Lance is better known as RED MATH and has recently released a really great modular space record on Further. This is far out space music for the deepest moments or just everyday listening. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

The new record on Eins.Zwei:Acht is a split LP between Silent Signals and the American one-man project L'Avenir, whose wonderful melancholic wave offers the perfect counterbalance to D. T. Klein's driving minimal electronic anthems. Available either on black or silver clear vinyl. Comes with two stickers, one of which hand-numbered. 200 copies only, act fast!

Mannequin Records is honored to present a 2xLP retrospective compilation of the french electro/wave pioneer Le Syndicat Électronique, the historical electro/wave project by Alaxis Andreas G., founder of the seminal Invasion Planète Recordings – the first French minimal electro/wave/experimental label founded in late 1998 by the insurance proceeds of a car crash. Heavily influenced by the work of masters like Kraftwerk/John Carpenter/Front 242, Alaxis Andreas G. is responsible for many others dark electronic / industrial / neofolk projects – to name a few: A//, Bruta Non Calculant, La Séduction Des Innocents, It & My Computer, Eva VIII. This killer 2xLP compilation includes 5 historic tracks never pressed on vinyl, 3 of which are released for the first time ever. Tracks selected, re-mastered and arranged by Alaxis Andreas G. Vinyl pressed on black 160 gram housed in a full color printed sleeve limited to 500 copies with insert.

Out of the alchemical furnace of the Coeur du Monde studios comes the latest musical and hermetic endeavour of WERMUT’s Laszlo PS and Sofia ER : LO†PH. “Aurora” is the project’s first release, both laying down its landmarks and heralding the upcoming first album. Presented here are two long tracks combining witch house gloom and techno wave coldness, somewhere between MATER SUSPIRIA VISION and CLOCK DVA, distilled with delay-drowned incantations and pitched cut-up rhymes. Two vessels loaded with Christian Esotericism and Jewish Tradition, two steps on a spiritual journey towards the reintegration of being. File under: Hermetic Wave. mp3 mp3

Imagine the music-toys, animated chirping puppets, drummer bunnies and Fisher-Price synths of your childhood coming together and wanting to sound like Autechre, and you’ve got it! Delicious, candy-sweet pop anthems, unlike anything else. mp3 mp3 mp3

An Audiophonic Psychedelic Witch House Mass from and inspired by the Cosmotropia de Xam movie Phantasmagoria. This is not a traditional Soundtrack, but more a hallucinating occult mass experience mixing the elements from the movie Phantasmagoria to a studio album.

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

Spanning the course of two years to create, legendary Italian noise composer Maurizio Bianchi and artist Ryan Martin (York Factory Complaint / Copley Medal / Dais Records) took on the pilgrimage of scoring the abstract concept of marriage based on the biblical Song of Solomon. Employing prepared electronics with accompanying strings and tape, this ambient religious collaboration seeks to flesh out the union, to understand the universal desire to be one. Constricted lullabies walk down the aisle to create a consortium of moving, ghost-like consolidation. Mixed ad edited by Anthony Mangicapra (Hoor-paar-Kraat) and mastered by Kris Lapke (Alberich / Hospital Productions). Recorded in both New York City and Opera, Italy between 2010 and 2012, this release was originally released in 2013 as a limited double cassette on Martin's own Robert & Leopold imprint in a edition of 100 copies, which quickly went out of print.

“Babylon” is the twin-LP to last year’s “Hollywood”, the second and last part of the MODERN WITCH retrospective on TuT/RuR.
The story of MODERN WITCH began 7 years ago in Denver, Colorado, when graphic artist Mario Zoots, singer Kristy Fenton and house veteran Kamran Khan started recording experimental music together on an old VHS camera. In the space of a few years, a couple of very limited tape and CD/R releases on labels such as Disaro and Clan Destine Records, and a series of spooky performances both in Europe and on the American continent, the trio has become a true underground reference for creepy, ritualistic dance music, in the muddy but oh so fascinating waters between Witchhouse and Minimal Synth. Drunk on 80s cold wave, bathed in suburbian occult decadence and haunted by dead celebrities, “Hollywood” and “Babylon” are a feast of thaumaturgic synth lines, nonchalant but captivating mpc 1000 – sequences, drugged-out spoken words and ghostly voices. American Angst or Minimal Doom electronics at their best! mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

Two new pieces by field recording specialist Patrick McGinley aka MURMER. Multi-layered recordings of a garden in London, the ventilation of an old computer and a necklace, all left unprocessed, creating a highly tense micrososm of low drones and high pitched noises. Simple and beautiful... mp3 mp3

We got our hands on some copies of the cult Roman band's fabulous album from 2005. A meeting of giants, "Water" was written by Raffaelle Cerroni and J.Weber, featuring Frl. Tost, Clau D.E.D.I. and DBPIT. It is at the same time a deeply emotional, highly hypnotic and indeniably poetic journey, incorporating in its complex and sometimes disorientating textures acoustic and electronic instrumentation, field-recordings and vocals, rhythms and introspective soundscapes, to create a world of its own, more Atlantean than Mediterranean, and a true masterpiece of sonic surrealism... A classic, absolutely recommended.

