MINIMAL WAVE // VA - THE LOST TAPES


The NY-based Minimal Wave label has just put out The Lost Tapes compilation; a very limited, vinyl-only pressing which collects rare tracks from the early-to-mid-'80s. Portion Control have contributed with "the pressure is high" (and yes, it's the same version as appears on simulate sensual) More info: http://www.minimal-wave.org/.

DEAD AIR // BY MORDANT MUSIC


Mordant Music - Baron Mordant (ex-Portion Control member Ian Hicks) and Admiral Greyscale - release the debut album "Dead Air" in a stunning multi-foldout 'tear' shaped sleeve.

This 20 track album mixes industrial and cadaverous electronica, like a lost episode of Dr. Who., into one long, dark transmission. The album also features the opulent tones and pathos of former cult Thames Television announcer Philip Elsmore. Fans of Portion Control's 'Wellcome' should look into this exercise in electronic couture. This is the amplified sound of 'Dead Air'. More info: www.mordantmusic.com.
