Keluar ist ein Duo mit Sitz in Berlin. Sid Lamar sorgt für die elektronischen Klänge und Zoè Zanias (ehemals Linea Aspera) für Worte und Stimme. Nun erscheint der Nachfolger zu ihrer Debüt-EP "Ennoea" aus dem Jahr 2013. Das Duo bietet experimentellen, von 80er Synth-Pop und Dark Wave beeinflussten Minimal-Wave.

CAR CRASH SET were one of the very few electropop acts coming out of New Zealand and have released several vinyls nationally between 1983 and 1986. Their 1983 12' 'Two Songs' and the V/A 'We'll do our best' LP are at least highly collectible items amongst electropop connoisseurs and many people will be happy to see these tracks being available again as well as four previously unavailable demos from both their earliest and later days.

FINAL PROGRAM was a pioneering Scottish minimal synth band, formed in Sterling in 1978. The first version of the band consisted of Richie Program and Anne Droid who went fully electronic when EDP launched their first affordable synth, the Wasp, and guitars were ditched. This LP entitled "Robots, Rockets, Radiation" is comprised of all 12 demo tracks and the original 7"EP tracks, making this a rather comprehensive work. Pure and raw, yet playful analogue synth bliss including the hits "Phase One", "Automaton", "Mechanic Dancing", finally a vocal version of "Protect and survive", as well as a cover version of The Stranglers' "Hanging Around" and an interpretation of Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops (keep falling on my head)".

The Color Tapes label was the brainchild of a young Gary Ramon after being
inspired by cassette labels such as Fuck Off Tapes, Weird Noise and other underground UK labels, and also by the music of the late '70's and early '80's such as Cabaret Voltaire, Suicide, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Throbbing Gristle, Fad Gadget, as well as electronic musicians such as John Cage, La Monte Young, Stockhausen, Pierre Henry, Moondog, and others that were being discovered after the Kraftwerk assault with "The Man Machine". And incidentally Color Tapes made a tribute cassette to John Cage called A Tribute To Jo Change - but don't be confused with James Chance!

These tracks from this compilation album originally came out only on limited cassette runs of 100 copies sold at gigs, mail order and record shops such as Small Wonder Records.

The compilation features tracks by: Lives Of Angels, Modern Art, Mystery Plane,The Lord, Disintegrators, WeR7, Berserk In A Hayfield and Stereo Machines & Kinesis.

The majority of these tracks from these UK garage cold wave bands used mostly synthesizer,
drum machines and sequencers such as EMS VCS3, Minimoog, Korg MS-20, Roland Juno 6,
SH-09, TR-808 so you know how they could sound. These machines today are part of the history of
the development of electronic music in the UK.

Remastered from original analogue source tapes by Denis Blackham, this is a must-have for electronic, synth and cold wave collectors.

Includes a full colour illustrated poster of all the cassette sleeves (70 releases)
made by the label and associated releases between 1979-1986.

This is a limited edition release of 500 copies pressed on 180 gram vinyl
in a textured sleeve with shrink-wrap and stickered.

For all your discotheque, roller rink and amusement arcade needs Finders Keepers Records in collaboration with synth pioneer Suzanne Ciani bring you the full version edit of her intergalactic vocoder driven TV jingle for Atari's classic Liberator arcade game. Check!
Originally proposed for a possible promotional flexi-disc release this remastered feature length version includes a lost second verse and extra custom-made space age sound designs that hark back to her earlier work on Meco's Star Wars Galactic Funk cash-in. Housed here in Atari style packaging and pressed on diamond white wax this 45 single comes complete with another Atari jingle Summer taken from her groundbreaking original company portfolio cassettes which were recently, errr, liberated from her original studio archives. This limited release also marks a brand new campaign of further unearthed computer music/synth funk artefacts from Finders Keepers latest trip into the Ciani Musica archive which will coincide with her first-ever Buchla fuelled tour of Europe penned for Autumn 2014.

