Review: New York City techno veteran Adam X returns to Long Island Electrical Systems under the ADMX71 alias, where he once again explores the outer fringes of experimental electronics on his latest LP The Aging Process, existing at the intersection of industrial, EBM and techno. Beginning with the contorted noise soundscape of 'Speaking Via Telepathy' he soon unleashes the seething brain bash of 'Sensor-Tised' followed by the strobing tunnel vision of 'Walking Through Walls'. Elsewhere, there's more dystopian themes aplenty as heard on the static TBM pulse of 'They've Instilled Fear In Us', or the pitch black war funk of 'Leading The Way' and the muscular slow burner 'Leading The Way'.

Review: This cryptic debut from Belgian AIR LQD mixes up science fiction, social criticism and punk ethics into a futuristic sound world where urban decay and artificial intelligence have really taken hold. The brittle, icy electronics of these tracks reminds of Kassem Mosse's experimental lo-fi house work on Workshop. "Repeat Itself" is interspersed with dehumanised voices from a darkened dungeon and leads to some brilliantly unsettling sounds. Abrasive textures rub up next to looping echoes, crashing metal hits and rubbery bass. Though wholly unnatural, paranoid and occult, it all feels so damn right.

The Castle II (gatefold 2xLP in embossed sleeve)
Cat: MEC 055. Rel: 19 Feb 24
Review: Who, or perhaps what, was Tomo Akikawabaya? In truth, nobody really seems to sure on the answer, other than the fact this mysterious Japanese artists decided to release a serious of incredible synth-driven singles during the 1980s, before vanishing back into the dry ice of whatever smoke machine they escaped from. A musical genie, here only to bestow a limited number of gems on us, and then disappear forever. Swerving interviews and photos doesn't help the search, but The Castle II at least allows us to explore his work in depth, across several tracks. These range from the twisted cabaret weirds of 'Objet D'Amour', to the driving electro-punk of 'Le Voleur', grand and decidedly 1980s-sounding synth rock on 'The April', and New Romantic-esque pop on The Castle (II). Essential stuff.

Review: Originally out as an eight-pronged cassette release, Alberich's Nato Uniformen has been stripped down to a nineteen-track vinyl release by the incorrigible Hospital Productions, Vatican Shadow's very own playground of doom and gloom. We don't like to overuse the word "conceptual", but with this double LP, it truly applies...and in the best of ways! Both the artwork and the title name fit so perfectly with the overall sense of dread brought out by the music's desolate, grey-scale soundscapes and swirls of power electronics. There's no way that we can go through all of it for you in words, but the best way to describe it is simply as 'sonic warfare'. Stripped beats, cavernous drones and menacing bursts of hardware make this one of the most singular of Hospital's releases in a good while. For fans of Maurizio Bianchi and Sacher-Pelz. Don't miss it.

Review: Journalist turned producer Chris Alexander is something of a hive-mind of information when it comes to obscure horror film music, so it's perhaps unsurprising that his new album sounds like a pitch-perfect tribute to synthesizer-heavy, Italian "Giallo" soundtracks, and the horror-disco style perfected by John Carpenter. It's made up of tracks Alexander wrote and released - usually via obscure, CD-R only labels - over the last decade. More importantly, Murder Music is actually rather good, with Alexander offering a perfect balance between clandestine synthesizer motifs, panicked beats, clanking industrial textures, hypnotic guitar lines, and chords that seem to creep up from behind.

Review: Australia's Oren Ambarchi has seen something of a revival as of late, and it's no surprise given both his sheer talent as an expert purveyor of experimental music and his outstanding curriculum vitae. With releases on mythical labels such as Touch and Editions Mego, it was only a matter of time before he'd pop up on Bill Kouligas's wonderfully diverse PAN imprint. Live Knots is an LP consisting of three long jams, a gorgeous journey into the multi-talented mind of Ambarchi, who offers a little bit of everything - raucous guitar riffs, free-jazz drumming, drone-infested backdrops of sound and even some remnants of hardcore. We know that we say this quite often, but this is another stellar PAN release, and quite possibly one of Ambarchi's best in a long while. Tip!

