Pacific 231 - 1983-85 Compendium 2CD ( Functional: Functional017)
 |
This DCD Compendium is a selective collection of early 80's Pacific 231 works, a project of note who must surely be recognized as one of the early pioneers of industrial and power electronic music. For this release, more than 48 hours of recordings coming from reel-to-reel tapes have been unveiled and carefully converted to recover two hours worth of material. The production has been split in two parts as the 1st CD is Studio and the 2nd is Live. As a matter of interest, for the "Unusual Perversions" fans out there, a good percentage of the archives are circa 1984 and unreleased. Primitive sound exploration and atmospheres featuring mildly corrosive and distorted analogue electronics, industrial klank, and a somewhat limited, yet effective use of hallucinatory manipulations; delay, loops, feedback. Notable as well though for some ambient passages that really hold up pretty well. The influence on acts like Illusion of Safety and The Klinik can definitely be felt here, and quite honestly, this sounds a lot less dated than some other works from the same era.. $18.66

Panther Modern - Sex Murders CDr ( Scrape Tapes: Scrape015)
 |
Any attempt to pidgeonhole the New Jersey based trio Panther Modern's latest opus and second full length album is futile. "Sex Murders" is a phrase used by Don DeLillo in White Noise to describe mass hysteria during a public event. In the past, Panther Modern has tried to live the hysteria inherent within noise by making a project based around cultural terrorism, Satanism, and free improvisation, i.e., the most important things in life. Sex Murders documents their most successful experiments to date in over 3 years of dedicated debauch. Sex Murders transgresses through blackened noise, power electronics, metal percussion, industrial filth and doom all held together with pyschedelic lulling synthesizers and even harsh noise wall, but all heard through the hypnagogic vortex. Live the dream until your life becomes a nightmare from which you cannot awaken.Limited to a hand numbered edition of 100 copies. Labeled disc comes packaged in a black glossy card sleeve with pro-printed front and back covers, sealed in a plastic wallet.. $5.00

Panzar - Pratotypon ( Old Europa Café: OECD078)
 |
Pratotypon is the final statement for Panzar, the OTHER harsh side project of Peter Andersson (Raison DEtre), though not AS harsh as Stratvm Terror, nor as complex.. Features 5 live tracks, early, unreleased prototypes, and a Panzar re-mix of Folkstorm's Victory or Death track! Minimalistic to start, but slowly builds, getting more agitated as it goes, with gritty frequency drones, throbbing pulsations, and scourging industrial clangor.. $14.99

Paranoia Inducta - Evil Angel ( Beast of Prey: BOP7.2)
 |
New release from one of the most under appreciated and under rated dark atmospheric projects going. PI consistently manages to capture the post industrial bleakness of the early CMI ambient sound as done by Archona Satani, Inanna, and even Morthound to some degree, yet keeps his own unique sound intact. Eerie, blackened soundscapes, heavy on the reverb, with ritualistic vocal drones, ominous strings, foreboding subterranean clangs and plenty of dank murk. Recommended!. $9.00

Paranoia Inducta - Pia Fraus ( Beast of Prey: BOP5.8)
 |
Pia Fraus is second part of the Lux Mundi trilogy. This trilogy is a tribute to all those who died, were killed, deceived, humiliated and oppressed by the Catholic Church . It's a tribute to all those victims who instead of love and hope were given torment and death. I can basically justcut and past the description from Gloria Laus as it applies here as well, so here you go: " bleak dark ambient,swelling, echoed drones, ritual voices, and plenty of those haunted factory scurryings and clangs that I just can't resist. Features input from eLL (SUI GENERIS UMBRA) and Robert Marciniak (Rukkanor". The CD is uniquely packaged - red cover with 12-page booklet filled with graphics marching every track. The booklet inside is a specially designed cross-shaped envelope and sealed . Limited edition of 444 pieces.Reminds me of Atrium Carceri to some degree, though certainly not derivative. Impressive output from Poland, yet again!. $6.00

