1997EV - ZETA RETICULI
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 017, LP - marbled dark red / glittering ornage / gold-marbled transparent vinyl - 9 tracks - lim. edition of 315 copies)
Four years and several intense live appearances after their much acclaimed debut CD on Punch Records, 1997EV are back, this time on vinyl, with a new masterpiece of pure minimal post-psychedelia. “Zeta Reticuli” is a long, dark, trance inducing ritual journey verging on astral bad trip. Spooky, spacey, percussion-driven and guitar-loaded ballads unfold with a Voivod-like weirdness in the back of your mind, served by AndreaEV’s deep, hypnotizing vocals and an occasional drift of intoxicating Theremin sounds. Reminiscent of Goblin and S/T, with a hint of Earth and an overall feel of early Ordo Equilibrio on LSD, those hallucinogenic cosmic flowers will leave their imprint burnt on the retina of your inner eye long after the record has stopped spinning. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

AD ABSURDUM - AUSUFERUNG
(Treue um Treue # T.U.T. 010, LP black vinyl - in innerdisco sleeve + jacket - 11 tracks - lim. ed. 317, hand-numbered)
First full-length LP by AD ABSURDUM, aka the Giorgio Moroder of Black Minimal Chiptunes, aka the Grand Master of Viking Synthie Pop. Locked up in his cellar with his faithful Amiga 500, our lonesome bard has spent two years brewing up the most improbable brand of weird but cheerful minimal elektro with a definite all-over BM feeling... Add to this cocktail a couple of COILesque ambient tunes and a medieval rhythmic-noise anthem, and you’ll get a whole new experience in electronic music, discarding all genre boundaries like once Njurmännen, but with guaranteed dance-floor efficiency... So put on your corpse paint and slip in the Workbench V1.3 : for here come True German Black Minimal Chip Tunes! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

AIDAN BAKER - BACH EINGESCHALTET, VIERTER BAND
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 020, 7" EP - clear silver grey vinyl - 2 tracks - lim. ed. 166 hand-numbered copies)
The fourth instalment of “Bach Eingeschaltet” by Canadian guitar-drone hero AIDAN BAKER is a double-edged sword: his interpretations of the maestro are both the closest to the originals, almost academic in execution, and in the end the most deconstructive. The live arrangement for electric guitar of the famous cello suite Prelude slowly but surely drowns in a mist of effects abuse, while the epic and lush metal-drone version of a menuet is carried away by NADJAesque lumbering guitar chords in streams of boundless distortion. mp3 mp3 14,- EUR |

ALONE - FOSSILIZED IN CONCRETE 1995-2006
(Treue um Treue # T.U.T. 012, LP - crystal clear vinyl - with cartoon-insert - 9 tracks - lim. ed. of 318, hand-numbered)
ALONE from Belgrade have been active both as a performing and recording project since 1994. Their style is a unique brand of high-tech electro-wave, allying the pathos and weirdness of KIRCHOHMFELD, the complexity and killing beat-programming of LASSIGUE BENDTHAUS and the unpredictability of PIERRE NORMAL. This is their first ever vinyl release, a selection of tracks spanning a period of almost 12 years. Definitely pop but never easy, futurist and neo-romantic at times, ALONE’s music remains through the years as unfamiliar and utterly compelling as the post-apocalyptic landscapes it tells us about. Like a voice from the outer world, ALONE takes us to the nexus in time and space where each may find their Golden Path. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

BEX - ROSEGGER
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 022, LP - chrystal clear vinyl - 5 tracks - lim. ed. of 200 hand-numbered)
Third opus by Berlin-based one-man project Bex. Originally from France, Bex has released two CDs on the French label “Le Dernier Cri” and played a great many concerts throughout Europe since his first live gig back in 2006. “Rosegger” is his first vinyl appearance, his most luminous and most intense work to date. As if emerging through some hermetic transformation from the harshness and anger of the previous albums, “Rosegger” is ablaze with a radiant, almost ecstatic mixture of joy and grief, drenched in light even in its darkest moments. Melodic guitarscapes and distant shoegaze vocals between lament and incantations pour over the listener, filling every pore, vein and cell with a warm, brittle, spellbinding emotion, taking him adrift on luminous waters which progressively darken on side B, finally drowning the incandescence into deep pools of doom drones like a glorious, achingly beautiful sunset. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 16,- EUR |