Review: Gibby Miller's Dais Records reissue Annie Anxiety's Soul Possession on vinyl for the first time in over 30 years. In the late 1970's, one woman named Annie Bandez thrust herself into the downtown scene with her punk ensemble Annie and the Asexuals, establishing her nom de plume Annie Anxiety. In the summer of 1983, with the help of legendary dub producer Adrian Sherwood, she began work on what would be her first full length which consolidated all of her creative assets at that time. Features members of Crass, Family Fodder and African Head Charge among others. A seminal dub/industrial masterpiece and featuring the original artwork by Eve Libertine. Limited to 500 copies (400 black vinyl / 100 brown vinyl).

Review: We've been waiting for this beauty to arrive since we first heard the news of its vinyl reissue through The Death Of Rave. Theo Burt's Summer Mix is possibly one of the most original and daring electronic LP's of the last five years. Using something called a Fourier transform, Burt mutated commercial dance hits into minimal, tripping and subby 4/4 sketches. We've been told this works by stripping 50% of the content and remoulding it by placing similar tones next to each other. Music by the likes of Deadmau5, Paul Van Dyk, Eric Prydz and even Swedish House Mafia is all in there but torn apart and sculpted into something more similar to the Chain Reaction output thanks to the long flurries of delay. This is a special album for the special kind of ear. Moreover, it's what the underground represents: musical freedom and total experimentation.

Review: Kris Baha has been on a serious roll over the past few years, notching up releases on Bahnsteig 23, Pinkman and many more besides. Now feels like the right time for him to drop an album, and where better to do such a thing than Cocktail D'Amore? The Berlin-via-Melbourne producer's sound comes through loud and clear - minimal wave and industrial influences abound, executed with ferocity and flamboyance in equal measure to create a many-shaded set of deviant dance bangers. "Living Nothingness" is the ultimate nihilistic beatdown, "Steel Sands" channels early Nine Inch Nails to perfection, and "Defied" has a propulsive thrust that would make Al Jourgensen proud. Baha wears his influences on his sleeve, and why not? They're great influences that he creates stunning music with.

Review: As the man behind the Opal Tapes label, Stephen Bishop has been responsible for curating some of the most interesting experimental music of the past few years, but as Basic House he is also responsible for putting out his own productions, with LP-length cassettes on Opal Tapes, Washy Tapes and Digitalis in recent years. Oats sees him arrive on Alter, the label run by Luke 'Helm' Younger. Oats is an LP which more than fits in with the dark, subdued and grainy aesthetic Younger has been developing over the past few years, with the scuffed kicks, haunting tones and sluggish percussion of tracks like "AR II" and "Child Confession" and the paranoid musique concrete of "Interiors" and "Eat Oan" marking out Bishop as someone whose musical vision seems to be maturing with experience.

Review: Stepping away from his Morphosis moniker to indulge in some wild folk stylings under his given name, Rabih Beaini imbues his latest album with a rallying combination of raw, abrasive analogue synthesis and sprawling, free-jazz informed instrumentation. There's rarely a comforting moment in amongst the dense, leftfield constructions, although the haunting Eastern lilt that has always lingered in Beaini's work is ever-present here. Laying his virtuoso cards on the table, the artist sheds away any barriers or constrictions and delivers a searching and startling collection of compositions for the more adventurous souls out there.

Traditional Music Of Notional Species Vol 1 (140 gram vinyl LP)
Cat: PAN 34. Rel: 08 Aug 13
Review: As one of the world's more renowned mastering engineers at Dubplates & Mastering in Berlin, Rashad Becker is making that rare leap from post-production back down the signal chain to deliver this long player for PAN. It's an apt destination for the sounds contained within, as Becker twists and contorts a satisfying spread of noises from the ominous to the humourous, wielding a fearsome grasp of sound design and achieving a staggering depth of detail in the lurid netherworld his music creates. There's musicality locked into the fluttering pitches of his devices, whether they might be real world instruments mutated via digital means, or 1s and 0s kneaded into organic matter. Either way Becker's take on noise will grab you by the ears and drag you down into the audible mulch with glee.

