    Reutoff – No One’s Lullabies

    Label: Zhelezobeton – ZHB-LXI
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 23 Dec 2015
    Style: Experimental, Dark Ambient, Industrial, Illbient

    “No One’s Lullabies” is the 9th album by Reutoff, one of the best-known Russian projects on the international post-industrial scene. Over the course of one hour they will be performing their “lullabies” which won’t let you sleep though… The whole panopticon of borderline mental states will unfold before the eyes of our attention. Every track is a masterfully performed decadent dance of emotions and feelings. Steady industrial rhythms, an unhasting but assertive semi-drunk waltz, circus-like grotesque with wicked medieval shades, comatose jazz swinging in dark tones and epic electronic doom that could also fit well in the repertoire of their brother-project Otzepenevshiye – all imbued with remarkable spirit and slightly inflamed imagination.

    The material entitled “No One’s Lullabies” was initially produced as a cassette mini-album by the German label Sea State in 2014 in a small edition of 80 copies in unconventional handmade packaging. The extended version with four additional compositions was put out by Reutoff on their bandcamp page as a web-release. Now we’re glad to present the CD version of the album for the happy owners of CD-players and optical drives! The CD-edition contains an exclusive bonus track with a live version of one of Reutoff’s rare compositions. The disc is packed in a matte 4-panel cardboard digisleeve, artwork features paintings by Fabrice Billard, the chef of Divine Comedy Records.

    DMT – Ultimatum

    abril 4, 2016

    DMT – Ultimatum
    Label: KultFront ‎– KF-XXIV, Zhelezobeton ‎– ZHB-L
    Series: Znaki – none
    Format: CD, Compilation, Limited Edition
    Country: Russia
    Released: 27 Jul 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Experimental, Industrial

    DMT «Ultimatum» is the second album in «Die Zeichen» series run by kultFRONT and ZHELEZOBETON labels. The first part was released in 2013 – Sal Solaris «Die Scherben 2004-2010». The new album is a tribute to Dmitriy Tolmatskiy who unexpectedly left us in 2009. Dmitriy was one of the few journalists who popularized the alternative culture in Russia. In late 90-ies he created the web portal RWCDAX and his famous «Industrial Culture Extended FAQ» which unveiled previously unknown layers of post-industrial art for many Russians.

    «Ultimatum» shows the varied musical and stylistical planes of DMT. It mainly consists of compositions never officially released before, taken from CDRs which Dmitriy gave to his friends. There are also a few tracks from the compilations he had time to participate. Unfortunately not always were there notes and years of recordings. One track was digitized from an untitled audiocassette kept by the musician’s friends in his native city of Saratov. The album provides a glimpse into various periods of DMT’s sonic experiments from 1999 to 2008. It also features fragments of a live performance together with Alexei Borisov in St. Petersburg in December 2005.

    Astrowind – Semikarakory

    Label: Frozen Light ‎– FZL 019
    Format: CD, Mini-Album, Limited Edition, Numbered
    Country: Russia
    Released: 27 May 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient,Psychedelic Ambient

    We will go to Semikarakory!

    Latvian composer, musician and sound designer Kirils Lomunovs/Astrowind consistently develops alternative music style Paleopsychedelic Ambient f alling into the limits of the Dark Ambient genre, and still is being inspired with the art of an actor and director Alexander L. Kaidanovsky.The „Semikarakory” mini-album is delivered to the listeners by Russian label Frozen Light and is a logical sequel of the previous Astrowind album „Kaidanovsky”.
    The „Semikarakory” mini-album is dedicated to the full-length director’s work of Kaidanovsky – “Zhena kerosinshchika” [1989] (www.imdb.com/title/tt0096503/?ref_=fn_al_tt_9). This is an imagined walk in the dreary territory, where every being dwells in the anxious suspense, in an unquenchable thirst of freedom, haunted by the whing of the broken glass. “The chips are haunting me.” Every chip here is a painful reminder of hopes’ delusion. Insanity here is the only way to hide. Everyone here hopes for a miracle, dreams to soar up high above reality, to reach for an absolution, but even angels cannot escape this smothering space.
    The liberation lies within music.
