Astral Skulls Remixes

DARK (JANUARY 2017)

The glow distilled into exploding fireflys
Roads are long
Fields pass
The blue twilight comforting
I am dazed and even confused
But I realise that I love this life
On the road
My band
High on life
Twitching to go
To play
The electricity overwhelms me
It is immeasurable
1919........... Forever 
In honour of Mark Tighe RIP

We Know Who Owns It All - JANUARY 2017 - \\ Darkwave / Post Punk / Minimal Synth / Dark Electronics

Der Wille Zum Tod

Transfigure are a duo who are not easily defined. Imagine the vocal qualities of Saint Etienne, the chilling lyrics and melodies of Pet Shop Boys and the guitar riffs and attitude of New Order bound together with plenty of contemporary twists and turns and you’ll be close to picturing Transfigure’s signature sound.
What makes the pairing of Grace Blamire and Lewis Norvid stand out above the rest is their ability to write intricate songs. Structurally complex, fresh and stimulating which build layer upon layer to create a unique sound fit for stadiums.

Their debut album ‘Translation’ encapsulates the inner city pace of Newcastle upon Tyne, in which the pair grew up, through upbeat dance floor fillers such as ‘Tell me’ and ‘No Other Way’. However, you’d be wrong to presume that this is an album destined for nightclubs alone. There are some truly introspective moments throughout, such as the emotional composition ‘Hide Away’ which discusses the urge to shut your door to the rest of the world.

The diverse nature of the 8 track album doesn’t end there, with 7 minute anthem ‘Fields’ highlighting the effect that touring mainland Europe has had on them both and title track ‘Translation’ considering how they can bring their own visions of Europe home to a British society that is slowly drifting further away from reality.

BUY VINYL: http://www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/vinyl/east-wall-eyes-of-glass-12/

East Wall was an Italian electronic dark wave band formed by Fabrizio Chiari (ex keyboardist of Kirlian Camera) and Wilma Notari in 1982. After a series of demos  and live performances, the duo recruited Angelo Bergamini of Kirlian Camera to help with arrangement and synthesizers. In September 1984 they booked a recording time at Master Studio 33 in Cremona Italy. Working with produced Ray Masola, they recorded their debut single “Eyes Of Glass”, which was released on No Comment in early 1985. The equipment set up was a PPG Wave 2, Roland ProMars, Roland Juno 60, Simmons drum, and an upright piano. “Eyes Of Glass” is an outstanding example of 1980s Italo disco full of dark, moody atmosphere and depth. Wilma Notari’s coy vocals cast a spell on the listener as she weaves a story about lost love and “bitter tears”. Included here are the original extended 12” mix and instrumental version with mid-song breakdown and dubbed out chorus.

All songs are remastered for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Housed in the original jacket featuring a photo of a boy by Pushe 27.  Each copy includes a 2-sided postcard with photos of the band, lyrics, and liner notes by Flemming Dalum.

Astral Skulls vs Scattered Order - From the bones of Them Bones

from 'Turmalinturm [Remixes] [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den302
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/foghdepot]

Turmalinturm [remixes] is a scrupulous compilation of tracks inspired by the second Fogh Depot album released in October 2016 via Denovali Records. The idea was to compile pieces both from artists of the Denovali roster and of the booming Russian electronic scene.

The Tourmaline tower is crashed. A new town is being raised at its place, eclectic in architecture, but of a monolithic mood. Get ready for a dense atmospheric mix of magnetic darkness and genuine delicacy. This is an example of seductive and at the same time disturbing tunes at the confluence of drone, ambient, IDM and live electronica. The collection absorbes works of the most skillful producers of this noble genre demanding extreme precision.

Half of the London-based duo «Piano Interrupted» and also successful solo musician Franz Kirmann provides a shard of pure romanсе from Albion’s shore, while the experienced Moscow artist Dima Ustinov delicately and gently dissects the modal harmony of the track «Meduse». The prolific Sardinian producer Saffronkeira adds a detached, ephemeral and otherworldly piece and master of techno hymns Moa Pillar contributes a horror-drone remix of Quicksilver Spoon. For those who want to dance there is Monokle - an eclectic musician from Saint Petersburg - decomposing «Meduse» into a bassy club track. The Siberian dark lord of modular synthesizers Hmot totally deconstructs Oscar and literally distills all the piercing dramatic effect from the track, while an emotional and powerful piece by John Lemke, gloomy, affective and catchy, closes the remix album. 

The Tourmaline tower is crashed. But the town made of its remnants is no less fascinating than the original.

Light Noises is last hurrah for a solo incarnation of Astral Skulls - the next releases will be in full band mode. I had this one ready to go and decided I wanted to make sure it got a release. 

You might notice it's a bit less subtle than my usual stuff. At the end of 2016 my Dad died in hospital due to cancer-related illness. There were long periods that he was in hospital over the years leading up to his passing. One of the major battles that I faced personally were feelings that, while I wanted him to live forever, I wanted his pain (and ours) to end. I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with these feelings and to move past the guilt surrounding them. There were times that I avoided visiting him because I couldn't face it again, and times that I missed that I wish I was there for, especially the moment that he passed away.