Parhelion - Midnight Sun ( Cyclic Law: 30thCycle)
 |
Canada's Parhelion first full length album "Midnight Sun" is a collection of sonic reflections on the natural geography and harsh climate of the arctic terrain. Perhaps more so, it is also a meditation on the sacred quality of this mysterious land and man's relationship to it. Inspired both by the physical beauty as well as the mystic spirit which shrouds the northern landscapes, the album is the culmination of several years of studio experimentation and sound exploration. Blending guitar drones, icy synth pads and environmental sounds, "Midnight Sun" attempts to convey the solemn spirit of awe and reverence for the great white north through the use of sound and texture. Edition of 1000 copies in 6 panel Digipack.12 Tracks. Running Time 60:00. $12.66

Passione Nera - Research EP ( Cold Meat Industry: CMI185)
 |
The "Research EP" marks the first offering from the ever-growing Roman outfit Passione Nera.Originally conceived by Andy in the dying days of 2005, it would not be until the spring of the following year that the band took its first steps, and embarked on a journey that would eventually see the project evolve into a 4-piece band (by early 2007). Initially, the songs were stripped-down acoustic guitar compositions with the occasional addition of piano, accordion or organ. However, as the band grew and expanded, the songs were redefined and their sound changed.Today, Passione Nera has evolved from a folk-pop creature into a fully-fledged chamber-pop ensemble. The band keeps one watery alcoholic eye fixed on the cinematic tradition, with melodic landscapes that are dusty and melancholy. These melodious scenes are then wrapped up in lush, orchestrated songs with acoustic and electric guitars taking the center stage, and additionally enhanced by a large array of other instruments. It is as if these songs were written on the backs of 1960s postcards brought back from some imaginary journey into Americana, then bred with French-pop, cross-fertilized with baroque-pop, and finally molded into a soundtrack for the broken-hearted, the disenchanted and the misunderstood.The "Research EP" features appearances by Simone "Hellvis" Salvatori (guest vocals on "Sinking"), and Piergiorgio "PJ" Ambrosi (additional arrangements and co-production) of older brothers Spiritual Front, and will be released as digipak CD-single and limited 7" vinyl.. $3.50

PBK/Josh Lay - Collaborative CD ( Syndrom Records: Syn005CD)
 |
A new self titled split CD sees the collaboration of two artists on this release for Syndrom Records. American composer, Phillip B. Klingler, better known as PBK, has been active in the experimental music underground since 1986. His soundwork correlates to electroacoustic, classic industrial and free jazz genres. PBK has fashioned a noise-based music that doesn't rely on power electronics process, but rather, by placing noises themselves into ambient/atmospheric sound environments. His soundworks are composed from turntable manipulation, sampling and analog/digital synthesis. Improvising spontaneously and with little preconception, PBK creates pulsing, echoing, organic soundscapes of unknown sonic origin. Josh Lay combines his horror-noise approach with PBK's psychedelic synth improvisation into a deep, forbidding soundscape.. $11.00

Penjaga Insaf - Sama Sadja ( Power & Steel: PAS27)
 |
For several years Ingo Sauerbrey made extensive travels through Indonesia, always carrying recording equipment to collect sounds as an audio diary. During periodic return trips to Germany, he started to work on the recordings with electronic devices. Some sounds were edited, cut and transformed, while others were kept completely intact. To name a few sound sources only recordings from Water Puppet and Shadow Theatres, Gamelan and various welcoming and fighting dances like Kecak, Jegog and the Tarian Caci were used for this album. Some of those impressive performances were made of 60 to 90 men chanting and dancing while a bamboo orchestra used 4 meter long bamboo sticks playing bass drums on it. Sada SAdja is weaving together the sounds of living traditions, religions and languages with spherical ambient pads and electronically edited drones from the field recordings. This is an contemplative and intimate soundtrack from the deepest heart of South East Asia. LOKI/PaS. $13.77

