CAMERA LUCIDA
"LINE is proud to announce the release of its first DVD, Camera Lucida. The project by Russian/American installation and video artists, Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand and developed in collaboration with scientific laboratories in Japan, Germany, Russia and Belgium, Camera Lucida (chamber of light or lucidity) is a 3-dimensional sonic observatory that directly transforms sound into light by employing a phenomenon known as sonoluminescence: ultrasound, propagating within a liquid, triggers th…
The Structure of Chance
Years On Earth’s electronic, experimental and industrial approach to their music reminds one of a mix of early Cabaret Voltaire, Eyeless in Gaza and Throbbing Gristle. It can be considered as an alchemistic creation, forming something very unique and amazing in mood and atmosphere produced and experienced by the listener. As Mutant Sounds website stated: “… wonderful, dark, claustrophobic, scary atmosphere... an absolutely unknown Gem!“Years On Earth (Bob Roke & Mebz) have been act…
self-hypnosis
AWESOME!!!!! What’s going on here? Well, a couple sides of Self-Hypnosis were recorded in a concrete racquetball court (and a couple of sides weren’t) which has been mysteriously transformed into the legendary Black Ark Studios and Lee Perry is going NUTS with the ol’ echo effects. A tiny clatter in the background suddenly rushes up to your ear-bones, magnified into giant sheets of rubberized steel plates which bounces as high as you are. The backwards flow-motion is set on fire as the storm app…
In memory of John Balance and homage to Coil
These artists explore and express, openly and without limits, what Coil’s heritage suggests to them, an opportunity to make an homage to Geff Rushton aka John Balance who left us on November 13th 2004. Coilectif is also an homage to all the musicians and illustrators Scherer & Ouporov participating to the project united for the first time in such an outline, where each one of them expresses what Coil’s universe evoques to him through lunar, astral and visionary excursions, keeping his own artist…
Hold Everything Dear
Hold Everything Dear is the third installment in the new Cindytalk sound which started with 2007’s The Crackle Of My Soul, and then last years Up Here in The Clouds. Its the first in the trilogy to feature musicians other than Gordon Sharp namely the late Matt Kinnison, to whom the album is dedicated. Inspired by the John Berger book of the same name, this latest release is whole new set of parameters which push the sound on the previous two works to an extreme point of abstraction, and in…
Trulofa Trio
Jon organized the qbico u-nite IV in Aarhus, Denmark back in 2006... when i met him, i immeditaly sensed being in presence of a sensational xhol/a very young nature boy with his own voice... so we made the 1st Truelove LP on qbico... this is the new Trulofa Trio with Magnus (Elektronavn/Pink Luminous Invocation) and Nikolai (Shiggajon/Elektronavn) = probably my favourite group around these days (not too many unfortunatly)... that's why i invited them to the 1st Sagittarius A-Star night @ ISSUE i…

12 Stationer VI
Music of incredible beauty and complexity on Stephen O’Malley’s Ideologic Organ label. Inspired by Pierre Henry, Swedish-Hungarian composer Rózmann (1939-2005) rejected traditional orchestral work to purse his mounting obsession with electronics and acousmatic sound. This new vinyl edition features four passages from Rózmann’s landmark work, 12 Stationer, which was developed over 23 years and dramatises its creator’s spiritual journey from Catholicism to Tibetan Buddhism. Ákos R…
Fever Dream
MAP is Mary Halvorson (guitar), Tatsuya Nakatani (percussion) and Reuben Radding (bass). Fever Dream is a vinyl-only release of high-temperature improvisations that elicit abstract thought. Following their first album, Six Improvisations For Guitar, Bass And Drums, a somber black & white affair with former bassist Clayton Thomas released on CD in 2004, Fever Dream blasts forth from the sweaty sheets of a sleepless night in vivid color. Meticulously recorded by new bassist Radding and mast…
Live in Vilnius
RESTOCKED! At the tail end of 2008, the folks at NoBusiness Records got in touch with us to propose the release of the last recorded work by the David S. Ware Quartet in an exclusive vinyl edition. Terms were met, authorization was given, and the gorgeous result is now available. The very last U.S. performance by the DSWQ (June 18, 2006 at the Vision Festival) was documented and released by AUM Fidelity on the CD Renunciation. David then brought the group overseas for one final European tour in …
August 1974
Gatefold 2LP version. Originally issued as a double LP with each of the 4 tracks being roughly the same length as the side of a record, August 1974 presents the Taj Mahal Travellers at their most sophisticated. Although their stunning cosmic music was always improvised, the band, formed in 1969 by "six meta-music creators and one electronic engineer" played regularly throughout Japan and eventually found their way to Europe where they met up with avant-garde musicians such as Don Cherry. 1…
Where Does Your Mind Go?
