This is a compilation of artists not constrained by musical label or ghetto.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Tor Lundvall - Ghost Years (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23273"Ghost Years" is TOR LUNDVALL's first retrospective CD featuring tracks from various compilations and vinyl-only releases, plus some unreleased material. The focus is mostly on his vocal work, however there are a few instrumental pieces included as well. Although the music spans about a decade, you will be surprised at how well the tracks flow together to make a coherent ensemble, evolving from Lundvall's earlier song-oriented compositions to the more ambient nature of his recent recordings.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Devolution Magazine - Issue No. 24 (Magazine+CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23271Interviews With:MESHstOrkEVESTUSMY RUIN - Tairrie B & Mick MurphyLive Reviews:DEVOLUTION XMAS PARTY 2009 WITH PORTRAIT & LIVE GALLERIESHELLFIRE FESTIVAL IIALICE IN CHAINSMARILYN MANSONDOPE STARS INCNAPALM DEATHPANIC CELLMONSTER MAGNETDRAGONFORCEPARADISE LOSTDevo Girl Interview & Full Page Poster:FAEArtwork Feature By:GOTHIC FALL ARTWORKFashion By:FOLKS GARMENTS - 7 PAGE SPREADTWILIGHT BEAUTY - MAKEUP INSPIRED BY THE TWILIGHT MOVIESModel Spotlight:HALO HAYNESPhotographer Spotlight:KAININE PHOTOGRAPHYBurlesque Spotlight:AMBER SWEETFeatures On:SAINT OR SINNER? - MISTER SAMTIM BURTON - MUSEUM OF MODERN ART EXHIBIT - NEW YORKGOTH IN THE MAINSTREAM FEATUREJOHN DAVIS - BODYPAINTERBlaggers Corner:GENKI GEAR - T SHIRTS, BADGES & CARDSTWILIGHT BEAUTY MAKE UP (WORTH RRP ALMOST £60.00)And all the usual:VOCAL KHORDZ LETTERS PAGE, DEVO-TED READERS, ALBUM, CD, DVD, ZINE, DEMO REVIEWS & MUCH MOREFREE 16 Track CD featuring EVESTUS, PURITAN SLAIN, MARTYR DA MONA, COLT 44, ALICE MOVING UNDER SKIES, THE KAMIKAZIES, DIVINE SINN, FEUD, HARLOTS OF BEYOND, PATCHWORK GRACE, ILLIDIANCE, PARESIS, LEON, STENCH, JOE BLACK & THE LVRS (Exclusive track from TAIRRIE B & MICK MURPHY)Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Visage - The Face - The Very Best of Visage (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23270Who could have imagined that a few kids in the 70s, fed up with punk, would open a nightclub - The Blitz, in Covent Garden - that would pioneer a style of music that would become one of the most resilient and successful genres of the next few decades? As we reach the end of the '00s heading into the '10s, Electropop is still one of the most successful styles around. MGMT, LA ROUX, LADY GAGA, LITTLE BOOTS, LADYHAWKE, these artists now top the year end polls just as VISAGE, SOFT CELL, HUMAN LEAGUE and DEPECHE MODE did before them.It's now 30 years since VISAGE released the seminal "Fade to Grey". It was a huge dancefloor hit, topping the charts in the UK and Europe. It's a track that defines the 80s, that instantly transports you back to the time of the Blitz Kids, those New Romantic vanguards whose painted faces and rococo attire littered the pages of Vogue and The Face. To celebrate this anniversary comes the release of this 'Greatest Hits' package featuring 2009 remixes of "Fade to Grey" by Lee Mortimer and Michael Gray of THE WEEKEND and BORDERLINE fame, alongside VISAGE's complete chart-topping hit singles as well as some of the classic and highly sought after dance remixes.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000The Jesus and Mary Chain - Darklands (LP Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23269The second album from the brothers Reid, originally released in 1987, "Darklands" is more accessible and hooky than "Psychocandy", leaving most of the feedback and some of the noise behind to focus on the songs, making a clear break from the legendary debut album. With tracks such as "April Skies", "Darklands", "Happy When It Rains" and "Nine Million Rainy Days" the Reids proved they had plenty of great songs in them and wouldn't be boxed in by the past. An all out classic, now re-issued on 180g vinyl.Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000John Foxx - Burning Car/20th Century (Limited 12" Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23268John Foxx has teamed up with DUBTERROR and KARBORN to produce a new limited edition "Burning Car/20th Century" vinyl release.

Otherwise they wouldn't all be sold out...This digipak is a MUST-BUY for anyone who doesn't yet own any FADERHEAD CDs or who has an incomplete collection!Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000U-Tek - Das Mass der Dinge (Limited CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23266When it comes to classic EBM tunes, no list would be complete without the German club hit "Das Mass der Dinge" by U-TEK.

Infacted Recordings present part 9(!) of the all time classics collection of EBM hits on another fourteen-track full length CD, fully digitally remastered.

With life-affirming lyrics and stellar production it lifts off at full tilt and takes us on a journey to the heart of 2010.  The diversity, ambition and direction of the new album highlights GOLDFRAPP as true agenda-setters and modern British musical icons. "Head First" follows the critically acclaimed "Seventh Tree", which saw the NME describe GOLDFRAPP as "having done the seemingly impossible and become even more fantasy fabulous" and as "sublime, anthemic pop" by The Independent. It is the latest in a brilliantly consistent body of work - from the captivating electronic balladry of Mercury nominated debut "Felt Mountain" and its distorted dancefloor follow-up, "Black Cherry", to the glitterball glamour of "Supernature" which came out in summer 2005 and went on to sell over a million copies worldwide.GOLDFRAPP will take "Head First" on tour later in 2010 - following the massive acclaim for both the "Supernature" and "Seventh Tree" tours and festival appearances around the world, GOLDFRAPP have underlined their reputation as one of the most transcendent and inventive live bands around. The vinyl edition also includes a copy of the CD release.Mon, 22 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Goldfrapp - Head First (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23259Genre-smashing musical pioneers GOLDFRAPP return with their brand new album "Head First".  The duo's fifth album is GOLDFRAPP's most powerful trip to date, a speedy rush of synth optimism, euphoria, fantasy and romance.

So here it is once again, in regular jewel box this time, the album that marked the first release of the Italian cult group on Out of Line.The centrepiece of this album is a modern and seriously club-compatible reinvention of the group's classic hit "Heldenplatz", combined with an array of ALL NEW songs that can easily stand in line with some of KIRLIAN CAMERA's biggest classics. On tracks like "E.D.O.", the band mingle memorable melodies with powerful electronics and an irrepressible lust for sonic experimentation, all carried by the impressive vocal presence of Elena Alice Fossi. Elena and Angelo Bergamini have created a dense net of electronic sounds that pull you into their unique atmosphere but that will work on a dancefloor just as well, while still retaining the spirit and feeling of the classic KIRLIAN CAMERA hits. Also features a cover of PINK FLOYD's "Julia Dream", the new version of KIRLIAN CAMERA's classic single "Edges" (originally from 1984) and the FOTONOVELA Remix of "K-Pax".Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Reflexion - Edge (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23257With album number three, Finnish dark alternative metal band REFLEXION have delivered quite a smasher! Thudding tribal drums and massive, deep guitar riffs infuse the band's dark melodic hit tunes with a refreshing kick that pleasantly distinguishes itself from the over produced kitsch that most of their fellow countrymen are sporting. This time around REFLEXION are playing it rough, spiffing up even their slow songs with Sabbath-esque doom riffs and toying with complex song structures that often border on prog metal, but without ever losing track of the catchy, often gloomy melodies that made their first two albums nearly impossible to resist. "Edge" revels in dark atmosphere and hit qualities but will probably cause some serious head banging attacks with metal veterans as well, due to a much harder approach.Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Lord of the Lost - Fears (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23256Sometimes it needs an earthquake to blow the dust from a genre that is way past its prime. The term 'Gothic Metal' has become more and more of a farce in the past couple of years, drowning in a sea of plastic pomp, embarrassing aggro-poses and soft rock drivel. Enter LORD OF THE LOST, the band fronted by 'Mr. 1000 Voices' Chris Harms, which ignores the genre’s clichés and impresses with an energetic mix of hit compatible melodies, dark atmosphere and impulsive aggression. Chris Harms is an extremely versatile vocalist and might tingle your spine with his deep timbre one moment, only to raise sonic hell with hefty growls and piercing screams the next. LORD OF THE LOST create their very own niche bridging the gap between headbanging inferno, glam rock charm and dark romance with enthralling, catchy songs that are infused with an irresistible energy. As the missing link between gothic and MARILYN MANSON, the Hamburg-based band are unleashing an avalanche that will be hard to stop! Praise the LORD OF THE LOST!Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Kiew - Mental [Per]mutation (2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23255Welcome to a new audio therapy in the electro madhouse! On "Mental [Per]mutation", our favourite patients dive deeper into the everyday life of the institution, unearthing a sonic rollercoaster ride of thudding mutated dancefloor industrial hybrids ("Käferfrühstück", "Mister 29" and many more), acoustic experiments, and instrumentals with a soundtrack-like feel (the "Retrograd" series.) During the course of the album, the listener will gain deep insights into psychoacoustic excerpts from the patients' files, strange new forms of therapy and numerous soliloquies, often between multiple personalities."Mental [Per]mutation" includes a second disc on which special cases from outside the institution (among them the NYC techno legend LENNY DEE) have gained access to KiEw's sound files to inject them with their very own madness. Welcome to Disco Dementia! Only one question remains: are the musicians mad or is it the listener?Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Various Artists - Industrial for the Masses Volume 4 (Limited 2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23254Industrial for the clubs, massive bass garnished with tons of noise for the dancefloor!