Medical Records is very proud to present the long overdue reissue of "Shoulder Voices", the seminal 1993 debut LP released by Rollerskate Skinny. Originally released on Placebo Records, (a subsidiary of Beggars Banquet), it has been long out of print and rare to find on vinyl format. Rollerskate Skinny, formed in Dublin by Ken Griffin, Jimi Shields, Ger Griffin and Stephen Murray in early 1992, released two 10" vinyl only EP's, "Novice" and "Trophy", prior to the release of Shoulder Voices. Novice was included in NME's Top Ten New Band releases for 1992 while Trophy received Single of Week in the NME. The band's name was taken from The Catcher In The Rye ("She's quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny, roller-skate skinny."). The album, co-produced by Guy Fixsen (Laika), received many accolades upon release including (CMJ Magazine Album of the Month). The band toured with many great bands of the time including Pavement, the Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev. Hard to characterize, Shoulder Voices is a true masterpiece, featuring elements of severely catchy pop, heavily distorted guitar and keyboard sounds, weird experimental passages and other unclassifiable styles. Over the years, and with revived interest in the early 90's sound, this record is becoming increasingly popular with a new cult following, joining the legions of fans who were obsessed with it the first time round. The opening track "Miss Leader" is typical of the journey the record takes; it starts off with a jangly pop sensibility before a wall of guitars tears the sweet mood apart. "Violence To Violence", one of the albums most striking tracks, explodes with jagged guitar hooks while alternating noisy and ethereal passages share space, evenly, with super catchy melodies and lyrics. This reissue will certainly appeal to fans of the experimental pop era that was the early 90s. Features a bonus insert containing interview with Jimi Shields and Rollerskate Skinny retrospective written by Sean Kirkpatrick. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight red vinyl.

Trying is the first step towards failure. Alden Tyrell and DJ Overdose are back once again with the misery!

Two tracks originally self-released in 1981: abrasive post-punk-come-proto-industrial, with vocals, guitar, programmed drums and synths.

Soma Holidays infused NYC electro / hop hop sound with the French New Wave sensibility, which made 'Shake Your Molecules' such a unique dance floor hit. This is a remastered reissue of Soma Holiday's cult classic. Soma Holiday was a Franco-American duo consisting of Jean-Marc Vallod (FR) and Jane Honicker (US), based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn back in the early 1980s

Unreleased track from 1985 by Italo legends Rago & Farina featuring original version and new remixes by Italoconnection, Flemming Dalum, 'Lectric Workers and Mas & Fabrice

Legendary German Punk Pioneers, founded by charismatic singer Peter Hein (later: Fehlfarben) in 1978.
Subversiv, aggressiv and with bitter humour, sharp statements to the situation of society and politics in germany of the late 70s.
The music is slower, more dub-influenced,than thy typical uptempo punkrock of those times...

Peter Hein - vocals / Franz Bielmeier- guitar / Thomas Schwebel - guitar / Markus Oehlen - drums

The album was originally released on Düsseldorf Art/Punk-label Pure Freude as a double 7'.

Debut EP 'Vehicle' from San Francisco based synth trio INHALT. Consisting of European and East Coast natives - Matia Simovich, Bryan Gibbs, and Philip Winiger - INHALT's core operative strategy is of sonic fidelity and integrity rather than nostalgia. Having experienced the downfall of the music industry and professional studio system while working at Asphodel Records/Recombinant Media Labs, INHALT needed to create their own creative working environment. Thus, they designed and built The Bunker Studio, developed around an integrative ideology and employing the best of vintage and modern technologies and techniques. Here, they've honed their sound - sometimes referential to the raw electronics of Kraftwerk or the drive of Moroder disco - but ultimately their own interpretation of the border between the past and the present. What started with the split 12 for Andy Blakes' World Unknown imprint now continues with the 'Vehicle' EP, where the brutality of the analogue transistor rhythm section meets the sincerity of the human voice.

