Am 27. Mai erscheinen zwei neue Mediabook Bluray-Veröffentlichungen, beide sind sehr interessante HD bzw. sogar digitale Weltpremieren!
Zunächst der österreichische Film SITUATION aka DEADLINE aka SLAUGHTER DAY aka LUGER CALIBRO 9: MASSACRE PER UNA RAPINA von Regisseur Peter Patzak.

Dieser deutsche Ton wurde auch der original Version angelegt.

180g marbled coloured (lim. Ed. 250 copies) or black Vinyl (lim. Ed. 150 copies) and CD Edition out June/July 2022. Releasedate and presale soon!
Morlock’s ‘The Outcasts’, the sophomore album of cosmic explorations by synthesist and drummer Andrew Prestidge (Zoltan, Warning, The Osiris Club), is a deceptively accessible fusion of post-punk, electro-pop, Moog drones and Italian prog soundtracks. Blending melody and experimentation into a shifting patchwork of retro-futuristic splendour, these seemingly contradictory elements battle it out in a dream landscape of the ancient and the alien.
The influences on the record are vast and varied. As a long-time fan of electronic music, Andrew’s compositions can invoke anyone from Tubeway Army, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop or John Carpenter to more abrasive acts such as Killing Joke, The Chameleons or Cardiacs. And that’s before we get to Queen’s soundtrack to Flash Gordon…
In contrast to 2019’s debut Morlock release, ‘Ancient Paths’, rhythm and riffage is to the fore throughout the course of these seven epic tunes. Much more a widescreen version of the band and a collaborative affair, the recording took place in London’s celebrated Holy Mountain studios in the spring of 2021. Mixed in Switzerland by Misha Hering (Memnon SA), who also co-writes and adds synthesizers to a number of tracks, the production veers between the pastoral and the urban, from the roots of the Earth to the measureless depths of outer space.
The ‘Outcasts’ concept began with Andrew developing creature designs for an imaginary graphic novel. The eventual Lovecraft-inspired illustrations are accompanied by a conceptual story-cycle originating from the mind of science fiction author Matt Thompson, all produced in a lavish and limited vinyl edition. A heavyweight pressing with grooves deep enough – just – to do the music full justice, ‘The Outcasts’ is truly an object to savour.
Watch out for forthcoming live action with a specially-expanded line-up!
PAN/SCAN A Far Distant Corner Of Nothing Special (Cine 26)
LP/CD Edition marbled + black 180g Vinyl and plain CD edition will be available. Expected release June 2022. First music coming soon!
After the “KOSMONAUTER” journey into distant galaxies, PAN/SCAN penetrates deep into the interior of the human mind with their latest work “A FAR DISTANT CORNER OF NOTHING SPECIAL”. While the musical style serves as a continuation of the previous album, here the listener is lulled into a compellingly hypnotic sound-environment. The record tells the story of secret telekinetic experiments for the purpose of creating a new form of “power”, conducted in dark laboratories deep under the surface of the earth. A human mind, captured within a state of permanent tension and relaxation, finally unleashes its full potential, bringing not only the desired success of the experiments but also the opening of a gate to a new world. What awaits us on the other side?
Presale start of the new THELEMA full length album THE GREAT IN THE SMALL (KN 02) 180g marble coloured Vinyl Limited on 180 copies! Release date May 1st 2022. Hypnotic music filled with tiny sounds and big atmosphere guides the listener on a journey. From here to there wholeness can be found everywhere don’t just search for the big and the tall take note of the great in the small. Once again HJ of Thelema shows his ability to create wonderful atmospheric in his very own style.
