IMPLANT "IMPLANTOLOGY +
THE
SURGICAL
FILES"
Implant, the project of Len Lemeire, has been trying to
contribute to the already massive inheritance of the Belgian electronic scene
since 1992. 8 full length albums, 7 EP’s, uncountable remixes and several
productions later, one can only agree that the music itself is the universal
language. It was because of his music that Len teamed up with several of the
early pioneers of electronic music. When ANNE CLARK heard Len’s remix for
‘Sleeper in Metropolis’, Implant became the electronic live band of ANNE CLARK
for 5 years, resulting in guest contributions of Anne on 2 albums (‘Audio
Blender’ and ‘Self Inflicted’). When Jean-Luc de Meyer (FRONT 242) heard an
implant track, he decided not only to contribute vocals for 1 track, but a full
blown new project was born under the
flag of
32CRASH. Building on a live reputation with concerts all over Europe and a
short visit to the USA, IMPLANT is ready to engage in another
musical adventure called : ‘Implantology’, an attraction sonic pole where all
the various musical orientations IMPLANT went through in his lustrous career
converge and unite. Keeping the innovation flourishing, IMPLANT forge the frontiers of eclecticism
and sound diversity more than ever before and even manages this time injecting
some acoustic guitar sounds into their impressive mélange of modern electronics, eighties melodic
less-is-more flavors, industrial dance beats and beautifully contrasting male/female vocals. Len is here once
again surrounded by prestigious guest vocalists like his partner in crime
FRONT
242's Jean-Luc De Meyer, but also NEON JUDGEMENT, PSY'AVIAH, PLASTIC NOISE EXPERIENCE or
yet ANGELSPIT! Did you have your IMPLANT today? The album is also
available as a deluxe limited 2CD box
including a 13-track bonus remix album featuring
reworks by acts like THE HORRORIST, XOTOX, ATTRITION, SIGNAL AOUT

TAMTRUM "F*** YOU I'M
DRUNK
+
STRONGER THAN CATS"
Spring 2009 - France: Aix-en Provence’s authorities put the
Southern region of France on a state of "maximum alert" after the departmental
police reported serious risks of a new popular revolt – exactly 3 years after
the last curfew was imposed. Punished for writing the very controversial album
“Elektronic Blakc Mess” and for promoting anarchy and revolution on the French
music scene, the TAMTRUM gang had their room and phone monitored for years so it
seemed. And this is probably how the secret services discovered the French
gang’s imminent new assault, expressing once more their engaged desire for a
musical regime change. Here is the real story of what is occurring in
Aix-en-Provence today: communiqués and other pieces of evidence prove that
TAMTRUM shall be back in town exactly 3 years after their last opus, armed with
a conceptual 3rd album that will for sure once more let ink flow… Note that
there is a secret code-link hidden in the album that opens doors for fans to
experience extreme artistic freedom – allowing the listeners to take control on
the future of the music industry itself. TAMTRUM’s new sonic shock is
conceptually divided into 2 radically different parts: the A-side with
“Fuck You I’m Drunk” and the B-side with “Stronger Than Cats”…The adventure
starts straight into it by inviting you, against any expectation, to a depraved
cocktail party of brainless electro rock’n clash orgy full of sex, drugs,
alcohol and other forbidden sounds. TAMTRUM are partying at full speed with
provocative nonsense “drunk'n fuck” lyrics over groovy carrying tunes. The toxic
combination opens your senses to the maximum and prepares your intoxicated body
to next take on the “Stronger Than Cats” assault. This “B-side” reveals a more
deviant and darker face of the band, bringing “dark elektro on speed” tracks,
carrying you with them on another upbeat bad trip, on their spiralling descent
to hell and the end of the “fête”… Sylvicious, Benoit XVI and Fixhead dared to
challenge the TAMTRUM sound and are now fucking ready for another infectious and
shocking tour across Europe that will bring this new level of hi-energy and
merciless aggressive-groovy assault to their summoned audiences. Remember that
TAMTRUM is above all a live band bringing strip-tease shows and other
weird & unpredictable liquid / fluo-chemical performances to stage, which only reinforces their brutal,
uncompromising and decadent image. Keep the fainthearted kids secluded at home!
For the hardcore fans of TAMTRUM, the album is also available
as a CD Splicase deluxe edition strictly limited to 666
copies with explicit stickers and on a bonus second cd: the sonic recording in
6 acts of selected total reinterpretations of TAMTRUM’s new hits
by Claus Larsen (LEAETHER STRIP/KLUTAE) in total freedom of musical
speech. This is not a collaboration, this is a true electronic devastating rape
by the master of electronic mayhem. Released on Alfa Matrix and
available June 6th, 2009.

