Op 15-08 brengt Dutch Film Works de actiethriller The Bag Man uit op dvd en Blu-ray.
Jack’s klus voor misdaadbaas Dragna lijkt zo simpel: een tas naar een motel brengen en daar wachten. Maar schijnt bedriegt. Wat volgt is een gewelddadige nacht die voor iedereen extreem uit de hand loopt. Met o.a. John Cusack, Robert De Niro en Rebecca Da Costa.
Sound of Cobra Records is pleased to present the new release:
DER BLUTHARSCH AND THE INFINITE CHURCH OF THE LEADING HAND
" All To Pieces"
12" one sided, silkscreened
"After a stellar collaboration with Aluk Todolo and last years „The Cosmic Trigger“, the Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand mothership planted four new seeds which are now in full blossom and ready to be harvested by you. Put them in your pipe, smoke them and let the mystic aural haze make your braincells dance a waltz of life, death and everything between the cracks.
Shifting seamlessly between sinister channelings of Amon Düül II and the embrace of electronic instruments to paint a vivid picture of the dancing air around us, „All To Pieces“ is another chapter of Albin Julius’ musical mapping of the greater picture - accompanied by guests like Alan Trench of Orchis (and formerly Leader of famous World Serpent Distribution) and Pete Hope of Wrong Revolution, we get to experience the ever-shifting vision of the project in an immediate and intuitive manner that lets its edges be raw and the palette of emotions rich. Call it psychedelic rock, folk or whatever - it is your invitation to hop in this white-painted space hearse and travel to the point where light and darkness are the same - amen.“
The LP comes out in a limited edition of 300 copies. Pressed on heavy 180 gr white vinyl with the B side hand silkscreened and housed in a thick cardstock cover foil printed!

Cabaret Voltaire release a new compilation #7885 (Electropunk to Technopop 1978 – 1985).
#7885 (Electropunk to Technopop 1978 – 1985) compiles two distinct periods of Cabaret Voltaire – 1978-81 and 1983-85 – for the first time together on one release and follows the re-mastered vinyl release of Red Mecca and already legendary and sold out box set, #8385 (Collected Works 1983 – 1985).
Featuring classic tracks such as Nag Nag Nag, Do The Mussolini (Headkick), Sensoria, Landslide, I Want You and Just Fascination, #7885 (Electropunk to Technopop 1978 – 1985) was curated by Richard H Kirk who explains, “I decided to gather the more concise elements of the work… Hence the choice of 7” singles, edits and shorter album tracks, a kind of sound bite take on CV.”
The compilation travels from 1978-81 with a line up of Richard H Kirk, Stephen Mallinder and Chris Watson, when Cabaret Voltaire were (mostly) recording at the Western Works Studios in Sheffield and releasing records on Rough Trade and from 1983-85 after Watson’s departure when Kirk and Mallinder released via the Some Bizzare label on Virgin Records. Kirk points out that this “was a time where we got to do what we do, but in different areas, we wanted to push the boundaries of electronic music, we wanted to place what we were doing into places where it really shouldn’t be. We certainly didn’t want to carry on repeating what we’d done for the ten years previous.”
Cabaret Voltaire formed in 1973 and, alongside Human League, Throbbing Gristle, Fad Gadget and The Normal, were at the forefront of the UK Electronic Movement of the late ’70s. Way ahead of their time, Cabaret Voltaire’s blend of dance music, techno, dub, house and experimental made them, without a doubt, one of the most influential acts of the last 40 years.