The perfect fusion of harsh industrial and dance floor compatible techno club sounds, "Industrial For The Masses Vol. 4" brings together the cream of the crop in hard electronic sounds on an infernal compilation.As a special bonus, the set includes a maxi CD from the promising new German industrial project MÆLSTROM INC.Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000CombiChrist - Scarred (MCD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23252COMBICHRIST, the post-apocalyptic electro act that are currently touring Europe with RAMMSTEIN, have announced a brand new menacing club smash in form of "Scarred", the third single from the highly successful album release "Today We Are All Demons".LIMP BIZKIT's Wes Borland has spiced up the massive new single version of the track with some smashing guitar work. The hellish new maxi CD features this searing reinvention alongside three other new mixes and the album version of the title track. To top things off, "Scarred" also contains the red hot new track "Parental Content", a perfect appetizer for the new album that is projected for release in late summer 2010.Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Nine Inch Nails - Digital Lines Shirt (S) (T-Shirt)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23250High quality t-shirt featuring front and back print.

A sunset over a desolated land in which frontiers move from FRONT 242 to CALVA Y NADA, from à;GRUMH to NITZER EBB, from DAF to ABSOLUTE BODY CONTROL. The long-awaited debut release from MEKANIK DISORDER shows, in twelve awesome tracks, its strong personality inside the current old-school EBM scene. Cold and visceral electronics as a last way to escape from feelings, expressed in four languages - English, German, Spanish and Dutch - in an extraordinary variety of tempos, melodies and vocal ranges.Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Hioctan - Under Control (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23245HIOCTAN have always been a band far away from any conformity or social conventions. "Under Control" is their third longplayer and the typical HIOCTAN sound still kicks ass. Classic dark electro, combining harsh sounds and distorted vocals (as well as choirs and kettledrums) with melancholically arranged strings, culminating in an album full of corroding interhuman feelings. Honest music for honest people! "Under Control" does not even try to keep up with modern trends - in particular, the audio engineering was put into special focus in order to create a sound more transparent than on any HIOCTAN release before. And as ever, their lyrics are very critical towards social issues. The track "Aim of Life" deals with all the people who try to live in line with social conventions - bound to rules they are forced to obey - waiting for the end to come in the neverending spiral of time. "Passion of Cruelty" denounces the persecution of heathens, while "Sonderbehandlung 14f13" addresses genocide during WWII.Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Psyborg Corp - The Mechanical Renaissance (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23244The Colombian cyber/industrial/dark electro project PSYBORG CORP is ready to attack! Their debut "The Mechanical Renaissance" proves perfectly that powerful beats, catchy melodies and a snotty cyberpunk attitude in combination with imaginative SciFi themes do not necessarily have to come from Europe or the US. Prepare to get blown away by an attack on your ears and feet and keep in mind: PSYBORG CORP - one of the most promising newcomers on the current industrial scene.Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000CeDigest - Walking in the Flesh (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23243The official CEDIGEST debut, "Walking in the Flesh", is one of the most suprising releases of 2010! Originally founded as a digital hardcore act, the current sound of CEDIGEST can be best described as 'Terror-EBM' or 'Symphonic Industrial Metal'. The band skillfully manage to include a wide range of musical influences into their work including classical, trance, metal and so on and in so doing, walk a completely new path with their sound. PSYCLON NINE and DAWN OF ASHES tried to do this - but CEDIGEST finally managed it! With this album, they prove that they are nothing less than one of the most promising acts on the worldwide industrial scene.Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000The Stranglers - Decades Apart (2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23242New STRANGLERS compilation featuring two brand new tracks ("Retro Rockets" and "I Don’t See the World Like You Do") and packed with their massive hits and greatest album tracks, this set includes at least one track from each of their 16 albums.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Sehnsucht - Wüste (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23241Former MAYHEM front man Maniac, whose band SKITLIV has proved to be a surprising departure from the Black Metal genre for which he was best known for over 20 years, has formed a side-project with fiancée Vivian Slaughter, bass player/vocalist with the Japanese all-girl band GALLHAMMER, SKITLIV's guitarist Ingvar Magnusson and experimentalist Andrew Liles (of NURSE WITH WOUND). Unlike SKITLIV, which is a noise/doom amalgam, with Maniac's vocals still firmly rooted in Black Metal, SEHNSUCHT is in the noise/darkwave/ambient genre, with any vestiges of Black Metal pared away.Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Absurd Minds - Serve or Suffer (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23240For ten years, East German darkwave/electro project ABSURD MINDS, brainchild of singer Stefan Grossman, have played on national and international stages.  Having started as a home studio project by Tilo Ladwig and Stefan Grossman, the way of the band rapidly changed in 1999 with their first gig at the scene club 'Bunker' in Dresden: it ended with a contract with the label Scanner run by Frank d'Angelo.Their very first release, 2000's album "Deception", struck with great force into the world of the dark scene.  Several albums and singles have been released over the following years. Based on their initial success and the progress they made, they were given a permanent place in the alternative music business. Stylistically inspired by the electro of the early 90s, the music of ABSURD MINDS is a successful synthesis of melodic pop, powerful EBM and profound lyrics, forming a coherent unit unparalleled so far.Due to that style ABSURD MINDS now have a very large and enthusiastic global fan base and the success story of the boys from Dresden is bound to continue when a new chapter is opened with the release of the new album "Serve or Suffer". Ten years after "Brainwash" they prove that they have not lost any of their energy or independence. "Serve or Suffer" surprises with a well-executed fusion of melodies, emotional diversity and memorable compositions. Unmistakable ABSURD MINDS!The highlight of the early year 2010.Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Destroid - Silent World (Limited MCD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23239DESTROID have recognized the signs of times and consequently offer an exciting mix of classic EBM with crunchy synth elements. Their musical spectrum ranges from dancefloor burners to sensitive ballads.The band founded in summer 2003 consisted of Daniel Myer (vocals, production, programming) and Sebastian Ullmann (production, live keyboard, programming). Their fist album, "Future Prophecies", released in the autumn of the same year, went straight into the DAC Top Ten.  After this impressive debut, the second longplayer was released in October 2007. "Loudspeaker" was first successfully introduced to the masses on a European tour with Painbastard and [:SITD:], followed by worldwide shows including the USA, Russia, Australia and at various festivals.  This album also achieved success in the DAC (German Alternative Charts), with a peak position of number three.In 2010, DESTROID have now completed their latest work, the "Silent World" EP, which will include guest vocals by Sven Friedrich (ZERAPHINE) and remixes by [:SITD:] and ASSEMBLAGE 23.Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Jarboe - Alchemic [Argentinian Import] (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23238JARBOE is a solo artist who came to prominence in the mid-1980s with the New York City-based group SWANS. With founder Michael Gira, she was at the core of the group until they broke up in 1998. She continues to release numerous solo albums and collaborations.To say much more than this about JARBOE is not really neccesary, as she is one of the best known underground artists of the NY scene and has collaborated with countless others, including KIRLIAN CAMERA, LUSTMORD, BACKWORLD, THREAD, ASP & CHAMBER...  Now she has signed with Twilight Records to offer the audience and fans an amazing solo conceptual album.  "'Alchemic' features trance-like compositions created entirely by me working alone. They explore an atmospheric rhythm creating tonal voices and invite the listener to lose themselves within them." – JARBOELimited to 1000 copies in a deluxe digipak.Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Quimera Music - Love and Madness [Argentinian Import] (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23237QUIMERA MUSIC's debut studio album, "Love and Madness" is the follow up to her first single "Face to Face" written by Quimera and Patrick Rundbladh, and also to a special release single (not album related) called "When Tomorrow Comes", that she wrote to benefit children from The Smile Train charity, for which she is a spokesperson."Love And Madness" reflects Quimera's unique style mix of classical baroque, gothic and symphonic sounds, carefully crafted int powerful music that is paired with lyrics of deep meaning.  The songs on "Love and Madness" are epic enough to be in a Hollywood film... no cookie cutter here. There is also a shiver-inducing symphonic gothic rendition of "Ave Maria".The artist states "'Love and Madness' is more than my debut album, it is my own revelation of love, fear, hope, and the touch of madness which I believe is inherent within all powerful feelings. I want my music to inspire others, to take them places in their minds, and maybe even help them go through whatever difficult thing they may be going through, perhaps things they can't even speak about to anyone. Music is the only way I know to express the inexpressible.""Love and Madness" includes songs by Quimera and Patrick Rundbladh, as well as songs by guest composers Francesco Tedesco, Troy Maturo and KaoSoi.Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Oda Relicta - Holy Alliance [Argentinian Import] (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23236ODA RELICTA strike again... and this time is with a new full-length album."Holy Alliance" is the brand new release from this great act, who make emotional music combined with martial, epic and sacred elements - an alliance of Military Brass Orchestra marches and Ensemble of Ancient Music epos.  It is strictly limited to 500 copies in a deluxe black digipak with gold print.Mon, 08 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000John Foxx - My Lost City (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23235Most of the material on this album was recorded at Foxx's Shoreditch studio, The Garden, between 1981 – 1985. "I hadn't listened to the recordings that are being released as the "My Lost City" album since they were made, over twenty years ago", says Foxx. "When I played them I was struck by the way they evoke a time and a place - and how I'd been unaware of this when they were made. Then they seemed like fragments, unfinished and unsatisfying. A stop on the way to somewhere else.  Now they seem like a time capsule discovered from under the streets. Made by someone else. Like an old radio tuned into a long gone station. Curious psychic electricals, crackling distantly from the speakers.""They were recorded in East London. Back then, Shoreditch and Spitalfields were abandoned, dark and forgotten, yet only a step away from the City of London, the country's financial dynamo. I built a studio in the basement of an old Edwardian department store – trees growing from the upper storeys when we moved in. I remember trying to make connections in this little laboratory between synthesizers and hymns and cities, churches, electricity and memory."For two decades the material remained untouched; just some old, forgotten tapes buried away in storage until they were rescued in late 2008. Apart from some minor remixing, they're essentially the sound of analogue synthesizers and a lost era when the area around the now bustling, brutally hip and ultra-expensive Hoxton Square was still an abandoned, deserted area of London. A kind of industrial ghost-town. In recent years, John Foxx has been experimenting as a filmmaker (including a pioneering video for L.F.O. and recent performances of his Super 8 project TINY COLOUR MOVIES in Melbourne, London and Barcelona), as an artist (with exhibitions in London and New York and his images being used on the covers of books by Anthony Burgess and Salman Rushdie), and he's now developing a growing international reputation as a writer – last year he headlined a major literary festival where he reads extracts from his as yet unfinished novel "The Quiet Man". He is currently working on new material with Paul Daley (LEFTFIELD) and Benge.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Inertia - Kloned (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23234INERTIA are back!  After a three year absence since 2007's well received "Inertia" album, the band return with a brand new release "Kloned"."Kloned" is an album of cover versions by INERTIA executed in their own inimitable brand of electro industrial, with male and female vocals.  The band tackle some of their favourite songs from over the years, some for musical reasons, some purely for the fun of it, including the likes of T-REX, THE BEATLES, FALCO, NICK CAVE, DURAN DURAN, THE SPARKS, CONCRETE BLONDE, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, ELVIS PRESLEY, SELENA & DAVID BYRNE and DEPECHE MODE.This collection of wonderful songs, some well known classics, others more obscure findings, are bound to spawn a whole host of new dancefloor hits for INERTIA.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Menschdefekt - The Human Parasite (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23233MENSCHDEFEKT was established in Germany as a solo project of Dominik R. in 2004. In February of 2009, Fredrik became a permanent member  of the lineup, as lyricist and vocalist. Stylistically the sound mainly moves between electro, industrial and gothic. However, MENSCHDEFEKT are also influenced by different genres such as trance, futurepop and others. The lyrics are deliberately constructed to be socially critical and provocative in order to reflect the name 'Menschdefekt'. Fredrik's vocals are aggressive, and usually significantly distorted. The lyrics deal with such topics as war, nationalism/ fascism, murder, consumer consumption and our wasteful society. The human psyche plays a major role in the development of the lyrics. Movie quotes placed in the songs add to their bizarre quality, conveying a sense of insanity and absurdity.MENSCHDEFEKT's first album, "Realitaetsverlust" was produced and distributed in 2006, as the result of request from a friend's request for the album to be made. The second album "Degeneration" followed in the middle of 2007, showcasing even clearer song structures and a more sophisticated sound.  MENSCHDEFEKT went on to win the AESTHETIC PERFECTION Remix Contest in March of 2008 with their version of "Schadenfreude" should have appeared on the album "A Violent Emotion", but the bonus CD which was expected to contain the remix was never published by Bractune/Out of Line (although the remix does appear on the Japanese Limited Edition of the album from Death Watch Asia).Since gaining first place in this remix competition, MENSCHDEFEKT's popularity has risen astronomically. The song "Stalingrad" was created in late summer of 2008, from the mutual cooperation between MENSCHDEFEKT, STAHLNEBEL and BLACK SELKET, and proved to be MENSCHDEFEKT's much-needed breakthrough. The track was soon playing across the dancefloors, and in a flash national as well as international clubs had jumped on the bandwagonIt is also played on different webradio programs.  In August 2009 MENSCHDEFEKT finally got signed to Infacted Recordings for the release of their first official album, "The Human Parasite".Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000X Marks The Pedwalk - Inner Zone Journey (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23232X MARKS THE PEDWALK are back... back for good!

