Confused Machines' are excited to release an E.P by the composer and producer Ishai Adar (aka Oosh). Adar started his musical journey in the mid 80's as the keyboard player of the legendary Israeli post-punk band 'Nosei Hamigbaat', together with his high school friend Ohad Fishof.After his withdrawal from the band, he released 'Her': An innovative, experimental, electronic dance album, rare in the Israeli music scene of the late 90's. In this album, he fused 80's synth-pop influences ('Depeche Mode', etc.) with a cutting edge techno sound, which still sounds up to date. This album influenced the local underground electronic music scene of the late 90's.Following the album 'Her', Adar became a prominent composer and created soundtracks for motion pictures such as: 'Year Zero' (2004), Oscar-nominated 'Beaufort' (2007), 'A Film Unfinished' (2010), 'Bethlehem' (2013) and 'Mr. Gaga' (2015).In his current project '12', Adar revisits the synth-pop sounds which shaped his musical taste. He infuses profoundness and character to musical genres such as new-wave, Italo-disco, Euro-pop and contemporary dance music forming - multi-layered, euphoric and romantic melodies. A killer acid-techno remix of the track 12 by the legendary Rude 66 is included in the E.P.

Words By Tom Smith.

Benny Divine's impressive musical CV includes quantities such as The Gary Wrong Group, Wizzard Sleeve and Nashville's prolific purveyor's of Foghat-pop, Natural Child, but it was just a short year ago that Goner gave wide release to the Bênní debut album, I & II, which launched the new sub-genre we now know as 'Hi-NRG New Age' and had its creator casually glancing over his shoulder for the rumored mobs of outraged Skyfax, Mannheim Steamroller and Windham Hill Records loyalists that could never quite catch up to his live performances, as they were not listed in back issues of TV Guide and Reader's Digest: Large Print Editions.

Whereas I & II was, as its title explicitly implicates, the combination of two previously-released cassettes, The Return is a nine-track song-cycle composed for the full-length format. Imagine this album as an alternative historical narrative: not as a source of soundtrack afterthought, but rather the initial spark of inspiration for an entire '70s sub-genre of gritty crime and science fiction films. Additionally, the fuzzy electro-pop chops are just as impressive as the spacey burps and gurgles that made his debut so gripping.

This Lp Includes "misterios Cosmográficos" Remastered Album, Originally Released In 1983, Plus 5 Tracks Taken From "espiritus" Unreleased Cassette Originally Recorded In 1984.

1984: Chile Was A Place Where Very Little Space Was Given For Artistic Creation, Sometimes It Was Forbidden To Create. However, With A Determined Inner Strength, Mr. Valdés Decided To Take This Project Forward Self-producing His Own Tape Cassettes (diy Culture). He Wanted To Show The Young People, His Friends And Family That The Chilean Could Create Music At The Best Level In The World

Peripheral Minimal Is Proud To Present, 'v/a Prophecy + Progress: Uk Electronics 1978 - 1990 Lp', A Thirteen-track Compilation That Represents The Burgeoning Electronic Music Scene In The Uk.

This Isn't Simply Another Synthpop Compilation, Or Some Nostalgic Frippery, But An Eclectic Mix Of Acts That Were Experimenting With Newly Available Technology At A Time When The Punk Scene Had Imploded And The Music Press Was Busy Coining New Genres As An Attempt To Continue Its Legacy (although Synth-pop In Part Arose From Punk Rock, It Abandoned Punk's Emphasis On Authenticity And Often Pursued A Deliberate Artificiality, Drawing On The Critically Derided Forms Such As Disco And Glam Rock. Although Electronic Experimentation Had Been Explored In The Decades Before, It Was Still Considered 'alien', "eerie, Sterile, And Vaguely Menacing", And Even Downright, 'austere And Fascisistic'. It May Have Taken The Likes Of Gary Numan Or Depeche Mode Et Al To Switch The Record Buying Public To Synthesizer Music, But Bubbling Underground Were A Myriad Of Experimenters Recording In Relative Secrecy In Industrial Cities Like Sheffield Or Post-war London, At A Time When The Tories Came Back Into Power And Utterly Altered The Political Landscape, And Produced A Generation Of, 'thatcher's Children' (selfish, Arrogant And Materialistic). The Antidote Seemed To Be Quiet Rebellion In The Shape Of Dark And Alienating Soundscapes By Acts That Are Now Considered 'pioneers', Or Achieving Cult Status, In A New Era Of Throwaway Pop And Trite 'new Wave' Impersonators.

