    ‘APOCRYPHICAL SOUNDTRACK FOR THE BOOK OF ST. LEM’ – This dark ambient album is based on ‘His Master’s Voice’ (or ‘Glos Pana’ in Polish), a science fiction novel written by Stanislaw Lem, first published in 1968. It is a densely philosophical story about an effort by scientists to decode, translate and understand an extraterrestrial transmission. The novel critically approaches humanity’s intelligence and intentions in deciphering and truly comprehending a message from outer space.

    His Master’s Voice (original Polish title: Glos Pana) is a science fiction novel written by Stanislaw Lem, first published in 1968. It is a densely phliosophical first contact story about an effort by scientists to decode, translate and understand an extraterrestrial transmission. The novel critically approaches humanity’s intelligence and intentions in deciphering and truly comprehending a message from outer space.

    Human beings should accept some humility. Sometimes we face phenomena the essence of which we are unable to understand. Even if we are equipped with the most modern scientific apparatus and knowledge we are incapable of resolving whether they are accidental or intentional. Newton once said that with respect to nature we are just children playing with shells on the seashore.

    In memory of Stanislaw Lem 1921-2006

    Atomine Elektrine ‎– Laniakea

    Label: Wrotycz Records ‎– WRT 023, Wrotycz Records ‎– WRT023
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Poland
    Released: 09 Oct 2015
    Style:  Ambient, Berlin-School, Experimental

    The word Laniakea means the immeasurable heaven: deep, spacious, dark and ostensibly emtpy but still full of energy, matter, structures and bright objects. The same words can be said about the sound on the new studio album by Atomine Elektrine. Further on, the ‘Laniakea’ album is also characterized by molecular reactions, eroding particles, nuclear fractals, diffused lightwaves and multiversed orbits. Old fashioned modular analogue electronic synthesis combined with modern digital processing is the gravitational focal point on ‘Laniakea’. The tracks have mainly sequencer driven narratives with ambient layers of both classic retro styled elements and advanced processed novel sounds.

    The origin of the ‘Laniakea’ album is based on two fundamental occurrences: The definition of the galaxy supercluster Laniakea in 2014 and the decease of the Tangerine Dream mastermind Edgar Froese in 2015. ‘Laniakea’ is simply a homage to the vastness of space and a eulogy to the kosmische musik that appeared in the early 1970’s.

    Three bonus tracks (sketches) are included on the CD version (duration 76 minutes) compared to the digital download album (duration 61 minutes). Comes in a 6-panel digipak sleeve with original art by Hypsis (hypsis.net).

    Atomine Elektrine is a side project of Peter Andersson, most known from the dark ambient industrial project raison d’être, with thematic interest in the vast space but also in the smaller world of atoms. It is named after a nuclear power plant and is in part inspired by the electronic space music of the 70’s. Peter Andersson, let out his version of this musical direction in the beginning of 1992, and since then has been expressed on a number of albums, for instance ‘Archimetrical Universe’ (1999), ‘Nebulous’ (2007) and ‘The Deep Invisible’ (2008).

    Bonus tracks (CD only):

    1. Achernar
    2. Acamar
    3. Zeta Normae

    Kazeria – Nihilist Militant

    Kazeria – Nihilist Militant
    Label: Gradual Hate Records ‎– GH 133 CD
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition Digipack
    Country: Spain
    Released: 10 June 2017
    Style: Industrial, Martial, Dark Ambient, Neoclassic

    /// SOLD OUT ///

    With this new album, Kazeria gathers a retrospective and very personal material. All tracks (or “explorations”) are unedited and they were recorded between 2003-2007, pretty earlier to the formation of the project and on “a troubled personal time; one of militant nihilism” according to [S] own words. Neither hi-tech nor hi-fi were used in here.

    Back at that time [S] employed worn and minimal gear, using primitive recording technics (hand-manipulation, mostly) in order to create “old school” and minimalistic industrial, black / dark ambient and noise but including many elements that can be recognized on Kazeria´s later works.
