SenkWaves - A Senkrecht Compilation Vol. 3

Two years after the previous edition, here comes the third (and probably last) volume of our glamorous compilation cassette series. 10 bands from 8 countries from Europe and North America, with exclusive songs, previously unreleased tracks and songs that were released online/digital only, now it’s the first time in physical format. A great selection from the contemporary international minimal synth / darkwave / coldwave / wave body music community.

Cawatana - Beyond The Glory

The long awaited new album from Cawatana is finally released. Almost exactly 4 years after the previous album, Victory Of Regret, which contained 8 reworked songs from the band’s history, here are another 8 reworked tracks on the new album Beyond The Glory.

This year there is the 25th anniversary of the first Cawatana EP, the 15th anniversary of the “returning” mini album Advocation For Privileges, the 10th anniversary of the EP/mini album Decline Of Privileges, and 5th anniversary of the first concert with the new setup. The new album is dedicated to all these events; it includes songs from all the three mentioned releases in new versions, with the same setup/equipment that was used on the concert. Musically it goes in the same direction as the previous album: analog minimal electronics with darkwave/coldwave/minimal wave influences, this time without acoustic guitars, just analog synths and drum machines (and vocals with vocoder).

Cawatana - Victory Of Regret

8 tracks from the 20-year history of Cawatana, in brand new versions, re-created with the new equipment of the band. Dark folk acoustic guitars merge with darkwave/postpunk/minimal wave sounds of analogue synths and drum machines, forming a bridge between acoustic and electronic, highlighting the best of both worlds.
