ALBERTO PASCUAL
There is in Madrid a musical effervescence that nothing can tame. If the
secular bleakness fits well the dark, sullen, industrial compositions
of some of its famous musicians, an older tradition, looser, of
dedication to the suave, stretched, paced nighttime, finds its natural
extension in the talents of young artist like Alberto Pascual.
For many years now Alberto Pascual has been involved in the spaniard
capital's techno scene. He has been producing on his own, keenly,
delivering indisputable groove material to the crowds. Constantly
evolving, his technique is not to debate, speak on its behalf: merciless
rythms, ascensional themes , nebulous as well as aerial, the young
musician knows how to manipulate the audience's urges and pleasures, and
meticulously drive them frenzy. It's then no surprise to hear him
giving ecstatic performances as a DJ. Used to international stages , in
addition to his favorite court, his appearances have left no one
indifferent. From powerful 90's icons to techno's freshest talents, he
takes care in delivering rattling sets wherever he plays. In the steady
dynamic of his, together with the experience and maturity he gleaned
over the years, Alberto is now engaging himself in the creation of a
raw, solid techno that is to be kept closely under watch.

NEW UNBLESSED
The third album of the Chilean Death/Black UNBLESSED has released a
couple of weeks before, and again the band chose AUSTRALIS RECORDS - as
in their previous album "Man Has Killed God" � as the responsible label
for editing this new assault.
With a more mature sound within the usual UNBLESED shown in previous
work, this new self-titled album will show that the hordes commanded by
Paul Callahan - founder member of Unblessed - are more powerful than
ever. In a little over 40 minutes and with 9 songs, Unblessed shows all
evil and hatred that led to this album.
The album was recorded at SUBTERRA STUDIOS by Mario Arancibia, and the
art was made again by the already known artist Alvaro Unsilent, who
achieved a remarkable job following the aesthetic and darker lines of
the band.
This album has the following songs:
Intro| The Last Call
Lost
Crap
A taste for Disaster
To Achieve Immortality
Storm of Oblivion
The Balck Omen
Fuck Reality
Digging Melancholy

den200 | Ensemble Economique - Melt Into Nothing Cd | 12''
listen: www.denovali.com/ensembleeconomique
�Melt Into Nothing� is Ensemble Economique's most lucid seance to date.
The prolific Humboldt County musician has stripped layers off of his
trademark haze but retained the beautiful desolation that's earned him a
rabid fanbase. The solo project of former Starving Weirdos member Brian
Pyle, Ensemble Economique has crossed a land bridge from apocryphal
world music and dusty soundtracks to gauzy 4AD-style atmospherics.
Trellises of guitar embolden Pyle's whispered, threadbare lyrics. On
�Hey Baby�, the itinerant tone feels like an update on Neil Young's
stark and beautiful soundtrack for Jarmusch's �Dead Man�. �Melt Into
Nothing�, like that beautiful film music, evokes the great American
expanse.
Field recordings slip in and out of the mix. On �Fade for Miles�, Pyle's
adroit effects and backwards tape manipulation make the long trail on
his vocals fade into waves on a rocky beach. Pyle combines minor-key
organ and spacious string synths on �Never Gonna Die�, recalling the
grey grace of the releases on Factory's gothic cousin, Benelux. Thunder
accentuates the dubbed-out machine drum programming as Pyle's dulcet
tenor floats in storm clouds. The full-length also features
contributions from Toronto artist DenMother and Parisian artist Sophia
Hamadi, also of dark-wave Opale. This music is not excessively dark or
severe. Rather, the record explores the internal dialogue of solitary
walks. �Melt Into Nothing� is for making sense of humanity in nature's
unforgiving face. Ensemble Economique has made his most accessible
record yet, but the complex emotion behind these tracks remains resonant
and ultimately mysterious.

