Some new releases from
ZHELEZOBETON:
POLKKA LOVE MACHINE "s/t" C-58 [ltd. 177] / CDR [ltd. 77]
Polkka Love Machine is the title of a performance made by the Finnish theatrical group
Sabotanic Garden founded by
Pasi Mäkelä and
Jussi Saivo. The piece appeared in 2009 and has toured extensively ever since in France, Germany, Austria, USA, Czech, Estonia and Finland. Now it's been turned into a musical project in which
Pasi and
Jussi explore the depths of ritual eroticism.
What we hear is a set of six laid-back songs with a lo-fi sound but refined old-school approach. Slooow rhythms, hum of amplifiers, bluesy splashes of vibrating guitars, subtle electronic tones and ghostly auditory hallucinations... Retired jazzmen on mushrooms and sedatives? A session of deep seductive self-hypnosis? Or a result of super hot sauna overdose?... In any case, a great collection of Finnish love-making music.
Jussi Saivo is also the member of such projects as
Tiermes and
Aural Holograms and a chief of his own
Saaren Levy label.
Pasi Mäkelä aside from performing with
Sabotanic Garden plays weird music as
PAM and co-operates the micro-label
Meteorismo.

PUSTOTA "Greatest Hits" CDR [ltd. 77]
A collection of the best pieces by the conceptual project
Pustota maintained by
Evgeniy Savenko (
Lunar Abyss, Hattifnatter, Boevye Cikady, etc.) to explore various forms of manifestation and convergence of the acoustic spaces and artifacts. Repeatedly amplified noise of old magnetic tape, work of tape-recorder mechanisms and technical faults, electro-magnetic interference, running through the tube cascades of the old amplifiers, impersonal urban and field recordings caught on cassette dictaphones - all this is tesselated in a sort of mosaic of textural sonic events. All compositions except one were previously released in extended forms by
BioSonar^Lo-End label in tiny editions of 7-15 cassettes with deliberately absurd handmade artwork.

X3D5 x NOISES OF RUSSIA "Theurgy" CDR [ltd. 77]
Dead Christ, letters of Escher, The Last Judgement, dark ambient with vodka, daemons of anxiety, feverish rhythmic noise with a rash on mucous, a rope, a bullet, icy haze and everything you are afraid to know about the fate of our Heavenly Homeland in the new album of
X3D5 x Noises Of Russia "Theurgy". The Gloom Of Motherland, how sweet it is, how homely!
"Our adversaries try to distinguish certain persons who are devoted to illicit arts, whom they call sorcerers, and who, they say, practise witchcraft, from others who seem to them worthy of praise because they practise theurgy. In truth, however, both classes are equally bound by the false rites of the demons when they worship under the names of angels" (Saint Augustine).