Dark Entries is celebrating its 50th release with Leæther Strip 'Teenage Demos'. Leæther Strip is the solo-project of Danish electronic industrial artist Claus Larsen. Discovered by the German techno artist and producer Talla 2XLC, Leaether Strip quickly built a buzz as one of the most exciting emerging acts in Europe in the early 90's.
'Teenage Demos' is a collection of Claus Larsen's earliest recordings. Nine demo songs recorded between 1982 and 1986 never before released on vinyl. Influenced by Fad Gadget, Depeche Mode and Jean Michel Jarre, Claus began creating synth-pop melodies at age 14. Though the melodies were catchy and upbeat they had a hidden melancholy because Claus knew that he was different than others. 'Dreaming' was his first attempt to 'come out' to himself as a queer kid. Lyrically the songs reflected what was going on in his head: youth, hope and dreams. Claus used a simple set up: Moog Prodigy, Yamaha drum machine, delay pedal and spring reverb. He would record the bass and drums on a double cassette recorder, without midi, sequencers or preset sounds. By 1985, Claus composed instrumental songs as the final three tracks on this album illustrate.
Each song has been carefully remastered from the original masters for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. The vinyl comes housed in a glossy jacket with original photograph of a 15-year old Claus as well as an insert with lyrics, photos and an interview. 'Teenage Demos' is a sneak peak into the world of early, emotionally intense foundations of Leæther Strip.

'Poemss' is a musical project from Toronto-based producer and music artist Joanne Pollock in collaboration with Aaron Funk, who's recorded music as Venetian Snares. They met in Europe but when Joanne played Aaron her music and visited him at his studio, collaboration started to happen soon after. Poemss will surprise anyone who equates Aaron's music solely with his hard-edged, drum-driven output. The record is the result of a true partnership, with both artists contributing to the writing and performance of the music, the technical aspects of production and to the performance and treatment of the vocals. The result is a collection of soft and dreamlike ballads; Aaron and Joanne's singing adding both texture and poetry to the album. They explain how the record came about:
"This album was made between January and May of 2013.To us, this album is an album of beginnings. It's the beginning of knowing someone, the beginning of a new creative endeavour, and fresh possibilities. The very first song that we wrote together is included in these tracks, and was to us just an experiment. As musicians, it seemed natural to see what we would make. We can hear ourselves becoming more comfortable with each other as it progresses; an evolution recorded in an album. This record comes from a very intimate place for both of us, largely because it was recorded in Aaron's house, where Joanne was visiting at the time. However, although it was recorded in Winnipeg, to us this record seems less rooted in a particular place or time, and seems more to be born out of our thoughts, dreams, and reflections. Listening back to every track, it is difficult for us to isolate which parts either of us brought individually to each song. We launch each other creatively, melodically. One of us will usually be inspired again to add to what the
other is laying down and it works in a kind of cycle like this. It's a nice way to flow and pleasantly surprising to see what the other person brings to it. Much of the time, it really sounds like the two of us together rather than a combination of what we do individually."

A few trips in Tel Aviv made Ivan Smagghe aware of the extensive and more importantly, quasi forgotten, wave and pop scene from Israel. Blown away some of the tracks passed on to him, He and The Ginger Prince thought it would be a good start for the LDDLM reissues series, edits and originals.

GAZOLINA by CHROMOSOME is one of those record hunters grail. Fetching far too much money on Discogs these days and having been a DJing classic of RED AXES for years, it was only natural that Niv and Dori got their hands dirty. Their edit keeps the raw punk rage of the original and is all the better for it.

NOSEI HAMIGBAAT's BIRTHDAY was the track that triggered it all and appears on vinyl for the first time in 30 years (I strongly recommend buying the CD of their album on Anova, a label dedicated to excavating the TA underground). This is a heavily psychedelic romp, as if the 13th floor elevator had stopped on the 1983th floor. Wave, but in a cramped style. THIS HAS BEEN LEFT UNTOUCHED, IN ALL IT'S BEAUTY.