den202 | The Eye Of Time � Acoustic Cd | 12''
listen: www.denovali.com/theeyeoftime
HE EYE OF TIME is the Solo-Project of French musician Marc Euvrie.
Euvrie's musical development is deeply connected with the French DIY
punk and hardcore scene, though he has been classically trained as well.
He started to play piano being 9 years old, composed his first pieces
with 15 and studied cello at the conservatoire after finishing school.
Euvrie used to play in several bands before, being influenced by CLAUDE
DEBUSSY, PHILIP GLASS, FREDERIC CHOPIN, J.S. BACH, MICHAEL NYMAN just as
by GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, A SILVER MT. ZION or PORTISHEAD, he
began to translate his personal reflection of our complex world into
music, which initiated THE EYE OF TIME. A self titled debut record,
released in Spring 2012, evolved first.
For his debut Marc Euvrie's critical writing exposed a dark look on the
present, past and future: Linked to machines and samples, revealing an
unnatural direction of the human being's existence. His upcoming release
ACOUSTIC is a consequent change of focus. Looking for the motor, the
personal needs to survive, he found himself experimenting with only
Cello and Piano. Apparently these classical instruments turned out to be
a relevant strong signal to go back to the roots with something more
natural and simple to start from. Though both records seem to go in
opposite directions in terms of sound and concept, a strong underlying
layer stays inevitable: The Eye of Time's compositions imply a call to
fight for the things we love.
ACOUSTIC might be understood as a counterbalance to The Eye of Time's
debut. Where the previous record disclosed the coldness of our time,
destructing everything that is meant to be our deep nature and
presenting the despair of our situation, Acoustic embarks on a little
glimpse of hope: Finding some strength to keep fighting for the nature
of things and their vital qualities. Marc Euvrie composed six songs for
six different locations and points in time, reaching way back to ancient
centuries as well as taking a glance into our near future of a yet
unknown place. A very personal travel through time and space, between
the beauty of nature (Cisjordania, Norway) and the need of hope, which
allows humans to dream (Spain, Poland). Marc Euvries own feelings and
thoughts about his life evoke mostly in the last two tracks, where he
found a form to intensify what keeps him alive.

Introduction:
Behold the music industry is trying to adjust to a revolution, caused by
technology evolution. It is now easier to create, duplicate, and
distribute CD�s in a cost effective manner. The playing field is
starting to level off giving independent companies a chance to enjoy
monetary success. However the next wave of independents are coming
across as hustlers, and not businessmen. Therefore, as major labels
limit signing new acts, and independents lack the business mindset, thus
the climate is right for IRON HORSE MUSIC
Our Vision:
IRON HORSE MUSIC refuses to create carbon copy artists that have
different names yet have styles like the others. IRON HORSE MUSIC shall
only work with artists with drive, vision and have the gift to touch
minds & entertain.
Why Iron Horse Music:
IRON HORSE MUSIC will be a driving force to help expose underground
artists to the world. IRON HORSE MUSIC will function similar to other
labels in the regard we will work to promote the artists through every
means possible including radio, in stores, video clip etc., however the
principal nature of IRON HORSE MUSIC will be to groom, nurture, and
develop artists for the next level. The best analogy that represents our
goals is like a minor league baseball team. Without bias we will
recruit the best prospects throughout the land and help to develop their
talents in areas including style, performance, and production. IRON
HORSE MUSIC will utilize all efforts to make our artists successful,
however most artists need to hone their skills, and gain popularity.
Some might disagree on our platform, but we shall stand firm and work
hard with up and coming artists, and if they leave us for a better deal,
then we succeeded growing something special from our meager pond.
What makes IRONHORSEMUSIC.net different?
IRONHORSEMUSIC.net is not a brand new concept. We are not re-inventing
the wheel. IRONHORSEMUSIC.net is merely adding, enhancing, and improving
a medium that will be the standard for the future. What sets us apart
at this point is our willingness and drive to promote our artists, other
artists, and independent labels to the fullest. That doesn�t mean
million dollar videos, fully wrapped buses etc., It takes going back to
the grassroots hand to hand, word of mouth promotion. The Internet has
made this world smaller. Years ago independent labels could only sell
CD�s in their local area.
Today we can reach listeners worldwide. IRONHORSEMUSIC.net has a growing
database of e-mails addresses of, hip-hop friendly business, and
industry executives that we will actively promote to. We will also send
out postcards, do magazine ads, and other promotion material, however
everything will be cost effective.
IRONHORSEMUSIC.net is looking for those on our level; if you believe in what were doing, and you have what it takes contact us.

