Thomas Ragsdale - Bait

2015-09-20 (News)

"The album started life purely as a film score to Dominic Brunt's gripping UK thriller 'Bait', but rather than just release the various background drones and atmospheres, I re-opened the pieces I gave Dominic and started to re-imagine the whole thing as one complete album.
After carefully editing the original soundtrack by expanding on some parts, and cutting back on others, 'Bait' was sequenced to take you down a similar path to the movie: at once beautiful as it is beguiling, intense as it is disturbing - shimmering drones give way to gnarled bass, refracting synth lines clatter over arctic atmospheres." - Thomas Ragsdale.

Lloyd Cole - 1D

2015-09-19 (News)

In preparation for his collaboration with Hans-Joachim Roedelius two years ago ("Selected Studies Vol. 1") British singer-songwriter Lloyd Cole recorded plenty of electronic music that hasn't been released yet. "1D" is a collection of the best pieces of this "unused" music. None of the pieces involves the use of a piano keyboard or a computer, except to record it. Some modulations were executed by hand. Most were generated by programmed sequencers and logic. Each piece is a self contained electronic circuit. 

Control - In Harm's Way

2015-09-18 (News)

After a successful European tour in 2013 which was played in connection with the 'Transgression' album and which was documented on a cassette release, Thomas Garrison a.k.a. Control continued working on new sound material which is now available and which will be also introduced live in several appearances all over Europe. With 'In Harm's Way', Control presents a set of consistently forceful tracks by one of the most recognized representatives of the death industrial / power electronics genre. This album represents a perfect equilibration of organic heat and machined iciness, executed with skin deep emotion and surgical precision. Well-structured profound pulsation take turns with menacing dark ambient parts and severe noisescapes strengthened by frenzied vocal interactions. 'In Harm's Way' is a strong, demanding release.

Frank Riggio - Psychexcess II - Futurism

2015-09-17 (News)

With 'Futurism' Frank Riggio presents the second part of the ‘Psychexcess’ trilogy which is designed to be similar to a three movie series in an aural format. This long-term project is about birth, life & death, related to space & films, and also inspired by the concepts of the time & the psyche. All of these influences are connected to each other and driven by sound
experimentations. As the artwork suggest, 'Futurism' represents a lifetime of a human being, a cycle from start to end, from childhood (‘echap’) to old age (‘deathobsess’), and includes plenty of personal and imaginative moments in between - an interpretation of the dynamics of life, possibly an aural adventure similar to life experience. To emulate this, using top-notch technology & methodology, Frank Riggio's main focus was to create as many dynamic ranges as possible within every aspect of this album, from its general structure to the moods, style and length of the tracks to the mixing and mastering. What you are about to hear is a gracefully built retrofuturistic, naturally sophisticated and also agreeable texture of entangled styles ranging from melodic ambient and pulsating dub to experimental soundscapes and beat driven idm patterns. Sonically rich, vivid and also conclusive, this particular release introduces a wide selection of exciting, demanding and also pleasant music.