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

(cendres) is the first proper long player in seven years from the Breton drone lord and finds NATURE MORTE attempting an even bleaker and more eschatological sound. The shadowy and ominous music unwinds languorously, leading the way through some deep dark and fearful passage. Here and then in the midst of all that crepuscular fogginess some sweetly mournful and hypnotic melodies shed a dim light on what once was. Everything beloved and familiar has been reduced to ashes and the sinister cinematic drones act like a psychopomp guiding the listener through the desolate wasteland. Until accomplishment is reached and the journey begins anew. Featuring Thierry Jolif of LONSAI MAÏKOV on one track. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

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

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

More than just a record, “Restes d’une chose brisée” is the outcome of an intimate collaboration between music and writing. Based on a series of thirteen short texts by young French writer JEANNE MONTSÉGUR, this symbiotic work unfolds like a Dantesque journey. On each step of the way NATURE MORTE’s abyssal drones echo the desperate intensity and ruthless honesty of Jeanne’s words, opening her wounds to chasms, sustaining the inner conflict and the baring of feelings by an almost unbearable tension which, when it finally breaks, strikes the listener as surely as the incisiveness of her words. At the end of the voyage there is hope, seeping between the lines and through the grooves as the drones recede and give way to luminous reeds, leaving the reader-listener shaken, colder and gloomier than before, but maybe a little wiser too. mp3s + artwork

Berlin based, but from Dutch origin, Neugeborene Nachtmusik has come up with two rather weird pieces, dancefloor friendly, playful and bold... call it Dada pop or anti-pop music. A different side of Neugeborene Nachtmusik from what you might know from last year's LP but a seriously fun side. Minimal synth sounds with a twist. mp3 mp3

Some years ago an album by Dutch band Milligram Retreat (Enfant19, 2011) was released on Enfant Terrible. Sadly the project was short lived, but straight after the project came to an end Maurice Hermes, the mastermind behind it, started his solo project called Neugeborene Nachtmusik. Now is the time to pour his debut album out over you… an album simple entitled “Neugeborene Nachtmusik” and highly awaited… Residing in Berlin Neugeborene Nachtmusik has shaped his music more and more these past few years into an unique style of this own… some results of this were displayed already on the various artists releases “Exploitation” (ET017, 2012), “I Am Enfant Terrible” (ETX, 2014) and “Post-everything” (ET034, 2014)… This album is a pitch black experience… a shamanistic ritual and a dark trip which takes you by the hand and leads you beyond and back… you get served six long tracks with effective minimalism and trance indulging sounds… influences from elektro, techno, industrial, noise and (black) metal can be traced… the album is diverse but coherent in displaying the specific personal style of Neugeborene Nachtmusik.

Some years ago Neurobit released a 7" on Enfant Terrible with minimal music very much in the style of Terry Riley. Now Neurobit return with a very different sound, much less electronic in orientation. This mini LP "Moira" sounds like some obscure Asian ensemble playing contemporary ambient and drone music... music also somewhat reminiscent of some of the stuff Philip Glass did and in the distant you hear sounds and moods related to the music of Sarah Davachi and Antti Tolvi. But in the end it is just the perfect music to have a mellow and relaxed trip on. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

After the excellent "Paradies" CD out last year on Zoharum, our favorite lamenting troubadour is back on reel with the grooviest and also saddest NIEDOWIERZANIE album to date. On "Je ne suis pas là, je ne suis pas mort" ( "I'm not here, I'm not dead") the sun drenched mal de vivre, the mediterranean despair and bohemian misery reaches unchartered heights, inviting the listener to joyfully swing along over the debris of a mislead existence. Punchy rhythm machines and swag synth basslines collide with washed out mandoline chords and swirling accordion, urban modernity encounters folklore, east meets west & This is where all antagonisms join in the cheery carousel of exasperation. mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3 mp3

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

Niedowierzanie is the long running solo project of French experimental musician Léo Maury, active since 2008 with a back catalog of excellent releases on labels such as Reue Um Reue, Obscène Et Anémique, Vrystaete, and Zoharum. This newest work “Lumière” congeals into a truly remarkable lump, combining radiant new age bliss with lurching Giallo swagger, mutant alien groove, and ambient trance electronics. A careful recipe of both organic and synthetic elements to form a profoundly luminous stew. Six tracks of evolutionary voltage, bringing 1000 lumens of light to the dimmest corners of the contemporary stratosphere.

Niedowierzanie started around 2007 in Marseille, south of France, released two vinyl albums ("S/t", 2008 and "Attendre" 2011) on the german label Reue Um Reue, another LP on Vrystaete (sub-label of Enfant Terrible, Netherlands), and more recently the CD "Paradies" on Polish label Zoharum Records, as well as a bunch of tapes (the last one being "Je ne suis pas là, je ne suis pas mort" on Reue Um Reue). The sound evolves between nonchalant mediterranean muzak, paranoïd soundscapes and bohemian folk misery. Niedowierzanie has been performing live concerts since 2009 around Europe (Poznan, Berlin, Dresden, Barcelona, Paris, Antwerpen, Hamburg...) using acoustic instruments such as cello, mandolines, trumpet and accordion, along with loop station and digital computer treatments to create nerve-racking spectral ambient, dramatic soundscapes or hypnotic tragic folklore.

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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith... mp3 mp3 mp3

Second album by Oscillotron.

Oscillotron is the Solo Project of David Johannson hailing from Sweden. Oscillotron´s Debut Album „Eclipse“ is a Soundtrack reminiscent of old Horror Prog Rock fleshed out into ambient dreamstate! 6 Tracks made essentially with analog equipment for fans of Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Jean-Michel Jarre, Zombi, Fabio Frizzi or Wendy Carlos.

New analog offering from the electronics project of solo artist Marcus Miller, hailing from Australia but currently based in Osaka, Japan. Resonant tones form to weave soft silken gauze, a warm affirmation bringing clarity and light to the bleariest of eyes. Calling forth the forebears of Kosmische tradition yet rooted contemporaneously in this ever more modern world, OVERSCAN offers a distilled and refined technique of air-filled synthesis ascension to carve his own distinct form of ultimate blur and smother. Flotation device / sonic neuralyzer, an adroit aural salve aiding true cerebral erasure.