Packed with a further ten tracks plus five remixes, "Jabberwock" is an excellent album in its own right, and is presented complete with the original 8-panel booklet.  The entire package comes in a specially-designed six-panel digipak combining elements of the artwork of both albums. Strictly limited to 100 copies, this 2CD Japanese Limited Edition is of incredible value and destined to become an instant collector's item.Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000Panic Lift - Witness to Our Collapse [Japanese Limited Edition] (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23229At Death Watch Asia, they are always on the look out for the best new acts from around the world, of which PANIC LIFT is most definitely one. With its perfect production and memorable melodic hooks, "Witness to our Collapse" is one of those rare albums where almost every track could be a single. All the more amazing when remembering that this is PANIC LIFT's debut!This is a harsh-EBM/dark electro album, certainly – and full of incredibly powerful tracks that would instantly fill any club dancefloor – but with so much variety that it keeps the listener's attention fully engaged from start to finish. Pounding beats and sequencers, aggressive distorted vocals – the trademarks of the harsh EBM genre are all here. But so too are trip-hop beats, piano and guitars, more reminiscent of NINE INCH NAILS.Formed in New York in 2006, PANIC LIFT self-released an EP "Dancing Through the Ashes" which quickly sold out as the act moved swiftly to the forefront of the harsh EBM/dark electro scene in America, playing with artists such as COMBICHRIST, AYRIA and MODULATE. A stateside record deal with HIVE followed, leading to the American release in August 2008 of PANIC LIFT's debut full-length album "Witness To Our Collapse".  Later in 2008, PANIC LIFT were signed by German label Black Rain/NoiTekk for the European release of the album.DWA's Japanese Limited Edition comes in a six-panel digipak with eight-panel folding insert, complete with previously unpublished photos from the sessions for the US/European artwork.  Also included are the full lyrics for the entire album - also previously unavailable on any other version! A true collector's item of a debut album that truly re-defines the dark electro/harsh EBM genre!Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0000Dope Stars Inc. - 21st Century Slave [Japanese Limited Edition] (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23228DOPE STARS INC.'s first 2 albums "Neuromance" and "Gigahearts" achieved massive sales and media attention across Europe and the US, gaining chart positions in many countries. But their third album "21st Century Slave" is their strongest ever.In the midst of the current global economic collapse, blamed by most on the excesses of corporate greed, the timing could not be more appropriate for the socio-political message of "21st Century Slave". Welcome to DOPE STARS INC.'s dystopian vision of the world of today, where we are either tools of technology and giant uncaring corporations, or where we embrace the system to fight it from within.  With "21st Century Slave", DOPE STARS INC. take up the cyberpunk themes of cult authors like William Gibson and give them musical form. An awe-inspiring collision of programmed electronics, heavy rock guitars and punk aggression, all perfectly produced by charismatic frontman Victor Love.  From the throbbing industrial dance beats of the ominous opening call to arms "Omega Drones", to the unexpectedly sweet acoustic pop melodies of the final song "Its For You", the album twists and turns but never disappoints. Both diverse and decisive in its musical choices, "21st Century Slave" embraces industrial, nu-metal and electro influences, but always finds a convergence that is uniquely DOPE STARS INC.This special Japanese edition, released through Death Watch Asia, features three extra tracks in addition the eleven tracks of the standard European edition: remixes from Tokyo industrial rock act BAAL, Osaka-based SINS OF THE FLESH and South American superstars VIGILANTE.  It comes in a six-panel digipak with sixteen-page colour booklet, four-panel inser with Japanese liner notes and obi.  IN beautifully-designed artwork, Victor Love' musical and lyrical vision is perfectly illustrated by digital artist Rhett Podersoo, whose depiction of our modern urban environment resonates with the visual aesthetic of Ridley Scott's "Bladerunner". Dirty cityscapes and harsh neon oppress us as attack helicopters patrol the polluted skies... and DOPE STARS INC. and their star emblem oversee all from rooftops and TV screens.Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0100Bak XIII - Best of Bak XIII [Japanese Limited Edition] (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23227BAK XIII are the dark electro/new wave powerhouse from Switzerland, combining modern industrial production with classic old-school EBM sequencing: 21st Century music with punk attitude and a retro feel evidenced by song-titles like "80s Are Back Forever" and "New Wave Party".  In Europe, BAK XIII have toured with such top names on the electro-industrial scene as SUICIDE COMMANDO, FRONT 242 and DAS ICH, and have remixed or been remixed by top artists like PSYCHE, HIV+ and THE NEON JUDGEMENT.In 2008, Death Watch Asia invited BAK XIII programmer Baron Von Smock to Japan to present his ambient-industrial solo project MUSIC FOR THE SPACE live in Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, and as guest DJ for leading dark scene event 'Tokyo Dark Castle' in Shinjuku.  Now they are proud to present a world exclusive 'Greatest Hits Collection' of BAK XIII celebrating the prolific musical career of Switzerland's best-known electro-industrial act!Originally formed in Geneva in 2001 as a duo by Baron Von Smock and DDDmix (vocals, programming), since 2003 BAK XIII have operated as a trio with guitarists Garf (2003-2006) and Tenebras (2007-2009) adding metal riffs to the mix.  During this period they have also released a new studio album almost every year: "In Cauda Venenum" (2003), "Post Lucem Tenebrae" (2004), "Morituri Te Salutant" (2005), "Vae Victis" (2006) and "Ultima Ratio Regum" (2008), plus the 2006 EP "Dead Again".

