Dark Entries is honored to present the highly limited second cassette by British duo Nagamatzu for the first time ever on vinyl. “Sacred Islands of the Mad” is a collection of eleven tracks recorded between December 1984 and March 1986. agamatzu began in 1982 after messing around with old tape machines and drum boxes, making numerous contributions to international compilations and erratically releasing their own cassettes. Their name comes from a character in JG Ballard’s “Atrocity Exhibition” and their music reflects his influence and incorporates carefully chosen samples from the Challenger shuttle disaster, Gregorian chants and films including “Dawn of the Dead” and “The Omen.” All the songs were recorded onto a Ferrograph reel to reel in a small room at their parent’s house and some of the backing rhythms and sequencers were recorded first onto cassette and then the band played along live. Nagamatzu’s instrumentals combine stuttering bass, guitar bursts and funeral keyboards draped over a dragging drum machine beat, calling to mind Clock DVA, Cabaret Voltaire and early New Order or Cocteau Twins. “Sacred Islands of the Mad” is a complex, textured tapestry of sound full of dark electronics, fresh harmonies and danceable rhythms.
The Exaltics are back with a new album on Last Known Trajectory. Short, sharp, electro styles in the form of ‘Irresistible’ and ‘Calculate’ devised to strike the target head-on, while the brooding, soulful, even graceful, techno gloom of ‘Relentless’ warns of impending doom. Dark times… dark vibes.
CRC, one half Morphology, returns to Heliocentric Music with two new blistering tracks in the vein of famous 90ies UK-IDM Techno. The contribution by Myon is a 9-minute cut with huge basslines and strings that will rock your socks of.
Four tracks of deep techno and electro produced by Nick Dunton, one half of The 65D Mavericks. This EP represents a bit of a departure from his hard-edged 65d style, and brings four beautiful tracks steeped in soulful imagery. It’s all classic Detroit style techno on here ranging from solid sweet dub techno to more string laden electro tracks with beautiful spoken voices. ‘Lost Love’ is absolutely the winner but all 4 tracks are top notch
Fresh, exciting synthpop album from Finland’s Jaakko Eino Kalevi. “Modern Life” is a tradition-conscious and rather minimalist disco, definitely dance music. The album includes a couple of killer hitting, but otherwise the atmosphere is dreamlike and peaceful.
Fine Art with another piece of sultry nu-disco/house. This time its london’s Capracara (aka Jonathan Burnip). This vinyl only release of “Panic Beats” includes (beside the original version of course) a sweet remix from Diskjokke.
