Wodwo – You Only Call Me When There’s An Apocalypse CD

goii (German Ocean 2) is the follow up to the Brighton post-ambient dronescape merchants’ eponymous debut. Where the first album took listeners to the cold deep seas, goii attempts to reach for the sky; the five tracks acting as an imagined map into a world of thinning oxygen and eerie silence, punctured by the external drones of engines, propellers, the rattle of mounted cannon and movements of air that sing their strange songs along to the inner voices, chants (or prayers?) of men and women experiencing the thrill and fear of altitudes their fleshy bodies were never meant to attain. The fields below are a patchwork quilt bounded by hedgerows and dotted with sheep, grazing without a care in the world or a single thought for the feats of bravery, love and bloodlust above.

everything (including drawings on the cover, from 1992–93) by WOJCIECH KUCHARCZYK 2013–2021 in many places. always on the run. MAD DIRECTOR’S CUT SERIES, Mik Musik 2021 – these are not just another remasters, actually most of the tracks are brand new or mixed again at least, this is this history (re)written from the scratch (almost) & (again). THIS IS Part 2 of this story. insane electronic outsiders music imagined soundtrack wave songs post-industrial post-techno post-world doom climate crisis stuff plus science fiction.

The Town That Was Murdered is Draaier’s love/hate letter to their home town of Jarrow, an a homage to the book written by Red Ellen Wilkinson. Forgotten at best, actively dismantled at worst, Jarrow is a signifier of the treatment of Northern industrial towns. Pitch black in places but not without glimmers of hope, there is a violence and frustration that runs underneath the surface, a resentment at being ostracised.
