HENRIK NORDVARGR BJÖRKK
Vitagen
(Essence Music | ESS004) - CD

Driven by obsessive ideas and an uncontrollable will of producing quality
ambience, he's the man of many projects - MZ.412, Folkstorm, Toroidh, not
to mention the successful recent collaboration with Masami Akita (aka
Merzbow) -, but it's under his given name and very own grim fashion that
Mr. Björkk delivers the most suffocating music around.

Pitch black holes of sound meet glitchy, cold elektronika overtones and
haunted minimalist atmospheres, building a foundation for rhythmic
movements, detailed drones, distant rumbles and disembodied voices. The
different shades of black and grey Nordvargr paints with have never been
more disturbing and at the same time more beautiful!

Mastered by Peter Andersson and housed in a custom 6-panel digisleeve
packaging. The definitive masterwork from the Nordic giant of modern dark
ambient music! Limited edition of 800 copies.

|| $15 (postpaid worldwide).
PayPal, cash and money orders accepted.

** Also available in a strictly limited luxurious handmade box housing the
standard edition, a set of 6 professionally printed cards in textured paper
and a beautifully crafted porcelain doll. A perfect and sinister, yet
innocent companion to the music of Henrik Nordvargr Björkk!

Dear friends,
here's the latest news from Fin de Siècle Media.
___________________________________

First of all, we are proud to annouce that our two Contrastate releases have
arrived from the pressing plant and are available for purchase. Because of
this, we also made it easier to get other Contrastate releases - directly
from us! Buy at least two items and get a free surprise!

CONTRASTATE - SEVEN HANDS SEEK NINE FINGERS CD
http://fdsmedia.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&for_seller=FDSMEDIA&a_refno=GML759751819

1. As Time Began [19:44]
2. Thirst For Knowledge [11:10]
3. The Man Seeking Experience Enquires His Way of a Drop of Water [8:20]

This, the debut LP from Contrastate arises in a fragmental series of images,
a heavy atmosphere gradually settling into a certain path creating new
formations.
Contrastate was formed in 1987 by Stephen Meixner and Jonathan Grieve. Two
years later their debut LP "Seven Hands Seek Nine Fingers" was released on
their own label Black Rose Recordings, in a limited edition of 500 copies.
Since then, Contrastate continued to gain critical acclaim and a cult
following for their challenging mixture of dark atmospheric soundscapes and
surreal humour. Tragically, the band decided to split up five years ago.
As big admirers of Contrastate's legacy, Fin de Siècle Media are very proud
to present the remastered issue of "Seven Hands Seek Nine Fingers",
available on CD for the first time. This is pretty much an essential
document in the history of experimental music, by one of the most underrated
acts throughout the years. Listen and learn!

CONTRASTATE - FALSE FANGS FOR OLD WEREWOLVES CD
http://fdsmedia.gemm.com/ddc/search.pl?&for_seller=FDSMEDIA&a_refno=GML759751822

1. I am a clown collecting moments (and other chocolates) [4.37]
2. Poodles in practice dress at the Battersea dogs' opera [0.32]
3. Like a saint on a stake [3.11]
4. Virophilia [7.42]
5. Circumcised by a blind rabbi [9.26]
6. Extract no.10 [5.49]
7. Through the lens of a mad eye [3.35]
8. Pierre never made it [5.21]
9. From the opened red lips [3.42]
10. In like a bull, out like a general [6.04]
11. The birth of Zarathustra [6.12]
12. My body... [6.42]
13. Locomotive shudder [4.20]

Ever since the demise of Contrastate five years ago, there has been a void
in the experimental music scene that no other act has managed to fill. Their
diverse creative output, manifestated as sweeping electronics and sound
manipulation together with theatrical spoken word, was nothing less than
mindblowing in its complexity and originality.
Fin de Siècle Media hereby does mankind a great favour by presenting a
collection of rarities, singles and previously unreleased material.
Contrastate believed that rather than trying to re-create studio material,
new songs would be specifically written to be performed live. It was also
seen as a practical matter of attempting to move on each time. And unlike
other bands who contribute rejected album material to compilations,
Contrastate treated each project with utmost respect and dedication - and a
great sense of humour. For these reasons, their music demands - and
deserves - your full attention. You won't regret it.
This retrospective contains thirteen tracks recorded between 1989-1999, and
among the many rare pieces is the last ever Contrastate recording - written
for the album they were working on when they decided to go separate ways.
Furthermore, you will also find tracks from since long deleted cassettes,
vinyls and CDs, and perhaps even the Backwards Diva!

"We were dancing, and we loved it. Has anyone missed us? Oh!"

Due to some problems with logistics, we weren't able to bring the new The
Protagonist CDEP "Interim" with us, but now it's finally out on Cold Meat
Industry - together with "A Rebours" which has been out of stock for quite
some time.
