Fantastic Magick Ambient split release between those two Italian projects. Beautiful, hypnotic, eerie, scary alchemic soundscapes, more progresseive on 1997EV's side, and more atmospheric on Luna Dopa's. The perfect sound track to your next astral voyage. Recommended! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

With his new side project Aossic S'Lba, Ulex Zane (aka STREICHER) steps into completely new musical territory. Thematically based on the works of Kenneth Grant (of the Typhonian OTO), this first opus surprises with calm, ritualistic soundscapes and ethereal incantations mixed with psychedelic, pulsating analog sounds. An eerie kind of New Age music for your magick meditation hours. Recommended! mp3 mp3 mp3

Five hypnotising eerie tracks from the High Priests of ritual dark ambient. Obsessive reverberated percussions and monotonous crescendos coming from beyond time and out of the deepest and darkest places. This is definitely the most frightening and bowel churning sound the Cold Meat family has offered us so far... mp3 mp3 mp3

Re-release of this classic among classics by the forefathers of satanic Death Ambient, originally on Staalplaat and out of print for over a decade. Let the great Black Mass begin again! mp3 mp3 mp3

Finally the new opus by Merissa d'Erlette, five long years after her first full-length "Rosarium Hermeticum". Her style remains unmistakable - deep and warm ambient intertwined with sounds of nature, ritual bells, remote drumming and sensual vocals, but the music is richer and more varried than anything she has ever made. While still very much atmospheric, the release successfully incorporates spoken words of old poetry and folklore elements, culminating in a medieval ballad. With guest appearances from The Soil Bleeds Black, Andrew King and Dawn & Dusk Entwined. A must-have for fans of esoteric ambient and dark European folklore alike. mp3 mp3 mp3

A musical variation on the traditional myth of the Holy Grail by these two Polish projects. Soothing atmospheres, ethereal gregorian chants and neo-classical sound-collage reminiscent of early Blutharsh take you on a small journey through different moods. The perfect soundtrack for your mystical summer nights. mp3 mp3 mp3 more images

The newest Bad Sector release to date is actualy a re-issue of the 2001 album "The Harrow" (originally on AVA/ES1-Reset). Majestic cosmic soundscapes à la "Ampos" are combined with sounds obtained via a digital Geiger counter using radium as a sound source, military radio communications and a voice treatment software designed by Mr. Magrini himself. Conveys images of a post-nuke world shivering under radioactive snow. An oppressing soundtrack for "the day after". mp3 mp3 mp3

15,- EUR

Reedition of the follow-up to Ampos on Old Europa café. Based on the use of radio signals and electrical manifestations in general, Plasma is a powerful album already presenting the mix of careful sound sculptures and inspired melodic flights which have become the project's trademark. mp3 mp3 mp3

12,- EUR

Great collaboration between the Italian and Japanese projects, each of the two artists exchanging roles as sound provider and sound sculptor. Ranging from dark and melodic space ambient in the vein of "Ampos" to atonal and sometimes noisy sound sculptures. mp3 mp3 mp3

Pen and sequencer meet on this collaboration between ambient maestro BAD SECTOR and Italian Cyberzone-writer Tommaso Lisa. A dark and sharp electronica carries distorted spoken words in a sonic illustration of Lisa's Rebis Periferiche poems. Cyberlounge music, haunted and very danceable at the same time. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

With this first album the one-man project Circular delivers a soft, elegant and emotional drone-ambient opus which highly invites to meditation. The title and project-name actually say it all: slowly unfolding drones made of analogue synths and a delicate use of reverberated guitars reveal before our closed eyes the cyclic nature of time and space and lead the way to the spiritual quest. Initiatic ambient at its best. mp3 mp3 mp3

13,- EUR

Instrumental electronic music, partly ambient and partly rhythmic, very much reminiscent of the soundtracks Goblin and others made for Italian horror flicks in the 70s/80s. A very good release which sadly enough never got the attention it deserves. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

"Alexandreia" is the 6th full-length album of this Lithuanian artist. Warm, solemn and melancholic ethnic soundscapes with additional archaic instruments (hornpipe, bagpipes, tabor and bells) and ethereal chorus fill the room, while the Greek incantations of female vocalist Alvyda, both detached and very moving, conjures the spirit of the Antique, the wisdom and the sadness, the glory and the decay, taking us back to a nexus in time which precipitated us into the ultimate Iron Age. Somewhere between Raison D'Être, In The Nursery and Dead Can Dance. Beautiful. mp3 mp3 mp3

