Phil Knight (The Silverman), Erik Drost, and Raymond Steeg make up the current lineup of the band. The sound is often a conglomerate of electronics, saxophones, guitars, drums, and Ka-Spel's distinctive voice and lyrical invention. Side projects of the band include The Tear Garden (with Cevin Key from Skinny Puppy), and Mimir (with Christoph and Andreas Heemann), plus solo ventures). 

A prayer to the goddess of fertility

Old forgotten sounds to awake the real divinities.

Into mind implosion

To think in think.

(Amp is an English ambient/space/drone group based around the core members Richard Walker and Karine Charff. Walker was a member of a band in Bristol called The Secret Garden that incubated a number of groups including Flying Saucer Attack and Third Eye Foundation.

(The Myrrors is an experimental/psychedelic folk-rock band from from the Arizona desert; Centralstödet is a heavy garage psych group from Gothenburg, Sweden. They play music in the vein of classic 1970s progg bands such as Träd, Gräs och Stenar or Baby Grandmothers. ).

Extract from Rayuela: Tale 68 (Julio Cortázar, 1963):

"Apenas él le amalaba el noema, a ella se le agolpaba el clémiso y caían en hidromurias, en salvajes ambonios, en sustalos exasperantes. Cada vez que él procuraba relamar las incopelusas, se enredaba en un grimado quejumbroso y tenía que envulsionarse de cara al nóvalo, sintiendo cómo poco a poco las arnillas se espejunaban, se iban apeltronando, reduplimiendo, hasta quedar tendido como el trimalciato de ergomanina al que se le han dejado caer unas fílulas de cariaconcia. Y sin embargo era apenas el principio, porque en un momento dado ella se tordulaba los hurgalios, consintiendo en que él aproximara suavemente sus orfelunios. Apenas se entreplumaban, algo como un ulucordio los encrestoriaba, los extrayuxtaba y paramovía, de pronto era el clinón, la esterfurosa convulcante de las mátricas, la jadehollante embocapluvia del orgumio, los esproemios del merpasmo en una sobrehumítica agopausa. ¡Evohé! ¡Evohé! Volposados en la cresta del murelio, se sentían balpamar, perlinos y márulos. Temblaba el troc, se vencían las marioplumas, y todo se resolviraba en un profundo pínice, en niolamas de argutendidas gasas, en carinias casi crueles que los ordopenaban hasta el límite de las gunfias". 

Music to make you dubber

The greatest introspection ever in the history of the universe

Dreaming on winter ends...

(Jesu is a side project from Godflesh's frontman Justin K. Broadrick; the name comes from the final song on the final Godflesh record, a fitting title for Justin's next foray into rock music. While virtually every side project was electronic-based, Jesu is guitar-based. The indie rock band Sun Kil Moon was formed in 2002 by former Red House Painters frontman Mark Kozelek. SKM is comprised of longtime Painters' drummer Anthony Koutsos, drummer Tim Mooney (of American Music Club fame), and bassist Geoff Stanfield (of Black Lab), as well as a string trio from the San Francisco Conservatory). 

A noisewall against the new world order

Massive bomb attack upon the inhumans.

(Asva is an American experimental doom/sludge/drone metal band, originally formed by Stuart Dahlquist and B.R.A.D. in 2003. The name of the project is derived from a Sanskrit word aśva, meaning a "horse". Asva never fits traditional definitions of such genres as doom, sludge or drone, always presenting uncommon and unconventional interpretations, even though this project had a significant influence on the scene. But the latest album confirms the final departure from a realm of purely metal-related genres, being much more melodic and uplifted). 

A lonely candle in the sea

Strange realities of the inside world.

(Ghost Fish is an one-shot project featuring the australian singer Louisa John-Krol, members of Daemonia Nymphe & Nikodemos Triaridis). 

Awakening of united red blood

One anger feeling is arising from underground.

Messages from the grave

Six epitomes to explain the unknown.