Many Of The Acts Herein Will Be Familiar With Followers Of Synth Or Industrial Music, Some Perhaps Lesser Known. We've Also Included Slightly 'later' Works By Artists That Were Already Firmly Established In The Early 80s As A Comparison, And For The Pure Arrogance Of It. It's An Attempt To Rekindle Those Heady Days Of Experimentation And To Encourage New Generations To Rebel And Forgo The Fashionable Posturing That Comes With Anything Vaguely 'interesting'.

Limited To 500 Copies With Printed Inner-sleeve.

Job Sifre is one of the guys bringing new blood into the Amsterdam scene. This is the follow-up to his recently released debut on the new Artifical Space label, where he continues his path of solid EBM fueled electronix. The record ends with the gorgeous 'At Least We Try', showing of his more tripping, rhythmic side. Beautiful complementary artwork by Stefan Unkovic.

Latitudes is spiritual / new age-ish / floaty / cosmic - referencing the interlacing common threads of all things, while dancing inside the stirring / moving spaces between those threads. A sort of micro/macro/micro observation of energy and movement. It finishes with a celebration of the impermanent / permanent.

Mike runs Oxtail Recordings and performs in the group Aviary (who he is on tour with now) - he also has several releases under his own name. Andrew has previously released music under the name Channeling, and works at RVNG Intl.

At the intersection of music being presented in a certain framework, questions regarding musical quality, intentionality, virtuosity and purpose arise. The work 'Preset Music' engages with questions regarding compositional intentions. Notes, chords - and often times improvised snippets of music - are exclusively serving the purpose of showcasing the instrument itself. 'Preset Music' aims to display the juxtaposition of intentionality and non-intentionality in music and composition. With the gesture of intentionally sampling and composing, using non- intentional musical material - in the sense of purposive presentation regarding the instrument - the seven compositions stand in direct contrast to the presenters' original intentions.

'Preset Music' is the result of complex sampling strategies working with looped segments, automation, pitch, timbre, speed and mapping amongst other.

Poemme is the ambient project of Angela Klimek, who first began creating music for fun in 2016 to supplement her husband's sleep music radio station, Ambient Sleeping Pill. Since then, she hasn't been able to stop recording tracks for sleep as well as brighter, more daytime-oriented drones from Cleveland, Ohio.

Moments in Golden Light is a small collection of such daytime soundscapes, painting a forest scene during the magical hour after sunrise in which the earth is bathed in gold.

Del Mar Skate Park, California, Summer '84. Blinding sun hits chrome sending rainbow prisms across hot asphalt. There's a buzz in the air. Teenage dreams and dope smoke mix with the Pacific breeze. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. This summer's never gonna end. Tricks are being pulled and moves are being made that these crowds have never seen. Even the wood-pushers are blown away. Seeds sewn a decade ago by Todd and Devin Banks on Overland Drive have come to fruition. Dominguez is up next, he's 15, and hitting 6 feet of air. Then it's Gonzalez. And Vanderspek. This is going down in history.

Except this isn't the West Coast of America. And the sun's not shining. These are the grey suburbs of Leicester and London. And our Bmx's are shit.

WHEN HARO MET SALLY is the soundtrack to one seemingly endless summer, when teenage heartbreak ruled supreme, everything American seemed cool, and all we did from dawn 'til dusk was dream about girls and ride our bikes.

Spanning early 80's VHS soundtracks, teenage electro, heartbreak synths and Italo Disco, WHEN HARO MET SALLY will transport you back to that endless sun-baked teenage summer... that none of us ever had.

First time reissue on any format of the 1994 album by Spectrum. Spectrum is the project of Sonic Boom (ex-Spacemen 3 as well as Experimental Audio Research) and collaborators.

Technically his 3rd album but the 2nd under the name Spectrum. Carrying on the signature sound exemplified on Soul Kiss (Glide Divine)', Highs, Lows, And Heavenly Blows' lulls the listener into a deep trance with it's droning and hypnotic tracks and treated vocals on top of a myriad of analog synths and Sonic's recognizable guitar treatments. The first track Undo the Taboo' sets the stage for a meditative ride that doesn't let up until the last track.