Fir§t Law's fifth album shows a new evolution in the project's work, as their music becomes always more melodic and concedes an always greater place to so-called traditional instruments. Each song of this new opus has an atmosphere and a style of its own, and a dramatic intensity conferring a stark soundtrack-like quality to the whole CD. A new coup de maître by the champions of German cosmic-ambient. mp3 mp3 mp3

Those awaiting with Fjernlys, the new solo-project of Inade's member K. Enderlein, the usual Inade's or even Loki's ambient style, are in for a very big surprise. This first opus is a very personal and inspired song-oriented album, mixing boldly the familiar cosmic sound-sculptures with true melodies and vocals, creating a totally new genre. The second CD contains remixes by Bad Sector, Antlers Mulm, Lovespell and Fir§t law, which give yet another dimension to those already wonderful pieces. So, what is it? Cosmic-wave? Ambient-pop? Who cares! It's just plain bloody brilliant and no doubt the revelation of 2006!!! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

"Bevardès salos" (Nameless Islands) is Girnu Giesmes' tenth opus and the album of maturity. All tracks are intricate sound fabrics whose each frequency, each sample and rhythmic have been composed by the artist himself. The style varies from drones to ambient, through rhythmic industrial. All in all, a rather noisier opus than the past albums by the Lituanian artist. mp3 mp3 mp3

14,- EUR

Remastered re-issue of their long deleted first album (originally released 1999). Deep trance-inducing drones and highly evocative cosmic soundscapes punctuated with tribal chants and percussions seem to echo from times before time to give us a glimpse of the world's most ancient and wildest secrets. A masterpiece of dark ritual ambient. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

13,- EUR

Superb collaboration between the ambient master and the industrial pioneer. The soundscapes of HERBST 9 and complex percussions of Z'EV merge into a perfectly harmonious tribal-ambient masterpiece, each enhancing the other's music and giving it a new approach. Not all musical collaborations are successful, but in this case both artists seem to have surpassed themselves in the process. mp3 mp3 mp3

Moonchild Erik’s 4th CD album takes the shape of a metaphysical reflection on the deceptions of human language. Musically more accessible than “Eurydice” or “Reverse Aleph”, this very diverse opus is the worthy successor of “Die Schlangenkönigin”, hovering between emotional soundscape, spacey dub rhythms, gloomy, awe-inspiring drones and even noisy elements. An initiation through pure sound. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

This playful and versatile little opus declines the Faustian theme in 4 compositions between ambient, folk and neo-classical. Here reminiscent of the Krst Pod era of Laibach, there of Der Blutharsch, Allerseelen or even Karnnos, and with Aleister Crowley samples giving the whole a nice 80ies flair. Includes collaborations with H.E.R.R. and Der Arbeiter, respectively declaiming Marlowe in English and Dante in Spanish, and tasty esoteric artwork by Merissa d'Erlette (aka Artefactum). Small but powerful! mp3 mp3 mp3

Ninth album by Swedish electronic ambient experimentalist Erik Jarl. Icy pulsating drones from an obscure future where no life dwells and oscillators and microchips rule. At times very calm, at times harsh and agressive, but overall desperate and utterly dark. mp3 mp3 mp3

"Turbulence Colour" is the tenth album by Swedish composer Erik Jarl, containing two and a half hours of new, never released sound material over two CDs. Remaining true to his original but dismal style, Jarl deivers long, hypnotic tracks conveying highly morbid, unbearably depressing states of the human psyche. As always with Autarkeia, this double opus comes in a very elegant slip box and digipack, making a highly collectible pair with the "Tunnel Vision / Mind Reaper" double tape release. mp3 mp3 mp3

20,- EUR

Re-release of a 1999 tape by IRM-member ERIK JARL. Very dark, anxiety-generating synthetic ambient soundtrack, sometimes quite close to early IRM or Anenzephalia welcomes the listener into a robotic, degenerate future. mp3 mp3 mp3

