Offerings
**200 copies** Gods of Rain explores textural improvisation for electric guitar and percussion/vocals. Brooding, arcane and foreboding, it navigates the turbulent waters of dark ambient and more abstract electronic music, swamped in swashes of caustic improv.
Recorded in Berlin in 2005 without overdubs and live in the studio, this is electrifying listening that knows no boundaries. At times meditative and filigree-like, at others abrasive and drenched in explosions of molten lava. The ultimate m…

Optical Cadillac - The Granitoid Panics
A split 10inch with Jean-Philippe Gross on one side and Golden Oriole on the other. The first one delivers 7’30” of an impulsive electronic quicksand where everything seems unstable and elusive, with that strange feeling of not knowing if you are moving forward or not, or that experience of a “non-Newtonian fluid” – a fluid you can walk on. In short, we are between immobility and speed, between raw materials and etheric frequencies!
The second Golden Oriole, Thore Warland, drums, and Kristoffer …

The result was one of the most famous erotic and dramatic films ever, subject of endless censorship and …
