Can You Defeat the Ruler of the Tower of Terror?
Heimat Der Katastrophe presents "Can You Defeat the Ruler of the Tower of Terror?" by Tragacorgios."In your fourth year at the Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria, you are becoming bored. You have learned a great deal of magic, of the power of reason, and the martial arts. Now you yearn for a challenge.
You have heard stories of the town of Darkblood, to the East, apparently ruled over by a great but very evil Wizard. You recall that Eleutheria had spoken briefly only once about this Wizard, …

Breathe
This album is the full soundtrack to Liza Hughes' documentary film 'Swimming Through Darkness' retitled 'Breathe' for this release. Like all of Steve Nolan's scores, the melodies here are hauntingly beautiful and suffused with emotion, waves of sound ebbing and flowing like the ocean itself.
The cinematic score builds with pulsing synth pads and droplet-like piano motifs, framing the thematic events of the film, which include moonlit swimming.
As surf pounds the north coast of Ireland in the dar…
From Darkness
*150 copies limited edition* Erik K Skodvin summons his alter ego Svarte Greiner for a dive into the dark, wintery Swedish forest with the score to the psychological thriller/horror film “From Darkness” (orig: Ur Mörkret).
The film is director Philip W. Da Silva's debut and is set largely at night, deep in a Swedish nature reserve where mining used to take place. Loss, mental health and Nordic mythology come together in a story that revolves around the search for a missing woman. The score foll…
And the Sun
As humankind strives to create artificial intelligence what will faith, love, or morality look like to a nascent consciousness? Will it be capable of understanding its creators who often hold logic and superstition within themselves? In return how will humans comprehend its hallucinations? And the Sun, a ball of hot plasma oblivious to our existence continually burns hydrogen until it runs out and swallows its three closest neighbours. Fresh from his music (as featured on these records) being pi…
Cobra
"On a remote gravel-covered spit of land on the east coast lie the abandoned buildings of a government facility for weapons testing and experiments with radar. In the mid 1960s this site witnessed the construction of an over-the-horizon radar, a technological marvel bouncing signals off the ionosphere, built to covertly monitor the activities of other nations. The reflectivity of the ionosphere is a function of frequency, time of day, time of year and of the solar cycle. In essence, a sympathy f…
Whitby
David Boulter, best known as a long-time member of Tindersticks, returns to Clay Pipe Music with Whitby - an evocative mini album inspired by the stark beauty and unsettling calm of England’s North Yorkshire coast. Unlike the familiar seaside towns of his youth - Great Yarmouth, Scarborough, Filey - Whitby held no particular memories for Boulter until he visited with his family in the summer of 2024. "I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings, or memories of them," he says. "Sat on an almost de…
Neon Night Ride
Where did this imagined soundtrack come from?
Let's lay down the first line of reference: Nicholas Winding Refn. Namely 'Drive', 'Neon Demon' and 'Copenhagen Cowboy'. These movies and TV show not only look amazing but have gorgeously synth heavy soundtracks.
But let's push back a bit further, and the next reference has to be John Carpenter, along with the glut of 80’s video classics like 'Exterminator', 'Cobra', 'Bronx Warriors' / 'The Warriors' and a million Italian Mad Max rip offs.
And why no…
The Ninth Circle Beyond the Sun
*300 copies limited edition* The latest album from Michael Cashmore (formerly of Current 93 plus known for his work as Nature and Organisation) collects ten pieces which, as with the previous album, 'Until the End of Vibration', released by Lumberton Trading Company, draw from that magical place where crepuscular and moody soundtrack work converges with the kind of synth lines Tangerine Dream made a name for themselves with. Along the way, there are piano-led melodic swells, a couple of surprisi…
The Wonder Of It All
"Choreographer Daniel Linehan’s ‘The Wonder Of It All’ radiates joy and togetherness. From cerebral to wildly energetic, the piece feels like a ritual that slowly transforms into a euphoric dance party. Creating the music for this was a joy. It brought me back to the nineties, when I was discovering electronic (dance) music. That feeling of wonder and discovery seemed an apt comparative to the sense of awe that Daniel and the dancers convey in ‘The Wonder Of It All’. Normally (if there is a ‘…

Streben
This is the original soundtrack by Streben RPG. The musical ensemble called Gnoll locked themselves in a damp medieval castle and pressed the "on" button on their synthesizers. This is the result: a twilight album that takes you to the foggy lands of central Europe in dark times, lands dotted with gloomy castles, ancient monasteries and forests where no one dared to venture. Inside the cassette is included an unpublished mini-adventure module for Streben RPG. Enjoy the dark medieval times of Str…

Exorcismo Electronico
Tom Hall, aka Sermons By The Devil, makes visceral electronic music the old-fashioned way: with machines. His hardware-based apocalyptic electronic music builds over longform tracks in modular-made percussive heartbeats and wavering synth melodies. It's meditative, hypnotic, and a singular sound.
With his Library Of The Occult debut Exorcismo Electrónico, Hall takes Sermons By The Devil into everything from apocalyptic tomes, electro funk excursions, and hip hop-adjacent beats, all meant to put …
