Neuntöter der Plage - The White Ashen (Abgurd)
Re-release of the long sold-out tape originally issued on Ryan Opperman's own Skeletone label. Three long tracks of poisonous death drones and demonic howlings.

Urna - Liber Lelle (Abgurd)
New 2008 release from long-active Italian artist Gianluca Martucci, with a number of past releases on Slaughter Productions. Gradually stepping away from its dank death industrial origins towards more ritualistic and luminous sounds over the years, Urna's new work further confirms this evolution with its compositions of serene acoustic ambient. Bells, cymbals, percussion, mandolin, balalaika, zither, accordion and flutes are woven together into a lustrous tapestry of sound dedicated to the life and death of Angela da Foligno, a Christian author, nun, and mystic. This could easily be a White Magic audio counterpart to Endura's "Black Eden".

Ishai Adar - Beaufort Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Ak Duck)
Original soundtrack to "Beaufort", the 2007 Berlinale Film Festival Silver Bear winner for best director. "Beaufort" tells the story of the last group of IDF soldiers stationed in the South Lebanon outpost of the same name, prior to the evacuation of Israeli forces from the country in 2000.
Its soundtrack was composed by Israeli electronic artist Ishai Adar, who was previously involved in the experimental pop band "The Top-Hat Carriers". This is Adar's second motion picture soundtrack, and it's an ominous and pensive combination of processed digital sounds, warm ambient drones and sedated melodies. The press release suggests comparisons to Philip Jack, Biosphere & William Basinski, but this comes recommended to anyone looking for a great example of a subtle contemporary electronic score.

Recant - Subject to Affliction (Alarming Echo Beats)
Following his first full-length release on Fleshmadeword Records, Recant comes back with this EP in a different vein altogether. Gone are the cut-up rhythmical scrapings of "Gesture", here replaced by solid blocks of black ambient noise and junkyard atmospheres.

Linija Mass - Industrealism (ALF Produkt)
Mini-album composed of two tracks from 2001 and one from 2007. This is some of the most rhythmical and loop-based material released by Linija Mass, mechanical grinding and the restrained hum of machinery replacing the maelstrom of factory noise present on earlier releases. A different direction approached with the project's consistent stakhanovist efficiency.

Stalnoy Pakt - Russia's Awakening (ALF Produkt)
First full-length CD from Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's other main project. While Linija Mass takes its aesthetic inspirations from Futurism and Soviet socialist realism, here the focus is shifted to militarism and nationalism, possibly in a manner related to the kind that is re-surfacing in Russia these days.
The sound is closer to ambient / martial industrial, but whereas most Western European projects in this field aim to infuse themselves with a sense of often overblown heroic bombast, Stalnoy Pakt's take on the genre turns marches into dehumanized machine-like processions and hymns into oppressive drones. Utterly bleak and captivating.

Vetrophonia - Generalissimus Chiang Kaishek (ALF Produkt)
Short EP dedicated to Chiang Kai-Shek, the Chinese political and military leader who fought both the Japanese during WW2 and against the Communists in the following civil war, ultimately resulting in the creation of the Republic of China (known today as Taiwan). 4 tracks of subdued musique concrete merged with sampled Chinese musical elements. Limited to 30 copies.

Stalnoy Pakt - O Roma O Morte! (ALF Produkt)
Sights and sounds of Fascist Italy condensed into one 16-min long military-industrial collage of anthems, marches, cheering crowds and gramophone fuzz. Includes a 3-min video clip set to the tune of a reconstructed version of "Giovinezza". Best enjoyed with a fine glass of castor oil.

T.A.U. - La Splendeur Géométrique / Urbanomania (ALF Produkt)
T.A.U. (Trans Aero Urbanizacija) is primarily known as a collaboration between Alexander Lebedev-Frontov and Kirill Rozhkov, but the latter's absence on this new release makes room for Igor Potsukailo of Bardoseneticcube, who steps in for all editing, processing and mixing tasks using sound sources provided by Lebedev-Frontov. The end result is a remarkable synthesis of their individual traits, Bardoseneticcube's surrealist strain twisting the metallic factory noises of Linija Mass into a vortex of steel and welding sparks.
Due to the hand-made nature of the sculpted packaging this is limited to 30 copies, of which there are only a few in stock.
(CD-R in painted / sculpted jewel case, $16.00)