(Blut Aus Nord was originally formed as Vlad in France in 1993 as a solo project lead by Vindsval. After two demos, In The Mist in 1993 and Yggdrasil in 1994, the name was changed to Blut Aus Nord. The band was signed to Impure Creations Records and released the full-length album Ultima Thulée, which introduced long-time member W.D. Feld on drums and keyboards and featured Ogat on bass. This was followed in 1996 by Memoria Vetusta I «Fathers Of The Icy Age», which included Ira Aeterna on bass (as a session musician).

In 2001 The Mystical Beast Of Rebellion was released, with Nahaim playing as session bassist. The Work Which Transforms God came out in 2003; this was the first appearance of GhÖst as the now-permanent bassist, thus completing the line-up that the band still has to this date. The album also featured session member Taysiah on vocals. The 10" split with Reverence (... Decorporation ...) followed in 2004, and the band has been releasing a steady stream of albums, and a few EPs, since.

The band's current line-up is: Vindsval (vocals, guitar), W.d.Feld (drums, keyboards), Thorns (drums) and GhÖst (bass).

A lesson of how to get through the glass

Deep breath in a full helium atmosphere.

(The Dagons is an USA L.A. based band, who mix fuzzy guitars, pounding drums & haunting vocals with dreamy lyrics referencing fairy tales & mythology to create their distinctive sound. They are a two-piece band from Los Angeles, made up of Karie Jacobson (guitar, vocals) and Drew Kowalski (drum set and sitar). The Dagons have “a unique, otherworldly feel which adds a sprawling, surreal quality to the genre of indie rock” and for their distinctive juxtapositions of contrasting elements, such as the short, stripped-down song forms of punk with dark, otherworldly psychedelia, or the contrast of fuzzy guitars and pounding drums with minor key melodies and dreamy vocals. Also unusual is the group’s use of distorted electrified sitar, played by The Dagons drummer and producer Drew Kowalski).

Before the late night

Tunes from a shooting blind clown.

(Belong is an American experimental music duo composed of Turk Dietrich and Michael Jones. The group formed in New Orleans in 2002. The duo's sound blends ambient styles, with a focus on guitar textures. Reviews have made comparisons to current electronica artists like Fennesz and Tim Hecker, as well as the early 1990s shoegazing sound attributed to bands such as My Bloody Valentine and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Guitars and synthesizers are run through various effects to produce the band's sound). 

A little bell bird

Before we begin to learn abut colours.

(Hailing from Birmingham, Broadcast, formed of Trish Keenan (vocals), Roj Stevens (keyboards), James Cargill (bass), Tim Felton (guitar) and Steve Perkins (drums); Broadcast’s intimate experimental pop is fuelled with references to the work of the seminal BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Ennio Morricone or John Barry. Often associated with Stereolab in the early days, the sound of the band has developed considerably. Unfortunately, lead singer Trish Keenan died of pneumonia on 14 January 2011 at the age of 42).

juramos en tu nombre continuar esta lucha
 
para que así florezca tu sangre derramada.

Seven stairs to mental disease.

(Gazelle Twin is the stage name of Elizabeth Bernholz,a British composer, producer and musician from Brighton, England. Walling conceived the project when she watched Fever Ray perform at the 2009 Loop Festival.

The rhythm of today's people

A reflected message of craziness.

(The Focus Group is an english one-man band created for Julian House. Primal Scream, Razorlight, and most relevantly, Stereolab and Broadcast's sleeve designer Julian House brings out the latent and intrinsic séance-like aspect of sampling with "a collection of individuals.. an empty church hall, hoofprints, mirrors, echoes, sequences of ordered greenery, televisual images, fonties and ortres".

When nothing is everything

Being afraid of sun.

(The Stahlschlag Industrial/Power Noise project was founded in February 2006 by Nicole Rahlf, and Sebastian Sünkler. It describes its style as a mix of different music genres like industrial, noise and ambient, maybe some other stuff too. Freizeitlärm” is a special album with rare and unreleases remixes for and by Stahlschlag)

A nail fracture in pain

Dead bodies at bottom of the river.