DOLINA - DOLINA
(Treue um Treue # T.U.T. 016, LP - black vinyl - 1 insert - 11 tracks - lim. ed. of 320 copies)
Long overdue debut album of the Franco-Belgian electronic trio. While their music undeniably carries the heritage of French Cold Wave - think DIE BUNKER and TRISOMIE 21 - their synth ethics are more akin to those of David Harrow or N.O.’s Gillian Gilbert. With their brothers in arms PIERRE NORMAL they share a taste for carefully arranged lyrics and electronics, but if their take on French Chanson is equally synth-driven, it is also far more sombre, flirting at times with Angst Pop and even Bat Cave. Powerful anthems, ghostly waltzes and chilling sweet-sour ballads, served by male and female vocals in French and English, haunt the grooves of this eponymous first LP, which reveals the band as one of the spearheads of the Cold Synth-Wave renaissance. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

DR. C. STEIN - LIÈGE IN THE SPRING
(Treue um Treue # T.U.T. 008, 10" - black vinyl - in discosleeve + jacket - 7 tracks - lim. ed. of 514, hand-numbered)
Second chapter of Treue um Treue’s collaboration with synthesizer magician Dr C. STEIN, “Liège in the Spring” presents a new selection of songs which, like the analogue gems on the previous “Echo Trip”, were all initially recorded between 1983 and 1988. But this time the mood is more versatile and adventurous. Here solemn and experimental, there playful and dance-floor orientated, this second vinyl appearance gives a fuller measure of the artist’s multiple talent. This time the Doctor not only plays, but also occasionally sings for you and even comes back to his first love, the flute, on one track. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 14,- EUR |

ESCAMA SERRADA - ECHIS CARINATUS
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 016, LP - marbled silver vinyl - 11 tracks - lim. edition of 319 copies)
“Echis Carinatus” is the second release and first long-player by Barcelona-based post-industrial project Escama Serrada. In the two years since “La Reina està mala” (their debut split-CD with Ô Paradis on Tourette Records), the band around S. Méndez has moved from musical Dadaism to musical Surrealism, leaving behind some of the more cabaret influences to develop a darker, more psychedelic, almost prog-rock sound, and thus find their very own sonic identity. If the collage aesthetics remain, the incantatory, “écriture automatique” vocals and above all R. Riba’s psyché rock guitar input invest the opus with a surreal, intensely ritualistic mood, between shamanic trance and psychedelic improvisation. Reminiscences of Faust, NWW and Richard Pinhas lurk around the sinuous coils of this Echis Carinatus, which will slither its way under your skin like the serpent of the same name. Featuring guest appearances by Demian (Ô Paradis), Laszlo & Sofia (Wermut) and Moonchild Eric (HDG). mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

FIENDISH FIB - DOWN IN THE MINE
(Treue um Treue # T.U.T. 017, LP, bubblegum pink vinyl - 22 tracks - 4 inserts - lim. ed. of 309 hand-numbered copies)
Three years after the “Nervous Split”, Fiendish Fib return to TuT/RuR with a retrospective LP, the outcome of a long search into the depths of the Franco-German duo’s secret tape-archives. Here are 22 songs of DIY subterranean post-punk, dada lo-fi art-rock, state of the art tape industrial, home-made teen-horror-movie soundtracks, potlatch drinking symphonies, darkly alienated proto-techno and sheer bat’n’roll insanity. A 50 minutes trip down Fiendish Fib’s memory mine, which takes us back to the days of tape-overdub abuse, radios turned guitar effects, MS 10 bleepadelica and vintage beat box worshipping. Enough to send shivers of delight down the spine of every Insane Music or Ptôse aficionado. “Et en avant la musique…” mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 16,- EUR |

