In lead with the masters of electronics from the 80's, Gin Devo (Vomito Negro Mastermind) strikes you with his new album "Electrotheque". Recorded on his massive collection of old school synthesizers, Gin takes you on a journey full of analogue basses, pumping drum machines, vintage string machines and sequential hardware madness. "Electrotheque" stands for "purists" and with this album Gin Devo proves to be one of the last artists whom is capable of generating this kind of hardware electronic music without compromises. So put on "Electrotheque," and enjoy the beat.
Formed in 1978, T.S.O.L. has carved its legacy into the punk and hardcore scene. When powerhouse RISE RECORDS announced the band’s new record (their 11th studio album!), "Trigger Complex", fans rejoiced for the first new music from the band in 8 years. "Trigger Complex" is released at a perfect point as the band’s politically charged music comes at a time of political turbulence.
ZOS KIA was formed by John Gosling (MEKON), John Balance (COIL) and Min - with guest Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson (THROBBING GRISTLE). Their one and only album, "Transparent", was released August 23rd 1983 in a cassette only edition on the now defunct Nekrophile label, Austria. They were the first released recordings of both COIL and ZOS KIA. It was reissued years later by COIL (Threshold House / Eskaton) in an edited edition. The entire recordings are now released on CD/vinyl for the first time and are completely remastered from the unedited tapes. Includes two previously unreleased bonus tracks by AKE (pre-ZOS KIA). The music on "Transparent" is genuinely unsettling and disturbing, with a more primal Industrial feel than the Coil album "Scatology", which followed. An essential insight into the very early work of these extraordinary artists and an undeniable link between Coil and Throbbing Gristle.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes are a British hardcore punk band formed in 2015 by former Gallows and Pure Love frontman Frank Carter. The band sees Carter return to the hardcore stylings of Gallows, as opposed to the alternative rock sound of Pure Love. "Modern Ruin" is the follow-up to the band's 2015 debut album "Blossom". This sophomore release includes the tracks "Snake Eyes" and "Lullaby". With a sound that returned Carter to the forceful sound of Gallows, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes made their recorded debut with the 2015 EP "Rotten", and in August 2015 they dropped their first full-length album, "Blossom". The band was soon touring regularly in the U.K. and Europe.
"Intoxicated Women" contains many duets and songs written by Gainsbourg, mostly during the 60s, in a period where he was focusing his songwriting on singers such as France Galle, Juliette Greco and most famously, Brigitte Bardot. Here Harvey has enlisted the talents of guest singers Channthy Kak (Cambodian Space Project), Australian singers Xanthe Waite (Terry, Primo), Sophia Brous, Lyndelle-Jayne Spruyt and Jess Ribeiro and the German chanteuse Andrea Schroeder plus a special appearance by Harvey's son, Solomon. The album opens with a stunning version of "Je T'aime… (Moi non plus)" - here titled "Ich Liebe Dich… (Ich Dich Auch Nicht)" - rendered in the sexiest imaginable German by the divine Ms. Schroeder and culminates with "Cargo Cult", the closing track from the classic "Melody Nelson" album. In between we are treated to a smorgasbord of Gainsbourg gems in English (with a bit of Khmer thrown in).
This album is Mick Harvey's volume #4 in Serge Gainsbourg Translations.

"The Swan Song Series" 3CD set is a collection of songs in which Tanya Donelly collaborated with friends, musicians and authors such as Rick Moody, Robyn Hitchcock, John Wesley Harding, Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang (Damon+Naomi/Galaxie 500), Bill Janovitz (Buffalo Tom), Tom Gorman (Belly), and Claudia Gonson (Magnetic Fields), and explored an impressive range that wasn't always captured on previous albums. This exclusive collection includes the first 5 self-released digital EPs + 7 brand new, previously unreleased, tracks on a 31 song set.
Tanya Donelly is a singer-songwriter and founding member of three of the most successful bands of the post-punk era. At the age of 16, she and stepsister Kristin Hersh formed Throwing Muses, which became the first American band ever signed to the influential British label 4AD. Donelly later sidelined with Pixies bassist Kim Deal to form The Breeders, appearing on the debut LP "Pod". She later exited both the Breeders and Throwing Muses to form her own band, Belly. Donelly would eventually disband Belly to raise her two daughters. She still found time to write and record music as a solo artist.
Futurismo repress this compilation of muzak covers DEVO recorded of their own songs and sold via their fan club. This bizarre material pushes the witty, eccentric and utterly unique DEVO sound in an even more extreme direction. "EZ Listening Muzak" comes with a wealth of wacky DEVO merchandise and although it is available as a CD boxset, the vinyl LP set comes in antique walnut or lava lamp colour!