"The Minimal Wave Tapes" is the first official anthology of minimal wave music from this label. Most of the songs were originally released on limited edition cassettes or vinyl by the artists themselves, and only a handful of people knew about them. They've been remastered from their analog source tapes and compiled here by Minimal Wave's Veronica Vasicka and Stones Throw Records's Peanut Butter Wolf.The label itself was founded in New York City in 2005 by Veronika Vasicka, who focused solely on obscure minimal wave recordings, remastering and releasing them on limited vinyl and digital.  "The Minimal Wave Tapes" fits neatly into Stones Throw's own tradition of compiling or reissuing the independent music of the past which influences the independent music we make today.  This compilation is essential for fans of the likes of KRAFTWERK, CABARET VOLTAIRE, THROBBING GRISTLE, DEVO, GLASS CANDY and NITE JEWEL.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Genocide Organ - Leichenlinie 1989-2009 (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=2321820 years have passed since "Leichenlinie" was released for the first time (the first EVER release on Tesco!), and it has now been 10 years since it was released for the second time. And now it shines again as the totally remastered 20 years anniversary edition. Complete with two additional tracks, recorded around the same time and formerly released on the Monochrome Meditator MC only (SSSM/Japan 1991). This material is one of the most wanted records of all time in this genre!And even today, "Leichenlinie" remains an outstanding release in the german post-industrial music genre. The well-balanced music contains power electronic rhythm-based tracks as well as dark drowning ambient pieces with haunting samples. Tracks like "Klaus Barbie", "Mind Control" and "Come Orgasm" have been played on many radio stations and at many clubs and parties for the past 20 years. The two additional tracks, so far unknown to the majority, are fitting perfectly to the line-up of the early industrial rhythm-driven sound of the band. The CD comes in a nice spot varnished digipak with the logo embossed on the front cover.  This album is still a milestone in Europeon "post industrial" music, letting loose a new creative energy in a genre which was thought to be dead.Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Changes - Lament (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23217CHANGES' R. N. Taylor and Nicholas Tesluk have sung of new love, love unrequited and love lost.  They've written songs painting sonic imagery foretelling a dark apocalyptic future, and even as this came to pass, they prophesyed a society in the seminal stages of an even darker fate. With their new album, "Lament", they turn their gaze inward, to their own personal apocalypses, stemming from their long marriages ending in dismal dissolution. They tell of their dark, oppressive inner worlds that sought to drive them beyond the brink of despair.  Only by being able to immerse themselves in their art and create works expressing these sorrows would they be able to maintain their sanity. "Lament" reaches out to all who've had their lives disrupted by modern societal partners going through mid-life crises, becoming antagonistic strangers to their families overnight.Also included are new versions of three of CHANGES' earlier works: "The Saddest Thing", "Sweet Eve" and "Memorabilia", included as these songs merged well with the album's concept.Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Tho-So-Aa - Identify (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23216"Identify" is the long-awaited ambient masterpiece from THO-SO-AA, finally ready after seven years in the making.This is the German outfit's most complex and dense album to date. Some of the tracks portray threatening collages and experimental loops, so close to the difference between freedom and captivity. Other tracks are surrounded by melancholic soundscapes and dark bass drones inspired by desperation and total sadness.In recent Years Lutz Rach has spent much time working with sounds to perfect these thick layers and drones that have never surfaced in his music before. This is no longer pure dark ambient music, it is enriched by industrial elements, the experimental use of classical instruments, voice samples and a general cry against isolation. The dark soundscapes expose a very cynical point of view on our sick society, describing the unknown pressure to identify with yourself...The wait was worth it, with this THO-SO-AA delivers his masterpiece to date.Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Classix Nouveaux - The Liberty Singles Collection (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23215CLASSIX NOUVEAUX formed from the ashes of X RAY SPEX when the band auditioned for a new front person in the Melody Maker after the sudden departure of their wild wailer POLY STYRENE. The enigmatic SAL SOLO was chosen by guitarist Jak Airport and drummer BP Hurding and with the addition of bassist Mik Sweeney from Sal's previous band THE NEWS, a soon-to-be cult band was born. Their heavily made up, theatrical image led them to be quickly associated with the New Romantic movement as they filled the alternative dance floor with their synth-driven beats, though their sound was more guitar-oriented than that of their peers JAPAN and ULTRAVOX. "The Liberty Singles Collection", featuring both A and B sides (some of which have never been on CD before), is a must have for any fan of CLASSIX NOUVEAUX, and a perfect starting point for anyone who has missed this criminally ignored band.Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Lustmord - [TRANSMUTED] (MLP Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23214Even MORE dub remixes from LUSTMORD's highly acclaimed "[ o t h e r ]" album – this time by Justin K.

By constructing their musical pallet from their own experiences, exploring multiple sub-cultures, meeting different people and artists, and incorporating all these numerous impressions and visual influences into their own work, PSY'AVIAH are truly an artistic force to be reckoned with.  Altogether a refreshing and successful recipe for this third album so perfectly and aptly entitled "Eclectric"! And it's no surprise to us that PSY'AVIAH hits a very diversified audience with their music reaching fans of electronic music but also of more alternative pop rock tunes and even dark industrial wave.Emélie's sensual and emotional female vocals give a delicious taste of purity to Yves' futuristic vicious synths and ferocious upbeat electronic arrangements. An exploding cocktail of attractions and contradictions braving all the rules of what should be forbidden, fusing modern techno with melodic pop rock, poignant dark EBM sequences with ambient relaxing moments.  PSY'AVIAH will surely again perplex music journalists who desperately try to pigeonhole them into a specific musical genre/category.  Regardless of definitions and genres, PSY'AVIAH will above all bring us splendid emotional moments with their more down-tempo moody songs in the likes of "Blackhole", "Attract/Reject" and "Something Evil", while pushing us straight onto the dancefloors with new club hits "Anger Management", the provocative "No Excuse" and the dynamic and poppy "Keep Hope Alive".Faithful to their concept, the Belgian act also continue developing a network of fruitful collaborations bringing us this time impressive results on "Ophélie" featuring Jean-Luc De Meyer of FRONT 242 as guest 'poet' and the dancefloor filler "Into The Game" with Jennifer Parkin of AYRIA as lead vocalist.The deluxe limited edition of the album also features many more collaborations on the "Eclectricism" bonus disc on which PSY'AVIAH push back the boundaries even further, taking the opportunity to display more ENYA-esque moments while going totally harsh dark elektro at other times.

Each re-release has both the fully remastered version of the original album (with special bonus material) on disc one and on the second disc, totally rewritten and re-interpreted versioms of some selected songs from the original album re-recorded with current technologies.Once again, the "Retention No. 3" box includes two complementary albums: the first of which is the "Solitary Confinement" CD remastered by Claus Larsen himself, giving a stronger and wider sound to this chef d'oeuvre while staying very faithful to the original work. The original tracklist has also been extended to 16 tracks with the addition of tracks from the "Material" EP.Next comes the "Voluntary Confinement" CD which gathers some 10 selected tracks taken from disc one, totally re-written and re-recorded by LEAETHER STRIP in the 2009 upgraded Strip Farm studio, benefiting from today's technologies and Claus Larsen's acquired expertise through the decades. Add to this two brand new songs with "Voluntary Confinement" and "The AEnd", as well as a very cool melodic "Taeknopop" version of the interstellar hit "Strap Me Down"."Solitary Confinement" is without any doubt the album that has forever seated the Danish artist on the throne of classic dark EBM. An album frothing with countless club hits in the likes of "Strap Me Down", "Adrenalin Rush" and "Evil Speaks"... an album that established LEAETHER STRIP as THE reference point for aggressive electronics with distorted vocals performed with a strong sense for melody and carrying choruses.  The fully extended power blast is a guarantee for LEAETHER STRIP's faithful and ever growing fanbase.

Keep the fire burning!"Necrologio" is the first ever THE HOUSE OF USHER DVD and offers more than three hours of video material with many never-before released video tracks and a total of four hours of audio material, including many rare and previously unreleased tracks and hundreds of photos, many of them also never released before.Wed, 20 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Massive Attack - Heligoland (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23206MASSIVE ATTACK are a seminal group of musical innovators whose early work detonated the Bristol music scene of the early 90s and unwittingly gave birth to 'trip-hop'. The group formed in 1987 around their influential and legendary Dug Out Club and Jamaican-style soundsystem. The club played a groundbreaking blend of hip hop, new wave reggae, early house and techno which shaped their hugely acclaimed 1991 debut, "Blue Lines". Their fifth studio album "Heligoland" features guest vocals from Damon Albarn, Hope Sandoval, Martina Topley-Bird, Guy Garvey and Tunde Adebimpe.  Long time cohort Horace Andy makes a return alongside MASSIVE ATTACK founding members Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall.  Damon also plays bass on "Flat of the Blade" and keyboards on "Splitting the Atom" while PORTISHEAD's Adrian Utley plays guitar on "Saturday Come Slow".  The band also collaborated with DFA's Tim Goldsworthy on selected tracks.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Hot Chip - One Life Stand (CD+DVD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23205HOT CHIP are back with their stunning fourth studio album. "One Life Stand" is a full-blooded leap into the unknown, an album that is awash with HOT CHIP's trademark creative bravery and a searing emotional intensity from the first track to the last. Indeed, "One Life Stand" is by far and away HOT CHIP's most complete body of work to date, an album that is more cohesive and more soulful than 2007's ambidextrous "Made in the Dark" and more ambitious than 2005's Mercury-nominated and Grammy Award-nominated "The Warning". "One Life Stand" is an album that establishes HOT CHIP as one of the most relevant and creative bands of our era. With Joe Goddard, Alexis Taylor, Felix Martin, Al Doyle and Owen Clarke at the helm it is no surprise that they borrow, create and take inspiration from a plethora of influences. "One Life Stand" sees a proliferation of influences as diverse as the burgeoning UK funky scene to soul music, modern R&B, northern soul, gospel, golden age electronica, detroit house, southern soul, the sounds of ARTHUR RUSSELL, PRINCE and THEO PARISH, and they all sit effortlessly alongside the band's signature pop aesthetics, wild electronics, off-kilter beats and intoxicating musical experimentation in a way that only HOT CHIP can execute. The songs for "One Life Stand" were largely written around the piano, the Wurlitzer, or the Prophet keyboard, and demoed at Alexis' and Joe's respective home studios. They were then taken to Lanark Studio which Al and Felix own and run, to be fully produced and fleshed out with the three remaining band members. In addition, recording contributions from legendary innovators of their respective fields Charles Hayward (THIS HEAT), and Fimber Bravo (STEEL'N'SKIN), as well as newer musicians Leo Taylor (THE INVISIBLE), and string arrangers and experimental composers Emma Smith and Vince Sipprell (GEESE), were added to elevate the record further. The finished record is HOT CHIP's most up-front, coherent and melodically bold release to date; an uncluttered, warm and soulful, uplifting and heart-on-sleeve collection. Featuring the archetypal Hot Chip song, title track and first single, "One Life Stand", built on a metronomic but pulsing groove, and reaching up to a joyously simple/naive chorus of monogamous embracement, the album is from start to finish one of love - euphoric, nostalgic, brotherly, realistic even. It is mainly a sequence of club stompers - from the anthemic "Hand Me Down Your Love" to the life-affirming absurdist black humour of "I Feel Better" - tempered with the contemplative, tender realism of "Slush", and the romantic melancholy of "Alley Cats". Take it in, if you will; it's all for you.Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Hot Chip - One Life Stand (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23204HOT CHIP are back with their stunning fourth studio album.