The purists will tell me that TOVA GERTNER is not part of the DOWNTOWN TEL AVIV scene. They are right, she is not. But ETMOL (1987), a chart hit in Israel, was too much of a good pop song to let pass. Tim Paris and Ivan Smagghe are on IT'S A FINE LINE edit duty and have made up a genre for it: Balnearic, the sound of the beach and the nose bleed - pianos and hands not in the air but in your pockets, searching for those empty wraps.

LOVE TO DEATH. LDDLM.

THE VINYL WILL HAVE A SPIRAL GROOVE "LINKING" OUR EDIT TO THE ORIGINAL but still enabling you to play one or the other. WE HAVE INCLUDED, JUST FOR YOU, the "mix in two halves". If ever you play in Tel Aviv, we strongly recommend dropping it.

Limited to 500 units coming in silkscreen printed sleeves
After the success of their first EP 'Bells from the Deep End' and their second 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night', we are very happy to present the 3rd Golden Teacher EP with another sleeve designed and made by their fair hands. This is is an edition of 500 as that is all that time allows to be made. We are not advocates of limited edition releases but sometimes necessity dictates. Further copies will be available in the Optimo Music house bag.

Their latest release is a party record...play it loud, preferably with some lasers and strobes, and LET LOOSE.

It s a double A -side release. Party People is GoGo a go go while the more electronic leaning Love has been cut at 45 so it can be cunningly played at either speed for extra added value love. Silver Chalice is an added bonus not jazz funk gem.

Wild party music from Glasgow from our hearts to yours.

Trek With Quintronic are the duo, formed from the ashes of prog rock band Masque in 1979. They recorded two pioneering albums of unique electronic rock. 'Landing Plus' compiles the complete discography of Trek With Quintronic on a double vinyl for the first time in over 30 years. Trek With Quintronic wrote songs with a powerful sound, myriads of compositional ideas, synthetic noises and catchy melodies. Paul's rather unique vocals lie somewhere between David Bowie and Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs.nThis collection highlights a lost duo with a big sound on par with Ultravox, Human League, OMD or Devo

Beau Wanzer (Mutant Beat Dance) doing his own thing again...this time for NATION, Chicago and way further down the experimental song route than we've heard from him before. Super super heavy business on the format that suits best...Love this man's stuff! TIP!
Nation has returned...

A label designed to push the underground to a new level of electronic sound through experimental styles of musical consciousness. In our recent releases the idea is to never go with the same formula twice...

This is why we emerge for our second release of 2014 with a 10" by long-time Nation affiliate Beau Wanzer.
Four sedated tunes. Subtle and not so subtle frequencies drag aside gloomed out rhythms and beat less malfunctions.

'Power Outage' slithers along a marching waltz undercurrent of frizzled out electronics accompanied by broken spectral voices.

'Fabrics' is a malformed hollow arpeggio interlude that worms across the floor.

'Lotraf' is a demented rhythm track with an odd sense of urgency, underneath blankets of weird home movies.

'Thurston Moog' is a contorted synth jam, built upon various recordings and manipulating them into a mesh of guttural tones.