Persona - Ruines ( Marbe Negra: MN04)
 |
After multiple comp appearances and several CDrs (as well as a collaboration with Eldar on their CMI CD), here we have the formal debut of this Spanish male/female duo.Stylistically this is pretty varied - the bane of my existence when I have to write my own review for the catalog. But, it's made easier by the fact that Persona manages to do all styles very well over the course of Ruines 19 (!) tracks. So, what do have here exactly? Really, a bit of everything - pagan style ritual ambient (think early Wolfskin to some degree), gothic twinged neo-classical with soaring strings and angelic vocals, martial orchestrations, and passages of some good old fashioned industrial clangor. Put that all together and you'd think it wouldn't work, and yet it does - as long as you don't get settled into one mood for too long a stretch.

Peter Andersson (Raison d'Etre) - Music for Film and Exhibition II ( Old Europa Café: OECD135)
 |
'Music for Film and Exhibition II' is the sequel of 'Music for Film and Exhibition' (Yantra Atmospheres, 2007). While the previous output contains collected works from different exhibition projects and movies spanning from 1999-2005, this sequel is focused on one single project; an exhibition. Peter Andersson has lately worked as a media producer at Swedish Air Force Museum and being involved with their new large permanent exhibiton about the Cold War. Within this project Peter has worked with sound design and movie production in particular. The sonic results are presented on 'Music for Film and Exhibition II'. Some of the tunes are used as soundtrack for exhibition movies while the main part are sonic atmospheres and soundscapes to create the ambience of the exhibition rooms. The music is presented here as stand alone productions, displaced from its original context. To fully experience the music in its environmental Raison d'être there is no other way but to travel to the Swedish Air Force Museum. Until then, you may enjoy the music on its own.'Music for Film and Exhibition II' is like a levelled declitre of Raison d'Etre, a brimful tablespoon of Atomine Elektrine, a couple of teaspoons of Necrophorus and a little bit of this and little bit of that, mixed into a perfect blend of many tastes. Peter Andersson, well-known from projects like Raison d'être, Stratvm Terror, Necrophorus and Atomine Elektrine, shows here broad spectrum of sonic atmospheres, like if all of his different music projects were combined into one. From ambient-drone-textures and electronic chill-out to concrete sounds to even pure atmopsheric piano tunes.The CD comes in a six panel digipak covered with beautiful Sunset painting by italian artist Christian Montagna/FLOODSart.. $14.33

Peter Bjargo - The Architecture of Melancholy ( Cyclic Law: 41stCycle)
 |
Peter Bjärgö, the man behind the now legendary groups ARCANA and SOPHIA is back with his second solo album. On his first solo release "A wave of Bitterness", we got a glimpse into the mind of a thoughtful person. Now this new release, "The Architecture Of Melancholy", we are sent onto a journey to the darkest depths of Peter's mind and thoughts. Melancholy was once a disease, a mental statement of chronic depression, we are now facing this illness again around the world and this album is a real journey with the melancholic mind. Titles like Bitteresque, Apathy and The Death Of Our Sun give us an idea of the aural voyage ahead. The delicate blend of soft guitars, engulfing dark ambient and the sheer power of Peter's voice make this album a shining diamond among stones. Hope is all that is left...Edition of 700 copies in 8 panel digipack. 7 Tracks. Running Time 40:30. $12.66

Phaenon - His Master's Voice ( Malignant: TumorCD45)
 |
After the well received debut Submerged, Phaenon follows things up with an even deeper immersion into a world of bleak, isolationist sounds. Whereas Submerged was one long and infinitely expansive drone piece, His Master’s Voice is broken up into four separate, but flowing tracks of sprawling and spacious ambient drift, laced with interstellar disturbances, probing, alien tones and icy shards of celestial debris…a whirling specter of darkness and void-ic space, thematically based upon the 1968 novel of the same name by Stanislaw Lem, which is centered around the efforts by scientists to decode, translate and understand a series of extraterrestrial transmissions. As a whole, His Master’s Voice represents a logical progression in Phaenon’s sound and is the ultimate in headphone listening. In gorgeous 6 panel digipak.. $9.00