Review: We're starved for two-sided 12"s in the world of ambient music, but Chris Madak aka. Bee Mask has refreshingly graced us with one this week. It should be said that there's Skee Mask and then there's Bee Mask; the latter is far more unsung, undeservingly so. Madak's music is abstract and cerebral enough to have lent him credo enough to have released on the likes of Weird Forest, Spectrum Spools and Room40. But this latest reissue, 'Versailles Is Not Too Large Or Infinity Too Long', hears him plunge the ethereal heights for the US label Unifactor. Originally released on cassette on Chondritic Sound in 2008, these pieces deserve the renewed attention and the fresh laying to wax, since they're not 'regular ole' ambient cuts in the slightest. Unafraid of indulging the high end freqs, Bee Mask fleshes out a mood of uncertain, urgent bliss - sizzling, crunching and soaring the drone, as if its maker were a modern Icarus flying too close to the sun.

Review: The belated release of New York industrial ambient crew Black Rain's early '90s soundtrack work in 2011 sparked something in founder Stuart Argabright. It inspired a belated return to the studio and this surprise album, Black Rain's first for 18 years. Given how long they've been away, Dark Pool is a pleasingly accomplished set. Like their previous material, it wades in dark waters, joining the dots between droning electronic textures, skittish, IDM-inspired rhythms, horror chic, industrial noise and bleak electronica. It's hugely atmospheric, of course, but also strangely claustrophobic. It's a brilliant set, all told, but one that shouldn't be taken lightly.

Review: Black Tears marks just the latest chapter in a long and productive history between Italian pair Giorgio Gigli and Francesco Baudazzi. Between 2009 and 2012, the pair were responsible for overseeing a wealth of deep techno on their Zooloft label, including many of their own 12"s (with Baudazzi working under the name Obtane). Recent times have seen Baudazzi re-emerge as Violet Poison, presenting a more esoteric and undeniably darker side of his productions and this evidently feeds into his Black Tears project with Gigli. Across the 11 tracks, the duo pull you through a crepuscular assortment of noise, harsh techno and industrial music with post-punk overtones. One for the dark rooms on the rainy weekends!

Review: Low Jack and Jean Carvel's Editions Gravats touches down with its third outing and it's a full-length from High Wolf in his Black Zone Myth Chant moniker, so expect nothing but trippy, roaring bursts of experimental dancefloor psychedelia. The LP contains something inherently ancient in its tone and yet manages to break through the usual drone format with utter ease. Tracks like "In The Arms Of The Parcae", for instance, compare old and new times, the acoustic with the processed and the results are simply stunning on the eardrums. There are also definite traces of jungle throughout, an element which doesn't seem to come from a UK heritage but rather a tribal dance to the sun gods. Essential electronic quality, not to be missed.

In Ferneaux (magenta vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: SBR 267LPC1. Rel: 26 Feb 21
Review: Let's face facts, there's pretty much always something haunting about the appropriately named moniker of British electronic soloist Blanck Mass, AKA Benjamin John Power. Carving out a unique corner of noise that combines elements of gothic synth, coldwave, industrial, math rock and classical sci-fi, In Ferneaux opens the scoring with a track that's arguably the most Blanck Mass of all time - 'Phase I'; a spellbinding, fantastical, arpeggiated keyboard exhibition that belongs in a cathedral of electronica.
'Phase II', the adjoining track, gives its predecessor a run for that money, mind. Bringing white noise to the fore, but creating a real sense of depth and atmosphere by way of a background sonic jumble, if part one was a display of staggering musicality by way of cascading organs, the second firmly stakes its claim in the idea that Mr Mass is at his best when presenting that which defies definition.

