MNQ 057 The Actor - Exploded View LP / Cassette

We are really proud to announce the reissue of one of the most important Dutch Wave bands THE ACTOR, with their seminal 1982 tape "EXPLODED VIEW". "In the beginning of the eighties, a new phenomenon emerged: home taping. This way of recording resulted in a lot of noise. But that was less important then getting one’s music out to the public. A well known label for cassette bands in those days was the dutch Trumpett Tapes. They were the first to publish the music of The Actor, who became their top selling cassette band in 1982 and 1983. The Actor’s first release was Exploded View in 1982. The songs – sung both in English and German – often related to fashion, modernism, dancing and appearence. This made The Actor “quite fashionable."

LP Edition of 500 copies.
Tape Edition of 120 copies.

Limited silskcreen art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

Remastered from the original tapes by Rude 66, The Netherlands, 2014.

BC Camplight - Just Because I Love You

Lyrics: 

Darkness holds a secret
Unseen by human eye
Deep into the wastelands
Another spectral kind

The skies are burning red
The sun is bloody bright
But soon the dark will fall
Its time to raise your knife

Darkness weaves a passage
Into the other side
Another vivid nightmare
A gruesome cold disguise

The night is drawing near
The moon is rising high
Your mortal dreams now buried
Your heart filled by fright

DUST - "C U In Hell" (Suicide Commando Cover)

Pre order your copy: bit.ly/1v9GKkV

Official release date 11/11/2014

Void Vision is a Philadelphia-based electronic project helmed by Shari Vari. It began around 2009 at a time when a wave of synth-revivalists were materializing, but the quality of the songwriting and intense vocals set the band apart from the pack. In a rare instance, Void Vision has managed to combine vintage dance elements with melodic structures, haunting melancholy, and lyrics that have a palpable soul. The songs themselves are dynamic, referencing a cross-section of the last 30 years of electronic music, while simultaneously retaining a uniqueness all their own.

Wierd Records weekly club night in New York, which showcased a variety of talented electronic and coldwave artists, served as an incubator for Void Vision in it’s early stages. After a standout debut performance at the club, they immediately caught the attention of Blind Prophet Records, who consequently released their first 7″ single, ‘In 20 Years’, which received excellent reviews.

Vari has continued performing and recording steadily over the last few years, releasing songs on compilations for various labels, including Rough Trade, and in 2012 the song ‘Everything is Fine’ was selected for Artforum magazine’s ‘Best of 2012′ issue. In 2013, Void Vision toured the West Coast and later that year released a split 12″ with Portland-based band, Vice Device. The first official full-length album, entitled ‘Sub Rosa’ is set to debut on Berlin-based Mannequin Records, followed by a European tour in 2015.

Shari Vari formed Void Vision in 2009 originally as a duo, during the explosion of the new minimal synth and cold wave scene in United States. Sharing the same scene of the Wierd Records associates like Led Er Est, Martial Canterel, Xeno & Oaklander, Automelodi, in 2010 VV released ‘In Twenty Years’ on Blind Prophet (Sean Ragon’s Cult Of Youth record label), receiving also the attention of the Rough Trade dudes, who asked to put out a track for one of their synth wave compilations.
After other split vinyls, tapes and compilations, Mannequin approached Shari with the intention to continue what Wierd Records started, giving a proper shape to her beautiful and youthful dark electronic sound. The result is 10 hypnotic cold analog tracks dominated by the warm and fragile Shari’s voice, some more “pop orientated” some others belonging to the original “cold wave” atmosphere.

“Sub Rosa” is an edition of 400 copies on 160 gram black vinyl and 100 copies on 160 gram white vinyl.

Limited silskcreen hand numbered art edition for the first 50 copies, 160 gram white vinyl.

Strand Of Oaks covers Ryan Adams' "My Wrecking Ball"

The talented Alhek brings us an EP, constructed of 3 tracks, and as he likes to call it himself, "the antidote to a day's pain". For that moment, for the climax of the night; for the people that don't ask anything else other than to live; To live a true trip riding on the boundaries of insanity of their own consciousness. 

Alhek gives us two very distinct tracks that are guaranteed to inspire and intrigue not only the underground techno scene but in general the whole electronica domain. The first track "Numbing" contruscts an atmosphere of uncertainty if not almost fear. It's like gambling sanity at the edge of cliff. Bewildering modulating pads bring a sense of urgency as the wailing synth gives an unremitting feeling of insecurity. Just the name of the second track, "Inertia", pretty much describes the essence of this composition. A superb & somnolent driving techno track that is almost sedative in its nature. This time we have the skilful and dexterous Ness remixing "Inertia". Taking an already compelling composition he adds a new dimension making the remix deep and hypnotic yet very intriguing and energetic. 

When you listen to this EP your heart pulsates to the groove, your blood boils for the rhythm and your soul lingers from one side of the room to the other. It almost reminds us of a film or a video set in the 90's where a human being, without the use of drugs, succeeded in penetrating the depths of their own intimacy.
