MURDA

in 2012 talented synth artists submitted tracks to Synth Scene Magazine for a 2nd zine/comp cd that never was produced. the money ran out after SS#1. here is that collection of songs submitted for SS#2... they need to be heard.

SS#2/ Beta Evers-Move In My Body Rhythm

(Lyrics)

Go Kill your self 
For everything  that you’ve done to me 
You never cared 
You always turned back and laughed at me 
You’re sinister 
So evil 
Abusive 
Go kill your self x8

I can’t breathe 
Emotional torment
Inflicting the pain onto myself 
Im the problem? 
Have I been truthful 
Or am I the cause of everything 

I am losing hope 
And I don’t care if I’m gone 
(If I’m am gone)

I am losing hope 
And I don’t care if I’m gone 
It’s been long since I’ve seen myself 
And I am lost can’t seem to grip my thoughts 
(Can’t seem to find myself)

ASE 

I am losing hope 
And I don’t care if I’m gone 
I am losing hope 
And I don’t care if I’m gone
(If I’m am gone)

MNQ 034 VARIOUS - THE END OF CIVILIZATION LP

Mannequin has the dual and parallel aim to unearth hidden or unpublished gems, running along a road that starts from the period of reference for this kind of music (late 70s – mid 80s) and comes to nowdays, with a vision deeply influence by Factory Records / 4AD labels. 

Catching the same spirit of such great labels, we asked to the italian synth wave princess Mushy to create a compilation starting from a tabula rasa. The mission was hard. Following her tastes and heart, she had to select a dozen of new bands from all over the world with unreleased and unique for this project tracks, picking up the title and realizing the graphic design and artwork. The full process of "The End Of Civilization" took almost 1 year but the result was touching us ￼deep into our soul. 

Mushy began her career crafting noise bursts and aggressive oblique instrumentals before, in her newest form, blooming into a beautiful, epic and heart-heavy icy synth sound, having both "Faded Heart" (2011) and "Breathless" (2012) as album of the week at Rough Trade. "The End Of Civilization" perfectly represents her double sided synth-wave / kraut-psychedelic soul. Every track she selected for us is an absolute highlight, moving from the analog minimal / cold wave sounds of Police Des Moeurs, ASSS, The Circa Tapes, TEEEL and Rosemary to the tempestuous post punk and psychedelia of Deathday, The Murder Act, Phosphor and The Strange Forces, ending with spectral cold folk of Tablets and The Long Wives.