Die belgische Band The Klinik gehört zu jenen, wenigen Gruppen, die eine ganze Szene nachhaltig beeinflusst haben und ohne die es viele der heutigen Protagonisten und Stars nicht in dieser Form gegeben hätte. Vor mehr als drei Dekaden begründeten Marc Verhaeghen und Dirk Ivens eine komplett neue Richtung der elektronischen Musik, indem sie so konsequent minimalistische-, kalte-, dunkle- und raue Industrial-Elemente zu einem Sound kombinierten, den es noch nie zuvor in dieser Form gegeben hatte. Nicht umsonst berufen sich Stars der Szene auch heute noch auf die Band als einen ihrer Haupteinflüsse und der Song - Out Of Line' vom Album-Klassiker - Face To Face' war nicht nur Namensgeber für dieses Label, sondern auch Gründungsanstoß. In der - The Klinik-Box' sind nun auf 8 randvoll gepackten CDs sämtliche Studioalben der Band von 1984-1991, sowie sämtliche Eps und anderes, vergriffenes Material aus dieser Ära. Hinzu kommt noch eine Vielzahl an bis dato komplett unveröffentlichten Tracks und Live-Aufnahmen aus der gleichen Zeit. Alle Stücke wurden in liebevoller Arbeit von Eric van Wonterghem (Dirk Ivens Weggefährten bei Absolute Body Control) unter Anleitung von The Klinik neu gemastert, sodass sie in einem bis dato ungehörten Glanz erstrahlen. Mit diesem auf weltweit 1000 handnummerierte Exemplare limitierten Sammler-Traum von einem Box Set schließt sich nicht nur ein Kreis, es ist auch eine absolute Herzensangelegenheit für alle Beteiligten und ein absolutes Muss für Fans. Als ein wahrhaft Heiliger Gral der Electro-Industrial-Szene darf dieses Kleinod in einer edlen Buchbox in keiner gut sortierten Sammlung fehlen!

Abstract darkness from San Fran based duo, Red Light. Cold and Dark heavyness... 250 only. TIP.

The label say "Nation has returned.. A label designed to push the underground to a new level of electronic sound thrugh experimental styles of musical consciousness.

In our recent releases the idea is to never go with the same formula twice... Jakbeat introduces a new concept of productions,music with a sense of novelty that can be accentuated in a certain setting a state of mind.

In the 'record wax' industry in the start of a new year is concerned mostly everyone will drop their 1st release with a proper 12" record but we're going the alternative route..

Nation will be launching the label with a 7" to start off the year with brand new artists to the family from San Francisco from 2 ladies on a mission is to present the most emotional and artistic music that brings many moods and colors that equals timeless avant-garde
paintings of sound.

Red Light started as a pact between Kerri LeBon and Rachel Aiello in early 2013,though neither of them had any prior musical experience, they both were determined to dive head first into creating their first recordings...their music being generally angst and moody, the two girls sought to beautify their suffering through sound.

The release will be their 1st productions from the prior year with 3 tracks altogether over the 7 inch.

The A side presents an ever-descent dark and broody song called Obedient sung by Kerri Lebon programmed by Rachel Aiello as the arrangement is very expressive of what was envisioned for the track.

The B side presents 2 different takes on the original demo called Your Move. The 1st track is the demo that presents raw metal clacking-scape tones of a field recording of harmonic poetry in an inner lust/sanctuary
while the 2nd track is a new version with a finished feel to it that the original did not that we could reference to jakbeat with a unique thrust of cosmic synth tones riddling the space between lucid dreams and electronic rhythm of the future. "

Nancy is a Small provincial town in the East of France. But its musical scene has always been fertile. In the early 70s, Gérard N'Guyen started the influential French fanzine Atem to write about improv, electronic, komische, kraut and prog rock bands that you couldn't find in the local record stores. He started to produce bands for the Atem label like Univers-Zéro, Art Zoyd and Présent. He discovered, produced and managed French synth gods Kas Product.

But tired to deal with major companies A&R guys he set up his own independent label called Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier (Coil, Sprung Aus Den Wolken, Pascal Comelade). The second release of the label was oTo's 'Anyway' single that found its way to the dancefloors all over the world. From New York to Antwerp and Berlin, 'Anyway' was a floor-filler that was played by rock, EBM or hip-hop DJs.

