Silence
**300 copies in six panels digipack** Best Industrial Power Electronics muzak with a deep spirituality from the lands of the rising sun! “Incapable God in silence, I am slavebreed hating paranoid”. This comment is the subject of Silence album, the tracks and music. "God in silence" was inspired by an old book “Night" by Elie Wiesel where the author wrote “I could not accept God in silence”. Slavebreeding is the modern Japanese order (or better said the modern world order). People is looking at t…

Simulacra
"First released in 1989 as a tape on the legendary German label Cthulhu Records and re-released in 1998 by OEC as limited vinyl, this legendary album by Ain Soph and Sigillum S finally sees the light for the first time on CD format. An absolute masterpiece of Ritual Music by those two primer Italian post-industrial acts."
Finis Gloriae Mundi
"Long time in the making. 16 years after Oktober and 26 after the seminal Aurora here comes a new chapter in the Ain Soph cult discography. Six surprising and very mature tracks. Sounds range from Velvet Undergound'isch Psychedelia to Dark-industrial, from European Cabaret to Beating-Danceable rhythms, from Crooner songs to Esoteric-Ritual... But most of all the entire album has this unique "magic and spiritual" feeling that only Ain Soph can create. Special guests: Vocals on "Ombre nel Silenzio…
Aurora
"After the first edition back in 1992 on Cthulhu Records, and the OEC re-edition in 2003 here comes the 3rd edition of this very seminal album! As for the first re-edition, to the album was added one unreleased exclusive track recorded during the same first Aurora recording sessions but never used on any album nor compilations. This album is to be considered a pioneers opera of neo-folk cabaret which has influenced many artists. A very controversial and politically incorrect album talking about …
Oktober
"Finally here comes a re-edition of this great Ain Soph album! This new edition comes with a completely new designed artwork and an additional 3" miniCD containing a new audio track recorded in 2008 + a video track! The comeback of the Roman masters with the Aurora follower album : Oktober. A unique blend of Italian cabaret and true Italian folk songs. All is sung in Italian with Ain Soph's usual acoustic instrumentation and their typical keyboards... Songs in the way of Aurora but with an addit…
III
"This stuff was previously produced by the band only as tape in a very limited edition of just 100 copies and never reissued... until now! This legendary tape is finally re-released as a 2CD set. First disc features Ritual 00, which is an endless trancy loop used for a Bhakti Yoga rite which can be used also as background for ritual concentration... The second disc is entitled The failure of Jesus, Visible Obscurity, Garbage, the City and the Death... For sure the more obscure and rare Ain Soph …
Mr. Nightbird Hates Blueberries
"A dark comedy or a folk drama about drunk birds, mocking spiders, empty bottles and lost souls. Starring David E. Williams, Lloyd James, Sonne Hagal, Future Whirl, Die Weisse Rose. A strange manuscript, telling a tale about some bizarre characters, found somewhere in a forgotten cellar and hidden by countless broken bottles, was the inspiring spark for this dark comedy or folk drama-as the subtitles suggest-set to music in order to show how love can be a faint illusion and the deepest of all wo…

This album is entitled Marmo (Marble for Italian) and is devoted to the Italian and particularly the Venetian marble.

Chaosphere
**2020 stock** "Finally available for the very first time, exactly 15 years after its completion, here it is T.A.C.'s lost album Chaosphere. Recorded between November 1997 and February 1998 in New York City, Chaosphere was planned to be the sequel of Apotropaismo (also out on OEC) disclosing, in typical T.A.C. style, the "other side" of that album: gone were the lush and variated instrument array leaving room to a grey and menacing cloud of analogue electronics and sparse ambient samples. For th…

Enthralled by the Wind of Loneliness
**2020 stock** "Unveiled, the verge of the silence, the voice of the shadow; the cynosure of the psyche is trembling for the essential breath. A subliminal reborn of invisible light strikes the eyes as the underpass appears in the essence and escarps into the esoteric realm of the source of life. A subliminal summon from disappearing heart enthralls the wind of loneliness. Lost spirit leaves deep traces behind as the path is revealing. Circle within circle the lingering path transubstantiates os…
Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations
**2020 stock** "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude. Layers of ethereal atmospheres and the collage of choirs, strings, bells and occasional voices slowly bleed together to create music for society whose spirituality has been rendered imp…
Tales from the Tabula Rasa - Early Works 1988-1991
**2020 stock** "This is not a new album! This does not sound like Raison d'être! This is Raison d'être from another time and world! Tales from the Tabula Rasa presents Raison d'être in its earliest form, when there was no past and only future. This was the birth of Raison d'être and the creative music mind of Peter Andersson. In one way it can be seen as the first particles to the seed that later became the established Raison d'être sound in the 1990's. In the other way it can be seen as the evi…
Metamorphyses - Expanded Edition

Metamorphyses is the key to the psyche."Hypnotic, introspective and yet more difficult. Being the seventh full-lenght album from Raison d’être, M…

Palestine

The production also supports the justified struggle for a truly free Palestinian nation, a key issue for a middle-east liberated from foreign interference. Music was the modus operandi Muslimgauze wanted to carry the message and music is the medium we want to continue to convey the legacy. This regular edition is in-fact also a special edition d…
