIKA GOEDRIJK - "pellicules" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT)($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
"to create is divine - to reproduce is human" (man ray)

many listeners will have expectations about this release as mika goedrijk is
well-known as the mastermind of projects such as this morn' omina, project
arctic and pow(d)er pussy.

what you are about to hear illustrates mika's decision to form a 'brand new'
project (which is named perfectly). pellicules (films) highlights previously
unrecognized facets of mika's musical self-conception. this album
accentuates prior subsurface appearances of technoid intelligent dance music
structures, catchy impulsive beats, melodic soundscapes and (unpredictable)
tribal elements. for this project mika goedrijk left out oriental mysticism
for occidental accuracy - the result is conclusive evidence that a pretend
'misfortune' can turn into a valuable work of electronic art.

"a man is the sum of his misfortunes" (william faulkner)
or is he? while musing (somewhere late december 2007) on why a
cinematographer (before the digital age) cuts away parts of his visual
creation and lets the pellicules drop on the floor (never to look at them
again), have them burned or simply let them gather dust in some archive. as
if he is unsatisfied with the result and is technologically unable to
recreate anything on the fabric of the pellicule. i decided to go back to
what i considered to be my pellicules, face them and recreate them as there
was still a spark of life in them upon closer inspection. it was an arduous
task but nevertheless a pleasant one at times.

marcel proust was the main inspiration:
"...for you are not even a person, a clearly defined entity, imperfect but
at least perfectible" (from 'swann in love')... this particular sentence
ignited the spark to (re)create) - other interesting guides in this
endeavour were faulkner, derrida, foucault and man ray. although the above
seem to be irreconcilable at first sight, they are not.

so here you have it, my personal pellicules. discarded as they were seen as
'misfortunes' (or part of them) but now teeming with life - as they were
(re)created beyond any form of recognition.

so yes you are wrong when thinking this is 'old stuff'. it is in fact brand
new. it has no relation to any of the other projects - which is the main
reason why i wanted it to be released under my own name and not a 'project
name'.

enjoy to the fullest extent possible. let it wrap around you like a warm
blanket in the midst of winter and play it loud!

KEEF BAKER - "pen fifteen" (DOUBLE CD)(HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($17.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
mighty subbass drones, driving, energetic beats, wonderful piano lines,
atmospheric keyboards, doomy guitars, occasional vocal work - pen fifteen is
another journey into keef baker's world, where unequal
musical styles like trip hop, electronica and even metal are used as
baseplates and sometimes merge within a single note - just check out what
starts as a distorted guitar and ends as click'n'cut in 'dead
end'. instead of 'eclecticism' a logical extrapolation of varied influences
is displayed, whether it is post-rock, intelligent dance music, dub... in
the end they become one style that can only be called keef baker. 11 songs
of melodic harshness - loud and powerful even in their quietest moments.
expect your expectations to be confounded!

"this is the voice of light city..." - intended to be listened to without
interference or pauses - a trip into sudorific clublife that keeps you
moving for more than an hour. an astounding mix with well-placed increasing
and decreasing speed, ranging from dubstep to techno to drum and bass to
breakcore and back. this is keef as he sounds while performing live - a
great addition to a phantastic album. and remember: "the state loves you!"

MARCHING DYNAMICS - "the workers party of haiti" (CD) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
what about darkness..?"

it was worth waiting more than a year for the second aural manifestation of
s.talada's darker self. m.d.'s unique mix of intelligent dance music, dark
experimental sound layers and technoid beat'n'bass patterns enthused a large
audience worldwide on the previous nailsleeper release. now it's the time
for the workers party of haiti to take over...

music as diverse as moody atmospheric dark ambient tunes, slow
hop-beat-driven sub-bass monsters and fast dance tracks built upon hard
hitting breaks. this album displays talada's ability to merge all these
styles into one instead of simply stringing them together. crisp percussion
blasts meet soundtrackish synth lines while aggravating your somatic
responses - distortion from detroit meets with los(t) angeles
industrial gloom - dark complexity amalgamates with rhythmic intensity...

"the workers party of haiti was my own exorcism from the demon that
surrounded me and that was haunting me." (s.talada) - join the exorcism!

ARTOFFACT (CANADA)
--------------------------
XANDRIA - "salome" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
A touch of feminine sensuality, a hint of far away strange places
where only wishful dreams will take us, carried on wings of metallic
hardness and at the same time accompanied by that certain darkness - these
images come to mind when listening to the music of Xandria, a band who can
look back on four successful albums.

Following the stir that the band had already created on the underground
scene with several demo songs which had been released on the Internet,
Xandria laid the cornerstone of a long career in 2003 with their debut "Kill
The Sun". The release was greeted by enthusiastic reactions and made
directly for the German Media Control Charts, followed by a tour all over
Germany. When they headed for the album charts one year later on the black
wings of "Ravenheart", carried by Celtic winds, a mythical element had
become an ingredient of their music. They stayed in the charts for a full
two months, making no. 36, and enchanted their growing fan base with the
fantasy clip which accompanied the title track "Ravenheart" and has come to
be considered a classic of the genre. The press were unanimous in their
praise, and tours and festival performances followed. Summer 2004 saw the
band play the main stage of the Summer Breeze festival and the Busan
International Rock Festival in Korea - the biggest in Southeast Asia -,
where they wowed 30,000 people. "Ravenheart" went on to beat the pants off
the debut's success, the band joining the ranks of the luminaries of the
scene.

But what exactly is it that makes this band so enormously fascinating? The
musicians blend metal with visionary sonic landscapes into the soundtrack of
another, very different world. Xandria's world allows you to be vulnerable
or strong, show emotions and live all those dreams that reality seems to
sneer on. With the release of their fourth and by far best album Salome -
The Seventh Veil, Xandria secures their position as one of the best
gothic-metal acts in the world. Artoffact Records' release of this classic
gem comes with a bonus remix of the hit single Sisters of the Light from
Jesus On Extasy and is not to be missed!

CAUSTIC RECORDS (SPAIN)
--------------------------------
PLASMODIVM - "Paradise Under Fire" (Digipack CD) (CAUSTIC
REC)(IMPORT)($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
The year 2008 marks the debut on Caustic Records of this spanish project who
has been many years working quietly into the darker electro-industrial
field. With this first work titled "Paradise Under Fire", they start a
formula that pursues to actively serve as a bridge between the two main
currents of the Dark EBM, focusing in the nineties one, but without ignoring
sounds and structures more in line with emerging Dark Electro trends. A
sonic virus extremely powerful, deadly and corrosive in whose test tube is
possible to perceive the influence of bands like Suicide Commando,
Sleepwalker, Velvet Acid Christ, E-Craft, Leaether Strip or :Wumpscut: and
that, coupled with his unique vision of making dark electronic, makes this
Paradise in Flames a shocking experience recommended for the good dark EBM
taster, and reaches heights of superb quality with truly daunting tracks as
"Be unclean - Stay impure", "Rise," "Life As Slave" or the epic last song of
the album "Mi Vida se Apaga parte II," all of them real bombs to the dance
floor. In addition, Plasmodivm explores in cuts like "Fade Away" or "Embrace
my Fear" sounds and atmospheres close to bands like Mortal Constraint or the
first Polygon, with truly remarkable results by the sound designs and use of
samples, element that is handled with great skill throughout the work.

V/A - ELECTRONIC MANIFESTO (Double CD) (CAUSTIC RECORDS)(IMPORT) ($17.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
CAUSTIC RECORDS presents "Electronic Manifesto", a double CD compilation
that tries to recover the spirit of the Electro-Industrial revolution forged
at the end of 80s and in the decade of 90s, when the creativity, the
interaction between the artist and the analogical and digital machines of
musical creation, as well as the complexity and the necessary effort for the
production, reached the maximum level. "Electronic Manifesto" borns from the
colaboration between Pedro Peas y Robles (HIV+) and Caustic Records, and it
tries to be an homage to all these pioneers of the sinths and drum-machines,
invoking again the spirit of the electro-industrial music masters for this
project. Electronic music has been losing often his originality, his
creativity and his dark soul; as a reply to the current electro scene,
without capacity to surprise, always striking us with the same rythms,
always the same presets of the same synths and lyrics without substance, we
shout this manifest for being listened.

(CD1)NEON CAGE EXPERIMENT, LAAG, MAURI, THE HACKER & HIV+, TERENCE FIXMER,

TANNHAUSER - "A new biostate" (CD)(CAUSTIC RECORDS) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
"A new biostate" proposes a step farther in the evolution of the EBM and
Electro with dark aesthetics. Using Techno, Rythm n Noise, Industrial,
Electro-dark and EBM resources and influences, and singing in Spanish,
English and German languages, this duo from Barcelona (Spain) presents us an
impecable work, with an exquisite production and complex and worrying
lyrics. "A new biostate" establishes a point of inflexion in present EBM
history. TANNHAUSER's doors are opened, discover what exists behind them!!!

Tannhauser/Event- Split' (CD) (CAUSTIC RECORDS) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Fith label reference and debut for the two bands that share CD. The selected
songs by Tannhauser stand out by their forceful and mechanical electronic
lines, between the old school EBM and the most rythmic industrial, which
gives certain degree of 'experimentness' in every track. On the other hand,
the Barcelona-based Event gift us with a set of tracks that wisely melt the
energy of drum&bass rythms with EBM strongness, spouring everything with a
range of atmospheric pads that surround in darkness every track. In both
projects outstands the careful usage of film-sampling in the non-vocals
tracks, achieving the creation of simple sound fx and fat atmospheres full
of tension.

HIV+ - "Overdose Kill me" (CD) (CAUSTIC RECORDS)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----
After four albums very appreciated by the public as well as by the
international dark press-media, and after a lot of collaborations and
remixes (for Hocico, Sonar, Glis or Tamtrum among others) this Spanish
artist who lives in France has created an industrial universe which has its
roots in the more insane part of the human mind. With this new album Pedro
Peas y Robles explores his favorite topics: the madness, the desire, the
contamination, the drugs or the death, collaborating with the Swiss musician
STENDECK and allowing remixes by the great Saverio Evangelista (member of
ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO/MSB) as well as by electro dark scene bands like OBSZN
GESCHPF, NV and DATARAPER. This excellent new album enters into complex
universes of SKINNY PUPPY, DOWNLOAD or GRIDLOCK, without forgetting the
rhythm n'noise structures that give his own personality to this artist. The
album contains a video with two songs extracted from the HIV+ live at INFEST
2005.

ENCODER - "slivers of time" (CD) (ENCODER MUSIC) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
The 2nd album from ENCODER brings a progression in sound and a new lead
vocalist.Sara Eugene joins DJ Cable and Pat B. to make this a stronger,
and more melodic 3 piece act.The songs are very EBM/trance/synthpop
in style mix, and very catchy and dancey for the clubs.
15 tracks in all featuring Romell Regulacion(Razed in Black),and
Lady Omega(Kalaphas) as guest vocalists, and remixes by Ethereal Sedition,
and Liquid Newt, and an excellent cover of "sweet dreams(are made of this)"
as well!!

WTII RECORDS
----------------
THE THOUGHT CRIMINALS -"Die young stay pretty"(CD)(WTII RECORDS) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
The Thought Criminals was formed in South London, UK in 2004 when
programmer/musician Kirlian Blue and vocalist/frontman Rocky Goode, set out
to form a band that would blend early 80s dark electronic music with the
more modern alternative dance music of today. The duo worked feverishly on
their concept and then enlisted the help of famed dance producer Tony
Messenger and mixer Robb Henry to tie things together. Their debut single
"(Im Gonna be a) Celebrity" was released in the fall of 2006 and provided
the first glimpse of the bands abilities and showcased their potential of
what lied ahead. The follow-up single "My Babys a Suicide Bomber", continued
to build momentum and set the stage for the bands Tongue and Cheek
/Sci-fi/80s stoke Electro Punk themed debut, Die Young: Stay Pretty.
17 tracks in all, and a full CD of this interesting and fun band!

MONSTRUM SEPSIS - "Artifacts" (CD) (WTII RECORDS) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
Formed and founded by Rob Wentz and Paul Karlik in 1996, the duo have
explored many traditional and non traditional ways of creating music. Their
inspired blend of dynamic intensity is generated by using minimal amounts of
tech hardware and equipment while trying to maintain as large of audio
presence as possible. Their basic inspiration and portrayal is to use aural
soundscapes to intrepret feelings and moods.

Their constant exploration has caused the Monstrum Sepsis sound to
constantly change and mold. Such transitions can be better defined after
hearing their first two releases, Primordial Notions Alpha and Primordial
Notions Beta. Their present day sound is more intense but still maintains
the essence that has made Monstrum Sepsis unique.

"Artifacts" blends layers of synths over waves of pulsating and pounding
percussion.A few tracks also bring in some informative, politically driven
samples which will keep your attention on that end, while the music itself
takes another part of your mind and body...15 tracks in all, and a fresh
sound!

AUDIOTRAUMA (FRANCE)
----------------------------
LE DIKTAT - "unabomber" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------
LE DIKTAT is a bicephalous project held by Thomas P. and Benoit G.
Since 2001, Le DIKTAT's music has been nourishing itself with various
references to be found in the spheres of music, politics as well as urban
visual arts. Deeply influenced by the Industrial, Hip Hop, Ambiant and Noise
scenes, LE DIKTAT follows the footsteps of bands such as Scorn, Dalk, Techno
animal, 2nd Gen, or Consolidated. After a much remarked first apperance on a
Mexican compilation by RAID Music, in 2005 French label KUBERNOISE publishes
LE DIKTAT's first album''2+2=5'', including remixes by Cdrik -Axiome,
Kirdec, etc- and Communication Zro.

This critically acclaimed debut album finds its artistic and political
origin in George Orwell's masterpiece 1984 of which it is, somehow, a kind
of musical variation. In concert, of course, the DIKTAT can express the full
range of its musical possibilities: LE DIKTAT's hypnotising stage
performances are a groovy mix of atmospheric soundscapes and thunderous
rhythms that have led the duo to produce itself on accasion of various
electronic music festivals in France and abroad.

14 tracks including a collaboration with country mates PUNISH YOURSELF, and
remixes by TEN DATA KESHIN, LETAL ATARAXIA, and SONIC AREA.

STANDEG - "ultrahightechviolet" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Bjrn and Sven Jnemann, aka Standeg, are no strangers to the
electro-industrial world. Having been involved in early incarnations of
Haujobb, the Jnemanns helped craft early Haujobb hits such as Homes and
Gardens and Eye Over You and participated in the recordings of the classic
albums Homes and Gardens and Freeze Frame Reality. A few years ago, the
ground-breaking label Dependent Records placed Standeg songs on their
influential Septic compilations, creating a buzz around Standeg
unprecidented given the duos small output.

UltraHighTechViolet is one of those releases that come along every few years
to sweep us off our feet. Following in the tradition pioneered by the likes
of Lassigue Bendthaus and X Marks the Pedwalk, and continued by Haujobb,
Forma Tadre, and in more recent years Seabound and Headscan, the music of
Standeg is cerebral, unique, and challenging. Tracks like 25 Hours grab you
right away with pulsating rhythms and catchy synthlines, while the slow
brooding groove of Further Dose is perfect for a lazy afternoon and is as
psychedelic as it is industrial. The album also includes a special exclusive
version of the Haujobb classic Homes & Gardens, a song that Standeg helped
to write.

Unique in their sound but following in the tradition of a long history of
excellent electronic-industrial, Standegs music is a significant and
surprising addition to your collection.

MASSIV IN MENSCH - "meanwhile back in the jungle" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After four studio albums, several digital-only singles, and a contribution
to Artoffacts Uturn series, Massiv in Mensch turn up the heat on Meanwhile
Back in the Jungle, their fifth and wildest release to date. Without
question, what we have here is the zaniest, most psychedelic, and hardest to
describe collection of techno-tongue-in-cheekiness that you will ever have
the happy luck to position in your CD playeror slide onto your iPod.
Featuring what is already a worldwide club-hit, the magic collaboration
between Massiv in Mensch and Mind.A.In.Box on Supermassive Gravity,
Meanwhile Back in the Jungle dangles its goods and keeps you lured in.
Massiv in Mensch never take themselves too seriously, and their incredible
sense of humour shows on tracks such as Pink Dream and the absolutely
essential Hou Je Bek Vuile Teef. But followers of Nietzsche might do a
double-take as Massiv in Mensch gets right into the circle of power on
Powerful (though who knows, maybe they mean the dancefloor?!), and
connoisseurs of electronic thrills and spills will bet the farm on Never
Trust The Outline and Ikonoklast! The influence of Scooter, Utah Saints,
KLF, and Beastie Boys is all over this record, as are sounds as diverse as
Apoptygma Berzerk and Ashtrayhead (remember that awesome release?). As
usual, Massiv in Mensch dive headfirst into the cauldron of chaos and never
come up for air!

ALICE IN VIDEOLAND - "she's a machine" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
One of Swedens absolutely finest bands when it comes to hard electronic pop
are finally back again with the brand new album Shes a Machine. This time
with a harder sound, developed around synthetic and organic instruments,
less guitars, more edge, more beat and better than ever!! Alice In Videoland
once again prove that their unique combination of crossover
punk-rock-electronica, saturated with fine melodic harmonies and pop
choruses stands tall, without any competition. The attitude and bombast in
Torils lead vocals is one of a kind, and this album will surely bring down
the house wherever, whenever played.

The album opens with blasting bass on the title track Shes a Machine, and
Toril lets you know right away what the score is as she chants you wouldnt
want to wait up for her And shes right! The energy is relentless as the
album progresses through instant hits MF, the new single Numb, and the
playful Whos That Boy. Toril gets down and dirty on Weird Desire, and the
album ends with three bonus tracks not available on the digital version:
Open Your Eyes, Numb (Single Edit), and We Are Rebels (Single Edit). Fans of
Alice in Videoland will be rocked hard by the new album and newbies should
be prepared to be knocked over by one of the coolest acts on the scene
today.

23DB RECORDS
-----------------
BURIKUSU!!! - "2080" (CD) (23DB) ($13.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
23db Records is proud to announce the release of the debut album by Swedish
duo Burikusu!!! entitled 2080. Burikusu!!! is the brainchild of Claes
Johanson (creator of the critically acclaimed Vember Audio Surge softsynth
and DSP programmer for Ableton Live) and vocalist/lyricist Timothy Nilsson.
Musically, the band is a highly technical mix of stuttering rhythms,
haunting melodies, and severely manipulated vocals, all the while fearlessly
melding elements of IDM, synthpop, hip-hop, experimental, and even straight
up pop. The result is an astonishing melange of futuristic beats and
forward-thinking programming that gracefully leaps over the cutting edge and
bravely forges ahead into previously uncharted terrirtories. Few debuts in
recent memory have displayed such staggering originality and technological
wizardry while maintaining a sense of melody and accessibility, and dare we
say it... fun. Will appeal to fans of: Modeselektor, Prefuse 73, Kid606,
Haujobb, Headscan, Krazy Baldhead, Lassigue Bendthaus/Atom, Beefcake,
Gridlock, and other punishers of CPUs everywhere!

MACHINEKUNT RECORDS
------------------------
EXPERIMENT HAYWIRE - "annihilation chic" (CD) (MACHINEKUNT) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Experiment Haywire started in late 2004, destined to explore chaos in a way
that went beyond what had unfortunately become typical. As an avid listener
and DJ of electronic, punk, industrial, and noise music (Deconstructed,
QXT's Diva Weekend, Abstraction, etc.) it was only a matter of time before
Rachel gave birth to her own musical explosion. Experiment Haywire would
express themes of political dissent, female empowerment, war, (internal and
external) torture, insanity, contradictory aesthetics, the devaluing of the
human condition, and a post-apocalyptic future in this game called life.
Released on machineKUNT!

TYMPANIK AUDIO
-----------------------
ESA - "the sea and the silence" (CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO) ($12.00)

Following ESAs debut album Devotion, Discipline, and Desire as well
as this years encompassing 2nd album How Pure Would Your Utopia Be?
on Hive Records, ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) returns with an
enormous new album on Tympanik Audio titled The Sea & The Silence.

11 tracks of pure Industrial adrenaline, marked carefully by strong,
complex atmospheres and dense, apocalyptic beats, The Sea & The Silence
is a monster of an album, proclaiming two powerful elements, as the title
suggests, with no apparent apologies to its potential victims.

With tracks ranging from dancefloor-mopping hard electronics to complex
and modern tribal excursions, The Sea & The Silence takes the ESA sound
even further into intense and engaging terrains.

Asserting heavy walls of bass-driven rhythms, vast levels of
dynamism, commanding vocal stabbings, and intricately woven versatility,
this new collection of impressive rhythmic Industrial promises to be ESAs
finest hour.

BROKEN FABIOLA - "severed" (CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The new full-length album by Broken Fabiola, titled Severed, marks their
return from hibernation since the release of their double CD collection
in 2005 on Auricle Media.

Written and produced over a period of 3 years between Seattle and
Los Angeles, the projects music became a personal labor of love, and the
heavily favored body of work by its celebrated producer, Karloz.M of the
Electro/Industrial act Manufactura.

With additional production and vocal talents from Sharon Blackstone as
well as additional vocals by Nissa, Broken Fabiola takes the listener into
a delicate world of tense atmospheres filled with dense, emotional
soundscapesstirred generously by a vast assortment of broken beats and
rhythmic pulses.

Drawing from a prolific pool of Dark Ambient, IDM, Tech-Step, and Rhythmic
Noise influences, Broken Fabiolas Severed delves deep into the reaches of
the mind, digging purposely into emotionally charged epics that explore
those
territories beyond internal struggle and the duality of mankind.

