AIDAN BAKER: SAME RIVER TWICE, 7"
(Drone Records)
We never find enough artist where the phenomena of being writers
as well musicians intersect but the Canadian AIDAN BAKER is one
of them. Since he began to release music (solo or with his band-
project ARC) he has shown poetic sensibility and many emotional
levels while creating this elegant & beautiful guitarish-drone-
harmonics. The two pieces here on his very first vinyl-release
are thus inspired by literature titles plunged us into the sound-
waves of some of the most mysterious shimmering daydreaming episodes.
Dare diving in these warm-colourful travelling fluids... Each cover
comes with an handwritten piece of poetry by the artist. [Drone Records]
CLEAR WATER-COLOURED VINYL WITH YELLOW SPOTS BLUE &
GREEN HANDPAINTED COVERS. EACH COPY HAS A UNIQUE
HANDWRITTEN POETRY BY THE ARTIST.

CISFINITUM: VS (CURVE/CURSE), 7"
(Drone Records)
From the strong post-industrial scene of Moscow, the duo CISFINITUM
is a well known name since many years but unfortunately had very
few releases so far... We are proud to offer 'VS' which presents
them at their most refined & intense point of their career. Two
thunderous & emotionally stirring tracks; post-apocalyptic landscapes
of sounds like watching an eerie painting consisting of earthquakes
cracking out fierce drones. Disoriented even more with background
voices, metal-banging and more concrete mechanical sounds of unknown
origin. Absolutely intense and mind-blowing! This EP is one of the
most impressive handmade cover-artwork ever seen in the Drone-series:
a nearly 2 inch thick hand-sewed black & grey stripped wool-cover;
each one is numbered and comes with a CISFINITUM cardboard-sign
on it. [Drone Records]
BLACK VINYL WITH WHITE & GREY STRIPES. ULTRA-HANDMADE
WOOL-COVERS, NUMBERED.
PRICE: 6 €
HEATH YONAITES: RIM OF THE SUN, CD
(Triumvirate)
An immensely skilled, deep, and varied sonic journey through exceptional
experimental electronics and richly detailed field and environmental
recordings manipulated and reconfigured beyond the point of easy
recognition. Influenced by a wide range of inspirations, from the
immediacy of vaguely familiar yet unsettling terrestrial audio environs,
outwards towards the vast expanses of cosmology. [Triumvirate]
PRICE: 12 €
HERBST9: ENENYLYN, 7"
(Drone Records)
Probably the most well-known band of the new Drone Records 7"EPs. This
is the first non-LOKI release by the German dark/transcendental ambient-
duo from Leipzig, who already gained cult-status. The two pieces on this
EP are filled with roaring feedbacks & amorphic sounds. Deep reverberations
evoke impressions of endless vaults, halls & tunnels way down deep below
this Earth. In addition to this music whereabouts, there's an intense
emotional imprinting, like being in the middle of a sacrificial or shamanic
ritual. This music has the psychedelic drug power to evoke ancient gods.
[Drone Records]
WHITE VINYL. BLACK COVERS WITH HAND-PRINTED BANDEROLE.
PRICE: 6 €
INSTINCTS / BUSTUM: THE MYSTERY VISIONS, CD
(Cyclic Law)
Entitled "The Mystery Visions", it is a joint release of both musical

transporting
thee on a full hour of somber, doom ridden soundscapes. The package also

Arseneault
aka BUSTUM and 3 cards of photographs by Instincts for a total of 15
duotone

KARJALAN SISSIT: KARJALASTA KAJAHTAA, CD
(Cyclic Law)
The Finnish pioneer is back from the degenerated and alcoholized Swedish
ghetto
of Eskilstuna. 3rd full lenght from Markus Pesonen who now dove deeper into
total Melancholy, Anti socialism, Bitterness, Disintegration and
Alcoholism.
Filled with what has defined KARJALAN SISSIT's sound thus far; Bombastic
outbursts of Neo classical arrangements entwined in traditional Finnish
Humppa and deep industrial sonorities. songs were this time fiercly
enhanced
with some added vocals giving the whole album a much more agressive touch.
Again produced by Peter Bjärgö at Erebus Odora, this new album definitely
stands above it's predecessors. [Cyclic Law]
Edition of 1000 copies in A5 textured book. 12 Tracks. Running time; 45:44

LAW: OUR LIFE THROUGH YOUR DEATH, CD
(Triumvirate)

acoustic meditations, and driving percussion. [Triumvirate]
Limited edition 500.
PRICE: 12 €
RADIAL: NEXUS, CD
(Triumvirate)
The first full length release for this rising American artist. Let your
rational mind temporarily recede as the throbbing, irresistible rhythmic
pulse acts directly on your nervous system, compelling motion and emotion.
"Nexus" displays Radial's authority at constructing unique works of
insistent,
complex rhythms interlaced with cold, tense atmospheres. [Triumvirate]
PRICE: 12 €
SOLEILKRAAST: CHORESONIC PRELUDES TO A DARK CYCLE, 7"
(Drone Records)
This is the very first release of this new exciting French one-man-project
from Nantes who is dealing his music with an existentialist and
metaphysical
approach. The first piece 'Zoyd Kraast' is felt like this dark overwhelming
dense ocean of monumentalised drones; a real droning explosive storm in
which 'something alien' must be existing; whereas the second piece is based
on the works of flickering piano-dots, drowning into this surrealistic
atmosphere. [Drone Records]
BLACK VINYL WITH ORANGE & YELLOW SPECKLES. PLAIN BLACK
COVERS WITH HANDMADE INLAY BY THE ARTIST.
PRICE: 6 €
TBC: GUTE LUFT/MUSKEL, 7"
(Drone Records)
TBC is the short form for THOMAS BECK, a sound-activist from Hamburg,
Germany,
who has been involved in the experimental sound-explorer scene since many
years there (also active with a Radio-programme and a magazine for
experimental
music). Among his releases we find some cassettes and two split LPs (with
REZNICEK and recently with BRUME). On the three tracks on this EP he uses
human voice and environmental recordings to create droning sound-patterns
of a higher beauty, structures appear and dissolve again, tension is build
and re-build (similar to TOY BIZARRE or ERIC LA CASA).... without knowing
where exactly the sounds are derived from, everything stays mysterious and
alien, a very own soundworld to experience. [Drone Records]
PINK VINYL WITH 'OLD STYLED' PHOTOCOPIED B/W COVER
PRICE: 6 €
