"... sounds like a death-cart being wheeled through a medieval street"
--- vital weekly ---
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.
Pressed on black vinyl in a spot-varnished silk-screened card sleeve (by Seizure Palace)
plus pro-printed inner sleeve and 5 card inserts (housed in separate stickered inner sleeve).
If you don't know their work then this is definitely worth exploring.
If you do know them then this is a must.

APSE hail from New England in USA and have been described as
"Post-Rock" / "Avant-Garde/Rock" / "Experimental" / ?? ...
It may indeed be a tired, old, cliché but the band truly defy normal musical stereotyping.
This release presents their debut on vinyl and has been long in the making.
This follow-up to their 2006 CD ( Spirit on Acuarela Discos) is defined as 'a glossary',
that just happens to be a full-length release in its own right.
View the APSE band page ( here)
for videos, discography and more information. Well worth exploring.
The record is pressed on highest quality 180g virgin vinyl and presented in a luxurious gatefold sleeve with
full printed inner and a numbered post-card insert.

All-new full-length LP + 7" set pressed on the highest-quality 180g virgin vinyl with the 7" coming in its own picture sleeve
and the LP coming in a super-heavy casebound sleeve (like those old 1970's US LP sleeves - very heavy, sturdy and lovely!).
We offer here nearly an hour of new sound collages and spheres by the long-established and influential & infamous
nihilists THE NEW BLOCKADERS
working in close collaboration with the hugely acclaimed and long-running sound artists DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE.
It is a little surprising that these artists have not collaborated before.
This is both a challenging and important anti-work that demands close listening as it took ages to
craft the sonic textures contained in these spinning circular vinyl grooves.
The price is somewhat higher than I would like - but this is out of my control and is due to the casebound sleeve is just lovely.

A work of blissful delight. Aidan Baker provides 4 sides of enchantment in this long-in-the-making 2xLP set.
Gathering Blue provides new original material plus a stunning cover of
the Joy Division track "24 Hours"
as well as an extended work-out of the remix of "The Cicada Sings Our Love Song" by
Building Castles Out Of Matchsticks.
We are also treated to a delicate revisiting of the Troum
remix of "When You Scream" - both of the aforementioned remixes were originally
released in 2005 on the ultra-limited and long-deleted Arcolepsy Records CD "Remixes".
This really is Aidan Baker at his very best and a record that is sure to charm.
Comes in a gatefold sleeve, numbered card insert and pressed on heavy 180g virgin vinyl in
3 editions (55 copies on black vinyl, 95 on sky blue vinyl [with white blend] and 294 copies on mottled peacock blue vinyl).

An extended work of majestic beauty and submerged low-end vibrations.
Deluxe box set includes stereo CD and 5.1 surround sound DVD-Audio,
36-page perfectly-bound book, casebound (a/k/a tip-on) gatefold sleeve, hand-numbered insert and
heavy-guage box-slipcase - all designed by Carl Glover @ Aleph Studios.
This work was originally destined for a vinyl release but - sad to say - even the best mastering engineers
could not capture the deep tones present in this gorgeous musical work.
Only the CD + DVD-A formats were able to do the bass and subtle sonic textures justice.
Equation have gone that extra mile on this (our first proper digital) release.
Physically it is similar in look, style and feel to the European
edition of The Porcupine Tree's Fear Of A Blank Planet box set (on Roadrunner Records).
Equation is both delighted and humbled that an artist of Steven Wilson's
stature agreed to let one of his best works to date be issued on our label. You will not be disappointed.

Full-length DOUBLE LP pressed on the highest-quality 180g virgin vinyl.
Four huge glorious monolithic sound-edifices of guitar drone/doom by
NADJA
(aka Aidan Baker and Leah Buckareff). An epic journey starts here.
Maelstrom.com wrote "Bodycage is one of the most serious drone full-lengths ever released". And we agree.
This work really does rank as one of the defining releases of the genre.
The vinyl release reissues most of the long out-of-print CD and CDr versions plus it features an extra 44 mins of
completely new Bodycage-related music.
This monumental work really does work best on vinyl - where
you can hear it as it should - and was intended to be heard.

Full-length LP pressed on the highest-quality 180g virgin vinyl.
Featuring a beautiful heavy-card gatefold sleeve with full-color 2-sided insert featuring an illustrated discography of the band's earlier work.
Up until now, Gravitational IV has been known as
Landing's lost album.
Mostly recorded during the sessions that led to 2004's Sphere,
Gravitational IV is a varied and multi-textured album.
Sound experiments, free flowing drone freakouts, and softly lilting lullabies make up what may be the most accomplished and interesting release of Landing's 8 year career.
This is music to stay indoors with. This is vessyl music.
Most copies come on delicious black vinyl except for 50 mail-order only copies which were
pressed on incredible mint-green vinyl (green vinyl is sold out).

High-quality brown vinyl 12" LP featuring some beautiful artwork.
This LP is loaded with an unforgetable roster of action-packed songs, whirling the listener into a state of inexplicable dementia and
psychiatric ineptitude. Described as "jazz-core", "powdered-wig punk" or "experimental noise-rock", this recording provides a host of
musically disorienting songs from who-knows-where through a combination of many different music styles played with irreverence
and abandon: Be it Killdozer-esque Baron Of Beef
to the haughty posturing of Trash-Knight.
Guanranteed Katch blend punk, jazz, meta and pop into
a unique miasma of humor and whit.

Hexagonal 8" clear vinyl EP in p/s. 6 numbered copies.
All copies were given away to the artists along with the
Damarge mega box set (E=mc04).
This contains the first ever recording by Hadleigh's greatest ever export:
Snowboy.
Due to sheer stupidity by the printers the wrong song title
( "Snowboy's Rockin' The Mike") was printed on the sleeve & label by mistake.
It should in fact be Jump On It.
This is an archive recording made in a bedroom on the most basic equipment possible.
The B-side features 2 tracks from Oaf's unreleased
LP Neuf Oaf Beuf (Sur La Plat).
