Taxidermia Mental is a dark EBM / Synthwave band from Villarreal (Spain) started in 1987 by Michel Escudero and Iván Ortiz.
The songs on this their first and only album were extracted from the original demo cassettes, recorded by Taxidermia Mental in 1990 and 1992 in their rehearsal studio.

This is a tribute to the movie and score “Scanners” made by the genius duo of filmmaker David Cronenberg and composer Howard Shore. This is not a cover of the incredible filmmusic, it is intended to help the listener to fall into the creepy and intense atmosphere of the film. So prepare yourself for the scanning experience. Long live the new flesh! mp3 mp3

New release from this US underground legend from San Francisco. Four transcendental drone masterworks abstracted from electric guitar bristle with life through the dense, rich and detailed sonic expanse of Dimuzio's glorious sound world. Vibrating wires inform a digital musique concrete modus operandi replete with unheard studio techniques which form a music with a strong organic core, opening wide rooms for pahantastic aural imaginations: like flying over endless grounds of unknown origin, sensing a heavy suction of extreme gravity, moving towards a black hole center... or driving into a totally dark mining tunnel with all the metallic ore and dust around. These are drones that live from the inside! Comes with striking gatefold artwork by Mars Wellink.

"Animal Soul" contains 11 songs seemingly from different continents and different times. Some from the peak of Kilimanjaro, others from an ancient American plain, others still maybe from a Vietnamese jungle... some from nowhere at all. Each randomly mixed splatter vinyl LP is housed in a hand-printed chipboard jacket with a lyrics sheet and download card.

Moody new songs about magic, jungles and various illusions from Thomas Nöla. "Future Illusions" spans genres, fitting none. The CD version comes in a black arigatopak hand-stamped with paints and pigments on the outside, and a full lyrics booklet on the inside. mp3

Stunning shadow sound from Italian solo artist Matteo Brusa, known for his powerful Dungeon Synth work as Medhelan. This dark debut from the project (translated as The 13th Moon) offers a flawless form of foreboding night-sky synthesis and ominous drone, a cryptic key to the eternal lunar mysteries. Moonlight as filtered through branch and fog, a pristine transmission of somber atmospherics for seasonal shift. "Only those who are not afraid to dive into the night can follow the path traced by the stars."

Recorded by Iggy Coldkoff (Salta Kava) and Voov Pauli (Sixteens, Submergent Corridors) - Coldkoff operating from a small London compartment and Pauli from a garage in the middle of some dry, barren, owl infested hills in Central California - "Listen To Seashell" is Tropikorps' first release. It explores the theme of unresolved "mind polarity" (or, as some would prefer to call it, the "mental pinball game") of tropical fetishism... A totally original record, highly recommended! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

T.V. Sovietica was an exploratory sound project from Valencia (Spain) developed in 1983 in the postpunk era, which built on the work of “Neonada y Atentados”. From these beginnings evolved a brief, dark and unsettled trajectory based on sound effects inspired by electronic German music, the darkest, most introspective postpunk, moving towards “industrial” and “anti-music” styles. The essence of its sound combines the use of guitars and electric bass with electronic instruments, acoustic percussion, mechanical elements and vocals. Confronting frequencies elaborated from improvised riffs with vocal expression. Of the same generation as bands such as Esplendor Geometrico and Aviador Dro. The lost model, now recovered in this work, demonstrates the beginnings of Spanish synthpop with “Contacto Telepatico”, the influence of New Wave in “La matanza de los bebes foca”, moving towards the conceptual project “Islandia” to which the majority of the themes belong. “ Oxido en tus ojos” (1984) draws to a close a period of work for the band, probably in its most corrosive moment. mp3 mp3 mp3

