Artist : ADN' Ckrystall
Label : Ysil' Prod
private archives 1 : new-wave hits 85-86-87 / LP
New ADN' Ckrystall material with 6 tracks, all unreleased (2 in a different version to the Kernkrach 7") from 1985 to 1987. Following 'Jazz' Mad' (1981 to 1983), 'In-Edit' (1984), ADN' Ckrystall change to ADN' with the following line-up, in mid-1985: David Gillmann on bass guitar, Jane Caresse on vocals & tambourine (until 1986, remplaced by Do in 1987), Tibo Tornabene on simmons drums, joined by Olivier Espero on sax. The tracks presented here were recorded on a simple tape-recorder put on the floor, in order for us to have a real exact idea of what were ADN's lives and rehearsals. There's also a bonus track "Ah La La !", with Tushna Pirongelli (aka Nina Belief) on vocals & synth. Limited edition of 180 signed & handnumbered copies including hand-made and painted cover, 10 pages insert full of photos & press' announces, flyers.. Beautiful work, as usual ;)


Artist : Alone
Label : Echoplay
an unread note / 7"
Alone is the project of Nikola Vitkovic from Serbia, who is also known for his project Ilegalne Emocije. Alone was founded in 1994 and is active in the wide fields of (dark) electronic music. The project released a fantastic LP on our Treue um Treue in 2009. These 2 tracks here are taken from the CD-r album 'Spomenik Neznanom Umetniku', which was released in a very small edition in 2010. The music is heavily inspired by early 80's electro-wave and synth-pop and has a certain OMD-feeling (but with totally different singing). It is perfect for everyone who likes early Depeche Mode, B.Movie, Images In Vogue, Secession and bands like these. Try it !!


Artist : ANTI...
Label : Eirkti
untitled / LP
Quite probably there hasn't existed any other group within the Greek underground scene that represented the synth-punk genre better than Anti... In fact, considering the band's uniquely performed sound-delirium as well as its straightforward anarchistic and generally rebellious versification, we would argue that it's unfortunate (though their members would consider it as fortunate) that Anti... has heretofore been unknown to the wide public and consequently, not regarded as one of the finest exemplars of minimalistic electronic punk in the international scene. Formed in 1981, Anti... presented their work for the 1st time in 1985, playing live in Pegasus (a well-known Athenian musical stage). The band, composed of 3 members (2 synthesizers & a bass) and a drum machine, performed an innovative mixture of punk and electronic music accompanied by corresponding socially, economically, politically and culturally wakeful lines. It was this idiosyncratic combination of a frantic sound performance and lyrics seething with an absolute rebellion ranging from the purely adolescent to the desperately mature plus the use of the Greek language rather than a foreign one, which reserved a special place for the group within the Greek underground music firmament. Anti... released 2 self-produced cassettes, a split album and participated in some compilations. Apparently, it needed 25 long years since the appearance of their original work (1986) until a full-work of the band could be released in vinyl. Basically, here is the re-release of Anti's 1st tape and the previously unreleased track "Last Beer" which was kept in the group's archive patiently waiting to see the light of day for more than 2 decades. All in all, 11 arousing compositions of a straightforward electronic punk idiom properly dressed with informative, remindful and overall riotous words. The only thing left now is to live this musical experience (limited to 500 numbered vinyl copies) hoping that you will enjoy it as strongly as we do ;)


Artist : Arpanet
Label : Record Makers
reference frame / 12"
Arpanet drops 4 tracks of Kraftwerkian melodics and machine beats direct from the Dataphysix labs. We're not quite sure what the concept is here (previous ideas have centred around wireless communications, the advancement of the internet and biometric identification) but the sounds are textbook Arpanet/Dopplereffekt, less fractured than his Rephlex output. "Infinite Density" revolves around a languid square bass and electro rhythm with a cold robotic glaze. The rigid wonk of "No Boundry Condition" accelerates to an Ultradyne level of dystopia before the 2 versions of "Event Horizon" (instru. & vox) decrease to sludgy currents of machine information with spooked out accompaniment. A thoroughly squashed package; Very good indeed ;)


