There is a parallel world to which we all live, and it is made up of chance, intuitions, fears, mysteries… Hoffmann explored, in everyday life, that hidden reality that can be guessed in dreams, visions, ghosts, funerary stories, scientific machinations. In short, a world full of strange and mysterious forces, which are able to play with the life and illusions of all of us.
“Nachtstücke” is a look at that universe where disturbing characters live that become oracles, supposedly trivial images that contain a mystery, as well as threatening inventions that never cease to amaze us. Thus, dreams, magnetism, telekinesis, somnambulism, forebodings, premonition and telepathy make up the matter of this disturbing reality
First sound work (“only be published in digital format” ) by Juan Carlos Toledo (Silent Love of Death) dark environments full of nuances and sparkles, subtle orchestration, minimalism sound.

Day Before Us – Adorned Path Of Stillness Label: Gradual Hate Records – GH 135 CD, Twilight Records – TW 1.153 Format: CD, Album Country: Argentina Released: 15 Feb 2018 Genre: Electronic, Classical Style: Dark Ambient, Neo-Classical, Neo-Romantic
Adorned path of Stillness » marks the return of the neoclassical and dark ambient music act Day Before Us on the Argentina based label Twilight Records, in collaboration with GH Records. This is their sixth full length release. This new effort is an enthralling soundtrack for dark, solemn, thoughtful times. It incorporates acoustic and lyrical sections next to electronic textures and diverse processed sounds.
The general atmosphere offers precious moments of introspective melancholia punctuated by mysteriously hypnotic instrumentals. This is a multifaceted album but also remarkably cohesive with many dynamics, emotional movements that will ravish fans of haunting and touching cinematic music in a rather classical mood.

Anemone Tube – The Three Worlds: Allegory Of Vanity / Forget Heaven / Vanity Of Allegory Label: The Epicurean – cure.20, La Esencia – LER021/2017 Format: 3 × CD, Album, Special Edition Country: Europe Released: 23 Oct 2017 Style: Dark Ambient, Industrial, Experimental
Music composed, recorded, mixed & edited by Anemone Tube 1996 – 2013. Concept, art and design by Anemone Tube 2015/17. Photography by Dario Lehner 2015, set design, photo editing by Anemone Tube 2015/17. Mastering by Hunter Barr 2017.
The complete “The Three Worlds: Allegory of Vanity/Forget Heaven/Vanity of Allegory” series contains “Allegory Of Vanity”, “Forget Heaven” and “Vanity Of Allegory” CD. Each CD comes in a 6 panel digifile printed on natural paper. All 3 digifile CDs of the series in slipcase incl. poster, sticker & stitched patch. Limited edition of 100 copies, signed & hand-numbered.
Far reaching pleasures will be at hand – Anemone Tube reveals a series of three CDs entitled “The Three Worlds: Allegory of Vanity / Forget Heaven / Vanity of Allegory”, referencing a cosmological treatise on the universe from the Theravada Buddhism of the 14th century, the subject matter of which is the description of three levels of existence of all beings and mythical creatures.
This extensive retrospective release contains selected tracks from various tapes released between 1997 and 1999 – mostly rare and unavailable today – as well as yet unreleased tracks recorded between 1997 and 2013, a.o. outtakes from the “Death Over China” recordings, handpicked and recontextualized by Anemone Tube, representing the project’s roughest and most atmospheric material up to date, ranging from depressive ritual experimental ambient over dark rhythmic industrial soundscapes to whirlwind noise. Sharply mastered by Hunter Barr for a powerful, contemporary sound, each CD comes in a 6-panel digifile featuring beautiful photography by Dario Lehner and is available as single CD as well as a limited edition 3 CD set in a lavish slipcase with poster, sticker and patch.
“The Three Worlds” is a work about transience on many levels, perfectly elucidated in the Buddhist Sutra “Far Reaching Pleasures”, “The three worlds are transient like clouds in autumn / Birth and death of all beings unfold like a dance / Their lives rush away like a mountain stream / Vanish like lightning in the sky”, which serves as the contextual framework for the CD series and is translated in the most beautiful and poetic fashion with three painstakingly arranged photographic scenes based on vanitas symbolism of old masters’ paintings.
The object photograph “Vanity of Allegory” plays with the dissolution of all phenomena, the transience of all things, all allegories, featuring an extinguished candle, jewellery – and the artist himself, vacuously pointing his finger a skull laughing at the spectator from the mirror. All that is combined with poetry suggesting the dissolution of the ego, seemingly closing the circle. Besides collected tracks from old and recent cassette releases and compilations, this also features three unreleased tracks from the “Death Over China” recordings and therefore represents the newest cut from the trilogy and thus musically bridges the gap to the recent works of Anemone Tube with their profound depth and complexity of sound.

The still life composition of the “Allegory of Vanity” cover references an abundance of those symbols: jewellery, a pocket watch, a catholic hymnal, skull and bones, withered flowers, a tipped over jug of wine, an extinguished candle, etc. Two collaboration tracks with Yggdrasil from 1997, two from the “Allegories for the Future” cassette and an unreleased track from 1998 are a perfect representation of Anemone Tube’s early old-school industrial / power-electronics phase, and yet proof that both the musical approach and the topical background were already fully developed at that stage.

Poland´Horologium need hardly any introduction. Over the years they managed to create their own musical language and win many hearts in the post-industrial milieu. Two years after their critically acclaimed “Earthbound” CD (Old Europa Cafe, 2008) they are back with even more solemn and powerful release. Martial trumpets, orchestral fury and tribal percussion have been skillfully combined with delicate neoclassical fragments, dreamy ambient parts and female recitation.
Everything intertwined to create once again the band’s one-of-a-kind sonic maelstrom. Sea waves singing along gentle piano tune, radio broadcast fighting against air raid siren, fire meeting water meeting fire meeting… Well, you damn well know what to expect, don’t you? These earthbound songs come exclusively as a 12” LP in gatefold edition, limited to 333 copies on black vinyl with an elegant A2 poster. The artwork has been designed by Lukasz Pawlak of Requiem Records.
“These earthbound anthems were crafted in 2008 and 2009 by Horologium.”
Comes in a gatefold cover with a A2 poster. Limited to 333 copies.