BLOODSHOT RECORDS
http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/
SCOTT H BIRAM
On his ninth album (and fifth for Bloodshot Records) �blood� is many,
often inherently contradictory, themes: life, death, suffering, evil,
commitment, legacy, atonement. Throughout Nothin� But Blood, recorded at
Biram�s home studio and Cacophony Studios in Austin, TX, SHB�s distinct
songwriting style encompasses his penchant for sludge metal and palm
muting (�Around the Bend�), the raw sucker punch of punk rock (�Only
Whiskey�), profound truths of sentimental acoustic blues and country
(�Never Comin� Home�), the cleansing powers of gospel hymns and
spiritual ballads (�When I Die�), and folk tales from the early 20th
century (there has never been a more beautifully creepy and morosely
slinky take on �Jack of Diamonds�).
QUOTATIONS:
Like a scumbag Leonard Cohen. � Shooter Jennings
His raucous blend of psychobilly, blues, country, metal and rock
suggests and inner starvation for true expression and honesty that,
frankly, should lead you to question the conviction of everyone you've
ever seen set foot on a stage. � Houston Press
LYDIA LOVELESS
Writing from a new-found place of conviction, Lydia crafted 10 songs
that are stark in their honesty, self-examination, and openness. Without
ditching the ribald, spit-in-your-eye attitude of her previous
recordings, Loveless travels into some parallel-universe, roots-born
Exile In Guyville territory. These are songs that find her asserting
stylistic choices, while baring themes of insatiable desire, unrequited
emotion, and mistake-making on life's crooked, fucked up path.
Recorded at Sonic Lounge in her hometown Columbus, OH, Somewhere Else is
more elemental than any of Loveless� previous material; it�s about
longing for the other - whether that�s something emotional, physical, or
mental.
SPIN has already covered Lydia in advance of the album (as one of the 5
Best New Artists of January , on their 50 Albums to Hear in 2014 , and
in a This Is Happening feature ) and ELLE.com just premiered a new track
�Head.�
QUOTATIONS:
Love this woman. Love her. Is �Stevie Nicks singing lead on 'Born to Run'" overstating it? Probably, but too bad. � SPIN
Brimming with brashness and vulnerability, confidence and insecurity,
and can leave you not knowing quite what to think. � The Boston Globe
--
DEX ROMWEBER
�Dex Romweber was and is a huge influence on my music. I owned all of
his records as a teenager, and was thrilled at the fact that we were
able to play together recently on tour. [He is] is one of the best kept
secrets of the rock n roll underground.�
� Jack White, White Stripes
For a quarter century, Dex Romweber has trolled the dark corners and
back shelves of the haunted thrift store of Americana ephemera and honed
an extraordinarily idiomatic sound, a particular and readily
identifiable DEXness for those in the know. It�s a creepy doll
collection of surf, proto-rockabilly, garage, dark and vengeful blues,
and nobody, but nobody, plays it like Dex. First with the legendary Flat
Duo Jets and now with his Duo, Dex distilled the punk ethos of
less-is-more to the essential guitar/drums template. Left in the wake of
his lecherous and slithery Silvertone were early acolytes like Jack
White, Neko Case, and the Reigning Sound as well as a current crop of
the indie pack like Ty Segall, No Age, Japandroids, and The Black Keys.
All owe an unclaimed pawn ticket of debt to his sublime and
spine-tingling sound. He is a live wire back to the murky, sometimes
dangerous and always unpredictable headwaters of real rock and roll.
Dex, with his whip-wristed sister Sara Romweber on drums, takes their
third full-length release (and first since 2011�s Is That You In The
Blue?) Images 13 through neon-lit alleys, full of pulp fiction juvey
rock, sci-fi theme songs and greasy denim hipster jive. Recorded at Rick
Miller�s (Southern Culture on the Skids) Kudzu Ranch studio in North
Carolina, Images 13 would make everyone from Duane Eddy to Stan Kenton
to Lenny Bruce crack a smile, a joke or the seal on a fifth of rye and
head for the Naugahyde ice bucket.

