PSYCHEDELIC/PROGRESSIVE

 

ELECTRIC CITIZEN - (BLACK) LIGHT YEARS BEYOND (7"/RIDING EASY)

This 7" features 'Light Years Beyond' b/w 'Ghost Of Me' from the 2014 album 'Sateen'. "They take cultish cues from European acts like The Devil's Blood and Mansion, but strip away the religious iconography to leave behind an earthy psychedelic swirl. The retro-style production, especially one so ably done, is a rarity among American acts, who usually bring such influences to bear with a modern feel, but Electric Citizen sound like old pros on their first outing." ~The Obelisk.

HOLOCAUSTE - HARD LIFE/NEWCOMER (7"/CAMELEON)

The band was formed in 1976 in Annemasse in France under the name of POST SQUAM, members were 13 to 15 years. They changed their name in 1978 to HOLOCAUSTE and record this unique single early 1979. Mixture of psyche and Heavy with excellent guitar solos make one pillar of its kind in France. The band always plays under another name today! Reissue 300 copies of this rare very hard on Cameleon Records.

VÄNTOREL - VÄNTOREL (LP/FROTEE)

A truly mind bending compilation of tracks from the elusive Estonian psych-pop cult-group Väntorel. These 14 self-penned tracks were recorded in September 1971, just a few months before they disbanded. Väntorel's music showcased a drugged out style, at times reminding of the most far-out of UK psych-pop groups (f.i. Tomorrow, Blossom Toes), or Brazilians Os Mutantes. It's no surprise that Väntorel was too much an underground act to release records on the country's leading Melodiya label, and the studio tapes got lost in the '70s. A previous compilation of their tracks, with sound taken from second-rate copies, was released on tape and limited CDR in 1997. Both are long out of print now. For this compilation the songs are fully remastered. Väntorel started its career under the name Keldriline Heli, but got into trouble with authorities, so they renamed themselves after a title of their best known song. They were totally unique in the Estonian music scene back then due to their sincere lyrics in Estonian, complex songwriting and psychedelic sound.

MCDILL, BOB - SHORT STORIES (CD/BIG PINK MUSIC)

A famous Texan singer songwriter Bob McDill's only album produced by himself in 1972. This excellent textbook type Nashville sound recording was made with help of super acts like Ken Lauber, Susan Taylor, Danny Flowers, Mike Utley and Charlie Freeman. First release on CD.

GARAGE PUNK/ROCK & ROLL

 

LORD ROCHESTER - OBAN ROAD (7"/SATURNO)

What a sonic masterpiece! This recording brings Lord Rochester even closer to the '50s Chess sound, being a real exhibition of good taste and analogic wisdom. And the songs don't stay behind the production: this EP is a quadruple A-sider. Four original songs of infectious beat, primitive rock'n'roll and life celebration. The Lord (Rochester) keeps spreading the True Word of Bo Diddley, and we say A-M-E-N!

VARIOUS - INTERNATIONAL VICIOUS SOCIETY, VOL. VII (LP/UNIVERSITY OF VICE)

Limited to 500 copies. Hard to find songs compiled from original 78's and 45's. The craziest compilation of music from all over the world!!! This comilation collates a worldwide mixture of painfully obscure crud-a-phonic dance craze platters from the 50's and 60's. A brilliant & bonkers concoction of exotica, teenbeat, and international nonsense novelties. If you need something new to listen to after you've worn out yer Las Vegas Grind and Jungle Exotica records then this is for YOU! This platter will liven up any ole party! Lurch-eriffic teen crazes and totally daffy mix-n-match foreign language tracks that'll make your eyes & ears alike pop just like corn. Long live the University of Vice. Tracks: Side A: 01. Comete / Jimmy's Guitar (Thailand) 02. Twist Dell' Astronauta / Luciano Fineschi (Italy) 03. El Idioma Del Robot / The Gay Crooners (Panama) 04. Space Cowboy / The Launchers (USA) 05.

ELECTRIC STARS - BELFAST BOY/GEORGIE (CD/DETOUR)

Limited CDEP, tribute to a 1960's icon & football genius, George Best.

