    Nostalgie Eternelle – Notre Debut

    octubre 13, 2017

    Nostalgie Eternelle – Notre Debut
    Label:FinalMuzik – FME2
    Format:CD, Compilation, digipak
    Country:Italy
    Released:2011
    Style:Synth-pop, Electro, Industrial, Experimental, Darkwave

    Nostalgie Éternelle was a German duo active from 1986 to 1991. Stefan Heinze (well-known as Inox Kapell) and Dieter Mauson (later member of Delta-Sleep-Inducing Peptide, with Siegmar Fricke) recorded a large number of songs in just few years, distributing them mainly through self-released tapes and international cassette compilations. “Notre Début” is a collection of twenty (!) remastered tracks from Nostalgie Éternelle solo cassettes and compilation tapes, 1988 – 1991, now available on CD for the first time in a handnumbered digi-slim sleeve. Classic 80’s dark minimal synth-wave, distant obscure vocals, thrilling synthscapes, including influences from icy electronic music and d.i.y. industrial. “Notre Début” is also an open window to know better 80’s cassette-scene and culture; n example, four songs have been previously released on two tapes in 1988, on my old Discipline Produzioni cassette-label: releasing this CD has been a great chance to bring them back to life, together with songs published at that time by 80’s cult labels such as Insane Music, Jar, EE Tapes, Headkleaner, Weed Music and more. A cold, dark “Goodbye!” to 80’s decade and a claustrophobic “Hello!” to the upcoming 90’s. Someone told us that 2011 will be the year of Nostagie Éternelle comeback: If so (fingers crossed), “Notre Début” will be the best introduction to this precious, interesting, original 80’s electro-wave band

    Common Eider, King Eider ‎– Shrines For The Unwanted, Respite For The Cast Aside
    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR243CD
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: UK
    Released: 25 Sep 2017
    Style: Drone, Experimental, Dark Ambient

    The triumphant reawakening of San Francisco’s masters of behemoth ritualistic darkness…

    Within “Shrines For The Unwanted, Respite For The Cast Aside”, bone, antler and voice produce connective threads between the worlds, as guitar and percussion punctuate shifts in mood. Voices call to the spirits, and the spirits call back in return. Recorded in 2016 during four private, collective only rituals, the pieces pull the listener through the darkest and most overgrown trails of the blackest forest. Monumental and horizonless ritualistic black ambience. Vocal visitations by A.C. Way of Sutekh Hexen.

    Common Eider, King Eider is headed by Rob Fisk (ex-Deerhoof), Andee Connors (A Minor Forest, legendary aQuarius boss).

    Cages – Folding Space

    octubre 8, 2017

    Cages – Folding Space
    Label:Cold Spring
    Catalog: CSR121CD
    Format:CD, Album
    Style: Post Rock, Experimental

    There is nothing fun or pedestrian about dreams that are uncompromising to the point of reality.
    The shaking notes that make up “Folding Space” were recorded by two people holed up in their whole respective imaginations of visions of loops, layers and pleading lyrics.
    It is stubborn but not ugly, nearly one hour of music set in studios buried by blizzards of the American Great Lakes region.

    Cages is Nola Ranallo and David Bailey.

    They practiced, moved apart, relayed tapes through the mail, revised the entire damned thing, and then rejoined to capture every last seizure on this record.
    They sought sounds from the same dreams that give fools belief and colorfully punctuate the nights of the sanest.

    There are elements of dreamy ether and discomfort rather than the easy choruses and catchphrases of the most collected and consumed art form.
    And, then, you’ll find a song radiating another thing entirely.
    Live, the duo transfers their forged and found music into a very personal presentation that soars above the casually talking show-goers, the poor man’s jazz bands, and the art house showboats.

    Patrons and fellow musicians are pulled in; sounds are pushed out but never apart.
    “Folding Space” is a foot to the honest and hard road, which can quickly cut away the uncurious and reward the rest like the tapes listened to repeatedly in the fevers of your youth. Please mull and judge, and add to the tops or bottoms of the lists you think necessary. And know the visions backing this elaborate music were recorded and are performed for a primary reason: to exist freely.“
