Conceived as experimental pop, Sinnlich Übersinnlich not only challenges musical structures but also questions the mechanisms of the music industry itself. It engages with themes of media, consumerism, and capitalist production relations, drawing inspiration from Ludovico Silva’s interpretation of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. With a hint of inspiration by the works of the Melvins, the album shifts between abstract soundscapes and fragmented rock elements, creating an auditory collage that mirrors our hyper-mediated reality.

Their work could best be described as electroacoustic and glitch pop, but it goes way beyond that.

No wonder they have often collaborated with visual / digital media artists, and contributed to a number of festivals and art projects throughout the 16 years since the project was founded.

Paul Harrison has been making sounds in one form or another since the mid-1980s – coming into focus in the early 1990s as his main, long-term project Expose Your Eyes (which fell into a lengthy hiatus during the 2000s, but in recent years is back with full force).

Together with his partner (and fellow soundmaker), Candi Nook, he used to run Fiend Recordings label and they have both been members of the notorious noisemaking circus Smell & Quim.

He has collaborated with many other musicians over the years but now, apart from contributions to some forthcoming S&Q stuff, is ploughing most of his energies into his own personal psychedelic powerhouse.

You will find the latest Expose Your Eyes sounds (and a great selection of Fiend Recordings archive material by a wide variety of people) at: https://eyefiend.bandcamp.com/

Fear Incorporated are a new Theatre Macabre-Avant Garde- Baroque ‘n’ Roll band from the UK.

An eclectic and dark approach to alternative music fusing different types of styles to portray a selection of stories which will feature elements of the macabre-real and unreal, past and present.

Fear Incorporated was formed by Cam Campbell formerly from the legendary death rock Gothic band ‘Sex Gang Children’ and William Westwater from Cyberpunk band ‘Sensory Savage.’ After a discussion on how to approach the project it was decided that the album themes would be based on Fearful subjects such as death, cannibalism, phobias, murder and other such noir material so the band was fittingly named ‘Fear Incorporated’.

Sawney Bean was chosen as the first theme for the first Fear Incorporated album. He was a 16th century Scottish myth that was used to threaten young children who would not sleep at night. The story tells us he took to a cave with his wife where they captured, murdered and ate unsuspecting passers-by and travellers whilst bringing up a incestuous barbarous family of flesh eating lunatics.

A grizzly macabre tale indeed. A plethora of tracks were recorded for the album and then hand picked to make a chronological macabre musical album ‘Sawney’s Cave’. Blending Gothic, electronica, dark folk and theatre macabre the album is both diverse and original in it’s making.

The album was recorded in two studios-one in Edinburgh and one in London. The Edinburgh studio ‘Mandrake Studios’ is owned by William Westwater.

As listeners know, CA were first active at the start of the 1980s, emerging at the end of early industrial music and the beginning of postindustrial, amidst the rise of electronic music and the adventurousness and energy of postpunk. There’s no doubt that there is continuity between their 1980s output and the new material. The personality of the band remains the same. But this personality is one that does not identify with any one genre and has no interest in retreading old ground (although amongst the new recordings there are occasional lyrical and musical quotations from their former selves, and also a couple of tracks that incorporate loops or backing tracks recorded in the 80s). In fact with regard to their early milieu and the cassette scene of which they were a part, it seems exactly its spirit of creative freedom and experimentation that CA continue to pursue.

Along with Bad Meditation, Bleak is also releasing Still Hungry, an EP of 1980s material. It was first released on vinyl by VOD Records in 2007 in an edition limited to 250 copies. Three of the four tracks were previously unreleased. Included is a version of ‘Scars for E’, one of the songs written for them by CA’s friend and mentor John Balance. This is the first electronic release of the EP.

Both releases come with a lyrics booklet, and there is a video for each – only the second and third official videos from the band (the first accompanied This Is Not Your Shape).

[…] The artiness to the words and sounds, steeped in art rock and post-punk electronics, which was often subsumed by the lo-fi quality of the earlier recordings is prevalent onBad Meditation. The influence of This Heat, Cabaret Voltaire and early Human League is easily detected here, given a polished, contemporary sheen that allows their desire for experimentation to come to the fore on the warped pop sensibility of these songs. Bad Meditation, the first of four new albums to be released by Bleak, is a wonderful introduction to the new works of Cultural Amnesia.
