Post-Asiatic: Lost War Dream Music
2007 release ** "After my recent trip to Asia, my interest in oriental music has definitely greatly increased and then this release fell into my lap... Serendipity or coincidence, I eagerly went through this double bill, listening to all the nuances and influences I could trace back to my trip or recognize the origin of... There is definitely a lot going on but sadly the recording quality didn't seem to have always been determining factor in the choice of material. The release is dubbed as a CD …
Jane And The Magic Bananas
2012 release ** It seems to me they are using the ’no wave/no new york’ format of a slightly more pop-like character, sans any vocals of course. Nervous hectic playing on all three instruments, but occasionally leaping into a bit of a rock mode, all in a very free reign of play. Jazzy also times, but not as much as one could all too easily think. Quite a vibrant and energetic release. Exactly the right Ultra spirit, but then from Montréal. It's the 18th publication - out of 24, one for each hour…
Collision Drive
Collision Drive is Alan Vega's second solo studio album, originally released in 1981. If his debut laid the groundwork for a raw, minimalist take on rockabilly and blues, Collision Drive expands the palette with a grittier, more layered, and unfiltered energy. Here Vega's lyrics channel universal themes rooted in his fascination with street life, science fiction, politics, comics, love and the mysteries of the universe. It's a record that pulses with feeling and rebellion, displaying the full sp…
Alan Vega (Deluxe Edition)
Alan Vega's self-titled debut solo album, originally released in 1980, marked a bold new chapter for one of New York's most influential and uncompromising voices. On his solo debut, Vega dove headfirst into the roots of his personal sound, fueled by blues, rockabilly, and his enduring love for Elvis Presley. Stripped of Suicide's confrontational electronics but retaining Vega's outsider energy and voice, the album translates early rock `n roll through an art-punk filter and stands as a cult mast…
Alan Vega
Alan Vega's self-titled debut solo album was released in 1980 during the same period Suicide released their second album, Suicide: Alan Vega and Martin Rev. While Suicide's label ZE Records was interested in pushing the duo toward a synthetic disco sound inspired by Moroder's production on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," Vega felt a pull in a different direction. He wanted to dig deeper into the roots of his own sonic identity, fueled by blues, rockabilly, early rock n roll, and his enduring love …

Aktion No 1
2014 release ** "Aktion No. 1 features the live testimony of an open collective, as well as the union and welding of the various souls behind the three labels involved and the various related projects, on this occasion represented by A Happy Death, Autocancrena, Cassandra, IRS and Negativeself. We had the opportunity to receive a first taste of this collaboration at the Glue-Lab in Ancona during the mini-festival Roma Soffre, and we find within this tape the result of his performance at Dal Verm…

2010 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "Heavy Fierce Brightness is the name of a project by the experimental music artist GOG (Michael Bjella), known for its dark ambient, blackened psychedelic doomdrift, and drone sounds. The project's work, such as the 2008 release Heavy Fierce Brightness - Spells Of The Sun, is part of a larger body of work by GOG that uses source sounds and immersive atmospheres to create "blackened psychedelic doomdrift dronelords."
Crimson Umbrella
2007 release ** "What if Z’ev had written the intro to Darkthrone’s Blaze In The Northern Sky? With that question in mind Finland’s Rakhim unearth Crimson Umbrella, a two-track fit of kraut-noise psychosis, schizophrenic percussive clatter and layers of effects and over-processed vocal chants and screams. The nightmarish deconstruction of “Transylvanian Error” and “Ultimate Sword” bare only trace elements of main members Krypt and Rudimentor’s day jobs in Circle and Pharaoh Overlord, with Rakhim…
Process And Reality
2016 release ** "Three founding fathers of experimental music join forces to conjure an unholy serenade for a society on the verge of collapse on Process and Reality, an hourlong whirlwind of pessimistic prophecy transformed into a heady monolith of sound. Boundary-stretching guitarist Richard Pinhas, founder of the influential French electronic-rock band Heldon, teams with two icons of the Japanese avant-garde – drummer Tatsuya Yoshida, mastermind of warped-prog legends Ruins, Koenjihyakkei and…
Der Ruf
2006 release ** "Five years after the release of Sal Solaris' first album "Outerpretation Of Dreams" on the Austrian label Hau Ruck!, Der Angriff and Indiestate are pleased to present the second CD of this magnificent Russian industrial project. The music of "Solnechnaya Sol" can be called "power ambient" - deep and penetrating, without obvious rhythm or noise, it does not have a calming meditative effect, but a powerful and active impact. The closest comparisons include Reutoff, Stalnoy Pakt or…

The Shame Of Being A Child
2005 release ** "Looking up Jesus of Nazareth's "The Shame of Being a Child", I found it oddly classified as grindcore. I suppose some of the music has a disposition in common with such freaked out 'cyber grind' bands as Agoraphobic Nosebleed, but here guitars (usually the focus of the genre) are completely absent, replaced with excess distortion on the monkey-simple drum programming and numerous forboding samples and electronic sounds which come at the listener in a rapid fire barrage, one af…
Artificial Dance
2015 release ** "The story of electronic music pioneer Kerry Leimer continues with a focus on his auteurist studio project Savant. Compiling the standalone album, 1983’s The Neo Realist (At Risk), with Savant’s debut 12″ and a grip of compilation and unreleased tracks, Artificial Dance documents Leimer’s complete collaborative venture into the unpredictable realities of music, exploring the gulf between what is expected by its creators and what is eventually – and eternally – committed to tape. …