SEIZE
"CONSTANT
FIGHT + REMATCH"
It took
more than 60 months for [SEIZE] to complete the follow-up album to their
brilliant "The Other Side Of Your Mind" CD. An extremely long wait for the fans
who will now soon be rewarded for their patience and faith in this talented
London-based act. During this time iSandi, Rosie and Steven went through tough
personal problems, experienced severe computer trouble that erased a nearly
completed album. Against all odds, they survived their heavy doses of
frustration, each time fighting back and gaining energy from their steadily
successful live shows. Meanwhile they continued experimenting with new gear and
other production software, multiple collaborations with other artists and in the
end, [SEIZE] simply returned stronger and more mature than ever before in this
constant fight, called "life". "Constant Fight", [SEIZE]'s 3rd album is full of
Electro House styled music with a British Pop touch. Be
open-minded and imagine a jam session between KOSHEEN and DAFT PUNK, and even though
we're quite close to this envision-jam session, [SEIZE] has its own
identity featuring iSandi's brilliant soaring vocal talent! Break Beat loops, melodic
piano strings, electro dance sequences, tight guitar riffs, a touch
of laid-back trip-hop and alluring female vocals… all nicely presented in as faultless production
work. An album to play at maximum volume to enjoy
its full vibe! The Dance scene will also enjoy the
bonus 15-tracker album "ReMatch" included in the deluxe limited box edition full of
kicking club mixes and illuminating collaborations. Released on Alfa Matrix and
available June 12th, 2009.

***** HOT
PRE-ORDERS!!
EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN "ENDE
NEU
- RE-ISSUE"
On the day of the band’s 16th anniversary, April 1, 1996,
Blixa Bargeld wrote “Ende Neu” (Ending New), a text that immediately advanced to
the title song of the Einstürzende Neubauten’s seventh album. This work marks
one of the most important turning points in the band’s history to date, not only
because of the strength of its almost prophetic words, but also thanks to some
important musical developments as well as influential changes in band members.
Although the four composers leafed through their archives of the
“industrialization” of modern music once again for this production, developing
and bringing to light long-forgotten blueprints and chronicles for the most
obscure sound makers of all times, the Einstürzende Neubauten’s compositions
were never before as harmonious and lyrical as on “Ende Neu.” “Stella Maris,” a
ballad performed in duet by Blixa Bargeld and Meret Becker accompanied by
opulent string instruments, is probably the best known song that resulted from
this reorientation. One of the first representatives in their new musical guild,
this song helped the Einstürzende Neubauten to make the jump to MTV programming
and the like. As could be expected, the band’s new demeanor led to heated
discussions among fans. Friends of the band who had remained skeptical until
then quickly embraced the new sound, whereas supporters of the first album could
no longer get used to the unusually conciliatory sounds. Nevertheless, the
majority of fans accompanied them down the newly paved path, becoming grateful
witnesses to what were probably the most sensational evolutions of the
Einstürzende
Neubauten since their debut of “Kollaps” (Collapse) in 1980. Even
the press appreciated the work and primarily found words of praise for it. However, despite
everything, the album also signified the end of the band’s long-standing configuration consisting
of Blixa Bargeld, N. U. Unruh, Alexander Hacke and F. M. Einheit. F. M.
Einheit left the group to devote more time to solo activities.
Now, a year before the Einstürzende Neubauten’s thirtieth anniversary and thirteen years after the
debut release of “Ende Neu,” the album – with reworked artwork and enhanced by
bonus material – is coming back into stores under the in-house label
Potomak. In addition to the track “Bili Rubin,” normally available only on the single
“Stella Maris,” the CD includes the original enhanced section of the
formerly limited
edition video clips and sound
samples from the studio works. Released on Potomak and available May 1st,
2009.

DARKMEN "GUILTY!"
Machineries Of Joy is enriched by the newborn Darkmen.
Although around for quite some time in the underground demo scene, Darkmen
can easily be compared to a good vintage wine that became better with time. With
impressive timing, they are here to take their stand and start the battle to
earn that well-deserved place amongst the big players in the Electronic
Body Music (EBM) scene. Darkmen officially start their battle with this EP
called "Guilty EP" (MEN001), where two tracks from their upcoming album "Guilty
By Association" (MEN002) named "Stop the machine" and "No future" get the full
remix treaty. Packed with an extreme high quality content, this strong set
of remixes will force you to move while aching for more brutal electronics. Next
to both "Transmission editions" of the main tracks (produced and edited by their
label mates Ionic Vision), Darkmen themselves deliver a different, more subtle,
and danceable approach of "No Future" in the form of their "No more pain mix".
Ad:key enhances solid angst driven electronics with his "Detune mix" of "Stop
the machine" while another new coming band A.D.A.C. 8286 embraces another
violent stomping exploration, showing that there is a lot more quality wandering
around in the current scene. But the icing on the cake here is delivered by two
current major EBM dinosaurs Orange Sector and Ionic Vision. None
less than
Orange Sector deliver two extreme bashing versions of "No future" ("Angst vor der Zukunft"
and "Was
ist
die Wirklichkeit"), both different in tempo but so
fierce, so true old-school. Last in taking the remix responsibility is Ionic
Vision, who unleash their machines leading into another assault for the EBM dance floor
("Ionic machines take over"). All in all, this EP shows what
talent is coming up strong, Belgian Darkmen is kicking hard, feel
it, learn it, choose it! This "Guilty EP" (MEN001) serves as a warm
up masterpiece for an even bigger masterpiece, their upcoming album "Guilty
By Assocation" (MEN002).