2014 marks its thirtieth anniversary and desire is proud to reissue it (in collaboration with Mitzvah Records). It will be followed by the reissue of the sole oTo album 'Purge An Urge' and a compilation of rare oTo demo and unreleased tracks.

credits: An oTo Production Recorded in Paris, June 1984 by Bernard Deffond. Mixed with the PCM Sony by Bernard Deffond, Gérard N'Guyen & oTo.
Cover art by Thierry Merigout. First released on Les Disques du Soleil et de l'Acier in 1984.

First pressing on black vinyl - limited edition of 500 copies. Released on collaboration with Mitzvah Records.

The Royal Family & The Poor is the nomenclature adopted by Mike Keane, who recorded for Factory Records between 1980 and 1986.
"The Project Phase 1 - The Temple of the 13th Tribe", released in 1984 (FACT 95) was produced in Manchester by Joy Divison and New Order bassist Peter Hook. Featuring the violinist John Neesham (of Walking Seeds and Mel-o-Tones) and the keyboard player Lita Hira from labelmates Stockholm Monsters, the album was done only after plenty of ups and downs in Keane's own life as well as numerous personnel shifts and incarnations, but the end results were a sometimes delicate and often enthralling combination.

The combination of TR 808 and other drums, reverbed vocals, and aural mystery is all permeated by Keane's interest in the occult, while Hook's technological know-how adds a sharp rhythmic punch to tracks such as "Dark And Light", "Radio Egypt" and "Discipline". Other tracks include one of Mike Keane's best known songs, the affecting ballad "I Love You (Restrained in a Moment)", and the sinister, vocodered "Motherland".

Perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory Records, The Royal Family and the Poor remain for many an (oc)cult enigma, releasing only four albums in two decades, and rarely performing live after 1984.

A lost classic, highly recommended for fans of Joy Division, New Order, Section 25, Durutti Column, Death In June.

'Just Pressure' contains 80's Dark Wave/EBM inspired tracks with an industrial tinge. Citing inspiration from Fad Gadget, Front 242, Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy, Sumerian Fleet deliver 9 songs of vintage dark electro. Their sound brings to mind rough 80s/90s Industrial dance with a Gothic tinge and a touch of bass guitar as the lead instrument. The band utilizes vintage analog gear like the Linn Drum, Roland TR-808, MiniMoog, Korg MS-20, and Roland Jupiter 8.

We're excited to help you get acquainted with World Gang, whose brand new single — 'Mechanic the Mushroom' / 'Dolphin Smiles' — drops on May 26, 2014 via Imputor. It's a long-brewing collaboration between Plastiq Phantom's Darrin Wiener and Modest Mouse's Jeremiah Green — like-minded musicians, and two of the most enduring threads in the fabric of the Pacific Northwest's music scene. World Gang evolved out of time spent on the road together, touring their respective projects — their shared reverence for ambient electronics, field recordings and EDM chasing the duo down into basements and out into nature in search of new sounds. These countless hours eventually evolved into World Gang. They've been quietly at work for a while now, cranking out a steady stream of experimental ambient improvisations and processed drum breaks via super-limited, hand packaged 8-tracks, cassettes and vinyl. With 'Mechanic the Mushroom' / 'Dolphin Smiles,' the Gang hunker down to deliver their first forays into proper song form, with unsurprisingly arresting results. Dolphin Smiles: A slow, "post-rave" burner — meaning it simultaneously is and isn't rave music. A nearly perfect cerebral dancefloor machine, 'Dolphin Smiles' is ultimately a techno song, but with a sense of musicality time-tested by years of live playing. The heady, detuned, and dissonant melodies introduced later in the track show true craft — the interplay of the dungeon-y trance lead, and the wet, kind-of-funky acid bass line recalling Cabaret Voltaire and the early Kompakt Speicher series.