CATTLE DECAPITATION
from metalbladerecords.com
Cattle Decapitation: Limited Edition vinyl releases of bands entire Metal Blade catalog thus far slated for 2014
Deluxe vinyl box with art by Wes Benscoter will be available to house the entire collection!
San Diego, CA's finest purveyors of extreme metal, Cattle Decapitation,
are planning a series of limited edition vinyl releases for 2014 under
the banner "Decade of Decapitation", to celebrate 10 years of releases
on Metal Blade Records. The band's entire Metal Blade discography: "To
Serve Man" (2002), "Humanure" (2004), "Karma.Bloody.Karma" (2006), "The
Harvest Floor" (2009), and "Monolith of Inhumanity" (2012) are all being
prepared in lavish gatefolds for release. The colors, handpicked by the
band, reflect the concept or color scheme behind each album. Fans will
also have the opportunity to pick up a collectable box that comes with
an exclusive T-shirt, both with brand new art from longtime Cattle
Decapitation cover artist, Wes Benscoter. Additionally, "To Serve Man",
the band's debut full-length, and their sophomore effort "Humanure" have
been remastered specially for this release. Each vinyl will be released
separately in the coming months. Pre-orders for "To Serve Man" are
available now at indiemerch.com/metalbladerecords.com
Cattle Decapitation's Travis Ryan adds: "We are very excited to announce
the "Decade of Decapitation" reissues! All of our Metal Blade
discography has been out of print since right after each release and
we're glad we will finally be able to meet some of the demands of the
fans with these cool reissues! I've had rare items in my personal
collection that came with an empty spot for other items that had to be
hunted down in order to be complete, I always thought that was fun and
so now we pass the hunt on to our fans! The box art is another quality
piece from the great Wes Benscoter which reveals the inside living space
of a psychopath hellbent on revenge, the same point of view from which
the majority of our lyrics come from."
Cattle Decapitation vinyl colors:
"To Serve Man" - (Longpig Slaughter colored vinyl - red splattered on pink)
"Humanure" - (Bloody Stool colored vinyl - red splattered on brown)
"Karma.Bloody.Karma" - (Blood On Blood colored vinyl - red splattered on blood red)

BEATS MUSIC ACQUIRES TOPSPIN
Today we are excited to announce that Beats Music has acquired Topspin.
Beats Music has made it a priority to empower artists within their
recently launched streaming service, and they have acquired ArtistLink
to continue powering the images, bios, and commerce offers on their
artist profile pages.
Topspin�s earliest and most lasting mission has been to help artists
make a living by connecting them with their fans and helping them make
money. When we started in 2007, music fans were primarily downloading
digital files and moving them manually into their iPods. The world of
downloads proved valuable in acquiring fan emails for free and bundling
digital albums with tickets, merchandise, or any type of direct-to-fan
offer. In the 7 years since, fans have moved away from buying individual
downloads and moved into accessing the world�s music from a variety of
streaming services. As the era of streaming matures, new ways to connect
artists and fans will evolve inside these services, and Beats Music now
has a proven platform and team in Topspin�s ArtistLink to lead the
industry in empowering artists in their service.
Moving forward, Beats Music is going to fully support all ArtistLink

Temporary Residence Limited
A few years ago we released the debut album by an ambitious, extremelty
talented family band from Bloomington, Indiana called Dreamers of the
Ghetto. They enjoyed the kind of blinding white praise from blogs with
comments like "next big thing" and "too good to not get huge." In spite
of � or because of (or a little of both) � those accolades, the band
dissolved well before the world was able to discover their significant
gifts. Now, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Luke Aaron Jones and
fellow DOTG alum Marty Sprowles have pared down the widescreen
stadium-sized rock of their former band to the more intimate,
introspective Hunterchild. Jones' vocals are more arresting than ever,
indebted as much to vintage Peter Gabriel, Prince, and Depeche Mode as
the rich well of electronic R&B explorations from a similar orbit as
James Blake and The Weeknd in their most powerful moments. Hunterchild
are comfortable in their own skin in a way that's almost unheard of for
debut artists.
You can hear the first single, "Aching," from their forthcoming debut album here:

