V.A. (VARIOUS ARTISTS) (COMPILATIONS) — Listen to something different

ARS MACABRE is a record-shop and mail-order in ROSTOCK (the very north-east of Germany) existing since 1995, who also co-organized many experimental concerts on the ship MS STUBNITZ in the harbour of Rostock. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of this shop (who works under quite difficult conditions) a compilation-project was started, which could finally be released now in May 2007. Some of label-owners Frank Kr�gers all-time faves were put together on this high-quality collection of experimental & electronic music: Old heroes that already ceased to exist or were silent for a long time (MUSLIMGAUZE, CONTROLLED BLEEDING, ETANT DONNES), famous long-existing projects (ASMUS TIETCHENS, HAFLER TRIO, AUBE), ambient & dark drone-stuff (BEEQUEEN, TROUM, INADE, WINDFAHNENAMT), plus the anti-genre acts COLUMN ONE and DITTERICH VON EULER-DONNERSPERG.


"With all exclusive and previously unreleased songs, except �tant Donn�s (appears on �La Vie Nouvelle� 2003) and Windfahnenamt (appears on �Windfahnenamt� 2001), LISTEN TO SOMETHING DIFFERENT offers not only a starting point for new listeners and musical explorers, but also a substantial addition to any experimental music lover�s collection. One carefully assembled compilation that ambitiously unites 13 internationally acclaimed experimental artists and is released as a fine 6-panel digipak CD. Ars Macabre is a record store and mail order service operating in Rostock, Germany and is specializing in the distribution of experimental music since 1995." [label info]