Artist : Art Fact
Label : Dödsdans Rekords
and the seasons changed / 2x12"
Art Fact played their own kind of synth-pop, but always sad and dark; but always with a nice melody. Famous from the legendary 'Memento Materia' collections 'Illuminative' & 'Autumn Leaves'. And also from the CD edition of 'Hidden Tapes' (released on Minimal Wave) collection! This is a collection of tracks taken from their 3 cassettes: 'In Fact', 'Nowadays' & 'The Nuclear Princess'. One of the massive album of 2012 in a limited handnumbered edition of 300 copies ;) ;)



Artist : Beograd
Label : Anna Logue Records
t.v. / 7"
Beograd was an electronic pop outfit founded by Dejan Stanisavljevic along with Aleksandar Rodic & Lubodrag Bubalo in Belgrade, Serbia. In 1982 they released their one & only 7" single, the classic and highly sought-after minimal electro smasher "T.V. / Sanjas Li U Boji?", with its wonderful Roland CR-78 drum machine, manually played bass synth and high note sequences, lovely harmonies and Serbian vocals. Then in 1983, their only LP 'Remek Depo' was released. Anna Logue Records has now put together a nice 7"ep including both the original 7" tracks plus the superior track from the album "Mrak", as well as 2 very rough and pretty horrible sounding short instrumental demo recordings of "T.V." and "Mrak', included here for the sakes of obscurity, rareness and fun. Definitely a must-have for all into minimal electro, synth-wave, coldwave or whatever you wanna call it. Limited black vinyl edition including UV varnished sleeve & double-sided postcard with lyrics (both Serbian & English)..



Artist : Chris Carter
Label : Optimo Music
moonlight / 12"
Following last year's essential 'The Space Between' reissue, Optimo Music delves again into the spotless back catalogue of Throbbing Gristle's Chris Carter and gives 'Moonlight', originally found on 1985's 'Mondo Beat' LP, a remastered 12" pressing. This synth-wave whip-cracker is a bit of an underground dance classic already - a bootleg version was caned by Belgian new-beat and Italian cosmic djs back in day; but this is really the definitive edition, cut nice and loud for eternal club impact. Neurotic Drum Band tease out the dark italo energy of the source material - but it's the immensely addictive and forward-thinking original that just completely destroys us every time. An absolutely essential 12" !


Artist : Conrad Schnitzler
Label : M=minimal
ballet statique / LP
Peerless electronic masterpiece reissued on vinyl. Probably better known under its original title of Con, 'Ballet Statique' was released on an unsuspecting world in 1978. Coming after Schnitzler's searching 'Colour' series, it's one of his most perfectly realized and futureproof recordings, beautifully poised and ultra-minimalist in execution but wildly psychedelic in scope and implication. You can hear its influence on Chris Carter's recently revived 'The Space Between', with stately, repetitive analogue melodies suspended in a spacious, multi-directional sound design simply unbelievable for the era. This album is overwhelmingly beautiful, an-astro utopian reverie that Cluster, Monoton or even Kraftwerk would be proud to call their own. From Carlos Giffoni to Carl Craig, Mute to Minimal Wave, the DNA of this album can be found in virtually all adventurous electronic music that has followed in its wake. If you don't know, get to know. Essential!




Artist : Die Selektion
Label : Fabrika Records
untitled / LP
In winter 2010, 3 young musicians calling their band Die Selektion, were rehearsing their new songs somewhere in Stuttgart. By that time, they would not have imagined that, just one year later Fabrika Records would release their 1st self-titled work in a limited edition of 300 copies. Combining dynamic vocals, melodic trumpets and dark dance synths, they fire-up their fanatic audience..


Artist : Doris Norton
Label : Black Widow Records
raptus / LP
Doris Norton (pioneer in the early electronic/computer music) began her musical carrer playing avant-garde and progressive music. In december 1980 she recorded, at the Fontana Studio 7 (Milan), her first solo album entitled 'Under Ground'. Sponsored by Apple computer and the Roland Corporation music institut, she was more involved in experimental electro computerized music and recorded the albums 'Parapsycho' (1981), 'Raptus' (1981), 'Nortoncomputerforpeace' (1983), 'Personal Computer' (1984), 'Artificial Intellingence' (1985). In 1986 she became an official consultant for IBM Computer Music, she was involved in experimental electro computerized music and recorded, after 'Parapsycho' (1981), in the same year 'Raptus' with the help of Antonius Rex, Lorenz Schulze and Tullio De Piscopo. This is the 30th anniversary reissue edition. Doris Norton is really an Italian icon of experimental electronic music... A sort of Klaus Schulze in Italian land. Must-Have!!