Absolutely crucial and long awaited reissue.

Forever Colour Is The 2nd Album By Kit Grill Released On Primary Colours. The Record Was Inspired By A Road Trip Through Arizona, Utah And California During 2017.

All Tracks Written And Recorded By Kit Grill In 2017/18.

The next title in Delights catalogue marks the return of the Jerusalem/Tel Aviv duo Group Modular. On this new double-sider, Markey Funk and Mule Driver (Confused Machines) continue exploring the synth-centric library music sound, taking it in much heavier and edgier direction. The mid-tempo "Black Ray", inspired by science fiction warfare, is backed with an upbeat bikesploitation chase theme "Acid Wheels" on the flip.

Recommended for fans of Mr Chop, Drumetrics and the 70's horror soundtracks.

Never-before Released, The Epic Ocean Breeze Makes The Perfect Companion For The Sonic World Kokubo Created With His Original Release, Imbued As It Is With The Same Serene Sense Of Understated Beauty.

Acid Hologram Is A Record That Travels Between Past, Present And Future. It Is A Real Mix Of Different Stiles, This Makes It Difficult To Define As A Genre. Analogue Incursions Typical Of Acid And Electro Fuse With The Melodic Immediacy Of Trance, Cohabit With Cruel Drum Breaks And Crazy Idm Interventions, Creating A Scenario Composed Of Different Styles And Nuances, Bizarre As Well As Emotional, Enveloped By An Idea Of Euphoria Typical Of The Underground Music Of The Early 90s, That Allowed Us To Rediscover A Personal Sound, Without Compromise. Produced Between The End Of 2013 And 2017, It Was Published As A Limited Edition And The First Cassette Release By Weme Records, The Idea Of The Format Justifies The Need To Publish Such A High Number Of Tracks, On An Alternative Medium That Is Able To Reflect The Identity Of An Equally Unconventional Sound. The Tracklist Titles Reveal Visual Suggestions That Recall The Years Of The Rave Scene Of The Early 90s And The Cyberpunk Imaginary In Which The Author Grew Up

After Years Of Appearances On Compilations And As A Group Member, Composer And Improvisor Jeff Snyder Has Released His Debut Album, Sunspots, On Carrier Records. Much Like The Actual Phenomena Of Sunspots
- Cyclical, Chaotic, And Powerful - Snyders Album Invokes The Sense That There Are Underlying Forces At Work Which Do Not Easily Conform To Human Expectation Or Yield To Human Analysis. This Is Pure Electronic Music, Meant For Loudspeakers. Drawing On His Love Of Great Synthesis Albums Of The 20th Century, Snyder Created Sunspots Using A 1970s Buchla Synthesizer At Elektronmusikstudion In Stockholm. He Improvised Each Of The Four 18- Minute Tracks, Controlling The Buchla With One Of His Own Creations, The Snyderphonics Jd-1 Keyboard/ Sequencer. Organic, Mysterious And Inscrutable, Sunspots Is Nonetheless Purely Human, As The Records Audible Honesty And Vulnerability Draw The Listener Closer. Sunspots
Is Available As A Digital Download In Both Stereo And Quadraphonic Mixes, And As A Stereo Vinyl Dual Lp. The Two Pieces On First Record Are A Patchwork Of Extures, Recalling Morton Subotniks Silver Apples Of The Moon (also Recorded
With A Buchla Synth) Or Bernard Parmegianis De Natura Sonorum, But Filtered Through Snyders Grittier Modern Language. The Second Disc Abandons This Frenetic Melange And Settles Into A Pair Of Static Drones, Alternately Punishing
And Ethereal, Merzbow Versus Radigue. Yet Throughout The Music Is At Ease: Perfectly Refined Timbres Given Fragile Placement In Time, At Once Focused Yet Depicting Large Spaces And Magnificent Structures. But Sunspots Exists As More Than An Album. Snyder Has Also Created A Website (http://sunspots.scattershot.org/) That Functions As An Immersive Virtual Installation, Combining Music With Arresting Visuals. Three Generative Web-art Pieces Allow The Listener To Virtually Travel Inside A Space Inspired By The Sonic World Of The Record. In The Installation, Fixed Forms Dont Apply - The Listener Creates Their Own Visual And Aural Trajectory In Collaboration With The Algorithms That Continuously Permutate The Material.
