R.Y.N. - 'Archaic Techniques Of Ecstacy'
LP (Equation Records)
- £20 / £23 / £26
R.Y.N. are a UK-based duo
probably best known for their Astral Death CD (Unrest Productions) and
an excellent 7" on Drone Records. On this vinyl-only release R.Y.N.
present 44 minutes of completely new recordings: a mix of archaic,
unsettling, new and melancholy. This album took many months to record as
a result of the careful attention paid to the record by the duo. This
LP provides both classic R.Y.N. darkness plus even heavier oppressive,
dark, soundscapes that can only be fully appreciated on vinyl over the
two side-long tracks: Archaic Techniques Of Ecstacy and Provisional
Sketch Of The Mind. If you don't know their work then this is definitely
worth exploring. If you do know them then this is a must. Ltd x 233
numbered copies in a foldout silkscreened sleeve with spot varnish black
on grey card stock and with inserts. • All R.Y.N. Titles

REFORMED FACTION - 'Until...' CD (Greytone)
- £11 / £12 / £13
"Until..." is a new set of
dark ambient recordings built around the ideas of abstract compositional
instructions similar in meaning and intent to those used by Karlheinz
Stockhausen in such works as "From The Seven Days” and the the nature of
auditory vibrations.
Eager to create a diverse and ever changing
catalogue of works Reformed Faction here embrace improvisation, a
feature fundamental to all their recordings, with a different focus and
sensibility allowing sounds to evolve slowly and sub-consciously across a
unrestricted timescale.
Reformed Faction are Robin Storey and Mark
Spybey, both ex-members of zoviet*france and both with long established
and productive solo careers as Rapoon and Dead Voices On Air respectively. Digipak. • All Reformed Faction Titles

LAGO MORTO - 'Obitorio Veneto' LP (Von Archives)
- £15 / £18 / £21
Lago Morto is a band
conceived by Italian artist Nico Vascellari as contribution to the
exhibition ‘Rock Scissors Paper’ (Kunsthaus Graz).
Lago Morto is ‘a social punk sculpture’, a
way ‘to turn the model of the cast band upside down. Lago Morto is about
things that casting calls usually exclude - targeted aggression,
unpredictable social effects and local politics’. The result is a band
that toured for 15 days in Vittorio Veneto in non musical venues such as
bar, osteria, pizzeria, launderette, video store etc. The LP contains
all 14 songs the band has created. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size
insert. Italian import. • All Lago Morto Titles
