Dear Friends:
Now THIS is what I call a press release! ["Coloration" of the text all mine]
Anyhow, here’s something arty and deliberately unpleasant that couldn’t have existed under Communism, though I’m not entirely sure it’s a "good" thing! LOL
Just arrived outta the blue in today’s e-mail. [I must have ordered something on-line that got me onto their e-commercial "radar"!]
Anyhow, enjoy the Post-Soviet, Post-Industrial cyber hyperbole. Or "Record Collector Porn", as you prefer!
I find it all bizarrely poetic, myself.
I’m just sorry we can’t tour Montana with these bands and a reunited Ein Heit!
– Tom Kipp
P.S. I confess to being VERY tempted by the Reductio Ad Absurdum cd-r….after all, you only live/die once!
P.P.S. I really admire a firm that leads with the "Unsubscribe" message!

Dear friends,
Hot and humid summer days are not the way to keep us away from proceeding with label activities. And we would like to introduce some of our latest releases through ABGVRD andROKOT as well as a new subdivision called SILPHIDAE that will be doing reissues of some archive and sold-out limited Noise/Industrial releases from the past. Feel free to contact with any questions or inquiries.
New! REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM Live in Cyberfeminclub CD-r
REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM was one of the first Industrial projects that appeared in Russia in 1994. It existed till the end of 1990s and recorded a dozen of monotonous evil Industrial albums in the vein of M.B., LILLE ROGER, MURDER CORPORATION. Those bore excruciating aesthetics of Soviet rot and necroconformism. After the project ceased to exist its leader, Kirill Stukalin, has continued to work under his own name as well as the ORGANOMEHANIZM project.
The release contains recording of the live performance in the Cyberfeminclub that had been a lesbian assembly point before it turned to GEZ-21 club that is now known as an Industrial mecca in Saint-Petersburg. Extempore program consists of sharp noise statics, bass throbs, sudden feedbacks, space stuttering and romantic grain alcohol stupor.
A reissue of the CD-r released by Black Dead Rabbit in the beginning of the century.
New! REDHOUSE Aggressory CD-r
REDHOUSE is a Noise/Power Electronics project of [S] of EXIT IN GREY/SISTER LOOLOMIE. It was recorded in 2002 and never planned for a release but inconsistently released as a 10 copies private edition in 2003. All the sounds are improvised voicenoise performance. The concept of the album is alchemic Magnum Opus. Work in Black, White and Red with the sound as the Materia Prima:
Intro – abrasive wheeze, drowning howling, high-pitched squeal
Nigredo–heavy wrecking tread of noise structures with "orchestral" crescendo
Albedo–non-aggressive necrotic noises intergrowing in ritual oppressive rhythm
Rubedo – raw and impetuous semi-harsh and semi-sick noise Aggressory – 20 minutes of thick mangling noise in the vein of THE RITA, PARANOID TIME and THE CHERRY POINT
New! KOMATOSERZUSTAND Koma CD-r
Russian project that was active in 2004 along with FUNKSTILLESENDER project and ceased in Spring of 2005 after a presumptive death of the artist.
The only goal of komatoserzustand was a research of coma. The album is the first result of the quest: profound low-pitched drone, long and monotonous linear humdream. The project was induced by the author’s dichlorvos intoxication and following coma.
New! KORPERSCHWACHE A Host of Bad Vibes CD-r
Texas duo with an album recorded in 2009. Six tracks of contemplative, melancholic mid-tempo Blackened Droning Shoegaze. Trance-like drum-machine, mocking melodies, repetitive guitar riffage, some guitar-based Drones.
Despite all the darkness of the project, the music leads in the world of vivid weird dreams that are hard and heavy as a tombstone while leave you a sort of bright enlightenment.
To be released in the future:
