ADN’ CKRYSTALL is Érick Moncollin (aka Dr. Strange), an artist from France and truly a pioneer in electronic music since the mid-70’s. Already in 1976, he was jamming with Vangelis and Tim Blake in Paris, and he was also testing the KORG MS20 in its flat prototype version (and is still owning and using a MS10 prototype today!). In 1982, he released his first album “Jazz’mad”. The unique weirdness and brilliance of this album is unequalled and a class of its own. Érick never stopped playing and recording electronic music, but, of course, styles changed over the years. In late 2006, “Jazz’mad” was nearing its 25 years anniversary, and Érick recorded a sister album to it - in “Jazz’mad” style, of course! LP with '7, 400 copies

Erick "CKrystall" Moncollin AKA “Dr. Strange” is active in art from the late 70's until today. In 1982 he released his first album “Jazz Mad” which is an undisputed masterpiece of electronic music. During the years he developed his style in music, drawing and performances but despite all he never changed. 2008 appears productive for Erick. Earlier this year he released the "Minilab" 12"/7" combo on Anna-logue records and Clogsontronics presents 3 new born tracks. The 7" vinyl EP is accompanied by a mini CD containing the same tracks. To emphasize his 30 year activity in art in 2007 he decided to finalize the drawing of a poster he started in 1977. A high quality full-color reproduction in big A1 format is included with this Clogsontronics package. COD-ADN' is limited to 450 hand-numbered copies.

Treue um Treue 012

Created as an attempt to document an alternative history (or shall we say another dimension) of popular electronic music, ALONE from Belgrade have been active both as a performing and recording project since 1994 and already have to their credit numerous tape and CDR releases, including 5 full-length albums. Their style, eluding any pre-conceived categorisation, is a unique brand of high-tech electro-wave, allying the pathos and weirdness of KIRCHOHMFELD, the complexity and killing beat-programming of LASSIGUE BENDTHAUS and the unpredictability of PIERRE NORMAL. TREUE UM TREUE is very proud to present ALONE’s first ever vinyl release, a selection of 9 tracks spanning a period of almost 12 years, from the first demos down to the latest album. Definitely pop but never easy, futurist and neo-romantic at times, ALONE’s music remains through the years as unfamiliar and utterly compelling as the post-apocalyptic landscapes it tells us about. Like a voice from the outer world, ALONE takes us to the nexus in time and space where each may find their Golden Path; 318 copies

Bran released two very limited artifacts on cd and in this tradition we now present the vinyl debut of this act. When it comes to the music Bran serves the fans of minimal synth for sure but don’t be surprised to come across some uncommon style elements too. This 7 inch is more of an artifact as a record as it comes with a booklet with drawings by the musician and hand printed covers with two different designs (also by the musician himself). Next to that the labels are hand stamped with self designed stamps. As this record is ultra limited to only two times 75 copies (75 copies of each cover design) it is bound to become a real collector piece very soon...

CAR CRASH SET were one of the very few electropop acts coming out of New Zealand and have released several vinyls nationally between 1983 and 1986. Basically, the CAR CRASH SET consisted of synthesists/composers David Bulog and Nigel Russell and guitarist/producer Trevor Reekie, and was formed in late 1981. Their 1983 12” ‘Two Songs’ (including “Outsider” and “Fall from Grace”) and the V/A ‘We’ll do our best’ LP (including CAR CRASH SET’s “Toys”) are at least highly collectible items amongst electropop connoisseurs and many people will be happy to see these tracks being available again as well as four previously unavailable demos from both their earliest and later days.

CARMODY were Andrea Lesmo (synthesisers, tapes, bass, guitar) and Alberto Ramella (vocals) with the some help from Massimiliano Casacci (guitar - nowadays in Subsonica and running the Casasonica Studios) at the later stage of their existence. They came from Torino, Italy, and were mates of Monuments and Chromagain, also following a similar musical path with predominant synthesisers and drum machines (Boss DR-55, Korg KPR-77, Roland TR-909) along with some sparse guitars here and there. They recorded from 1981 to 1985 and issued three incredibly rare demo tapes. “A Better Spider” compiles the best tracks from those tapes, bringing you some of the best electropop/electrowave music ever coming out of Italy. 1000 copies, first 500 copies include a signed photo

This re-issue also includes a 24-page newsprint zine “Darker Days As I Recall Them” by Robin Crutchfield with silk screened cardstock jackets and an 8×11 lyrics sheet with song meanings and reflections from Robin Crutchfield and Bill Sack on the making of Window..

