Warrior Creed
Joy of Life/Apoptose - Warrior Creed, LP release date: December It was in 1988 when the British post punk group Joy of Life released their song »Warrior Creed«. Apoptose would never forget this track: the impressive vocals, the stoic drums, the minimalistic keyboards. 20 years later »Warrior Creed« is back – seen though Apoptose’s eyes. The voice of Joy of Life leadsinger Gary Carey has matured and the rhythm section is reinforced by an entire band of drummers, the Fanfarenzug Leipzig. Now the m…
Miaux
"warm thick tears force their ways out of droopy eyes, children cover their ears and peppep is rubbing his underbelly with sandpaper.the general gloom MIAUX spreads on her sandwiches is darker than tatort and could easily replace any soundtrack of a fassbinder movie, the sad joy of a lady from sarajevo pushing her entire hands into a keyboard, don't ask her for a encore or you'll receive a grim reward!it seems that a new breath of electronic music is blowing over antwerp, all in a sort of kubin/…
Acoustic solo percussion-vol.2
Great follow-up to the Swiss percussionist's first single. It has one side of music created by disturbing the skin of a drum head and another with a kind of spidery almost drumming. There is definitely the sense of a drum head being struck by something, but the touch is so light it really sounds more like rain on the roof of a metal building. Tup !’ - Byron Coley, The Wire, 2010’Here's the second volume of a projected series of four seven-inchers featuring Swiss improvising percussionist Christi…

Eerie Fragrance or Eyeless Fabrication or Exclude Frank or Eat F

Originally issued in 1995, on cassette, Eerie Fragrance or Eyeless Fabrication or Exclude Frank or Eat Fuck or etc (forever) was Climax Golden Twins second official issue after a self-released double seven inch gatefold record. Cassettes-the cockroach of the industry-were a necessity at the poorer end of the music spectrum prior to CDRs and file sharing... the good old days... EF was a collage of noise, found soun…
Ugly Man
Limited to 200 copies. Using fragments, distortions, samples and destructions of Dennis Cooper reading his story ÔUgly Man', Safe have made a powerful aural version of that story's charting of disintegration. From squalls of noise to perverse rhythms, Cooper's words grow and decline into countless shapes, often getting lost in the morass of what can be done to a voice, a body, in sound, only to re-emerge in some new hybrid form. Safe have added a greater sense of definition and drive to their so…

Chestnut Thornback Tar
As Norway’s premier noise troupe, Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre’s Jazkamer project has a certain status to uphold. Rather than resting on their well-earned laurels, Marhaug and Hegre keep a gruelling schedule of shows and an even more gruelling schedule of releases, which has culminated recently in an ambitious album-a-month series spanning throughout 2010. While the concept itself is now fairly well worn, what has astonished this time around is the sheer quality the duo has managed to ke…
Jerk // Through their tears
Jerk is a collaborative artist's book and audio recording by director Gisele Vienne, author Dennis Cooper, musician Peter Rehberg and performer Jonathan Capdevielle, which translates a previous collaborative theater work into a violent multimedia disquisition on puppetry, serial killing and homoeroticism.

Para Pacem Para Bellum
Para Pacem Para Bellum” is the first CD release with the great music of Svyatoslav Lunyov's. That serious, highly emotional and spiritual work is the result of two general methods of creating music: academic tradition (scores, acoustic instruments and playing of the real musicians) and the contemporary/experimental way (generating, synthesis, editing with computer tools). Needs to say that this electro-acoustic work combines the well-known traditional elements of the Requiem, Passions and the Ma…
Fever
Aiaiai, there we go again, 2 years ago it started and now it seems too late to ever stop it.. where is this gonna end, is of course an interesting question.. after a whole night long LA Bamba party (which is seriously a bigger aural torture than any noise gig), a lp with only La Bamba cover versions, a whole night long Popcorn and a accompanied comp lp, it's about time to abuse Eddie Cooley and John Davenport's Fever! on september 3rd 2011 the Fever night is happening on a boat in oostende, and …
