In The Reign Of Dying Embers
For a number of years now Fourth Dimension Records has been responsible for releasing most of Gary Mundy of Ramleh’s solo works under his Kleistwahr guise. Each of these albums is possessed of a thematic approach harbouring some of his obsessions, passions and explorations into both pure, unadulterated sonic expression and many of the concerns driving it. Although traces of Gary’s longstanding interest in unforgiving and uncompromising music can often be found threaded throughout Kleistwahr’s wo…

Structured Suicide
** Deluxe vinyl LP version. Limited edition to 299 copies **The 1990s were a fascinating moment for music and new idioms of experimental music began to bubble in the underground. While often belonging to highly localized scenes and thus overlooked by a broad listenership in the moment, many of these gestures have proven to be profoundly important and influential and have left an indelible mark on the musical landscapes that have followed in their wake. Particularly notable among others C.C.C.C.'…

Neuro Habitat
Quality reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the \'soundtrack\' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It\'s the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts.
\"In order to create this sound system, I used the conduc…