Very impressive first OEC appearance for the Italian project K11 (aka Pietro Riparbelli aka PT-R). The album is themed around the "Sacred Wood of Bomarzo", a 16th-century baroque garden in central Italy whose hidden meaning has puzzled and fascinated generations. Also called the "Park of monsters", it is inhabited by huge, stone-carved eerie figures inspired by several literary sources of a mythological / esoteric nature. Conceived as a part of the artist's research about "the sound, environment and esoteric dimensions within some magical places", this album is no ambient CD to be heard casually, but a demanding, hypnotic and awe-inspiring work, which imposes its presence like the statues it has vowed to commit to sound. Nature field-recordings slowly submerged into reverberating chthonian sound-structures and guitar-drones like muffled screams, the music mutates between calm, underlying threat and outbursts of violence, translating superbly both the feelings of enchantment and estrangement the Sacred Wood is said to provoke. Inspired!

This second solo album from BSE's weird scientist K. MEIZTER is conceived as the dark companion to the 2006 release "Travelling Light". Like on the first album, the experience here is totally different from BSE's or Swedish bands' in general. MEIZTER's ambient is much more rhythmic and melodic, between dub and cosmic ambient, not unlike the German project FIR$T LAW. Somehow "Dark Matters" manages to be at the same time utterly sinister and, well, there's no other word for it, groovy. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

True to its chosen name (for "Laufey's son" is none other than Loki, the most versatile and unpredictable god of the Norse mythology) this Dutch project delivers with its first CD an interesting melange of styles, daringly blending dark ambient with cold electronica and neo-classical loops and choirs with a pulsating electro. A seductively cheeky and thoroughly enjoyable debut! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

A must have for all those who like the 83-84 era of the italian Maestro. Similar to "The Plain Truth" and "Carcinosi", this 2005 release on italian label SmallVoices offers delayed and reverberated meditative ambient, like only MB can do it. Highly recommended! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

MB dives further into minimalism with these three reverberated piano tracks. Hypnotizing, apathetic but full of multiplicity with kaleidoscopic sounds and complex patterns, this release leads the listener into a conscious dream state. A new page in MB's long and legendary history... mp3 mp3 mp3

MesseBasse is the meeting of three characters, different both from their respective musical culture and from their performances: the dark and noisy world of DOULEURFANTOME aka CREATURE comes into resonnance with the experimental approach of Fabrice Richard's bass guitar, both being sublimated by the haunting, Chinese-opera-like vocals of the theatrical Azuza Kurokawa. This is their third album, that of instrumental maturity: powerful yet ethereal, quiet though disturbing, sad but ultimately optimistic. mp3 mp3

When the Canadian "avant metal / drone doom"-duo NADJA and the German post-industrial / experimental drone pioneers TROUM combine their exceptional styles, they form something even vaster as usually known from them. These three long collaboration tracks were recorded as a result of a spontaneous improvisation in April 2008 "live in the studio" near the Weser-river in Bremen, Germany, and suck you in with their powerful & emotional drone melancholy that works in many micro-& macrocosmic ways, using electric & acoustic guitars, bass, accordeon, drum-machine & voice. In stunning copper / black digipack. mp3 mp3 mp3

Take a deep, deep breath. Forget your surroundings and concentrate on the throb of the pendulum slowly disappearing in the mists of mineral drones…  on the count of ten you will awake in the world of (recluse). A lunar world, both cool and emotional, filled with organ and free-reed soundscapes, rustling, swirling and simmering drones and celestial harmonies which take you back to a primeval and elemental state. Feel like a rock in the middle of the ocean or a fossilised oak tree in a dark ancestral wood as Nature Morte’s nightfall music soothingly flows around you, both feather light and heavy with secrets. A majestic debut for this French one-man-project. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Two masters of Scandinavian dark ambient allow themselves to be perverted by the new heartthrob of international cyber-litterature, Japanese "madman" Kenji Siratori. These 2 collaborations work surprisingly well, Siratori's spoken words stay sparse and blend perfectly with the music. While Nordvargr stays true to his usual deep, black-hole ambient, BSE deliver very nice future-lounge/dark ambient macro-dub songs, sometimes reminiscent of SCORN. Comes in a very special plastified fold-out box and attractive artwork by P. Mc Carroll. And for the cyber-freaks among you there's of course a Siratori's book to match. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 more images

