Dead Voices On Air - 2009 - Fast Falls The Eventide (2 CD Limited Edition)

Release type: Full-length 

Style:  Noise/Dark Ambient/Experimental

Country:  Canada 

Label: Lens Records 

Format: MP3@VBR V2 

Size: 162 mb 

Official/Preview: MySpace

About Release:

Fast Falls The Eventide is aural provocateur Mark Spybey’s 11th album as Dead Voices On Air, and across a multi-decade career stirring pots experimental, existential, and otherwise, his is a sound that summons any number of nocturnal beasties from the ether. Blink twice, listen carelessly and you'll fail to discern the minutiae Spybey meticulously works into every one of the 15 pieces sprawling across the first disc of this 2-CD set’s eminent domain. Spybey works hard at his art so you don’t have to: rather, as the listener, the participant, the absorber, it’s more important to ignore categorical tags such as “industrial”, “ambient”, “soundscape”, et al, and instead gorge deeply on a wriggling, sometimes confrontational puzzlebox of sounds erupting from a bevy of mysterious sources. The title of this collection notwithstanding, Spybey’s been having his way with rhythm and noise for so long that the motifs he’s ascribed over the years are practically commonplace amongst the novice post-industrialist - or, hell, the post-whatever. Throughout the last 25-plus years, he’s plied his trade and remarkable sonic mojo both solo and in the company of many a forward-thinking electronic engineer, from guitarists such as Michael Karoli and James Plotkin, to fellow artisans like Skinny Puppy’s cEvin Key or Rapoon’s Robin Storey (with whom he feints sounds as Reformed Faction). It’s as Dead Voices On Air, however, that some of his most startling ideas emerge fully-realized and fully-armed; of course, to hear Spybey tell it, once art leaves the nest it’s up to (once again) the recipient to assume the role of engager: “My work is created in isolation from external references. That is the ideal I strive for. Only in this way is it possible to allow the listener an opportunity to create their own understanding of the music, or, as the artist Joseph Beuys once said, ‘One should resort to interpretation only in an emergency.’” Perhaps. Still, there’s much expressive bounty to be gleaned from these dark, dusky, evening-soaked works, from the first disc’s mix of ethnological drum cabals, windswept electronics and scraped edits, up through the immense near-quarter-hour title track, which finds Spybey revisiting the mortal atmospheric coils of former colleagues :Zoviet*France:. And pulling the whole enterprise together is the second disc’s first-time digital unveiling of Spybey’s opening salvo, the 1994 cassette Abrader, in conjunction with two unreleased tracks originating from the artist’s early gestations featuring contributions from the aforementioned cEvin Key. New or old, Spybey’s continuing vitality ensures these Dead Voices remain gloriously alive and kicking. Fast Falls The Eventide is a two CD set featuring the all new recording Fast Falls The Eventide on Disc 1. Disc 2 features the long out of print first release by Dead Voices On Air - Abrader - originally released in 1994 on cassette by Japan's G.R.O.S.S. label. This digitally remastered version of Abrader features two previously unreleased tracks featuring cEvin Key. Abrader and the two bonus tracks are only available on this CD release.    Packaging: 2xCD w/6-panel insert in jewel case featuring artwork by Mark Spybey    Release Date: September 15, 2009    Running Time: Disc 1 - 60:22, Disc 2 - 53:54

Rapoon - 2009 - Melancholic Songs Of The Desert

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Dark Ambient 

Country: United Kingdom  

Label: Soleilmoon Recordings 

Format:MP3@VBR V2

Size: 80 mb 

Official/Preview: MySpace

About Release:

The Melancholic songs of the desert... These songs were composed during the last days of the Bush/Blair era and reflect the feeling of isolation and disconnection from any part of the political process and any sense of identification with the prevailing air of hos- tility and intolerance generated by this pair of religious xenophobes. The unjustified war in Iraq and the subse- quent lies and propaganda engendered a feeling of revulsion and powerlessness. Once again it was “unpa- triotic” to criticize or protest against the government’s actions, and there was a rise in nationalism and extrem- ist views. These songs are a retreat into the one place that no government has yet found a way into, the free and open spaces of the mind. They are spontaneous and mediative reflections looking for an inner peace in a world made ugly by hatred and war. They symbolize a kind of “walkabout” and a reconnection with a lost sense of belonging spiritually, intellectually and physically with the world we inhabit. In a broad- er sense they also re-affirm long held sympathies with the thoughts of writers and philosophers such as Camus, Sartre and Burroughs, and the profound wisdom of eastern philosophies such as Taoism and Zen. The music here looks for a sense of inner being that one can only find in quiet isolation

About Release:

"Maninkari is an instrumentalist duo combining different ways of improvisation and composition related to ambient, dark & minimalist music, jazz and surreal. The music of Maninkari lives in medieval alchemy, this album works primarily on a research for atmosphere. Dark and repetitive music, mixtures of drum, viola and santoor and looking for a mystic paroxysm. These songs were originally intended to be released as a sideproject under the Ephemerole banner but as time grew it became the next Maninkari album."

