Snake Island
2025 stock ** "Snake Island, the new album from Mona Mur, sees the Berlin-based artist building upon her dark electronic sound with a newfound interest in playing guitar. Collaborating with Ralf Goldkind, Mur balances abrasive elements with moodier atmospherics. Creative production and sound design throughout gives Snake Island an absolutely unique sound. Since emerging in the early 80s, Mur has released albums under her own name and been part of collaborations with such artists as En Esch and …
Blood To Blood
2008 release ** "DerDrakos, under which hides the Greek/Italian clan composed of Steve J. Drakos, father and Alex Drakos, son, authors of music, lyrics and vocal lines, whose musical proposal is an industrial techno music, strongly influenced, on a textual level, by the anarcho punk ideology, while on a musical level we are close to shores such as the techno music of the nineties and the more “raw” industrial of Einsturzende Neubauten, but also to the more politically engaged one of KMFDM. Wanti…
Antimother
2003 release ** ""Anti Mother is a follow-up from Czech ambient-industrial pioneers The Three, whose works foresaw and predestined the musical algorithms and the development the Czech industrial scene. After their last studio session in 1995, which resulted in seven compositions that blazed the trail later walked by such artists as Steve Roach or Yen Pox, Project the Three’s activity was frozen. After eight years of hibernation they have metamorphosized into Anti Mother.""
Complexed
2012 release ** "An abominable noise, perfect for those who don't love themselves. An authentic auditory disaster, a descent into the underworld of the most abject psychological dysfunctions, in an electronics made of surgical microsounds, ambulatory atmospheres, unidentified noises, patterns sent in loop until exhaustion. References? Well, think of the isolationist atmospheres of Mego (Pita in particular) or the extreme power electronics of an Atrax Morgue and you'll have a general idea of wh…
The Damnation Helix: Zeitgeist Movement Vol. 2
2006 release ** "Annihilvs Power Electronix proudly presents The Damnation Helix, from Wilt. With The Damnation Helix, James P. Keeler sinks to new depths of sonic necromancy. Hearken to the sound of black teeth grinding against the boundaries of the afterlife to send us a message of fear, as the voices of the damned cry out from beneath blankets of charred skin just beyond the threshold of a universe of pure madness. This material ranges from the familiar dark atmospheres of Wilt's previous wor…
Phlegmaticus
1999 release ** "Maurizio Pustianaz is the mentor of Gerstein a one-man sound project that from the mid-80s to the end of the 90s, was creating authentic underground electronic gems. Already in the new century, Pustianaz opted for the most bland and commercial electro, something that he has been doing until now, a real shame. This is his most experimental stage, where he took risks with dense atmospheres, dark electronic sounds, tape treatment, etc... Re-issue of his first cassette released by t…
Solaris
2007 release ** "Debut CD album from Moscow artist Nikita Golyshev. "Solaris" comes in the shape of two long deep ambient pieces with perpetually expanding drones and minimal melodic tones."
Thinking Dust
2005 release ** "After a few CD-R releases, Wolfram's "first real album", released by the newly established Monotype label from Warsaw. "Thinking Dust" develops and exceeds the ideas from "Atol Drone" and "Mind Locations" released over the years - a very personal, calm, but also subconsciously disturbing variety of ambient. Wolfram never explored the sounds of "post-club" or naive el-music, so his work has always been free from rainbow idyll, instead it was disturbing (without evoking ghosts or …
Species-Appropriate Animal Husbandry
2025 stock ** "Very strong studio session recorded in June 2012. Free improvisation consisting of small sounds – whining, rustling, grumbling – produced by a bass clarinet (Koch, commanding techniques), electronics (Badrutt, mysterious), and percussion (Babel, excellent at playing hide-and-seek with the other two’s sounds). Seven tracks, one to ten minutes long, with plenty of enigmatic stuff going on and lots and lots of deep listening."
Relic Radiation
Edition of 300. Of my first visit to Earth in 2024 I have only the fuzziest recollection, for here I must fall back on my own mnemonic resources. My chief impression seems to have been of sunlight, the authentic, inimitable sunlight of Earth. Organs that have evolved under particular conditions will naturally be most comfortable where those conditions obtain, and thus no substitute, however artful, can provide just those balances of colour and intensity, those alterations of night and day, summe…
Trumpetronics
2001 release ** "Kozo Ikeno is a trumpet and electronics player from Japan. He creates experimental jazz, abstract break beats and field recordings. He is out now with this new album produced in Italy by Braxtone Records. It is a real must for experimental music connoisseurs!!! All compositions by Kozo Ikeno, composed and recorded in 2001"
Knar
2008 release ** "Legendary album in remastered version,including two rare tracks, edition in new layout. 'Knar' is one of the most important releases in history of Different State. Many polish musician journalists announced 'Knar' as the album of the Year 1996. We recommend this release to elder fans of this group and to all of you who love unconventional type of sounds. For fans of Godflesh, Head of David, Coil, Scorn."
The Rapture Of Metals
1993 release ** "The title of this CD might erroneously suggest something heavy, abrasive and industrial, but The Rapture of Metals is in part an elegant homage to the metallic gongs of the Indonesian gamelan orchestra. The title track is the most overtly Indonesian, with electronic drones and effects enhancing a traditional gamelan gong pattern. But on several other tracks, Paul Schütze (Laughing Hands) further personalizes his use of gongs, capturing the dreamy, otherworldly quality of Indones…
The Deep
2011 release ** "Kasper T. Toeplitz, known as one half of Le Depeupleur (with Zbigniew Karkowski), is successful with his computer trio on the young Icelandic label Zoar. I think Toeplitz can do whatever he wants, it will always retain his special touch of grey sound. Here we imagine how a channelless TV screen with a crackled image is transformed into music. This scene always appears in my mind's eye when I hear music by Toeplitz. And so it is on The Deep - a fearless escapade of hissing, nasty…
Tenebrae
2011 release ** "A collaboration album by two prominent Russian post-industrial projects Majdanek Waltz and Sal Solaris. The conceptual core of the record is the poetry of Paul Celan, one of the major German-language poets of the post-World War II era. His cryptic fractured lyrics spoken in a specific estranged way by Pavel Blumkin is enchased by a weird fusion of avant-garde neoclassic and dark ambient music. This record will seem unusual even for those who are already familiar with the works o…

Spazmatic[k] Spell
2008 release ** "This album, dedicated to A.O. Spare include 60 minutes of pure magic[k]al sounds conceived by two projec[k]ts: Different State and Sigill. Each of them represents a slightly different approach, although they are both connected by mystic[k]al, alc[k]emical, ritual character. Marchoff (Different State) describes his music as alchembient. This sums his work up perfectly. It’s a mix of illbient a bit in the vein of Coil or Psychic TV, a great deal of alchemical incantations and moan…
Yield
2011 release ** "The publication contains remastered versions of songs that were first released on the Yield cassette in 1995 by I&E SPM and a bonus in the form of two songs from the ‚Cardinal Mosaic’ release. When this material appeared on our scene over 15 years ago, someone said: Americans have Ministry, English have Godflesh and Poles have Different State. This is the best summary of what is on this album. These words best reflect the atmosphere of this album."
Black Rider
2006 release ** "Dark and impressive Industrial-Electronics in classical style mixed with dronning and pulsating Power-Electronic tracks. Unreleased early recordings from these pioneers of the early 90ies! cover-art by Fabrice Billard."

Cavitation
2005 release ** "The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it’s going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instru…