Review: Berlin label Mannequin are pretty untouchable right now in their quest to document some of the forgotten corners of music past, with their latest focus a truly indepth exposition of crucial '80s industrial band Bourbonese Qualk. One of those retrospectives that will please staunch fans and inquisitive newcomers alike, the self explanatory Bourbonese Qualk 1983-1987 focuses on the Southport band's highly productive mid '80s period with some 26 tracks to digest across the two slabs of vinyl. If you are not familiar with the band's music what becomes most striking listening to this collection is how much of a clear influence they've had on later music developments with the makings of techno quite apparent in some places. A real grubby delight to get lost in, this one.

Laughing Afternoon (140 gram vinyl LP)

Review: Shape-shifting post-punk quasi-legends Bourbonese Qualk are finally getting a bit of the shine they so richly deserve after years in obscurity, not least thanks to the retrospective compilation on Mannequin back in 2015. Now Platform 23 are reissuing their classic album "Laughing Afternoon", originally released back in 1983 and having lost none of its impact. It's a slippery, shape-shifting creation that veers between uneasy soundscapes and gutter-dwelling funk, with some truly visionary signal processing, electronic textures and more besides in the mix. It's a crime this crew aren't held in the same regard as their other early 80s post-industrial peers, but at least the wrongs are being righted now.

The Berlin native (known as Patrick Radomski to his Mum) has recently released on his other imprint Alien Rain and Henning Baer's K209 and Tragedy Of Truth stays on the same path of direct (yet cerebral) dancefloor oriented techno, as well as some experimental and ambient excursions too. Highlights include the reductionist acid madness of "Spiral Of Silence", the glacial and textured dub techno of "Poisoned By Sweet Things" and the tunnelling and hypnotic pre-peak time builder "Law Of Attraction".

Review: Broken English Club is the alias of techno veteran Oliver Ho and here he explores his signature industrial wave and post-punk sound with unflinching intensity as he lands on Dekmantel's UFO Series with Songs Of Love And Decay. It is a raw, brooding album dedicated to the late Juan Mendez aka Silent Servant with tracks like 'Crawling' and 'Death Cult' echoing his tribal techno roots. 'England Heretic' meanwhile channels eerie synthwave and Giallo vibes and 'Vessel Of Skin' delves into distortion-laced post-punk that contrasts with the stark futurism of 'Pacific Island Kill.' Ho blends cinematic textures with club energy throughout so makes for a dark, emotionally charged tribute that pushes beyond typical boundaries and is sure to resonate in the club.

Suburban Hunting (limited heavyweight coloured splattered vinyl 2xLP)

Review: It's been a delight to see Oliver Ho's Broken English Club project develop artistically over recent times, with some fine records for Jealous God and Veronica Vasicka's Cititrax label along the way. Suburban Hunting sees Ho deliver his debut Broken English Club album, featuring some 11 tracks of primitive electronics and cinematic pseudo techno cuts. Tunes like "Vacant", "Derelict", or "Scum" all share a loose techno framework, but the real aesthetic is much vaster than that, verging on remnants of post-punk, industrial and all that goodness and hybrid class that came out of the late 1980's. It's another fine addition to the sublime Cititrax discography, and we recommended it just as much as the previous numbers.

Review: Almost two years after the second volume landed in record stores, Oliver Ho AKA Broken English Club has finally delivered the third and final instalment in his White Rats trilogy of albums. In keeping with its predecessors, the album sees Ho exploring a mixture of politically charged ambient compositions, post-apocalyptic electronic soundscapes, mind-altering industrial grooves and gnarled, post-punk influenced workouts. As you'd expect given Ho's track record, the album sounds authentically dystopian, updating the Cold War era paranoia of early industrial music for a new century. Highlights include the acid-flecked industrial-electro number 'Alone In The Hunt', the strobe-lit EBM heaviness of 'The Kill', the creepy ambience of 'The Burned The Villages' and the clandestine, slow-motion stylishness of 'Love Cuts Deeper'.