Todd passionately blends old school European synthpop, cold wave and post-punk into a modern, atmospheric, accessible darkwave sound. Imagine the "Disintegration"-era of THE CURE with more emphasis on the electronics.  Todd's previous life was as a co-conspirator in VELVET ACID CHRIST, co-writing and performing on 2006's "Lust for Blood", which ranked at the top of Germany's DAC for 4 weeks; the album's single "Wound", ranked on the DAC's singles chart for 7 weeks and held the #1 position for 4 weeks."I started The Twilight Garden shortly after I finished working with Bryan Erickson of VAC," Todd explains. "Like myself, Bryan also can be quite depressive, misanthropic, wary and alienated. We related easily, and from our mutual interest in music sprang the album 'Lust for Blood'. After the completion of that album, I had so much else I wanted to do and say - many ideas and things I needed to put into tangible form - so I began the creation of what would become 'A World We Pretend'. During the recording, there were moments of sadness, happiness, loneliness, and bliss - as with everything I experience or create. All moments are fleeting, and all things end. When put into a recording though, something transient can be fixed in time and given extended life. It reflects an instant which can never again exist, and even more spectacularly, music allows that energy to live in someone else for a time. The title track is largely about the beauty of the moment and the anguish that comes along with fate: a mix of ecstasy and emptiness."The album explores the darker side of truth as it mirrors life: the weight of inevitability, sadness, frustration, indifference, anger, loneliness, claustrophobia, etc. Todd ponders the desperation of time, sands falling through the hourglass, the end creeping forward, and our own powerlessness in the face of finality. There is a deep sense of sorrow in the music, a haunted awareness that time is running out. "I can never seem to rid myself of this feeling for more than a flitting moment," Todd says. "It's just a part of my life. Nothing can last forever, and all things will pass. I do my best to find beauty in the struggle of human existence - to find little pieces of joy or wonder. I believe some of that has been captured on this album."The sweeping sound is warm and emotional yet at times filled with a deep chill. Instrumentation is predominately synth-based with guitars providing a swirling wall of texture: melodic at times, yet mainly harmonic and organic. Spellbinding drums are slightly repetitive and almost dance-like. Vocals range from a soft whisper to full verbal onslaught. Overall, "A World We Pretend" is a passionate outpouring of deep and enduring melancholy. Poetic and flowing, the album provides beautiful atmospheres of stark images and emotion.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000In Strict Confidence - La Parade Monstrueuse (Limited 2CD Box Set)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23202The curtain rises for a parade of the glamorous and fascinating freaks, celebrating the dark side of life in a morbid cabaret.IN STRICT CONFIDENCE are back again.

The title of the group's newest (album-length!) EP, "The Magic in My Heart Is Dead" is pretty programmatic for the horror trip that awaits: unapologetic beats, cold and aggressive screams and a dark atmosphere that make for a sonic scare-fest leaving no place for sunlight. What distinguishes GOD MODULE from most of their genre colleagues are the skilfully implemented melodic trance licks and the new wave and synthpop influences that conjure up little specks of brightness in the midst of all the pandemonium, providing their trip to hell with an amazingly catchy touch.The US-based group's standout qualities are firmly set in stone on the five new tracks on this new CD. A further six versatile remixes from trademark names on the electronic scene such as ASHBURY HEIGHTS, AESTHETIC PERFECTION and PROJECT PITCHFORK top off this massive electro inferno...This release is VERY LIMITED, with only 1000 copies available, so order quickly.  A perfect appetizer for the upcoming new album!Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Kriminal Minds - Resistance Against... (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23196When a hard electro legend such as Racso Agroyam (sound wizard of HOCICO) takes a band under his wing you can be sure that it must be a rather special act indeed. The Mexican group KRIMINAL MINDS ignore all 'evil' Hellectro clichés and choose instead to celebrate music as an uncontrollable outcry of rage against oppression, the system and the dismal world we live in. With ultra-brutal shouts, versatile arrangements and a musical bandwidth spanning from club-compatible beats to all-out noisy industrial onslaughts, "Resistance Against..." is a sonic pamphlet that will shake up more than just your floorboards. Of course, Racso Agroyam's production is omnipresent but KRIMINAL MINDS have so many interesting ideas of their own and are so full of irresistible rage that their music is much more than a mere 'little brother of Hocico'.  At a time when almost all hard electro bands tend to sound the same, KRIMINAL MINDS are refreshingly versatile, candid and sport an honest brutality!Dance the resistance!Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000X-Divide - X (MCD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23195Infacted Recordings and producer Vasi Vallis (FROZEN PLASMA, NAMNAMBULU) present a brand new electropop artist!

Accompanied by psychedelic guitar riffs, this album is far more song-based than their debut album and SEELENLICHT follow the neoclassical path with sophistication and dynamism. From the social abyss of humanity and bittersweet murder ballads, to dark rune-prayers and the absurdity and brutality of World War One upon the bloody fields of Flanders‚ "Love and Murder" also devotes attention to Romantic literature by setting to music the poetry of Novalis and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Guests including Dev (WHILE ANGELS WATCH), Josef Klumb (VON THRONSTAHL) and Wulf Ingessunu (WODEN'S FOLK) complete the apocalyptic cocktail of darkfolk and neoclassical.Packaged in a digipak with a booklet sleeve and 16-page booklet inside.Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Peter Hope & Jonathan S Podmore Method - Dry Hip Rotation (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23192Material by Peter Hope (ex THE BOX, a CLOCK DVA offshoot) recorded with CABARET VOLTAIRE's Richard H Kirk, David Harrow and Jonathan S Podmore. Somewhere in between EBM and industrial, this classic stands out as one of the most original albums ever recorded. Digitally remastered for this release by Kevin Metcalfe, and including a bonus track.Using mainly household objects and very few real instruments, the album was recorded within a few days in England in 1986 with guests such as Charlie Collins of CLOCK DVA and Alan Fisch of HULA. Hope and Podmore wanted to record an album that went beyond the known structures of rhythmic electronic music - something utterly original and unknown before. "Dry Hip Rotation" still stands as a totally unique recording that cannot be classified by any musical genre or style.Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Atomine Elektrine - Archimetrical Universe [Re-Mixed] (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23191Re-mixed version of "Archimetrical Universe", including the bonus tracks from the extra limited CDr boxed version of the album "Nebulous".This edition comes in a nice digipak with new design. Peter Andersson (RAISON D' ÊTRE, STRATVM TERROR, SVASTI-AYANAM, NECROPHORUS) is one of a handful of the finest sound manipulators in the world. "Archimetrical Universe" showcases Peter's dissection of the sky, a Caesarean Section that births massive, geometrically perfect sonic diversions, all spheres and angles, burnished metal dreams and pristine sonic caresses that reconfigure sound into smooth surfaces. To counterbalance the exactness of the sonic development, light rhythms emerge, huge slabs of disruptive tone, the scattered remnants of all of Peter's projects utilized in the creation of the music here. Everything seems to be in perpetual motion, evolving, revolving, reinvented at the mercy of Peter's deft hands and devious whim. The clarity of production and meticulous restructuring of the known (space, stars, planets) with the unknown (space...stars...planets...) only heightens the journey upon which he guides us, an alluring venture into the cavernous realm of space...  but not a space most of us would imagine. Whether he is sonically scrubbing the architecture, or just mesmerizing us with another sound sculpture at the edge of forever, "Archimetrical Universe" is, quite possibly, Peter's finest release yet.  And that's saying a lot because his sonic portfolio runneth over with intoxicating, mind-altering sound manipulations that inspire one's imagination with conflicting emotional responses (sorrow, desolation, awe, wonder) at all times. Space is an illusion... but Peter has brought it to life.

The first two MNEMONIC albums "Identifikationsstörung" and "Konstruktive Vergangenheitsbewältigung" were published by Alfa Matrix. They are very different to the third album "Monokultur", released on French label M-Tronic.  On this new, very limited release on Halbsicht Records, MNEMONIC further develop their unique sound, based on the foundations laid in "Monokultur". The song structure appears less chiseled and thereby creates a transparent ambience where catchy tunes form a perfect symbiosis with intelligent entangled beats, casting a spell over the audience.Thu, 21 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Lacuna Coil - Shallow Life [Tour Edition] (2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23188This 2CD edition of "Shallow Life" is being released to coincide with LACUNA COIL's Jan/Feb UK tour (6 dates).  It comes with an extended booklet and disc 2 includes 11 tracks (a mixture of studio, live and acoustic recordings), the majority of which are previously unreleased.Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Various Artists - EBM - My Way of Life Girlie Shirt (One Size) (Girlie Shirt)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23187Wonderful t-shirt from Alfa Matrix.