**1st pressing limited to 500 copies, pressed at RTI. Includes mp3 download coupon redeemable directly from the label** An utterly absorbing and time-dilating double LP of masterful synth music from one of the scene's most prolific and respected sons, Expo 70 aka Justin Wright, together with Matt Hill - who recently dropped that brilliant Umberto album on Not Not Fun. Aiming a few notches above the reams of DIY tape spools, 'Where Does Your Mind Go?' was recorded professionally at the studio of …
Tyrant
"NOW AVAILABLE ON LIMITED VINYL EDITION. Circle really have it all don't they? Not content with their innate ability to rock the damn place down, they managed to cough and splutter their way through two jam packed discs of melancholy, gloomy moonlit ambience on last weeks 'Miljard' and now they're back with a unique contribution to Southern's killer Lattitudes series of releases. I'm sure you're all aware now how limited these are, Sir Richard Bishop's disc must have lasted all of five minutes, …
Das Platinzeitalter
Bianchi began to produce music in 1979, at the peak of the industrial scene since 1980 using electronic equipment with the avowed goal 'to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realizing of the modern decadence,' but his works harked back to the musique concrete of the 1950s. This LP is a return to his early work. Maurizio Bianchi/M.B.: archaic waves, ancient loops, primitive electronics.
The Path Of Lighting
First off, this 2xLP set has THEE best cover I’ve laid my sockets on in many moons. It is soooo eye-burningly great that I’m tempted to run out and buy a van just to have the image painted on it. It’s about time the art world came around to the lucrative “ray-gun touting topless women riding giant tarantulas through darkened valleys” market. Bra-fuckin’-vo! But I’m not getting off my high horse just yet. I must say that this latest from NorCal’s finest, Starving Weirdos is one of their most swel…
Unitxt
This latest Alva Noto production is quite excited and rhythmical, especially in the first part (tracks 1 to 10), shaking the audience through multiple communication codes, modulated in sound frequencies that are always well synchronized, touchy and reactive. This seems to be the ultimate recording; an elaborate and synthetic frontier, a computation of the "musical text" fashioned by multiple interfaces and software integrations. When listening to "unitxt", even the unaccustomed listener is immed…
Heart Ache & Dethroned
Deluxe gatefold 2LP version. Some of Broadrick's most outstanding work in the past decade. "Sixty-eight minutes of unreleased new/early Jesu on two LPs, including the band's lost 2004 EP Dethroned. There are few artists operating at the fringes of popular music today whose sound has not been in some way or another informed or shaped by the works of Justin K. Broadrick."
Faust is last
Could it be that there's something a bit final about this album? Apart from the fact that it has the word "Last" in the title, the sleeve features a similar image to that of the very first Faust album, suggesting that the group have finally come full circle. Confusingly however, there are two Fausts knocking about at the moment, one featuring Zappi Diermaier and Jean-Herve Peron, the other (this one) 'fronted' by Hans-Joachim Irmler. It has been suggested in certain reports that Faust …
Alas Sobre El Mundo
Madrid-based Aviador Dro recorded some of the most leftfield minimal wave synth punk ever made. Truly amazing industrially-themed this rerelease features their vinyl-recordings from 1982 "alas sobre el mundo" lp (dro010), the "nuclear, sí" 7"ep (dro-001) and "programa en espiral" 12"ep (dro-007)
