The Eastern Front, Dark Ambient, Noise, Neo-Folk, Occult, Czech Republic; (2005) Limited Numbered CD - Ex Used condition
A great deal of mysteries revolve around the historical figure of Count Alessandro di Cagliostro (1743-1795); from his questioned identity as a charlatan called Joseph Balsam (or is it Giuseppe Balsamo?), to the unknown information about the “Egyptian Rites” Freemasonry (and Freemasonry in general) and the rituals it is said to include which are inspired by the ancient Egyptian culture. This album seems to be a tribute to his colorful life in the form of dark ambient with noise, narrated samples and some folk music; just the kind of album you’d want to research about. The album seems like a journey through Cagliostro’s life (or is it his attempt for an afterlife?) There is much to investigate here, and the deeper you go the less you’ll understand. It’s hard to find information about this act, since it’s an unknown debut album, so all I can say is that someone called Stephan V. Friedman wrote the lyrics and music and that there is a limited amount of copies.

The Necks, Australia, Soundtrack, Film Score, Jazz, Improv, Haunting; CD Digipak - Ex Used condition
The Necks ominously haunting soundtrack to Rowan Woods 1998 film 'The Boys' is as downright uncomfortable as the film itself. This is about as emotive as film soundtrack music gets. Just like the film, this soundtrack creeps under your skin and leaves you hanging in nervous anticipation. Stunning.....

Experimental, World Music, Ambient, Industrial, Australia, Extreme; CD - Ex Used condition
Formed in Australia, 1992 - the (then) three members, Darrin Verhagen, Charles and François Tétaz seeing the band as a vehicle for pursuing their musical interests. Their debut CD Bloody Tourist reflected this range, traversing ambient, ethnic, rock, funk and industrial styles. Seen by some critics as a swipe against the tasteful world music fad gripping the chill out rooms and tofu burger bars, Bloody Tourist set the blueprint for the band's lack of preciousness regarding genre "swing and mesh". Released on legendary "Extreme' Label, this release also features David Brown (Candlesnuffer).

“WWUUFFWWUUFFWWUUFF” is the third Struggle At The Snuggle Factory solo album created in 2006 by Portland,Oregon based synth player/vocal-artist Demian Rufus. Developing a plane of consistency along the lines of a post-Indie militant postindustrial d.i.y. neo-folk synth-power plop aesthetic, these songs construct the Deleuze and Guattari influence with a creative act of telling parallel folk-tales of Luciferianism, Masochism, Love, Kainian mythologies, Becoming-pup-beast-man, possessed dogs like “Omen Dog”, and even a re-writing of “Satisfaction” with “Satsf-faktion”.
Melbourne, Experimental, Field Recordings, Pop, Synaesthesia, Avant Garde; CD - Ex Used condition
Francis Plagne's second self titled release presents strange and visual evocations of different places, and the variety of different spaces that shift throughout its 91 minutes. There are claustrophobic spaces, and wide-open vistas conjured through the use of field recordings. Francis Plagne is like looking out the window of a bus as the scenery unfolds. It’s easy to attach metaphors to his sprawling work, but it’s bewildering to discern exactly where Francis is coming from, probably because he’s coming from everywhere at once. You could say it’s a schizophrenic musical identity, but I’d say it’s really just glee and enthusiasm that drive it all. It’s a gleeful act of appropriation, but with such a unique spin on music, it’s hard to label it as merely that. Francis Plagne is forward thinking in its take on the notion of music being everywhere, if you just listen, in the streets, your house, and the park. Francis Plagne is everywhere and everything ; it’s cluttered, but sounds purposefully this way. The title of the track ‘A Chance Exposure To A Distant Rumbling’ reflects one of Francis’ chief aims; random moments in sound coming together all in one place, creating spaces, letting songs form beneath and between their folds. It’s an act of cutting and pasting, a monumental process of trial and error, considering just how many sounds make up his opaque pieces.
