GENERIC: TORTURE, CD
(Fractured Spaces)
Generic's "Torture", a long and deeply unsettling journey into the
beating black heart, and Antarctic iciness of the collective shattered
psyche, of a shattered mankind. Created using "foley tracks" and sound
effects (used for both film and television), as well as the occasional
guitars, bass, and found sounds, it all combines to produce a haunting,
nerve-shredding, ghostly and schizophrenic soundtrack, guaranteed to
simultaneously freeze the heart and mind, and induce cold sweat to bead
the forehead and shivers to wrack the body. Six mid to long tracks of
bleak mindscapes totalling just over 50 minutes and wrapped in beautiful
full colour digipak with artwork by new German digital artist THAMUS.

PRICE: 12 €

KEPLERS ODD: STRENA NEU DE NIVE SAXANGULA, CD
(Fractured Spaces)
From the darkest and coldest heart of Sweden comes the trio known as
Keplers Odd, and FracturedSpacesRecords is pleased to announce that
"Strena Seu de Nive Sexangula", their third CD album, is the first
official release on the UK's newest quality underground music label.
Featuring seven tracks of noisy yet subtly ambient guitar-driven sonic
attacks, eerily redolent of the icy cold mysterious aurora-wrapped
landscapes prevalent throughout Northern Europe, inhabited by creatures
and monsters spawned from the myths & legends told around campfires over
countless generations. Indeed, Keplers Odd have themselves spawned a
monster of an album, creating textures and ambiences far beyond the
normal run of over-driven guitar noisefests – yes, there is unalloyed
power here, but there is also quiet subtlety, sinister atmospherics, and
deeply dark occult moods. Ancient abandoned buildings, dark musty
corridors, sinister forces at play – it's all here in stonking quantities!!

PRICE: 12 €


V/A: ARYAN MEMORY: MUSICAL TRADITIONS IN PAMIR, 2CD + DVD + BOOK
(Kailas)
A unique deluxe collector's editon of traditional Pamir music "Aryan
Memory". The set comprises a 6-page double DVD digipack holding two
audio-CDs, a DVD and a 20-page full-colored booklet with information on
musicians and conventional musical instruments of the Pamirs as well as
a 100-page full-colored book in 14x25 cm format which describes the
history of the Pamirs, beliefs and traditional ways of life of local
residents (about 200 illustrations, texts are in both Russian and
English). All components are packed in a bright-colored cardboard box.
The Pamirs territory, being an almost inaccessible region, has preserved
to this day tokens of the most ancient human culture, symbols, music,
worldview, which are at least several millennia old - the spiritual
foundation that gave birth to the greatest European and Asian cultures.
But it should be mentioned that Pamir music is relatively unresearched,
there have been issued only about five CD recordings, of which only one
or two were favored with positive responses from the indigenous
population of the Pamirs, because the spirit of this ancient
civilization completely dissolves in recording studios and stays alive
only when the music is performed in traditional environment. This
recording of traditional Pamir music, presented in the "Aryan Memory"
edition, is one of a few in this list, that had captured musicians in a
fully unconstrained state and where the impact of sound-recording
equipment was kept to a minimum. Particular attention should be given to
the DVD, which is an integral part of the set. The film was shot both in
the Pamirs in the River Bartang's Valley and at the Museum of musical
instruments in Gurmindzh. It is an hour and a half long and it
demonstrates the Pamir nature, it's ancient culture, dances and music
and also exposes the psychology of the natives. There is no voice over
or subtitles, the film relies mostly on meditative and trance-like
perception. The book contains a lot of photos of forbidden regions of
the Pamirs which in the recent times have been absolutely inaccessible
to foreigners and are hardly accessible even now...

Limited edition 1000 hand-numbered copies. One copy weights 750 gramms.

PRICE: 50 €