Chtonikka is the second album by Lithuanian post industrial project OORCHACH. Six new tracks dedicated to the arcane world Chtonikka, whose vision the artist conveys through gloomy industrial loops, coarse and dirty lo-fi sound and powerful tribal rhythms. mp3 mp3 mp3

The name of this new ritual project by Lithuanian artist PoPo comes from the culture of the Northern Siberian nations: the term “Oorchach” defines a very specific archaic artefact of the household, an iron ring used on new-born domestic animals to prevent them from sucking their mother’s milk. The name reveals the intention of the project, that of reviving the "signs and sounds" of an extinguished culture, through powerful tribal rhythms, ritual chants and monotone loops which convey the archaic, shamanic atmosphere. mp3 mp3 mp3

Icy winds blowing in from the north as a blizzard is approaching. An old 78 rpm acetate record stuck in a scratch. Fading memories of brave men and grand ideas. The relentless beat of a lonely drummachine... All these elements are parts of the unique soundpalette of Resignation, consisting of Sweden´s most prolific musician Henrik Nordvargr Björkk (MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh, HH9, Econocon, Vargar, Marvargr...) and debutant N-G Ekholm. joining forces to push the boundaries of both ambient and techno. Highly reminiscent of Mike Ink's GAS project. Recommended! mp3 mp3

Another project by the Lithuanian ambient maestro LARYNAS JUKONIS (ORO! ORO!, GIRNU GIESMÈS). The first album of SVAIXT ("svastika") was made using exclusively singing bowls, without any digital input. The resulting trance inducing brass drones have a highly meditative and buddhist feel about them and takes us on an esoteric journey East. mp3 mp3 mp3

After 5 years finally a new opus by the German ambient project Tho-So-aa. This is their most complex and dense album to date, between threatening collages and experimental loops on one side, melancholic soundscapes and dark bass-drones on the other. The use of industrial sounds, classical instruments and voice samples is perhaps more extensive than in the project's previous works, and the overall mood strikes as particularly oppressive and depressive throughout. The soundtrack to our lives beyond invisible bars. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Mare Idiophonika ('The Self-Playing Ocean') is the new album by the German duo TROUM and contains the studio-version of the live programme Troum performed in 2007, with a new ending added later. Using bass, guitars, metal objects, voices and choirs and for the first time also singing-bowls and ‘dry’ beats Troum creates yet another magnificent journey into unknown dimensions. Its sounds are stunning and enchanting, leaving one in a state of bewilderment while exploring the world of the unconscious. This is the European version with different artwork (silver-black printed large cardboard-folder) by WIM PAUWELS.

14,- EUR

Reissue of TROUM's first opus and masterpiece, originally released on Belgian label Myotis Records in 1998. Dark hypnotising atmo-noise alternates with reverberated heavenly drones, crystalline layers of strings and pulsating shamanic rhythms. The essence of drone music! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

13,- EUR

SHUTUN is the studio version of a live-programme which TROUM performed through 2005 and 2006 with the help of the project ALL SIDES. 50 minutes of majestic and melodic soudscapes with reverberated guitars tell the tale of worlds being created and destroyed... Very reminiscent of the most cosmic Loki releases. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Second offspring of the "label for drone music and dulcet atmospheres" EX OVO. A very ambitious sampler, sort of "hall of fame" in the field of atmospheric music - prestigious name upon prestigious name, from synthetiser pioneer Richard Lainhart and former Tangerine Dream member S. Jolliffe to very influential old and new drone projects. Minimal shamanistic soundscapes, fragile melodic outputs & subtle noise ambient, 9 brilliant tracks to give silence a new shape. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

The seemingly crazy concept of this record actually works wonders as the rather impressive international line-up rise magnificently to the occasion, delivering definitely black, very drony, rather creepy destructions, which are real masterpieces. One of those rare samplers which achieve real homogeneity and definitely bring something new into this world. TROUMs “painted black” is in itself reason enough to grab it! mp3 mp3 mp3

Featuring: Horologium, Foundation Hope, Project Winter and Artefactum. Four young industrial/ambient projects pay homage to one of the most famous Places of the Dead: the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
