Limited / Numbered CD - Comes in luxurious 5 panel folder with metallic/black print, 19 x 14 cm, packaged in transparent bag
One year after the highly acclaimed "Dream Landscape" CD ANEMONE TUBE returns with the new concept album "Death over China".
No country in history has emerged as a major industrial power without creating a legacy of environmental damage that can take, if at all possible, decades to undo. China`s rise as an economic power has no clear parallel in history; thus, its pollution problem has shattered all precedent developments.
"Death over China" is a retaliation of nature against humankind. In the same moment it is a dedication to our untamed curiosity for the essence of death and our (inherent in our collective action) secret death wish. In China`s uncompromising economical and social development we see demonstrated, how we - even with the immolation of our health, environment and tradition - are the servants to material progress. Though we are aware of the approaching ecological disaster, we hazard the consequences. Sustainability is sacrificed on the altar of egoist quest for happiness. We consume, we destroy, we thrive, we conjure: "Deathly kingdom of desire, you sustain the life in me, Black death rise!"
Using field recordings, collected in Nanjing and Shanghai in 2007, ANEMONE TUBE creates an unsettling yet intriguing, apocalyptic soundtrack with a sinister atmosphere and a depressive undertone - a unique blend of dark ambient, post industrial and power electronics in the tradition of European industrial music.
"Death over China" is the second part of "The Suicide Series", for which field recordings provide a conceptional basis. In a poetic way ANEMONE TUBE combines analytical realism of the phenomenal world with buddhist psychology and nihilist rhetoric influenced by the works of Michael Haneke, Hayao Miyazaki, H.P. Lovecraft and Yukio Mishima.
All music recorded between July 2007 and December 2009. Mastered by JAMES PLOTKIN 2010.
Definitely ANEMONE TUBE`s best and most mature album yet.
Recorded within the bleak transitional period immediately prior to the sessions that would now become known as Bermuda Drain, Dominick Fernow sketched out four compositions which can only be framed as “ambient power electronics”.
For the past couple decades, Prurient (along with his revered Hospital Productions imprint) has tackled some of the most challenging aptitudes of experimental music and navigated the baggage that comes along with growth and maturity within the confines of noise.

Some of Fernow’s most destitute works to date, this release captures Prurient at its most vulnerable and sedate, reflective and rapt. Compositions that throw away that past decade of experience, only to start at the foundation of his art.
Original exclusive cover art collage by artist Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.
An anthropological document that fully achieves its purpose of formulating-fabricating-destroying the 'other' a la the opening De Quincey quote.
tThe social, moral, and artistic implications of a lynching text that is explicitly about a Caucasian male - the most fascinating element of the word-areas of Marty Page are those that reinterpret a historically racist act through the visor of an aesthete. More going on than meets the eye.
This is a real horrorshow, Marty Page reads like notes for extreme performance art or maybe a forbidden sacred text. Bladh’s background in multidisciplinary fields allows him to deliver a bleakly convincing script here.
Amphetamine Sulphate - Paperback Book (New)
Captagon is a short, forceful mashup of assorted texts detailing instances of wartime cruelty and institutional malfeasance. Broken up into brief chapters whose characters come and go across eras and continents, their whereabouts handily mapped out in an index at the back along with a list of all the author’s wide range of sources. Taking in art, music and literary criticism, the Philip Best worldview is consistently compelling but be aware, pretty it ain’t.
Gary Mundy is the founding member of Ramleh, and ran the legendary label Broken Flag. In this frank memoir, Mundy examines themes of alienation, depression, artistic practice and what it means to be alive.
