Berlin-based project Silberstreif announces the release of their new album Ich suche dein Gesicht, available now on Bandcamp. With a name that translates to “silver lining,” Silberstreif crafts music that reflects both fragility and resilience, weaving together textures of ambient, electronic, and experimental sound.
Ich suche dein Gesicht (“I am searching for your face”) is more than an album: it is a sonic exploration of intimacy, distance, and the fleeting nature of human connection. Across…
When in 2006 our Zonic Spezial "Voltage. Power. Resistance. Magnetic Tape Underground GDR 1979-1990" was published in cooperation with Verbrecher Verlag and the legendary label ZickZack, there was some amazement. Especially when the enclosed CDs were listened to from a Western perspective. Part of this weird Kassettentäter-Ost potpourri of swirling post-punk variety, which Bert Papenfuß, Bo Kondren, Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok compiled with well-founded interpretive authority, was also a pie…
CD version. Bureau B present a very special release: Kiosque Of Arrows 2 is Detlef Weinrich's (aka Tolouse Low Trax) first compilation for Bureau B. Echoing the spirit of the legendary samplers found on Les Disques Du Crépuscule or Made To Measure, this hybrid journal not only collates unusual pieces of music -- rare and undiscovered pearls from the experimental underground of the early 1980s through to contemporary unreleased recordings -- it also represents a reflective collage of cut-ups, obs…
Thumbing through the back pages of German electronic music, Bureau B uncovers another hidden gem from the Sky Records archive: 'Inventions', the 1983 collaboration between Adelbert von Deyen and Dieter Schütz. Fusing expansive kosmische textures with biting rock guitars, motorik rhythms, and the growl of '80s synth-pop, the duo conjure a sonic singularity which still sounds like the future today. Compact yet cosmic, 'Inventions' distils ambient drift and experimental edge into taut, three-minute…
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, listening, and theft as tender attention.
*150 copies limited edition* Written, recorded, mixed, and produced by zakè. Featuring various instrumentation and improvisations by the following brethren: anthéne, Benoît Pioulard, Marc Ertel, and Purl. Piano accompaniments by hoax.
Electronic Sound Issue 139 arrives with Scritti Politti legend Green Gartside on the cover, bundled with an exclusive limited edition gold vinyl seven-inch featuring two of the group's much-loved mid-1980s classics: Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) and Perfect Way. Inside, an exclusive interview with Green marks the reissue of Scritti Politti's Songs To Remember (1982) and Cupid & Psyche 85 (1985), two brilliant albums that took the band from scratchy post-punk outsiders to electropop giant…
Recorded in 1981, Turning Japanese captures Kraftwerk at the absolute height of their creative dominance, but sometime before their true induction into the household name superstar category of artists. Still representing a very forward thinking, boundary pushing and - as a result - specialist sound, this nine-track live recording feels like yesterday's tomorrow.
Opening with a stunning neo-classical synth overture, we're then taken on a journey through the mind of the man machine, an industrial …
Tip! *75 copies limited edition* Ianua takes its name from the Latin word for “door,” drawing inspiration from the symbolism of Janus—the two-faced deity of beginnings, endings, and transitions. Conceived as a cyclical work where the end folds back into the beginning, the album is built entirely from guitar sounds, transformed through a Plumbutter and recorded to tape. Changes in tape speed and playback irregularities introduce subtle imperfections and shifting variations, allowing the loops to …
On Draconic Synthesis, Old Tower fuses past, present and speculative futures of its own sound into a single, coiled entity. Forest drones, star‑castles and serpentine motifs blur into seductively destructive dark music, lifting the first veil on the “horned serpent” whose scaly, symbol‑inked body is both dungeon and firmament.
On The Old King of Witches, Old Tower pares dark ambient down to its bones and dresses it in ‘90s deep electronics. Following a “stranger” lured through moss‑choked forests and caverns by reclusive witches, the album becomes a fiction of time stasis and regression, where man slides toward beast and the mysterious old world quietly devours the new.
On The World Is Empty, the Heart Is Full, Raspberry Bulbs strip away excess and come back sharper, crueler and strangely more tuneful. Eleven compact songs fuse metallic edge, noise‑rock abrasion and post‑punk unease, with venomous vocals lashing out at a self‑satisfied “underground” that mistake style exercises for substance.
On With Open Arms, Cult of Youth finally emerges from a seven‑year chrysalis with a sprawling “pagan post‑punk” epic. Born from off‑grid barn sessions, weaponized analog gear and years of cut‑and‑spliced reconstruction, the 62‑minute double album plays like a feverish exorcism turned into a hard‑won, defiant rebirth.
On Chaos Is A Law, Bob Bellerue treats feedback and rupture as a kind of secular mysticism. Macrotonal drones, rasping noise and inharmonic vortices surge, implode and re-form, turning piano wires, metal and amplifiers into a single, volatile organism where chaos becomes both method and mantra.
Anushka Chkheidze + Robert Lippok continue their collaboration with »The Sky Was Out of Tune«. Its eight movements form a long-form ambient piece in constant flux: soundscapes emerge from electronic synthesis and layered textures, while small melodies, rhythmic patterns, metallic noises, or distortions drift through like clouds across the sky. But a sky that is out of tune is still a sky. What shifts is the register in which it speaks.
»The Sky Was Out of Tune« emerges from a live performance fo…
"The story of each re-release begins with the original. In the late 90s, Uwe Zahn (Arovane), along with Robert Henke (Monolake) and Stefan Betke (Pole), began releasing music on Torsten Pröfrock’s (Dynamo) newly launched DIN label. This was a very inconspicuous undertaking, but fans of the flourishing IDM, glitch, and constantly evolving abstract techno genres quickly picked up on the quality of sound coming out of Germany. After a few successful EPs, Zahn began working on his debut full-length,…