With a monument of prolific soundscapes to reveal, Severed manages to peer
through the mind of its listener, setting aside conventional aural
stimulation, and instead uncovers the darker and more contemplative regions
of this fantastic human organ.

Featuring collaborations from some very special guest artists such as
Shane Talada (Marching Dynamics / The Operative), Daniel
Myer(Architect/Haujobb), Scott Sturgis (Converter) and Dre Robinson
(Databomb / Download),
Severed promises to be an intense and memorable journey indeed.

TAPAGE - "the institute of random events" (CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO)($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tapage began as an axe-grinder for a short-lived metal/hip-hop band in
the Netherlands. He soon departed from his roots when introduced to tracker
programming and began developing electronic beats and fusing guitar with
synthetic sounds. It wasnt long before Tapage started formulating his own
style, experimenting with the vast possibilities of electronic sound
manipulation.

Inspired by IDM and Breakcore legends like Venetian Snares, Gridlock, and

ELECTRO SYNTHETIC REBELLION - "post-industrial" (CD) (DSBP) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
With his fifth album entitled "Post Industrial", Vince Pujol/ESR takes us
for a trip through the ruins of this collapsing world. Taking roots in the
pure electro/industrial style, with old school influences apparent through
complex soundscapes, captivating synthlines, powerful percussive sounds and
dark distorted vocals. 14 tracks included here, with a cover of Depeche
Modes classic "everything counts"! and a quality one at that! Over 73
minutes of Album, which is basically a Double album in these days of 35
minute album CD's!!!

Most of the songs express the multiple facets of a failing system as a
desperate warning. The result is a solid production featuring new hits and
great songs such as "Cyberthief","World Domination", "Gone", "Tinnitus"or
"Post Industrial" to name a few. This album definately contains a nice
variety of Club dance tracks!

ELECTRO SYNTHETIC REBELLION immediately reminds you of classic recordings
FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY,DECODED FEEDBACK, INFORMATIK and FRONT 242, but Vincent
Pujol is also trying to bring in the known Old school sound and with some
fresh ideas.

In summary, This new CD is a strong, cohesive, integrated, the spirit of
true industrial work of European quality. ELECTRO SYNTHETIC REBELLION should
please the people who actively listen to industrial and EBM in the 1990's,
because the roots of Post-Industrial grow from there.

Lens Records is very proud to work with BEE HAT CH again for their second
release of 2008, "Brood." Their self-titled debut, released in April 2008,
was hailed as a "killer" capable of "surpassing all trends and musical
phases" and a "totally wonderful aural experience." BEEHAT CH started work
on Brood just weeks after the release of their debut CD. Not surprisingly,
Brood refines the "fully fledged sonic odyssey" of their debut and presents
11 tracks that see the band continuing to expand, explore and experiment
with their unique fingerprint.

"Brood is like the dust that blows through the evening desert." - David
Flick

GASR - "reptile" (CD) (NILAIHAH) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GASR are back, with their stunning sophomore release!
Imagine 'Survival of the Fittest' amped up, polished and mixed with heavy
doses of political angst. A polemic with teeth, the album steps away from
the sunny themes found on their debut, opting instead for an even gloomier,
uncomfortably intimate record meant as a provocative, thoughtful and violent
reaction to life in post-9/11 America. Once again, they combine elements of
dark Electro, Industrial, and even hints of harsh EBM without sacrificing
melody. For fans of Skinny Puppy, Flesh Field, Tear Garden, and NIN.

SPECTRALIQUID
-----------------
CARDOPUSHER - "mutant dubstep vol2"(EP-CD) (SPECTRALIQUID)(IMP)($10.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Luis Garban aka Cardopusher has been releasing a serious number of records
these past couple years for labels such as Ad Noiseam, Peace-off,
Intellectual Violence, Mirex, Cock Rock Disco & Wrong Music, Terminal Dusk
and more. Now, Cardopusher returns with a blasting new EP on Spectraliquid
Records, the sequel to "Mutant Dubstep vol.1" by UK's Ebola. What you should
expect from "Mutant Dubstep vol.2" is 3 brand new sonic tracks, evolving
around dubstep, hard electronics and breakcore explosions produced by the
mastermind himself. 100% adrenaline, killer sound production and 2
ultra-heavy remixes by Pacheko and Innasekt, this album is coming out to add
another significant moment to the ever expanding dubstep-influenced
movement. Low bass frequencies give their place to powerful melodic parts,
while at the same moment sinking to sick, rhythmic basslines and solid drum
parts. There definitely isn't so much stuff sounding that good out there so
don't hesitate to get this excellent release. Add a beautiful digipack
packaging designed by wonderful graphic designer Mario Ferer and you've got
the perfect combination at hand. Recommended.

This is the second release out of 3 in total of the "MUTANT DUBSTEP" series.

ERISIAN RECORDS
---------------------
FICTION 8 - "project phoenix" (CD) (ERISIAN) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fiction 8 returns with their strongest effort to date. A five-year layoff
shows no sign of rust. All of the ingredients are here: the classic F8 sound
on tracks like "After All", "Sometimes", and "Hegemony", as well as inspired
new directions on tracks like "We Are Machines", "A Face in the Crowd", and
"In Orbit". There isn't a bad cut on this disc; indeed, most are excellent.
This is definitely Fiction 8 at their level best.
10 tracks,and a great mix of electro/synthpop/industrial/darkwave...

VENDETTA MUSIC
-----------------
AMBASSADOR 21 - "fuck all systems" (CD) (VENDETTA) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
If you are looking for clean intelligent sound - forget it. It's impossible
to insert this belorussian duo expression into generally accepted stereotype
of exemplary life. This album deserves its name completely, it's saturated
by pure energy from the first till last minute. If you have strong
imagination about what that - AMBASSADOR21, if you know what you are waiting
for - get it. Are they more diverse? Yes. More deep? Yes. More electronic?
Yes. Have they changed? No. They are strong and sexy. Dense and noisy
electro hardcore wall of sound which can be ferocious and merciless. But
their anger always with a smile - from ambivalent ironic lyrics in Russian
and English to forceful pounding industrial kicks, brutal synth layers and
explosive broken beats seasoned by psychopathic glitches. And duel of
earfucking vocals which make their music absolutely unique. That's
AMBASSADOR21 as you have learned to like them - but harder, louder, younger.
Ultra fucking destroy.

ENGELMACHER - "birds of a feather"(CD) (ENGELMACHER/VENDETTA)($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Behind this German name hides another self-released debut of an US-based
Electro/Industrial act hailing from St. Louis, Missouri. This project
consists mainly of Michael, whos doing almost all production and vocals, and
Natalie, who does some live synth work. Engelmacher describes metaphorically
the term of population control, and this act just could enter a free slot on
the international renowned Interbreeding compilation series (Interbreeding
IX Kuru, just out while Im writing this...) of the BLC Productions label.
Now out with this first CD which presents the musically dimension somewhere
between dancefloor-compatible Electropop tunes up to pounding EBM/Dark
Electro-related tracks. Both opening tracks, Retribution and Circumstance
are harder-edged danceable Dark Electro tunes (NOT Trance-inspired
Hellektro...) with distorted, whispering-like vocals and remind strong on
some works of INFORMTIK or older EVILS TOY for sure not a bad reference.
Things get a bit smoother with some catchy Future-/Electropop-inspired works
like Bypass, Useless Gestures or Thrust. Also the vocals on this tracks are
rather clear and naturally placed, without the use of uncountable effects.
With Devotion this act proves that they can also deal with some slower and
rather creepy tunes. It has to mention that the programming abilities of
this act and the detailed worked-out synth textures are the winning points
for this production, the arrangements and sounds are well-thought and
installed. Nice artwork too, so this is one of the most promising and still
unsigned newcomer acts around. A strong recommendation to purchase this fine
item, also for some labels a quality tip to give it a try...

DEVIANT UK -"barbed wire star" (CD) (REBCO)(IMP) ($13.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SINCE MATERIALISING IN 2004, Deviant UK has established itself as a star of
the European Dark Alternative scene - proudly waving the flag for Britain.
The band unleashed the long-awaited debut album 'Barbed Wire Star' in
September 2006, spawning the anthemic club hits 'Raptured Saints' and
'Access Denied!'. Their unique sound is powerful, distinctive and instantly
accessible.

This band is defined onstage, consolidating an ever-growing fanbase with
intensive live dates including the renowned Infest [one of the few acts to
be invited to play for a second time], Nocturnal Culture Night, Whitby and
Dark City festivals among others. Their scene credentials received the royal
seal of approval in October 2006 when Deviant UK were handpicked to be
guests of the mighty VNV Nation at their unforgettable Homecoming show in
Dublin. Since then, the band have enjoyed memorable shows with The
Cruxshadows, Diary of Dreams, Rotersand and Seabound among many others. And
this is just the beginning...

decade now, with their leader, september, still at the top of his game when
it comes to fronting the assault on your synthetic senses. their dark,
moody, sexy, twisted and some might say, damright perverse music, continues

music for several years now, the band were finally snatched up by rebco
records back in september 2007. their first album on rebco entitled 'master
stroke', fusing brand new material with some older tracks with a new twist,
is now available!
14 tracks fill this CD up, with real kick ass music!

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
----------------------------
HYPOSKULL -"industrial owes us money" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
call me every name in the book. but don't count me into your carefully
selected circle of so called 'fellow brothers and sisters'. subcultural lil'
copies of the regular society which is out there. we die alone. and death is
certain. don't regard my temporary presence to your group as some
declaration. it is just a lucky or unlucky coincidence in space and time. i
do what i am supposed to do? forget it. no one knows, not even myself. if
your life is a movie i am playing a minor yet crucial part in it. passing
into your screen for 23 seconds maximum. leaving nothing more but a short
impression which will live under your skin and eventually will come out
again like that alien in this movie which crawls out of someone's chest. i
am not a messenger. don't expect my view on global warming. don't ask me to
judge. do not expect anything. i pass by in these 23 seconds like some
drive-by shooter. fast. violent. out of the blue. unexpected. my bullets
don't kill though. they mark you. or don't. if they don't, i will be some
footnote you will remember as some weird character of a freakshow. if they
do, i will be influencing your mind forever with fake images of aesthetics,
anti-fashionable audio combinations just made to provoke you. i will make
you doubt about your own self. you will never be the same. you will question
the next fashion someone will try to lay upon you. you will see that your
lil' world is full of posers. fucking posers. artists that live for one
season only. hypes so big they die in the timespan of one of your own
breathings. breath deep and slow. cash is the new god. money piles up so
fast we need wings to stay above it. everybody who makes it wants to double
it. you are only allowed into a group when you show enough of it. or pose
enough that you have enough of it. the new reference. measured in piles.
goods. 'style'. your new religion. 323 questions to ask a hypnoskull, and
here are just 3 of them: "do you have enough to be part of my scene ?" and
yeah, this one also: "what is your value?", and the main one: "how much am i
worth for you?". industrial owes us money. word.

guten abend meine damen und herren, are you ready for hypnoskull? like a
brick thrown into your intestines, p.stevens and collaborators ask for
attention - whether you like it or not. this mash-up of ultra-fast breaks,
straight hard-driving rhythms, oscillating sub-bass, heavy distortion,
explicit lyrics, and sampled media madness perfectly displays hypno's
perception as it is today. all this combined with his characteristic
'e-punk' attitude (clearly demonstrated in the cover of the dead kennedys
classic 'california ber alles') and at the same time he offers a blueprint
of what rhythmic noise can be today (dying circuit assaults v1), this album
makes damn sure patrick and his 21st century rat pack will get the earnings
they deserve - whether money or something different. play loud!!!

MOCTAN - "come closer" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
with 'come closer' andreas glckner joins the ant-zen racing team for a
second time - perpetuating what began years before and what was perfected
with 'suspect'. still the target moctan has set is visible: creating a
unique synthesis of atmosphere, aggression and rhythm.

after starting with the comparatively silent 'here and now', moctan
increases speed and activates the supercharger on the subsequent tracks -
making you move, just as intended. titles like 'come closer' and 'a new day'
slow down the pace for a well needed pit stop by using dark synths and
ceremonial voices which create a hypnotic trance - only to be followed by
pulsing floor burners like 'long distance runner' and 'deja vu'. after
having endured the abrasive noise attack of 'overkill' the listener will
reach the finish line with the heavily grooved remixes by asche and bipol.

once again, moctan has created a perfect balance between hard technoid dance
tracks with an industrial feel and disturbing soundscapes - all overlaid
with a multitude of unsettling, fierce samples. come closer - join the race!

KLANGSTABIL - "math and emotion" (CD)(ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
the idea of producing a concept album about chess arose in the summer of
2005 when boris may started cultivating an interest in the game to find a
way to overcome his growing mental laziness. maurizio blanco also liked the
idea of turning chess into a musical concept. chessboards and relevant
literature were aquired so as to get into to the spirit of the game.
originally, the title of this album was planned to be "mindchess". later on,
it was transformed into 'math & emotion' because this title reflects the way
klangstabil learned how to play the game. "the concept 'math & emotion'
became wider and overstepped the limits of a mere game of chess. it was
projected on interhuman behavioral patterns in the everyday game of life."
(boris may)

at the end of 2005, boris may was captivated by the idea to make a cover for
'math & emotion' in the dime novel/ghost story style of the german
"gespenster geschichten" comics. these ghost novels were pulp fiction that
was published in the 1970s and that impressed him deeply in his childhood.
after some research he was able to contact the artist who did the cover
paintings, ugurcan yce (can). boris may: "since he is not only a painter but
also a musician, we got on to the same wavelength very quickly when the
concept of 'math & emotion' was explained. i explained how the chess theme
should run through the whole album." this contradiction is visually realised
by two archetypal spirits emanating from boris may's and maurizio blanco's
bodies to fight the deadly match to the end.

the music on this album seems easily accessible, resuming the path
klangstabil has been on for years. the first impression to the expectant
listener might be undiluted dark electro-based pop, but this isn't an
inaccurate evaluation, as they call it 'klangpop'. massive synth surfaces,
pulsing sequencer patterns and intense vocals intertwined with precise
computerized drum beats add up to memorable tunes. on closer examination
oblique details become visible: elaborated rhythmical work, hidden sound
fragments and the specific tension klangstabil are well-known for - all
aided by significant lyrics in german, english and italian. the more you
engage in 'math & emotion' the more the deepness of this release will
develop - just like the seemingly simple game of chess and the game of life.

HPC - "halfbreed" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
at a very young age, the norwegian one man project hpc started creating
electronic music that ranged from danceable electronica and psytrance to
hard-/speed-/breakcore, ambient and noise. after some
experimentation and development he felt the time for a first release was
right and now 'halfbreed' has been realized. in his own words, hpc's aim is
to build an aural exposure of his personal view of life by
creating music beyond predictable schedules and clichs in electronic music.
with this debut he has perfectly accomplished what he had in mind.

hpc presents a fusion of heavy syncopated beats and pulsing low end bass,
balanced by synth textures and soundtrackish samples - inducing atmospheres
that dwell between unbridled ecstasy and subliminal
hypnosis. tracks like 'machine' and 'run' are a fine example of the
terrifying and liberating climax of rhythmic powers crescendo.

feel free to file 'halfbreed' between illbient, dubstep and darkest ambient
that has accumulated hardtech aggressiveness. with this album hpc hit the
target - and this is only the beginning...

ZELLER - "audio vandalism" (CD)(HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
audio vandalism is the first release by the young artist jb zeller who is
based in southern france. this release includes eleven tracks which were
recorded between 2005 and 2008.

zeller is effected by "all kinds of subversive music" (ranging from
breakcore and industrial music to dubstep) in such a way that he is able to
assimilates these different musical facets into his own style.
needless to say the results are unique and subversive in their own right.

audio vandalism is an aggregation of complex beat layers, deep dark bass,
distorted synth textures, ominous samples and algid ambiences that are
interwoven with atrabilious melody lines. straight forward
electro-industrial meet the complexness of breakbeats merged with whirls of
noise, captured media coverage and a hint of melancholy.

this album can be seen as a missing link between heavy, metric electronica,
straight-line jungle-core and saturnine movie soundtracks. join the audio
vandalism!

NEGATIVE GAIN PRODUCTIONS
---------------------------
ALASKA HIGHWAY - "attitudes of a difficult mind" (CD) (NGP) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the debut of this real intresting and diverse electro/synthpop/
industrial wave/ rock mixture of sound.
Originally formed in London in '93, Alaska Highway is the main realization
of moose - adding to his experiments in electronic music with the influences
of the early pioneering artists from the synthetic world.
Everyone who has heard the debut album, 'attitudes of a difficult mind',
agree that Alaska Highway can not be categorized in to any one genre as the
music goes from one extreme to another, finding a balance in between, is
often unsettling, but totally intriguing.

AUDIOTRAUMA (FRANCE)
-----------------------------------
CHRYSALIDE - "Lost In A Lost World" (CD)(AUDIOTRAUMA)(IMP) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After 2 years of hard working, Chrysalide comes back with the lost in a lost
world album. You know the kind of heavy music that scares uptight parents?
Between electro-experimental and cyber-punk, Chrysalide is uncompromising,
unforgiving, emotional, in-your-face, pure fucking Industrial act that has
the same quiet/loud technique as metal masters use.

Thematically anarchistic and decadant, manifesting indignation and raging
against the fucked-up condition of the world in the vein of the best of
punk/digicore with amazing textures and sounds. Muttering, stomping, kicking
a noisy hip-hop beat, Chrysalide music makes the psychodrama hit home.

Each track is already filled up with layers upon layers of audio collage,
abrasive squalls, squawks, and squelches, with less emphasis on the clever
explicit film samples and tortured vocals of the brothers Syco and Arco.
Angry, sad, mad, depressed, or just plain fucked up, this album is a
passionate piece blasting our commercialized human condition that transcends
the pain, turning into pure catharsis. Call it what you will, to us it is a
return to good old dirty noise-driven rock-indus.
13 BRILLIANT TRACKS!

TWINKLE -"Processing Industry" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The experience begins as soon as you put on the CD player... You better have
a good stereo system or a decent pair of headphones in order to listen to
their stuff. This is complex, challenging stuff . Something to push your
brain around and probably make you dance. They are here to battle each other
with hard hitting rhythms and beats, everything being ultra distorted. It is
very difficult to escape it. They give us a good dose of sped up, confusing
beats and mystery construction. Over the psychotic, twisted & tribal rythmic
noise are childish melodies that regenerate technologically-advanced worlds
on each track. The result is very body-oriented, in the way the beats and
the rhythms are both very danceable or trance-inductive : a deep connection
to their neo-industrial landscape, and instead of rage feels a blind
devotion to work the decks."
11 tracks includes Remixes by BRILLIANT BEAST, TEN DATA KESHIN, ACRYLIK,
CHRYSALIDE, SONIC AREA, MENTAL AGRESSION.

BAXTER LILLY - "Unsichtbare Flecken" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
From the electro scene of brussels "Baxter Lilly" is a detonating trio!
They have met together in a small street of dark and furious electro-indus.

These three protagonists borrowed from the distorded beats their disturbing
ambiance to get us to a dark and synthetic atmosphere.
A noisy trip to an indus fun fair, where the sweatinesses are black and the
clowns hostile.
9 Tracks Including remixes by SONIC AREA, and LEWSOR.

MIND NECROSIS FACTOR - "Morphogenesis" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Morphogenesis proposes an initiation trip through the cultures and the Ages,
where ancestral voices are confronted with the deafening silence of
modernity. Within this second album, Mind Necrosis Factor mixes acoustic
instruments and shooting rhythms, tribal cries and post-industrial
atmospheres. More than genesis of a new shape, this album relates the
emergence of a mind, from the obscurity of the first moments to pain
cessation. It invites us to look beyond the flesh, to feel the breath of the
hidden self inside us.
11 Tracks to Trip Out with!

TEN DATA KESHIN - "Neo Neon Generation" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
3 years after "tex*s instrument", TEN DATA KESHIN comes back with the "neo
neon generation" new album.Inspired by comics, mangas, science fiction,
video games and some chaos riot involved books. He delivers a warm massive
groovy metallic mix between different styles, from melancolic electronica to
industrial hip-hop, break-beat and cyber-punk.

It sounds hybrid, exciting and darkly futuristic, pushing it forward with an
intoxicating rush of synthesizers, electronics, political samples and
layered drum machines.

It blows all stylistic boundaries down. This music never rushes for extreme
violence, just like the way politicians act in order to muzzle citizens.
Let you seduced by a new virus that tastes like a acid candy !!!
15 Tracks Including Remixes by SONIC AREA, ZENTA, SHIZUKA, AMBASSADOR 21.

SONIC AREA - "Explore" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
3 years after "(insens)", SONIC AREA comes back with "Explore" and takes the
listener on a disturbing and involving exploratory journey to the dark
corners into an epic complex cinematographic phantasmagoria of the human
psyche. A personal organic dusty warm sound remote island universe made of
sampling, cutting, audio manipulation and collages of masterfully chosen and
assembled samples, permeated by haunting noises, minimal melodies and
impacting ethnic percussion. Everything sounds as if it has been compressed,
distorted, dipped in acid and scratched with sandpaper but with particular
attention to all frequencies of the audio spectrum. In this mysterious
whole, between electronica and industrial, things are not quite what they
seem. Lost in details, the listener is not sure anymore of what is actually
really hearing. Therefore its only for the musically mind adventurous
Imagine yourself sleeping in a lost factory built over sacred Indian burial
grounds.
10 Epic tracks to Explore....