SILENT KILLER "EVERYONE BLEEDS"
The biggest surprise for those familiar with the usual
brutality of Silent Killer's music is the sheer accessibility of the entire
album. Taking elements of the most recent electro happenings and fusing them
with heavy and precise drum n bass beats, EVERYONE BLEEDS is a true crossover
masterwork. From the melodic opening of Savior to the uplifting synths in The
Great Machine the album rocks like drum n bass thugs at the
electro club –
partying nonstop and smashing the place up while loving every second.
Remixes from top level dnb producer Submerged and up and coming
Guerilla head honcho Breaker liven up the album, without distracting from the vibe. Melodic interplay
and razor sharp reeses dot the record while thick,
powerful beats and subsonic basses fire underneath, keeping the groove moving
throughout. Surprising, elevating, and memorable, EVERYONE BLEEDS is a testament to
Silent Killer's
maturing as an artist. Label: Ohm Resistance is
Brooklyn’s premier drum n bass and experimental electronic label. The
label has transformed from drum n bass 12" powerhouse to cutting
edge electronic project pioneer. Released on Ohm Resistance and available
April 27th, 2009.

THE PROJECT PALE
"OUR INVENTIONS AND HOW
THEY
FAILED US"
The Project_Pale is fronted by Kingston NY's Jason Selden,
known to the drum n bass world as Glitch from the Chosen. Jason's guitars are
reminiscent of Jesu, Isis, and have an edge that comes from his tutelage under
Cynic's Paul Masvidal. Bass duties are covered by a familiar face to most Ohm
Resistance followers: Submerged. Rounding out the group is Brooklyn's
Sensi*star, aka Phillia Kim Downs, who vocalizes on
several of the albums tracks. Our Inventions and How They Fail
Us is an amazing debut
record from a newly formed group.
Running the gamut from upbeat synth rock to droning, shoegaze songs and always
with an undercurrent of metal and electronic music influence, the album does not sit
in one space quietly, but leads the listener on a journey
thru many styles and iterations of the guitar/bass/keyboards/vocals/drums chimera. Produced by Bill
Laswell, the album delivers, from the over the top synth melody of Driving These
Icy Roads, to the Pink Floyd-esque vocals on Pulled Out To Sea, to the
epic instrumental Transatlantic. Vocoder action, dubbed out mixes, and even the appearance of
a distinctly drum n bass reece line in a rock track power up
this Our Inventions and How They Fail Us creatively and leave you
wanting more. Released on Ohm
Resistance and available

In a forward moving

PLASTIK
JOY "3:03"
Plastik Joy's Debut album 3:03 which gets its name from the
time of morning when the recording sessions usually came to an end. The duo of
Cristiano Nicolini (ITALY) and Fannar Ásgrimsson (ICELAND) with a bit of
supportive help from a few friends created an album that emits a definitive
nocturnal quality. It feels as sensual as it is lonely, as dreamy as it is
conscious, and as bright as the dim glow of midnight street lights, definitely
music for after the after party. A perfect soundtrack to watch the sun return to
its perch or
to loose
yourself in on a hazy day. Released on n5MD and
available May 5th, 2009.

SPC
ECO "3-D"
SPC ECO (pronounced SPACE ECHO after the vintage Roland
201) are Rose Berlin (Voice of
an Angel),
Dean Garcia (Production, Bass, Drums, and Guitar), and Joey Levenson
(Sonic Guitar FX).
SPC
ECO combine layer upon layer of guitar-laden soundscapes along with fierce
electronic drums and fluid dub bass lines. Within, without and textured
throughout is Rose Berlin’s voice, one of the most delicate and wondrous
instruments known to man. SPC-ECO is a spaced out hybrid of “nu gaze
tripadelica” that combines soul-lifting, mind-expanding, heart-soothing bliss
with monolithic beats, heavy bass grooves and layers of
effects...a beautiful
cacophony of ambient noise echoes. Released on Noiseplus and available
April 27th, 2009.
