Psykho Genetika
Psykho Genetika is Konstruktivist's greatest record and one of the best classic Industrial albums of all time. Recorded in 1983 after Last Moments of 1923 and A Dissembly, it came out on Third Mind Records in the same year. Sadly, this outstanding album didn't get the recognition it deserved, due to lack of promotion and funding. The sounds on this record were so extreme that they couldn't be pressed onto a vinyl album, so it was first heard as it should be in 1993 when it was re-issued on the b…

The remastered album comes with the original artwork and new liner notes by Brecht Ameel (Razen) and Jürgen De Blonde. "There is an o…

RMX
**2019 stock** The Residents are fiddlers. Not fiddle players, just fiddlers. They like to play around and see different ways their songs could sound. They call this RMX. Some say RMX stands for "remix" but with The Residents, who knows? While the RMX concept is mostly associated with two album projects (The King and Eye RMX and WB:RMX), The Residents had also tinkered with individual songs. These were released as free streaming tracks on the band's official MySpace page (yes, they had one).In 2…

I Murdered Mommy!

The 1990s saw The Residents release a series of groundbreaking CD-ROMs. Freak Show was followed up by the interactive album Gingerbread Man and then the role playing game Bad Day On the Midway. All of these stood head and shoulders above the drivel which increasingly clogged the CD-ROM market and all featured Residential music as an integral part. I Murdered Mommy! would have been no exception.Inscape, the company which h…

Decouple ][ Series
**300 copies** Experimental solo cellist Oliver Coates (Rvng Intl., Prah) and techno-dub minimalist Spatial (Infrasonics) coalesce with the new installment for the Decouple ][ Series by subverting -through subliminal interventions and refined focus changes - pre-packaged music forms and textures in favor of new self-organizing tendencies.

So much time was devoted to writing and designing the CD-ROMs that, other than some soundtrack music for the game and a short side project, Pollex Christi, no mus…