Phaenon - Submerged ( Malignant: TumorCD30)
 |
With the debut release from Phaenon, it is immediately evident a heavyweight has arrived. The brainchild of Polish born, but current Maryland resident, Szymon Tankiewicz, Submerged is a dark ambient tour de force. Visually and sonically enveloping, this is an album of space and texture, slowly revealing a psychoactive soundscape of majestic, arcing timbres, circadian buzzes, and expansive drones. Heavy, and cosmically weighty in the beginning, Submerged evolves into something more minimalist and serene, radiating a celestial beauty, yet becoming even more bleak and suffocating as it progresses over it's 66 minute time frame. Experienced from start to finished, theres a palpable sense of drifting and drowning, of being carried away into an endless, interstellar vacuum. An exciting new project, and a must for dark ambient purists. Check out Phaenon's myspace page for excerpts of new works at www.myspace.com/szymontankiewicz. In stylish 6 panel digipak, artwork by K. Enderlein (LOKI), mastered by Thomas Garrison... $6.00

Phase II - Afterglow ( Ahnstern: Ahnstern29)
 |
has been a little over thirty years since the inception and all-too-brief life span of Phase II, the progressive-folk band founded by Mark Andrews (Blue Grass) and Nicholas Tesluk (Changes). Since that time, only the five selections on their self-titled, blue vinyl, extended-play record (and a handful of songs featured in recent anthology appearances) have found an audience outside of the venues where the group performed live during their original three-year tenure. That is about to change!As the piece de resistance of Phase II's artistic career to date, the band's new album Afterglow has arrived, introducing modern listeners to their unique and timeless mixture of varied musical stylings. Included in this expansive release are six songs from their original repertoire - in some cases, songs only rehearsed, but never before performed in any venue - all recorded here for the very first time. As a special reprise, all of the songs from the blue vinyl record (now long out-of-print) have been enhanced and included on the Afterglow album. And to bring things full-circle, Phase II is also proud to present a recording of its first all-new song of the twenty-first century on this compact disc.To round out an already-generous Phase II presentation, the album concludes with "Candle in the Night", their complete pre-progressive, conceptual radio program from 1978 (two songs of which were included on 2004's Tonwerk Flammenzauber 2 CD). The Afterglow package includes an attractive booklet featuring full lyrics, as well as an anecdotal history of the band in text and photos.Whether during their "folk duo" period, or as a full progressive band, the original warmth of the music of Phase II was felt all-too-briefly and by all-too-few. Afterglow is a comprehensive retrospective of their original songs. Now that Nicholas and Mark have reunited in this "Digital Age", may it also provide a launch pad for exciting new works to come.Phase II Afterglow - Thirty-two years in the making ... and not a moment too soon!. $6.00

Phelios - Astral Unity ( Malignant: TumorCD44)
 |
Following two CDs on Eternal Soul and a recent split LP on LOKI, Germany’s revered dark ambient project Phelios makes their first appearance for Malignant. With its swirling cosmic drones and sweeping, cinematic drift, the music of Phelios is breathtaking and hypnotic, often evoking moments of serenity and beauty, yet spiking them with deep cushions of ritualistic percussion and textural squalls that suggest something much more ominous and threatening looms on the vast horizon. Collectively, Astral Unity is thoughtful and concise – a vivid and richly detailed entity that’s alive and constantly evolving, channeling the universe while simultaneously exploring the inner regions of a more primordial earth.