F.Y.D. - "Defied" (CD) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyper-active industrial/hardcore duo F.Y.D. presents their brandnew album
entitled "Defied" - after couple of great shows in UK and France. It's hard,
it's raw, it's real. Everyone must have! (Includes remixes by Hecate and
Ambassador21.+ video clip) Everything on this record comes together to form
what could possibly be the perfect soundtrack to a riot possible... It is
mind-blowing. A massive wall of loud drums, slashing guitar and screams.
Each time you think you have a second to breath they come right back at you
with full force. Be afraid ! The 16 tracks that make up this startling debut
album all twist and turn at unexpected points, before usually evolving into
a maelstrom of pure, unadulurated head-fucking violence.
15 Tracks includes F.Y.D. Remixes of the Bands: INHUMATE,ANORMA, and
Remixes by AMBASADOR 21, HECATE and a Video Clip!

F.Y.D. - "Attrition" (CD-EP) (AUDIOTRAUMA) (IMP) ($10.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Attrition" is built as a single track divided in seven parts. Its slow
increasing start has to be bound directly to FYD Defied. The first album
ends with a one minute silence track called Useless, and Dogma announces the
consequences of this regain of conscience. The themes developed in Attrition
are the will to power, death confronting life, dead end society, ironic
selfishness and vulnerability. There is no way back when things have gone
too far. Reason and mind are futile because, due to its frustrations,
mankind is reduced to a furious trapped animal. FYD sounscape is made of
madness, intensity and blind realism. Growing in a world that muzzles man
implies a definite reaction when expression is possible: I will not become
what scare me. I will not allow you to stifle me. I hate you and I will yell
it out until you are deaf. I will wallop your dead body until I faint.
Things will never stop before their own limit: Fuck You, Die. Some scars can
never be healed.

V/A - NOXIOUS ART - WILL NEVER DIE!!! (DOUBLE CD in DVD CASING) (IMP)
($17.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
This new compilation album entitled "Noxious Art will never die" is a double
CD assembling 30 tracks, photos and a video. Almost every track is an
exclusive co-production between 2 projects present in one of the 2 editions
of the Noxious Art Festival, organized in France in June 2004 and 2005.

Facing the financial failure of the 2005 edition jeopardizing the organizing
associations, artists mobilized, for they were aware of the intense efforts
required to organize this exceptional - and therefore hazardous - event
twice.

The mobilization led to the idea of this compilation. We are proud to
present a rich, varied and high-quality music production gathering about 50
musicians but also to affirm that this festival "will never die" for there
is now a digital medium to embody the Noxious spirit. Added to that there is
every indication that the eagerly awaited 3rd edition we weren't able to
organize this year will take place eventually. The whole amount of the
sale's profits will be used to pay back the debt of the previous Noxious Art
Festivals and of course to finance the next edition.

LUCIDSTATIC offers his fiery debut album Gravedigger on the prolific U.S.
label Tympanik Audio. A fierce hybrid of Breakcore, Powernoise, and classic
Industrial elements, LUCIDSTATIC is by no means an imitator, but rather an

Unter Null, Otto Von Schirach, Unter Null, Zentriert ins Antlitz, Diverje,
Autoclav1.1, Totakeke, and many others, LUCIDSTATIC lays claim to his

artwork under the alias Anti/Matter, Morton has more than earned his place

AUTOCLAV 1.1- "Love No Longer Lives Here"(CD) (TYMPANIK) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fusing huge orchestral compositions and IDM with flashes of Industrial and
modern Electronica, Autoclav1.1 is quickly gaining a reputation for pulling
on the deepest of human emotions with a variety of melodies and real-time
instrumentation frequently torn apart by paranoid beatwork and broken
rhythmical structures.

On Love no Longer Lives Here, his third and latest studio album and first
for rising US label Tympanik Audio, Young changes the goal posts once more
and treads some new waters without forgetting his roots. More emphasis has
been placed on heart rendering piano sections and soul capturing melodies.
The introduction of more organic instruments are thrown into the mix with a
splash of guitars and affectionate nods to other musical genres which add a
new dimension altogether, displaying a maturity and growth that we have come
to expect with each Autoclav1.1 release. The album includes guest
appearances from Jamie of ESA (Electronic Substance Abuse) and Dave from
Cradle of Filth, and highlights Autoclav1.1s diversity and willingness to
work within different musical scopes.

Love no Longer Lives Here is a dark and brooding creature, overshadowed by
moments of hope, that studies the modern human condition; a concept album
that exposes the very essence of existence as it is today.

All is black, all is white. There is no grey or in between
Prepare to be initiated

NOISE PLUS
-------------------
COLLIDE - "two headed monster" (CD) (NOISE PLUS) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Collide return once again...luring you into their deep dark smoky den.
As usual, you are never quite sure what to expect from Collide, but you
can be sure it will be good. Recognized as giants in the darkwave/industrial
genre, the fiercely independent Collide continue on their own path to make
music on their own terms.
Two Headed Monster hits with a slam. The alchemical blend that they concoct
feels dark and surreal, sensual and twisted...a pure delight for
the senses. Your body and soul suspended, you are absorbed into their world.
It's not a bad place to be, in fact, you may want to exist there forever.

The release of Two Headed Monster is their fourth full-length release, the
culmination of three years of activity, during which time kaRIN and Statik
took time out to collaborate with Dean Garcia of Curve. Under the name
The Secret Meeting, they released a full-length album called Ultrashiver
which was an intoxicating ride that took on a life of its own and met with
overwhelming critical success.

With the release of Two Headed Monster, the pair once again have managed to
forge their own path. There's plenty of evidence here that the years of
collaboration and exploration have altered Collide and thrown open their
sound as they continue to evolve. As you'll hear, Two Headed Monster is
anything but insular. Danny Carey of Tool makes a return engagement adding
his thunderous drums to four tracks and Dean Garcia from Curve also lends
his bass to one of the songs. Elsewhere, the members of the Collide live
band (Rogerio Silva, Kai Kurosawa, Scott Landes, and Chaz Pease) contribute
distorted six-string, bass guitar, and more drums.

**Each of the first 5 orders get a FREE SIGNED POSTER from the Band

BAK XIII - "Morituri Te Salutant" (CD) (URGENCE DISK)(IMP) ($14.00)

80's electro pop, industrial, guitars in some spots, and some other special
ingredients

meaningful, politically/socially aware anthems such as "video star killed
my radio" , "things will never change", "weak" and fun dance tracks "disco
armageddon" and "dance and die"..this band mixes the best of the old with
the new in a really cool way. Try it, love it...

BAK XIII - "Vae Victis" (CD) (URGENCE DISK) (IMP) ($14.00)

BAK XIII - "Ultima Ratio regum"(CD) (URGENCE DISK) (IMP) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

reflections to our society. It's a strong weapon of mass party, an artistic
bomb, a sing a long ode to the end of a certain world. Still melodic, strong
and different... this is BAK XIII!

VENDETTA MUSIC
----------------------
SAM -"destruction unit" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Review By VM. on www.side-line.com/
If you overlooked SAMs unstoppable debut in 2006, never fear the
trance-noise engineers are back with this instrumental, non-stop juggernaut.
Rife with sampled airs of righteous crusader mania, Arm of Justice is
certainly one titan that wont be overlooked; it ravenously gnashes its bass
teeth, chewing through typewriter stutters as it rollicks between caustic
crunch and slippery synth lines. Doubling their pace, Burn spews forth a
machine-gun rattle of rhythm that combats sandpaper waves, clinical computer
twitters, and deft movie sample hooks. Additionally, theres World Of Shit,
Endkampf, Ism Inc., Eating Glass all of these shouldnt be discounted as
being in any way inferior. Curtailing this electronic assault, some of SAMs
talented contemporaries present some hard-hitting remixes. Amongst lightning
rave arpeggios, Reapers remix of Training adds fifty tons of emphasis to its
bass thump, while Xotox transform Burn into a galloping monster of strobing
rhythms and insectile computer chatter. From beginning to end, its an album
begging for club play, and one that anyone who is a fan of this style should
have in their collection.

NACHTMAHR -"feuer frei!" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"I only have one interest: i dont care if you live or die: I just wanna see
you dance !"

This is the motto that made Thomas Rainer create his new musical project
NACHTMAHR in 2007. After the Austrian artist has achieved worldwide chart
breaking success with his other projects LAME IMMORTELLE and SIECHTUM in the
past 11 years, he returns to his roots: the boiling dancefloors of
industrial and goth clubs alike

Inspired by numerous years of Djing NACHTMAHR> is the missing link between
merciless and provocative Industrial and the hammering power of Techno. The
first release Kunst ist Krieg (=art is war) and its club hit BoomBoomBoom
instantly conquer the dancefloors and earn the band a slot on the soundtrack
of the American block-buster movie SAW 4

NACHTMAHR is much more than aggressive music for outcasts. Its militant
image and in-your-face lyrics might seem provocative in the first place, but
as you dive deeper into the dark and sinister world of the Austrian project
you discover the approaches towards modern society and its sicknesses. Even
on the dancefloor there is room to think about all our daily nightmares.

With the release of the full-length album Feuer frei! the success of the EP
was exceeded by far: Germanys biggest and most influential dark music
magazine ORKUS quoted: This is the new standard for the electro industrial
genre and the club single Katharsis dominated the clubs for months which
helped the album to stay in the top 10 of the German alternative charts for
more than 6 weeks.

A lot more is planned, as for NACHTMAHR there is only one way: world
domination or demise!

XOTOX - "hyperactive...the best of" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)

merciless noise-attacks. This 'Best of Collection' features all of the
Industrial club stompers, including "Eisenkiller", "Industrial Madness",
"[Xo]toxic" and "Winterblut (feat. X-Fusion)". 17 floor-fillers in all.

MONO AMINE - "industrial thought patterns" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC)($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industrial Thought Patterns' is the first album released by Mono-Amine on
Vendetta Music. You can expect 8 long hypnotizing, distorted, layered and
hard driving tracks with the fresh, original and powerful Mono-Amine
signature sound. Industrial Thought Patterns is an highly energetic edgy
fusion of pure energy, aggression and emotion. The style can be described as
?no nonsense, no compromise? raw power noise with industrial-hardcore, IDM
and Teknoid influences.

Unlike average overproduced fluffy albums, Industrial Thought Patterns will
hit you pure and raw, straight in the face, body and soul. It should be
played at high volume, preferably in a residential area.

BRAIN LEISURE - "methods to madness" (Double CD) (VENDETTA) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1994, Hard Records released Brain Leisure's critically-acclaimed debut
"Mindfire". Recognized for its intricate, multi-layered programming and
excellent songwriting, the album features the instant club hits "Teknology",
"Million Faces", "Deadful Hate", "Never Trust A Smile" & Beyond the Limits.
Brain Leisure's amazing remixes for Wumpscut have propelled the band to the
forefront of the alternative electronic scene, with legions of rivetheads
anxiously awaiting new material.
Plagued by personal problems, Dominique was forced to retreat from the
scene only to return stronger than ever! In 2006, Brain Leisure has staged a
remarkable comeback and contributed amazing remixes to Tyske Ludder "Sojus"
and Grandchaos "In Sedens" DCD. The two tracks offer some promising glimpses
of what's yet to come. Electro Aggression Records/Vendetta Music is proud to
announce the release of Brain Leisure's much- anticipated second album,
"Methods to Madness". Gems such as "Defect", "Crawl In Vain", "Resistance",
"Behind the Mask" and "My Punishment" are going to take the electro scene by
storm! The limited edition double CD features updated versions of "Never
Trust A Smile", "Beyond the Limits" and "Deadful Hate" as well as remixes by

KIFOTH - "acerbity torrent" (CD) (VENDETTA MUSIC) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
n spring 1993, K-head (composing, programming, sampling and acoustic
performance) joined forces with Mir Colon (lyrics, vocals, sampling and
programming) to form KNEEL IN FRONT OF THE EXECUTIONER. They made their
first live appearance in March 1995, and released their first live-tape
"First Time Public" a few weeks later.

In 1996, KIFOTH released their demo debut "Civilizative Collapse" and it was
shortly followed by their second and last demo album "Ebola"(which was
re-released by Vuz Records in 1994 to mark the band's 10th anniversary
celebration). The overwhelmingly positive reviews have prompted KIFOTH to
start recording their first official album.

"Spectaclebreakers" was released in early 1999 on Slovak label Front Music,
and licensed to Germany's powerhouse electronic indie label Out of Line. A
few months later, KIFOTH toured middle Europe with Hocico and made their
debut appearance at Wave Gothic Treffen. In 2001, the band released their
second album "Fundamentum Divisionis" and toured extensively throughout
Europe.

In 2002, KIFOTH's career was put on hold due to Mir Colon's tragic car
accident. After an agonizingly long hiatus, the band is set to return with a
vengeance! "Acerbity Torrent" offers over 70 minutes of relentless
electronic assault, perfectly blending the purest elements of old school
EBM, authentic dark elektro and technoid beats. Gems such as "Proper
Behavior", "Candle", and "Tyranny" will stir up the attention of young
electro fans and bring back a flood of memories to anyone who actually lived
through the glory days of old school electro. The album also features an
infectious remix of "Proper Behavior" by the rising neo-old school act,
Severe Illusion.

18 tracks in all! All female vocals, dark, hard, dancey, and powerful!

EXPERIMENT HAYWIRE -"annihilation chic" (CD) (MACHINEKUNT) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Experiment Haywire expresses themes of political dissent, female
empowerment, war, (internal and external) torture, insanity, contradictory
aesthetics, the devaluing of the human condition, and a post-apocalyptic
future in this game called life. While EH was originally an avant-garde
noise project based on desolate field recordings at weird hours of the
morning (banging, stomping, smashing, kicking, screaming, scrap metal,
railroads, broken glass, metal fences, generators, etc.) it soon turned into
a rhythmic industrial invasion that incorporated these elements into the
harsh and abrasive sound of an electronic punk assault.
The new album features 11 tracks which will kick your ass and leave
you wanting more!Remixes from XP8, AMBASSADOR 21, KALTE FARBEN and
CAUSTIC!!

knobs and creating a very groovy form of IDM for 10 years now.

mix from track to track makes this some groovy house party
music, and shows some good form and diversity.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY) (limited quantities)
--------------------------------------------------
VON MAGNET - "ni prdateur ni proie " (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
von magnet dreams of the existence of other possible paths; thin and minute.
those tightrope walking paths almost invisible. bouncing in between two
perils, two poles, above empires, across frames, which can slip through the
breaches of any walls. that is the story of this album. when rage is
accompanied by tears. this album is our reaction facing the brutal reality
of our world today. a world under pressure where all is put into opposition,
where everything would like to divide us and where we are being arbitrarily
dictated the absolute necessity of a choice. but with "ni prdateur ni proie"
(neither predator nor prey) we will not choose our side.
there between partial / impartial, north / south, subjective / objective,
orient / occident, coward / hero, poor / rich, indifferent / partisan ... we
will remain bare handed, like astonished and turbulent children dancing on a
mine field. we will just stare at you, we will fall into rage and boil into
tears. within this emotional turmoil, flore magnet and the turkish actress
esra bezen bilgin replace women where they are never welcome. women of
multiplicity, violence, engagement and resistance. phil von gives way to the
voices of the rom kids of mostar and the jewish and palestinian actors from
amos gitai and hany abu-assad movies.
at their side, def sharpens his analogue bass lines and darkens
atmospherical ambiances which often feel like "war". scattered explosions,
shots, crackles, complaints or laments. only our guest, kurdish sufi
musician mbin dunen softens the crawling tension. his ney bringing our
clamour down to a silent light thread. now von magnet signs a harsh, raw,
urgent and poetical piece, mixed and produced flawlessly by master norscq.
another dary fusion which binds classical music flavours with oriental
rhythms, tribal percussions within neo industrial electronic soundscapes.
here orient is not any more sensual and phantasmagoric, it is rigid and
almost cold. here occident is no more sparkling and victorious, it is sad
and decadent. nevertheless "neither predator nor prey" is the length of rope
which suddenly ties them up, confronting our hearts to dive close to the
abyss.

100Blumen - "floral annihilation" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT)($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
although the electronic sound assaults seems like a long way from this
artist's punk rock roots, the inspiration from punk prophets like conflict,
discharge and crass is still of great importance to 100blumen - that is a
citizen of full age, the scrutinization of authorities, politics and
beliefs. but he does not consider his music 'political'; however track
titles and some samples can be used as thought provoking impulses - if the
listener decides to.

musically, 'floral annihilation' is a consolidated package of energetic,
percussive pieces, interlaced with many facets of electronic sounds -
repetitive, impulsive and suggestive. 100blumen focuses on a balance between
hard danceable industrial noise (characterized by the artist's own
description of 'polyrhythmic rock and roll') and lo-fi influenced less
aggressive tunes. all this is combined with a 100blumen / loss collaboration
('pussywillow') and two remixes by p.a.l and heimstatt yipotash. this cd is
a truly fine follow up to 'in floriculture there is no law!'

The [law-rah] Collective - "inspiration" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
packaging: cd gatefold sleeve
this time the [law-rah] collective is martijn pieck and bauke van der wal.
bauke is the founder and original member of the collective, hence the first
releases were the result of his twisted mind. during the years of law-rah's
existence, he has collaborated with several people and re-evaluated the
collective nature of the project. this in turn has changed a solo project
with a weird name to a true collective of artists in both the audio and
visual arenas. martijn and bauke have known each other since 1993 and shared
many hours making music together. however, in the mid 90's both martijn and
bauke went in different directions when it came to creating electronic
music. in the autumn of 2007 the time was right and they once again started
making music together. with this release martijn has become a full member of
the collective and ideas for many future projects are already locked into
their collective minds. "it's a new collective now. so a new i ... i (me)
becomes us. after incarnation and isolation, now inspiration." (bauke van
der wal)

musically, 'inspiration' can be clearly identified as a new step in the
[law-rah] collective's exploration of their electronic microcosm. sub-bass
lines and drones interact with beautiful idm'ish melodic lines that are
complimented by pulsing beat sequences - inducing an overall majestic and
sometimes melancholic impression. this music is filled with deep, haunting
and phantasmagorial sounds that are expertly adapted to give one's fancy a
full scope of emotion. more simply put, this is a inspired journey through
two persons' past and present.

"the basics from the [law-rah] collective always was that you create your
own imaginary movie and we'll take care of the soundtrack..." (bauke van der
wal)

NEBULO - "avutma" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
avutma is the latest release by nebulo after the album kolia, two remixes
for architect and hecq, and even freely available nebulo ringtones. the
outstanding french artist thomas p. with this cd has created a closed opus
that might be seen as a concept album in which the listener has to decide
what the concept is.

nebulo's subtle approach forms a complex fictitious scenery by using
seemingly minimal resources that are more visible than ever. electronically
treated instruments like organ and piano, combined with synth layers and
modified beats generate tempers that range from surreal to melancholic or
even nearly frightening. listening to 'avutma' is like walking in a dimly
lit basement never knowing what's behind the next curve, and who or what is
actually casting these shadows on the walls...

nebulo's trademark, a connection between ambience, idm, clicks'n'cuts and
post-musique-concrte collages is presented here once again. as a reviewer
wrote: "surreal dreamscapes painted with tears and sometimes even blood" -
avutma might be the soundtrack of today's grand guignol.

----------
ANDERS MANGA - "the X's and the Eyes" (CD) (VAMPTURE) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Anders Manga has released his 5th studio album today on Vampture Records.
The album titled, Xs & The Eyes was co-produced by Isaac Glendening
(Cesium_137) from Subversive Sound Studio in Philadelphia, PA.

The first single, There Will Be Blood was released late last week to DJs in
Europe and is currently #20 on the DAC singles charts in Germany.

In describing the vibe of the new album, Anders says, The songwriting on XS
& THE EYES was approached in a diverse fashion. Its a blend of 2 of my
previous albums, One Up for the Dying and Blood Lush. Complete with some
heavy synth tracks like Trisect, Stoke the Fire and the title track, while
Fade to Black & The Only are more anthemic electronic rock.

Tour dates will start in Philadelphia when Anders will be play the popular
Draculas Ball August 30th. Other dates include the Masque & Veil Festival in
Springfield, Missouri, Atlanta HorrorFest, and Spellbound in Washington, DC.

HIVE RECORDS
----------------
PANIC LIFT - "witness to our collapse" (CD) (HIVE RECORDS) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
Absolutely essential, Panic Lifts sophomore effort after the EP Dancing
Through the Ashes is a monumental collection of songs, nearly any of which
could stand on their own as singles. With the concussive force of a runaway
supercollider, Panic Lift exploded onto the industrial music scene in 2006,
and they instantly careened to the forefront of the NYC industrial music
scene. Word of mouth and their live shows across the Northeast and
California saw the debut EP quickly sell out, leaving fans waiting in
anticipation of a full-length album. And now Hive Records is pleased to
release Witness to Our Collapse, a masterpiece of storming beats,
memory-searing hooks and flawless production.

Equally destructive on the dancefloor as it is with more reflective
listening, this album is a testament to the ideology that industrial music
can be both agressive and epic, as well as carefully crafted. The
songwriting transcends the repetitive, predictable cliches of current
cookie-cutter releases in the hard electronic scene and proves that the
future of industrial music is here, and its going to kick you right in the
fucking face.