STATYCS - BRAINTHROUGH (CD/FUZZ OVERDOSE)

'BRAINTHROUGH is the band's debut release, an absolutely amazing ORGAN'-DRENCHED album with ten original compositions and one cover (surprisingly an unusual one for a garage rock band). The album sound takes you back to the late '80s-early '90s GARAGE ROCK REVIVAL, the days of bands like THE FUZZTONES, THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS, THE CHEEPSKATES and others. It's obvious that THE STATYCS refuse to follow the tends and trends of nowadays and remain focused on playing the pure garage rock revival style of the '80s. A catchy organ line and a simple guitar riff is enough. This is it. Work done. ROCK'N'ROLL!!!!

 

INDUSTRIAL/DARK AMBIENT

 

GREY WOLVES/GENOCIDE ORGAN - ABSOLUTE TRUTH (12"/TESCO)

Limited to 500 copies with embossed frontcover. The Grey Wolves and Genocide Organ have been collaborators for many years. One of the most significant tracks they've worked on together is 'Beyond Hypocrisy'. This 12-inch features four different versions of that track. The Live in Mannheim 2011 version, the original version by The Grey Wolves, a new more classical version and a longer new interpretation of the track called 'Absolute Hypocrisy'. Coming as a 12", one side is 45rpm and one side 33rpm, total playing time about 29 minutes.

Listen to 'Beyond Hypocrisy' HERE.

APOPTOSE - ANA LIIL (+CD) (LP/TESCO)

This album spins within close range of those dark ambient realms that Apoptose became known for since the early 2000s. Songs like 'Meer Der Ruhe' or 'Schnee' still bear this signature. But at the same time they show a new quality of song writing. Both feature the frail singing of a girl who keeps the dusty shadows at bay - enthralling and unknown. On 'Forget Your Face', 'Adrenalin' or 'Ich Verbrenne' Apoptose replaces the reverb charged tracks by songs full of voices and haunting melodies. But beware: all is not as it seems. This LP+CD version comes in an altered design with copper foil blocking and printed inner sleeve. Don't miss out on this one!

Listen to 'Adrenalin' HERE.

HALGRATH - THE WHOLE PATH OF WAR AND ACCEPTANCE (CD/CRYO CHAMBER)

Halgrath's second album on Cryo Chamber is a very personal one, where the artist shares her inner struggles of transformation after dramatic events in her life. This dark ambient journey carries not only deep drones, but serene voices and emotional soundscapes as well. Delve deep into the visions of opera vocalist Halgrath's spiritual nightmares, where suffering and madness gets comforted by the calm hand of the dark expanding universe. Halgrath is easiest described as dark ritual ambient. With her hypnotic incantations reverbating through heavy textures the atmosphere is oozing with quality of production. Comes in nice designed 6 page ecopak.

Listen to 'The Whole Path of War and Acceptance' HERE.

MILLIPEDE - A MIST AND A VAPOR (CD/HYMEN)

Millipede's 'A Mist And A Vapor' demonstrates his mastery of styles, mixing the electronic with the organic in a perfect coexistence of IDM, glitch and dark ambient with a slight world music influence. This album's auditory terrain consists of forceful, slow beat-driven tracks alternating with mesmerizing ambient landscapes that include tightly orchestrated synthesizers and dark industrial pads as well as strong guitar and piano lines. The twelve tracks carry a striking fusion of emotions between curiosity anticipating a virtual expedition, melancholy and an articulately cinematic experience.

'Listen to 'A Mist and a Vapor' HERE.

SABLED SUN - SIGNALS I-III (3CD) (CD/CRYO CHAMBER)

'Signals I-III' is a series of space ambient works that portrays signals that the protagonist from the albums 2145 and 2146 finds on his journey to find out what happened to humanity after waking up from hibernation deep sleep to an empty world void of human life. As such this is an optional look into what happens in the periphery of the main project. Sabled Sun is a post-apocalyptic dark ambient sideproject by Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri). Comes in nice designed 6 page ecopak.

EXPERIMENTAL/SOUND ART

MACLISE, ANGUS - NEW YORK ELECTRONIC, 1965 (LP/SUB ROSA)

Angus MacLise, age 27, New York, November 1965, leaves the Velvet Underground for far-away lands. Drone-based experiments (notably with Tony Conrad, extremely present on the album, and John Cale), and purely electronic compositions - a path (almost) nobody knew MacLise had explored. Miraculously salvaged by Gerald Malanga, these archives provided a new perspective on the artist's whole body of work and expanded considerably his artistic palette. And so we are now able to draw a whole record's worth from MacLise's early electronic music. Tracks: Side 1: 01 Electronic Mix for 'Expanded Cinema'. Side 2: 01 Tunnel Music #1 02 Tunnel Music #2 03 Tunnel Music #3 04 Trance #1 05 Two Speed Trance 06 Four Speed Trance.

