Marek Marchoff - Funeral Musik for You and Me

2015-11-28 (News)

'Funeral Musik for You and Me' is the follow-up of the ideas that guided the creation of the previous Marchoff album entitled 'Funeral Musik für Jenny Marchoff'. However, in this case, it is devoid of a personal element, which was the laudation or registration of tormenting feelings after the loss of a loved one, and is more of a reflection on the meaning of life and death. The common denominator for both discs is certainly the nature of work and the type of measures, which helped Marek X. Marchoff during the recording sessions. While recording he also used analogue audio sources, including synthesizers of this type. This time he also invited his friend Tom Kalinovsky to collaborate on this album. Music, though far from the stem of Different State and 23 Threads styles, is equally interesting, intriguing and even inspiring. As in the case of 'Funeral Musik für Jenny Marchoff', the material has not been mastered in order to preserve the original shape and character of the 'Funeral Musik for You and Me' album as it was at the time of recordings.

This a concept album where Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots) pays homage to long pieces and experimental ambient songs. The sound of Edward takes us out of time in the long trip taking us with her ​​warm voice.
"Don’t gaze into Outer Space in search of a new mystery to solve. (...)
You are already there in the centre of the mystery. 
You are the anomaly, the thing that can’t be explained and you inhabit a space that is teeming with life. 
The microscopic, the herculean, solid,transparent, heaving, dissolving…
The door is always open, but it helps if you can see it." - Edward Ka-Spel.

The Mexican pioneers of Hard Electro are back for a full-frontal attack. In its relentless sonic prowess, the new album "Ofensor" once again proves the exceptional status of this seminal band.
"Ofensor" is an inferno caputred on disc. Even after more than two decades, the aggressive sound that Erk Aicrag and Racso Agroyam a.k.a.

Crippled Black Phoenix - New Dark Age Tour EP 2015 A.D.

2015-11-25 (News)

"Our 'New Dark Age' tour EP represents a new chapter in the Crippled Black Phoenix history", says Greaves. "I feel like it is time to be truly free of industry and personal bullshit. It also connects what we have gone through as a band with what is going on in the big wide world. It really feels as if we are living in a new 'dark age'. Religious and political oppression, the population being fed constant untruths - all of this reminds me of the priests in the middle ages telling folk about dog-headed monsters living in the woods, but if you repent and join the church, they will protect you. The song 'Spider Island' is more personal. There I mentally put all the bad people... recently there have been a few people who need to go to Spider Island and live a life of torture along with all the other scumbags, who cling to power in the world."
