This album includes several poems by Yeats from The Wind Among The Reeds (1899) and some poems from The Rose (1893).
Through the mystical figure of the famous Irish poet W.B. Yeats, this musical production reflects the tragic nature of romanticism, the obsessive quest for unconditional dreaming and crazy love in the cold and rough reality.
Here, the experimental instrumentation expresses this confrontation between these two worlds, the traditional folklore, without artifices, and the technology of rhythm boxes and synthesizers, steamroller of the modern musical world.
This demiurgic dichotomy, this creative opposition is more than necessary to generate the work of romantic poets, because it is in this disjunction, this divorce with the modern world and the inability to overcome it, that magic works.

After two excellent LPs, ISOLATIONSGEMEINSCHAFT from Berlin are hitting it big on their third album START. STOP. ZURÜCK. Deadpan observations of life under too-late capitalism are set to pulsating, bubbling analogue synth tracks – sometimes elegiac, often danceable, occasionally sliding into EBM («Schwelle») or even Italo («Zufall») territory, at other times intercut by sharp krautfunk guitars («Funklöcher»).
START. STOP. ZURÜCK. is as sparse as it is varied, steeped in early continental electronic post punk but never falling into the retro trap. This is maximum minimal wave forged in the crucible of D.I.Y. punk and hardcore, and it shows. Guaranteed to haunt dancefloors from your grubby squat basements to your glam goth discos for years to come.

“ACMÉ” is an exploration of introspection, delving into the universal pursuit of balance and intensity that defines different moments in our lives. With French lyrics, it captures the fleeting instant when everything aligns—not as something that fades, but as a pulse that continues to echo, shaping what comes next.

A dark new mini-EP invoking the shadows of possession, witchcraft, black magic, necromancy, and the relentless gaze of the Inquisition. A return to the primal roots of horror disco: one unholy track, flanked by an ominous intro and a haunting outro. Conceived and recorded in the witching hours of Beltane night, 2025—a ritual in sound, where the veil is thinnest and every beat summons a whisper from beyond.
Enjoy this exquisite offering.

And then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons fill up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss. People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: “How strange! But never mind—it’s Nazism, it will pass!” And they wait, and they hope; and they hide the truth from themselves, that it is barbarism, the supreme barbarism, the crowning barbarism that sums up all the daily barbarisms; that it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.
One skill that you master while working at an abattoir is disassociation. You learn to become numb to death and to suffering. Instead of thinking about cows as entire beings, you separate them into their saleable, edible body parts. It doesn’t just make the job easier – it’s necessary for survival.