Pounding, chestplate-stomping beats and pulsing throbs of bass send
convulsions through your body, while the razorwire synth lines and emotive
fragments of piano and guitar pull a wicked smile across your face.
Featuring more than a couple of surprises, this is not an album to be
missed, and will set the bar irretrievably high for other acts in the EBM
and electro-industrial scene!

genCAB - "II transmuter" (CD) (HIVE RECORDS) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defying and redefining the conventions of electronic music, genCAB presents
his explosive, brilliant debut on Hive Records, II transMuter. Flawlessly
meshing glass-sharp shards of glitchy industrial aggression with delicate
melody and painfully personal vocals, genCAB reconfigures fragments of
trance, EBM, and distorted IDM into a whole new genre.

II transMuter is the new evolution of industrial music, a rewired and
genetically enhanced archetype that gives a nod towards forbears such as
Gridlock, NCC and Haujobb, then fiercely breaks free from all points of
reference, spraying a swarm of chest-kicking rhythm and complex electronics
in all directions. But this album is also a meshwork of emotions and
synthetics, a liquid amalgamation of torn-open human emotion, brutally
honest lyrics, and a shrieking heart at the center of it all. Reconfiguring
the tired mechanics and flawed engineering of modern industrial music, II
transMuter is a new breed of divergent electronic dance music and an
absolutely stunning debut by genCAB.

COHAAGHEN
--------------
GANYMEDE -"operation ganymede" (CD) (COHAAGEN) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
After four years in the studio tweaking every blip and bleep, Ganymede
returns with its first album of original electropop since 2003's highly
acclaimed "Space and Time." This time, Patrick Runkle and David Friede
invite the listener to join them on "Operation Ganymede," a retro-electro
voyage into deep space and back. The beats are solid, the basslines are
subatomic, and the synth leads are sumptuous as the boys tell the story of a
doomed U.S.-Soviet joint mission to Jupiter. Coming along for the ride is
Bay Area disco legend Paul Parker, whose 1 Billboard dance smashes "Right on
Target" and "One Look Was Enough" are as fresh today as ever. Paul
contributes lead vocals to an instant Ganymede classic, the Italo
disco-flavored "Perfect Target." Other standout tracks on the album include
the pulse-pounding "Deeds Not Words," the epic closing track "The Final
Mission" and the ballad "Love Is Not The End." Don't miss the fantastic
journey, and be sure to pick up your copy today. The first edition of
"Operation Ganymede" comes in a metallic-printed Digipak designed by noted
L.A. artist Jesse Vital.

SPECTRALIQUID (GREECE)
------------------------------
EBOLA -"mutant dubstep vol.1"(EP-CD) (IMPORT) (SPECTRALIQUID)($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
UK based Ben Hudson aka EBOLA delivers a powerful, complicated yet wisely
minimal and absolutely danceable new CD-EP to be released July 2008 on
Spectraliquid. Known for his unique sound engineering skills and his extreme
live performances alongside the likes of Venetian Snares, The Bug, Scorn and
many more, Ebola is back with another great album. Previously releasing on
labels like Mutant Sniper, Sublight, Noize:tek and Wrong Music his "broken"
musical style is varied, with definite grime, dubstep, gabba and breakcore
influences. Richard Devine had to say about his latest album: Ebola's new
"On a Gastro-Bass Tip" e.p. is a incredibly wicked ride. Intense, broken
dubstep/IDM/Experimental Madness. I have been playing it constantly in my
car now for 2 weeks!!!! The track "Girlfriend Trouble" is going to be a
dance floor hit!"

What you should expect from "Mutant Dubstep vol.1" is two incredible
dubstep-influenced tracks with a strong touch of IDM and their respective
remixes by END.USER and SHITMAT! Heavy basslines, highly energetic tunes,
all gone through an amazing sound production and presented in a beautiful
digipack package, this album will blow up your minds. An absolute dancefloor
killer! Not to be missed.

ROUGHHAUSEN - "the agony of the beat" (CD) (TINDERBOX)(IMPORT)($13.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roughhausen aka Jeff Stoddard started out playing guitar in local punk rock
bands in British Columbia Canada and then relocated to Vancouver. It was
during that time he met up with and eventually formed a band, with Rhys
Fulber, Chris Peterson and John McRae. That band, Will, released two full
length albums on the U.K. based label Third Mind Records. Both albums were
well received and spawned the minor club hit, "Father Forgive". During this
time he also hooked up with legendary EBM powerhouse Front Line Assembly to
play guitar on their seminal L.P,"Caustic Grip", shredding his way through
the major EBM classic "Provision". He then moved into Skinny Puppy's
Subconscious studios for 2 years, where he Chris and John wrote and recorded
the first Decree record "Wake of Devastation"

Roughhausen is the project from which he explores all the faucets of
electronic music that still excite him; industrial, power noize, EBM, Drum n
Bass, break-core and hard-core techno. Seamlessly wandering between these
palettes looks easy when you hear the results. "Stoddard's material has a
commonality that binds it all together like a tether ; a rope from which he
dangles above the abyss and casts abandon aside to embrace the purity of
unfettered expression".

Roughhausen is an angry social and political commentary, not just another
rivethead no brainer. It is angry and yet passionate and hopeful at the same
time; within its confines Jeff explores the social, religious and economic
forces that shape our world, and he makes pounding, stompy beats that will
shake your ass and vibrate your walls.
The Agony of the BeaT wants to kick your ass and spank your monkey!

DER DRAKOS -"blood to blood" (CD) (DER DRAKOS)(IMPORT) ($13.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
After a long anticipated 2 year wait, DerDrakos is back again with Blood To
Blood. Deciding not to hear the samples put up on their official myspace, I
decided to wait for the album to arrive, so not to torment me any more than
I was already; I'm glad I waited - Blood To Blood excells beyond
imagination.
First the technicals: where their last album, Lust For Chaos was harsh,
choppy and erradic in sound, Blood To Blood is a smoother production, making
a smooth transition track to track. The vocals are stronger and more defined
than their previous release; and you can hear the development and growth of
them mastering their craft. Their visual concepts remain the same with the
amazing and talented Suzi Medusa back at the helm and in charge of the
graphics and design layout.
Musically, Blood To Blood is their best work to date. This father and son
duo are definate masters at what they do, and they do it damn well. There
isn't enough compositions like this out there, with the last in my mind
being Atari Teenage Riot, in the way both bands weave a harsh,
techno/industrial atmosphere with an otherworldly/ravish/underground
atmosphere. Tracks to support this theory are "European Hard Line", "La
Vipera", and "Deep In Violence". This time around, Suzi's vocals provide her
usual husky erotic blend of growling and screaming, but is more defined and
clear.
Favorite tracks off this album are "European Hard Line" with the stand out
opening line of "We are Europeans, we don't need to be good. We are devils."
"Welcome To Hell" is amazing as well with an enticing tone of voice in the
opening line.

IONIC VISION -"bitter isolation" (CD) (DSBP) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------
From their early EBM cradle of Rage against the acoustic (ION002-1997) over the extreme raw and brutal NeuMaschinen (ION006-2000), to the high tech bashing Actual (ION009-2005), they now created the perfect blend of all these earlier releases. Bitter Isolation (ION011) touches everything from their root EBM (in songs like Take Cover or Die Macht) to raw and undistinguished EBM (in songs like New Breed or Remembrance) and their high tech standard (tracks like Insects or Visions of Order). All musical aspects of what Ionic Vision stands for, still focused on Electronic Body Music in its deepest essence, can be found on Bitter Isolation.

Bitter Isolation not only reflects Ionic Visions aural past, the title of the album directly faces critics with the bands current status, feeling quite bitter in their isolated environment. As advocates of the EBM genre for years, Ionic Vision is currently the only EBM band that never ceased existing in over 16 years, struggling hard to keep the EBM genre alive ever since. In their continuous battle for recognition, Ionic Vision have always been pushed back by critics.

It is time to accept that EBM is still alive, time to lift Ionic Vision out of their bitter isolation, to acknowledge that Ionic Vision is, together with some of their ancestors, a source of inspiration for many of the current EBM movement and still to come. It is time to leave these guilty by association tags in the past and move on!

This is the special LIMITED EDITION USA VERSION with 5 Different remixes from the European release...

ARTOFFACT
----------------
PROSPERO - "Folie a Deux: The Elements and The Madness" (CD)(AOF)($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wade Anderson(aka Propspero) releases his first ARTOFFACT CD album. His
influences are everywhere and the name of the game is variety. I hear the
hammering EBM beat on The World That I See, and I remember Wade on the
dancefloor, at Savage Garden, jumping around to Grendel. I hear his smashing
cover of Malhavocs classic track Discipline complete with vocals by Jennifer
Parkin of Ayria and think could anything possibly be more Toronto? Malhavoc,
Ayria, Prospero makes an ex-pat Torontonian teary eyed!

The album opens with The Elements suite, four tracks of tribal, rhythmic,
experimental music, and that, too, is 100% Wade. Its also 100% great music,
a perfect opening to an album from one of Torontos great musicians.
Following this is The Madness, the second half of the album and a change in
musical direction that shows the dance-floor side of Prospero. Theres the
techno glitch of Techno Zombies and the fire-breathing collaboration with
Battery Cage and Terrorfakt on Let the Planet Burn that will have you
hitting repeat on your iPod. The album closes with another Toronto act: a
collaboration with It-Clings that leaves you raging against political
brutality."-Storming the Base

FOUR DIMENSIONAL NIGHTMARE -"ramblings from a troubled universe" (CD)
($10.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
This debut album from Tom Nicol is a real different and fresh approach.
A mixture of dark electronics, frenzied programming, guitar sound effects,
and occasional spoken and "out there" vocals...This album carries influences
from old school progressive, rock, and newer electronic music, and
experimentalism.Sometimes it sounds improvised and freeform, and that is
also
a cool way to go to have fun and let loose.Intresting stuff for an open
mind.
15 tracks fill this disc full of unexpected experimental/electronic
weirdness.

ANT-ZEN/ HYMEN (GERMANY)
----------------------------------
LINGOUF - "area keloza" (CD) (IMPORT) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this normandy project defines its very own universe including distinctive
burton-esque graphic works and audio releases in vinyl and cd format.
provided with the typical romanic humour and french eccentricity, lingouf
alienates those who are into 'exact' terminations and information while
contemporaneously intriguing broad-minded audio and visual art gourmets.

lingouf's first releases on the french ark-aik label might fit in the
hardcore / gabber genre, area keloza can be seen as a manifold mixage
between powerful pulsatile industrial, advanced deep tenebrous electronics
and circus-like melodies with high recognition value. imagine a comparison
with imminent, converter, somatic responses... add a slight intangible
obscurity... then you'll get a picture of what lingouf might be - or of what
he might not.

take a listen, watch lingouf's visuals on his site, submerge into an unknown
perspective of industrial arts - be caught and captivated at the same time
at the area keloza! a true journey of insanity, with a brightly-coloured
grim sense of humor.

MONOKROM- "one fine day in the pyramid" (CD) (IMPORT) (ANT-ZEN)($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
"the curse of the mummy began when many terrible events occurred after the
discovery of king tut's tomb. legend has it that anyone who dared to open
the tomb would suffer the wrath of the mummy..."

nobody knew where the rabbits went - one day they disappeared and were never
seen again. only a few documents proved they even existed. years passed.
there were rumours about a federation of ninjas overwhelming an
unpremeditated audience, but before the legend became widespread there were
more ominous tales being told: a congregation of mummies entering stages,
taking no prisoners, making eardrums bleed... all these tall tales mentioned
the same name: monokrom. after a long period of research, ant-zen obtained
an aural and visual manifestation of these bandaged beings, and it is our
duty to publicize it as a demonstration of the roughness and the savageness
of ancient times: one fine day in the pyramid...

this very special artifact, packaged in a plaster bandaged sleeve, it will
riddle scientists, musicologists and listeners for decades: a permanent
breathtaking attack of contorted, cadenced noise, challenging your audio
equipment to the highest peak. walls of grinding uproar, pulsating
frequencies and warped, unknowable voices that add up to a primordial soup
of sheer intensity. beware while listening! beware while watching! do you
believe in the curse of the mummy? we will leave that for you to decide...

warning: this compact disc includes extreme aural frequencies. listen with
extreme caution, at your own risk, and in the safety of your own pyramid
dwelling!

GINORMOUS- "at night, under artificial light" (CD) (IMPORT) (HYMEN)($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
'if i had more time, i would have written a shorter letter.' in the case of
ginormous third album on hymen records, bryan konietzko did take more time
and produced his most direct and potent musical message
to date. 'at night' is even more emotive and personal than ginormous
previous work, all while resisting self-indulgence. these eleven tracks were
objectively beaten and honed until they each became the most
condensed and vivid versions of themselves.

bryan konietzko shines his bright, 'artificial light' on the elements that
hoards of electronic music composers fear the most: melody, song structure
and brevity. the album is an intense and addictive experience, charging
forward with the nervous energy of urban, nighttime cityscapes, speeding
subways and foreboding factories. there is an organic, human element at the
center of this unrelenting journey, in the form of symphonic and acoustic
instruments and warm bass lines, balancing the bold compositions. the album
starts with 'punches to carefully coax,' a proud peacock of a track where
thick, jagged planes of ice collide with razor sharp synth strings. 'melted
circadian' bristles with a chromatically-fractal melody that spins like a
neon helix in vertigo. konietzko parades a passionate assortment of prepared
guitars with a muscular beat in the sweeping 'coiled so tightly.' the title
track confidently trudges like a phalanx of tungsten-clad shadows pursuing a
cloud of glittering insects. 'from deep bore holes' hypnotizes with an
unsettlingly lingual snare drum that tries and fails to speak, possibly
warning of the molten, rubberized synth melody that waits in the depths,
poised to scald. finally, 'awakening the magpie in all of us' sails on a
slow bonham-esque dream-beat while dozens of chimes and metallophones pull
the 43-minute album to its inevitable, timely conclusion.

JEROME CHASSAGNARD - "(f)light" (CD) (IMPORT) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
with (f)light jrme chassagnard, a member of the french project ab ovo,
presents his first solo work. he is accompanied by befriended artists like
flaque and guillaume eluerd (nimp). what can we expect
from an artist whose influences and preferences range from electronica and
ambient to pop, ethnic music and drum'n'bass? whose preferred authors are
f.e. de st. exupery, and gide, e.a. poe and ray bradbury? whose favorite
movie directors are stanley kubrick, david lynch and steven spielberg - just
to name a few? what looks like an eclectic puzzle at first glance makes
perfect sense after listening to this
outstanding album...

each track is carried by intense, emotional moods that take the listener
from warm and soothing tranquillity to disturbing and yet unknown places
with proficient subtlety. flowing ambient landscapes
based upon varied rhythms include beautiful, sometimes slightly sad melodies
- only a glimpse of the darkness behind the mirror of technology. all of
this accented with sampled acoustic instruments and
the appropriate use of voices and guitars - this album holds a perfect
balance between beat and drift.

a captivating piece of work - essential listening to all those who wish to
enter an abstract parallel world - yet, not so abstract that they'll get
lost.

FORCE OF NATURE
------------------
PERFECTION PLASTIC -"triomphe de la matiere"(CD)(FORCE OF NATURE)($11.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canadian based Tech-noize project with some classic samples in there
on top of distorted sounds, corroded beats and chaotic arrangements..
definately sounds like the new stuff on the dance floors these days and
should appeal to rhythmic noise fans who like samples and a sense of humor.

SYNNACK - "v2" (CD) (FORCE OF NATURE) ($11.00)
---------------------------------------------------------

can be used to register on synnack.com for access to additional songs
unreleased tracks, videos, discounts on additional merchandise, and more.

Hailing from deep within the mid west, US, V1rtual D3scent (V1D3) finds its
origins. The band is comprised of Erich Fate and Scott Pilz and for close

CD with a BONUS EP attached".10 original tracks/versions of EBM/ Industrial
with touches of synthpop melodies and memorable choruses.Piano and strings
blend in very well in the mix, and the vocals remind us of ASSEMBLAGE 23,
SEABOUND, and COLONY 5.

"singles"
from TELEMETRY,DJ DARKBOY, CHAINED ANTHEM, ACRYLIC SPIKE PROJECT, DJ

Cleveland's aggressive industrial band Margin of Error's first full length
cd pushes the envelope of the independent artist. Frontman Travis T.
explores the brain of the artist in this twisted journey through soundscapes

"Destroy.Create.Repeat." is Travis' philosophy through the release with
pounding drum beats, sawing guitars and ear ripping vocals that take the
listener through this vicious cycle.

Destroy.Create.Repeat. features 13 tracks and over 60 minutes of unrelenting
noise with highly anticipated visuals inside the insert. The beauty of this
release is that it is such a well crafted all-around disc.
When you're done listening to the full cd, you can then dive into the
masterpieces displayed in the cd insert itself. Not many bands put in the
time to encompass the listener fully with art. Margin of Error
is setting a new bar, and you don't want to miss it.

-----------------------------------------
PROYECTO MIRAGE - "turn it on" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
'turn it on' is the conclusion of more then ten years of progression.
lashing high-speed dance floor blasts ('cannibal party'), distorted eighties
nostalgia (6 6 5, 9), straight breakbeat excursions ('welcome to life'),
pounding four-to-the-floor industrial anthems ('salvation', a collaboration
with italian experimental/folk mastermind spiritual front), disturbing
experimental-core ('darker bex') - this album is a perfect amalgamation of
all facets of the electronic assault culture - all of which is welded
together to form a powerful statement that encompasses severity as well as
humorous wickedness - nobody expects the spanish inquisition!

this is what they are, this is where the project is today - take it or leave
it.
always keep in mind: proyecto mirage is not just an illusion but a concrete
reality!

EXOCET - "violation" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
ren klimaczewski a.k.a. klima is well-known for his collaborations with
artists like converter and architect; he also made well-approved remixes
(for displacer, for example) along with supporting young upcoming performers
like demian, rdr a.k.a. raw state and denizchador on his label kellermusik,
which started seven years ago.

by chance, on a trip to new york city in 2007, he became acquainted with
dave kean - an inspirational character and a non-musician with a twisted
mind, who left klima stunned with a multiplicity of ideas and extraordinary
creative urges. kean became the muse for a new-born named exocet and this
album is the first result of this artistic insemination.

violation holds a perfect balance between technoid complexity and industrial
roughness, spliced into a single unit by accomplished usage of
well-structured rhythmic work. fortifying bass pulses and diversified synth
chords are enriched with scattered sounds and voices, generating powerful
undertones of anxiety and threat. turning kean's guidelines into music,
klima developed a one-of-a-kind style of digital sequences and human
sentiment, defining an almost unreal post-industrial atmosphere. exocet is a
crucible of sounds resonating with power and motion, completed with a
pounding, merciless remix by u.s. electro-industrial legend manufactura - a
truly fine conclusion to a landmark in the neutral zone between electronica
and industrial.

HECQ - "night falls" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------
those who are familiar with ben lukas boysen's 5 year catalog of work will
notice an important change while listening to this album. his former
creations can be seen as explorations of different sound facets
transforming boysen's feelings into music. it took time for this artist to
subordinate the innumerable technical possibilities to become implements of
his inner self, and he already began to walk this new
path with '0000'. now, boysen qualifies 'night falls' as a turning point in
hecq's personal and musical history, and also as a conclusion of what hecq
stood for until now.

artistic expression of personal experiences are often difficult because
these experiences often block the artist's creativity. in exceptional cases
it is possible to do, one of these cases is 'night falls'. the
predominant mood of the twelve tracks which were recorded as one continuous
opus ranges from teariness and melancholy up to beauty and puissance,
unleashed by discontent, the assurance to need a change, or even a stroke of
fate.

never before has hecq's music implied such melodic and compositional
richness. comparing the music on 'night falls' with romantic classical music
seems imaginable; majestic strings interact with electronic
soundscapes to bring sentiments into being. this is a manifestation of a
person who is aware that changes happen, and that changes have to be made.
as boysen says: the sixth hecq album will be much more
different - this fifth one is the first of many new steps to follow

THE RORSCHACH GARDEN -"transfer" (CD) (BAZOOKA JOE)(IMPORT) ($14.00)

BEE HATCH- "bee hatch" (CD) (LENS RECORDS) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------
BEEHATCH is the new project from Phil Western and Mark Spybey, who met in
Vancouver, whilst playing together in Download. Ten years have elapsed since
they last worked together. During that time, Phil has released a number of
solo and collaborative albums and has continued to work as part of both
Download and platEAU (w/ cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy fame). He is also a
producer and DJ. Mark has continued to release albums as Dead Voices on Air,
Reformed Faction (a band formed with fellow Zoviet*France members) and has
collaborated with many musicians, including members of Can and Faust.

BEEHATCH was initiated as the result of a shall we make an album together
chat on the telephone. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and England via
internet file sharing Far from being an impersonal way of making music, this
technique has liberated the approach to the making of this album. Gone are
the days of being locked in an expensive and often creatively dead
studio-space. The musicians were able to make music at leisure, in familiar
environments. Phil and Mark have developed similarities in an approach to
music making but in essence, Phil emerged smiling from the generation
electronic and Mark slowly crept out of the distant days of four tracks and
homemade instruments. Both are seasoned improvisers who started life as
drummers and tend to ignore as many of the so-called rules of music making
as possible.

Nothing is clear. Everything is possible. Accidents are encouraged.

This CD is packaged in a 6-panel digipak with original artwork by Mark
Spybey. Audio mastering courtesy of Frankie Pett.