We are truly honored to announce our reissue of William Basinski's
stirring album, Melancholia, on vinyl for the first time ever!
Remastered from the original recordings and packaged in a gorgeous
deluxe gatefold featuring all-new artwork by James Elaine, this album
has never looked or sounded more arresting. Pressed on 100% virgin black
vinyl in a strictly limited edition of 2,000 copies, this is not to be
slept on (though it does make a cozy companion to sleep with).

WILLIAM BASINSKI
Melancholia
Limited Edition LP Reissue
Originally released a year after the increasingly iconic The
Disintegration Loops, a decade later Melancholia still stands as William
Basinski's second most beloved album. To commemorate its 10-year
anniversary, we are honored to present the first-ever vinyl edition of
this otherworldly piece of music. Remastered from the original
recordings and pressed onto audiophile-quality 100% pure virgin vinyl,
this limited-edition vinyl reissue is packaged in a stunning gatefold
jacket featuring all-new artwork. It is truly a sight and sound to
behold. Like many of Basinski's most soul-stirring works, Melancholia
began as a series of short tape loops captured in the early 1980s.
Basinski then stored them away for decades, revisiting them at a
different time in his life, at which point they took on a stunning new
sound all their own � one that many consider to be among the finest of
the past decade.

Drekka : Ekki Gera Fikniefnum LP � Limited 300
Dais is proud to announce the first full length album in 9 years from
Bloomington, Indiana�s underground legend DREKKA. Active since 1996
starting with his infallible Bluesanct label, Drekka�s Michael Anderson
channeled his vision into Drekka with extensive tours of the US and
Europe, audio & visual collages, and side projects such as 4K, In
Gowan Ring, Stonebreath, Turn Pale, and lovesliescrushing. Drekka�s
previous works run parallel to Edward Artemiev�s soundtracks for Andrei
Tarkovsky, Simon Fischer Turner�s abstractions for Derek Jarman mixed
with more contemporary groups like Nurse With Wound or Coil. Ethereral
folk that takes on a tranquil lullaby quality, layered and textured,
deconstructed and rebuilt to cause a quiet discomfort. Utilizing his
endless personal sound library in a manner unique to Anderson, these
compositions are arranged more like a film, showing us a glimpse into
Drekka�s soundtracks to films unmade.
�Ekki gera fikniefnum,� is a mistranslation from English to Icelandic
for �Don�t do drugs�, which seems to amuse Icelanders to no end. The
expressions on Drekka�s recent work are equally mistranslated. What one
listener perceives as absolute, Drekka sees as only a loosely-fitting
frame in his gallery of visions.
For fans of Nurse With Wound, Cindytalk, Lovesliescrushing, and Coil.
Limited to 300 copies, with gorgeous silver-treated pantone jacket and insert.

Youth Code � s/t (Repress) � Limited 500 (400 Wine, 100 Splatter)
Repress of the sold-out debut album by Los Angeles wrath-induced EBM
outfit Youth Code. Their initial offering unleashes 10 bitter outbursts
of dance floor destruction saddling strict BPM worship following the Wax
Trax blueprint but stylistically rewriting their unique industrial
anthems to a beat all their own. An explosive cohesion of material to
follow up the angst-laden maelstrom of their elusive demo tape and
redefined single on Angry Love Productions. While comparisons to the
likes of Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly and Ministry are not far off,
their hybrid blend with contemporary American hardcore punk makes Youth
code one of the most individual and distinctive electronic acts active.