Review: Since donning the Broken English Club alias in 2014, British techno veteran Oliver Ho has been rather prolific. White Rats, his third full-length under the pseudonym, appears almost a year to the day from the release of its predecessor. Like that set (The English Beach), the album sees Ho explore his industrial and EBM influences, serving up nine fuzzy, intoxicating and distorting cuts of refreshingly high quality. There are moody and percussive dancefloor workouts, of course - see "Funny Games", the acid-fired "Let's Play" and metallic "God Man Dog" - but also a high number of clandestine soundscapes that sit somewhere between Cabaret Voltaire's ambient excursions and some of Throbbing Gristle's more notable beat-free compositions.

Review: British techno veteran Oliver Ho has released some fine material as Broken English Club since debuting the alias back in 2014. The English Beach, Ho's second BEC full-length and first for L.I.E.S, is the audio equivalent of a trip to a run-down North Sea coastal resort on a wet Wednesday in November. Full of end-of-days electronics, stripped-back industrial techno, moody minimal wave shufflers and bubbly EBM workouts, it's as authentic a tribute to early '80s electronic experimentalism as you're likely to hear all year. Highlights include the Nitzer Ebb style bounce of "Pylon", the foreboding, desolate electronica of "Rust Ballad", the angry electro moodiness of "Carrion" and the rolling, organ-laden autumnal bliss of "The English Beach".

Cat: 781676 75791. Rel: 03 Oct 24
Review: Kevin Richard Martin, known for pushing the boundaries of sound as THE BUG, unleashes his latest full-length, Machine. The album, released via Relapse, is his first solo instrumental work under the moniker, following a series of self-released EPs on PRESSURE. Each track is a sonic barrage, merging futuristic dub with crushing electronic elements, heavy bass riffs, and industrial weight that recalls his earlier work with Techno Animal and King Midas Sound. Machine takes the listener on a journey through dense, dystopian soundscapes, where each beat feels like a seismic event, making it perfect for oversized systems in sweat-drenched clubs. Tracks like 'Buried' and 'Bodied' epitomise this, with the former dropping tectonic bass lines over heavyweight beats, while the latter smoulders with industrial doom. Martin's signature "ice cold and dystopian" sound is at its zenith here, blending visceral sub-bass pressure with masterful production. It's a brutal yet nuanced record, one that demands to be felt as much as heard.

Review: Blimey Marcos is on one here! The somewhat morbid title to Cabral's second album for LIES should hint at what to expect from the six tracks within as the New Yorker lays out a masterclass in grinding, sonic bedlam. It's clear Cabral's experiments with the Chemotex project for The Trilogy Tapes have spurred a new level of creativity and darkness in him and it's thrilling to see how far he takes it on Buried Alive Twice. Forget any dancefloor pretences; this album is all about grinding sound design with highlights in the shape of the foreboding stutter of "That's Not A Bathroom" (featuring someone called Suzi) and "Shallows" which sounds like thick globules of acid being attacked by a swarm of locusts.

He's has been making music for no less than twenty years now, and has released on everything from Type to Last foundation and of course, his own excellent Root Strata label which has seen releases from the likes of Oneohtrix Point Never, Keith Fullerton Whitman and Grouper. A Year With 13 Moons is a 16-track journey into the depths of electronic gorgeousity, where mammoth-like waves of feedback splurge onto more docile soundscapes. Tracks like "Love After Love" or "Interiors", although dark and foreboding in places, retain an element of peace and tranquillity, something which Ledesma is just so damn good at. It's music for the open mind, an adventure into the most treacherous of calm waters.

Review: Over the last few years, the occasional studio collaborations between Factory Floor's Nik Void and Throbbing Gristle heavyweights Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti have proved to be faultless exercises in industrial music/techno fusion. They're at it again on third album "Triumvirate", a collection of dark, intense and mind-altering concoctions that veers from ricocheting, delay-laden alien funk ("T3.4") and surging, club-ready hypnotism ("T3.2", "T3.3"), to raw, Surgeon-esque assaults on the senses ("T3.5") and clanking, concrete-clad fare that recalls the best of Carter and Tutti's early '80s TG work ("T3.1", "T3.6"). There are few surprises, just a series of angry, on-point instrumental excursions that should delight all of those of an industrial persuasion.