BOHMAN, ADAM - MUSIC AND WORDS 2 (CD/PARADIGM)

'Music And Words 2' is the second installment in an ongoing series of archival documents of Bohman's early work. As is the case with the first volume, this CD is divided into two separate segments of his work. Adam is probably best known as an improviser, but the music here isn't all that much improvised. On this CD the musical sections consist of idiosyncratic lo-fi songs alongside short collage pieces and other experiments, recorded on stereo and 4-track cassette recorders. Most of these pieces date from the early '80s, but the earliest recording is from 1977. The spoken word sections on this CD are centred on excerpts from 3 talking tapes - a trip to Southend, a concert series in Wiesbaden and a day in the life, in London. Anyone who has known Adam for any length of time will know that he frequently records his observations to a small portable cassette recorder. These are often recorded for friends and music contacts from all over the world. As with the musical contibutions, all these cassettes exist in very small quantities, often they are editions of only one copy. Although there is an obvious difference in these two types of recorded material, there exists a light and humouous common thread that runs through many of the 28 tracks. This is the third solo release from Bohman on Paradigm Discs. He also appears on all 3 of the Morphogenesis CDs, as well as contributing to the first ever Paradigm release, 'Variations', a compilation of London based artists, from 1995.

ROCK/POP/WAVE

 

GASC, JULIEN - CERF BICHE ET FAON (LP/BORN BAD)

With 'Cerf Biche et Faon' (Stag, Deer and Fawn), Julien Gasc guides and plants us in the forest of his emotions, playing with his ethereal voice and lyrical instrumentations, against the gentle crackle of lo-fi cigarettes. This is his first solo album after many rich collaborations (including Aquaserge, Stereolab, April March, Katerine, BERTRAND BURGALAT) and Julien Gasc more intimately reveals here the "diamond" he harbours, having it vibrate on the shellac. These are resolutely pop songs for the most part, or fueled by his adolescent energy, his artistic and technical maturity does nothng to smother the fresh spontaneity he reinvents in the moment during recording.

Watch 'La Boucle' live HERE.

LE LU/LU'S - OPERATING ON SPECIFIC CUES (2LP) (LP/VINYL ON DEMAND)

'Early Works 1982-1986'. Highly regarded early '80s synth sounds! In 1985 they released a fantastic 12-song tape on Unlikely Records called 'Operating On Specific Cues'. That material forms the foundation of this 25-track double-LP compilation. While the tape is still rather unknown to fans of synth music, the three 7"s released from 1985-87 (on Alain Neffe's Insane Music as well as Possum and R&D Records), with the outstanding tracks 'Spaceman Bassman', 'Africa' and 'Fragile Thing', are better known to the minimal synth/wave community and collectors of 80's wave and minimal synth vinyl. After Frank of VOD found a 7 song demo tape from 1982 and listened to the beautiful 12 song tape from 1985 he sent a request for a release to Deni. She checked her archive for more hidden treasures and found several more previously unreleased and superb synth-pop-tunes well worth being released and presented to a bigger audience of listeners and synth enthusiasts.

RATIONAL YOUTH - COLD WAR NIGHT LIFE: RECORDINGS 1981-1983 (LP/VINYL ON DEMAND)

An impressive 5LP release with an informative booklet. RATIONAL YOUTH was a Canadian new wave/synth-pop band, primarily active between 1981 and 1986. The 5 LP's offer recordings from the years 1981-1984: 'Cold War Night Life', 'Yul Records 1981-1983', 'Demos, Obscure, Live and Rare 1981-1983', 'Live in Winnipeg 1983' and 'The Capitol Years 1983/84'.

These three LP's concentrate on his much sought after tape releases from the years 1981-'85, as well as on previously unreleased material from the same period. None of the tracks were remixed or edited and therefore kept in their authentic original and charming form. Includes 'V2 Schneider 1' (1981), 'Body Politix' (1982), 'Blues' (1984), 'Abgrund Der Gefühle' (1984), 'Hong Kong Movements' (1985)' plus demos and previously unreleased tracks.