"Story Off" translates deep emotions of desperation or fear, loneliness or anger into music, both minimalistic and complex this is the next step into synthesizer based cold wave, pure Belgian and pure 2014

STRESS is the duo of ALAN RIDER and PHIL CLARKE from West Midlands, England formed in 1981. Alan was editor of Coventry fanzine Adventures in Reality, and Phil was editor of Nuneaton fanzine Damn Latin. Stress combined electronic rhythms and keyboards with bass guitar, vocals, percussion, and cut-up samples. They created catchy electronic pop songs that fused accessible & experimental elements with a pointed lyrical edge in the vein of Cabaret Voltaire, Depeche Mode and Joy Division. Their first two albums were cassette releases on Alan's own Adventures in Reality Recordings label. Help Comes Too Late in 1982 followed by Restraint in 1984. In July 1985 Stress released The Big Wheel album and appeared on numerous cassette and vinyl compilations worldwide. More gigs and press followed and the album took the Number 1 spot in the NME's electronic charts. Stress split in September 1985 and re-formed briefly in 1991 to record two tracks. Conspiracy Theory is an 11-song 'best of' compilation album featuring tracks from the first two cassette albums with "The Prayer Clock" from Third Mind Records' Life At The Top compilation LP and "Tear It Down" from the Compulsory Overtime compilation LP. Each song has been carefully remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP also includes a 16-page booklet 'Stress Edition' of Adventures in Reality fanzine with photos, equipment list, press cuttings, lyrics and an exclusive Stress badge.

Medical Records presents a reissue of one of Germany's most interesting records. The German duo Aloa only made one album in 1982, but it is one of the most peculiar and innovative records of the Neue Deutsche Welle movement. Long out of print, somewhat obscure, and very expensive, this record is due for an official reissue. The album explores a whole spectrum of textures, moods, and atmospheres. Ranging from dark complex synthed-out tracks to diverse instrumentation-laced almost Krautrock motifs, this album is definitely one of a kind. From the commanding first track "Weisser Wal" with it's almost Bryan Ferry style vocals to the atmospheric "Banane Zitrone", the twists and turns are endless. Definitely will appeal to fans of The Residents, Neue Deutsche Welle, and anything and everything that lives in the outer reaches of synth territory. Restored and mastered from the original master tapes by Klearlight Studios in Dallas, TX. Presented on high-quality 180gram heavyweight green vinyl. Features bonus LP insert with liner notes and interview by Dave Segal. Limited Edition.

The Lost Movie is an outcome of Ilker's cinematic perception, approach, interpretation of his constantly intriguing dusty compositions. As a result of his tiring yet inspirational shift over the years, LP has been written in different cities like Istanbul, Rotterdam, Antwerp and the current final stop: Amsterdam - different surroundings & moods.

ancing to Restore an Eclipsed Moon is the debut studio album of American post-punk band Red Temple Spirits. It was released in 1988 on the Nate Starkman & Son label, a subsidiary of Fundamental.
Rock critic Piero Scaruffi praised the album, calling it a "ponderous masterpiece" and writing, "The extravagant mysticism [...] had few or no precedents. It rehashed emotional debris left buried under the cosmic and ritualistic hymn of 'Interstellar Overdrive', under the psychotic and metaphysical melodrama of 'The End', under the apocalyptic frenzy of 'Sister Ray', while scouring medieval fairy tales, Tibetan mantras, whirling sufi dances and gothic ballads for intimations of supernatural existence."



L.A.'s Red Temple Spirits perform ritualistic, droning post-punk soundscapes augmented by tribal drumming, '60s psychedelia, and a {new age} spiritual sensibility courtesy of British emigre and frontman William Faircloth, fresh off of an EP with Ministry of Love. The band also features guitarist Dallas Taylor and bassist Dino Paredes, a former member of Perry Farrell's pre-Jane's Addiction band Psi Com.

Los Angeles based Red Temple Spirits were prophets and shamen, ritualistic healers musically exploring an entirely new world. Pulsating psychedelic sonics meet mesmerizing mysticism, comprising intense spiritual, tribal, primitive imagery.

