Teho Teardo - Tower / Microphone (Final Muzik)
This album was recorded using an elaborate set-up of 24 contact microphones placed over various parts of the ancient "Ospedale dei Battuti" tower in San Vito al Tagliamento, Italy.
The 24 microphones were then plugged into a PA system and processed by manipulating the volume faders and several analog filters. A guitar, a Fender Rhodes piano and some electronic effects are also thrown in the mix, for an end result that is a lush tapestry of deep drones and delicate field recordings, with a melodic touch resulting from the use of these additional instruments.
This piece was commissioned in 2005 by the contemporary Art Festival Hic et Nunc.

Deathpile - G.R. (Force of Nature / Hospital)
Based around the Green River killer, this release stands out from the pile of serial-killer-of-the-week power electronics CDs for one good reason: it carries a strong sense of narrative, as if you're a witness to the proceedings. As the context changes, so does the sound, evolving and shifting from walls of noise and confrontational (yet fully articulated) vocals to dense collages of assorted testimonies.

STROM.ec - Laboratorio Suomi (Live 1998-2002) (Freak Animal)

Haus Arafna - Butterfly (Galakthorrö)
Long awaited third release from this cult project. Less confrontational than "Children of God" but their most brutally raw and emotional work so far. Strongly recommended.
(CD, to be restocked soon)
November Növelet - From Heaven on Earth (Galakthorrö)
Songs of beauty, despair and hatred from this Haus Arafna side-project. Another release of the strongest caliber from Galakthorrö.

Haus Arafna - The Singles 1993-2000 (Galakthorrö)
A compilation of all the tracks from the sold-out vinyl singles (sex u mas, take one get two, the last dream of jesus, für immer), remastered and gathered in a nicely presented package. Includes the hits happy thrill, you die, the last dream of jesus, paranoia and für immer.
(CD, clear jewel case, to be restocked soon)
Various Artists - Kosmoloko (Galakthorrö)
Celebrating the 10th birthday of Galakthorrö, this compilation brings together two new and exclusive tracks from Haus Arafna, November Növelet, Subliminal, Karl Runau and newcomer Maska Genetik. Only one copy left.
(CD, to be restocked soon)
Subliminal - Gracebudd (Galakthorrö)
Ridiculously overlooked project that perfectly matches the label's roster while adding its own distinct characteristics to it. Gracebudd is the sound of muffled cries, gasps for air, tape hiss and distant screams overlayed with undulating low-frequency pulses. The result has a deranged autistic appeal to it.
(CD, clear jewel case, 16.00 €, last copy)

Karl Runau - Beyond Frequencies (Galakthorrö)
In the Galakthorrö family, Karl Runau could fit the role of the silent professor with a compulsive obession for minimal analog electro. This album was recorded between 1994 - 1998, and tracks vary from punchy beatbox pieces to brooding synth noodlings, all with that certain Galakthorrö touch.

November Növelet - Magic (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "This magically-charged jewel of electronic music consists of twelve new songs. The analogue foundation combines with electric vibraphone and 8-bit surrealism transformed into sound. Melancholic synthesiser melodies and the ethereal voice of Mrs. Arafna melt into a fragile beauty with emotional depth. Unpretentious and lost, a gripping experience.
In spite of all this exploration of the depths, there is also the opportunity to roll up the carpet. Mr. and Mrs. Arafna have conjured up a few dance hits, which because of their minimalism and cultured morbid charm, should kick off the party mood for the creatures of the night. These contrast well with the slow pieces – tinged with a breath of experimentation, resulting in a many-faceted, and at the same time very balanced, Angst Pop album. The long time in waiting for the release of this new record will soon be forgotten in sheer listening pleasure."
(CD, multi-paneled digipak + 16-page booklet, to be restocked soon)
