ASp/SEC_
2008 release ** ASp is a parallel project of neapoletan impro trio A Spirale, consisting of the duo Mario Gabola on sax, feedback and electronics and Maurizio Argenziano on electric guitar. / SEC_ is one of the new talents of italian electro-acoustic music. Improviser and composer, he tries to drive the "musique concrète" in a new dimension, open to the darkest power electronics as well as to the research on feedback devices. His main instrument is the reel-to-reel recorder Revox, that he uses t…
XIB
2001 release ** Limited edition of 111 copies. "Collaboration of two of Germanys most powerful noise projects: DL (formerly know as Dachau Lustknaben) and EK (also known as Einsatzkommandos). Merciless and cold power electronics in their purest form. No Voices, no sampler, just aural agony. On the contrary to some of their fellow noise artists DL / EK do not glorify the horrors of the third Reich but condemn them. This release is dedicated to the victims, not to the committer."
Tomorrow's Void
2008 release ** "Although not overly prolific in his output, Andrew Moon has added another installment to Utech Records' URSK series which fits in to the ethos that the project has established: a disc of dark, ominous drone with a slight edge of noise. Considering there have been contributions from such scene titans as Skullflower and Final, RST holds their own, and is idiosyncratic enough to stand out among the throngs of guitar drone projects."
Jungle Reaction
2007 release ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies. "A bright and almost poppy sounding mix of processed sounds and vocals backed up by light electronic rhythms. For the most part it's got me thinking of bands like Lucky Dragons and High Places, that sort of psychedelic electronic-augmented indie sort of sound, but the comparisons don't seem totally apt as the four tracks often flirt with more overt electro-pop sounds too. Props to 'em for having a pop at something out of the ordinary a…
Gma
2007 release ** Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies in a card sleeve. "Russian project Erthad, originating from Kazan, exists since late 90-ies, but until now still hasn't made any official releases and preferred to stay in underground, recording music only for himself and his friends. We have been endeavouring to change this situation for a long time and now we're glad to present this wonderful disk to your attention. "Gma" was recorded in 2002 with the use of voice and software noise s…
Cooks & Devils
2009 release ** "„Cooks & Devils“, a single track culled from a performance at the Kunstverein Göttingen in Summer of last year, shows just how far Ignaz Schick has come. The „Snake Figure Arkestra“, the latest formation to flow from Schick's fantastical fluidum, is centered around an enduring partnership with Marcel Türkowsky but, needless to say, again open to external input and to debate, discussion and critical discourse: The Arkestra has already joined forces with Drone-Surrealist Christop…
Der Ruf
2006 release ** "Five years after the release of Sal Solaris' first album "Outerpretation Of Dreams" on the Austrian label Hau Ruck!, Der Angriff and Indiestate are pleased to present the second CD of this magnificent Russian industrial project. The music of "Solnechnaya Sol" can be called "power ambient" - deep and penetrating, without obvious rhythm or noise, it does not have a calming meditative effect, but a powerful and active impact. The closest comparisons include Reutoff, Stalnoy Pakt or…

Amity
2010 release ** "'Amity' is definitely the most accessible album in the discography of this project. After flirting with American Tympanic Audio, [haven] comes back to the Polish market. The fifth album of one of the most interesting projects on the Polish independent scene released on Zoharum - [haven]'s 'Amity'. The new album can be quite a challenge for the current [haven] fanbase. 'Amity' is a bold journey through different soundscapes. [haven] links different musical worlds: elements of amb…
Ulterior
2016 release ** "Matschulat’s 1st album explores the dynamics between our inner-selves and our social-existential conditions as human beings through the themes of restraint, dissociation, loneliness and vulnerability. Mainly using old and new recordings, synthesizers and having sampled variations of his own screaming voice, Matschulat offers a violent and anxious ride through his own personal notions of our fragile and circumstantial existence. Abrasive and poetic, this dramatic album demonstrat…
Flow
2006 release ** "In the artist's own words, Flow is an exercice of confrontation, a placing in context between voice and computer, all the idiosyncrasies of bare-naked human expression, altered, expanded and processed beyond its own flesh and blood. It also stages the possibilities and the impossibilities of relationships, or at least tries to pose some questions about the construction of our identity as a permanent conversation with others, through emotions that flow from rational collaboration…

Country Music
*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…
Sort By Dragging
2016 release ** "Bremen artist Ulli Bomans is releasing his second album under his real name,‘Sort By Dragging,’ on the Berlin-based Shitkatapult label. His debut album ‘Riven’ followed a long series of music productions under his alias Schieres and numerous maxis, albums, remixes and tours together with Marco Haas aka T.Raumschmiere and their band of electronic thunder experiments, Shrubbn!!. This time, the listener loses himself entirely in the gloomy, captivating worlds of sound or, better ye…
Comrades In Lost...
2004 release ** 'Comrades in Lost' is the multimedia / audio CD, which is created with an aim to introduce people to latvian industrial music. Sound material presents each musician’s search in the field of industrial music, what comes from a personal belief and experience. Soundscape shows influences of martial industrial, power electronics and IDM, but can’t be placed in a frame of a particular style. The sound remains individual and satiated, with a touch of experiment, but not experimental. T…
Oh! You Are So Naive!
2006 release ** "Oh! You are so naive! is the fourth album released by Mirt outside of the parent Brasil & the Gallowbrothers Band, and previously One Inch of Shadow. The album is a continuation of the path begun on the last mini-album – “Most”. This time, however, the whole is not based on a specific place, but on the fascination with twentieth-century revolutions and socialist utopia. Six songs about a revolt that never took place, about the hopeless immobility of today's rebels camouflaged so…
A Brief Audio History Of Agriculture
2005 release ** "This project began with an unlikely source: a t-shirt, which read 'if you eat, you have an interest in agriculture.' From conversations about the ways in which agriculture and farming practices have shaped our lives in North America derived primal ideas on a language to represent agriculture. Early in the spring of 2004, as the snow was just melting, I made some recordings of myself "playing" a derelict rusty piece of farm machinery abandon in a field. I was quite taken with the…
Assisted Self-Sterilization
2007 release ** "Finns have joined their forces to restrict the birth control. Operation, lasting 55 minutes and from the operating room of Bizarre Uproar and Gelsomina, one goes out fresh and carelessly looking to the future. We have 4 pieces of energizing harsh noise chaos. The first piece starts with a few shouted words and here we go. The name of the song because of my lack of knowledge of Finnish language remains unknown. The fact is that there are many metal things "torture" - chains, tins…
