Title:	OperettAmorale
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 001CD

"OperettAmorale is Massimo & Pierce's personal tribute to the poetry of German poet, playwright and thinker Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). The album is composed of 11 classic Brech songs, here revisited according to Massimo & Pierce's irreverent attitude. Massimo & Pierce invited some of their friends to contribute to OperettAmorale. COIL recorded the song 'A List of Wishes' (one of the latest studio performances by Johnn Balance) purposely for this album. 'The Ballad of Sexual Dependency' is here delivered by the incomparable voice of Lydia Lunch. H.R. Giger contributed with the cover artwork and a vocal cameo appearance on 'Seeräuber-Jenny.' OperettAmorale was produced by Massimo & Pierce in collaboration with Larsen's member Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo, who also provided some original music and the acoustic arrangements. Among the musicians who participated in OperettAmorale's recording sessions are Julia Kent (Antony and the Johnsons) and Marco Schiavo (Larsen). Packaged in an elegant digipack with detailed booklet."

Artist:	BALANCE, JHONN
Title:	Grief/The Snowman
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	7"
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 002EP

"As a memorial and a tribute to the art, life, and passing of a truly gifted artist and silver tongued poet, Divine Frequency Records would like to present 'Grief,' a limited 7" picture disc featuring the voice of Jhonn Balance. This release presents a solemn pair of hard to find and out of print tracks featuring Jhonn Balance as guest vocalist. Besides his work as Coil, Balance was an avid collaborator and his voice was an infrequent but always noteworthy addition to the recordings of other artists. It was this spirit of experimentation that was the inspiration for the two tracks on this release. The A side, 'Grief,' by Tactile, is Balance's foreboding, minimalist collaboration with John Everall, originally appearing on the hopelessly out of print and much sought after Borderlands album. The B-side features 'The Snowman,' by Rosa Mundi, which is a tranquil wintry piece featuring his vocals as well as those of Rose McDowall. This piece originally appeared on Sorrow's now out of print The Final Solstice 2 CD. Featuring stark black and white imagery from Simon Marsden and Twilight Photography, this release is presented in the form of a simple but elegant picture disc strictly limited to 777 copies."

Artist:	AURAL RAGE
Title:	Sinsemilla Dreams
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 003CD

"A carefully selected collection of remixes, reconstructions, and unreleased material from Coil collaborator and Nine Inch Nails remixer, Danny Hyde. Sinsemilla Dreams showcases a mischievous side of Danny Hyde's twisted psyche, bringing you over an hour of bizarre, mystic rhythms with ambient interludes and orchestral intermissions. In addition to the vocal talents of Joanna DeSyne and the late Jhonn Balance (RIP), several other musicians have lent their remixing talents to this disc. This includes: Andrew Sega, who has remixed bands such as Delerium. Also, Andreas Meyer, whose groundbreaking 'electro-industrial' project Forma Tadre turned many heads over a decade ago with his 'Lovecraftian' inspired Navigator album. All remixes were made using technology that was available at the time each track was originally recorded. This maintains a decidedly nostalgic quality, yet 'updates' this essential Hyde work over a decade later since its original manifestation. Packaged in full-colour digipak."

Artist:	GRASSOW, MATHIAS
Title:	Ambience
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 004CD

"Divine Frequency Records is proud to present the reissue of Mathias Grassow's classic and hard to find Ambience album, an hour-long voyage into hypnotic tranquility and minimalist bliss. This release flitters and ebbs at the edges of perception, neither growing too intense nor becoming too distant. With the assistance of Klaus Weise (ex Popul Vuh) on Tibetan singing bowls, Mathias weaves a luminous web of sound which promises to bring the weary travelers of the world a little closer to their journey's end. CD packaged in a full color digipack with all new artwork."

Title:	Loops Over Land
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 005CD

"Loops Over Land consists of about 50 min. of loops produced using an analog reel-to-reel tape deck and an analog tape delay system (provided by Neil Rolnick). The loops were constructed using random 'scissors clips' of Mahler's 5th Symphony and thus reflect the pastoral feel of his original composition. Some of what sound like drum beats in the loops are actually sloppy splices bathed in reverb. Production of the loops happened over the course of 2 days while I was confined to my apartment dodging an enormous snow storm. During these days of looping and confinement, I listened as deeply as possible to the sounds and envisioned large circular loops of light slowly turning over the landscape. The landscapes themselves were of lush green fields and hills dripping in recent rain while the loops shimmered gold each holding their own shape. Loops Over Land continues what I have been calling since 1987 'image drones.' Image drones are drones that are meant to evoke a very specific image for the listener. I also consider these recordings to reflect my interest in 'romantic structuralism,' a term coined by filmmaker Ken Jacobs. It seems illogical to bring the theories of structuralism and romanticism together (this was the seed of the split between Boulez and Stockhausen). However, the power of the 'structuralist activity' (see Barthes) lies in the possibility of revealing hidden functions and existing structures. The function of tonal materials in the works of Mahler were intended to induce emotive states in the listener. What I have done is isolated 'tonal moments' and made manifest their explicit function. The loops of Loops Over Land are loops of emotion embodied in the traditional form of minimalist composition. Will the loops always evoke the same feeling in every listener? I believe they will come close, at least to the Western ear." --Andrew Deutsch

Artist:	CENTROZOON
Title:	Angel Liquor
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 006CD

"With over 50 minutes of rich, electric ambience, Centrozoon's Angel Liquor CD is the fifth album by the duo of Markus Reuter and Bernhard Wöstheinrich. Primarily utilizing (touch) guitar, devices, and analog keys, the core material is created entirely in real-time. Only the slightest post production was involved with editing. Many tracks are based on graphic scores displaying a vast emphasis on textural elements, rhythm, and electronics. Markus has recently collaborated with King Crimson drummer Pat Mastelotto, both on stage and in the studio. These new recordings shows Markus and Bernhard in a more experimental mode, while maintaining a strong sense of form and restraint found in their earlier works. Featuring the stunning artwork of painter Francesco Lauretta."

Artist:	CARTER TUTTI
Title:	Feral Vapours of the Silver Ether
Label:	DIVINE FREQUENCY
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DIVF 007CD

"Conspiracy International and Divine Frequency are pleased to announce the much-anticipated new album by Carter Tutti, entitled Feral Vapours of the Silver Ether. Almost three years in the making, the eleven tracks on Feral Vapours mark an exciting and fecund sonic development for the influential electronic duo, as always with a glance to the past and a hard stare to the future. With their previous album Cabal (Conspiracy International 2004), Carter and Tutti initiated their new phase with a gentler and strikingly emotional collection of songs, and on Feral Vapours this renewed vision takes center stage: the album is awash with echoes of the sea, the moon, the open road, and flatlands. Nature oozes through songs such as 'Torn Window' and 'Forest Floor,' and the electronic and the acoustic are merged in a seamless, crafted, dense electronic masterpiece that is sure to become an important milestone in their already vast, eclectic body of work. Their renowned classic heartbeat dance grooves have become more subtle, the rhythmic, orchestral beats and massive bass undercurrents that have made Chris Carter one of the UK's foremost electronic composers are made fleshy and womb-like; Cosey's elemental vocals glide over these songs, occasionally mediated by her virtuoso slide-guitar glissandos and striations and a splash of gutsy, raunchy cornet. Feral Vapours stands as one of Carter Tutti's most important releases to date -- a rich and accessible collection of electronic torch songs that is sure to appeal to any fan of intelligent, sensitive and innovative music. This U.S. edition includes a bonus track and is packaged in a full-color digipak."
