FROZEN IN AMBER was AMBER ASYLUM's premiere full length CD and got first released on Elfenblut in 1996 gets reissued with 3 bonus tracks and remastered. A filmic fusion of modern classical and post-rock, wherearias and art songs meet in a pale field of electronic disturbance. Dark as it is beautiful, spare at is it complex, its supernaturally decadent powers will overtake you in the remote reaches of your imagination.

Vocalist Julie Christmas and guitarist/keyboardist Josh Graham met in Austin, Texas, when their respective bands Made Out Of Babies and Red Sparowes played the South By Southwest Music Festival in 2005. The pair hated each other immediately. When the two bands embarked on a West Coast tour together later that year, Julie and Josh's attitudes toward one another took on a decidedly different hue. A long-distance relationship (Graham in LA; Christmas in NYC) ensued, the furious and occasionally harrowing nature of which is reflected in the music of Battle of Mice. "The sonic

BEE AND FLOWER's saturine rock evolves in a spiral of contrasts: to the bones and resolutely austere, yet incredibly ravishing! NYC's BEE AND FLOWER dare the listener to abandon self-images and fall in love; the only proper reactions to them hover between a hushed silence and a flood of excited awe struck praise.

BLOOD & TIME sind ein Projekt der beiden NEUROSIS-Mitglieder SCOTT KELLY (Gitarre, Vox) und NOAH LANDIS (Keyboard) sowie ANTHONY NELSON (Bass) und STEPHEN GARRIT (Drums). "At the foot of the garden" ist ihr Debüt und folgt der Soundattitüde, die sie mit ihrer Hauptband NEUROSIS vor allem in letzter Zeit zur Perfektion getrieben haben: düstere Atmosphäre, die aus den Tiefen der menschlichen Seele kommt und Heavieness ohne Lautstärke. Zehn Songs, die langsam, aber verbindlich durch die langen dunklen Korridore schweben, bis sie tief in dein Herz vorgedrungen sind. Dabei

With gritty riffs, multicolored mohawks and a Pusmort-issued fulllength, Christ On Parade epitomized everything great about mid-'80s Bay Area hardcore, and it's all collected here on Neurot Recordings' reissue of Sounds of Nature. From 1985 to 1989 the quartet or quintet (depending on the year), would evangelize new fans with their incendiary live shows. This reissue of Sounds of Nature represents the band's first retrospective album. The record includes all the songs from their debut full-length as well as the Isn't Life a Dream 7 inch EP (heard here for the first time

CULPER RING ist ein Projekt von Kris Force (AMBER ASYLUM), Mason Jones (SUBARACHNOID SPACE) und Steve Von Till (NEUROSIS, TRIBES OF NEUROT). Alles begann 1997 mit der Aufnahme einer Jam-Session im Home-Studio von Kris. Diese ersten Schritte waren unmusikalisch und mißtönend, ähnlich den klassischen experimentellen Arbeiten von COIL oder NURSE WITH WOUND in den 80ern. Während die drei Musiker sich wieder auf ihre Bands konzentrierten, verstaubten die Session-Tapes irgendwo. Als sie wieder zum Vorschein kamen, wendete sich das Trio einer melodischeren und

Spoken Words unterstützt von einem der besten Power Trios der Welt, das ist der Sound der ENABLERS, nun liegt ihr Debüt ,End Note" vor. Alle 4 Mitglieder der ENABLERS aus San Francisco sind schon seit längerem in eigener Sache unterwegs. Gitarrist und Mixer Joe Goldring hat bereits mit den SWANS, den TOILING MIDGETS, OUT IN WORSHIP, MIXMASTER MIKE und STEVE VON TILL musiziert. Sein langjähriger Mitschreiber Kevin Thompson war bei TIMCO und NICE STRONG während sich Drummer Yuma Joe Burns sein Sporen bei TARNATION, BROKEN HORSE und anderen verdiente. Pete Simonelli hingegen

Enablers. Those cunning, compulsive and malevolent compatriots we eagerly allow to drag us along to our willful destruction. Those little demons that flutter in our ears encouraging us to do songs that are equally manipulative and encouraging to our darkest desires. The band made up of journeyman veterans of Swans, Tarnation, Nice Strong Arm and Toiling Midgets merges dramatic and flowing melodic soundscapes - of which SF Gate calls "possibly the world's best power trio" - with the visceral spoken narratives of underground literary veteran Pete Simonelli. It's almost as

