Turksib is the fourth long player from Bristol-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Guy Bartell, AKA Bronnt Industries Kapital. The album marks Bronnt’s first full length release since 2009’s Hard For Justice (released on Berlin’s Get Physical Records), praised as a “pumped up and muscle-shirted Eurodisco epic” by The Wire. 

Turksib is taken from Bartell’s soundtrack to the acclaimed Russian film of the same name (1929, dir. Viktor Turin), commissioned by the British Film Institute and released as the centrepiece of The Soviet Influence: From Turksib to Nightmail, a collection of films looking at the influence of Soviet propaganda on British filmmaking. 

Turksib explores the clash of man, nature and machine in the building of the massive Siberia - Turkestan railway (one of the great achievements of the first Soviet Five Year Plan) through one of the most inhospitable deserts in the world, and is a picture of the civilisation of man versus the savagery of stark nature. Bronnt’s soundtrack takes a similarly epic sonic journey, pitching the metrical, electrical roar of industrialization against the primitive folk drones and interwoven melodies of the natural order.

AIOTM Audio Extra 1: Ram-Packed. After 5 years apart, the AIOTM team are reunited and it's like they've never been away. As well as recording the kickstarted video episode of the show (which will be released in 2017) the whacky funsters put together this bonus, topical audio podcast, created under the ridiculous last minute structure of the original series. This is NOT what you paid your kickstarter money for. This one (given we were in the theatre anyway) cost us NOTHING. And it sounds like it. Topics under discussion include Keiths, headphone jacks and poor-taste 9/11 tributes. Christian rallies behind Donald Trump in song and Richard provides his own contribution to the BBC Sitcom celebration. I mean who wants to see old comedy formats put back together years after they passed their sell-by date...? And find out what kind of umpkins the cool kids are interested in in futuristic 2016.

Carlos Giffoni
VAIN
iDEAL170 LP
Edition of 500 copies (200 coloured, 300 black)
Distributed by Boomkat

VAIN is the soundtrack to a film in Carlos’ head of the same name. Both the film and the LP are about a young woman with mysterious psychokinetic powers, lost in the deserts and beaches of California trying to find answers to her mysterious past. The music score follows Vain in a fantastic journey that changes her world forever. 

Despite having release over 50 solo recordings and collaborations released, Vain is only Carlos’ 4th official full length LP release, following Welcome Home (Important Records), Arrogance (No Fun Productions), and Adult Life (No Fun Productions.) It is also his first release of any kind in 6 years. Carlos took off from New York in 2012 and moved to LA to take a break from everything and everyone and work on some secret projects. He continued to play music sporadically with collaborators, and finally started recording this new album on his home studio in Malibu during Summer of 2017 inspired by heartbreak and deceit, where all great art comes from.  

The 9 tracks on this record were created with a variety of analog equipment, with no computer effects or instrument overdubs. The final material was selected from dozens of hours of recordings, with final mastering touches by Al Carlson, who Carlos previously worked with on in his Software/Mexican Summer ‘Evidence’ EP.

The cover is an original painting by american artist Wiley Wallace, commissioned for this release.