FRANCE - GRAND TOUR
(Rectangle Astral # Angle01, 12"EP - 4 tracks - 500 copies)
It all started as a joke at a party. How would it be to create a French-singing, French-themed band called France? Music-wise, it would have to be 80s of course. With Telex and Kraftwerk as ultimate references... Well, there will always be people who can’t take a joke. People like Henning Specht (Fiendish Fib, Hypnolove), François Remigi (Abberline) and Pierre Gastou (Fiendish Fib). Together, they decided to turn this unlikely project into solid reality. The result is a unique mixture of pulsating Italo Disco, revisited French Touch and synth-driven Chanson, where romanticism and dry wit collide. A first tour de France, which is also a tour de force, with four mind-blowing dance-floor killers. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 11,- EUR |

GNOSTIC GNOMES - ZWERGENLIEDER
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 007, 2x 5" - 7 tracks - in 8-panel foc + 1 paper dwarf - lim. ed. of 495 hand-numbered copies)
After two years of fervent toil in the Spirit Mountain, the GNOSTIC GNOMES finally present their epitaph to the abandoned "Cabana Del Nan", one of the last holy places in our ever dissolving world, where the little ones, now in exile, once dwelt. The four members of the band, who are in fact the vertically challenged alter-egos of Frl. Tost, J. Weber, Sofia E. R. and Laszlo P. S., crawl out of their secret cave under cover of the lengthening nights to tell us their strange winter tale. On "Zwergenlieder", bohemian combat-folk in old NOVY SVET fashion meets WERMUT's longing-for-ancient-times folktronics. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 13,- EUR |

After 11 years in the bleak realm of magick electronics. Moonchild Erik moves to the desolate woods of ambient post-black-metal. Exit HIS DIVINE GRACE, enter Erik's new project DE GRÂCE, featuring LaMort on chords and vocals. REUE UM REUE and LaMort's label JUST ANOTHER WINTER join forces to celebrate the transition, in the shape of a split LP between the dying and the newly-born. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 13,- EUR |

ICH WOLLTE, ICH KÖNNTE - AT THE GATE
(Treue um Treue # T.U.R. 015, 7" EP - golden vinyl - 4 tracks - 3 inserts - lim. ed. 366 hand-numbered copies)
It is written that somewhere between dawn and noon, in a place bright like the sun, there is a door…. Three years after “In Memoriam”, IWIK are back with a 7-inch EP inspired by Saint John the Apostle and the symbolism of the solsticial gates. Whilst thematically closer to Tradition than in their previous works, IWIK stay musically true to their own brand of cold and melancholic electro-wave, as the four new ballads on this record follow in the steps of the acclaimed debut LP. Esoteric cold-romantica at its best! mp3 mp3 mp3 11,- EUR |

JOHANNA LIEBHART - DAMALS...
(Treue um Treue # T.U.R. 013, 10" - black vinyl - 7 tracks - in special foc sleeve + inserts - lim. ed. 277, hand-numbered)
Long-forgotten electro-wave diva of the early 80s, JOHANNA LIEBHART (aka “ANNA”) disappeared in largely unknown circumstances in 1999, leaving behind several unreleased albums. Some will know her style from the first IWIK LP, which was inspired by, and largely based on some of her compositions. The tracks on this 10” are all taken from Anna’s early tape recordings, and represent some of her most emotional and intimate works, as simple and modest in their beauty as the personality of their creator was facetious. Seven neo-romantic analogue-synth pieces, entirely instrumental. Sacral, minimal and utterly desperate, like the disclosing of someone’s secret chapel, or the hidden garden of a run-down doll-house. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 14,- EUR |

