Apatia
*200 copies limited edition* Apathy is a work to be considered "autobiographical". It contains one of the darkest periods in the life of its creator Vintras (Djinn). An endless sequence of fear / sadness / pessimism, which day after day bring the human being into a state of mind of pure apathy. A long hopeless journey, made even more sick by the fantastic collaboration of the American artist Ester Kärkkäinen alias Himukalt.
Metamorfosi Asincrona e Discontinuità Biologiche

Dreams Drenched In Static
Cremation Lily’s “Dreams Drenched in Static” exists at the horizon of consciousness and heavy experimental music. Through the use of frenetic vocal melodies, tape degradation, and guitar noise, the album documents the liminal moments at the edge of sleep, and the distressing thoughts that often accompany late-night R.E.M. disturbances. The lyrics were largely written at three in the morning and serve to evoke the depression and meditations on death that seem to haunt these early hours.

Winds Of The Dead Air
Call it favouritism or prejudice or whatever, but groups who claim to be influenced by This Heat are considered a bit of a front for yours truly...and look how predictable we are: Cape Fear belongs in this list. Cape Fear is the brainchild of Laurent Perrier who once played with the band Nox and belongs to one of the better known indus acts from France.In 1997, however, Laurent called it a day and started his solo project of which "Drift towards the heat" was the first egg. Apparently, Laurent w…

Deforms The Unborn

After researching multiple first hand accounts of demonic possession, the material that came out of all of that is basically an auditory version of a Lovecraft story. You are never quite sure what is real and what isn't, there is this constant abrasive feeling of paranoia and dread lingering in the background, stran…

(LP, 1984)Recorded over the course of 4 years during late-night, afterhours sessions at RCA's Studio @ Calle Carlos Maurrás in Madrid (one of Spain's best and bigger studio around that time), it was the result of the duo's interest in unorthodox sound-sources which they manipulated in a sort proto-sampling collage technique based on random tape-loops and best heard in their original…
Broken Masses
*300 copies limited edition* Five collaborative pieces between Gary Mundy of Ramleh/Kleistwahr/Broken Flag and Eraldo Bernocchi of Sigillum S. Combining two guitars, subtle electronics and what sounds like a voice from another dimension, rhythmic loops or serene pools of liquid sound are generated that add up to an album of immense beauty and scope. Sometimes more intense and at others almost elegiac, this work is in keeping with Gary's more recent solo work yet benefits also from Bernocchi's ow…

Music for Hippies
**100 copies limited edition. In process of stocking** "Years and years ago, I went through my collection of old cassettes and transferred many of them. Within the dark corners, I found some rarely played cassettes by De Fabriek, and when I heard those again, I realized why I hadn't played those a lot. One was with P. Funk and called 'Music For Hippies'. Today I learned that not all those old cassettes will be re-issued on CD, which I think is good. I also learned that behind P. Funk there are a…
