.. New religions referred to as CARGO CULT were born in Papua New Guinea during the World War Two. The anthropologists researching these religions discovered their indeed intriguing origin. However, later the conspiracy for hiding the truth from Western societies prevented this fact from being revealed to public as the image of certain countries proclaiming democratic values could have gravely suffered. While the truth is that the cannibal cults have a direct link with the war crimes committed by the Americans and the Japanese. The US and Japan both participated in war actions in the territory of Papua New Guinea. One of the cruellest methods of killing war captives they used was to throw live people right from the flying planes and helicopters. The operations of annihilating the captives were coded BODY CARGO. The warring parties believed that bodies thrown into the wild jungle would be eaten by wild animals and thus never discovered. However, cannibal tribes that never saw military planes before used to observe and find the falling bodies. They believed the planes were divine astromachines, while human meat falling from the sky for them was heaven-sent tribute for the worshipping of their images. It equalled profound revelation and benevolence of supernatural reality to them. Therefore, they started practising new religions inspired by and based on war crimes, cruelty and torture encoded BODY CARGO. This horrible mystic conspiracy served as inspiration for inventing its sonic equivalent. Lo-fi dark, brutal sound, psychedelic post-mortem atmosphere form the structure and essence of the new project titled by the code BODY CARGO. BODY CARGO is an austere and truthful face of the new religions as well as the mauled human bodies transformed into sound.

After the end of Clo Goelach, new ressuErection was made, new project with new concept was born - BODY CARGO. It's continuum of CG, but now we gave it new face, strong guts and we're going back on our murderous mission.
First appearance and info on web - HERE. (http://www.myspace.com/bodycargo) <<< few records from CG phase are available in a row with 2 excerpts from 2 upcoming releases!
sounds promising
excellent story , looking forward to your new material !
Thanks for comments & support.
I can say that 2 new tapes will show up on Autarkeia! Further details already this Monday on labels website!
love the clo goelach stuff, very much looking forward to body cargo!
I am all for this it seems to be right up my alley, this seems very promising and has a good story behind it. With that being said it is a shame that Clo Goalech is no more, even if it is just in the name and as one would expect a change in sounds and/or approach. Can't wait to hear what you do with it though!
For those who are interested, upcoming release on Klaustrosignal, again very limited & final :
Clo Goelach "Baltic Filth" CDr (re-issue of "Streecleaner/Woundfucker" & "Forced to choke" CDr's)

This concept is really fascinating. Where can one read more about this? Books, articles..?
Two upcoming tapes on Autarkeia i a few weeks :
Body Cargo "Posthum" tape
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/4350/webbodycargoposthumdid.jpg)
The same end awaits all the human efforts to create or achieve anything positive, good or harmonious. The evolution of all human ideas, works or plans collides with the concentration of illusions, pain, suffering, torture, slaughter and, finally, corpses that need to be discarded. The major architectural achievement of the human race is also related to concentration. It is a concentration camp, of course. Even after being taken down it does not abandon human conscious. Thus, the concentration is the supreme characteristic inherent to human civilisation and realm that can be defined as POSTHUM, while a human being that has perceived it becomes its supreme realisation form. He or she then is POSTHOMO. Dead or alive, he/she represents the same superbeing - POSTHOMO or a corpse. Gloomy, aggressive, low&dirty quality postmortem record of Body Cargo is dedicated to the concentration of civilisation dusthole posthum and its product posthomo.
Body Cargo "Echoes" tape
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8725/webbodycargoechoescasdi.jpg)
The powerful echo of bomber engines obscures the scream of the falling live flesh. In his earphones, the pilot hears the echoes of radio noise, and feels the perturbations of the bomber changing its altitude. Muscular guys with stony faces have quickly handled the affair above the jungle drowning in the dusk. The pilot curtly informs the base: mission complete. The jungle echoes when the live falling flesh is torn at the collision with lianas and tree branches. The startled birds soar up and the beat of the wings echoes high above. The baboons shriek in parallel with the echoes of bloody cannibal rituals in the thicket. The sounds of violence pierce the jungle. The echoes are the only substance remaining at the shed of blood. All those dead and tortured transform into one loud echo of the world. Echo is the ghostly face of the world. Dirty sound of this tape is a tribute to things remaining after the bloodiest crimes. Their only testimony is the echoes and not some bloody Amnesty International's declaration
Will be packed in hard carton boxes /w print.
I'm not a huge fan of that font (yea, I'm getting tired of font talk too but I just had to say it) but the rest looks good, concept is nice and most importantly those clips on Myspace sound great especially the 2nd Untitled (excerpt), I like how all of that thick heaviness charges around and washes itself in and out and the sample running in the background (or low-mixed vocals?) adds a lot too the atmosphere.
Autarkeia has approved one more of upcoming BODY CARGO releases, it's super hysteric & insane :
Body Cargo "Flesh waste / Recycling" heavy 7-inch
(http://www.autarkeia.org/admin/cd_pics/WEB_Body-Cargo_Flesh-waste_Recycling.jpg)
BODY CARGO Flesh Waste / Recycling is an aggressive charge of two hits dedicated to the war crimes in Papua New Guinea and the religions that emerged as a result of these crimes. Aggressive, dirty and psychotic postmortem record for the fans of conspiracy theories and brutal electronic sound. Only for the elect.
I can't see how Lash could pass on a release with the subject matter and sound that Body Cargo have. What will you charge for these?
I can't say this for now. Maybe it would be more accurate to ask Lash himself. But I think the best point of counting, would be price of another 7" released on Autarkeia.