SUBHEIM -"approach" (CD) (TYMPANIK AUDIO) ($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBHEIM is the deeply personal project of electronic music composer and
visual artist Kostas K., a downtempo, experimental venture fusing IDM
elements with rich ambiance and female vocals by Katja. Complex and
uncompromising, Subheims debut album on Tympanik Audio is full of intricate
rhythms, deep reverbs, and bitcrushed sounds, combined with pianos, cellos,
and beautiful synthwork. Haunting melodies and distant voices meet complex
beats and luring atmospheres to create a unique blend of dynamics and
emotion. Approach flirts with post-rock and atmospheric downtempo styles,
while still maintaining an original sound that is both captivating and
inspirational. Moved by subjects such as urban isolation and the outburst of
mankind's deepest emotions, Subheim delivers the ideal soundtrack for those
moments of chaos or melancholy reflections. Approach is the
highly-anticipated debut album from this talented Greek artist. Featuring
remixes by Mobthrow (GR) and Flaque (GER).

COLONY 5 -"buried again" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------
While "Knives", the single released by Artoffact in December, clearly showed
a harder and stompier side to a band once hailed as futurepop,
Colony 5 show that they are no one-trick pony. The album is really varied,
highly original, and perfectly memorable. We open with a fast march
on "Ghost" which instantly breaks open into a hard dancebeat and eerie
synthline. The effect is less futurepop and more a unique blend of several
prominent styles which have captured the industrial-goth scenes in the new
millennium. Piano walks in, and we hear a touch of gothic, a bit of Deine
Lakaien and Project Pitchfork. EBM beats pick us up, throw us around, and
remind us that Hocico is here, too, especially on tracks like "Heart Attack"
and "Knives". But tracks like "Absolute Religion" or "Too Young" show the
softer more melodic and emotional side of Colony 5. The variety is
refreshing.

BLANK -"impact zone" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------
The Italian EBM duo Blank is back, and this new stuff is killer. So killer,
in fact, that we are giving away Sick And Dead, one of the many adrenaline
pumping songs you will find on Impact Zone, their second album. This album
is one of those giant shots in the air, and the near four-year wait between
this and their last album has been definitely made worthwhile. The immense
intensity of Impact Zone speaks for itself. Tracks like Persistence with its
crazy synthy hook, Counterfeit with its tight melodies and infectious
rhythm, or Puressence with new and exciting vocal styles every song is
priceless.

What has Blank been doing since 2004? Perfecting their craft. For sure. A
few shows were played, sure they remixed Unter Null, DavaNtage, XP8, Neikka
RPM, and others. They appeared on several compilations worldwide and
garnered excellent reviews, a large fan-base, and solid club-play. Mostly,
perfecting their craft. Its not good enough that you bust your body on the
dancefloor or sweat till youve soaked your shirt through. Its just not good
enough.
MORE BODY, MORE SWEAT. It is after all the Impact Zone.

MEMMMAKER-"How to Enlist in a Robot Uprising" (CD) (HIVE) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attention cadets, incoming transmission! Destruction is imminent: Memmaker
are here to destroy all human eardrums and interface with your women,
undermining earth society forever. Comprised of Guillaume Nadon and Yann
Faussurier (of Iszoloscope), Memmaker have forged a rare and explosive
compound of hard-trance, driving electro grooves, and immense industrial
beats against which mankind is utterly defenseless. Limbs will be shattered
and tossed like straw as the full force of their unstoppable sonic barrage
is unleashed upon humanity, animating those torn and smashed extremities in
a violent whirl of fists and bodies as their complete takeover of your
central nervous system compels you to MOVE. Bodies will be tossed on
concussive tremors of bass, and the screams of ecstasy and resignation will
drown in the impossibly infectious rhythms.

The only hope for survival is to assimilate into the robot ranks and take to
the streets. You are all soldiers to the cause now, and the Uprising is in
motion - the insatiable iron lust of your new mechanical rulers will be
satisfied! This robotic takeover is a cooperative venture between Hive
Records Global Noise Corporation and the Embodiment Records Woldwide Control
Apparatus. Released on Hive Records and available January 21st, 2008.

ESA- "how pure would your utopia be?" (CD) (HIVE) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------
ESA return to Hive with a brand new album of corroded dark textures, mammoth
swarming atmospheres, and industrial beats that collide with all the force
of a falling freight-elevator. Chronicling an alternate history of the Fall
from Eden, How Pure Would your Utopia be? spirals quickly into a dark,
oppressive treatise on the price of sin and the frailty of withering hope.
Through the course of the album, the sonic tension builds like a growing
cloud of ink in water, turbulent groaning waves of noise and rhythm
coalescing into a destructive storm of sound that is merciless both on the
dancefloor and with more attentive listening. The evolution in ESA's sound
from their first album, Devotion, Discipline and Denial, is unmistakable,
taking huge leaps forward in terms of both production and songwriting. A new
milestone for both ESA and Hive, How Pure Would your Utopia be? raises the
bar yet again, displaying with firm resolve that uncompromised intensity and
violent creativity are alive and well in the hard-industrial scene.

This enhanced CD features a video for the track Principals of a Paradisic
Resolve, produced by Alternative Perspective, and was mastered by Brian
Redmond at Fuzzbox. Released on Hive Records and available January 21st,
2008

FORCE OF NATURE
-----------------
FREEZE ETCH -"vessels" (CD) (F.O.N.) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------
Over four years in the making and clocking in at just over an hour --
Vessels, the first proper full-length Freeze Etch album, is a dynamic
excursion into a world of thick organic rhythms, striking melodic textures,
and surging ambient momentum. By turns sparkling and pristine and by others
ugly and smoldering, Vessels explores the brooding tensions between
dynamically opposed auras, employing textures which are at once terrestrial
and alien, as well as melodic structures which merge skilled composition
with the ambiguous flood of drone. You can check out samples and get more
information at http://www.freezeetch.com

ARTOFFACT
-------------
RUN LEVEL ZERO- "arctic noise" (CD)(ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Four years after their superb Walk The Psycho[Path] release, Run Level Zero
returns with Arctic Noise, their first release for Artoffact Records, and
the release guaranteed to cement their status as one of Europes best
industrial artists. This CD features hit after hit, introspective and
angst-filled industrial influenced by some of the genres pioneers and
swirled into a gyre that is new and exciting, fun and essential. The album
opens with the raging and Frontline Assembly-esque Black Cinder, a track
sure to convince those who think industrial is dead. Other notables include
Hitting Ground, Incision, and Hey Mister, all of which encapsulate the
essence of classics like Numb or Skinny Puppy, but surely what we have here
goes further and stands on its own.

Since their debut Run Level Zero has been an active band on the electronic
music scene, appearing on a number of compilations and remixing artists such
as Pzychobitch, Punto Omega, Clan of Xymox, and Psyche. The band has toured
Europe twice (supporting VNV Nation in 2001 and Assemblage 23 in 2005) and
recently toured the United States in 2006.

This is one of the best industrial releases to come out in years. It took
Run Level Zero as long to write and record Arctic Noise as it took them to
release their first four CDsand the result is clearly worth the wait. And,
with comparisons to Canadas own trio of industrial pioneers, its kinda cool
to find them on a Canadian label!

DIRTY ELECTRONIC
--------------------
MARK NICHOLAS -"perversions" (CD) (DIRTY ELECTRONIC) ($10.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
A great new remix album follow-up to the "duchess 33" CD...heres the lowdown
from Mark Nicholas himself....
"I feel really good about this album. And you may notice that I just
referred to it as an album. Despite this project starting out as a shorter
EP, it's now longer than my last full-length album in both time and track
count, and most of the songs are such different versions from the originals
that, when you listen to this all together, it feels competely new. (Not to
mention "Goodnight My Love" is a totally new song, and "Maniac" and "Green
California" are totally new cover songs.) I'm really very proud of this - I
think it'll particularly hit home with people (particularly old Cosmicity
fans) who were a little put off by the harder edged songs on Duchess 33.
Anyway, I'm really excited for people to hear it."

1. Two Sandwiches (Detroit Mix)
2. The Measure of Pleasure (Sad Bastard Mix)
3. Maniac (yes, that song from Flashdance)
4. I Wish I Wanted You (DJ Ginger Snapp's Mashup)
5. Coming Clean (Club Mix)
6. Backlash (8-Bit Mix)
7. Perverse (Original Demo)
8. Little Goth Girl (Ethereal Mix)
9. Selective Memory Loss (Pure and Simple Mix)
10. Goodnight My Love
11. Perverse (Syrian Remix)
12. Green California
13. Your Beautiful Lie (MN vs Cosmicity)

TYMPANIK
-----------------
TOTAKEKE - "elekatota" (CD) (TYMPANIK) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------
The brilliant new album from New York producer, Frank Mokros (Synth-etik /
Hands Productions) featuring 13 stunning tracks of complex rhythmic
Industrial. With previous remix collaborations flanking the likes of
Terrorfakt, Imminent, Radial, and Klangstabil, 2 successful releases for
Frozen Empire Media, and a radiant new track on the recent Tympanik Audio
compilation Emerging Organisms, Totakeke is back with his 2nd full-length
album that proves to be his finest work yet. From start to finish,
eLekatota manages to effortlessly merge several genres of electronic music
into one seamless body of work, without distorting the mood or veracity of
the album as a whole. Each track feels alive, constantly morphing and
shifting into new directions without the slightest loss of cohesiveness. A
masterful collage of addictive rhythms, richly-layered beats, intriguing
samples, and cavernous atmospherics, that all seem to somehow replenish
themselves with each listen. eLekatota: The Other Side of the Tracks is
timeless opus that is sure to be hailed as one of the finest Industrial
productions in years.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN
------------------
PUNCH INC. -"fight club" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------
the mercilessness of an industrial civilization is punch inc's main
influence, and they always place an emphasis on the rhythmic overkill.
fightclub: a visualization of the fate of most everyday humans: struggle for
assertiveness, combat the inner and outer predator, fight - not for the
chance of winning but for survival. fightclub: machines designed for
personal wars, emitting dense, grinding soundwalls that are wedged into
never ending beat pulses. fightclub: mankind's biggest enemy is shutdown and
here are eleven arms to make you move onward...

if this album doesn't make you roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty
then you need to check your pulse!

TZOLK'IN -"haab" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------
the musical project tzolk'in is a collaboration between empusae and flint
glass - artists who are known in the fields of dark ambient, contemporary
ritualistic tribal music and experimental electronica. this project is a
conceptual creation inspired by mayan mythology and the ancient mayan
astrological calendar of the same name. from the beginning their approach to
sound resulted in quite a few novel musical perspectives: the merging of
empusae's distinct dark, oppressive and brooding soundscapes and flint
glass's characteristic rhythmic and ambient compositions (which are
seemingly subject to an almost alien purpose and theme). the final product
is majestic and epic, often martial and bellicose, with a sense of tragedy
that at times is even quite meditative. tzolk'in can easily be viewed as an
exotic soundtrack to the phantoms of a dead civilization or more simply put,
music that is inspired by a doomed mayan divination system.

on their first self-titled release, empusae and flint glass chose eight
periods of the tzolk'in calendar and on haab' they describe eight periods of
the mayan solar year. ceremonious, deep tones merge with the power and
strength of industrial music - kept together by elaborate impulsive ritual
rhythms that enhance the atmosphere of a flourishing culture. an abyssal,
haunting cycle of tribal sound, constructed so that the listener can dive
into a bygone era

SOMATIC RESPONSES - "digital darkness" (CD) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
a new sign of life from wales - john and paul healy, well-known as somatic
responses produced a new fulltime masterpiece of electronic sound wizzardry.
almost two years have passed since giauzar and it
seems the brothers used their time not only for the explorations of new
tonal and atonal scapes, they also went for a re-analysis of their roots.the
digital darkness described here is a dry, drawn out universe of
distorted chromatic basses, straightened heavy beats and swirling filter
pulses, establishing ties from the times when the tb-303 took over technoid
music up to the nineties where speed increased and
rhythms became dodgier. stylistic classifications were never somatic
responses' aim, nevertheless, digital darkness might be rated as one of
their most straight-lined works since years - f.e. you never heard s.r.
as speedy as they are on the title track or 'reset the world'. their typical
ingredients like unique strings usage are still present ('stranded'), the
enrichment with some blasts from the past makes digital darkness a mixture
which will kick your eardrums in.

NINTHWAVE
-----------
MATINEE CLUB -"the modern LP" (CD) (NINTHWAVE) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------
From London comes this very quirky, and catchy synthpop trio
with their first album.This 12 song CD contains some
real modern synthpop with rock influence and some great remixes
as well for the dance floors.A cover of David Bowie's
"modern love" is included here for you!

CEOXIME -"theta" (CD) (UNCOILED LOOPS) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------
"Theta"is the final installment of original works of CEOXiME, an 8 year
running project of Tatiana and hEADaCHE. Their works have appeared on over
15 compilations, reviewed in over 20 magazines; and played with such notable
bands such as Pigface, Gravity Kills, gODHEAD and Mindless Faith. So if you
have had your ear to the ground, you would have heard of CEOXiME. Theta was
picked up by one of the longest running industrial labels, Invisible, and
released as MP3. Now you can have this and Vibrant Grey all on 1 CD.Trip
hop, electronica with d'n'b influence and dreamy
female vocals.

CYLAB -"satellites" (CD) (WHISPERCORE) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------

DSBP
-------
ANGELS ON ACID -"eyes behind the curtain" (CD) (DSBP) ($10.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Angels on Acid was founded by M!K!LL in early 2003 with a heavy
influence in EBM, Industrial, and Psychedelic Trance.The creative
vision was to merge all of the dark, aggressive styles of the last
20 years into a new genre of music that he calls Psybercore.

In late December of 2007 Angels on Acid became a proud member
of the DSBP Records family and re-released their first full length
album "Eyes Behind The Curtain" on the label.

The album features 13 tracks full of industrial fire and
individuality with each track having its own sound.For
the Club floors and heavy enough for the metalheads,
and rock scene to enjoy as well.
There is also a new remix included of
"leviathan"(KRI REMIXX) with a real epic dancey
psytrance feel, and a great bonus too!

ARTOFFACT
-------------
INDIVIDUAL TOTEM - "mothfly" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From the opening synths and distortions of the opening track, Individual Totems
new album Mothfly announces itself as crucial, difficult, cerebral, and
industrial. What do you do with a new single whose dance beat comes in at the
2-minute mark? If youre a label, you run away. If you really like industrial
music, on the other hand, you recognize Mothfly for what it is: an industrial
album which contorts and convinces, pulls you apart but creates an organic
whole. The synths are simply great, the atmosphere is dark and elusive, the
band asks more questions than they answer. Mothfly is often downtempo but
equally it rages. It rages in dark places, alone, with vocals unable to scream,
though screaming. Its a wonderful statement of psycho-analytic repression. The
father lost in the son, or murdered, who can tell? From the opening and
infectious WWW to the interesting and introspective In Memorial, to the Skinny
Puppy-influenced The Ugly Game, Mothfly is quintessential industrial music.

Comprising two electronic music pioneers, Bernd Madl and Mathias Knopp,
Individual Totem began making music in the early 90s and released their
home-made album, Aspects Of Theories And Reality in 1994. Following this, the
band was signed to Off Beat in Europe and Pendragon in the United States and
released two now-classic CDs: S.E.T.I. in 1996 and Mind Sculptures Flesh in
1997. Following a long hiatus and a comeback that never materialized,
Individual Totem eventually released the WWW EP digitally on Artoffact Records
in late 2007.

DEPENDENT (GERMANY)
----------------------------
DISMANTLED - "when I'm dead" (CD)(IMPORT) (DEPENDENT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In contrast to the usual dark cliches which characterize the lyrics of the
industrial scene, DISMANTLED'S lyrics take aim at more personal issues and
scene politics. Zon casts himself as something of an outsider, a detached
observer of a superficial scene doomed to slow decay. And at the end, death:
not a dramatic, romantic, epic Goth death, but an unspectacular vanishing
beneath the shroud, with a band logo hanging from the corpse's toe. Musically
and thematically, DISMANTLED follow their own path on "When I'm Dead"; and
slowly but surely, Germany is beginning to follow along. Released on Dependent
and available November 19th, 2007.

MUSIC RATION
-------------
SMP -"the treatment" (CD) (MUSIC RATION) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------
Jason Bazinet is still right on target and offers 11 new tracks with a
typically Coldwave-like content. Gritty guitar riffs, mighty drums, some
Electronica-elements, angry lyrics provided by a mostly energetic vocal
performance well, and at times also the jump to test the audience with some
Industrial-Rap-tunes."Metropolis" is one of these rather Rap-like tunes which
describes lyrically the crime and drug situations in a ghetto-like city,
available here besides the original in a remix interpretation by BOUNTE. More
stuff to entertain some masses with a huge club-compatibility can be named with
"I Waste You" or "Corporate Freak"
,a track which doesnt act sparse with social criticism. It seems generally that
several themes out of the American Way of Life get targeted by Jason,
"Tombstone", already released in advance on the A Murderous Mix
-compilation, is just another example for this. With the track "Who Is Who"
Jason also created a Rockabilly-like cover version which got originally
composed by the CA-based Punk-act THE ADOLESCENTS this one should work
extremely well at gigs. Recorded and produced by Wade Alin of CHRIST
ANALOGUE.The Treatment is an entertaining album from track 1 to 11. Although
heavily following all facets of the typically Coldwave-mood created already
more than 10 years before, diversity is in here and Jason can prove once again
his talent.(Marc Tater of Chain DLK Zine)

HYPERVOXX
------------
GRADUAL HATE -"asphyxiated world" (CD) (HYPERVOXX) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A new and intresting dark electro project from SPAIN
that makes very clear their intention of being made highlight in the converged
electronic scene and not with the help of forced "crossovers".
so in fashion lately in the electrodark scene,
if not making use of the sounds of last decade, much more,
dark and so missed .The band has an aesthetic militarist, almost apocalyptic,
replete of you chewed of gas and underground refuges, where the letters possess
a strong load politics and social accusation , social manipulation? ,
Injustice? , War? Gradual Hate
13 tracks total,over 50 minutes....

SIRENS LAMENT - "moments in solitude"(CD) (SARASVATI RECORDS)($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sirens Lament arose from the music that apears and follows me at any given
moment. It is a symphony that haunts me as I lay awake composing. It is the
lyrics that come in whispers that will now be given life."(Aradia)

Sirens Lament is the solo project of singer/song writer Aradia. At Age 7 she
began playing classical piano. Her highschool and college years were spent
singing, playing bass, and keyboards with numerous bands as well as expanding
her music training by studying the Cello, Jazz and Classical Vocals.
This 10 track album weaves between those styles above and infuses dark
Electro/Industrial, with club potential as well.
This year Aradia is also acting in an independent vampire movie called "The
Ballad of the Valkyre".

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
---------------------------------------
100BLUMEN - "in floriculture there is no law!" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
although the project's name was taken from the mao zedong quote, (which sounds
harmless at first but culminated in terribly oppressed freedom of expression)
100blumen's musical aim is not necessarily political. in his own words, music
is an articulation of emotions: "not exactly the adequate means to express
myself, but so far there is no better one available".

what you are about to hear is a sheer outburst of distorted noise, chopped
sequences and hard driving beats. an edgy fusion of energy and aggression,
rooted in the roughness of punk without any stylish teenage riot nostalgia.
essentially the sound is the power of innocent machines forced to run amok.
this is the continuation of what started with the no-fi industrial movement way
back in the eighties. music that keeps you awake. music that forces you to
think. music to make you move. let a hundred flowers bloom

TWINKLE- "le jouet" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------
what is twinkle? better ask what are twinkle, because this is a two members
project: yves cornu & j.-b. leduc from france. so far only one ep has been
released on the label/collective audiotrauma. after many concert appearances
which caused reactions that were beyond enthusiasm/ecstasy and two years after
'processing industry' the time has come for their first full length album.

le jouet's music is a unique blend of hard hitting ultra distorted
rhythms/beats constructed to stir up your brain and (probably) force you to
dance. psychotic, twisted & tribal rhythmic noise is overlayed with
unpretentious melodies and enriched with pushing vocals (complimented by a
tremendous selection of samples). music that is complex, challenging and body
oriented all at the same time. twinkle has established a style that is between
contemporary industrial, experimental soundscapes and intelligent usage of
metric varieties.

MARCHING DYNAMICS- "nailsleeper"(CD) (HYMEN) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
the path youre about to take was sculpted, paved and designed by s. talada. he
began his musical experimentations and creations in 1987. talada's musical
experience is in many styles/forms as he has worn many hats, masks and attires
(with various bands and music projects) for the last 20 years. he has worked
with cult groups (such as punk/industrial band stg as a vocalist) and a
programmer for death rock projects and as a keyboardist for kommunity fk -
talada was undoubtedly knee deep in it. he has also released several key albums
(the operative through the crunch pod & sistinas labels) and has shared the
stage with many performers in industrial and related genres. he also runs and
operates the los angeles industrial/electronic music label mechanismz. as
marching dynamics talada steps beyond his unique and varied musical endeavors.
a new force that will surprise/inspire you and will be heard for years to come.

marching dynamics astounds the listener with its intricate arrangements of
rhythms and melodic sounds. one is lost and surrounded in the subtleties that
draw you in without you realizing it. before you know
it youre covered in a most diabolically delicious and infectious groove. the
narrative nature of marching dynamics is extremely meditative and thus evokes
emotional response of wanting to dance/move
with a flow that few musical projects can create. influential inputs range from
noisy, technoid electronic, kicking classic detroit to energetic dubstep/idm
hybrids. all of which are analyzed, assimilated
and processed into a unique blend of synthesized analeptics for mind and body.

