Citron
Reissue of an obscure Early 90s album, Citron is a complete remix of the Czech heavy metal band Citron's 1990 release Vypustte psy!, or Release the Dogs. While spending an extended period in the Ostrava studio of Citron's leader Radim Parízek, FAT found itself with access to the original 24-track tapes of Citron's then-most-recent album. Working at night, FAT discreetly remixed the entire album to create Citron. Citron is a far cry from the original record's heavy metal sound, as FAT creates a b…
Dance Remotion
Belgian new wave & DIY minimal synth duo that started out experimenting with a rhythm box and post-punk guitars in the vein of early Cabaret Voltaire. Rudolf Hecke explains the origin of the band: “By the end of the seventies we were both living in small towns near Leuven. I had been playing in bands since 1973 and was still living with my parents in Veltem-Beisem where the garage was my rehearsal-room. One day he showed up, he was looking for a songwriter, he’d be the singer. He rode a bike.”Th…
The Factory Scream
Twilight Ritual was/is the main project by Geert Coppens and Peter Bonne. During the early eighties they were involved in many other bands including Autumn and The Linear Movement (both recently re-released on Minimal Wave), but Twilight Ritual is by far the most inspired project. The spirit of the band lingers on beneath the work of Autumn through A Split Second. The work of Twilight Ritual is diverse, yet consise. Their pioneering album Rituals inspired other musicians and became an undergroun…

Minus Modum
"Once again Gerard uses his guitar, low-key electronics, his own voice, and inanimate objects in the creation of a five-part work, this time using Greek letters to identify the separate parts of the structure. He also uses a lot of silence, as usual, and one has to strain quite hard to make out any perceptible markings on this blank stretch of time. Actually what may appear to be pure silence actually contains a very subtle and washed-out drone of some sort, produced by means we know not – it’s …
Murur Al-Kiram
**300 copies** Portland and Beirut rub shoulders again as Beacon Sound and Ruptured reveal their second co-release, the new album by Lebanese ensemble Kinematik entitled Murur al-Kiram. Over the course of 11 tracks, the band uses electronics, intricate double-drumming, guitar and bass to construct ambient soundscapes and hypnotic, propulsive rhythms – conjuring the ghosts of a diminishing future as well as an unresolved past. Subtle in both angst and joy, the album celebrates small victories in …

Jila - Save ! Mon. - The Imaginary Suite
**Original 1979 vinyl edition of the album. Few copies available. Sealed copies** A post-free masterwork, recorded in Milan in 1978. This is an extraordinary encounter between George Lewis's electronically modified trombone and the flute, alto sax and bass clarinet played by Douglas Ewart, a giant of impro jazz, often at Lewis's side. Both George Lewis and Douglas Ewart create arresting, complex music here, in ways that powerfully contrast and powerfully pull together. The two are prodigious mus…

Advent became a true underground success story, a critical darling, with Alan Licht, for example, putting it on his 'minimal top ten list' in the publication Halana.

Originally recorded in 1988, it features Richard on electric guitar, piano, oboes and…

Яркаятьма - In The Bright Darkness
Creutzfeldt Jakobs is a strange instrumental pop band from Malmo, Sweden; their music is "inspired by old BBC-soundtracks and early 80´s balkan-synth scene, composed and recorded using old synths, tape decks and other forms of obsolete technology"; their songs talk about the history of the Soviet Union, with particular interest for the Perestroika-era. Well, something bizarre enough to make us fall in love immediately! "In the bright darkness" is a romantic concept album about the illusions, dr…
Monofuture
Evanescent lights in the night. Dirty cities. Cruel concrete buildings soaring in an ashen sky. On the paths of our imagination, dreams and fears intersect, generating accidents and strange mythologies of a near future. Cavern plays with the anguished fantasies of retro-futuristic sci-fi to compose deep and pulsating music that conveys a sense of agonizing wait. Here in the HDK headquarters we immediately fell in love with Cavern's music and decided to publish a cassette anthology entitled "Mon…

They then decide to return to the city sewers, re-cross the orcs' hideout and try if, as they think, the key opens the mysterious trapdoor. Obviously it works! They will get access in a new le…
Electric star
In Italy, the Berlin School style of Electronic Music has found poor diffusion in the '70s; few were the musicians who have followed the German cosmic way: surely the most important among them was Baffo Banfi, keyboardist of the prog-band "Biglietto per l'Inferno" and author of beautiful albums with funny titles such as "Galaxy my dear" (1978) and "Ma, Dolce Vita" (1979), that we recommend everyone to listen to. It’s a pleasure to meet today in Italy new disciples of the cosmic couriers such as …