NARROW - FROM DIY WITH LOVE
(Treue um Treue # T.U.R. 014, LP - white vinyl - 10 tracks - in discosleeve + foc sleeve + inlay - lim. ed. of 310 copies)
Inspired by the collage and improvisation aesthetics of the likes of TG and CABARET VOLTAIRE, the music of the now defunct Croatian duo NARROW is pure DIY, acknowledging cut’n’paste and lo-fi analogue sound processing as both a working method and a source of inspiration. The band's weapons of choice are a couple of tape decks, an old walkman and actual synths and effects, with which they take us back to the heyday of tape-industrial. Ten highly rhythmic, noise-informed minimal gems, sometimes mutating into catchy electro songs which carry in them both post-punk echoes and angst-pop promises. Think Esplendor Geometrico, Blackhouse, early Portion Control as well as Mental Codes. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 14,- EUR |

NATURE MORTE - (NUÉES)
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 011, LP - grey marbled vinyl - 4 tracks - lim. edition of 222 hand-numbered copies)
You are standing on the cliffs at the end of the world, looking upon the abandoned ruins of a rainy and stormy aftermath. A bitter sense of loss and solitude washes over you, and yet you feel the comfort of some distant paradise lost. You see clouds drifting apart as cones of sunlight fall on the remains of what once was. You are in the world of (nuées), the 2nd full-length album and 1st vinyl release of Brittany-based project NATURE MORTE: four long, highly emotional and hypnotic ambient pieces, which will leave you speechless as the reverberated strings, reeds and whispered voices immerge you into a pool of celestial sadness. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,50 EUR |

NIEDOWIERZANIE - ATTENDRE
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 021, LP - black vinyl - 12 tracks - lim. edition of 198 hand-numbered copies)
Three years and many live gigs after the self-titled debut, Niedowierzanie’s music has lost nothing of his maestria and exotic flavour. The complex compositions using a variety of acoustic instruments and digital effects still tell us of faraway places, conjuring vivid pictures of south-American landscapes, Mediterranean balconies and eastern harbours. But it has also become more accessible, leaving behind the long experimental pieces and turning instead to shorter, more rhythmic, even danceable songs full of Bohemian romanticism and Mediterranean flair. Dreamy, lazily swaying ballads alternate with somber pieces like funeral marches in the heat and dust of a summer evening, revealing sudden pangs of unease and anguish behind the flowing southern nonchalance. With “Attendre”, Niedowierzanie delivers a masterpiece of Post-Mediterranea worthy of such legends as Novy Svet or Mushroom’s Patience. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 16.- EUR |

NIEDOWIERZANIE - NIEDOWIERZANIE
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 009, LP - white vinyl - 5 tracks - lim. edition of 200 hand-numbered copies)
The Marseille/Berlin based solo project NIEDOWIERZANIE, presenting here their first official album in the shape of five long instrumental pieces of neo-classical sound sculptures. Flirting both with IDM and contemporary music, mixing organic compositions (using a wide range of string, wind and self-made instruments) with electronic cut-ups and field recordings from the artist’s native Marseille and his extensive journeys through India, these intense, complex and luminous crescendos evoke the works of artists as diverse as COIL, MIRROR, MIASTO NIE SPALO and ARVO PÄRT. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 16.- EUR |

Here cometh JUST ANOTHER WINTER's second offering, the "no drums" depressive BM solo-project of LaMort (DE GRÂCE, WERMUT, IWIK). Widely inspired by the Revelation of St John, "Comme Une Mer De Verre" takes the listener on a profoundly desolate and breathtaking prophetic journey to the end of times.