Der Titel des neuen Longplayers der belgischen Electro-Industrial-Legende lautet "When Evil Speaks" und ist auch absolut kein leeres Versprechen, denn diesmal hat Band-Kopf und Szene-Ikone Johan van Roy noch tiefer in der dunklen Seite der menschlichen Psyche gebohrt. Dass dabei kein Easy-Listening-Material herausgekommen ist, versteht sich fast von selbst und so erwartet den Hörer ein angemessen heftiger Trip aus psychotischen Shouts, knüppelharten Beats und dunklen Soundflächen. Mit "When Evil Speaks" steht dabei ein neuer Club-Hit in den Startlöchern, der, genau wie "In Guns We Trust" dazu prädestiniert ist, die Tanzflächen zu füllen. Doch das Album bietet mehr als nur Tanzflächenmaterial: es ist vielmehr eine Reise in die Abgründe der menschlichen Existenz und durch alle Facetten des Hasses, welche sich wie ein roter Faden durch alle Songs zieht. Titel wie "Monster" konfrontieren uns mit der verabscheuenswürdigen Seite der Spezies Mensch, während "Repent Or Perish" und "My Blasphemy" die Irrwege und Gefahren der Religion aufzeigen. Johan van Roy konfrontiert uns auf seinem neuen Höllentrip nicht nur mit dem Innenleben gemeingefährlicher Psychopathen, sondern hält auch dem Bösen in der Mitte unserer Gesellschaft mit diabolischem Grinsen den Spiegel vor. Die düstere und oft beklemmende Atmosphäre, die "When Evil Speaks" ausmacht, bringt Suicide Commando auf äußerst effektive Art zurück zu ihren Wurzeln (allerdings im massiven Sound von 2013) und macht den neuen Höllentrip zu einer umso heftigeren Erfahrung. "When Evil Speaks" erscheint auch als Deluxe-Doppel-CD mit dem infernalen Remixalbum "When Hate Prevails", das der Club-Tanzfläche mit ganzen 14 Neubearbeitungen Zunder gibt, sowie als streng limitiertes und nummeriertes 3CD Set in einer in Handarbeit in Deutschland hergestellten exklusiven Stahlbox mit gelasertem Suicide Commando Logo. Die ultra-edle, massive Box enthält die Limited Deluxe Doppel-CD-Version von "When Evil Speaks", sowie die "vintage" Live-CD "Rewind" im exklusiven Digipak, die nur in diesem Set erhältlich ist!

« Mort à Vegas » (« Death in Vegas » in French...) is the new 12'' E.P. by Adrien Viot aka AV, one of the finest protagonists on the new 'frenchy but chic' electronic pop scene. AV sings the nightlife, paid sex, alcohol over-consumption, desire under the neon lights, dark side of the american dream, driving a black Cadillac drunk to death....

This 12'' EP contains a dreamlike remix of « Mort à Vegas » by DEATH IN VEGAS (as the track was probably written with him in mind!) but also a cover of French singer Dominique A, known in France for being the one who launched the « new French scene » that drove the renewal of the French Pop.

AV has still this elegant crooner voice that slowly caresses you before driving you on the dancefloor, so let his deep voice and those melodic synths & guitars seduce you. Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl. Including download coupon.

If Tomorrow I Were Leaving for Lhasa, I Wouldn't Stay a Minute More... is the second studio album by American post-punk band Red Temple Spirits. It was released in 1989 on the Nate Starkman & Son label, a subsidiary of Fundamental.
Dedicated to Tibetan buddhism, the album displayed a more direct approach and a turn toward Tibet for the music's spiritual inspiration.

L.A.'s Red Temple Spirits perform ritualistic, droning post-punk soundscapes augmented by tribal drumming, '60s psychedelia, and a {new age} spiritual sensibility courtesy of British emigre and frontman William Faircloth, fresh off of an EP with Ministry of Love. The band also features guitarist Dallas Taylor and bassist Dino Paredes, a former member of Perry Farrell's pre-Jane's Addiction band Psi Com.