The American computer company Commodore releases the first really potent home computer, impressing the growing computer community with technical specifications like 64 Kilobytes RAM and an 8 bit processor with separate graphic andsound chip units: The Commodore 64. This device opened a whole new world for home computer users, it became the world's most popular and successful home computer of the 80s and still holds that title today. The reason was not only a separate cutting-edge graphic accelerator that enabled high resolution gaming and fluent scrolling, but also the unique SID sound chip which was equipped with modern sound effect generators and the capability of three-track polyphonic playback. The result was a new synthetic sound aesthetic which also made the C64 one of the first stand-alone synthetic music production devices.  This unique sound kept ringing in the memory of Austrian Stefan Poiss, founder and singer of MIND.IN.A.BOX. He was intrigued by the catchiness and the different sound-design of early computer game classics like "Lightforce" and "Last Ninja 3". By the age of 12 he took his first steps in composing music on the C64, and even wrote his own sequencer music software for the Commodore to put tracks together himself with more ease.Fast forward to 2009: MIND.IN.A.BOX have just finished their successful album trilogy "Lost Alone", in which they redefined electronic music sound design. Their version of techno pop gains them sublicenses and successful releases in North America as well as in Russia and has already built them a considerable fan base. Now they move back to their own roots with "R.E.T.R.O.", an homage to the days when they sat in front of their C64s, baffled by the amazing sounds that came out of it. On "R.E.T.R.O." they cover computer game classics like "Lightforce" and "The Last V8" - the Mind.In.A.Box way - and mix them with their own songs: compositions like the incredibly catchy "8Bit" meet the symphonic "Whatever Mattered", and deliver an album that holds a neat balance between experimental and the much appreciated quality and identity that MIND.IN.A.BOX are known for so far. But most importantly, they manage to combine their own sound design with the fascination of the 80s videogame soundtrack era.The CD's booklet also holds explanations from Stefan Poiss and sidekick Markus Hadwiger on what fascinated them about the Commodore 64 video game aesthetics, and how this transformed them into electronic music software creators themselves.  As such it also holds interesting insights into what makes MIND.IN.A.BOX special as an electronic band and why their sound developed the way it did. As an additional goodie, the booklet holds a code for additional bonus tracks to download from the band's website.Fri, 26 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Pet Shop Boys - Pandemonium (Live at the O2 Arena) (CD+DVD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23182Captured on their sold out worldwide Pandemonium tour, this two disc CD and DVD release sees the PET SHOP BOYS at the height of their powers.

Promised the technology to change the world only to see it abused by those in power, the high-def drip-feed of humanity's suffering is available to view 24/7. An internalised revolution, "Waste Of Flesh" is seven tracks of perpetually evolving death industrial, transcending the limitations of the musical gene pool they crawled from. Moving forward from the core electronica of their "The Dawn Of X" debut, Concrete Lung now wield a more brutal, more abrasive sound that bleeds forth across the more extreme ends of the musical spectrum. Incorporating elements of early PITCHSHIFTER, MINISTRY and SKINNY PUPPY, "Waste Of Flesh" sees the band combine their influences and spit them back out as lethal shards of dissonance. From the tribal drums that build to a hypnotic crescendo on the title track to the guitar napalm of "Breathe in the Monochrome" and the doom-grind that defines "Pyre Burns", CONCRETE LUNG continually seek to expand and refine their sound.CONCRETE LUNG are Ed Oxime, formely of UK industrial scumpunks KATSCAN, and William Riever, a relapsed Australian.Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Luxury Stranger - Desolation (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23174"This material recalls the decadence of JOY DIVISION, BRIAN ENO and THE CURE with a pinch of SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES... sound good so far? We thought so. This type of nostalgia is central to the LUXURY STRANGER sound – it's got a mournful temper, and it's dark and tastefully rocky. Embedded within this quirky sound there exists a deep desire to evoke those old times and to revive the ancient spirit of Goth from the early 80s. This is an album for fans of traditional new wave and post-punk. The tunes are warm and wistful; the whole production is homogenous and somehow true in these uncertain times.... the sound still manages to come across as vibrant and very relevant."  Sphere MagazineFri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Naevus - Days That Go (Limited 10" Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23172Brand new mini-album from the British neo-folk/post-punk act, NAEVUS. The group's sound has been described as "the wire of the dark folk scene" and "what swans would sound like if they were English", but there is much more to the group than this; their distinctive lyrics and modernist approach clearly set NAEVUS apart from their contemporaries.Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Der Blutharsch / White Hills - Today I Want to Catch Clouds (Limited 7" Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23171A new limited 7" release by DER BLUTHARSCH, in collaboration with one of Albin Julius' favourite bands - WHITE HILLS from NYC.Albin says about the release: "We both add some tunes to each others song - lets see how much more we can fly high!

With undiminished, exuberant creativity and strength, MANTUS release their latest masterpiece, "Demut", even as the last sounds of "Requiem" have barely faded away.On "Demut’", MANTUS continue the lyrical themes of "Requiem", grappling with the subject matter of the 'vanitas' art movement of the 16th and 17th centuries, which held that man should visualise the finality of all things and that death stands by as the omnipresent power over us all, so as to teach us humility ('Demut' in German). Nevertheless, or perhaps indeed because of this, MANTUS have created an extremely powerful, indeed rocking album.Once again, melancholy classical arrangements come up against metallic guitars; piano chords and indescribable harmonies meet powerful rhythms; rock hooklines meet emotional vocals. The production is extremely impressive and emphasises the expressive depth of the musical and lyrical world of MANTUS all too clearly. It's just a case of turning up the volume, closing your eyes and immersing yourself in the powerful songs which leave out no emotion, from sombre mourning and playful tenderness to melancholy daydreaming.MANTUS are once again on top of their game and raise the bar somewhat higher than on their last album. "Demut" is no background CD, but a dark pearl among the musical mishmash, created for all those who have an open heart and open ears. For all those who are prepared to lose themselves in the symphonic mixture of gothic-wave, metal guitars, classical elements, the contrasting vocals of Martin Schindler and Thalia and the poetic breadth of MANTUS. Let yourselves go!"Demut" is an accomplished and emotional work.Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Santa Hates You - Crucifix Powerbomb (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23165The fooling about has finished: now it's time to get serious! SANTA HATES YOU pin you to the mat with the power of "Crucifix Powerbomb". Loud, threatening, danceable, passionate and brutish. For the title of their new album, Peter Spilles (PROJECT PITCHFORK) and Jinxy have chosen nothing less than the name of a finishing wrestling move, and no other description could be more fitting for the dark, apocalyptic, aggressive yet at the same time seductive music which presents itself on the disc. Stomping beats, driving sequencers, apocalyptic sounds and aggressive but seductive vocals all blend into a veritable inferno of condensed strength.Whoever thought that SANTA HATES YOU were a cute tuppenny playground soft toy combatant, albeit a little weirder, will finally be taught a lesson. Hammering electro explodes undiluted from the speakers, club stompers follow one after the other, just like the quick strike and move sequence of a wrestling match. Just as colourful, just as iridescent, just as unrestrained...Peter Spilles and Jinxy clobber you, blow after blow. around the ears with one hammering slab of electro after the other, and at the end, someone will remain lying on the mat. This much is certain: it won’t be SANTA HATES YOU!  Let the dancefloor of your club become the ring. Get set for the match. Because only the really tough will be able to withstand this sweat-inducing, loud and merciless duel. Are you ready?Let’s get ready to rumble!Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000The Girl and the Robot - Whole/Flowers (Limited MCD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23164Do androids dream of electric sheep? Does the tin man hide a heart somewhere inside his metallic cavity? And how human can a machine actually be?Questions like these make up the fascinating universe of THE GIRL & THE ROBOT, a German-Swedish Electro collaboration that has set out to merge the warmth of human emotions with the calculating reservation of synthetic intelligence, to create a modern electronic fairytale.As a first result of this prolific companionship between machine man Deadbeat and the personified temptation Plastique, the duo offer the double feature single "Whole/Flowers" on which they wander effortlessly along the thin red line between unleashed passion and classy confidentiality.Plastique's voice is as seductive and intoxicating as the aura of the tantalizing singer herself, sweeping over the songs like a lascivious kiss that would even turn an emotionless robot into a hot-blooded lover. This eye-opening and sense-reeling feeling can be experienced over and over again on this EP, whose warming vocals break the synthetically caused coolness like icicles melting in the warming sun of spring, thereby creating hypnotizing and vibrant electro dew drops.One thing is certain: even an Android will only dream of Plastique’s beauty henceforth after having laid eyes on her alluring form and having listened to her conjuring voice for one single moment.THE GIRL & THE ROBOT unite COVENANT's elegance with CLIENT's sexy style, and with melancholic tracks like "Howling Winter" they also pledge allegiance to the solitary soundscapes of LADYTRON and RÖYKSOPP. As a result, the atmosphere of a nocturnal metropolis merges with a soft longing to create a gripping listening experience that even transcends the boundaries of the named artists: On "Whole/Flowers", the Scandinavian robot and his long-legged beauty convey the message that the seemingly paradoxical similarity between girl and robot only exists in our heads. Humans or machines... aren’t we all creatures searching for comfort, freedom and love?With remixes by DIE PERLEN and JAVELYNN FATE (the new project of former ASHBURY HEIGHTS stunner Yasmine Uhlin) on board, THE GIRL & THE ROBOT head for the future, entering a new era of the relationship between man and machine.Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Zeromancer - The Death of Romance [Collector's Set] (T-shirt L) (Limited CD Digipak + T-shirt)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23160Who would have dared to hope that there would ever again be an album which could unite melancholy sadness and with a rock sound in such an absolutely perfect and catchy fashion?  This is an album which simply takes one's breath away.

This self-titled album follows on from the two-part conceptual album "Exaudi Vocem Meam" released a few years ago. The band took a break after that and finally managed to put together their most sophisticated album to date, taking care of every single detail, including self production and recording/mixing. Instead the external input this time came in the form of an exceptional set of illustrations and artwork made exclusively for this album by world-renowned Spanish gothic artist Victoria Frances. The album also follows a recent stunning concert that the band performed in London's St. Pancras cathedral: an incredible event performed in a one-of-a-kind scenario that was filmed for a future DVD release.Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Nadja / Kodiak - Split (Limited LP Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23150This split release from the canadian shoegazers NADJA and the still new and hot german band KODIAK comes up with two sidelong, complex tracks.