Roses Never Fade - 2009 - Roses Never Fade

Release type: Full-length 

Style: Apocalyptic Folk

Country:  Australia/China/Germany/USA/Belgium

Label:  Neuropa Records 

Format: MP3@VBR V2 

Size:  61 mb 

Official/Preview: MySpace

About Release:

"Roses Never Fade is a multi-national folk-noir project spearheaded by Dwid Hellion (Integrity). Their debut was released in 2006 on Rock Vegas Records and has in the meantime sold-out. The album was mainly distributed through channels close to the hardcore/metal scene. Neuropa Records is proud to reissue the album with the tracks from a limited 7" ep as an added bonus, and as such to introduce Roses Never Fade to the more folk-oriented audience. Roses Never Fade accompanies the listener on a nightmarish excursion through 15 chilling tomes. Driven by a core of lushly layered acoustic guitars that swell to and fro while creating a cavernous wail that envelops the half whispered vocal textures. For fans of Integrity, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Tom Waits. Isn't it a bit sad when you find yourself celebrating the vvisdom and songs of a band that is only a little bit less boring that the myriads of phoney bands these days? It is sad yet in a world where rebellion has become just another gimmick, Roses Never Fade's antagonistic streak is refreshing. Roses Never Fade has always done everything at their disposal to avoid labeling what they do, or to avoid being labeled  themselves. To be beyond any existing classification has always pleased them. Unfortunately, they had to learn over the years that when one refuses to be categorized, there's a world full of people (all entirely less well qualified) who are only too eager to pigeonhole what you do or think. That the pigeonholing is generally more a reflection of what they think, or assume, is fairly obvious. The will to label will always prevail over what's being labeled, usually at the expense of either truth or understanding. Roses Never Fade's views might be highly unfashionable, but to them they are fairly consistent with what they have seen to be true. If others choose to see the world in terms of black and white, that's certainly their prerogative, and Roses Never Fade would never dream of trying to tell them otherwise. However, they might suggest that they always keep a loaded pistol on the off chance that they could possibly be mistaken."

Label: Glacial Movements Records

Format: MP3@CBR 224 Kbps

Size:  96 mb

About Release: 

"One of the predicted swings in the weather due to global warming is paradoxically a new ice age which could envelope Europe. Time Frost is music based upon this concept and uses tiny fragments of music from an iconic European composition, Johann Strauss's Blue Danube. I imagined that tiny pieces of former cultures survived locked in the ice and waiting for future archaeologists to discover and interpret them.I used vinyl lock grooves of the Blue Danube (from the 1968 MGM recording for the film soundtrack 2001 ) These formed the starting points for the five compositions in Time Frost which were then manipulated and added to and re-arranged into new compositions. Time Frost is an imaginary recording of the mutational process of sound locked into ice and transformed over millenia. Like ghosts of music trapped in an evershifting permafrost.

Aeterna - 2009 - New Dawn

Release type:  Full-length 

Style:  Apocalyptic Folk 

Country:  Germany

Label: Cold Meat Industry 

Format:  MP3@VBR V2 

Size:  56 mb 

About Release:

 Awake the New Dawn! Aeterna is a new apocalyptic folk outfit from Germany, born in 2007. In the beginning it was intended to be the strictly personal musical outlet for founding member Birthe Klementowski, well-known from her artwork for Cold Meat Industry's Desiderii Marginis, :Golgatha: and Dawn & Dusk Entwined, but the dynamics between Alpha and Omega brought forth something new. The dark and brooding atmospheres invoke the mood of decline and decay, a direct resemblance to the artist's photography. The album 'New Dawn' ultimately presents 11 songs about the decline and rebirth of culture. Aeterna does not serve ideological pattern but presents the musical and visual output as an inspiration for the audience. Death is always the beginning of a new circle. Out of hopelessness arises a New Dawn. As the earth faces the end of resources and the destruction of nature, the loss of spiritual values and the total virtualisation of the all-day life, mankind experiences a self made inferno. We have to turn and find new waysà Aeterna is a prayer for these new ways. For new spiritual values to ignite the fire of enlightenment once more. To create something new out of the old roots. The Old Gods eventually may not return, but the Eternal Principle is still there.             The music of Aeterna is based on ritualistic and shamanistic structures, mainly acoustic sounds, and invoking chants û all based on the dualistic principle of male and female energy û Alpha & Omega. Aeterna is a trans-modern, neo-shamanistic,       animistic art project. A Luciferian hymnus to awake the New Dawn...                                                                 Images and Artwork: Birthe Klementowski                          www.birthe-klementowski.de

Bad Sector - 2009 - CMASA

Release type: Full-length

Style: Dark Ambient/Industrial 

Country:  Italy 

Label:  Power & Steel

Format:  MP3@VBR V2 

Size: 55 mb 

About Release:

 In 2005 Massimo Magrini was invited to provide a soundtrack for the M3M art exhibition in Pisa/Italy. The exhibition was based around images of the seaside and the rivers estuary of Pisana area with CMASA airplane factory built there in its centre vis a vis of archaic marine cottages. This marvelous seaside scenery mixed with vintage industrial locations, together with some kind of nostalgia, created an unexpected but amazing mood. To sculpture a soundtrack of this scenery Massimo Magrini was asked to use acoustic and natural sounds too and so he added for this work treated piano and snippets of acoustic guitars together with water sounds and metal samples. This may sound unusual for a BAD SECTOR release but all those new elements are perfectly blent into the massive and ambient soundwaves for what previous releases are known for and making CMASA an emotional album as the previous ones .All initial exhibition sounds where regenerated, remastered and re-assembled during 2007-2009