DILEMMA was Klaus Hahn and Christoph Schaller, originally from Viersen, Germany. Out of a deep admiration for rough early 80’s minimalistic electrobands like DAF, Portion Control or The Klinik they themselves started early to create some weird tracks with borrowed synthesisers, found metal parts and whatever did create some noise. They recorded around seven tapes in between 1986 and 1990, and made vinyl appearances on “Christmas EP” (7” on Dirk Ivens’ Body Records) as well as on “VA – Forms of Elektronik Body Music” (LP on Impuls Records). Also they supported The Klinik on a tour in 1989. 500 copies, first 250 copies include hand numbered and signed b/w photo, the other 250 copies include the hand numbered photos, but unsigned

It was in December 1980, when Stephan Eicher released a 7"-single (running on 33 1/2 rpm) on the now legendary Swiss label 'Off Course Records'.
The single had an immediate and strong impact on the then still young 'Electro/Minimal Punk'-scene and especially the song 'MiniMiniMiniMinijupe' has become a timeless classic of the scene, still being played today in all relevant clubs by DJs, that re-discover the early 80ies pioneering electro acts.
This is Electro 80's minimal punk at its very best - Grauzone meet D.A.F. meet Suicide!
Stephan Eicher recorded the totally 7 songs (only 5 were later released on the debut 7" on a simple dictaphone recorder with no overdubs or mixing and purely with 'stolen' equipment. The result was a MC, produced in 25 copies only and 5 tracks of which have then been released as 7" single by Off Course. This re-release of his very first ever recordings comes with all 7 tracks of the original MC release, Including the two tracks that did not 'make it' on the 7" from 1980!

His work in the field of electronic music ranges from synthpop to experimental music. Some people might know him from his collaborations with The Legendary Pink Dots and Edward Ka-Spel.

Three years after “In Memoriam”, ICH WOLLTE, ICH KÖNNTE are back with a 7-inch EP inspired by Saint John the Apostle and the symbolism of the solsticial gates. Whilst thematically closer to Tradition than in their previous works, IWIK stay musically true to their own brand of cold and melancholic electro-wave, as the four new ballads on this record follow in the steps of the acclaimed debut LP. Esoteric cold-romantica at its best!

Mysterious and long-forgotten electro-wave diva of the early 80s, JOHANNA LIEBHART (occasionally credited as “ANNA”) disappeared in largely unknown circumstances back in 1999, leaving behind several unreleased albums. Even if her name is not familiar, some of you will already know her style from ICH WOLLTE ICH KÖNNTE’s first album, released on T.U.T. a couple of years ago, which was inspired by, and largely based on some of her compositions. The tracks on this 10” are all taken from Anna’s early tape recordings, and probably represent some of her most emotional and intimate works, as simple and modest in their beauty as the personality of their creator was facetious. Seven neo-romantic analogue-synth pieces, entirely instrumental. Sacral, minimal and utterly desperate, like the disclosing of someone’s secret chapel, or the hidden garden of a run-down doll-house; 277 hand-numbered copies

Cool Italian dudes Avant! recently released a 7” by German Cassetten 82/Hot Wave outfit Krysmopompas. The a-side, GeSa, is a line drawing of the graceful movements traced on the dusty floor of an abandoned hall by a mechanical bride and an electrical groom as they orbit around each other in their clockwork ballet while a crooning ghost dressed in an ill-fitting tuxedo provides dada admonitions from his pulpit. It sounds grainy, derelict, metallic and forsakenly beautiful like all the best German post-punk.

Their music, a kind of post-punk electro-zouk, is ryhthmic, dark, distorted, strident and chocolate-flavored. Renowned for their head blowing performances, the band has remained so far really discrete with its discography focussing on live collaborations with the likes of vivid astro focus or Voin de Voin for instance, crossing roads all over Europe.