Artist : Gladio
Label : Bunker
slave of rome / 12"
Repressed! Available for the 1st time since 2003! Raw and rocking Chicago-like 6 tracker.. One of the craziest and most cult side projects from Legowelt. Do not miss this one ;)


Artist : Grackle
Label : Supersoul
desert acid ep / 12"
After some ace releases for Legowelt's Strange Life label, Grackle visits Berlin's Supersoul imprint with 4 tracks of qualified deep disco. Musiccargo gives "Desert Acid" an ace remix sounding a little like Talking Heads with extra synthbass, while his original version is a menacing club cut with shades of John Carpenter or Tangerine Dream. The Sombrero version adds cinematic touches of Balearic guitars and lapping rhythms, and Grackles original track "We Are It" trips out on a brilliant psyche-disco vibe. Great ep!



Artist : John Carpenter
Label : Record Makers
assault on precinct 13 / CD
Now available again on CD. John Carpenter's classic 1976 score is quite easily one of the most sought-after, sampled and inspirational soundtracks to have emerged from the independent cinema scene over the last 30 years. It's been sampled by everybody from Afrika Bambaataa to Bomb The Bass, I-f, Dead Prez and countless others. The CD book includes interviews with Carpenter and stills from the film. High demand is expected from musical history buffs and breaks-seekers alike – be quick and stay happy..


Artist : Kavinsky
Label : Record Makers
nightcall / 12"
The zombie strikes back with a new ep. After months of studio work on his forthcoming album, he & Record Makers have decided to release "Nightcall" as an apéritif. This is the 1st song Kavinsky provides vocals for, a duet you might say, featuring the zombie and his girlfriend, aka Lovefoxxx from CSS! The song was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and mixed by SebastiAn. The remix of this song, by a mysterious Dustin N'Guyen, is an outstanding pop song that everyone can enjoy. On the other side, Kavinsky has produced the fantastic "Pacific Coast Highway", in which we follow a ghostcar on the highway. The remix job is by French avant-garde producer Jackson. His epic 9 minute long version is unmissable... Limited edition with gatefold cover. Hit!!


Artist : Kinder Aus Asbest
Label : Dödsdans Rekords
inside / 12"
Some of the best tracks we've heard in 2011. Oldschool minimal-synth, nostalgic but with a glimpse of the future. Limited handnumbered edition of 300 copies..!


Artist : Kord / Adolf Filter / Monster Apparat
Label : Enfant Terrible
svensk bonnasynth / 12"
'Svensk Bonnasynth' basically says it all.. This is Swedish electronic hillbilly music! The musicians involved in Adolf Filter, Kord & Monster Apparat have a long tradition in producing electronic music and have been active in the Swedish music world for years. With this record they serve us roots music coming from analogue synths. Traditional & conservative electro and synth music, but effective as it can get! Produced especially for an Enfant Terrible label night where all 3 bands performed live. The tape was given away for free to the visitors of the night only. Limited to 300 copies only !


Artist : Logic System
Label : Endless Flight

Artist : Passion Polka
Label : Anna Logue Records
obsessions ep / 12"
Passion Polka was an electronic pop outfit founded by Steve Cottier & Keith Leary in Liverpool, presenting here 4 classic analogue electro-pop tracks from 1982-1983 in the vein of Camera Obscura, OMD or Oppenheimer Analysis, featuring the Roland TR-808 drum machine and a little armada of the usual synthesiser suspects made by ARP, Korg, Roland and Yamaha. They only released the impossible-to-find 'Obsession / Juliet' 7" single back in 1982 on their own Kinetic Rekords label. These tracks are now available again on Anna Logue Records' 1st 12" ever, remastered by Marc Senasac and with an addition of 2 beautiful and and previously unreleased 1983 tracks "Lying Next To You" and "Fighting Alone" which feature Siobhan Maher on backing vocals.

Artist : Perseus Traxx
Label : Bunker
untitled / 12"
Perseus Traxx - Vol. II: more of that authentic 80's Chicago deep house from Mr Nigel Rogers, get the hell out of that little Paxton, dude!!


