A very special release with an
unusual mix of sound: Using Cadaverous Condition's "To The Night Sky"
album as source material for their tracks, 11 acts have created a unique
new style of music. Call it metal ambient, drone metal or electronics
metal, the result is something previously unknown and exciting. Hear
Nurse With Wound doing one of their darkest tracks ever, listen to
Controlled Bleeding's totally insane restructuring of a rock track, or
be surprised by Nocturnal Emissions's return to noise - this album is
unlike everything else you have heard in recent years. Features: Ali
Helnwein, Andrew Liles (2 tracks), Asmus Tietchens, Colin Potter, Controlled Bleeding, Gjöll, Holy McGrail, Nurse With Wound, Nocturnal Emissions (3 tracks), Product 8 and Thighpaulsandra. Artwork by Cyril Helnwein, son of
Gottfried Helnwein. Ltd x 700 copies.
Another masterpiece of ethereal
power-drone music based entirely on acoustic instruments and sources,
this time much more song and vocal oriented with at times amazing
results! Taking over a year to produce, "Seven Directions Divergent" is
the fifth full-length Voice of Eye CD. "As artists experimenting with
sound we have been inspired by many different styles of music and noise.
Seven Directions Divergent pays homage to some of the diverse musical
sources that have influenced us over the years from traditional Sanskrit
chants to Steve Hillage to cute Euro pop to shamanic transcendence.
This is an ambitious project melding many different sources together
with the ethereal beauty and yearning magnificence you expect from Voice
of Eye. This CD transports the listener along a narrative history of
our personal journeys of change and transformation as told through the
medium of sound". Mastered by Jon Gold. Digipak with beautiful full
colour artwork by Jim Wilson.
Maybe the most mysterious and thought-provoking German
experimental project with recordings derived from field recordings so
bizarre it's difficult to find any words for it!
This work features very short sequences of
concrete sounds, arranged in a structural and temporal way that the
"known reality" is placed in a new frame and context, thus making it
possible that the world behind may become "visible" through our acoustic
senses. What is usually familiar is suspended in order to make new
experiences. The acoustic elements have been configured in a certain
causal formation which is not consciously perceivable within the
phenomenal order. The phenomenon hides the principle & substance of
the sound-pieces. Limited to 500 copies on fluorescent green coloured
vinyl, with a full colour sleeve designed by Andreas Mal Hoeschen.
Both Hoarfrost and Inner Vision
Laboratory are young Polish projects, but it would be an understatement
to call them 'new comers', with each project already having a few
releases under their belt. "Decline" is a tale of descending into the
pits of madness in 8 parts. Inspired by two poems, 'Madman' and 'Modern
Icarus,' "Decline: takes you on a journey into the realms of dark
thoughts. With such a clear concept, it's no wonder that the music is
cinematic, slowly building images in the listener's head. Face the
stillness, but remember: something is lingering in the corner. For fans
of cinematic ambient like Moljebka Pvlse, Inade, Lambwool, Tho-So-Aa,
Land etc. Released in a 6-panel digipak.