Phragments - Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood ( Malignant: TumorCD37)
 |
Youve seen it before. Certain bands or artists delivering their finest work with their first recording. Then, in futile attempts to capture some of the same magic, becoming formulaic and stale, rehashing ideas and never really achieving the same caliber of work. Others, expanding on the elements of their prior releases, and through a natural maturation process, get stronger with each release. That would certainly be the case with Phragments. With their third full length studio CD, this Slovakian duo have made remarkable strides not only in quality but in scope. Equipped with an enriched sonic palate, Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood mixes forceful brass and dark orchestral strings with rolls of powerful tribal percussion, somber wind instrumentation, ominous atmospheres, industrial clangor, and a strong and commanding vocal presence, particularly on tracks like Over Deadlands and The Kin of Cain. Cohesive, complete, and epic, this is a release that will open some eyes to new found authority of Phragments. Yours to discover. In 6 panel digipak.. $10.00

Phragments & Korinth - Mysteries of the Greylands ( Greytone: Grey01)
 |
Always nice to get some new sounds from Phragments, even if it is in collaborative form, which in this case, is with fellow Slovakian, Korinth, whose Sign of Eternal Return CD we heaped praises on several years ago. A pretty natural blending of styles here - the flowing orchestral drones of Korinth seemlessly merging with the more cinematic and ominous stylings of Phragments. It is more graceful and not as bombastic as I was thinking it might be, but still, beautifully executed and well conceived.. $7.00

Pietro Riparbelli K11 - Radiodrama|Collapse CD+ Soundpackage ( Radical Matters: RMLE011)
 |
A special concept album utilizing incredible and original radio signals as source materials as recorded in different parts of the world by: Bad Sector, Strange Attractor, Clausthome, Galerie Schallschutz, Simm-el, and others. Recomposed by Pietro Riparbelli, focusing on the esoteric side of electromagnetic activities (ITC, EVP, and trans-dimensional phenomena) all around us. Here's what Pietro has to say about his own work: Im dedicating to sound study related to the environment, with particular reference to concrete music, to phenomenology of perception and invisible phenomena. Currently Im dedicating to the world of radio transmission and communication using only sound sources from short wave radio receivers and other types of signals. PT-R and K 11 are two parallel projects. PT-R is a project that deals with the way to create sound landscapes making the use of environmental sounds (field recordings). In this project I use only sounds coming from the world. K 11 is a project that deals with the world of radio signals, the trans-communication and other invisible phenomena, to create a dimension where the only sound sources are signals from shortwave radio receivers. In this project I use only sounds coming from the atmosphere and from invisible places. ". $8.00

With 6 full-length albums, one lp, remixes for various artists and countless appearances on numerous compilations Proyecto Mirage have made a name for themselves and take their firm position in the present industrial music scene.

Proyecto Mirage's musical concept definitely has more variation and inventive usage of elements than the most in the genre: repetitive hammering kick drums, rubbery bass power, blasting beat structures, buzzsaw synths and noisy sound layers unite with disturbing electronic experimentation and strong analogue textures.. $6.00

Proyecto Mirage - Turn It On ( Ant-Zen: Act215)
 |
Proyecto Mirage was founded in 1990 by Alicia H. Willen and Francisco Planellas. They were initially influenced by the classic electro-pop of the early nineties (a sound which is still present in their side project Bubble Gum) but the duo was also attracted to industrial-music projects like S.P.K., Whitehouse and - of course - Esplendor Geométrico. Their first release saw the light of day after nine years, and their creative output since then has evolved into more complexity. The hard-floor oriented aggressiveness was enriched with electronic ingredients of all kinds - ranging from electro and electronic body music to techno, drum'n'bass, or even sounds similar to those of experimental 'bridging artists' like Aphex Wwin and Pan Sonic. Artists who share P.M's's taste for alarming atmospheres, broken melodies and distorted rhythms. 'Turn It On' is the conclusion of more then ten years of progression. Lashing high-speed dance floor blasts ('Cannibal Party'), distorted eighties nostalgia (6 6 5, 9), straight breakbeat excursions ('Welcome to Life'), pounding four-to-the-floor industrial anthems ('Salvation', a collaboration with italian experimental/folk mastermind Spiritual Front), disturbing experimental-core ('Darker Bex') - this album is a perfect amalgamation of all facets of the electronic assault culture - all of which is welded together to form a powerful statement that encompasses severity as well as humorous wickedness - nobody expects the Spanish inquisition! this is what they are, this is where the project is today - take it or leave it.. $5.00