Review: Finally! We'd been waiting for Carter Tutti Void's follow-up to 2012's Transverse live recording, and hear it is, the trio's first official studio album in their familiarly distorted and cutting-edge style - and it's as sublime as you'd expect. After all, we are talking about a collaboration between Throbbing Gristle Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Factory Floor's Nick Void, a rather sublime line-up in our books and exactly the sort of fresh air that the electronic / pseudo techno pool needs at the moment. F(x) is a wide-eyed view of techno and all its offshoots; the beats flutter and stir across waves of broken guitar riffs and foreboding vocals, a cold image of the world rendered warmer by the outfit's choice of instruments. This LP embobies the true spirit of both techno and industrial music as a whole, cutting out all the club-centred bull and getting straight to the point: dance, sex, and decadence. Highly recommended, of course.

Review: Type has been unstoppable this year - from the reissue of Porter Ricks' seminal dub techno LP to Vatican Shadow's Kneel Before Religious Icons, they've really broadened their musical horizons. The multi moniker Brad Rose debuts on the label under the Charlatan banner with six eclectic pieces of techno-injected drones. "Codex" is a near post-apocalyptic dream in which spine-chilling chords find their own momentum amid background atmospherics, while "Kinetic Disruption" places a distant 4/4 kick beneath a bed of motor-engine effects and howling melodies. "Electronic Horizon" is also a brilliant experimentation into almost human-like drums and whirling tones, but its "Terminal Zero" that allows Charlatan's LP to standout - another cleverly disguised kick pattern which is subdued by the oppressive force of the drones and noises emanating form every possible direction.

Review: CHBB was a project by Beate Bartel and Chris Haas that developed from a collaboration first embarked upon in 1981, while working on the self-titled album Liaisons Dangereuses. After initially releasing their music only on four limited cassettes, this compilation from Soulsheriff flaunts their complete works, including all recordings from the original tapes paired with several new and original tracks by each artist. One can hardly tell the difference between original and new here; from the surreally throat-sung contraltos of 'NBKE' to the jankily strange doubletimes of 'Bali', from the the warbly hypnotisms of 'Shapeshifter' to the womping-kicks-over-German-language-incantations of 'Ima Iki-Mashoo', there's an industrial, experimental treat here for everyone.

Anthony aka SURGEON CHILD
Cat: NNA 054. Rel: 15 Mar 13
Review: Taking a break from his surgical commitments, Anthony Child serves up some avant-garde noise excursions with The Space Between People & Things for the Vermont label NNA Tapes. It's an infinitesimal exploration of found sound and tone generation, purportedly examining negative space and culled from Child's years of studies on the side of his more prominent techno output. It's a curious ride through academia, at times as serene as the subtle hum of a suburb, at others a cataclysmic pulse raging down on your senses, but there's no escaping the attention to detail that has gone into forming this pair of sonic suites.

Musik Fantastique! (reissue) (pink vinyl LP)
Cat: CTIMF 22. Rel: 23 Mar 23
Review: This version of Chris & Cosey's Musik Fantastique! is a reissue of their original 1992 album, which features a mix of new wave, post-punk, and electronic influences to produce a slick slew of dreamy melody and threnody. Chris & Cosey's sharp, often confrontational lyrics explore themes of love, politics, and society, on what is otherwise a more centre-field and dreamy album in the pair's overall brutal discography; it's a cherished part of their synthpop / dream pop era from the early 90s.