(The Body is a two-piece band playing heavy music with a wide array of influences and styles, from doom until harsh noise; Krieg was formed in 1995 by Neill Jameson under the name Imperial . In 1997 the band name was changed to Krieg and Jameson went under the alias "Imperial" until going mostly by his given name from 2012 onward. Since 1997 the band has only had one permanent member, Jameson, with a variety of different personnel from North America and Europe filling in at various times. Krieg has had dozens of releases throughout various styles, originally chaotic but most recently becoming a mixture of black metal, crust and post punk. Original lyrical themes stayed mostly in topics of death, destruction and war but from 2002 onward have been more autobiographical dealing with mental illness, anger and a disdain for the ways of the modern world).

Slow the time has passed since you left us...

A better time to harvest

Life is flowing from underground.

(The Myrrors is an experimental/psychedelic folk-rock band from from the Arizona desert).

In the path to deep sleep

Getting into an spyral of rapid eye movements.

(Jean-Jacques Perrey (born 20 January 1929, France - died 4 November, 2016, Switzerland) was a French electronic musician, composer and an early pioneer in the electronic music genre.

He was studying medicine in Paris when he met Georges Jenny, inventor of the Ondioline. Quitting medical school, Perrey travelled throughout Europe demonstrating this keyboard ancestor of the modern synth. At the age of 30, Perrey relocated to New York City, sponsored by Carroll Bratman, who built him an experimental laboratory and recording studio at 209 West 48th Street. Here he invented "a new process for generating rhythms with sequences and loops", utilising the environmental sounds of musique concrète. With scissors, splicing tape and tape recorders, he spent weeks piecing together a uniquely comic take on the future. Befriending Robert Moog, he became one of the first Moog musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment". In 1965 Perrey met Gershon Kingsley, a former collaborator of John Cage. Together, using an Ondioline and Perrey's loops, they created two albums for Vanguard: Perrey - Kingsley - The In Sound From Way Out! (1966) and Perrey & Kingsley - Kaleidoscopic Vibrations(1967). Perrey & Kingsley also collaborated on sound design for radio and television advertising.

Perrey returned to France, composing for television, scoring for ballet and continuing medical research into therapeutic sounds for insomniacs. Some of his compositions on library labels like Editions Montparnasse 2000 are credited to his daughter Pat Prilly. He said in an interview that she didn’t compose as such, but provided him with ideas and inspiration when she played on the organ. For this he gave her recognition). 

Snares of the end of times

Chaos and complexity of ionic flows painted on air.

(Multidisciplinary drummer and artist Katharina Ernst unites abstract composition and polyrhythmic solo performance on her absorbing debut solo album, Extrametric. The basis of the recording initially comprised drum exercises requiring deep concentration to propel separated elements forward into richly patterned grooves. Extrametric is the result of a long-lasting process of personal focus - the oldest rhythm on the record dates back a full 7 years - Katharina having dedicatedly refined her practice to focus on unusual structures and polymetric beats. The resultant performances reveal hitherto unexplored rhythmic layers. Tellingly, the artist refers to these pieces as études - musical ‘studies’ - describing the album as based more around a concept than any musical genre.

Alongside her drum set, Katharina employs various drum synthesizers, gongs, tam-tam, myriad small percussion, plus an amplified kalimba via guitar effect pedals . Furthermore, the music is playable live, solo, and miraculously without the use of playback. The breadth of sounds on display is bewildering for a solo drummer  - distorted melodies weave their way around jagged snare drum hits, while vibrant tom fills scurry elsewhere around hefty blowouts of monstrous distortion. On the album’s 8-minute centrepiece, a cavernous lattice of gong notes slowly collides to gain a creeping colossal power, taking rhythm far out beyond the confines of more standard beats.

While Extrametric is certainly a dizzying physical display of uncanny multitasking, it’s only by Katharina’s canny orchestration that her rhythm sketches become thoroughly compelling musical studies. Consistently danceable, Extrametric’s interlocking rhythms offer a gateway for the listener to perceive hitherto arcane polymetric complexities.