In 1984, the MONUMENTS, consisting of Andrea Costa and Mauro Tavella from Torino, Italy, released their only official record, a mini LP called “Age” comprising six incredibly fantastic electropop tracks. MONUMENTS were already formed in 1981 and a couple of demos were recorded which never saw the light of day, but were only given to a few friends. Their nature is a bit more rough and never drift towards the more commercial Italo synth pop. So what you get on this CD is indeed an essential retrospective compilation album of one of Italy’s pioneering underground electronic music acts. CD with 17 tracks, 500 copies

First "real" CD for RASPUTEEN, aka the pop pet project of one half of Synapscape. While the first two CDRs were playful and nice, it is with this "Die Segnungen" that Rasputeen finally gets the ambition and maturity of a full fledge project. Still retro, but more original and personal than before, the old-school electro tracks have gained a lot in production, and the slightly non-sensical german lyrics are now better coordinated with the music. Quite accessible, definitely tongue-in-cheek, but now also enjoyable by non 80's fans, here's a CD that might open up a lot of opportunities to Rasputeen.

Also included in the package are 2 stickers similar to the ones the band used for promotion back in the old days. The release is limited to 700 hand number stamped copies (matched numbers for both vinyl and CD) with lyrics and credits on the inner sleeve.

The Misz - Eddy Merckz
LP
Onderstroomrecords
|
17 Euro
|
Beside the usual noise and experimental projects there were also great new wave bands active in the 80's tape scene. With a few synths, a guitar and a drumcomputer THE MISZ created strange synth/wave/pop with political and nonsense lyrics. The band consisted of Dries Dekocker, Jan Van Den Broeke and friends who would accidentally pass by. Their second tape “Eddy Merckz” is a good example for the extreme high quality of the 80's cassette culture scene. The catchy sound, fine harmonies and male/female vocals made this band a remarkable milestone in european new-wave.

TRANSPARENT ILLUSION was the brainchild of Roy Young (a pseudonym), hailing from Haverhill, Suffolk, UK. Equipped with just one synthesiser and a drum kit, he entered Octopus Studios, located in Stowupland, Suffolk, and run by Dave Hoser, in 1980/81 to record the ultimate minimal electronic music album. The original vinyl album “Still Human” and the single “Vortex” were released on Roy’s own label Vex Records but only a few copies managed to sell. The album has been carefully remastered from an original vinyl copy by Stefan Bornhorst (aka The Silicon Scientist). Two original demo recordings from 1980 have been added: “Concepts” and “Vortex”, which were taken off the original master tape by courtesy of Nicolas Delbarre and Dave Hoser. The artwork was accurately adapted from the original album by Steve Lippert. 100 copies on transparent clear vinyl, 100 copies on transparent orange vinyl, 300 copies on black vinyl

As if it wasn’t already enough, Anna adds three previously unreleased tracks to the list: the very rare and sought-after 1983 track “Village of Stars” by CAMERA OBSCURA, the new track “Operators” by THE SILICON SCIENTIST, as well as finally a new sign of life from the TWINS NATALIA who contribute “Destiny”. Therefore not simply a label compilation, and also useful as a nice entry into Anna’s world or into the world of early 80’s analogue electro pop, minimal electronics, minimal synth, minimal wave, electro, NDW and dark wave in general. Drawings by Érick Moncollin (ADN’ Ckrystall). Mastering by Stefan Bornhorst (The Silicon Scientist).

Zwischenfall formed in 1982 with Michael Sass (synths), Martin Urban (bass/vocals) and Stephan Kraemer (guitar/drums)–all of German descent. They were united by musical sensibilities that combined electronic and traditional instruments developing the basis for their 1982 demo recordings. By chance Patrick Codenys of the Belgian electro pioneers Front 242 heard two songs and decided to record a 4-song EP for the electro band’s newly formed label MASK. The Heute EP was released in 1983 after a week of recording in Front’s private studio under the direction of sound-whiz Daniel B. Remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios, the EP features two bonus tracks from the Heute sessions never before released on vinyl: the uptempo “Tausend Jahre” and “Katastrophe” the demo version of Flucht. The Dark Entries’ release of Heute will include an original press kit with lyrics and band photos and is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.
