WHAT IF.
Orchestra Noir
This is the first full-length album from Tony Wakeford's new-look Orchestra Noir since its resurrection as a London based project. With a move away from the martial towards musicians and compositions more based on chamber, and early music. In 2006 a collaboration started with Current 93 collaborator Richard Moult and acclaimed oboist Mark Baigent based initially on the words and music of Tony Wakeford but which soon flourished as a collaboration between the three and later with the acclaimed early-music violinists and viola players, Ben Sansom and Alexandria Lawrence.
With the addition of Sol Invictus percussionist M and flutist Guy Harries, a synthesis of experimental and traditional took place with unhealthy dollops of Edwardian dark whimsy, humor and satire. Aided by the folki voice of Autumn Grieve and the Jazz improvisation of Jessica Constable, an intriguing new direction had begun.
ARCHIVE COLLECTION 1996-1997 (Vol. I)
Militia
The first chapter of Militia's Archive Collection takes us back to their 1996-1997 recordings. The disc holds six tracks taken from the 'War Against Society' compilation, the 'Pain/Familiedrama' tracks featuring Con-Dom and Laura Maes and ends with the 'Kingdom Of Our Lord' mcd. All tracks were previously released by the now defunct German cult-label Praxis Dr. Bearmann. A nice appetizer for Militia's upcoming album 'Power, Propaganda, Production!'. An essential piece of industrial nostalgia!
THE VAULT OF APPARITIONS
K100
The solo project of Kim Sølve (Trine + Kim Design Studio, Swarms, M) turns loose his first collection from the vault. After a decade of introspection, intense work and self-imposed musical seclusion he now presents the first 12 tracks of dark glimmering electronic music. This is distant, transporting music built from ghost frequencies and hoarse sound fields. The building blocks are carved from excursions to industrial ruins and condemned places which resonates with otherness and timelessness, as well as from sounds of personal artifacts and intense personal experiences bordering on rituals. The glimpse into the vault can be yours from 30th October on. Turn the key, open the vault and hear what's inside.
K100 - the aural equivalent of a false awakening.
Originally scheduled for release in October 2009 this dark gem has suffered a severe delay following unfortunate circumstances. The first edition is now destroyed and the REAL edition is available at last.
HOW TO EXTRACT SUNLIGHT FROM CUCUMBERS
MekanOrganiK
'How To Extract Sunlight From Cucumbers' is the debut album of the Belgian post industrial music formation MekanOrganiK, featuring three members of the well-known industrial percussion band MILITIA: Frank Gorissen, Sandra Janssen and Frank Van Hoof. They play rythmic music using a combination of conventional instruments (percussion, guitar, effects, sequencer, wind instruments.) mixed with tools, machines and 'organic materials' such as wood, water, sand, stones, bones and skulls, glass and even cucumbers.
The music of the album is based on the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, the main character in Jonathan Swift's book 'Gulliver's Travels', which is a great and sophisticated satire of human nature based on Swift's experience of his times. 'Gulliver's Travels' is an anatomy of human nature and society and so is the music of MekanOrganiK.
RES DEJ INTE! [STAY DOWN!]
Music composed by Simon Kölle
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack made by Simon Kölle, the creative composer already known from Za Frûmi & Musterion.
A young guy is brutally beaten by a gang; a girl is threatened for her life to stay silent. Soccer hooligans plan the revenge. But who is really guilty?
The film follows three youth gangs and their time spent on the streets and their lives. Over a relatively short span the characters deal with paranoia, pain, violence and more. This film is powerful and grim. The last scenes are totally unforgettable. The plot comes to a sudden end and there are no truths about what really happened. More than a film, Res dej inte! is a comment about the ongoing violence in society.
