FFFC - Songs From The Lab

FFFC (Florence Foster Fan Club) are no strangers in our world of electronic music. Besides releases on their own the musicians behind this project are involved in numerous other projects… like Sumerian Fleet, Zarkoff and Le Chocolat Noir to name just a few. Recently they started operating out of an abandoned factory situated behind the (former) iron curtain… at this place they have collected all their synthesizers and started jamming… this 12″ EP is a selection from recordings from these sessions… throbbing techno and EBM beats are used as a basis for synth tapestries…resulting sometimes in trance indulging dance tracks but also in spacey soundtrack kind of pieces… a true trip!

FOQL ‎– Hypatia

FOQL is belonging to the same Polish electronic music collective as Marburg (see Gooiland 10: V/A – Club Funny Horse) but the sound of this project is truly different… in a way the Hypatia EP is delicate and even fragile maybe… it has the ritual feeling like some of the music by Coil has… next to that it has textures reminiscent of The Future Sound Of London… and in some ways FOQL fuses ambient, electronix and techno in the same way Kobosil sometimes does… in short.. this is a record for well informed and well educated music lovers…

Monocorpse - Ceremonie Caille

Hailing from Holland Monocorpse serves dark electronix/techno… extremely minimal, raw and primitive in sound and the tracks are ritual and occult in orientation and mood… think of the previous Gooiland Elektro releases by Drvg Cvltvre and Ekman but stripped down to the essence and pitch black… also comparisons with Ancient Methods have already been made… but these tracks have a nasty and dirty sound of their own… this 12″EP is something for the real freaks out there…

Normotone - Hiraeth

Normotone is the solo project of Bruno Laborde. Over the past 20 years, Bruno has formed part of Axonal Warfare (1994-1997) and Neon Cage Experiment (2003-2006), he worked with Architect on “Consume Adapt Create” as well as producing remixes for such artists as Black Egg, Polygon, HIV+, Ex_Tension, and signed on Tympanik Audio for his first solo album. A deeply personal new album of Normotone‘s sounds like a mixture of Ben Frost, Coil, Autechre, Death In June, Einsturzende Neubauten or Mondkopf.

Normotone now joins the Unknown Pleasures Records family to present his second album ‘Hiraeth‘. Each track featured on this album has its own story, while remaining an integral part of a cohesive album. Under the predominantly raw layers of cold electronica, apocalyptic folk, rhythmic noise, heavy glitchy rhythms and contemporary dark ambient music with a sonic edge. A collaborative effort among well-renowned artists including Black Egg, Sonic Area, Corina Nenuphar and Thomas ‘Lysis’ Brunaux.

Edition of 300 CD’s.

Neo Romantix Years

The death of Steve Strange gave us the urge to work on covers of Neo-Romantics/New Wave bands of the early 1980s. We have selected great covers of this period of great creativity with analogue synth wave / minimal wave gems. No remixes and no cheap dance music.

Comes in a lovely digipak 3 panels deluxe with artwork by Yannick Rault based on original picture by Graham Smith glossy imprint with selective varnish laquer.
