Alexander Lebedev-Frontov - Bio Versus Mechano (ALF Produkt)
Recordings from 1988-1992 of pure mechanical bliss. Collages of machine noise, cut-up low-resolution audio artefacts and sputtering vocal snippets. A perfect follow-up to the "Chaos" and "Cosmos" re-releases.
(CD-R, hand-made packaging, to be restocked soon)

Desolation Zone - L'Homme Machine (Beast of Prey)
"L'Homme Machine" is named after a book by French philosopher Julien Offray de La Mettrie, the founder of a radical form of materialism he named mechanism. The six tracks presented here live up to this creed by delivering a solid 38 minutes of cadenced factory noises, mechanical rhythms and instructions barked over the factory's PA systems, like a more electronic and rhythmical version of some Linija Mass or Genetic Transmission tracks. Great stuff.
(CD, circular metal case with insert, black latex gloves and scalpel blade, $13.00, last copy)

Genetic Transmission - Ascetic (Beast of Prey)
New album from this absurdly overlooked Polish industrial pioneer, whose previous work includes many self-releases on Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk and activities in projects such as ?adne Kwiatki, Godzilla and Hated Bruit Kollectiv. "Ascetic" is just as abstract and demanding as one would expect, with its brittle electro-acoustic textures slithering and scraping through three 20-min tracks. An acquired taste for some, but those interested in Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar and modern futurism shouldn't ignore this one.

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.

Linija Mass - Trud / Mechano-Faktura / Proletkult / Kinematika Mechanizmov (Der Angriff)
Box set that brings together re-releases of the Trud tape, the Proletkult LP on Membrum Debile Propaganda and the Mechano-Faktura CD-R along with a fourth disk of previously unreleased material. A monument of essential Russian industrial.
(3 CD + 1 CD-R box set, to be restocked soon)

Linija Mass - Fanatisch Eiskalt Maschine (Ultra)
Re-issue of the classic 1998 tape. A symphony of steel, steam hammers and blast furnaces.

Ritualnaya Bioingeneria - Poluraspad (Ultra)
Ritualnaya Bioingeneria is Lunar Abyss Deus Organum dragged from the forest and forced into industrial labor. With its combination of busy factory sounds, bursts of radio noise and snippets of Soviet-era gramophone recordings, "Poluraspad" is definitely at home on Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's label. Few copies in stock.

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.

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, to be restocked soon)

T.A.U. - T.A.U. (Ultra)
First self-titled release from this collaboration between Kirill Rozhkov (S36NZ-OKH) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (whom you should already know of by the time you're reading this). Where Linija Mass is the sound of industrial labor running at full capacity, T.A.U.'s debut album is its nighttime counterpart, with the pacing of the activity subdued and restrained. The shouts of the foreman are ghostly echoes here, and the faint rumble of automated machinery is only interrupted by sparse malfunctions in its cycles. The poetry of machines in motion.
