2007
[mn032]
Karma Kommando
The Revolver as a Prayer Wheel
Voluntarily misappropriated karmic concepts for powerless electronics. Like perpetually stumbling in the cycles of cause and consequence with no exit in sight. Mostly conceived and recorded with a few self-feeding pedals, vocals and some wind chimes. "To right every wrong, to wrong every right".
(3" CD-R, mini-DVD case, 50 copies, 6 €)
[mn031]
Concrete Belly
Concrete Belly
Somewhere between bedroom folk music, circuit-bent electronics and comatose drones, this mini-album brings together a little selection of assorted tracks sent to us by this UK musician. The fragile melodies and shimmering guitar sounds might bring to mind some of Aidan Baker's releases, but the noisier riffs and more loop-based structures of these tracks definitely give them their own personality. Disarmingly touching music for those windy yet sunny days.
(3" CD-R, mini-jewel case, 50 copies, 6 €)
[mn030]
Necromondo
Necromondo
53 minutes of maggot-infested sounds strongly inspired by Italian horror movies of the late 70's / early 80's. Oscillating synthesizer buzzes, intestinal bass rumbles, grunting, moaning and fields recordings from contaminated areas.
(CD, clear jewel case, 525 copies, 11 €)

Necromondo

Sedaye Marg
Frashogard
First proper CD release for this new incarnation of Sedaye Marg, courtesy of Coup d'Etat Communications. While a departure from the all-out assault of past releases (which is to a certain degree responsible for the new spelling in its name), it retains the processed and distorted percussions and strident electronics while incorporating more elements from its key subject of modern Persian history. A soundtrack to military coups, rapid modernization, misguided faith, betrayals and ultimately rebirth.
(CD, clear jewel case, 500 copies, 11 €)
[mn020]
Gulag
The Great Leap Forward
Moving into the People's Republic of China for this second release, Gulag carves out hymns from the Middle Empire's current political incarnation, making sure that the Chairman keeps a smile on his bloody face.

Aidan Baker
Dreammares
Canadian artist Aidan Baker has released multiple works both as a writer and a musician, and "Dreammares" is a further step into a world of warm rumbling drones, processed unrecognizable guitar textures and echoes of lost voices. Harvesting humming tones from blurry dreams, this release showcases Baker's skills at crafting atmospheres from the intangible.

Stelladrine
Not From This Earth
The audio equivalent of an UFO sighting. Bizarre, unsettling, but strangely compelling and reassuring. Twisted electronics, raw, saturated guitar feedback and vibrant drones make this worth investigating.
