Contrastate - Handbags & Dada (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "The now defunct influential UK project played only a few live shows during their existence, but they put a lot of effort into making them something out of the ordinary. The third installment in our Contrastate series is a live CD which covers three different phases in the band's history from 1989 to their last ever performance in 2000. Tracks previously available on vinyl and cassette as well as one world premiere recording from Camden Palace in London."
(CD, clear jewel case, $15.00, last copy)

Contrastate - Todesmelodie (Noise Museum)
Sixth and final studio album by this sadly defunct UK duo. Inspired by the book "The Mysteries of Algiers" written by Robert Irwin and the 1965 film "The Battle of Algiers", "Todesmelodie" presents itself as a rumination on revolution and political strife in the shape of 4 long montages of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, found sounds and harmonic drones that culminate with "The Suitcase or the Coffin", named so after one of the slogans of the Algerian nationalists during the drive for independence. Haunting, desolate and demanding, this album initially provoked an unexpected sense of anxiety when I first heard it many years ago, enough in fact that it wasn't until I had later become accustomed to Contrastate's other works that I came to appreciate it for its uneasy nature.
