Triple X or XXX Organisation, changing finally to Inner-X-Musick in 1986, was a small label started in 1979 releasing mostly cassettes with a few 7"s and 12"s (similar to the Broken Flag label started around the same time to release Skullflower and Ramleh). Their roster included Cult Ov The Womb, Noizeclot, Controlled Bleeding, Mahcanik, Bloodclot and numerous compilations (with early appearances by Merzbow) but the majority of releases being Sleep Chamber (Boston) of whom Jonathan Briley was also a member with this being his first solo album. Most of the stuff spat out by these labels is sick; experimental, industrial, dark and disturbing...

"man it's good...completely inept, like they're barely pulling it off, total 13-year-old-metal-kid-in-the-basement drums."
A classic, but a 'damaged' outsider Black Metal classic as far as we're concerned, this is definitely raw and necro and kvlt and grim, buzzing and black, but it also struggles and stumbles, is blown out, lo-fi and weird as fuck. (Aquarius Records)

Ilpo Vaisanen of Pan Sonic and Dirk Dresselhaus (aka Schneider TM) have recorded as Angel before, exploring the realms of noise and drone with discs on the Bip-Hop and Oral labels, bringing in guest cellist Hildur Guonadottir for the latter. Now they're officially a trio, and offer up a fantastic third album, released on Editions Mego, where this four part, hour long, totally epic album fits in nicely alongside the digitaldoomdrone likes of O'Malley and Rehberg's KTL.

The dreamy, folk-rock soundtrack from German experimental rock band Popol Vuh to Werner Herzog's atmospheric version of Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979) starring Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula. Nosferatu is the tenth album by Popol Vuh and was released as the original motion picture soundtrack of Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht by director Werner Herzog. It was originally released in 1978.

Previously available on a long since lost, extremely limited cdr back in 2005. Diebold combines a simple, time-tested, user-friendly interface(drums,bass) with years of research into the potentialities of various signal-processing devices to create a stable, accessible system that anyone can understand. Using the popular and well-known concepts of 'riff', 'feedback' and 'distortion', Diebold translates these through it's patented bi-amplification routing architecture, allowing for a powerful and resilient, stereophonic interpretation of basic gestures.

Unicorn is the brainchild of W.T. Nelson, a longtime member of Bastard Noise and Sleestak . Here, he serves up seven tracks of grey clouds and soft light, where melodic lines skate across a surface of disturbing drones and scathing noise. Brilliantly beautiful, falling somewhere between the Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do material from Sigur Rós, the ghostly guitar based drone music of Troum, and the more musical moments of Nelson's work in Bastard Noise. Dreamy, ethereal piano, deep bass drones and minimal synth burn, buried noise carnage barely audible beneath a blanket of sunlit tones.
