Hidden-by-the-Wall Remix ( {AN} EeL Versio )

B1. Earthen Sea - Spectral Sky

Jasmin Mahmić, (who is also known for his Le Chocolat Noir project) returns with his absolute blackened industrial onslaught straight from the depths of the Balkans. Fiume takes us into a netherworld of  short circuited electronics, scrap yard soundscapes and foreboding, stark ,straight from your worst nightmare vocals. Barren wastelands, tropical depression, vast nothingness of the modern age, pillaged republics and metropolis' that have gone wrong, this is world downfall music. Let your own irrelevance stare you down in the mirror, minutes crawl like days, horror of life goes on. These are the sounds in your head, try to claw your way out. Limited to 250 copies worldwide

press release: 
MECHANICAL RITUALS: 23 years after his EP for Drone Records (DR-28, as CRAWL UNIT) we are proud to release another / new work of conceptual / minimal / object drone artist JOE COLLEY from California.   
We think JOE COLLEY (*1972) is a master of using mechanical object sounds and electronic static, but also strange low fi found found sources and field recordings, creating alienating, surrealistic effects, similar to the likes of SMALL CRUEL PARTY, JIM HAYNES, DAS SYNTHETISCHE MISCHGEWEBE or even the more experimental side of ZOVIET FRANCE...  
His newer compositions seem always to be filled with electro-magnetic hummings, strange hissing and the pourings of metallic objects as a basis, but you never find the use real instruments, synths, or masses of effect procession. Thus a very own scent of mystery appears, as all of these radiations are not really from this planet, without any "cosmic" connotations..
For the creator, these sounds are connected with unreal emotions of "Being Lost", a mistrust in what may be called reality, and a general feeling of alienation... - you can only wonder how this can result in such beautiful droning expanses.. 
Presented here are over 30 minutes of very best new COLLEY material (entitled   "Limit / Limit"  und "Always I / Always II") => through these drones of strangeness the mind is thrown inside an unrecognizable and confusing realm of broken electricity and something like audible-made atmospheric pressure.. 
Lim. 300 copies with artwork by dutch designer and micro label hero MEEUW, using a special silver print (on reverse board), BLACK vinyl. glossy black inner sleeves.

REVIEW:  "When Joe Colley speaks about his work and even about his life, he shrugs in an awkward attempt to stave off an existential frustration that not only his work addresses but also seems to consume his identity. There are numerous metaphors through his titles that allude to endless failures and a nihilism full of contempt, but Colley also implores a desperate urgency to express these poetics no matter how painful they may be. For three decades now, Colley has been a central and persistent figure in the California noise community. First recording under the moniker Crawl Unit and running the short-lived Povertech label, Colley presented a preternaturally strong acumen of electro-acoustic techniques and abstraction through a vast language of blistered textures, atonal noise, and gnarled drone. By 2000, he dropped the Crawl Unit moniker in favor of his own name with an ongoing discography of damaged yet exploratory electronics. 

Colley returns to Drone Records for this 10" on the Substantia Innominata series, many years after his Crawl Unit "Tuscon Mon Amour" 7." In describing "Acting As If," Colley offers a vague series of descriptors: unheimlich, terror of the familiar, and no faith in what is "real." Within the sustained movements of scrabbling textures, motorized abrasions, and uncomfortable harmonics, such conditions are made manifest and Colley amplifies them into something eeriely sublime. 
All of that held within a self-contained logic that works within and against his deep knowledge of drone-on minimalism, musique concrete dynamics, and the explosiveness of noise culture. His swarming masses, throttled rumbling, and smoldering tension are all encircling and folding in on themselves. Rhizomes of sound that speak poison. Drink up, if it doesn't kill you, it will only make you stronger. "- Jim Haynes / Northern California, 2023

JOE COLLEY - Limit (edit)

From the album The Thing Itself And Not The Myth
---------------------
First having read the book of myths,
and loaded the camera,
and checked the edge of the knife-blade,
I put on
the body-armor of black rubber
the absurd flippers
the grave and awkward mask.
I am having to do this
not like Cousteau with his
assiduous team
aboard the sun-flooded schooner
but here alone.
---------------------
From Diving Into The Wreck by Adrienne Rich
---------------------
An album made from sounds gathered underwater and along many shorelines. It is built from drones played by a synchronised swimming speaker broadcasting into a fjord, many spluttering radios, geese, and morse code.

The Nent - DIVANTAE [ Vū Remix ] 
MB///0005 

DIVANTAE is about transformation, that kind of transformation people can achieve only when alone, with themselves, their thoughts, in a solitary pine trees forest, and its spirit(s). 

The original track : started back in 2007 from a couple of synth lines. The real soul of the track arrived only in 2015 when Vince (The Nent) went alone in a forest of pines, to record the whispers of the trees, sing, and use trunks and branches as percussion on the spot, feeling one with the natural surrounding. 
On the way to the forest, while in a car, he also envisioned fast "camera movement" for the 3D visuals, being hypnotized by the pine trunks in perfect line, running fast in front of his eyes, and thought of how terrifying would have been to spot some white figure in between. Lately while jogging around the same area, imagined to see 3 alive figures, covered with white veils, gathering in a point, shrouded by shadows of other trees , evoking, in circle, some spirit or object of mysterious sort. 

The Remix ( of the unreleased track ) : in 2018 Vince, with his second solo project Vū ( more rhythmical and deeper compared to the digital and ethereal sound of The Nent), remixed Divantae to achieve a greater ritualistic feeling, adding extra layers of percussive parts, and Vū´s typical meditative mantra. 

The Master : to close this long and complicated process, in 2019 the excellent master was done by the lords of dark-ritual themselves, Vince´s inspiration and good friends : PACT INFERNAL. The track was also previewed in Nastika´s - Horo Vision Podcast 13.
