BLUTENGEL "LABYRINTH LIMITED BOXSET"
Blutengel have set out to lure us into their labyrinth … and, like in the ancient lore, it is inhabited by fabled creatures, dark angels and vampires, with a myriad of gloomy, romantic tales woven around its very existence. The path inside is not burdensome, as the masters of Dark Pop are tempting us with enticing vocal arrangements, catchy tunes and dance floor compatible beats. In Blutengel's "Labyrinth", one is in no need for a guiding thread ensuring a safe path outside … the magnetic pull of these dark anthems is too great as that one would ever long to escape them again. The album includes the charts-approved single "Lucifer" as well as 14 other sonic gems, all sporting the trademark Blutengel-sound that always finds the right balance between dark romantic elegies and club-oriented tracks. Music, lyrics and artwork have been masterfully intertwined to bring to life the underlying concept of the labyrinth… and there will be a special treat for die hard fans and collectors in form of a special limited edition in a luxurious metal box, containing a bonus CD with seven tracks, a sticker and (in addition to the regular CD booklet) a deluxe, large format design picture booklet with beautifully designed artwork. With "Labyrinth", Blutengel have matured … without losing any of the appeal of their earlier releases. Quite to the contrary: it is highly doubtful that Chris Pohl, Ulrike Goldmann and Constance Rudert have ever delivered an album of this high intensity. Released on Out Of Line and available September 14th, 2007!

VOLTAIRE "OOKY SPOOKY"
NOW SHIPPING!!
"It's a Halloween party in a jewel-box," Voltaire comments about Ooky Spooky, his most hilariously irreverent CD to date. Years in the making, Voltaire's 5th album contains a duet with The Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer, a track from a Cartoon Network movie plus his crowd-pleasing songs about zombies, devils and dancing skeletons. In fact necrophilia, cannibalism, prostitution, buggery, blasphemy, sacrilege, going to hell, bombing New Jersey and anal rape with a lightsaber are just a few of the charming topics covered on Ooky Spooky.

Back are the violins and cellos but new to the Voltaire sound is a horn section that brings to mind images of a mariachi skeleton band. But there is no doom and gloom here, mind you. The album bounces along with a mixture of klezmer, swing and ska that brings to mind such spooky-fun classics as Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" or "Hell" by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Voltaire's love for Cab Calloway is evident in the song "Cannibal Buffet" (which seems straight from a Betty Boop cartoon) and more so in "Land of the Dead" which Voltaire wrote for the opening credit sequence of the Cartoon Network movie "Billy and Mandy's Big Boogie Adventure."

As serious as it gets on Ooky Spooky is "Stuck With You," a duet with The Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer. It's about a bickering married couple, but even on this one kittens are drowned, Korean bayonets are employed and skeletons sing to each other from side-by-side coffins. "I got all of the serious songs out of the way on Then And Again," comments Voltaire, "specifically so that Ooky Spooky could be a non-stop party of fun songs about the undead and hell and devils and skeletons and all of the other fun stuff that's so close to my heart." Released on Projekt.

3. Cannibal Buffet
4. Day of the Dead
5. Blue-eyed Matador

COIL / THE THRESHOLD HOUSEBOYS CHOIR "FORM GROWS RAMPANT"
NOW SHIPPING!!
A two disc DVD/CD set. "Threshold House is very excited to confirm the release of a combined CD/DVD package from The Threshold HouseBoys Choir, 'under the direction of Peter Christopherson.' The work in five parts is called Form Goes Rampant. This two disc set features documentary footage from Thailand's Gin Che (Vegetarian) Festival, as well as original music written and conducted by Peter Christopherson. This material, which is both viscerally intense, and at the same time, strangely gentle and moving - due to the great interest and demand, Christopherson has now polished the work for a wider, authorized release. Is is being releasing the work in combined DVD and CD form, as it is NOT every occasion that the DVD is suited to (viewer discretion IS advised!) but the CD can be played anywhere (except possibly while operating heavy machinery... or driving a motor vehicle). The DVD will be NTSC multi-region, so should play anywhere. The format is a four panel fold out digipack with the discs carried in two clear trays (similar to the earlier Moon's Milk title from a few years back)." DESCRIPTION FROM WIKIPEDIA: The Threshold HouseBoy's Choir is a musical guise for Peter Christopherson, announced in 2005 as a follow up endeavor to his former group Coil. Despite the misleading name, it is a solo project which relies heavily on computer generated vocals, of which he is formally credited as the 'director'. The name was derived from a play on words, combining the phrases 'house of boys', 'boy's choir', and 'Threshold House', the latter being the name of Coil's former headquarters, and official website. THBC is stationed in Krung Thep, Thailand.