RASPUTEEN - "die segnungen der nenzeit" (CD) (BAZOOKA JOE)($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
What you are about to hear is a mixture of minimal electro pop
and eighties style sequences, with a slight splash of industrial.
Once asked about musical influences Rasputeen mentions projects
like Der Plan, Cabaret Voltaire, Max Goldt, and Palais Schaumburg.
Take this direction, add pumping sex-beats of deutsch-amerikanische
freundschaft and top everything off with a mesmerizing, distinct voice.

HOUSE MADE OF DAWN -"self titled" (CD) (ARCANE CREATIONS) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This band from Califonia has a hybrid sound of Industrial, rock,
darkwave, and electronics.A real tight and good self-production
with 9 tracks on this debut CD and they
each have a different twist to them, yet staying heavy and for
the dance floor as well.Mixing in some female vocals into the
mix with the male vocals as well.Get hooked in!

BIT RIOT RECORDS
------------------------
CYANOTIC - "transhuman 2.0" (DCD) (BITRIOTRECORDS) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Transhuman 2.0 is the Limited Edition follow up to Cyanotic's sold out
achievement Transhuman. Co produced by Jason prost of mindFluxFuneral this disc
features appearances by Front Line Assembly, 16 Volt, Acumen Nation / Dj?
Acucrack and Rabbit Junk.Top Notch production and hi-energy sounds.

MINDFLUXFUNERAL - "teatro de revelacion" (CD) (BITRIOTRECORDS) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
After nearly 10 years of producing, side projects and collaborations
mindFluxFuneral is ready to unleash the torture tekk again! "Teatro De
Revelacion" marks a return to their signature sound and a new future for the
artistic vision that is mindFluxFuneral.
the latest release from mindFluxFuneral, is a fierce rebirth of mechanized
sounds and vocals aggravated by vast media, technology and the industrial
rock/metal movement of the late 80s (Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Ministry)
mindFluxFuneral have not only reinvented the power chord with this edgy,
aggressive, electro album, they have also supplied us with our future anthems.

PHENOTRACT -"transient messages" (CD-R) (SOUVENIR RECORDS) ($10.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second official full length album
from the New York City based electronic act Phenotract. Expanding on the
groundwork of the previous album, "Within A Second", the harder tech sound
that dominated that album is taken in a different direction. Still
atmospheric and driving, and at the same time pensive and introspective,
"Transient Messages" cascades and swirls with soundtrack- type melodies,
groove- laden basslines, and both male and female vocals; all of which give
the music a comtemporary electronica "neo- pop" sound. With the addition of
a female vocalist, Niabi Caldwell, (who sings on about half of the songs
with Eric Shans) Phenotract has now fully illuminated the musical path that
was only hinted at before. Running across the contrasts of lights and darks,
tracks such as "A Million Colors" and "Dissolved In Tides" launch themselves
into the heavens, whereas songs like "Heightened" and "In Another Life"
(produced by Isaac Glendening of Cesium 137) take things more into the
subterranean world that has historically characterized Phenotract's sound.
Thematically, a lot of the album deals with communication and how often we
find a common thread that exists in the world amongst us : that it lacks
within ourselves and towards each other. Danceable, energetic music with
lots of atmosphere and mood.

ALTERCULTURE
---------------
MINDLESS FAITH -"medication for the misinformed" (CD)(ALTERCULTURE)($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the shadows of Washington DC and its criminal regime, Mindless
Faith returns with "Medication for the Misinformed" - a lethal dose of
dark electronics and industrial anthems, laced with heavy beats and
charged vocals. After years of war and campaigns of misinformation,
it is still politics as usual in the "land of the free". The media is
still for sale and the citizen-consumers are still prey to the
trappings of pop culture...an opiate of the masses who don't even
realize they're addicts. But the images on the screen are only a
placebo, if not a poison.

Against this mindless status quo, "Medication for the Misinformed" is
a musical shot in the arm and a socially-provocative slap in the face.
The sound is "all power, fury, and drive," (Shadowland) even when
elements of world music, ambient, and trance are fused into the
industrial-strength mix of noise, distorted synths, and abrasive
guitars. To the extent that such diversity crossed into schizophrenia
on previous releases, Mindless Faith have worked these different
elements into a cohesive framework and trademark sound on "Medication
for the Misinformed". Reviews are starting to come in, especially in
the German magazines where "Medication for the Misinformed" has been
called "a varied and thrilling piece of work which you should listen
through from beginning to end" (Zillo) and "a perfect mix of power and
atmospheric tightness and the most impressive Electro-Industrial
import in years. (Negatief)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the side project of the MINDLESS FAITH brothers...

a little bit of female vocals, bust mostly instrumental electronica

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 2 of the "rays of life" series with a more ambient landscape for this
one.11 tracks fill this disc with some traditional electronic ambience
and a little bit of female vocals, and very spatial, and chill tones..

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
--------------------------------
SYNAPSCAPE- "now" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------
with their sixth full length album synapscape (t.kniep and p.mnch) continue and
evolve what they started twelve years ago: powerful and versatile explorations
in sound, rhythm and ambience.

this release is unmistakably synapscape - distorted polyrhythmic beats meet
atonal synth tones, kniep's strange lyrics (coupled with his haunting alienated
voice that is offset with various effects), and constant rhythmic changes
(while the metric speed is kept). however, there is a readiness for experiments
- thus they avoid turning a trademark into a corset.

synapscape's open mindedness to the electronic art combined with their ability
to integrate characteristics of breakbeat, electronica and experimental music
results (as usual) in a fascinating, unique sonic exploration. the
possibilities are infinite as their producing was, is, and will be.
this is where they are now - another landmark in contemporary industrial music.

VROMB- "sous hypnose" (CD) (ANT-ZEN (IMPORT)($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
the music starts with straight forward (but calm) rhythmic patterns - patterns
that are in place to reach a state of trance. the music changes the same way as
the subject's perception does: rhythm is replaced with surreal ambient
soundscapes, incomprehensible voices start to talk and then a constant but
always changing flow takes over - a strange and unfamiliar experience is the
result - due to the subject's inexperience. but the experience is never
threatening as the final process of awakening is performed very carefully.
either way, the subject will immediately realize the session is over.

it matters not if you take the invitation to use 'sous hypnose' as an occasion
to start a fascinating experiment, or if you just want to enjoy the new work of
vromb; this album is a highly recommended document of today's serious
electronic music (as all of this great canadian artist's releases are).

TONIKOM- "epoch" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------
tonikom is worlds, atmospheres, a narrative. a project born out of curiousity,
creativity and a need for expressing a sound that wasnt heard, tonikom
continues to defy genres and explore various styles of electronic music.
countless influences, both sonic and visual, help tonikom perpetuate its
evolution. idm, industrial, techno, drum n bass, electro, trance, power
electronix, ambient and tribal all combine to weave tonikom's sound." (official
bio)

tonikom started as tonik in 2002, releasing several now-deleted cd-rs and
changed the name to tonikom in 2006, documented in the album title 'tonikom
killed tonik'. after two self-released albums, 'epoch' sees
the light of day on hymen records - some kind of a logical conclusion; besides
the aphex twin, meat beat manifesto, underworld, the orb and leftfield she also
names hymen records' artist beefcake as one of her
influences.'epoch' is an enthralling mixture: the melodic richness of idm meet
straight d'n'b/breakbeat rhythms, electronic and acoustic instrumentation is
enriched with well-placed sampling, sequenced patterns keep embedded ambient
soundscapes together, supplemented by power and intensity known from other
electronic sub-genres. a diversified, innovating, truly epoch-making release.

"this is electronic music that refuses to live on one planet, that flows like
its namesake into the soul and distracts from reality." (tonikom)

SNOG - "the last days of Rome" (EP,CD) (PSY-HARMONICS) ($10.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just when you thought contemporary music had nothing new and exciting to offer
here come SNOG to save the day!!!
'The Last Days of Rome' is the new SNOG single (and the first single from the
forthcoming album of the same name). Is it Leonard Cohen (with its perversely
apocalyptic lyric and delivery) or is it Public Enemy (with its slinkey hip-hop
beat and grinding guitar motif)?
Well, what it really is, is something completely new! Sliding between genres
like they slip between hot-tubs. 'The Last Days of Rome' is dark, powerful and
totally catchy, a sleek meaningful beast. Produced by The Calculators (The
Faint, Adalita and many others) and featuring the sweet voice of Mr. Royce
Doherty, the collapse of civilization has never been this groovey before!
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere is an extrordinary downtempo remix by UK
Electro legend Sir Real and three brand new tracks which will not appear on the
forthcoming album.
'The Sickness' is a collaboration with Berlin ambient beatmeister Hecq, 'The
Prisoner' a collaboration with deviant dubstepper The Nam Shub of Enki and the
authentic bluegrass number(!) The Day the Towers Fell was written for Grand Ol
Opry star Porter Wagoner.
Closing out the single is a most surprising acoustic version of The Last Days
of Rome.
Party like it's 699A.D!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------
C/A/T's Point of No Return bridges the prolific project's last 2 offerings--
The Rogue Pair and ATF-- and promptly burns that bridge to absolute hell.
Inspired by dozens of high-energy U.S. shows in the last two years with top
name acts, C/A/T's distinctive hard, addictive basslines and clever sampling
remain, but PONR now adds vocals and additional stomp appeal to club-ready
tracks, throwing out all the preconceived notions of what the project was but
simultaneously adding to its best elements in the process. Get ready for what
will inevitably considered a major step forward in the evolution of C/A/T. The
prisoner has escaped, so be ready for the onslaught, as there's no going back
now.

CERVELLO ELETTRONICO -negate the instigator"(CD)(CRUNCHPOD)($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Taken from the Italian phrase for computer that literally translates to
electronic brain, Cervello Elettronico is the electronic musical act founded by
David Christian [aka Snarf]. Influenced by 80s Industrial and 90s Electronica,
the project's inception in 2001 contributed to a new underground scene growing
in the New York City area. Several demos and self released EPs were sold and
openly distributed throughout the internet before the the act landed it's first
live show supporting Manufactura and Terrorfakt in the spring of 2004 at NYC's
legendary Albion night. Since then Cervello Elettronico has performed more than
50 live performances all over the world including The Avalon in Los Angeles,
Slimelight in London, Montreal, Mexico City, and at the Moritzbastei in
Leipzig, Germany for Planet Myer Day V. Negate The Instigator is the long
awaited debut album by Cervello Elettronico which will see its release in early
2007 on Crunch Pod. Its sound can best be described as a mix of Power Noise,
EBM, and Techno. From start to finish, different layers of sound are tied
together by heavy bass, driving rhythms, abrasive percussions, and meticulously
placed samples. This inaugural release helps define the shape of things to come
for this act and the genre.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
----------------------------
BIPOL -"ritual" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ritual is the result of two years of hard work, a mixage of electronic
tribal/triphop beats, combined with dark psychotic soundscapes, drony bass
lines and odd voice samples. bipol's music could be seen as the continuation of
industrial music before power noise took over; that is, pounding beat boxes,
irritating electro acoustic sounds and disturbing implementation of effects.
the mood is quite the same on this release - brinkert's technical skills and
ritual's production prove that this cd is a topical one. moctan's remix of
invocation demonstrates that bipol's basics work perfectly in hard
four-to-the-floor context. now, if only these two artists would combine their
abilities... but that's another story.

bipol's aim is to create a menacing sentiment of insecurity that is a result of
medial influences in our industrial civilisation. a kaleidoscope of hope,
aspiration and fear, turned into sound. from the beginning you will be trapped
in a cage of sheer intensity, unable to escape and unwilling to stop listening.
this is the soundtrack of life's dark corners. enjoy...

GJOLL -"not to lead nor to follow" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
on their second release, jhann eirksson and sigurur hararson follow the
ideological path that they began with 'way through zero'. instead of one
conceptual work divided in parts, gjll presents six tracks. the lyrics printed
in the cd booklet show this project's empathy for the individual who is able to
detach from political, religious or social necessities. even without listening
to gjll's music you can already feel the anger, the challenges of society's
excrescences, and the frustration about the way things are (and about the way
things should be).

as on the previous album, gjll transcribe their musical statements into a
process in which the listener is forced to open up. pulsing drones, mighty
synth layers, heavy sequencer patterns and disembowelling sub-basses combine
with hararson's ear-piercing vocals and the result is an unforgettable
listening experience. this project's music is hard to compare, but both
musicians are able to merge the intensity of grindcore or doom metal with
industrial's sonic variety.

LUSINE ICL - "language barrier" (CD) (HYMEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
language barrier is jeff mcilwain's first album for hymen records since his
iron city full length, released in 2002. (not including the 3" cd contribution
for the travel sickness box set or the condensed singles
compilation).
here, mcilwain explores his ambient side to a fuller extent than in any of his
previous releases. beautiful chord structures melt with excerpts from his huge
archive of field recordings. characteristic layers and
treatments are mostly kept together by a metric structure accented with subtle
rhythms. 'jetstream', for example, gets this structure from a
sample-and-hold-like-treatment - restrained, but still very sonically
detailed.

language barrier is ambient electronic music at it's best, providing a relaxed,
entrancing sentiment - music to be listened to, carefully and often.

TELEGRAMMETRY

emotional.This album should appeal to HYMEN/AD NOISEAM fans as well.Take this

In just their few short years of existence, (Combichrist) Caustic has become
one of the most iconic ironic bands in the electronic music genre. After
finishing up their playing one show and getting kicked off tour in support of
KMFDM in the fall of 2006, (Combichrist) Caustic earned even more notoriety
among fans of industrial rock who had previously never heard of them. With an
never growing army of fans, (Combichrist) Caustic is poised to release What The
Fuck Is Wrong With You People? Booze Up And Riot, their newest album in 2007.
Featuring last year's break out single, ''Get Your Body Beat The Hustle (which
technically isn't even on the main disc- it's on the ''Binge Drinking'' special
edition.),'' the album is an explosive barrage of corrosive beats, leering
vocals, and acidic melodies. WTFIWWYP? BUAR is a high energy, adrenaline
charged piece of sonic battery. If you don't find yourself sweaty, naked, out
of breath, and bleeding by the time the album is finished, you weren't
listening to the new Combichrist! (However, the new Caustic will only leave you
drunk and/or pregnant.)

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
-----------------------------

THIS MORN OMINA-"the hegira trilogy" (3CD box set) (ANT-ZEN)($40.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
the hegira trilogy (1997-2001)

interest in this trilogy has not declined even though the last musical note of
the hegira trilogy was made almost 6+ years ago and the tracks from this period
have not been played live in a very long time. perhaps it is because all three
releases were extremely limited or perhaps it is because people want to know
the origins of this morn' omina. for whatever reason, listeners now have a
chance to get acquainted with the musical history of this morn' omina.

it all started after a turbulent and extremely hot summer night (no sleep for
days because of the heat) in 1996. this morn' omina was born the next day - the
project title referred to that specific moment in time ("the morning of
omens/portents"). the search for a new 'language' began shortly afterward - a
language that consisted of nothing more than an md-player (used as a sampler!),
tape deck, bass guitar and effect pedals, lowgrade drumpads (noisy!), a gm
module and a 4-track cassette recorder). 1996 saw the production of three tape
recordings which attracted the attention of magthea (hybryds) and this resulted
in a compilation appearance (daft records). the first cd was released on old
europa cafe in 1997 (nezeru enti sebauem neterxertet)
here with you will find the entire hegira trilogy, presented in a beautiful
boxset. when the original albums were initially released,
they only caught the attention from a few insiders; now you have the
opportunity to listen to all three already deleted single albums at once,
showing the concept of the trilogy which took years to create, but also the
progression of the outstanding belgian project. a proof that all musical
characters of t.m.o. were already present right from the beginning:
ritualistic ambience, tribal beats and catching samples - a powerful symbiosis
of dark electro structures and sacred-ritual trance atmospheres.

so enjoy the upgraded version of this morn' ominas early years!

GENETIC SELECTION -"world of tomorrow" (CD)(ANT-ZEN)($14.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------
on this album, g.s. combines heavy rhythms with his interpretation of various
styles. hypnotic synth lines converge with pounding four to the floor
sequences, symphonic choirs ('epic dreams'), disturbing shattered voice samples
('a man and his droid'), and electronic ambience ('whispers in the dark'). all
of this (and more) is welded together with straight but well elaborated
drumwork (and breakbeats). in short, a varied sound journey can be found within
a "world of tomorrow". for instance, in 'brotherhood of steel', g.s. presents a
dance track with vocals that could turn a discotheque into a starlight casino.

another great album by a real starship trooper who is back to squash some more
bugs

SUBSTANTZ-T -"beyond e" (CD) (HYMEN) ($14.00) (IMPORT)
------------------------------------------------------------------
there is one trend in substanz-t's musical development and that is its
uniqueness. that is, substanz-t does not have just one sound. the chilling
ambience of tripped experiences was followed by the hip-hop
influenced electric opium; the moods may change but the vibe never will. four
years have passed, and that vibe is still within "beyond e".substanz-t has
traded electric opium's roughness for hypnotic, almost
melancholic sentiments. this album is a perfect merger of downtempo beats,
post-psychedelic electronica, driving electric bass pulses and soulful vocals.
synth lines, sequences and striking effects are kept
together by varied rhythms - which expertly balance acoustic and electronic
instrumentation. all the while, a manipulated, manipulating voice calls you...

listening to substanz-t's music is like being sucked into a black hole - you
never know what is waiting beyond... new colour. new dimension. new value

HECQ -"0000" (2CD) (HYMEN) ($14.00) (IMPORT)
----------------------------------------------------------
hecq can be seen as a phenomenon: an artist who consistently shows his amazing
skills in creating new sound, a producer that works with musical technology and
presents remixes that spotlight unseen facets in
the work of other musicians. boysen is more than an expert knob twidler; the
listener can easily hear that there is a sensitive human being operating the
controls. on 0000, atmospheric soundscapes meet
sharp cadences and abrupt breaks which leads the enthralled listener into
hecq's world - an audiobook without a narrator.

cd2 is a collection of hecq remixes and collaborations by nine different
artists (some of them yet unknown - rekt, sytrjv, phylum sinter...) and others
that are familiar (mad ep, snog, nebulo, newt, ginormous...). sounds range from
syncopated electronic surveys and threatening soundtrack ambience to a chilling
sound carpet that is accompanied by a voice that every hymen records' listener
should know...

CYANIDE REGIME -"visions of order" (CD) (GORESTORE) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cyanide Regime is the joint effort of Colombian Fernando S. and Americans
Natalie G. and Christine S. out of Miami, Florida. Their objective is the
creation of dance-oriented tracks on the vein of the new Dark Electro
Industrial. Their music, lyrics and concept depict the members interest with
geopolitics, religion, and current events even though their thematic does not
limit to those issues.This first CD release contains 12 blistering industrial
tracks with a darkened edge. Their stage persona
is filled with brutal energy and in-your-face attitude. Join the regime.

INSTANS -common ground" (CD) (IMPORT) (ADVOXYA) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------
The more EBM side of the SEVERE ILLUSION boys.Their project here is more dancey
and lots of nice analog and tweaky synth sounds, memorable
tracks that will remind you at times of S.I., and a bit more refined.
The vocals are a bit more clear on this release, yet they have the signature
sound S.I. is known for.
13 solid tracks here fill this CD with some great mix of old school electro,
and dance floor EBM.

DSBP
-------------
TAU FACTOR -"second stage ignition" (CD) (DSBP) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
TAU FACTOR is the one-man hard Electro-EBM project from the mind of Seattle, WA
musician Carsten P. Pulling influence from the dark electro greats of the early
90s, but with his own unique, modern twist. Tau Factor's sound has progressed
over a well-received release of "Prototype" on ADSR Musicwerks to the new, just
completed full-length known as Second Stage Ignition, featuring 11 new tracks
and a cover of Mentallo & The Fixer's "Inhumanities," blessed by Gary Dassing
himself. Additionally, a powerful remix from Greek EBM band PreEmptive Strike
0.1 is included, and a music video for the song Motionless, produced by
Resonance Digital Arts in Seattle.

Tau Factor's sound ranges from heavy and explosively danceable, to atmospheric
and cosmic, but at all times bringing together emotional depth with digital
hardness to create something both dark and intense, yet human and relatable.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
--------------------------------------------
AB OVO -"mouvements" (CD) (ANT-ZEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
the project's trademark of dark soundscapes and well-placed rhythms (mixed with
a soundtrack type feel) can also be found within this new work. what might be a
bit surprising though is the emphasis on rhythm; the opener 'hmisphre' f.e.
contains a straight, almost trip-hop oriented beat that demands the listener's
attention. the haunting, hypnotizing mood is still there but now it is tied to
a metric like structure that wasn't obvious in ab ovo's previous releases.
sometimes, these beats are actually just bits - as in 'inlandsis', where a
short drum & bass interference emerges for just a few seconds. well placed
samples, as in 'diaclase', enrich ab ovo's sound perfectly while not
overwhelming the electronic sequences. voices - as a sample in 'you are very
far now' or as real vocals on 'in some ways' are also more apparent than on ab
ovo's earlier works. especially judith juillerat's guest appearance which
pushes ab ovo toward a direction they are unknown for - a beautiful song which
could also attract 4ad addicts. the co-written track, 'the long tomorrow', ends
the album with a breeze of sadness and melancholy - the perfect ending for a
truly astounding album by this excellent project.

ARCHITECT - "lower lip interface" (CD)(HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
an orgy of synth-wizardry, complex rhythms and
manipulated vocals. forcing beats meet distorted sequences, overlayed
with a stunning usage of effects, interrupting breaks and acoustic
instrumentation. economically used sampling and distraction add up the
tracks, a style architect is known for since the beginning. this is
state-of-the-art electronic sound inseminated with sweat, sex and aspiration,
showing myer's ability to push a few knobs and get a highly
concentrated extract of sweat, pain and lust.

this album proves daniel myer as a sixty-minute man who knows how to use all of
his' tools. enjoy these ten climaxes plus the three phantastic remixes by
torrent vacine, nebulo and synnack - beware of the lower lip interface!

