Commissioned by Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma to write the music for their opera based on Charles Darwin and his book 'On the Origin of the Species', The Knife decided to make this a collaborative process, working with artists Mt. Sims and Planningtorock for the first time, to capture the huge width of the Darwin and evolution theme.

MNQ 052 ROYAL FAMILY AND THE POOR - THE TEMPLE OF THE 13TH TRIBE LP

The Royal Family & The Poor is the nomenclature adopted by Mike Keane, who recorded for Factory Records between 1980 and 1986. "The Project Phase 1  - The Temple of the 13th Tribe", released in 1984 (FACT 95) was produced in Manchester by Joy Divison and New Order bassist Peter Hook. Featuring the violinist John Neesham (of Walking Seeds and Mel-o-Tones) and the keyboard player Lita Hira from labelmates Stockholm Monsters, the album was done only after plenty of ups and downs in Keane's own life as well as numerous personnel shifts and incarnations, but the end results were a sometimes delicate and often enthralling combination. 

The combination of TR 808 and other drums, reverbed vocals, and aural mystery is all permeated by Keane's interest in the occult, while Hook's technological know-how adds a sharp rhythmic punch to tracks such as "Dark And Light", "Radio Egypt" and "Discipline". Other tracks include one of Mike Keane's best known songs, the affecting ballad "I Love You (Restrained in a Moment)", and the sinister, vocodered "Motherland".  

Perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory Records, The Royal Family and the Poor remain for many an (oc)cult enigma, releasing only four albums in two decades, and rarely performing live after 1984. 

A lost classic, highly recommended for fans of Joy Division, New Order, Section 25, Durutti Column, Death In June.

Groove It Out on Bleep

Groove It Out (Ekoplekz Replekz)

The night dissolves into light. Consciousness reconstructs itself through signal and sound.

-- ABOUT Ouroboros: --

Ouroboros is a continuous loop of sound and sensation ... a Synthwave album built around renewal, decay, and the quiet pull of repetition. Across eight tracks, it moves from ritualistic lows to neon-soaked highs, tracing the arc of a system that’s always collapsing and rebuilding itself.

Pulsing basslines, glowing arpeggios, and atmospheric vocals that hover between human and machine, creating a seamless cycle that feels both ancient and futuristic ... the hum of an old myth running through modern circuits.

It’s not about nostalgia, exactly. Ouroboros sounds like memory folding back on itself ... the moment when light turns to echo, and echo turns to life again. Enjoy the ride!

First single off Double Sun - the new album from Kanaan:

https://elparaisorecords.com/releases/kanaan-double-sun

Kanaan from Oslo, Norway is back with their 2nd album in 2020. Following the impromptu Odense Sessions with Causa Sui guitarist Jonas Munk released in February, Double Sun is a different beast all together: Treading the same path as their 2018 debut Windborne, Double Sun is a studio effort in the best sense of the word. Perfectly balanced on the edge of dynamic improv, throbbing beats sizzled in scorching fuzz and topped off with deeply layered soundscapes. This album sees Kanaan reach a new plateau.

Kanaan presents a unique perspective to psychedelic rock, painting with a wide palette that includes jazz and post-rock. Double Sun devotes as much energy to sonic colour as it does to groove and energy. The spirit of experimentation is everywhere: From the savory, pastoral sounds of opening track Worlds Together, to the soaring exploratory paths of the two-part title track. In the creative process, Kanaan dived deep into the possibilities of the studio, adding intricate layers and twists and turns to these tunes: acoustic guitars, percussions & synthesizers embrace and enhance the Norwegian modern day version of a power-trio. 

Ask Vatn Strøm: Electric and acoustic guitars. 
Ingvald André Vassbø: Drums, percussion and organ. 
Eskild Myrvoll: Bass, synths, electric and acoustic guitars.
“Double Sun pt. 1 & 2” features lead guitar from Bjørn Klakegg.

LE VILLEJUIF UNDERGROUND - Ghost Of The Water

Jennifer Touch - Behind The Wall

Equally at home on and off the dancefloor, its cold sensuality is both vibrant and brooding. Showcasing her unique sound in the saturated world of electronica, Touch successfully draws from electropop and disco influences, combining 80’s vintage synths with industrial soundscapes, delivered with a visceral post-punk snarl.