The man behind Autarkeia has a strong interest in Papua New Guinea, cannibalism and I'm sure cargo cults. That combined with a "post-mortem" sound I just can't see him not releasing it. I actually thought that it was a house band of Autarkeia when I read the statement/press release.
Added info about upcoming releases.
Uploaded excerpts from upcoming releases into MySpace.
AND ONE MORE THING,LATER THIS YEAR....:
Body Cargo "Logistics Of Religion" heavy 10-inch
(http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/2628/webdidbodycargologistic.jpg)
Logistics of Religion is a powerful document testifying the link between the clans of intelligence services, representing themselves as the Messengers of Jesus, with the bloody rituals in Papua New Guinea. These are the latest testimonies about the involvement of B-52, the bomber of the new prophets, in the establishment of the latest and bloodiest religions and its mission of providing new victims for the cruellest cannibal tribes. Logistics of Religion is the new way to conquer the remote and dangerous areas of the planet. Global control and solution of strategic objectives by rallying the archaic religions of the planet in the hands of a single secret master. Management strategy and religion planning for savage tribes with regard to the peculiarities of archaic world view. Logistics of Religion is the disclosure of far-fetching plans embodied in the brutal sound of postmortem. In the record of Logistics of Religion, one will find samples, powerful and unique conspirational atmosphere and the spit into the face of the lie.

New Review for the latest Body Cargo release, "Conspiracy of Containers".
http://purestench.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-body-cargo-conspiracy-of.html
QuoteClo Goelach was a Lithuanian Power Electronics project that sprung up from nowhere in 2008 offering, from its birth to its death, 11 strong releases including splits with Noise projects from around the world. Last year the project died and was given an afterlife as Body Cargo. If you watched the progression of Clo Goelach you could point to the later releases and see that he was going somewhere different and a name change was almost mandatory. The constrained and prolonged atmospherics of Body Cargo makes it stand apart from both Clo Goelach and a decent amount of active Power Electronics projects who are releasing material in this day and age. The cassette reeks with "control", a type of control original in a time frame and genre where change can easily be abused and tagged as creativity, or, where the easy nostalgia trend feels unavoidable. Insistent control.
Conspiracy of Containers moves slowly with a measured and cold-blooded energy of rationed movements and withering pressure that can't ever seem to liberate itself. First. A machine sounds as the cassette opens, keeping itself together under the arrangement of static wash that floats to-and-fro like a burning field underlined by an echoed sample who is deep enough with the grain as to be hard to distinguish. Both of the following tracks, "Pyramids of Shining Skulls" and "Feeding The Sharks of Jungle" are convincing and ethereal but they don't give you a clearer picture of what's going on through-out the tape. It does not, by any means, ruin the listening aspect, however. It only blurs the lines more than before. Like Mysticism, where only a "master" and an initiate can be conscious of it all. Like a doomed master in ritual garb evoking feelings of disgust and spite, offering nothing in return. This track,"Pyramids of Shining Skulls" is the most busy of all 5 but even when it's movements are gushing, the atmosphere is always confined and engulfed with Body Cargo's signature crawl. This is an ideal style for which the subject matter explores best, while also a style whom our friend seems to work brilliantly with. That is not to say that the brutality of his past project, Clo Goelach, was great in-and-of itself, it sometimes seemed forced. With Body Cargo you don't get that feeling, quite the opposite. The 3rd track has a pace perfect to act as a sling shot into the 4th track titled "Above The Green Hell of Hungry Beasts" which is a 13 minute long devotion to simplicity in its most cruel form. It impairs your perception and awareness immediately, as some ominous feeling of being deep in the jungle without help creeps over you. Just like through-out most of the cassette there are deformed samples which stand out, "The Green Hell"... is no exception whilst a deep, thinning rumble threads a background, silently. The ender may be one of the more "noisy" tracks found here. Volleys of rumble accompanied by barrels and other various junk being scratched and slapped around.
"Conspiracy of Containers" stalks you, it defeats your sense of space and direction. The entire album, due to its minimalist approach, has a deep feeling of unrevealed deprivation surrounding it, and no matter how consistent the hypnotic stretches of Noise are this is not a harmless tape. The layering is undividedly precise. Rumbling and crumpled up shrouds of static co-exist with simple drones maintaining a slow suffocating momentum. Since the sad death of Clo Goelach, Body Cargo has been busy - 3 cassettes in 2010 and 1 in 2011. If I were to suggest any of his releases as Body Cargo I would, without doubt, put "Conspiracy of Containers" release by Autarkia first, and then "Konrete" which can be easily obtained through Waterpower.
