Ait! - Romanticismo Oltranzista (Punch Records)
Label info: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. AIT! is back at last to reveal himself with a new kinky show
for those of you having lost their heart in a dark Italian discotheque, some thirty years ago.
With a couple of hard-boiled songs and a boxful of extremist love letters
this obscure erotique one man orchestra gets its stylish fists right into the face of today's fashion kids. Too strong to be pussy. Too pussy to be romantic. A bizarre cup of circus fun served in a Jess Franco ballet dance through hell.
Remember the mirrorballs and watch this whole unique striptease from lounge to funk to rock'n'punk. Everything in here, more than a spicy cocktail. All shaken not stirred. A punch of its own!"
(CD, digipak with 28-page booklet, 13.50 €)

Ait! / Novy Svet / O Paradis / Totenlieder - Drinking to Better Days (Punch Records)
A great experimental neo-folk compilation that brings together some of the most (and few) lively and interesting bands in this field. Each of the four participating projects contributed two tracks to this 12" EP. The luxurious hand-made sleeve is covered in blue velvet on the outside and satin on the inside, and this release is limited to 410 hand-numbered copies.
(12" EP, out of stock)
Comando Suzie - Pobres Chavales (Punch Records)
First album from a Spanish duo with a rather slick and sexy take on new-wave / 80's electro-pop. The eleven tracks of this album recount tales of "love, desire, remorse and punishment" set in Barcelona and as crooned by Comandante Raul. Sarcastic and refreshingly spirited.
(CD, clear jewel case, 13.00 €)

Erik Ursich - Kanashii (Punch Records)
A debut release that is sure to please those into cold minimal electronics with a melancholic touch. The LP relies heavily on vintage synthesizers, giving the whole thing a certain retro quality.
(Grey 12", hand-numbered and limited to 300 copies, out of stock)
Erik Ursich - Electronic Diffraction Patterns (Punch Records)
Setting aside the 70's synth LP vibe of his first album for another trip back in time to the raw electronic sounds of the 50's, Erik Ursich's new exercise in style is much less musical in nature and focusses more on the sounds themselves. Sounds of vintage analog synthesizers which come across as an homage to Louis and Bebe Barron's ground-breaking soundtrack to "Forbidden Planet", with melody and rhythm shunned in favor of texture, timbre and atonality over the course of this album's 5 long tracks. Highly recommended to those into early synth experimentation and bleeps and bloops. The CD includes a video which can be viewed on PCs.
(CD, clear jewel case, to be restocked soon)
Novy Svet / O Paradis - Destello de Estrellas en la Frente (Punch Records)
Beautiful follow-up to their collaboration CD released in 2003, with the same combination of acoustic Mediterranean folk music and electronic psychedelia that made it a success.
(CD, digipak, 12.00 €)

O Paradis - La Boca Del Infernio (Punch Records)
"Hell's Mouth" stares at you on the cover of this new release from O Paradis, and the 10 tracks are a suitably infernal mix of seductive beauty and blackened ugliness. The gentle Mediterranean guitars are present as before, but dirtied by plaintive looped noises and a taste for the dissonant. Quite likely the most experimental work by O Paradis so far, one on which he bares himself in more ways than one.
(CD, digipak, to be restocked soon)
O Paradis - Cuando el Tiempo Sopla (Punch Records)
A new album's worth of beautiful and melancholic tunes from Barcelona's O Paradis. The tone is sorrowful and nostalgic, with the passing of time serving as a constant theme throughout the album (I don't think I'm imagining those tick-tocking rhythms). Definitely a step away from the more upbeat collaborations with Novy Svet and even more unusual in some ways than "La Boca del Infierno" ("Desnuda" will certainly mess with you), this is another excellent release from O Paradis that's rightfully been released by Punch Records.
(CD, clear jewel case, to be restocked soon)
