Two legends of the hardcore-techno underground scene going "experimental extreme electronics". Once a limited edition of two copies on Moonchild Erik's Faustrecht records... mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

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.

A Terrible Splendour are a London-based duo who weave tales of blackmail and despair, of cruelty and of heartbreak. Their sound is a darkly luxurious synthesized pop. They make a drama out of a crisis. Their live shows are a theatre of love and death, with performances drawing on Weimar-era cabaret. The band’s limited edition cassette EP, released on Desire in autumn 2012, sold out fast and left audiences wanting more. Their wish is now granted with the release of the band’s debut album Poseurs, featuring 11 tracks ranging in style from dissolute disco to sombre cabaret musings. Resolutely modern synth sounds, in turn lush and vicious, combine with lyrics addressing the eternal themes of rebellion, shame and the vagaries of outrageous fortune. mp3 mp3 mp3

Mysterious, surreal darkness by this duo from Italy, blending darkwave and 80s goth with perverse horror soundtrack music. The result is a unique and distinctly Italian sound, full of ethereal and baritone vocals with eerie instrumentation. Recommended listening for followers of the likes of Dead Can Dance, Goblin, Abysmal Grief or the supreme Warning (Germany)!

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

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

Hyperactive musician and filmmaker TZII is no newcomer to the TuT/RuR roaster, since we already had the pleasure to release his much acclaimed BLACK MONOLITH SPACE QUEST soundtrack on Rectangle Astral, and to welcome him on JAW with his project SOLAR SKELETONS. TZII has been making music for almost two decades, and yet SAnd HAert RAge is a first in the artist’s career in several ways: amidst a long discography of CDs and tapes, it is his first solo appearance on vinyl; and more importantly perhaps, it is the first time that he chooses to tackle one of the most fundamental experiences of his life, his Saharian childhood. TZII spent his early years, until adolescence in fact, in Africa, confronted to a multitude of intense, deeply life-altering experiences, from Beninese Voodoo rituals to the endless landscapes of the Sahara desert. An extreme environment, provoking extreme and very divergent emotions, which find their musical expressions in the changing ambiances of the record’s four tracks. From mystery to simple beauty, from melancholy to pure joy, this is an intimate but exalting record, where meditative and festive moods rub shoulders in the most natural way. Best Oriental Chill-Wave for both the dance-floor and your inner eye. mp3 mp3 mp3

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

Here is a new member to the ET family: Utroid. Behind this project goes the producer who was once known as Funxiun and BS-1. The biggest difference between Utroid and the former projects is that the music is less hectic as before. With Utroid the music moves into a more minimal direction while keeping the raw beats and rough vibe. You could call this new beat 2.0 or acid beat…. what you get are dancefloor orientated tracks that range from rather distorted to trippy and spacey…

Veil of Light is back with his first release since the majestically morose album of last year (now sold out). The new 12" EP contains a quartet of songs that capture the artist's signature air of serene and complex industrial melancholy, yet widens the spectrum to include glimpses of, dare I say, joy and hope. All the more powerful, then, the main theme of dead serious exploration of the emotional torso, its appendages and circulatory system. The title, Head/Blood/Chest, inevitably brings to mind the seminal Throbbing Gristle album Journey Through a Body. But the kinship ends there. This is no experimental 1/2-inch tape cacophony. This is beautiful and evocative music, redolent with wonder. The bleak, yet confident, tone echoes like the early literary works of James Graham Ballard, particularly The Drowned World (1963). Head/Blood/Chest is a journey through an emotional as well as visceral landscape, that arrives at the conclusion that the two seemingly dualistic properties are, perhaps, made of the same basic stuff. A hauntingly atmospheric and heart-swelling dreamscape, magnetically etched into twelve inches of black vinyl.

Debut album of the band, featuring such prestigious guests as Jürgen Weber of NOVY SVET, HIS DIVINE GRACE & DITTERICH VON EULER-DONNERSPERG. Between neo-folk, neo-cabaret & industrial sounds... for sure a masterpiece of post-industrial neoist muzak! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Three years after the acclaimed 2004 release "Les Cinq à sept post-néoistes", Wermut are back on Old Europa Café for the second part of the post-neoist vinyl trilogy. This time Laszlo, Sofia and their guests (Demian from Ô Paradis, Dirk from Echo West, Tairy from Ait! and Der Tod P.R.) invite you to a nightly musical supper on the Adriatic coast. More friends, more wine and more songs in best post-industrial-neo-cabaret style. mp3 mp3 mp3

New split EP by Mexican minimal expert Werner Karloff and German Tata Technikk.

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

Minimal synth project from Sweden formed in 1996 and featuring among others Johan Sturesson from KORD and MONSTER APPARAT. Analog power for ever!

"We've always referred to our synths as elemental," says Wendelbo. "Fire is what powers energy, voltage, and electricity. Electromagnetism is electric energy, like lightning in the sky. We control it with potentiometers and buttons; we shape it with filters and envelopes." That explains why Xeno & Oaklander's music has always felt so alive, the result of chemical reactions at its core and chain-linked keys that rattle, hum, and howl. The duo's fifth album, Topiary, is no different; taking its title from hand-sculpted gardens like the stately grounds of Versailles and the highly ornamental Levins Hall, it's an enchanting listen, welcoming you into its self-made world with warm synth washes, moody chamber melodies, and Wendelbo's haunted yé-yé hooks. As catchy as they are discomforting, Wendelbo's lyrics read like poison-tipped poetry, led by lucid passages. Much like their seamless live sets, songs bleed into one another, too, becoming moving parts of one streamlined organism, textured and orchestral at every turn. To reinforce the duo's self-aware sequencing, each side of the vinyl pressing is even bookended by a striking pop song and opulent instrumental.

Expanded reissue of the best (in our opinion) album by Polish chiptune artist Yerzmyey. It includes all 22 tracks from the original album as well as some fresh bonus tracks. The album was recorded on a whole pile of 8-bit and 16-bit computers, such as the ZX81, beloved Speccy, Amiga 500 and so on.

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

Powerful debut album by British instrumental synth-prog act ZOLTAN. A must have for fans of GOBLIN, JOHN CARPENTER, UMBERTO, ZOMBI and everybody who is into analog synth extravaganza. mp3 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

London based ZOLTAN capture the eerie spine-chiiling terror of the decomposed ghoulish Knights Templar with this four track EP, by paying homage to the Tombs of the Blind Dead series of movies created by Spanish director Amando D’Ossorio. Each track relates to one of the four movies from this cult underground series, which are regarded by many as absolute highlights of the Euro Horror underground horror scene of the early 70’s. Slow motion doomed imagery comes to life in full analogue glory, making this a must for any dark minded music lovers and soundtrack collectors out there. mp3 mp3
