Marsheaux - Ath.Lon

2016-06-14 (News)

Marsheaux’s new album is called ‘Ath.Lon’; the title is derived from the first syllables of the two cities which served as the background for their new material: Athens and London. The title brings to mind the Greek word ‘athlos’ meaning the achievement. Considering the circumstances in which the ten songs on ‘Ath.Lon’ were created, observers will recognise it as an achievement, the crown of their twelve year career and a new chapter in their creativity.
‘Ath.Lon’ is crunchy, sexy and optimistic. And as every original electro pop artist should do, it looks into the horizons of the future.
From the lusty and sexy ‘Burning’, to the evocative sounds of the past on ‘Wild Heart’, with respectful bows to their influences from OMD to Saint Etienne, Marsheaux have a new found confidence. This is exemplified by the first single ‘Safe Tonight’ which features a spectacular video.

Axiome - L'avenir est un cerf teint

2016-06-13 (News)

Since it began in 1991, Axiome formed by C-drik Fermont and Olivier Moreau has passed through an unexpected evolution, journeying through most different electronic music genres. Over the years, complex industrial and breakcore elements turned into straightforward idm, electro and acid components bit by bit without losing this project's explorative trait.
'L'avenir est un cerf teint' introduces a broad range of tempers between the dark icy menace of classic Belgian EBM and the euphoria of a technoid rave. Besides the omnipresent sub-bass, saturated beats and subliminal dots of experimental electronics, the focus of these eleven compositions is also set on elaborate melodic themes which indelibly stick in the listener's mind.
An album which perfectly bridges the gap between ambitious and accessible - as coherent as an axiom, and as enigmatic as the album title.

Khost [Deconstructed And Reconstructed By] Godflesh - Needles Into The Ground

2016-06-11 (News)

"Needles Into the Ground" contains material by Khost which has been elementally transformed by Justin Broadrick of Godflesh. The original Khost material – taken from their second album "Corrosive Shroud" – is dense, multifaceted and purgatorial with no straightforward ‘stems’ based approach. Broadrick has extracted what he needed for his work whilst in pure Godflesh mode. As a result, the outcome is claustrophobic and frenetic, the experience akin to being in the proximity of a large, unstable machine on the verge of meltdown. In addition to these pieces, Khost has added a new track. Khost: "If it was a painting it would be about a kilometer wide held up by old, thick metal supports and wires that creak in wind, in parts abstract, in parts quite hard to decipher, and the materials would be oil like and seeping, never quite drying out".

Die Krupps - Stahlwerkrequiem

2016-06-10 (News)

In 1981 the Düsseldorf band Die Krupps (Jürgen Engler, Bernward Malaka, Ralf Dörper) released a seminal album which wrote its own chapter in the history of music: the "Stahlwerksinfonie" (Steelworks Symphony) was a near thirty-minute musical monolith of metal and guitar sounds with scattergun saxophone and shouts, held together by a monotonic bass line and stoic beat. The "Stahlwerksinfonie" proved a worldwide sensation, a nucleus of EBM and industrial rock.Die Krupps mastermind Jürgen Engler was as yet unfamiliar with the output of his purported antescedents. 35 years later, a new version is upon us: the "Stahlwerkrequiem", recorded with Engler's kindred spirits Mani Neumeier (Guru Guru), Jean-Hervé Peron and Zappi Diermaier (Faust), Pyrolator (Der Plan) and US postrock musician Scott Telles.