NADJA have the deep drones and all the darkness of doom, but they also have intricate melodies that permeate their long dirges...

This special edition CD features a digipak with the original artwork restored and an expanded booklet with archival material chosen by Steven Stapleton. The disc has been remastered from the original analog tapes and features bonus material. "Chance Meeting..." enjoys a reputation as one of the most singular debuts of all time. "AllMusic" describes it as "one of the more glowing examples of late-70s industrial noise", and the now-defunct UK music magazine "Sounds" summed up their response by abandoning their usual star rating system to award the album a full five question marks.Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Attrition - Ephemera [Re-Issue] (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23143"Ephemera", the second in ATTRITION's occasional series of dark ambient instrumental soundtracks, was released to critical acclaim on the now defunct Hyperium label in Germany in 1995 - a follow up to ATTRITION's "This Death House" album of dark analogue soundscapes of 1982. This album is much more than just an exploration of the emerging digital technologies of the times, with founder member Martin Bowes using these tools to take a more abstract look at the themes of love, sex, religion, beauty, hope and despair that pervade any ATTRITION album. Here they capture emotion and allow the listener space to reflect, to populate these pieces with their own dreams or, sometimes, nightmares.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Attrition - Dante's Kitchen [Re-Issue] (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23142"Dante's Kitchen", originally released in 1994, is an eclectic album which includes many favourites from the current ATTRITION live show.  Favourites such as the song "Two Gods" (featured on the hugely successful Projekt records "New Face of Goth" CD sampler, as well as at least two movie scores), the haunting and lyrical "Head of Gabriel" and the title track itself, "Dante's Kitchen" - the culmination of ATTRITION's work for many years with dark ambient electronics, classical and rhythmic elements.  Influences range from drum'n'bass to "gothic" jazz, with classical excursions as well, in the use of violin on many of the tracks, this time from French musician Rafael who joins main man Martin Bowes and vocalist Julia Waller.  There is also a cameo vocal appearance from Liz Green of UK techno goth act SWARF.This re-released edition includes new artwork and four bonus tracks in the form of remixes from a cross-section of dark ambient, techno and IDM producers.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Sex Gang Children - Song and Legend [Re-Issue] (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23141SEX GANG CHILDREN were a London-based goth band, based around vocalist Andi Sex Gang, who took his name from a William Burroughs poem.  When this album was originally released in 1983 it reached No. 1 in the Indie Album Chart and stayed in that chart for 17 weeks.  This re-release of this massive album will contain four acoustic bonus tracks, and an updated booklet with extensive sleeve notes, rare photographs and a complete discography of the band.Mon, 11 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Genitorturers - Blackheart Revolution (CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23140The GENITORTURERS need no introduction. The world's sexiest rock band is now unleashing its long-anticipated fourth studio album "Blackheart Revolution" unto the eagerly awaiting world. Founded in Florida during the year 1991 as the brainchild of lead singer Gen, the Americans quickly rose to fame when her husband David 'Evil D' Vincent of MORBID ANGEL fame joined the band after the release of their debut. By the time of their second album "Sin City" (1998) the GENITORTURERS had gained a massive and controversial reputation with their flamboyant BDSM shows lead by the stunning blonde Gen. A third album followed with "Machine Love" (2000), tracks from which were featured in movie scores and on game soundtracks. After a creative break, the GENITORTURERS finally return. With the whipping "Blackheart Revolution", the Floridians are taking their crossover blend of US industrial metal and rock with pushing electro and hardcore punk influences onto a new level. A sharp production with rhythmical pulses and nasty electronic surprises hones the GENITORTURERS' sound to a cutting edge. This is what it would sound like if MARILYN MANSON met WHITE ZOMBIE for a wild party!Mon, 18 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000La Magra - Paradise Lost (Limited CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23139Inspired by the creatures of the night and the legends about fallen angels, the dark electronic band LA MAGRA return to the gloomy dancefloors of the world with with their third regular album, "Paradise Lost".Twelve timeless and beautiful electrohymns tell about life in the shadoworld and the desolate being of immortality.

The Spanish/Mexican feel to the music conjures the passion and excitement of fiesta, the tragic melancholy of loss and the defiant spirit that love will endure all.This - INKUBUS SUKKUBUS' 12th studio release - is a partial departure from the band's usual style. While still distinctly INKUBUS SUKKUBUS, there is a definite uniting theme that was only explored previously on the track "Dia de los Muertos" from the CD "Witch Queen".A tribute to the Mexican way of life and death...Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Diorama - Cubed [Deluxe Edition] (Limited 2CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23137DIORAMA's upcoming release "Cubed" is their seventh studio album since they debuted in 1999 with their much vaunted longplayer "Pale". After two years of composition and production, the band based around mastermind Torben Wendt presents a diversified and complex album. Potential dancefloor fillers like "Ignite" and "Apocalypse Later" in combination with soul-gripping ballads like "My Counterfeit" and "Lord of the Lies" result in a self-contained work of art, that adds new facets to DIORAMA's unmistakable musical identity - between melancholy and irony, snappiness and bulkiness, genius and madness, ordinariness and utopia.The figurative picture of a cube is the guiding theme of the album - a confined area serving as a living space be it as a stage, as a prison or as a shelter.  This concept consequently features throughout the band's artwork, stage setting and web appearance. With "Cubed", DIORAMA are sharpening their role as a creative engine within the black scene and beyond its boundaries. Those who have encountered DIORAMA at one of their live performances know about the unique experience they create in terms of emotionality, power and virtuosity, undoubtedly a factor leading to their success in exporting their show concept to over 20 countries.This limited deluxe edition of "Cubed" is equipped with a bonus CD and extensive graphical artwork.Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Diorama - Cubed (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23136DIORAMA's upcoming release "Cubed" is their seventh studio album since they debuted in 1999 with their much vaunted longplayer "Pale".

Alongside bands like VNV NATION and ASSEMBLAGE 23, they have now become a driving force in the "past futurepop" movement. Songs like "Timerunner", "Fall from Grace" and "Radioman" have become real club hits.With "Dancing in the Dark" the band delivers another floorsmash to fans and clubs around the globe! The new full length CD at 'EP price' delivers a new release concept that has never been tried before. Leaving out the original track (to be found exclusively on their forthcoming studio album) the MCD comes with an extraordinary 25(!) versions of "Dancing in the Dark" (15 audio + 10 mp3). A must have for all club maniacs, DJs and dark dancers!Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000XP8 - Drop the Mask (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23132Aimed at the heart of the dancefloor, XP8's music keeps listeners moving through the night in timeless waves, emitting subtle hints of the 1980s while slipping easily into the sounds of the new millennium: glitchy patterns, sharp simulated strings, and clear vocals travelling through bright sequences and brooding atmospheres.XP8 began in 2001 as a trio including previous singer Paul Toohill. Melding an airy blend of EBM, electronica, techno and trance, the band brought their various visions and talents to life with synthetic vibrancy and danceable beats, while crossing electronic genres with relative ease.  Over the years that followed, they made a name for themselves with their energetic live performances and their much sought-after remix work.Exactly two years after the previous album "The Art of Revenge", "Drop the Mask" is a further evolution of the band's sound, showing the duo of Marco Visconti and Marko Resurreccion taking their collective music prowess to new heights.

First and foremost their music and records of course, but in addition to this they have released a comic book, a cinema movie (due in March 2010) and now this radio play as a 2CD box set. WELLE:ERDBALL are themselves big fans of radio plays and so in 2006 they produced an episode of "The Adventures of Commander Laserstrahl", which was an unexpected success. More episodes followed, resulting in a CD release for the whole of season one.The band have now gone on to produce a second season, and as the original CD has now been deleted for quite some time, it seems fitting to mark the end of the story with a 2CD set containing all the episodes. Please note - this release is NOT FOR CHILDREN but is of course full of the typical cynicism and sarcasm and the punky electro feeling you would expect from WELLE:ERDBALL... In this box set you find all episodes from season 1 and seaon 2, a bonus section with out-takes and a live episode made by fans, a sticker and a comic in the booklet.Please note: this release is in the German Language.Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000The Eden House - The Looking Glass (CD+DVD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23111THE EDEN HOUSE are based around Stephen Carey (ADORATION) and Tony Pettit (FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM). Their debut "Smoke and Mirrors" featured four female co-writers and vocalists: - Julianne Regan (ALL ABOUT EVE), Evi Vine, Amandine Ferrari and Monica Richards (FAITH AND THE MUSE) backed by violinist Bob Loveday.  This new release features a CD of cover versions, including tracks by THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, RADIOHEAD, THE SHANGRI-LAS, THE ROLLING STONES and BJORK, and a live DVD of nine of their own tracks.Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Vomito Negro - Skull and Bones (Limited 2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23110At a time when every band that puts together tracks using a standard sound module and vocal distortion unit in their bedroom is hyped as the new hope in "Harsh Electro" or "Dark Electro", an album like "Skull and Bones" feels like a cleansing shock. Belgian legend VOMITO NEGRO, who have been active since the mid 80S, still celebrate their sound with an intensity, creativity and passion that makes most recent hard electro projects seem like a weekend trip to Disneyland. The spirit of "Skull and Bones" is of the deepest black... no hope, no mercy! Rhythmic loops thud relentlessly under dark soundscapes and the heavily manipulated shouts leave no room for sunny feelings. Even after being active for more than a quarter of a century, VOMITO NEGRO are still a trademark name for a club-compatible trip to hell that is bound to stir up, unsettle and electrify.The new album from one of the pioneers of the dark side of electronic music will be released as a limited first edition with a bonus disc that contains spectacular versions of the the group's biggest hits, among them some of the greatest EBM classics of all time!Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Signal Aout 42 - Vae Victis (Limited 2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23109The legendary Belgian electro act SIGNAL AOUT 42 is renowned for more than just hard beats, monotonous warbling bass and the standard club staples: the music is an intense and atmospheric trip to the dark side of humanity. Massive analog sounds, hypnotic tribal rhythms, thudding EBM beats and the raw deep voice of Jacky Meurisse meld to epic tracks in an electronic spectacular that sounds like the sonic adaptation of a collaboration between H.P. Lovecraft and David Lynch. The creative approach to sound design, the soundtrack-esque and overwhelming synthesizer pads are combined with monumental sonic constructs, memorable melodies and cunningly dosed beat infernos to result in music that easily surpasses the standard approaches common to the alternative club scene. There is an electronic life apart from the preset sounds that the scene seems to revel in these days. It is almost ironic that this veteran of electronic music has to go to show the young creative heads of today how to turn an electronic album into an adventure again."Vae Victis" is released as a limited first edition including a bonus maxi CD with exclusive remixes from the Northern Alliance (ATOPIC, BAK XIII, BUZZ, DARKMEN, GRANCHAOS, IMPLANT, K-BEREIT and VOID KAMPF.)Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Suicide Commando - Implements of Hell (Limited 2CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23105The fascination of evil. There are few bands that manage to adapt the most extreme sides of human behaviour to club-compatible electronic sounds as effectively as SUICIDE COMMANDO, the evil musical brainchild of Belgian hard electro legend Johan van Roy. On his newest long player "Implements of Hell", he effectively pulls out all the stops of a career spanning more than two decades to send the listener on a rollercoaster ride through all the hellish ingredients that make for the sonic phenomenon known as SUICIDE COMMANDO. Lashing aggro-dance tracks like the single "Die Motherf*cker Die" alternate with heavy, dark and rhythmic synthesizer monsters that are not only a massive modern-day reminiscence of the early works of the band, but that also make "Implements of Hell" the darkest excess from SUICIDE COMMANDO ever, and the most menacing dance album of the last few years. Had Charles Manson been wreaking havoc in the Techno Age, his music would probably have sounded like this. The killer is striking terror into people's hearts on the dance floor... and you, sure as hell, won't be able to escape him this time!The limited double CD edition of the album includes a bonus disc jam-packed with exclusive remixes and the videoclip for the single "Die Motherf*cker Die"!Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Suicide Commando - Implements of Hell (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23104The fascination of evil.

