    Label: Shadowplay Release – SPR 148, Zhelezobeton – ZHB-XXXVIII, Monopoly Records – none
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition

    The Moscow-based project Cyclotimia, well-known for its long-standing interest for the world of global finance, stockmarket speculators and multinational corporations, presents its new work «The Invisible Hand of Market». According to the musicians, this is not a conceptual album dedicated to the economic term of Adam Smith. In this case it’s rather a metaphor “invisibly” linking together various compositions created during 2010-2013.

    The album’s program consists of ten polystylistical tracks combining such genres as «post-industrial», «minimal(ism)», «dark ambient», «experimental» and «downtempo». The main line is a connection between the “sacral” and the “futuristic”, a combination of a liturgical atmosphere and electronic music based on the above-mentioned styles.

    A separate part of the disc belongs to a 20 min. long electro-acoustic suite “Oil & Gas Colony” in five acts. Parts of vocal, classical string, wind and percussion instruments were recorded inside a dome of an abandoned radar station – a carbon fiber sphere 20 meters in diameter with a unique acoustic environment. This monumental work tells about the malignant nature of the resource-based economic model in modern Russia.

    The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud (styled The Moon lay hidden beneath a Cloud) was an Austrian musical duo composed of Albin Julius and Alzbeth. Their music reflected their deep fascination with myriad aspects of European medievalism including ritual, clerical chants and the daily experience of the peasantry.

    Their music combined modern electronics, tape loops and samplers with medieval instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, shawm, and Hexenscheit. Alzbeth was the primary vocalist for the group and often sang traditional songs in numerous archaic languages including Middle High German, Latin and Old French. Julius provided distorted and backup vocals.

    When performing live, the band often played in old churches, fortresses, medieval prisons and theatres that provided an appropriate atmosphere for their static, militaristic performances.

    Early on, the band provided no official photographs or any more information outside of a Swiss mailing address found inside of the albums. The band rarely appeared live or granted interviews. No songs were ever given official titles. After their split, both of the duo were considerably more vocal and promotional images were released.

    With each subsequent release the band presented themes traveling further into European history and becoming more martial, choral and bombastic in approach, culminating in their final album; the largely World War II-inspired The Smell of Blood but Victory (1997)…

    Hunting Lodge ‎– 1982-1989

    septiembre 29, 2025

    Hunting Lodge ‎– 1982-1989
    Label: Dark Vinyl Records ‎– DV74
    Format: CD, Album, Compilation, Limited Edition
    Country: US
    Released: 14 Jul 2017
    Style: Experimental, Industrial, Post-Punk

    HUNTING LODGE can be seen as one of the few real «Industrial » pioneers in the early 80`s (beside SPK, LUSTMORD, THROBBING GRISTLE ..) «1982 – 1989» represents the «song oriented» side of a band that evolved relentlessly throughout its 8 years of existence. Incl. the remastered / restored version of the legendary underground club hit: «Tribal Warning Shot» Lon C. Diehl & Richard Skott met in Port Huron, Michigan, a «rust belt» town bordering Canada, in 1981, and quickly bonded over their fascination with the music of T.G., SPK, M.B., and Dome. The duo, having previously been involved in separate musical projects, decided to join forces and Hunting Lodge was born. Joined by Karl Nordstrom, the trio mixed synthesizers, bass, metal & electronic percussion, time-shifting effects, and vocals into a dark sonic stew. Nordstrom moved to San Francisco after the recording of the first Hunting Lodge release, the cassette-only At The Harrington Ballroom (1982). Diehl now employed a Roland Synth, Sequencer & 808 drum machine. Skott added his guitar to the musical arsenal, which he used to trigger a Korg MS-20 synth and a vocoder. Diehl and Skott continued recording at a feverish pace, and their first LP, WILL (track 14) was released in 1983.