Annabelle's Garden : Time's No Measure 1987-1993 (Volume 1)
Dais is very, very pleased to announce (after 4 years in the works) that
pre-orders are up for the double LP retrospective of late 80's gothic
folk collective, Annabelle's Garden. Annabelle�s Garden were a radically
underground goth-wave/neo-folk band founded in Hamburg, Germany by
members of local acts �La Lisa� and �Beyond Despair�, most active
between 1987 and 1997. They released cassettes themselves and across
indie European labels, music which was eventually compiled and presented
to the world in the early and mid-90s on two CD releases by none other
than Patrick Leagas (of Death in June & 6Comm/Mother Destruction) on
his own lauded Kenaz imprint.
Though they played rarely, it was often an event � outdoors, in fields
to friends � and their live performances usually made us of all 24
tracks across the soundboard, dozens of instruments (traditional and
homemade: rusty cages, rain barrels, etc).
Often compared to contemporaries like Death in June, Sol Invictus, or
Current 93 (they toured extensively with 6Comm), they managed to create
music that existed both in that realm and beyond, labeled as
psychedelic, punk, new wave, and goth. You can clearly hear respect
given to This Mortal Coil, The Cure, or The Wake � making them as easily
filed among classic World Serpent releases as they would fit among 4AD
or Factory.
The truth is, so little was known about Annabelle�s Garden outside of
Europe that not only were their original releases on Kenaz extremely
hard to find � you were lucky to even have heard about them to know to
search. However - what exists here, in Annabelle�s Garden, is some of
the most layered, deep, rich, and nostalgic music Dais has ever
uncovered.
This gorgeous limited gatefold double LP is comprised of not only the
original Kenaz release from 1993: �Wo Sind Nur Eure G�tter Hin?�, but
also includes tracks from the band�s original first recording and maiden
cassette release, as well as a special never before heard remix of
their classic anthem �If�.
Lovingly included is a full color 12-page booklet with liner notes,
detailed track information, and a complete history of the band written
by the band themselves, emerging for the first time in almost twenty
years to collaborate with Dais. This is the first of a limited series of
Annabelle�s Garden in chronological order, bringing forth some of the
most rare and gorgeous underground music ever.
Limited edition of 500, gorgeous gatefold double LP designed by Eddie
O'Dowd (Psychic TV/PTV3, Angry Love) with 12 page booklet and liner
notes by Dais and Annabelle's Garden.

Tor Lundvall � Structures and Solitude 5xCD
Tor Lundvall�s elegant soundtracks have been captured onto nine full
length albums and collected within various compilations, raising his
stature as one of the most abundant craftsman within the field of

collection of more recent works including the albums Empty City and Last
Light, as well as CD versions of the vinyl-only albums Sleeping &
Hiding and The Shipyard. Additionally, the fifth disc in the collection
entitled Night Studies compiles Lundvall�s �after hours� recording
sessions, setting the atmospheric tone for the ensemble. All discs
include previously unreleased bonus tracks with a booklet and artwork by
Tor Lundvall. As a limited edition bonus, a special 50 copy �art
edition� of the box will contain one original oil study artwork from Tor
Lundvall, each one contains a different original artwork.

COUM Transmissions � Home Aged & The 18 Month Hope LP
The most recent installment of the rare & unheard archival
recordings from the transgressive 70?s performance art group COUM
Transmissions. Founded in late 1969 by Genesis P-Orridge, COUM
Transmissions�s provocative performances mixed with visual art
solidified the group as one of the most forward thinking breakthroughs
within the 70?s conceptual art scene. Only in the past couple years has
COUM�s recorded works seen the light of day. This release collects
various selections spanning the years 1971 through 1975, including a
rare live performance opening for Hawkwind, lost radio interview, obtuse
poetry readings by early member Fizzey Peat, piano & violin
compositions by Genesis P-Orridge and insightful field recordings.
Limited to 1,000 vinyl copies.

