The 80s Archives
2024 Stock. 300 copies limited edition. Japan release only. ** “It all started in 1979 when the punk scene was in full bloom and we, the youthful dilletants believed that changing the world included a hit on a cooking pot, some weird strumming of a distorted acoustic guitar or screaming from the top of the lungs. We were anti Art, but Dadaists, hated politics but were political, anti-pretty but extremely vain, anti-Rock and anti-conformist.” This is how Jürgen Schweighart describes the beginning…

Horror of the Hexham Heads
The Night Monitor deftly constructs an auditory labyrinth, intertwining layers of analog synthesis and spectral ambience. Drawing inspiration from the obscure landscapes of 1970s electronic experimentation and the spectral echoes of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop to create an immersive experience that resonates with the unknown. From the dissonant whispers to the pulsating rhythms, "Horror of the Hexham Heads" invites listeners to navigate the murky waters of the unexplained, delving deep into the…
Brain Flakes
After achieving some decent notoriety, and not only in Italy, as an electro-pop duo (thanks mainly to the single 'Short Wave, a small 'classic' in the early years of that decade), between January 1982 and March 1983 Ruins morphed into a new five members line-up. With this fresh option, Ruins restructured the previous repertoire and produced entirely new material. The original 4 track recording had remained largely unpublished at the time and seemed irretrievably lost. However, thanks to persist…
Saturnalia
"Saturnalia sounds like looking into a crystal ball and seeing your past, present, and future all splayed out for you to contemplate and get a little woozy over. McKeown creates a patchwork of dream sequences and woozy psychedelia that range from low key groove and floating-in-space cosmic horror. “Electronic folk horror” was how it was described to me, and I gotta say I can get on board with that description. But there’s much more happening here. Moments I’m reminded of Colin Stetson’s excellen…

The Nation's Most Central Location
The fourth Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan album, The Nation's Most Central Location, sees Gordon Chapman-Fox explore the north-south divide and reflect on 40 years of broken 'levelling up' promises. With eight tracks across 40 minutes, the album offers Gordon's usual mix of mournful remorse and upbeat optimism. Gordon has now added an underlying anger that burns through on tracks such as London's Moving Our Way and A Brighter And More Prosperous Future.
Gordon says, “When I was a c…

Detached Engagement
The collection of songs that make up ‘Detached Engagement’ are our most personal and emotionally revealing tracks. Recorded over a period of emotional turbulence where we lost loved ones and uncertainty seemed the only constant. Our studio became a hide away, a place of refuge where we could direct our energies into a creative act of understanding and hope. We reconfigured our subversive pop to fit our present situation, the distortion was dialled back, the gauzy tape worn ambiguity was replaced…

Synth Soundtrack (A Sick Soundtrack Re-Work)
Tip! Synth Soundtrack is a re-work of Sick Soundtrack, the first album by Gaznevada, the legendary new wave no wave rock dance punk band of the 70s-80s. The Sick Soundtrack multitrack no longer exists, it was lost many years ago: no multitrack no remixes.
And, in fact, Synth Soundtrack is NOT a remix. No possibility of removing or correcting sounds, synthesizers, rhythms, it was only possible to add. Basically today’s Gaznevada played together with original Gaznevada. A time machine jam …
The Flow Across Borders
*2023 stock* Ali O’May and Frazer Brown met in early 2018 while performing with their respective bands at an Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM) gig in Edinburgh. With obvious common interests, further discussions lead a few months later to Ali passing Frazer a USB drive filled with stems recorded directly from Ali’s vast modular system. Across August and September 2019, Frazer used about a dozen of those stems as the foundation for a set of tracks, building them into fully realised pieces across a…
