Ike Yard came into being as No Wave passed on, Industrial was in the air and 'proto techno' had yet to be coined. Propulsive, paranoid, aggressive electro minimalism, with as much attention paid to the mixing board and effects processors as to vocals, guitar and synth. At once starker and more fully-formed than virtually all other contemporaneous post-punk music. desire's 2012 edition represents the first ever vinyl reissue of this classic, prophetic album.
This CD only collection is compiling the three different remixes 12’’ that desire released during the last 18 months.
It starts with a new mastered version of now classic Regis version of Loss. It’s followed by Monoton dub version of NCR.
LA own’s Tropic Of Cancer delivers a great ethereal version of Half A God. Camella Lobo signs a rare remix after a series of acclaimed EPs for Blackest Ever Black, Downwards, Mannequin. Former Ike Yard member and synths wizzard Fred Szymanski also reinterpreted Half A God with a unique musique concrète-inspired electronica piece Under his Recombinant guise.
Arnaud Rebotini, head honcho of Black Strobe, signs a long Detroit-inspired techno version of Cherish 8.
Powell (Diagonal Records) follows by doing a great beat-driven rework of Half A God. The KVB delivers a post-punk rendition of Cherish 8. Cherish 8 is also remixed by Vessel of Tri Angle/ Young Echo fame. NCR is also remixed by UK enigmatic industrial/dubstep Bandshell.
The last three remixes are exclusive to this CD. Cherish 8 is remixed by French kraut/electronic producer Intramoros of One Switch To Collision and also by Norwegian electronic veterans Epilketrician. And to close this collection Monoton offers a club mix of NCR.
Ike Yard was originally a quartet comprising Michael Diekmann, Stuart Argabright, Kenneth Compton and Fred Szymanski. The group are active again after a 28 year hiatus, sans Szymanski; their most recent album is 2011's Nord and they are currently working on a final album.
Following their recent success of Salamander, Arrow Films will continue to house quality international crime thriller shows from various European territories and beyond, under their newly launched sub-label ‘Noir’.
Having already seen massive success with their Bafta winning series The Bridge, The Killing and Borgen, Arrow Films are thrilled to announce the release of Inspector De Luca, an exciting crime series which will mark the first Italian TV show to be released by the new ‘Noir’ label, an off-shoot of the popular Nordic Noir imprint that will house non-Nordic originating crime thriller series.
Having been aired in the prime-time Saturday night slot on BBC 4 during March and early April the series comes to DVD in the UK on 14th April 2014.
Between 1938 and 1948, from the height of Italy’s Fascist regime to the end of the tumultuous post-war period, Chief Detective De Luca investigates and solves crimes in the City of Bologna and along the Adriatic coast. With little or no regard for those in power, whoever they happen to be, his solitary, uncompromising character often lands him in trouble, but his respect is reserved for truth and justice alone.
In the four TV movies of the series “Unauthorised Investigation”, “Carte Blanche”, “Murky Summer” and “Goose Way” - each taken from a novel by best-selling mystery writer Carlo Lucarelli – Chief Detective De Luca always ultimately gets to the bottom of his cases, though what he finds often leaves a bitter aftertaste.

What starts of as a classic synth-pop song continues in the landscape of The Jesus And Mary Chain. The song is co-produced with Stephan Groth from Apoptygma Berzerk and together they place the sound of the band in the pop/alternative-rock sphere. A place they are clearly comfortable.
The Funeral is the first in line of a number of singles from the norwegian band The Pussyclub, and a full-length album might arrive om the shelves by the end of 2014. Singer and songwriter, Jon Martens Holm, has brought along his experiences from previous bands, such as View, Icon of Coil and CCV, and perfected the mix of pop, electronica and alternative rock.
The song is released on their own labell (Velvet Electra) and distributed though DIY WIMP. It is mastered at Bohus Sound Recording Studio by Dragan Tanaskovic.