Domestic Exile: Collected Works 82-86 (transparent blue vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: ELP 009. Rel: 26 Mar 15
Review: Along with the likes of Maurizio Bianchi (who stands as the undisputed father of Italian industrial music and power electronics), Daniele Ciullini's brand of industrial synthpop was truly influential at the time of release way back in the early eighties. The man only released a number of cassettes and records before plunging into darkness, so the lovely Ecstatic label have put his work together into something of an anthology! Tracks like "Marbles In the Garden", a drum machine-led banger with minimal melodic work, still sound as fresh as ever today - not to mention the very Detroitian "Naked & White" - and it is imperative that any fan of electronic music comes across this release, at least. If you're into anything on Hospital, if you like Vatican Shadow or Raime, and if you vibe to noisy techno sounds then you've hit the source. Recommended.

Dead Channel Sky (Loser Edition) (gatefold neon pink vinyl 2xLP)
Cat: SP 1575X. Rel: 13 Mar 25
Review: Imagine a world where the pioneers of hip-hop and electro reign supreme, their sounds echoing through the neon-lit streets of a futuristic metropolis. This is the world that Clipping creates, their music a heady blend of gritty beats, razor-sharp rhymes and dystopian soundscapes. 'Dominator' and 'Change the Channel' set the tone with their raw energy and infectious hooks, while 'Run It' and 'Go' showcase the group's lyrical dexterity and knack for crafting intricate rhymes that weave tales of technology, alienation and social unrest. Collaborations with Aesop Rock, Nels Cline and Cartel Madras add further depth and dimension to the album's sonic tapestry, each artist bringing their unique flavour to the mix. Tracks like 'Simple Degradation' and 'Mood Organ' delve into the darker corners of this dystopian world, exploring the anxieties and uncertainties of a future dominated by technology. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is a thrilling ride through a world of futuristic sounds and thought-provoking lyrics.

Review: Perth legends Clouds are back with their idiosyncratic style of noisy techno shenanigans on Electric Deluxe. Heavy The Eclipse tells the story of a dystopian future in Glasgow, after numerous waves of social collapse which has run to waste in lawless ruin. The land passed into the hands of new owners; a German-speaking conglomerate, who incorporated it into a new civic entity: Neurealm. Think ravaged and warped breakbeats haunted by wailing euphoric noise, vivid and graphic reflections of fractured post-industrial hardcore and moments of poetry flashing within a thick impending fog.

Review: There is little to say about Coil apart from the fact that have been one of the most important groups in the industrial scene since the mid-1980s, and that they've had a massive effect on the state of electronic music today. The band formed and led by John Balance is particularly important for the latter because of the Backwards sound that they developed into the 1990's. This present compilation by Cold Spring is a comprehensive review of the Backwards sound, an incredible blend of dance beats and raucous noise infusions powered by an unmistakable EBM flavour that links up nicely with the likes of Nitzer Ebb, and that whole posse. "Fire Of The Green Dragon" is one of our personal favourites, a gorgeous twist of dubbed-about beat mechanics, and "Heaven's Blade" is exactly the sort of psychedelic, voice-driven techno that we're into these days. This is a must. For fans of all electronic music types. Killer.

Musick To Play In The Dark (limited transparent yellow vinyl 2xLP (side 4 etched) + MP3 download code in embossed spot-varnished sleeve)
Cat: DAIS 155LPC6. Rel: 05 Feb 21
Review: Bandmates Peter Christopherson and John Balance were allegedly holed up in a Victorian mansion in the almost-forgotten English seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare, in the midst of a drug binge when they got cracking on Musick To Play In The Dark. Location aside, it's hardly the most original genesis of an album, but nevertheless the end product was a sign of just how talented the artists are - give the average person a bag full of powders and pills and ask them for a record. Then see what happens.
Coil's tenth album arrived in 1999, bookending one part of their story and beginning the next. It's here the players opted to embrace ambient, glitch, minimalism and 'kosmische musik' - experimental rock sub-genre 'cosmic music' popularised in West Germany during the late-1960s. Or, to use the outfit's own terminology, they invented 'moon musick', marking their transition to a "lunar group". The results are mesmerising.

