Beyond The Stellar Filth Harbinger Sound 058 LP £14.99 Limited edition of 100 copies split LP only ‘officially’ available direct from the label and the artists themselves. This one presents some earlier material from both groups, recorded live at the 13th Note in Glasgow in November 2006 and features Minoise in classic actionist-assault mode and Insecten in his early punk-primitive one cymbal, one microphone and a ticket to oblivion phase. |

Eliminated Total Vermin #19 CD-R £4.99 New collaborative project from Stuart Arnot (Ghost Of An Octopus/Smear Campaign et al) and Ruaradidh Sanachan of Nackt Insecten. Arnot is on acoustic guitar, Sanachan on electronics and voice. The electronics and vocals sound like shortwave static invaded by alien tongues while the treated acoustic guitar comes on like some kind of outer space gamelan as visioned by Sonny Blount, sounding percussive twonks and smears while Sanachan tone-dials the galaxy. Edition of 50 copies. |

s/t Other Electricities OE-014 LP £9.99 "Second in a series of vinyl only releases, Other Electricities presents Berezka/Monkey Lament by Russian avant-folk artist Gultskra Artikler and the UK drone outfit Lanterns. Complementary by nature of thoughtful experimentation, kindred by their undeniably enveloping output, Berezka/Monkey Lament brings the creations of Gultskra Artikler and Lanterns together in a familiar format, with unique contributions from each. Exclusive tracks and artwork dawn each side of a limited edition LP, displaying the artists' visions for their side of this entrancing combination record. Gultskra Artikler is a project of Alexey Devyanin. Originally from Novosibirsk, Russia, he is currently based in Moscow. His art absorbs the feeling of the inclement winters and endless snow-white landscapes. The music of GA lives in its own way, it has no prototypes. It's a unique mixture of brutal and honest vibes of mysterious Siberian soul and hi-tech-nologies, unpredictable electro-acoustic and avant-garde instrumental movements, precision electronic manipulations and strange field recordings. A sort of Neo-folk cyber-psychedelia. Since 2004, Alexey has actively released his sounds in various formats and quantities on labels such as Miasmah, Lampse, Autoplate, Nexsound, Hyperboloid and SAAG. Originally conceived sometime in 2005, Lanterns formed as a tribute to disobedients past and present. A desire to experiment with the limited tools available to them in a quest for new modes of expression has led to hours of recordings, some of which made their way onto releases by labels such as Sloow Tapes, Beyond Repair, Blackest Rainbow as well as their own Screeching Snowflake imprint. Lanterns certainly dig the spirit of improvisation but in a gonzo knuckle headed fashion where the process is as important as the results and friends who would not normally consider themselves to be musicians have been drafted in for jams, all of which are recorded into one microphone with minimal editing. The moment of 'now' is always key in a Lanterns jam and when that is found the experience can be truly magical. Keen to find a balance between beauty and ugliness, sweet with the sour, dissonance and harmony, randomness with control, their brand of emotive Kosmische music is the kind that draws you in gently and spits you out at the other end. Lanterns is currently slimmed down to a duo of Luke and Andreas, mainly playing a combination of guitars, keyboards and various amplified acoustic sound sources, and Geographically split between Leeds and Glasgow." - OE. |

The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog Screeching Snowflake SS-06 CD-R £7.99 New self-released solo drone thunder from Andreas of UK wig-lifters Lanterns, with a monolithic Kraut heft that orbits the kinda debris left in the wake of Kluster’s early Zodiac Club actions incinerated with endless E-bow guitar. All in hand-assembled sleeves. |