NOVY SVET - INTO YOUR SKIES
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 019, LP, black vinyl - 22 tracks - in 6-panel fold-out poster-sleeve in 3 different colours - lim. edition of 507 hand-numbered copies)
First record to emerge from the exploration of the Novy Svet archives, “Into Your Skies” gathers 22 previously unreleased tracks from the years 2001-2003. Most of them were originally composed and recorded for an English Folk album which never came into being until today. Passionate, vindictive and oh so emotional, those stripped-down songs of love and hate, death and despair hit the bull’s eye with their bitterness, misanthropy and gut honesty. If the English-only lyrics come as a surprise, in style and mood this lost and found opus is pure, quintessential Novy Svet… the ultimate “combat-folk” album! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 001, 10" grey vinyl - 2 tracks - foc sleeve - 5 inserts - lim. edition of 525 hand-numbered copies)
Combining magnificiently the unique bohemian cabaret from the most Viennese band on the Costa Brava and the haunting illuminated soundscapes of the mysterious Moonchild Erik, this collaboration is an homage to the millions of insects which every night lose their lives to the irresistible attraction of artificial lights. Experience within two experimental/ambient 13-minutes-tracks the tragic destiny of an insect, dying in the illusion of having reached the stars. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 13,- EUR |

JAW is very proud to present the long awaited first vinyl release of the unchallenged master of acoustic fog music. "How The Heather Moonlit Shivers" is the bleakest PROCER VENEFICUS to date : yet the unmistakable nebular ambiance remains, the darkest of night with all its swirling ghosts seems to close in on the listener and urges the trembling hand to finally switch on the light. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 22,- EUR |

The Skeletons are unleashed again, this time plunging into the dismal fogs of Dantesque blackened drone buzzadelics. Both haunting and transcending, harrowing and angelic, the "Frozen Jail Of Reversed Demons" is a monumental blend of post black metal fuzzscapes and eerie cello and synthesizer drones. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 14,- EUR |

SUNEATERS - COSMIC INSIGHT, BABY, PART ONE
(Reue um Reue # R.U.R. 005, 10" golden vinyl - 2 tracks - special foc sleeve - lim. edition of 347 hand-numbered copies)
"Berliner Schule" electronics are back. Tobias Fischer (Feu Follet/Naarmann und Neiteler) and Mirko Uhlig (Aalfang mit Pferdekopf), display here their love for floating pads, pulsating sequencers, dynamic melodies and freely breathing soundscapes, combining the warmth and deepness of analogue "cosmic music" with emotional drones and contemporary electronics. Think Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, Kluster and Eno, but also the magical musical territories of Coil, Robert Fripp and Mirror. Featuring the guest appearance of Steve Jolliffe (Supertramp, Tangerine Dream) on flute. mp3 mp3 15,- EUR |

TEATRO SATANICO GOLD IN BLEI (Treue um Treue, TuT018, 7", 157 copies on gold vinyl, 157 copies on lead vinyl, in printed jacket, 2 tracks, hand-numbered) Treue um Treue is very proud indeed to present the latest alchemical endeavour of Teatro Satanico, the cult Italian project whose devilish wit and magick electronics have been the talk of the post-industrial scene for the last 20 years. On “Gold in Blei”, they chose to invoke two of the most infamous female figures of Germany’s recent past, two parallel destinies, two deep wounds of the German psyche: Ulrike Meinhof the fallen angel and Ilse Koch the uprising demon. Staged with all the flavour and cruel humour of a morbid nursery rhyme, this unseemly yin yang put to a post-revivalist technoid beat shows TS as unpredictable and irreverent as ever. So, who is Kasper and who the Devil? Don’t expect them to tell you. The choice is yours between an EBM party at the Stammhein prison and a 6 AM ecstasy overdose at the Lagerkommandantur! Deutsch-Italienische Freundschaft or hermetic Electro Bunker Musick at its best. mp3 mp3 9,- EUR |

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 15,- EUR |

The four long trance inducing Berlin-school influenced psychedelic pieces will take you on an 85 minutes long journey to the fountain of life. This new opus is without a doubt the band’s most traditionalist work to date, reflecting on the quintessence, the doctrine of the five elements, the cycles, the holy mountain, the world tree and what has been the bands most recurring symbolic interest: the heart of the world… Enter the realm of metaphysical Post-Kraut-Rock! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 23,- EUR |