The possibility for listeners to take what they want from polyrhythmic music is keenly courted on Extrametric. Katharina suggests listeners can dance along at different tempi (according to which rhythmic layers they choose). But the implications of the music go beyond testing our perceptions of complex and chaotic musical systems. “Polyrhythms are an interesting political issue,” says Katharina. “Several different patterns/activities are going on at the same time with and/or without interfering; without any of them being superior.”)

A mirror with black reflections

Endless waves of harsh meditation.

(Tales Of Murder And Dust is a dark, experimental neo-psychedelic rock band from Aarhus, Denmark, founded in November 2007). 

Searching fro an empty space

A flow of dead spirits from the forest.

(Yann Faussurier has been making music under the moniker Iszoloscope since 1999, crafting pulsing, pounding soundscapes with a core of industrial, hard-core, break-core and rhythmic noise layered with intelligent and often surprising details, such as melodic percussions and carefully placed breaks, rich, orchestral textures and dark, cinematic distortions. Experimental in nature and charged with energy, the music evokes a darkness, tension and atmosphere which immediately carries the listener away on an immersive, complex journey of introspection. Founded as a collaboration in 1999, Iszoloscope became Faussurier’s solo project in 2001. Since then, the project has amassed an impressive oeuvre: 7 full-length albums on European labels Ant-Zen and Spectre, 8 successful tours in Europe and North America, several EPs and collaborations, a long list of remixes and compilations, and appearances at shows and festivals around the world, including a regular spot on the lineup at Germany’s Maschinenfest. In recent years, Iszoloscope's live and studio lineup has also included Shane Whitbread, Guillaume Nadon and Frédéric Scarfone).

Save the world from the world

Distorded sounds to face reality.

(Hypnoskull emerged as a project of Patrick Stevens in 1992, who combines the power of pure analog electronics with harsh rhythm structures to form an anarchic assault of noise and techno-industrial. After years of underground activism in the worldwide electronic underground network of industrial music, Hypnoskull reached a larger audience by putting out the album 'Rythmusmaschine 1-2' (1998), followed by 'Ffwd>Burnout!'(1999) and 'Electronic Music Means War To Us' (2001). Before that, Stevens also made a name as one half of the duo Sonar, a hardcore Belgian rhythmical industrial project. He also works with miss Mieke M. (Tunnel), and with Raoul Roucka (Noisex) under the name "Cybernetic:Fuckheadz". His solo projects like Sona Eact, Reset, Sliding Elements, Trivial Gender and 33MHz are released on various labels all around the globe).

(Lycia is an American dark wave band formed in 1988 in Tempe, Arizona. The main personnel of the band are Mike VanPortfleet, Tara Vanflower and David Galas. Although only achieving minor cult success, the band is notable for being one of the ground breaking groups in darkwave and ethereal wave styles. Lycia's music is characterized by rich soundscapes and layers of echoed guitars, dark and ethereal keyboards, doomy drum machine beats, VanPortfleet's melancholic, whispered vocals and Vanflower's vivid voice).

(Dead Can Dance is an Australian musical project formed in 1981 in Melbourne by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. The band relocated to London, England, in May 1982. Australian music historian Ian McFarlane described Dead Can Dance's style as "constructed soundscapes of mesmerising grandeur and solemn beauty; African polyrhythms, Gaelic folk, Gregorian chant, Middle Eastern mantras, and art rock."

Having disbanded in 1998, they reunited briefly in 2005 for a world tour and reformed in 2011 when they released and toured a new album, Anastasis. Right now they are releasing their new record,"Dionysus", more oriented in almost an instrumental way of musical expression)

Across a desert of thoughts

A last mission to leave life.

(Auburn Lull create lush space-rock and ethereal, Brian Eno-inspired soundscapes, at once filmic and pastoral. Despite the fact that the once-thriving Michigan space-rock scene has all but faded out, Auburn Lull continues to evolve their brand of technicolor sound, steadily attracting critical acclaim and an ever-growing fan base. Auburn Lull formed in Lansing, MI in 1994 by Jason Kolb (guitars), Eli Wekenman (guitars), Sean Heenan (guitars, vocals), and Jason Weisinger (drums). They were joined after by Ron Gibbs (bass, guitar)).
