VELEHENTOR Zona Otchuzhdeniya (Zone of Alienation)
AB-53
The album is tributed to the Russian «ghost-towns» Kadykchan, Kursha-2
and Halmer-U.
Kadykchan («Death Valley» in Evenk) is a miners urban village in
Susuman district of Magadan region, which was left by the inhabitants
after the mine detonation in 1996. Nowadays only a few native people
live in this dead town without central heating and water and power
supply in half-destroyed apartments.
Kursha-2 was build shortly after the Russian Revolution as a workers
village for mastering vast forests of the Central Meshera. In the
year 1936, during hot and windy summer, 1200 humans were burnt out
alive because of the forest fire that surrounded Kursha and outskirts.
Halmer-U («Death Valley» in Nenets) is situated in the area that
was used by natives as a burial place for centuries. In the end
of 20th century it became another «not wanted» miners town. People
were evicted to Vorkuta city by riot squads.
Three tracks of disturbing static oppression. All-dead Drone Ambient
and sizzling Drone Noise dressing you alive. VELEHENTOR is well-known
for its skill in creating the proper atmosphere using only facts,
and here it is reproducted as by a direct witness.
Price: 8 euro Format: factory-made
CD-r
Edition: 100 copies in a sleeve.

Final part in the history of the project. The first two 3" CDrs
gained a lot of attention and and good reviews, many people asked
if any continuation would happen.
If [untitled I] was rather bombastic, with neoclassic elements, whereas
[untitled II] shifted emphasis to ambiences and minimal use of instruments
while being more industrial — [untitled III] merges those two sides
of Martial genre, combining light and touchy melodies with deep background
ambiences.

URNA Liber Lelle
AB-46
Obscure art of Gianluca Martucci makes a big step towards shining eternity with every
new recording. He started in early 90s with raw, dirty, blasphemous and fetid Black Ambient.

sacral rituality.
The new album is devoted to the life and death of Angela da Foligno who was a Christian author, nun, and mystic.
Voice, heart, breath, blood, bells, cymbals, percussion, mandolin, balalaika, zither, accordion and flutes weave
of superfine ether strings a smooth covering canvas of acoustic music.

ANTI-VERSTAND Song Like Wind
AB-44
ANTI-VERSTAND - side-project of YAO 91404 D - is pretty known among
adorers of Russian Noise due to tapes released by YAOP and a couple
of CDR re-releases made by Abgurd and Fight Muzik.
With "Song Like Wind" the project introduces absolutely
new and fresh point of view on its Art. The first recordings of ANTI-BRAIN
were on the verge of boundless madness and unprejudiced aural challenge,
while the new album appears to be more expressive, strict and catchy,
burning with romantic-totalitarian lunacy of the best works by YAO
91404 D, e.g. "Heroes of the Coal Age" and "Key to
Abyss".
Love-poetry of soviet-era, disco-songs, accompanied by a captured
metal impress, soviet-era variety art, rough and rigid feedbacks,
concorporated into percussive ritual noise loops and abrasive distorted
tapes emerge monumental piece of art.
Price: 8 euro Format: CD-r
Edition: 100 copies.

ADRIVA Cold Sea Week
AB-43
Project of Denis from formations of SUNCHARIOT, ENMERKAR and MATTER
shows a little more experimental Drone Ambient than the one he performs
in his main project, SUNCHARIOT.
The album is dedicated to the author's sojourn on the shores of Black
Sea in winter. Slack, congealed soundwaves crystallize in the air
and gently descend on eyelids and shoulders, immersing one in eternal
slumber of Suspense. Floating spectres of drowned fishermen, call-signs
of ultramundane submarines, icefloes that ram Eternity, chasm of scalding
coldness and pitch-darkness.
Price: 8 euro Format: CD-r
Edition: 100 copies.

AB-42
A project of a sculptor and an ethnographer Denis Shapovalov from
the city of Rostov-on-Don, who is also the one and the only member
of ADRIVA, ENMERKAR and MATTER. "Fictio" calls to self-dependent
comprehension of forms by sublimation of clods of clay and granite
monoliths with alchemy of archaic Drone Ambient, giving birth to resonances
and fluctuations of Time. As deep stone strata that move by one millimetre
in a thousand years, humming and drifting drones spread over the body,
moving away all the vanity and fuss.
The release consists of two 35+ minutes parts, one of which was released
as the same-named CDr on Observatory recordsin an edition of 40 copies.
Price: 8 euro Format: CD-r
Edition: 100 copies.

REMOTEBAND [untitled]
AB-36
Moscow project with a short but rich history. The only person standing behind REMOTEBAND
began his experiments with sound as REMOTE and created mindblowing Harsh Noise and some bizarre electroacoustics.
In that short period there were some performances with Nikita Golyshev of CD-r. It's a pity but we think
there is not a single chance to listen to any recordings from that period though those were really fascinating.
In some time the musician became interested in softer kinds of electronic music, changed his name to REMOTEBAND
and gave a few concerts in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg charming audiences with Space Drone Ambient/Noise.
We offer six tracks from the latest period of REMOTEBAND art. Guitar, voice, analogue synthesizers, lots of effects,
various pre-recorded samples. All these means of soundexpression very smoothly, skilfully and gently interlace into
thick and rich intellectual Drone Ambient with some noisy touch and futuristic moods.
Price: 8 euro Format: CD-r
Edition: 100 copies in a cardboard sleeve.