KEEF BAKER -"red eye" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
in his' own words, the 'keef baker' project started as a cross between
gridlock, somatic responses, venetian snares and tri repetae period autechre.
'i have expanded (these influences) to include
a lot more including dub, jazz, bits of metal, funk, post-rock, straight drum &
bass, indie-rock and the like. not in an attempt to break new ground but in an
attempt to write the kind of music i'd like to listen to. if new ground ends up
being broken on the way then all the better. redeye has took nearly 2 1/2 years
to write, the earliest track on it dates back to around june/july '04 and the
latest to around nov '06. redeye refers to two things, one being an old
fashioned term for whiskey and the other referring to the feeling of tiredness
that i've had for quite some time.'

the uniqueness of keef's musical talent can be described in mixing the above
mentioned influences without breaks within one single track. melodic idm, drum
& bass patterns, breakcore effect usage and sampling
weirdness endorse each other, the changing of rhythms totally make sense, the
different moods keep the listener in a permanent state of positive tension. a
perfect symbiosis of electronic and acoustic
instruments ('tombola thrill killer' with its embedded electric bass might be
an example). the quality of the production is just stunning: clear, powerful
and transparent. this is one of these albums you will
listen to dozens of times and you always find some new details - the time it
took to finish 'redeye' is obvious on every note.

TERMINAL 11 -"fractured sunshine" (CD) (HYMEN)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
terminal11's music was described as: "it's like hearing a drum machine for the
very first time." this description does seem like the perfect definition of
mike castaneda's sound - especially after listening to his compilation
appearances and the brilliant 'illegal nervous habits' cd. the term 'beats' is
re-defined by the sound maniac from arizona. a whirl of samples, time lapse
meters and black hole like compression of track structures - "terminal 11s
sounds roams in an accelerated twilight zone where music turns into data and
data turns into music" (jason forrest).

on 'fractured sunshine' all this madness is present, but castaneda has
straightened out everything a tiny bit. 'counter clockwise chant pattern' f.e.
has a song like structure - including a 'bridge' and some
sort of 'chorus'. however, terminal11 has re-built the patterns of today's
popular music into something new. this is far beyond 'academic electronic
music' where only sound itself counts; you can always hear
the human being behind the knobs that are being pushed. this music arrogates
intransigently - it has to be listened to. sure this is not 'easy listening'
based on today's standards, but it is indeed soul music - have a try, you won't
regret it!

THE RORSCHACH GARDEN -"the toy factory"(CD)(BAZOOKA JOE) (IMPORT)($13.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
it has been two years since rorschach gardens last album, 'our japanese
friends', but the world is still enjoying their mixture of danceable beats,
charmful melodies and unique vocals. the music hits the listener right in the
centre of their heart. it also seems that the italian division of ford thought
the same thing - an excerpt from 'robot song' was chosen as a soundtrack for a
ford fiesta tv ad. now here is trg's long-awaited follow-up: the cd presents
fourteen new tracks (except the entirely re-recorded'society'). 'life is a
combat' starts up with a bang: darrin huss (psyche) is the vocalist and
interprets philipp mnch's lyrics
brilliantly. on 'l'homme deconnect', french independent legend charles de
goal is the guest vocalist (he also wrote the lyrics). btw this is a nice
example of what myspace is good for - the contact between charles and trg
was initiated by a friend add! with 'the toy factory' trg delivers a
contemporary masterpiece of electro-pop without any 'revival' clichs. some
of the tracks have already garnered cheerful comments when they were played
live and the album will definitely elate the rorschach-fanbase.
welcome to the toy factory!

A DIFFERENT DRUM

SYRIAN - "Alien Nation" (CD) (A.D.D.) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Syrian presents the next chapter in their onslaught of ultra-danceable,
irresistably edgy, futuristic themed albums! "Alien Nation" is purhaps
the band's most diverse effort so far, blending in some crunchy guitar sounds
and throbbing industrial beats along with their
established trance-influenced club sounds and synthpop melodies. The songs
explore visions of the future, both hopeful and fearful. The album includes a
unforgettable club anthem featuring a duet with
Alphaville's dynamic vocalist, Marian Gold. Listen to the radio mix of the
song "Supernova" featuring Marian Gold on www.myspace.com/adifferentdrum

great dancey Electro tracks, signature darkwave/ebm hybrid tracks,
and his thick deep vocal and catchy choruses keep you wanting more.

darkwave style, as well as some fun/sampled instrumental
tracks.Each album gets better and more memorable from this amazing artist!

MARK NICHOLAS - "duchess 33" (CD) (DIRTY ELECTRONIC) ($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Mark Nicholas, aka Cosmicity, has finally released his awaited new album
bearing his own name as the title.This is a slight break away from
pure synthpop as he explores a harder edge of electronic sounds and
incorporates more industrial/ebm friendly songs that will appeal to a new
audience.Some tracks have a dark humor that is much needed in the scene and
still maintains his signature sound of Cosmicity as well.
This is definately catchy as ever but it is "dirty electronic"!!

Independent Releases
--------------------------
FIX8:SED8 - "humanophobia" (CD) (IMPORT) (FIX8:SED8) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Influenced by bands such as Skinny Puppy and Velvet Acid Christ, the Fix8:Sed8
sound is characterized by distinctive vocals and the excessive use of all kind
of samples (clearly a result of Sanes preferences for Ogres and Ericksons
work)."Humanophobia" is his first CD where he has chosen to integrate more
immediate clubsounds and dance-elements into
his music.
In January 2005 Sane met sound-wizard Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Destroid), whose
talents were enlisted to produce the tracks that would come to constitute
"Humanophobia". The result is a record with an amazing degree of diversity on
all levels, yet which still maintains the intriguing sonic elements that
characteristic the fix8-sound, especially after the support of Husseyin Koroglu
(Phunkmob) and Steve Dragon (In Strict Confidence) at the final stage of
production.

DIGITAL GEIST - "the zero engine" (CD) (DIGITAL GEIST) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the debut full-length CD of Alex K and Newt, who are hiding behind
this moniker and they offer as an interesting mixture of modern Techno/Trance
combined with some IDM/Electronica influences, Futurepop and a slight excursion
into Electro-Clash music. So youll get a fine and detailed arranged album which
will easily push your body to the dancefloors. With the track "Someone Like Me"
they also have a piece on board which features real male vocals (though well
manipulated with some vocoder effects...) and a real compositional background.
Several spoken word inputs done by Krista Dragomer can be heard on 4 different
tracks. This release also attracts attention because it has several
collaborations and remix works available. With FRONT 242 working on "Someone
Like Me"they could indeed win one of the biggest players internationally,
Danish act NEOTEK has a good name in the Electro/EBM/Industrial scene. But it
should be mentioned that both their remix works dont push the sound of DIGITAL
GEIST any nearer to EBM or Electro/Industrial music they swim with the stream.
Favorites next to Someone Like Me can be named with Earworm (No Light Guides
Us) (what a fine synth layer work!) and the dry Techno-styled Keep The Faith
(featuring Christian K. of DHARMA LAB). Theres a lot of talent and real effort
behind this album and if you dig some of the above mentioned styles, you would
be surprised by the diversity this release has to offer
(Marc from CHain DLK)

SD6 -" between noise and transmission" (CD) (23DB) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rising from the ashes of the Portland, Oregon electronic act, Omnibox, SD6 was
officially born in 2002.The project of OMNIBOx's Brandon Jerwa (also known for
his comic book writing), now includes 3 live members, Nicole,Jessica and
Fritter.
With everything in place, Tom Shear of Assemblage 23 was recruited for his
well-known production polish to bring out the best in the music created by the
band. The result is the bands debut, Between Noise and Transmission, a unique
blend of emotionally intense lyrics, ear-catching melodies, and relentless
dance beats with a fluid electronic backdrop. Indeed, the album is a still-life
portrait of a band constantly in motion, but unwilling to be pushed in one
defined direction. The band continues to play regular shows, supporting such
acts as Covenant, Melotron, Cesium 137 and Icon of Coil. Full-scale tour plans
are currently being mapped out for 2007, following the release of the new
record.

AD NOISEAM
-----------
DRUMCORPS - "grist" (CD) (AD NOISEAM/COCK ROCK DISCO) ($13.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grist", the debut full-length by Drumcorps features 11 tracks of amen blast
beats, guitar-wash-screams, and plenty of musical tension. Quick and decisive,
"Grist" is quite possibly the definitive breakcore/grindcore hybrid album of
its kind. Far from just a typical grindcore mash-up mix, producer Aaron Spectre
plays many of the riffs and tweaks the source material to near impossible
levels, all making a passionate emotional attack on the listener. The intensity
of his live shows has made him increasingly in demand, destroying parties from
Tokyo to London. He's at the top of his game, and "Grist" proves it.

very bass heavy beat get adjusted to a new, faster tempo, and conjugated with
more diversity and voices than ever. A very varied, personal and massive work,
adding a solid stone to the Mothboy discography.

AUTOCLAV 1.1 - "visitor attractions" (CD) (CRUNCHPOD) ($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Visitor Attractions is the follow up to the 2005 critically praised debut album
You are my all and More.
In this his second full length outing, Tony Young reflects on everything he
sees around him day by day. From the realisation of the speed in which life
passes you by to the types of people you encounter on your journey, to absolute
revulsion at the way mankind treats its non human companions on this earth,
Young has sought to tell a story through a backdrop of heart rendering string
sections, piano and broken beats.

Visitor Attractions is a rollercoaster ride of styles fighting for supremacy
from emotional IDM, to breakcore to subtle electronica, ambient with flashes of
industrial, displaying an all out maturity and growth from this artist aiming
right for the heart.

The album is complemented with stunning remixes from Unter Null, Stendeck,
Detritus and Displacer, and features a collaboration with spoken word artist
It-Clings and Pneumatic Detach.

MANUFACTURA - "we're set silently on fire" (CD)(CRUNCHPOD)($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
We're set silently on fire" is the title of the 4th and new album by the now
infamous, influential and unpredictable project known as Manufactura. With the
success of his prior trilogy styled albums, Manufactura's Karloz .M paved a way
in blending sounds, and genres not often heard in what is known today as
industrial music. To this day many DJ's, clubs and fans have trouble
classifying or labeling Manufactura to any one category.
Nevertheless Manufactura has conquered many dance floors and fans through out
the world. With the new album, "We're set silently on fire" he gives us even
more new sounds of heavy, hard and emotional work to devour. The Album Features
14 tracks of hatred, violence, loss, betrayal, melancholy and pure
unadulterated madness. Including a rendition of a song made famous by Bjork.
Forget what you've heard before and be prepared to be set on fire.

HIVE/SUSPICIOUS RECORDS
-----------------------------------
PROMETHEUS BURNING - "beyond repair" (CD) (HIVE) ($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
Beyond Repair is the sound of skyscrapers imploding - acres of wreckage
careening, colliding, and smashing to dust, condensed into one immensely
satisfying mindfuck. 11 tracks of propulsive noise, hard-as-iron beats, and
deceptively infectious dancefloor barrages. Prometheus Burning bring the
satisfying destructiveness back to industrial music - this is no distorted pop,
no trance music about war. This is big fat noisey sledgehammer beats, razorwire
vocals, and constantly morphing tortured electronics.

Having recently appeared alongside Xanopticon, Dev/Null, and Duran Duran Duran
on the Jagoff Uprising double-12" from Thaco Records, Prometheus Burning is
ready to see wide release and send a few kids home crying from the clubs with
bones pounded into gelatin. Beyond Repair features the intensely irresistable
dancefloor landmines "Some Things are Meant to Stay Broken" and "Significantly
Altered."

ESA - "devotion, discipline and denial" (CD) (HIVE) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
An awesome release from the noize, experimental, industrial genre mix...
expect hard, evolving rhythms that will strain your speakers as well as your
ear drums. Dark, brooding, and gritty as hell. ESA's massive, corrosive beats
form the thorny spine on which agitated, sinister atmospheres hang - there is
more songwriting to the compositions, more evolution and intent to the songs
than the mindless, meandering beats that have come to define powernoise. This
is the next generation of aggression in electronics, and we are very pleased to
bring these punishing beats to your hungry ears.

ESA are poised to become the standard by which all distorted beat artists are
measured. Mastered by Josh Collela, and featuring an absolutely spine-grinding
remix by Scrap.edx.

EDGEY vs. DEPTH ERROR "the abuse technique" (CD) (HIVE) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two immense names in the hard electronics scene bare their teeth and enter a
cold concrete cell armed with sledgehammers and fists wrapped in barbed wire.
This CD records the brutality as beats as hard as a brick to the teeth claw for
dominance over 14 tracks of destroyed rhythms, rumbling sub bass undercurrents,
and split-knuckle hammering breaks.

One of the most prolific producers in the hard electronix scene, Edgey needs no
introduction. His releases on Hands Productions, Black Monolith, DHR, and
Reduced Phat showcase an impressive talent for smashing bits of industrial,
breakcore, darkstep, ambient, and powernoise into a sound wholly his own. Depth
Error is none other than Matt Green, UK's hardcore legend. The Depth Error
project shows Matt expanding his palette to include breaks and impossibly dense
sound structures coupled with deep bass swells and frenetic BPM changes.
Massive and tirelessly frantic, this CD is an amazing addition to the Hive
discography, and we are very pleased to bring it to the public.

V/A -BROKEN NIGHTLIGHTS Comp. (CD) (SUSPICIOUS) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first compilation for Suspicious Records, Broken Nightlights is a
cinematic journey across anonymous alleyways, silent bedrooms, and blurred
cityscapes that hum with all the electricity, hope, and absence of the human
heart. The songs collected on this CD represent the the very best artists
making melancholic electronic bliss today, from the understated majesty of Arc
Lab to the blue smoke and cool pre-dawn solace of Leaf to the sadness of Clover
and the aching pure honesty of Sunday Munich. This album is necessary listening
for fans of trip hop, glass-fragile downtempo electronica, and moody
instrumental hip hop.
Features artists...Atonalis, Beauty's Confusion, Detritus, Clover, Opgave Arc
Lab, Cinephile, Lacunae, Leaf, Sunday Munich, Ognihs, Atomica, DJ Inzi Moshe,
Saltillo and Antenne...highly recommended for chill electronica.

KOBOLD -"a taste of copper" (CD) (ARTOFFACT) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Intensity. Emotional twisting and political deceit. Relationships bubbling,
churning, wanting...and the nation state teetering. The art of Kobold speaks so
strongly on its own, it is truly difficult to describe. The music is downright
dark; the content is haunting, spine-tingling, exactly what industrial music
and gothic culture purport themselves to be. Kobold's vision is balanced by a
sense of seriousness--and a sense of ironic immediacy--which is overpowering. A
wise artist once proclaimed "no name, no slogan" meaning (I think) that summary
and flag-waving might be related to skipping the whole knowledge thing. But I
digress: musically, Kobold is a modern and controlled glitch mixed with
old-school industrial vocals and samples. The Taste Of Copper is a truly
wonderful work of modern art.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
----------------------------
HYPNOSKULL -"panik mekanik" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------
'panik mekanik' perfectly displays that there are no reservations whatsoever in
p.stevens' work. on this album you will find a large variety of styles, ranging
from heavy breakbeats and drum'n'bass to dark hop and even ambient and
soundtrackish tunes. but in each and every note you recognize that it's the
unmistakable hypnoskull. fast break-attacks like 'the self detonation device'
and 'in thee air' - that's patrick as you might know him from his'
high-energetic live performances. 'mekanodruggembryo' or 'basement alpha
mission triggerz' show the dark, moody hypno-side - and these tracks only show
a few facets...

ULTRA MILKMAIDS -"pocket station" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------
what we have here is a truly fine mixture of post eighties experimental rock
(in all its varieties) - augmented with the sound ingredients the milkies are
well-known for. 'less drem' with it's long sallow synth line followed by
psychedelic backwards-guitars and irritating clicks is a perfect example of
u.m.'s ability to mold 'unreasonable' styles into one. there is always a
surprising continuation within their songs - 'my star' could be a velvet
underground cover (with the residents' vocalist as a guest), but in the end the
synth takes over - and believe me, this is not a hawkwind tune...

GENEVIEVE PASQUIER - "virgin pulses" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------
the style ranges from distorted noise-influenced industrial ('don't think i
am...') to dark electro beats ('pulse'); also included is her take on a pop
tune ('today the disco'). this retrospective shows genevive's artistic variety
right from the beginning. the mastery of many electronic sound facets, combined
with her exceptional voice - claiming, alluring, repelling, suspicious - was
and will be g.p.'s trademark. all of this is perfectly displayed on this truly
fine release.

M2(SQUAREMETER) -"nyx" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
----------------------------------------------------------
following the fantasy influenced 'war of sound', the exotic 'aswad' and the
haunting 'frozen spark', mathis mootz produced his latest concept work, 'nyx'
(night). 'nyx' is not only the album title but it's also the ancestral name of
the eight greek goddesses and gods that are the inspiration for the track
titles. mootz says that this work "is the most satisfying squaremeter release
since i started the project"...often, releases of this genre have a cold icy
mood but the spirit of 'nyx' is red-hot - even when the deathless long pauses
occur within the tracks. except for 'nemesis' no rhythmic structures will be
found here as an anchor. time itself seems to be invalidated, experiencing this
album will be as if you slipped into a black hole for an eternity. this is like
watching waves crash against rocks in slow motion: there's a sense of movement
and development, but it's almost as if that development is taking place on a
grander time scale than what we are able to grasp. truly epic and massive:
enveloping and cleansing, the sound of tectonic plates colliding.
adjust the headphones - references are legion.

S:CAGE -"madness turns to glass" (CD)(IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
what's astounding in s:cage's work is the ability of mixing various moods
through the assemblage of sounds. there is beauty and aggression at the same
time but there is no disruption; which is perfectly exemplified by the13+
minute track, 'madness'. a kaleidoscope of melodic keyboard lines, enriched
with disturbing samples and sudden broken beats - it could be the symphony of
an awakening megalopolis; a million individuals living their daily lives at the
same time. rhythm is ever present in s:cage's compositions, but rhythm is not
just a carrier of a 'beat' - in 'collapsing breath', the structures change
constantly, keeping the mind and ear busy. the manipulated voices seto
collected are never overbearing, they are a part of the instrumentation. as
seen by cordell klier appearance as a guest musician and vocalist in
'sprawling, endless cities'. in s:cages sound space nothing is as it seems -
take 'vapour', a dreamy soundscape where voices from the real world and fast
rhythmic textures interfere and affect the dream.

NEBULO -"kolia" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-------------------------------------------------------
'kolia' shows thomas's skills in the creation of moods - electronica as a
skeletal structure, enriched with a large variety of rhythmic patterns; from
slow downtempo beats to fast breaks. chords and harmonies make sure that the
tunes are recognizable and unique. finally, the economical usage of samples in
the musique concrete tradition complete nebulo's concept perfectly. this might
be europe's response to well acknowledged acts like LUSINE ICL or the late
GRIDLOCK. especially if their sound was melted with the deep red flavour of an
old bordeaux wine and the playfulness of french tin toys.

KATTOO -"hang on to a dream" (CD) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
16 tracks of melancholia, intensity and beauty - a kaleidoscope of acoustic and
electronic instruments, sample treatments, syncopated drum and percussion
beats. all woven into one continuous work of art (without disturbing
intermissions in-between).

on this cd, volker departs from his world-music influences and replaces the
babylonian disarray with a return to his roots - both as a musician and as an
individual. if we keep the imaginary soundtrack as an example then 'megrim'
might have been a concept work for mel gibson. 'hang on to a dream', especially
tracks like 'you don't know me', would have attracted rainer werner
fassbinder's attention for sure.

production skills throughout.Recommended for all synthpop fans!

THE PEOPLES -"the peoples" (CD) (NINTHWAVE RECORDS) ($11.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an impressive synthpop debut from The Peoples. John Gonatos has crafted
some fine electronic pop songs, with interesting lyrics and melodies that stick
in your head. Most of the songs, like the terrific "The Strange, Crippled and
Poor" and "You Won't Take the Fall" are mid-tempo; the album does not really
have slow ballads or all-out dance tracks. The sounds on this album remind me
of the non-instrumental songs by I Satellite and the lo-fi synthpop of Vitesse.

ASTROMILL -"astromill" (CD) (NINTHWAVE RECORDS) ($11.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
A very cool retro, electronic release with a sound that combines the
old school and new sounds of futurepop, and adds in some nice personality and
tongue in cheek lyrics along with dancier space pop..a solid release which will
be perfect for newer synthpop fans and 80's new wave fans alike.

V/A -PUSHING THE FUTURE vol.2 (CD) (NINTHWAVE RECORDS) ($7.00)

DSBP
--------
ELECTRO SYNTHETIC REBELLION(E.S.R.)-"wounds and scars" (CD)(DSBP($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
E.S.R. is back with a 3rd release (on DSBP) full of energy and darkness!
If needed, Vince Pujol proves once again how to blend expansive melodics with
distorted electronic body music bringing us a "beatifully" arranged album
incluing impressive synthetic textures, powerful rhythms, and harsh emotional
vocals.Each album has been a progression and this is no exception...