TV ZOMBIES from Paris, France, is the joined effort of MACHINE MORTE (also known as ZENOVONZAN) and SANTA ESPINA (who released an album on Black Horizons and collaborated with J. Weber as SUSA24). After a couple of extremely limited 7-inches on their own imprint Création Par Le Vide (which are included on this album), here comes the first long player of the French twosome. Feasting on 1930s Surrealism and early zombie flicks, TV ZOMBIES succeed in creating a chilling atmosphere of delicate spookiness, archaic gloom and haggishness that will give you the impression that some evil ghoulish creature is right behind you, just about to drag you into the smokey black swamp of modern mass media hypnosis. Old fashioned organs, eerie HERMANN KOPP’ian melodies and infernal sluggish loops offer the perfect backdrop to Santa Espina’s husky monotones, seeming to emerge from the beyond, all summoning the monstrous Golem of our modern times… This is the real unsurpassed horror that lurks in this day and age. Are you awake? Or are you still sleeping? more info and soundclips 

Three years after his acclaimed solo debut on Nekofutschata, Novy Svet’s long-time collaborator Tristan Sasao finally returns to show us a definitely more electronic facet of his unpredictable talent. A crystalline séance in prog-elektro disguise, “The Skin I’m in” is a truly unclassifiable album which addresses both the body and the mind, playfully swaying between post-cabaret electronica, freaked-out analogue breaks and acid chill-out ditties. A masterpiece of modern experimental electronics, expect nothing but genius! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

There were times, blessed times when man had not yet lost the sense of his connection to both Nature and the Sacred, when church bells used to be heard across the countryside to banish approaching storms from hamlets and villages. In our Teutonic regions, this was called “Wetterläuten” – the “chiming away” of bad weather. Anyone who ever had the privilege of experiencing the ecstatic and all-embracing live improvisations of WERNER CEE (e-chin / lapsteel guitar / electronics), NORBERT GROSSMAN (synth / church organ) and EVA KORN (gongs), will understand why the South-German trio choose this archaic name for their project. WETTERLÄUTEN’s atmospheric manipulations range from dreamy sunset drones to heavy pre-storm electricity to apocalyptic orchestral deluge, penetrating and bringing into motion the very cosmic fabric around them. Their unmistakable sound owes much to their unusual instrumentation, especially the combination of e-chin (an electric version of the ancestral Chinese Guqin zither) and live electronics, and of course Eva’s virtuosic gong playing. Understanding themselves more as a musical concept than a band, WETTERLÄUTEN regularly involve other musicians, especially Norwegian guitarist ALF TERJE HANA and drummer MICHAEL HOFMANN. Reue um Reue is excessively proud to present their first ever official release. Welcome in the eye of the cyclone. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Zenovonzan is a French one-man project from Paris created in 2005. Composed in 2010 and largely improvised in a half waking, half sleeping state, "Hypnose" is the project's first coherent album, and the first work to come out of almost total confidentiality. The result is a feast of psychedelic synth-prog, reminiscent of GÜNTER SCHICKERT, CONRAD SCHNITZLER, or MOEBIUS and ROEDELIUS. Recommended!! mp3 mp3 mp3

London´s ZOLTAN follow up their 2012 album “First Stage Zoltan” by honouring a classic British cult movie from the 1970´s – Psychomania! In their very special way Zoltan took several themes and melodies from the brilliant fuzzed-out score by JOHN CAMERON, and created an epic 13 minute suite of wonderful and fantastic Soundtrack Prog! As a special gimmick this is a 12” mini-LP with one side of music and another side containing several locked grooves from the movie! mp3 mp3 mp3

ZOLTANs "Sixty Minute Zoom" takes the building blocks of influence carved from the likes of film composer FABIO FRIZZI, Italian prog giants GOBLIN and Pittsburgh duo ZOMBI and erects here a monument to their own creativity and unique compositional eye. Indeed, every aspect of Sixty Minute Zoom sounds more focused, confident and actualized as keyboardist Andy Thompson, bassist/keyboardist/guitarist Matt Thompson and drummer Andrew Prestidge lock into each others' musical strengths and unleash what is most certainly the defining Zoltan release up until this point in the band's career. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3
