Dome 2

Double Cut
*2023 stock* The second of two collaborations involving Moebius and Gerd Beerbohm, Double Cut sounds miles away from the relatively harmless electronic/pop experiments of solo work by Moebius or Cluster. Consisting of only four extended tracks, the album expresses the dark side of electronics courtesy of the repetitive trance-state on "Hydrogen" and "Minimotion." Double Cut is much closer to electronic inheritors in the experimental and techno fields than Moebius' usual new age pursuits.

80s Underground Cassette Culture: Volume 2
Glasgow’s Contort Yourself trawl the scuzzier echelons of ‘80s tape culture for the tangiest traces of coldwave, post-punk, post-industrial with an uncanny appreciation of the way the 1980s and 2022 share so much in common.
Delivered to a backdrop of a UK in terminal decline, dominated by ghoulish Tory gas lighters and sex pests, but just about keeping its head above water, ‘’80s Underground Cassette Culture’ offers an ideal soundtrack to disenchantment coloured in morose monochrome and a loomin…
Etudes De Rien
* Edition of 200 copies, black vinyl * The New Blockaders are unique in the history of music and art. What, in our opinion, stands supreme in TNB’s 40-year existence is a passionate execution of their anarchistic and unconventional stance. In a biographical reference, TNB are often cited as pioneers of Noise music but for TNB themselves Noise music is not just an assault on tonality but a complex language of communication. From Luigi Russolo's 1913 Art Of Noise manifesto to TNB’s T.I.C. manifest…
T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette
"A pivotal, early release of electronic new wave, this single oddly gained more notoriety for its B-side, "Warm Leatherette." Amidst jolting zaps, pops, and blipping skips, Daniel Miller robotically intones about the pleasures of car crash as foreplay: "A tear of petrol is in your eye/The hand brake penetrates your thigh/Quick -- let's make love/Before you die." The track sounds like a darkly cartoonish version of a malfunctioning dot matrix printer: clinically pristine, minimal, and sinister. A…