MORDACIOUS -"this emptiness" (CD) (HYPERVOXX) ($10.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first label release for this hard working Califonian artist.
His best work to date production wise and a aggressive, dancey mix of EBM, and
dark industrial music.Vocals mix the harsh and melodic distorted styles as
well.Kinda seems like a mesh of new and old school electro combined. 14 tracks
for an hour of music and soundign really addictive after a couple listens will
leave you wanting more.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN
-----------------
SONAR - "alien overdrive" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"alien overdrive" displays sonar's professional skill in diversifying a
well-known style of industrial music, making it fresh and exiting. the
straightness of the tracks works perfectly as a catalyst that makes you move
your body. then again, this music's specific feature is displayed subliminally,
f.e. unusual syncopations ('vanished'), accentuations on the off-beat ('bad
man') or a constant state of the rhythmic flux without an actual beat ('transfo
funk'). the more often you will listen to it, the more you will discover.

the three remixes at the end of this album make a fine addition; ranging from
morgenstern's mixture of dark atmospheric soundscapes and pounding dance beats
to german industrial legend marita schreck's 16th-note tekknoise and
belarussian ambassador 21 who offers this release's fastest track - a powerful
orgy of rhythmic assaults.

SILK SAW -"8 reports" (CD) (ANT-ZEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
once again the two belgians easily create an aural sphere in which the usual
musical laws don't seem to exist, or don't seem to be useful. the same can be
said about time itself - a track's duration has no meaning to the listener -
time is suspended. some tracks seem to be geometric but try listening to these
backwards. the instruments, f.e. synthesizers, 6-string bass guitar and drum
computer, are treated in the unusual silk saw way. none the less, you might
notice that straight forward rhythms are on the album - 'conductor' or
'faggoted' are good examples. the quiet, dark 'sleep will come' sounds as the
title implies, and 'faceless' is something special: broken and un-metric beats.
this track is their most recent composition and maybe one of their best tracks
- so say the artists.
a moody, mesmerizing release, another planet in silk saw's universe.

MAD EP -"not afraid of spiders" (CD) (HYMEN) (IMPORT) ($14.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
matthew's musical training can be recognised during every note played on 'not
afraid of spiders'. the variety of styles - from hip hop, to a treated flamenco
guitar on the four-to-the-floorburner 'velvet pudding mold', to jazzy moods
(indeed 'nicoffeine' seems like miles davis' agharta-period transformed into
2006 breakbeat madness - and '60202 strut' represents the we-want-miles period)
- never sounds eclectic; it's the result of a logical process being a creative
artist, and that's what mad ep really is.

as on his previous album 'eating movies', there are many guest appearances: mc
equivalant, charles peirce (end), flutist/saxophonist scott lamberty (giving a
brilliant hubert-laws-feel on 'stealing your last breath), mochipet, chaonaut,
marlowe, the manhattan gimp project, bryce beverlin II, and david young. on
this cd, all these different influences and artists became a unit - a
conclusion of mad eps composition skills. we are proud to present matthew's
first full-length, hymen records' release - a fresh, unique, contemporary work
of art. highly recommended.

Eurotic) has erupted and spewed out a vomitous act of noise... Matt Fanale
started this project in 2002 to make music that he enjoyed
hearing...stompy, loud, and full of samples. With this creative outlet, he
attempts to combine the raw ferocity of Wax Trax-era industrial with modern,
rhythmic powernoise, and the results have worked. Simply put, it's aggressive
music that will keep you moving on the dancefloor. Matt has already shared the

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMANY)
---------------------------
P.A.L. -"modus" (ANT-ZEN)(IMP) (CD) ($13.00)
----------------------------------------------
12 new tracks bringing back the long awaited sound of P.A.L.!
Its been 6 years since his last release and this one covers more
ground than ever!"we'd like to play somethin' for ya"
"i hate this place. this zoo, this prison.... i must get out of here..."
changes in my persona life occurred: quit a job that was assaulting my nerves
for almost two decades. found a new, much much better job. if you have a
problem - then the company has a problem. 'agentenfister' - a relic of past
rhythmic industrial rage. the sampled copy machine serves as a reminder.
'overlap' - a dedication to a fantastic musical project. the electric piano and
acoustic bass might imply a style that you don't like, but maybe you have never
heard the good stuff. pauses are as just as important as the music. keep it
slow. keep it dark. keep it up.

"come writers and critics who prophesise with your pens...."
'jobs' - a bass line made out of a single note. a driving four-to-the-floor
beat. slight distortion. random synth blasts. there have been those who have
said that 'one of the progenitors of modern industrial and rhythmic noise' has
lost it completely'. blow me.

'dl7vdx v2.0' - first version was made for a compilation (not yet released). an
ambient piece. let yourself go. the title is the e-mail-identity of the person
who made the samples accessible. thanks.
and much more....

MOCTAN - "suspect" (ANT-ZEN) (IMP) (CD) ($13.00)
----------------------------------------------------------
'suspect' is indeed what moctan intended - strong technoid rhythmic industrial
with carefully placed samples, mildly distorted beats and sick synth lines -
which force the listener to groove. don't be irritated by the loopish 'just a
trip' - the rhythmic outbursts start with 'good fellas'. except for the 3/4
metres of 'ill' this cd is a merciless four on the floor beat attack. the last
beast 'no use' slows it down a bit; so that means you should start it over
again!

once more this album proves that bielefeld is a creative centre of contemporary
industrial sound. projects like asche set the pace, and if you like the
'distorted dj' andreas schramm then you will just love andreas glockner

ENDUSER -"form without function" (HYMEN) (IMP) (CD) ($13.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
'form without function' follows what began with 'comparing paths': a movement
from the raw sampling and breakbeat madness of his earlier works to the 21st
century version of drum and bass - drum and bass with more breaks, ragga vocals
and tight fitting sample work. the most basic foundation of the tracks on this
album are a continuation of the sound created by artists like panacea in the
90s - straight-forward d'n'b with mighty, pounding basslines. this foundation
is combined with the styles mentioned above - which is more than a 'mixture' -
it's a style on it's own - 100% enduser.

the rough moods conveyed by many breakcore acts cannot be found here - 'form
without function' is a straight and tight release that does not cause eardrums
to shatter. the speed is turned down in 'keep telling' which gives the listener
time to relax but 'the choke' will get you moving again. the slightly
melancholic 'by a thread' with it's bright piano is the perfect conclusion to
the album. a truly fine example of a work of art by one of the innovators of
the break based sound.

--------------------------------
SALTILLO -"ganglion" (CD) (SUSPICIOUS REC) ($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Saltillo is the new project of Menton J. Matthews, also of the
critically-acclaimed band Sunday Munich. With Saltillo, Matthews delves deep
into the disused corridors of our hidden hiding places, distilling the
painfully honest solitude, longings, disappointments and aching needs at the
heart of our secret selves into the pure sound of emotional honesty. This is
the sound of our shared disillusionment and hope.
A classically trained musician, Matthews is an impressive
multi-instrumentalist, playing cello, viola, violin, guitar, drums, piano, and
bass, as well as a slew of electronics. He has spent the last few years
refining his song-writing abilities by scoring film soundtracks and doing
production work at the mixing desk.
"Ganglion" is the debut CD from this amazing project, and quite possibly the
finest release we have ever heard. We are immensely proud to be bringing this
melancholy masterpiece..(Suspicious Records)

PHOTOPHOB -"still warm" (CD) (HIVE RECORDS) ($12.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Herwig Holzman is the man behind Photophob, a genius electronic composer from
Austria who's ability to knead waveforms into spastic IDM-noiseglitch is
equally quite intimidating and stunning.

Photophob's debut is a mechanical ode to synthsized love.
Refreshingly original, this album is set to steer the whole hard electronic
genre towards new, uncharted horizons.

Berzerk left off with their popular "Welcome to Earth" album. It's the perfect

-----------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Following two CDs on n5md, UK's multitalented Keef Baker offers on Ad Noiseam a
solid 6-track MCD in which his music takes a resolute accoustic and organic
turn. Warm voices flow through "Pure Language" on top of a very distinctive
bass and a new found drum'n'bass twist. Keef Baker enriches this vocabulary
with a playful use of tempo changes and contained noise, writing down a music
both human and massive, full of emotion and yet assertive. "Pure Language" is
neither a whisper nor a shout, but a thoughtful and laid statement, to be
listen to with care and enjoyed with ears wide opened.

LARVAE -"dead weight" (CD) (AD NOISEAM) (IMP)($13.00)

With their second album, Larvae strip their music out of the genres they had

their position as a band, and their place in the musical landscape. Integrating
guitars on most tracks and vocals (by Jessica Bailiff, Shadowhuntaz, Hope For
Agoldensummer and Scalper), Larvae give here birth to a very soulful and
wonderfully produced album which can not be overlooked, a work of great
substance and talent.

industrial, darkwave, and metal stylings, and with more of a "live presence"

tight set.

somewhat warmer, progressive take on a variety of track that began as cold
electronic pieces. The EP will eventually give way to a full length due out
this year. Until then, the best place to catch the new tracks is on tour.

ANT-ZEN
-----------------
THIS MORN'OMINA- "les passages jumeaux: 25~33"(ANT-ZEN)(2CD) ($17.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It took this morn' omina three years to reach the next part of the 'nyan'
trilogy, and it was worth the wait. lots of change and experiences happened
during this period - the most important change might be that of sal-ocin, the
new band member, his skills as a percussionist have been added to mika's
ultra-precise machinery usage - on stage and in the studio.
once again, there was to much music for just one cd; 'les passages jumeaux' is
presented as a 2-cd-set:
25 (cd1): you will be blown away by the sheer power and intensity of the first
two tracks but then you will be lead into a state of hypnosis, trance and
ecstasy - and before you know it you will get trapped in the tribal beats and
moody sequencer lines. lines that lead to the world tree and 33.

33 (cd2): your senses will be overwhelmed by thronging rhythmic variations,
atmospheric synth lines and voice samples. after the final track you have are
two options: lower the temperature to 25 degrees and start over - or get up and
enjoy the [ccf]-versions of five 'les passage jumeaux' tracks on the additional
cd-ep 'au del de tous les degrs' (beyond all degrees...

your brains alive. With this intensive sounding album AMBASSADOR21 blows up
your sound system totally - there is no time for a funeral arrangement.
Musically based on massive industrial sound with obvious punk influences,
"Weight Of Death" brings more heavy breaks, flailing noisy straight beats,
ferocious screams of Natasha in russian and english language and smashed shop
windows into AMBASSADOR21' essence. When you rape us we will seek vengeance.

GENEVIVE PASQUIER-"soap bubble factory" (ANT-ZEN) (CD) ($12.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
being a member of the legendary, now defunct german industrial project
thorofon, genevive pasquier released her first work as a solo artist in 2003.
her first record, 'virgin thoughts' caused enthusiastic reactions by both
listeners and reviewers. the result was mix of electronic/post-industrial music
and 80s-minimal-electro with a frigid but soulful voice. these even tempered
tracks attracted a german and international fan base. 'soap bubble factory' is
genevive's first album on cd - her previous efforts were vinyl only.
all 12 cd tracks have never been released and they explore dark, electronic
soundscapes ('elements', 'mind-whore'), sensuous industrial tunes ('remember',
'tu es le star') and driving retro-electro-songs ('existance', soap bubble
factory'). the vocals are perfectly balanced between being sung and spoken (in
english and french) - and there's even enough space left for a little poem!

($10.00)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bunker Soldier is an unsigned artist who has been releasing material on his own
label, Neo Cultural Front Records, since 1996. His trademark synthesizer sound
is tied to his 80's roots in synthpop. This CD brings in a fresh, new approach
with live drums and guitars on most tracks.
There is still the electronic backbone in every song and the studio grand piano
was used to warm the edges of the melodies. You can even hear some U2 style
guitar mixed in.

Tim Tyran is the man behind Bunker Soldier. In order to achieve his musical
vision in the studio and on stage, he brings in several players and friends.
There are 5 different vocalists on the CD, each bringing their unique style and
sound. He has never hesitated in combining genres, either.
There may be 5 different genres. Synthpop, powerpop, pianopop, industrial, and
trance are represented on "The Debris Field. It is best described as
"Synthpowerpop.

'Rapture', 'Ascension' is in fact the sister-album written with simular themes
in mind. Darkly elegant, soulful - Ascension aspires for a higher place of
existence and really takes you on a spiritual and personal journey.
The production of Resurrection Eve's unique dark-electronics has been
heightened on 'Ascension' as Jordan Robbins (vocals) and Mark Railton (music)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The band formerly known as FORCED are back, loud and REIN=FORCED!
After three years they are proud to present the new album, Futile Longings of a
Condescending Man. Featuring pummeling old school electro industrial beats,
mixed with new school terror EBM and a pinch of drum n bass,
the album follows a man dealing with issues of escapism, suicide, betrayal and
trust. Much more introspective than the previous record, Rein[Forced] bring
new life to a stagnating electro scene with a much needed sense of originality.

Nebula H/Powder Pussy) and guest vocals by CoryMcRae and Dagny Neel. Includes

FIREZONE (BELGIUM)
---------------------------------
THE WEATHERMEN -"embedded with..." (FIREZONE)(CD) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The latest effort by the post-legendary never-imitated, never self-limiting The
Weathermen, called "Embedded With The Weathermen" is, again, a shock.
This time, it's an album full of subliminal messages couched in a not-so-easy
listening format, designed "to relax while answering essential
meta-physiological un-asked questions", according to one of the group's
spokespersons. Waves of electro sounds and infected lyrics warrant the listener
to a unique aural experience.

Themes of the songs include driving under the influence of a Global
Positionning System (also known as GPS), the future of flirtation via implanted
microchips (yuck!), larynx-dectomy (yuck!), spy techniques using doubles and
various non assertive make believes, exoneration of violence due to stress and
the urging of the will-to-do to kill each other can hardly be called 'easy
listening', but The Weathermen have once again pulled a seductive neglige of
negligence over a thinly disguised un-embedded un-dead Golem.
Once again, ten songs guaranteed to further confuse a public hungry for
high-contented content.

AD NOISEAM (GERMAN IMPORT)

ANTIGEN SHIFT -"the way of the north" (ADNOISEAM) (CD) ($12.00)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canada's hottest industrial sensation is back to the cold. Four years after
having dropped a bomb in the form of his Implicit Structures debut, Antigen
Shift comes back with a second full length, The Way of the North, filling up
the expectations raised by his 2002 collaborations with label-mate Detritus and
long-time collaborator Iszoloscope.The Way of the North is the most harmonious
Antigen Shift releases so far, rich in refined arrangements, massive bass and
an syncopated percussions. While the dancefloor might still shake, The Way of
the North is a irresistible album, and heads will soon start nodding to the
deep pulsating drums of such tracks as Verglas or L'horizon.

ANT-ZEN/HYMEN (GERMAN IMPORTS)
--------------------------------------
SYNAPSCAPE & ASCHE -"scenes from a galton's walk"(ANT-ZEN) (CD)($12.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
seven tracks by synapscape and six tracks from asche - this could have been 2
new cd-eps. well, here you get 1 new full-time cd instead! the act! was just
finished, but synapscape still had more. seven new tracks where t.kniep and
philipp mnch keep the beat straight, the vocals distorted, and the pace fast;
however, they let the dancers catch their breath with 'karambolage' and
'situation eight'. so what are you doing with whitenoise, baby? go enjoy it!
after three years, several compilation appearances and re-releases of older
material on cd-r there is a new sign of life from asche. more distortion, more
beats, more disturbing voices and vocals - and more names: this morn' omina
collaborated with andreas schramm on 'petunia', which was re-edited by moctan
on 'falling to the ground'. rhythmic rage meets droning darkness - asche, make
my day!

GINORMOUS -"the endless procession" (HYMEN) (CD) ($12.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
for his second album on hymen, the endless procession, ginormous bryan
konietzko digs deep into a passion for stringed instruments. 'i took electric
guitar lessons for years, learning pink floyd solos and jane's addiction and
stuff, notes bryan, whose creative endeavors extend beyond music to being
co-creator of the animated tv series avatar: the last airbender. that said, the
endless procession is hardly a rock album; it is epic music for the dynamism of
a darker, more sinister world. like gridlock, lusine icl and hecq, ginormous
commingles razor-like industrial noise with atmospheric sounds, conjuring a
macabre, 3-dimensional soundscape that unfolds as each moment passes. a
mechanical haunting presence starts the album off on 'begin with the end in
mind,' meandering through raucous noise breaks and a hitchcockian piano theme
on 'byproducts of stress and boredom,' moments of ambient bliss on 'noctilucent
and ominous strumming hallucinations on 'gleaming rows.'.

GJOLL -"way through zero" (HYMEN) (CD) ($12.00)
-----------------------------------------------------
within the first minute you will be haunted by the story's musical
visualization. each of the five parts stands for itself, showing the evolution
of the man's mental state: from depressed to aggressive and then finally
released. various astounding sounds are found within its isolated shell -
pulsing sub-basses, synth layers over a driving rhythmic sequence, noise
drones, ambience with high frequency sonic attacks and silent melodic phrases.
if we should dare a comparison then the scandinavian dark industrial sound
isn't that far from the 'way through zero'.

VAMPTURE RECORDS
-----------------
ANDERS MANGA - "left of an all time low" (VAMPTURE) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Left on an All-Time Low" builds upon Anders Manga's eminently danceable style
with tracks like "Character in Charm, "Bad Girls Go to Hell," and the new wavey
"Empire on the Sun," while moodier tracks like the watery "Bloodletting on the
Kiss" and wistful "Surrender" keep your ears from tuning out an otherwise
undying devotion to the beat. Such variety makes this disc listenable as an
album rather than just a collection of gothtronica dance
hits.Industrial/gothic/electronica combine !!

RADIO VALKYRIE
-----------------
OUT OUT -"visual sound images" (RADIO VALKYRIE)(CD)($10.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------

albums..The more you listen to it, the more addicted you will become.
Mark Alan Miller is back and better than ever with some really clubby,
intricate and fun tracks that should get him lots of new fans!
This is a broadening of sound, an incorporating of several styles he's not
done before. Biting samples, highly detailed beats, spot on programming and yet
there still remains much aggression in the music. It's not upfront anymore,
however. It smolders in the background, cleverly concealed beneath layer upon
layer of sound.

UP SOUNDSYSTEM are everything from 'hardcore idm' to 'ambient gabber', and all
other oxymoronic commodities in-between. They run MASH UP RECORDS while making
electronic music that goes across the board, like the KLNG KLNG ' parties we
throw, where we refuse to stick to just one 'style' of music. Whatever the
breaks and beats, it's all techno! prepare to be surprised and expect the
unexpected!

ANATHEMA DEVICE -"the severing of tithes" (ANATHEMA DEVICE) (CD) ($10.00)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This solo project of Kerry Smith definately incorporates some diversity and
mixing elements of rock/industrial/electronica into a very memorable and harder
edged album with good harmonious vocals, catchy choruses, and
rocking music which bears simlarities to NIN, MINISTRY, ORGY,and a bit of
classic rock style in there as well.This 12 track album has its own
flavour, and sounds really good as well.Originality is good!

INDEX AI -"world blade center" (AURALSIX) (CD) ($10.00)
------------------------------------------------------------
INDEX returns with a new self released album and adding the "AI" onto the
name.This is Eric Chamberlains 5th full length release, and it reminds us
of the "black twilight" and "fait in motion" albums quite a bit with
some really amazing instrumental pieces such as "ultra hard shadow" style
brought.A very well done and original sounding electro/industrial/ambient
styled album which should please old INDEX fans and new alike!

of electronic rock that is provocative, engaging, and fiercely emotional.
Devour, Rise, and Take Flight is an unforgiving electronic rock assault carried
across twelve powerful tracks. Shikhee's commanding voice takes center stage,
set against her most challenging, yet accessible songwriting to date. And in
true Android Lust fashion, she saves her best hooks for her most vicious
sentiments, all while taking modern electronic music even further to the
edge.Always evolving and making her sound better each time...this album is a
must have for all electronic/industrial fans.

MIZUKIS BOX

DUBOK -"shiver" (MIZUKIS BOX) (CD) ($11.00)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shiver, the long awaited follow up to 2002's Technicolor, brings Dubok back to
light after 3 years of uncertainty. Technicolor proved that Dubok not only had
the ability to step outside the often suffocating boundaries of electronic
music, but that they had also developed their own signature sound. Shiver takes
that sound even further, refining Technicolor's concepts into a focused and
mature offering of electronic music.

CYSTO -"built for you" (CYSTO) (CD-R) ($7.00)
------------------------------------------------------------------
A new talent from Canada comes forth here with some nice middle paced
EBM/industrial with some melodic and harder sounds/style as well.
12 tracks fill this high quality CD-R release with good diversity and
club tracks that should get this new name known in no time.

BIO-MECHANICAL DEGENERATION -"exoskeleton" (DSBP#1072) $10.00
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another great project from Vince Pujol(E.S.R., DIVERJE)...he creates a very
sci-fi-atmospheric and sonically diverse disc here with a very futuristic sound
and approach overall.50% of the
tracks contain vocals from VINCE and TOMMY T.
and the other 50% are all instrumental with sci-fi samples in the mix,
and both Vince and Tommy work the keyboards.Well thought out, and nicely
crafted tracks which will catch you in to want to hear them over and over.
Dark electronics and flowing melodies converge with tribal-esque rhythms and
thick synth-basslines.

Music for the dance floors and late night headphones as well.This will work
well with the
trends even though its a bit more trippy and original.
The disc contains 14 tracks and includes a bunch of collaborations with
TOMMY T.(DIVERJE,in-FUSED) who serves as the 2nd member to help create
new lyrics/ideas, vocoder and synth sounds and textures as well.