PEOPLE LIKE US & ERGO PHIZMIZ "PERPETUUM MOBILE"
FINALLY SHIPPING!!
Handmade silkscreened 6-panel folderpack.

“Perpetuum Mobile” is the result of a uniquely schizophrenic “open source” compositional process: the UK's finest collage composers (collage-posers?) Ergo Phizmiz and People Like Us (aka Vicki Bennett) uploaded files to a shared server, downloaded and processed each other's work, and flung the resulting fragments back at each other. The result is an interpenetrating audio-collage so intricate that neither party can recall who did what to whom. So far, so avant-garde; but what makes this record different is that Ergo and Vicki then wrote and sang their own vocals on top of their Frankenstein creation. Here you will find slyly absurdist lyrics replete with monkeys, carousels, trousers, apple trees, tinkling bells, dogs, sausages, whiskey, and cannibalism. No matter how fraught with trauma, these ballads and ditties are sung with a straight face and mixed front and center, and the results feel like 1930s British music hall standards from an alternate universe: half Ivor Cutler, half George Formby. The astonishing thing is that for all this jiggery-pokery, “Perpetuum Mobile” makes for an exhilarating, remarkably fresh pop album. It works.

On “Ghosts Before Breakfast” Ergo and Vicki proudly declare that they've got “quite a selection of pastry”, and if the profusion of cuckoo clocks, gunshots, horn farts, string vamps, and digital malfeasance which go hurtling through this opening track is any indication, that's no idle boast. For sheer cornucopia of sonic raw materials, this track's avalanche of information sets the tone for the overflowing, manic record that follows. There's far too much to fully parse, but among the highlights: “Beyond Perpetuum” pushes off from the Comedian Harmonists' take on the 19th century compositional craze for “moto perpetuo” runs of continuous notes at a rapid tempo, and folds found piano, voice and strings into an interlocking array of M.C. Escher harmonic stairways. “Air Hostess” is detourned lounge pop that stitches together Nelson Riddle's “Ya Ya” theme to “Lolita”, “Walk Right In”, light operettas, organ, bachelor pad cha cha and mambo, and nervously twitching shards of Louis Armstrong. “Pierrot's Persecution Mania” bravely explores the possibilities of a Montparnasse-via-Dixieland hybrid of can-can and bluegrass, with ridiculous canned strings colliding with jew's harp boings, while “Soggy Style” rides banjo twangs, a digital bossa nova breakdown, and the “whooo-ooes” nicked from Terry Stafford's “Suspicion”. Living up to the perpetual motion of its title and cock-a-hoop cover art, this is a frantically energetic music whose layered repetitions become cumulatively more disorienting and preposterous as they loop back.

“Perpetuum Mobile” goes beyond the stealth-oldies nostalgia of the mashup scene and the “culture-jamming” rhetoric of plunderphonics, and shows Mr. Ergo and Ms. Vicki to be a potent, if Surrealist, songwriting team, and together they braid oddly affecting vocals and their trademark stolen audio into twenty-first century pop. Like the perpetual motion machines for which it is named, this collaboration will run and run and run and run and run and run and run . . . Released on Soleilmoon.
