Artist:	STEWART, MARK
Title:	The Politics Of Envy
Label:	FUTURE NOISE MUSIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.50
Catalog #:	FNM 002CD

At the end of 2011, a year of riots, revolutions, occupations and an increasing collapse of the global financial system, Mark Stewart returned with the limited 7" of Children Of The Revolution, perfectly capturing the restless mood on today's streets worldwide to create the apocalyptic dancehall mutation of T. Rex's glam classic. His new album, The Politics Of Envy, features a stellar cast, including original Clash/PiL guitarist Keith Levene, NYC punk innovator Richard Hell, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Gina Birch of The Raincoats, Slits bassist Tessa Pollitt, Jesus And Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart, Factory Floor, Daddy G of Massive Attack and all of Primal Scream. All roads have been leading to this. The Politics Of Envy cages, consolidates and hotwires the rampant barrage of elements which have infused Mark Stewart's work since his first band, The Pop Group blasted the post-punk landscape. "Vanity Kills" kicks off the album with cult film-maker Kenneth Anger on Theremin, plus Richard Hell and Bristol new-blood Kahn. Followed by "Autonomia," featuring Bobby Gillespie's frenetic call-and-response chant with Stewart, who wrote the song about Carlo Giuliani, killed at the 2001 G8 demonstrations in Genoa. Lee "Scratch" Perry guests on "Gang War," spitting diamonds, with Tessa Pollitt blanketing the dense, heavyweight urban dubscape, before Stewart takes us into the slo-mo cold-wave of "Codex." Joined by Factory Floor and Youth for "Want," Stewart then hits us with the album's fine example of 21st-century schizoid wall-of-sound, "Gustav Says." Railing against "corporate cocksuckers" and declaring "sanity sucks" on the cool disco-electro track "Baby Bourgeois," we're then taken into the huge, seething synth-crawl of "Method To The Madness," providing one of the album's atmospheric highlights, gouging beyond industrial or dubstep to create a frightening new take on modern mood music. Daddy G's unmistakable deep-throat intonations make the perfect garnish for the bleak, heaving whale of a tune, that is "Apocalypse Hotel." Being mutual fans of their work, Stewart gives us his version of David Bowie's "Letter To Hermione," now a spookily-orchestrated, beatless lament. Stewart turns on the light and lets Keith Levene unleash some of his inimitable metal guitar jangle on "Stereotype." They are joined by Factory Floor and Gina Birch on this slice of gorgeously-melancholic brilliance, an effortless modern pop classic which provides the perfect end to this intoxicatingly provocative set of songs. Continuing an unmatchable track record of anarchic pioneering and seismic influence, Mark Stewart is back with his eighth album and what must be his most high-profile project to date, reasserting him as one of the great volcanic creative minds.

Artist:	NOTHING BUT NOISE
Title:	Not Bleeding Red
Label:	FUTURE NOISE MUSIC (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	FNM 003CD

Twenty years in the making, Nothing But Noise, the trio led by Front 242 mastermind Daniel B and featuring original Front 242 member Dirk Bergen and Erwin Jadot, finally release their debut album Not Bleeding Red on Future Noise Music. Borne from a deep love of analog synthesizers and inspired by the likes of Manuel Göttsching, Tangerine Dream's early albums and Bowie's Berlin period, Not Bleeding Red is an album that fully deserves its place in the long and distinguished history of European synth acts. Created in Daniel B's studio, the album features an array of rare and vintage analog synthesizers such as the Moog Voyager, Prophet8, Juno 106 and Arp Odyssey. No nostalgia-fest though, the album also explores the possibilities afforded by today's new breed of analog synthesizers. Its lineage might be clear, but this is an album that looks forward, respectful of the past, but not in its thrall. Not Bleeding Red is an expansive affair, an album in love with sound itself and tracks such as the elegiac nearly 19-minute long "CK" are given time to evolve and develop in stately fashion, unfolding like some grand cosmic ballet. Uncompromising and haunting, this is an album that conjures up vast vistas of space, both cold and beautiful at the same time. On tracks like "Puzzle Cosmique" and "Second Seven," Nothing But Noise join the dots between the likes of electronic pioneers such as the Radiophonic Workshop through to present-day acts such as Sunn O))). Having honed the Nothing But Noise sound over the course of two decades and a series of critically-acclaimed live performances, Not Bleeding Red is the culmination of a lifetime's obsession with synthesized sound and a timeless example of how raw circuit boards can produce something stunningly beautiful. A fully-realized concept, Not Bleeding Red arrives in hardbook packaging with a 12-page photo booklet.

Artist:	STEWART, MARK
Title:	Children Of The Revolution/Nothing Is Sacred
Label:	FUTURE NOISE MUSIC (UK)
Format:	7"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	FNMSE 002EP

Mark Stewart, sonic visionary and pioneer of mutant music returns. Limited edition of 500, individually hand-painted and numbered 7" single for Black Friday. Double A-side. Each hand-worked sleeve constitutes one unique piece of Mark's bombart. Ultra-violently noisy and perfectly capturing the restless mood on today's global streets from London to Libya, these two non-album tracks come from recent sessions for Mark Stewart's forthcoming LP. The apocalyptic revamp of T. Rex's "Children Of The Revolution" sees Mark team up with The Bug for a jaggedly compulsive take on the glam classic. "Nothing Is Sacred" features Crass' Eve Libertine, Berlin electro monsters Slope and Pop Group bassist Dan Catsis -- a rabble-rousing clarion call and indictment of 2011 Britain.

Artist:	STEWART/PRIMAL SCREAM, MARK
Title:	Autonomia
Label:	FUTURE NOISE MUSIC (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	FNMTW 1002EP

Remix EP of the Mark Stewart/Primal Scream single "Autonomia" by two heavyweight champions of the underground, Pinch and JD Twitch. Pinch loads up on the dark and brooding, with a stripped and dubby Shackleton-esque interpretation, while Twitch opts for a warped and slo-mo, acid-licked stomp. Both offer deliciously moody interpretations of the first single from the upcoming Mark Stewart album The Politics Of Envy. Limited edition of 500.

Artist:	POLY STYRENE
Title:	Generation Indigo
Label:	FUTURE NOISE MUSIC (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	FNM 001CD

"At the end of 2010, Poly Styrene, the unforgettable front woman and iconic face of the seminal UK punk band X-ray Spex announced her return to the music scene with the album Generation Indigo produced by Youth (The Verve, Killing Joke, TheFireman, and Edwyn Collins). Poly Styrene remains a genuine icon and one of the main influences on the Riot Grrrl scenes with bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip, LeTigre and others recognizing her fiery, irrepressible presence. With her great self-styled image, brilliantly sharp lyrics and powerful presence, Poly's indomitable spirit still inspires. The album kicks off with the mighty, power-pop of 'I Luv Ur Sneakers' and maintains the quick pace with first single 'Virtual Boyfriend' before then moving into dubstep territories on the title track 'Generation Indigo'. The album takes in everything from neo-X-ray Spex punk rock on 'Thrash City' and 'L.U.V' to the Trojan-reggae infused grooves of 'No Rockefeller', 'Code Pink Dub' and 'Colour Blind' whilst stand out songs, 'Thrash City' and 'White Gold' attest to the power of Poly's soaring vocals. Poly showcases humorous musings on pop culture, the internet and fashion whilst also tackling heavier subject matter (war and racism) with her politically aware and intelligent lyrics."
