1. OUT NOW:

DATASHOCK "Pyramiden Von Gießen" 2LP

"Oo what's this be-gatefolded Kraut-outing I see 
before me emblazoned with manicdotes and universe 
of seemingly some other lost time, its colossal 
sonic ooze ritualizing our cranials and 
Dynorodding our deepest secret fears, then? Hell, 
it's PYRAMIDEN VON GIEßEN, the fucking brand new 
German double-vinyl epic commune sprawl from 
Berlin/Hamburg ensemble Datashock, and it's a 
splendidly righteous motherfucker with futuristic 
lobes for pointy-headed people.

Don't know what they put in the wasser during 
this Datashock sesh, but it kicks Balzac in the 
ballsac and I want some now or a tantric tantrum 
approacheth. Kiddies, you doshed enuff this month 
for just one purchase, perchance, then make sure 
you buy THIS motherfucker, got me? You're on the 
dole you, you NEED new music it's this one. Why? 
Because not only comes its sound from the bowels 
of the fucking Absolute, but it's all housed & 
decorated like these visionary motherfuckers 
truly CARE! So grab your bargain by rushing to 
Dekorder Records' website at dekorder.com, or 
hassle those beasts themselves at 
myspace.com/datashock."
(JULIAN COPE)


ALEXANDER RISHAUG "Shadow Of Events" CD

Rishaug's music is informed by classic minimal 
composers such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley as 
well as 90's electronica acts such as the 
Oval/Microstoria axis and like-minded but more 
obscure artists associated with the Mille 
Plateaux label (remember Neina?) but surely 
wouldn't be out of place on a contemporary label 
like Kranky or Type.

Repetitive and seemingly simple melodic patterns 
are combined with (and sometimes obscured by) 
decaying monlithic drone layers creating a hazy 
melancholic landscape slowly unfolding its 
beauty. Granular shoegazy tones are building up 
in slow-motion recalling the patient yet precise 
and complex drone works of Stephan Mathieu, 
William Basinski and Machinefabriek's Dauw album.

"A contender for album of the year status in my 
opinion; truly engaging and explorative, this is 
a refined and immersive work." (Future Sequence)

"Shadow Of Events ist jetzt bereits das Ambient 
Album des Jahres 2011!" (Auf Abwegen)