Artist : Poème Electronique
Label : Attractive!
she's an image / 7"
Poème Electronique is Dave Hewson (synthesisers, production), Sharon Abbott (lyrics, lead and backing vocals), Julie Ruler (backing vocals), formed in 1980 in South London, UK. Dave was studying music and as a rare kind of student species he had a deep fascination for new-wave and electronic music thus also playing and recording electronic music ever since the late. For this latest 7" single release on the Attractive! label, Dave has remixed "She's An Image", which was originally featured on the album, here giving it a bit more 'drive' for optimal performance on the dancefloor. Lyrics-wise Sharon depicts how it felt like being a punk girl in the early 80's and the social problems arising from just trying to be different. On the flipside we find "Rubber Dollies", a previously unreleased track from their extensive early 80's archives that deals with sleazy sex shop/toys topics and comes along as a powerful electro-pop tune with a disco touch. Limited edition of 500 solid pink vinyl. Not to be missed!



Artist : Red Fetish
Label : Anna Logue Records
the future is now in your hands / 7"
Red Fetish was a minimal electronic pop outfit founded by Neale Potts & Mike Richardson from Stoke-On-Trent, UK, presenting here 4 classic minimal electronic synth-pop hits recorded back in 1982-1983 using a rather minimalistic set-up comprising a Korg KR-55, Korg 770, Korg SD-900 and Yamaha CS-10. This one little beauty is especially for those into a more raw and unpolished analogue synth sound in the vein of early Neon Judgement, Neural Circus, Spotch Forcey or Transparent Illusion. Limited edition in solid red vinyl, full colour UV varnished sleeve, full colour labels and double-sided postcard with lyrics and additional infos ;)


Artist : Red Violet Red
Label : Domestica
relaxed in upstate rain / LP
In the summer of 1985, soundengineer Gary Zeftig records Red Violet Red at Music America Studios. They self produce and record 8 songs on 24-track analog 2" tape. Game Hen presses 2 of the songs to 12" vinyl single. 300 records are released including "12 Miles Of Sky" & "Candy Cane". Each record cover is hand painted with a green photo sticker and hand-numbered. A basement flood at Game Hen destroys 50 records making the original 250 records harder to collect. The song "12 Miles Of Sky" charts high on many US college radio stations. One year later Red Violet Red breaks up for creative differences, right before a record deal was offered. In 1986 Jeff & Lyle form the cult collector dark-wave band Eleven Pond. Cedric joins the alt-rock band Claude Rains. Jerry goes back to his family's stone cutting business. 25 years later, a Brooklyn Dj discovers the Red Violet Red 12" single and is currently playing "12 Miles Of Sky" to the minimal synth dance crowds at Weird in NYC. In Spain, Domestica Records discovered these unreleased gems and made this album finally available, 26 years after they were recorded... Enjoy!




Artist : Screen Vinyl Image / Rude 66
Label : Custom Made Music
tomorrow is too far / I am god / 7"
The Screen Vinyl Image / Rude 66 split 7" takes dark industrial electro sounds and edgy Wax Trax / 4AD era guitars and pushes them to the outer limits; offering up a heavy dose of new-wave futurism. Screen Vinyl Image, well known for putting on raging guitar feedback shows, are also no strangers to electronic music, and their track "Tomorrow Is Too Far" is possibly the furthest the band has gone yet in the realm of analog machines and horror/sci-fi themes. Rude 66, one of the founders of The Hague acid sound, and who has released records with Bunker, Crème Organization, Viewlexx and more, brings us "I Am God", a march into darkness filled with stabbing basses, cold synths, edgy guitars and vocoder vocals by wife Shauna Lekx, delivered in calculated bloodlust and horror. Tip !!


Artist : Sendex
Label : Bunker
jams from the past / 12"
8 almost forgotten and previously unreleased deep house gems dug out from the vaults of Sendex, retro-master of the other classic warm brown house sound from Chicago's 80's!


Artist : Stranger Station
Label : Attractive!
cynthia / 7"
Stranger Station was Simon Driscoll (music, words, vocals) with some support from Judith Golberg & David Holecombe on studio and live synthesisers, all from the UK. With their debut 7" single "Minutes To Silence / Strangers", they released a masterpiece of the minimal electronics genre in 1981. Apart from that they only appeared with "Welcome To The Night" on the ultra-rare compilation LP 'Synthetic Romance' in 1982. Both vinyls have absolute cult status among collectors worldwide. Simon found 3 recordings from the 80's that featured 3 different singers. All those songs are very melancholic, very well played, very unique & beautiful. Something very special limited to 500 high quality white vinyl..