The killer is striking terror into people's hearts on the dance floor... and you, sure as hell, won't be able to escape him this time!The regular version of the album features 11 tracks, including the two previously released single cuts, of which "Until We Die" is a different 'album edit'.Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Theatre Of Tragedy - London (Sun 14th Mar 2010) (Ticket)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23093Theatre of Tragedy Where Angels Fall To-Mera Pythia (fronted by Emily Alice from Mediaeval Baebes)Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000The Eden House - London (Weds 3rd Mar 2010) (Ticket)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23091The Eden House Greenhaus The Mumbles Guilty FawnWed, 03 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0000Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - The Road O.S.T. (CD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23085This highly-anticipated big screen adaptation of the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy (author of "No Country for Old Men") sees Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen leading an all-star cast featuring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce and young newcomer Kodi Smit-McPhee. An epic post-apocalyptic tale of survival of a father and his young son journeying across a barren America destroyed by a mysterious cataclysm, "The Road" boldly imagines a future in which men are pushed to the worst and the best that they are capable of -- a future in which a father and his son are sustained by love.NICK CAVE and WARREN ELLIS have created an evocative score featuring violin and piano with beautiful fleeting melodies and eerie sound loops filled with terror and suspense. "The movie is about the loss of things, the absence of things, the lack of things. The lack of the wife/mother is present in every frame of the film. The delicate edifice of the film holds the ache of her absence, tenderly and by the tips of the fingers," explains Cave. "The music was composed as a direct response to the film. A light, haunting, simple score with a sense of absence and loss at its heart.""When it comes to film soundtracks some creative partnerships have epic potential... NICK CAVE and WARREN ELLIS are a marriage made not so much in heaven as in a captivating kind of underworld" - MetroMon, 04 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000X Marks The Pedwalk - Seventeen (MCD)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23060The first ALL NEW EP from X MARKS THE PEDWALK since 1996! After the re-release of "Abattoir" and "Cenotaph" as part of the Infacted 'classics' collection, this comeback is one of the most awaited things on the electro/industrial scene."Seventeen" is a first taster taken from the forthcoming new studio album "Inner Zone Journey", due in Spring 2010. This new EP is a combination of elements from the band's albums "Drawback" and "Meshwork" with the style of their early releases. A true masterpiece and potential hit for dancefloors around the globe! The single also features additional remixes by NOISUF-X and LIQUID DIVINE as well as the bonus track "Winter Comes Tomorrow" and a great video clip for the title track.Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Fear Factory - Mechanize (LP Vinyl)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23058Mechanize is a full-fisted blast of passion and innovation that sounds like the missing link between 1995's groundbreaking "Demanufacture" and 1998's more texturally nuanced "Obsolete". Songs like "Industrial Discipline" and "Powershifter" are crushing and colossal, melding fast and precise rhythms with vocals that pinwheel from raw and scathing to hauntingly melodic while "Fear Campaign", which features harrowing spoken word passages, quickly segues into a showcase of punishing beats, rapid-fire riffs and ghostly keyboards. For the first time in years, the band's industrial roots glimmer through their street-lethal metal, thanks in part to Fulber, who worked on Fear Factory's popular industrial remix albums "Fear Is the Mindkiller" and "Remanufacture". While "Mechanize" is instantly reminiscent of Fear Factory's most potent moments of discovery, it's hardly a stroll down the old assembly line. Be it the orchestral keyboard swells of "Christploitation", the keyboard-infused dirge of "Final Exit", the taped screams and radio transmissions of "Controlled Demolition" or the last-gasp-under-shattered-glass samples of "Metallic Division,” each of these tracks amply demonstrates how experience of FEAR FACTORY has evolved like a computer virus, constantly reconfiguring itself to maximize its destructive impact.Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000Fear Factory - Mechanize (Limited CD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=23057Mechanize is a full-fisted blast of passion and innovation that sounds like the missing link between 1995's groundbreaking "Demanufacture" and 1998's more texturally nuanced "Obsolete".

Crime of passion? As always, ROME's titles ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. ROME's new 'Chanson Noir' is speaking of man's enslavement in a world of constant transformation.The traditions of (French) chanson and (American) folk are becoming more and more influential in their current work. Chansonniers like LÉO FERRÉ, JACQUES BREL and singer/songwriter heroes like CAVE, CASH and COHEN are obvious influences. The previous album "Flowers from Exile" already gave a first impression of what they themselves call 'Chanson Noir' – the darker side of singer/songwriter tradition: post-industrial folk with bits and pieces of electronic pop, complex arrangements of breathtaking melodies, mesmerizing ballads of lyrical beauty, underlining ROME's ethos of never faltering or remaining uninvolved.This EP features four songs, among which the exclusive and intimate track "One Flesh". The creative input of new member Nikos Mavridis (on violin and other stringed instruments) has become more and more apparent, most obviously in the reinvented, 'stringed' versions of two classic ROME tracks "Der Erscheinungen Flucht" and "Der Brandtaucher" from the highly successful album "Masse Mensch Material".ROME reinvent themselves with each release, yet without ever losing track of their roots. Still, the sheer anger and ultimate despair of the early, warlike days has evaporated somewhat to make room for more complex and classical arrangements and ever more thought-provoking lyrics. ROME: unmasked, honest and authentic!Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Nachtmahr - Mädchen in Uniform (MCD Digipak)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=22936Don't you want them too, these girls in uniform? With their well-behaved partings, their dutifully buttoned shirts and their shiny leather boots? Chins erect and chests held high, they stand in rank and file, awaiting further instructions from NACHTMAHR high command...With his brand new EP "Mädchen in Uniform" General Thomas Rainer dedicates a long overdue monument to the uniformed ladies of this world. And while the musical side of this release breaks rank somewhat with NACHTMAHR's back catalogue, the visual and conceptual side retain their dominant militaristic approach.After global thrusts on the concert front and the destroying storm of decadence and obsession aptly named "Alle Lust Will Ewigkeit" which laid the world to waste and successfully defended the peak of the DAC (German Alternative Charts) for several weeks in a row, Supreme Commander Rainer puts a sonic middle finger up to all those accusing the Austrian Imperial Industrial commando of monotony. Not only is "Mädchen in Uniform" far from the usual album extraction, moreover, the three all-new tracks offer a musical experience that is certainly not what one would expect from this project.A passionate salute to military clothing, the title track surprises the listener an old-fashioned, straight-up EBM attack in the vein of DAF or SPETSNAZ, equipped with intense vocals and blazing lyrics that once more speak out loud something we all secretly think: girls in uniforms are devilishly sexy!  And this is only the beginning: enigmatic and influenced by Latin American sounds, NACHTMAHR evoke the malicious fable creature El Chupacabra in the stomping industrial track of the same name. But the EP's second big trump card is doubtlessly a very special cover version that will cause chins everywhere to drop: with imperialistic vigour and fierce vocals the high society farce "Titanic" by the infamous Austrian Superstar FALCO is being claimed for the empire, its decadent core fitting perfectly in the NACHTMAHR universe.Eight adaptations, among them a congenial FADERHEAD interpretation of the marching title track and remixes by FEINDFLUG, MODULATE and others, "Tanzdiktator" and "Mörder", complete the musical side of this 13-track EP whose visual side explores new areas of military seduction. Unmistakably committed to the obsessive, sexualized style of the last release, the artwork and extra booklet of "Mädchen in Uniform" are a provocative homage to the much disputed and scandalizing Italian movie "The Night Porter".But now, dear girls, put on your uniforms: General Rainer asks for the next dance.Fri, 29 Jan 2010 00:00:00 +0000Assemblage 23 - London (Sat 13th Feb 2010) (Ticket)http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/product-view.php?productid=22796Assemblage 23 RBN tenekSat, 13 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0000