Review: This is an absolute treat for fans of experimental industrial noisniks Coil. If you fit that description, you should already be salivating at the prospect of a triple-vinyl album containing previously unheard, unreleased material. "Swanyard" is in effect an extended trawl through the late John Balance and Peter Christopherson's archives, focusing in particular on a productive period between 1993 and 1996 that saw the pair release a trio of acclaimed albums. Much of the material could be classed as either demos or work-in-progress sketches inspired by Christopherson's vivid dreams, but such was the quality of the pair's work that it sounds much more eccentric, vibrant and "complete" than many comparable compilations.

The Ape Of Naples (Extended Edition) (trifold white vinyl 3xLP)
Cat: IF 111W. Rel: 10 Jan 23
Review: There are echoes of Coil's mid-1980s cult classic album 'Horse Rotorvator' in 'The Ape of Naples' in that it has such a wide variety of sounds and styles. This one first came back in 2005 and is a go-to for fans as it is just a great example of the band's singular sonic world. The album was put together by Peter Christopherson a year after Jhonn Balance's deadly fall and it features re-workings of the live favourites like 'Amethyst Deceivers' and Love Secret's Domain album track 'Teenage Lightning' plus a numb of tunes first meant for the ultimately ill-fated Backwards long player. Grammy-nominated engineer Jessica Thompson has remastered all the originals for this new reissue.

Queens Of The Circulating Library (reissue) (limited translucent blue vinyl LP in spot-varnished sleeve + MP3 download code (indie exclusive))
Cat: DAIS 187LPC3. Rel: 12 Jan 23
Review: 'Queens Of The Circulating Library' sees a re-release from Dais, once more cementing the everlasting reputation of monarchic industrial-drone-ambient outfit Coil. All hail. This nearly 50-minute project has verifiably made its subjects quiver and shake with fear; the stern voices of the 'queens' who guard this seemingly infinite sonic bank of knowledge are narrated by the opera singer Dorothy Lewis, who takes a break from melismatic belting and trilling to play the role of totalitarian info-guardian. A deep, menacing psychedelic journey, not for the faint of spirit.

Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) (reissue) (limited clear-in-red vinyl 3xLP + MP3 download code in slip-case)
Cat: DAIS 188LPC5. Rel: 01 Oct 24
Review: Originally released as a double CD in 2002, Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) is a collection of four EPs Coil issued seasonally in 1998 via their Eskaton imprint. Featuring John Balance, Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson, Drew McDowall, and William Breeze, it was recorded in their Chiswick, London home studio before they relocated to Weston-Super-Mare. This pivotal work has long been considered a high point in Coil's discography, though it was never reissued or pressed on vinyl at the time. Arranged around the equinoxes and solstices, Moon's Milk captures Coil's deep dive into improvisation, ritualistic sound design and mystical atmospheres and stands proud as a testament to their individuality.

Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil (2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: DAIS 186LP. Rel: 12 Aug 22
Review: One of the weirder stop-offs in Coil's discography, 'Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil' is a great example of the medium carrying the message as much as the evil sound of the project's music itself. In this case, only six out of 23 tracks found on this long-player from 2000 are named, and are thereafter lost in the event horizon that is track six, 'Tunnel Of Goats'. Crunching, groaning power electronics undulate through dubious monarchic proclamations in processed voice, such as "I am the green child" preceding maniacal laughter - and sounds befitting of an otherly funeral procession (ghostly xylophones, portly belches) - abound.

Cat: DAIS 188LPC2. Rel: 11 Mar 24
Review: Dais continue their dedicated work returning the music of Coil back to their ever-loving public, now tackling one of their most highly prized pieces from their twilight years. Moon's Milk (In Four Phases) was originally released as four singles titled Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice. It's generally accepted the whole project is meant to be experienced as a total body of work, though, and after years of fans putting up with a bootleg edition, there's finally a proper, triple vinyl pressing of dark ambient masterpiece from one of the most enigmatic groups in British electronic music history.
