$12.00
Catalog #:
GI 001CD
"The record that started it all... Tadd Mullinix, that man that would become Dabrye, delivered the very first Ghostly full-length in 2000, a massive, romantic collection of worldly grandeur that touched upon the baroque elements of his classical training and the writhing glitch of his teenage music. A future legend makes his first musical statement. Now re-released to the masses."

"
Tangent 2002: Disco Nouveau
is a compendium of the Robot Disco sound as seen through the eyes of contemporary electronic musicians. The Disco in question, or 'Disko' as it is often referred to, is the electronic dance music from the late 1970's and early 1980's spawned from the icy textures and synthesized basslines of Giorgio Moroder ('I Feel Love'...). This music harkens back to an era of colorful futurism encompassing the boom of video game culture and also perhaps the last great visual futurist agenda that has succeeded in changing our commercial landscape, from font types to fashion. Visions of both high optimism coupled with the hope/fear of a computerized tomorrow, define an era that will be remembered for excess and vanity, of innovation and dream-like plasticity." Artists include: Mat-101, Adult, Legowelt, Solvent, Daniel Wang, Charles Manier, Ectomorph, I-F feat. Nancy Fortune, DMX Krew, Perspects, Lowfish, Susumu Yokota, Hong Kong Counterfeit, Memory Boy. All exclusive tracks specially commissioned for this project. 2nd pressing in digipak cover.

GI 009EP
"For Manier, the sawtooth bassline rogue, Industrial Electro comes fast, hard and full of spooky funk. After appearing on both our seminal
Tangent 2002: Disco Nouveau
compilation and Adult.'s
Misery Loves Company
collection for Ersatz Audio, Manier releases his debut 12" and the results are stranger than ever. The title cut is a slab of searing electro, peppered with deranged lyrics and compelling personal mythology. Manier's violent funk is both infectious and abrasive, hot and cold. The flipside starts with 'Uncompromised Awareness' a Dada-inspired piece of analog metallic grit, cautiously snaking around Manier's garbage-talk. The plate is concluded by perhaps the most telling revelation of Manier's paranoia, the cyberpunk throwdown, 'I Can't Leave' which is the sound of the walls closing in on our protagonist, all accompanied by a damn catchy beat."

"Tadd is back and the tension resumes... The follow-up to Mullinix's critically acclaimed debut and his Dabrye LP's,
Panes
is a dense racket of thick swamp music, heavy with the weight of his own psyche. A visceral look inside the mind of the artist,
Panes
is the aural equivalent of psychoanalysis, revealing influences of dub and artful noise between layers of emotional comeuppance. First edition in a special cardboard package." 27-minute mid-length release.

Catalog #:
GI 013CD
Features a well-sequenced selection of mostly exclusive tracks from Ghostly's current/future roster: Dabrye, Midwest Product, Charles Manier, Matthew Dear, Kiln, Kill Memory Crash, James Cotton, Dykehouse, Outputmessage, Tadd Mullinix, Kero. "
Idol Tryouts
represents the avant-pop of a new generation of Midwestern producers, straddling the edge of abstract electronics, shimmering indie rock, Detroit techno and cutting-edge hip-hop. It is the point where the avant-garde and the popular meet, tearing away from the hierarchy of genres and the strain of electronic puritanism in order to create new and engaging sounds. The diverse artists featured on Ghostly International and its sister label, Spectral Sound, showcase Ghostly's brand of musical regionalism. Having been raised on and influenced by Detroit electronic music and its noir-ish themes of future, an indelible mark has been left on the city's suburbs. Ann Arbor, a stone's throw from this famed center of modernist production, is Detroit's freeform other-half. The music on this collection showcases a dramatic spirit with an equal focus on both art and dancefloor interests, seeking contemplative and humanistic ideals. A new generation of artists are searching for the space between heady academia and willful naiveté in music and are finding results that represent the spirit of the age, rather than its machines. The music on this collection represents these conditions and the zeal of its creators in making music that is post-'IDM' and furthermore meaningful in various contexts. So exists the Ghostly International company and this collection of artists whose work exemplifies not only the diversity of their personal interests, but the expanding tastes of a new generation of music lovers who have become fans of electronic music, the music of this generation."

"The madness never stopped.
Disco Nouveau

CD

Catalog #:
GI 015CD
"For over 10 years, Alex and Adam of Chicago's Kill Memory Crash have developed their own blend of dark electronic music without major release. Starting their musical career in Detroit, the group began performing at raves and warehouse parties in the mid-to-late 90's, slowly translating their leftfield influences into a new, cryptic language. Standing on the dividing lines between techno and other musics forced the duo to develop their own style, and early works resembled dark chasms of industrial noise. Their indifference to the popular styles of the day led them into an almost self-imposed exile from the music business and only extremely limited vinyl pressings ever surfaced. Alex and Adam have honed their music to its current state, a sinister blend of industrial, ambient and IDM, working away at the boundaries that held them as outsiders until now.
When the Blood Turns Black
is a bold first look at a group who blend a complex production style with a searing early electronic attitude. The result is a relentless debut of IDM-infused Industrial and twisted
machine-funk. Kill Memory Crash has a sound that calls upon their heroes (Ministry, Coil, etc.), but that is made completely their own in the process. Bone-hard and Electrified, this is the sound of the machines gone bad."