FINAL serves as an undefinable and experimental interpretation of Justin Broadrick's more recognized music; encompassing the brutal and the dark, thebeautiful and the melodic. The term 'ambient' is often used to describe the sound of FINAL, but the music is not designed to function purely as background as the term 'ambient' generally implies. Before he was in Napalm Death and long before his Jesu, Godflesh and Techno Animal projects, Justin Broadrick had FINAL. It was the first music that he made and those were the first concerts he ever performed. Final3 is

Auf der Basis von Acoustic Folk Traditionen und der Dynamik des Postrock erschaffen GRAILS einen Sound, der einen mit seiner Spannung und zwingenden Schönheit sofort gefangen nimmt. Jeder Versuch einer Kategorisierung schlägt fehl, wenn das in Portland beheimatete Quartett instrumentale Epen von ungeheurer Wucht vor einem ausbreitet, ohne dabei laut, übertrieben instrumentiert oder lärmig zu sein. Nein, auf "Red light" zählt allein die Atmosphäre und der unbedingte Wille, Töne ganze Geschichten erzählen zu lassen. Melodien treffen auf Improvisationsstrukturen, wie man sie

Awesomely communicative but entirely instrumental, this dynamic band's violin, guitars, piano and drums collide with somber melodies and massive emotion. This is the debut full-length by GRAIL from Portland, formerly known as LAUREL CANYON.

Long known for blazing scorching psychedelic guitar trails in the heavy music realm with Neurosis, Steve Von Till now turns his attention to the world of more straightforward psychedelic rock guitar. Lashing The Rye is the first record from Steve under his new pseudonym Harvestman, and an impressive debut it is! Hung upon the framework of traditional music and mixed with a liberal dose of the subtle sounds and textures that we've come to recognize as distinctly eurot' in tenor, this is a new window on the inner workings of Von Till's psyche...or at least some of what goes

HOUSE OF LOW CULTURE explores slumbering corners of the aural experience, revealing the full capabilities of the stereo field. "Edward's Lament", like its predecessors in HOLC's modest but essential back-catalogue, is a thematically cohesive suite of instrumental excursion for barren landscapes and sunken shantytowns (think Bombay Beach, Quabbin Reservoir, Salton Sea). It is the swansong for all which was once thriving and is now desolate.

The debut solo release from NEUROSIS singer/ guitarist Scott Kelly. Driven from the soul, these are songs of faith tested, and truth realized. Honest, sparse, dark, deeply personal.

The latest offering from the legendary and prolific KK NULL, renowned for his solo works and his "progressive hardcore trio", ZENI GEVA (which has produced more than 10 albums, recorded two Peel Sessions for the BBC). Over the course of his 20 year career, KK NULL has produced collaborative works with musical innovators like STEVE ALBINI, MERZBOW, JOHN ZORN, FRED FRITH, JAMES PLOTKIN and many others. 5:20 2:40 3:48 2:51 5:09 4:42 5:39 4:00 3:46 4:40

From the minds that brought you KHANATE, ISIS, OLD, OLD MAN GLOOM and ATOMSMASHER comes LOTUS EATERS and the debut album "Mind Control For Infants". LOTUS EATERS beckons to wander your conscious/unconscious/subconscious states while they do the same. "Mind Control For Infants" is as much of a mind-trip as you make it.

As it's playfully gruesome name might imply, MADE OUT OF BABIES is not a demure or delicate band - it's an aberration of innocence. In the tradition of artists as evocative as Jesus Lizard; as imaginative and impassioned as Bjork; as discomfortingly frank as Big Black and as unnerving as filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, the New York City quartet summons a wholly unique claustrophobic fury. It's an eye-opening revision of everything that had once seemed acceptable and rational. Made Out of Babies have garnered much attention for a sound that's as imaginative and impassioned

As it's playfully gruesome name might imply, Made Out Of Babies is not a demure or delicate band - it's an aberration of innocence. Neurot Recordings continues to confound expectations with Made Out Of Babies' debut album, Trophy - perhaps the label's most outright "rock" based release to date. But make no mistake, there's nothing conventional about MOOB. Just like Neurot - whose sole imperative it is to release music of exceptional quality that challenges the mind while also expressing true passion and soul - this urgent and contorted New York City quartet turns rock

the stirring, vaguely sinister murmurs of a half-remembered occurrence. Punctuatedby the pedal steel of Greg Burns (Red Sparowes/Halifax Pier) on track one and the expert beat manipulation of Oktopus (Dalek) on track four, Nova Lox conjures up a nebulous psychic landscape in which the indefinable never takes shape, where the horizon slips in and out of focus and existential trepidation levitates just above the hearing threshold. Gallagher's guitar-based compositions are the proverbial ghosts in the machine, revealing an expert convergence of human expression and electronic