Cold Showers� Still Life 7?
The beautiful, enigmatic shoegaze bliss of L.A.�s own Cold Showers
returns to Dais with a new single. Two virgin cuts which bring their
lush heartbeat back to life. The Fire, a fluid post punk anthem drenched
in romantic heartbreak, crying to the masses for love. On the heels is
Crowds, an acoustic, crooning diamond which shines through the daybreak.
Limited to 500 copies.
DAIS048
Missing Foundation � s/t LP
In the 1980?s, New York City was a dismal wasteland filled with urban
decay and creative miracles. It was only a matter of time before the
suits saw an investment opportunity, with cash in hand they bought off
NYC and started the criminal gentrification of downtown New York,
sterilizing any sense of culture and fumigating all residents deemed
financially worthless. This kind of invasion brought the perfect storm
in the form of Missing Foundation. Founded by Peter Missing in the early
80?s, Missing Foundation and their �Party�s Over� logo challenged the
governing trends of NYC, pouring gasoline on the tinderbox of the class
war taking place on the city streets. Known for their hostile and fiery
performances (and infamous ban from CBGB�s in the late 80?s), Missing
Foundation left a scorched mark behind and started a movement still felt
in the underground community today. Their debut album was originally
released on Purge/Sound in 1987 and now Dais is honored to being
reissuing this masterpiece of industrial folklore to a new generation
who forgot where it started. Countless thanks to Erik Proft and Bill
Cashman for all their help in making this happen. Limited to 500 copies.
DAIS049
Missing Foundation - 1933 Your House Is Mine LP
The cacophonic dischord of Missing Foundation and the prophetic vision
of Peter Missing culminated into a follow up album following their
legendary self-titled debut which was collected under the banner as 1933
Your House Is Mine. This sophomore effort was brought about in 1988 as a
means to educate the forgotten and venerate their followers using brash
performance tactics and industrial rhythm to rally their cause. An
industrial soundtrack of urban protest, Missing Foundation found their
voice, garnishing attention from the mainstream as well as being lauded
by underground. The cultural divide had been marked with Missing
Foundation�s flipping martini glass signature declaring that the party
was over. After being out of print for almost 25 years, Dais has
reissued this legendary recording in a limited edition of 500 copies.
DAIS044
Deviation Social � Tempus/Deathwatch �From End to Beginning� Vol. 2 LP
One-man industrial outfit, Deviation Social left a scar on the face of
the American 80?s experimental/noise scene that has mysteriously been
left to legend and rumor. Dais previously released the first authorized
reissue of Deviation Social�s compilation tracks dating back from the
early 80?s. Here within, Volume 2 compiles the two proper �studio�
releases of Deviation Social�s checkered past. The destructive Tempus
Purgatio Part 7 single and 1982 album cassette Workforce/Deathwatch are
finally collected and reissued as a single LP in a edition of 500 with
zine booklet with writings and archival images from Deviation Social.
$11.00 Wholesale
DAIS037
DBC� Pris LP
Blinding white magic in light of the new age opera, the Dangerous Boy�s
Club bring the heat. DBC has the lips of a killer, the unholy choir of
the repentant, and the glamour cast from gold. Known for their history
in such outfits as Heroin, Antioch Arrow and Get Hustle, their debut
album Vril on Fast Weapons awoke followers out of their coma. Dais now
brings everyone to the alter with their follow up LP, Pris. Sacramental
electro synth-rock mixed with glam violence inducing one into a state of
bliss and ecstasy. Not from this world�not of this time, but DBC knows
exactly what we needed to hear. Making sure that everything will be
alright, just give in to the club. Limited edition of 500, soaked in
soul.

Tor Lundvall - The Shipyard
Tor Lundvall has graced us with yet another remarkable album this year.
Previously, Lundvall had introduced himself to Dais with his masterpiece
album Sleeping & Hiding and struck lightning twice with the
resilient The Seasons Unfold box set and now we are humbled once again
to receive his most recent effort. The Shipyard was recorded during the
dramatic season change-over of �09/�10, during which time Lundvall was
immersing himself in portrait studies of local maritime themes and
nautical life at the docks. This instrumental collection of songs
composed the soundtrack to the final renderings of these conceptional
ideas put side by side, for which semblance he is most know for. Limited
to 500 hand numbered vinyl copies (comes with a free digital download
coupon) with artwork by Tor Lundvall.