"Lusine is the brainchild of Jeff McIlwain, and his shimmering, melodic vision of abstract electronic music. Having attended Cal Arts to study 20th century electronic music and sound design for music and film, he first began creating his lush interpretation of IDM many years ago. Since then, he has contributed tracks and remixes to various labels, including a full-length,
Iron City
, for Mad Monkey/Hymen and a split 10",
Sustain
, for Delikatessen, all aside from his prolific output for pioneering American IDM label, Isophlux. Fate brought Lusine and Ghostly International together and we are immensely proud to offer this fantastic and diverse EP. The record is a perfect description of the Ghostly label ethos, a blend of warm IDM, minimal Techno and Electro, equally at home at the club and on headphones. This release will further strengthen Lusine's recognition as not only one of the country's finest electronic producers, but one of the world's foremost creators of engaging experimental music altogether."

Catalog #:
GI 022EP
Part 1 of 2, includes: Original Mix, Perspects Cut-Up Mix, Schneider TM Mustanng Remake, Lowfish Remix.
"Solvent, AKA Jason Amm, has been making his inimitable brand of Robot Pop since the Mid-90's, simultaneously co-running the revered Suction Records since 1997, a label that even Andrew Weatherall deems as essential territory.
One of the few true classics of the new synth era, Solvent's 'My Radio' (from Ghostly's
Tangent 2002: Disco Nouveau
) has become one of the most lasting impressions of the last few years in electro. In keeping with Ghostly's commitment to pushing songs in the electronic realm, a coda release for the song, plus a new single, 'For You', was conceived between Amm and the label.
Radio Ga Ga
is a concept release as much as it is a remix collection. Encouraged to create 'interpretations' of the Solvent oeuvre, the featured artists have held true to the spirit of the original songs but also have added something completely new to their renditions. Mute's electronic-pop wunderkind, Schneider TM, dusted off his Fender Mustang for his rework of 'My Radio', complete with new lyrics and attitude, while Holland's electro master, Legowelt, turned the melancholy ode to the yesterday's radio into an F.U. body-music resistance track.
Re-rubs of 'For You', a bizarre but funky love song, finds Suction co-founder, Lowfish, fattening the original up for the clubs and Morr Music mainstays, ISAN, stripping the song into almost an ambient seasoning of its former self.
Also included are 2 new Solvent songs, 'Radio Goo Goo' and 'Polyphonic' which offer a glimpse as to the direction of his forthcoming 2004 LP,
Apples and Synthesizers
.
Moody, emotive, playful and even sexy, Solvent's music seems to find that perfect place between wit and sincerity. Producing music with an ice-cold production style but warm rich centers."

Catalog #:
GI 026EP
"Kill Memory Crash are back. The follow-up to their debut mini-LP,
When the Blood Turns Black
, 'Never Forget' takes the intensity of their debut and amplifies it ten fold. More violence, more blood. 'Never Forget' gives a look into thier 2004, yet-to-be-named full-length, that will surprise with more ambient moments as well. The flipside is a remix of one of
Blood's
standout cuts. The menacing 'Technasty' gets a facelift by the Crash boys and the result is a heavier, meaner monster."

Push EP
for Ghostly. The classic, ethereal original warrants mixes by Matthew Dear, Ghostly's Cepia, Perlon's Dimbiman (of Pantytec) feat. Cabanne, and a new mix by Lusine himself. One of our finest releases to date, the marriage of electronic style and acute melancholy is rarely matched."

Catalog #:
GI 031EP
"Cepia (pronounced 'SEPP-ee-uh') is the sound of industry meeting with the vague memories that rest somewhere in the back of everyone's mind. Processed bells lilt and chime at their whim, while kick drums skitter and scramble to catch up. Infinite layers of clicks and drones provide the glue that holds it all together perfectly. Minneapolis-based Huntley Miller, a radio archivist and the man behind Cepia, fuses all the most affecting elements of pop, rock, and jazz composition -- polyrhythms, countermelodies, calculated structures and melodic hooks -- into a cohesive electronic whole. The
Dowry EP
is at once distinctly modern and undeniably timeless."

"Steeped in the shadows of Chicago, Kill Memory Crash (a.k.a. A. SanFacon and A. Sieczka) follow 2003's
When the Blood Turns Black
with
American Automatic
, ushering in a new era of industrial music with a calculated assault on the post-Warp electronic scene. Each song on
American Automatic
develops the band's exploration of the prickly outer edges of human psychology and neurosis, building a formidable musical arsenal. The air of mystery about
American Automatic
is nearly tangible, underpinning the album's highly relevant focus on the darkness of the modern era. As such an affecting and rejuvenating fusion of rock, electro, and industrial styles,
American Automatic
will leave an indelible mark not only on the psyche and the dancefloor, but also on the scene from which it was born."

"Following their debut full-length
American Automatic
, Chicago's Kill Memory Crash return with an exclusive 12" mix of 'The O.' Riding a dirty, driving, dancefloor-ready acid line, this version takes the song in an even darker, more urgent direction. Backed by a remix of LP track 'Doorway Nine' by The Hacker, this 12" keeps the limbs flailing with massive kick-punch beats and eerie vocal treatments that tap the mainline of any DJ who wishes to cast a formidable sonic shroud over the dancefloor."

"'Air' is the second single from the upcoming
Two/Three
, offering up a killer combination of crime-thriller synth ascensions and shuffling percussive whacks behind the words of shit-hot lyricist Doom, who gets self-reflexive in a sharp flow about the creation of the track itself, continuing the themes of identity and integrity that have guided his career. Backed by a shimmering remix by Dabrye himself, 'Air' is set to be a standout single, balancing the lyrical dexterity of one of hip-hop's most revered MCs against the unabashed analog sounds of a producer whose future notoriety is all but certain." 5-track EP, including instrumentals, a capella mixes.
