Black Devil "Disco Club"

This is a great new discovery I made today. Produced in 1978, this french album is a different view of the whole disco culture. The author's name is Bernard Fevre. I find this one way more interesting than most of the other works released in this genre, since the vocals, analogic sounds and the beats add a characteristic effect to this.
Here's the track list:
A1 "H" Friend 5:43
A2 Timing, Forget The Timing 4:34
A3 One To Choose 4:57

B1 We Never Fly Away Again 4:53
B2 Follow Me (Instrumental) 5:15
B3 No Regrets 5:00

06 - no regrets by holywarbles.blogspot.com

Here it is some info taken from the blog [Holy Warbles] where I found this excellent musical work. I found out that some of this info was also extracted from wikipedia:
'Originally released in 1978, Black Devil's 'Disco Club' is an extremely rare disco masterpiece, an epic journey into the deepest electronic disco. The record is credited to Junior Claristidge and Joachim Sherylee, pseudonyms of two french library writers Bernard Fevre and Jacky Giordano, respectively. It was made manually in a recording studio in the suburbs of Paris using synths and occasional tape loops and a drummer. No midi or computers'
i really envy any youngsters who get to hear this for the first time. do not hesitate to follow the link for more Bernie Fevre supersounds. the Musax material is particularly potent & provided there's interest, i just got a new black devil dub joint i could post in the future"

Here's a remake made around 2007:

[upcoming bands] Black Microwave

Although its myspace exists since 2 years ago, it's relatively recent. Black Microwave consist of a one-man musical project that struggles through many musical seas: experimental electronics, 8bit, [a slow] breakcore, etc. The person behind this project is also playing on the band Kimoameba.
The author has released 3 cd's until now. You can check them out on the myspace.
Here it is the myspace.

MAGAS "May I meet my Accuser"

MAGAS is Jim Magas, a [presumed] normal guy from Chicago, USA. He began making music around 1999. Taken from his myspace:"In 1999, Jim Magas, with no knowledge or background in electronic music or its production set out to become a one-man force in electronic rock. "
This record was released in 2006 on Imaginary Conflict [U.S.A.] and Wwilko [E.U.] - this last label, in case you didn't know yet, is Kap Bambino's own label. It is his forth release.
I'd describe his music, from what I've heard before, as enthusiastic headbanger music made by a synth-addict for many trashers. It's great electronic music, kind of the a "new rock 'n' roll", you know. The synths here become true guitars, raging your ears with heavy beats and distorted samples.
The tracklist is the following:
01. Black Door
02. Easy to Please
03. Chicagocide
04. I Need Love
05. May I Meet My Accuser
06. Transgressors
07. Walk Through the Dark
08. Highway Hat
09. Burst City
10. One Hundred Ten

I really enjoyed most of these songs, however I'll only speak about three of them. "Easy to Please" is a fine one, that starts with Jim's incredible heavy synths, then some beats keep coming and then MAGAS' voice takes hold of the sounds. The lyrics seem kind of funny and ironic too. Take this is count: "I'm easy to please / Easy / to please... ". Just like the song's title.
"May I Meet My Accuser" is by far, for me, the best track. Fast beats, possibly the song with the most intense bpm* too. First you hear a small buzz... kind of like a toy ambulance... then snares burst, and synth-ish sounds slash the hearer. MAGAS' voice once again does a splendid work, heavily distorted, like many of his samples. Around 1:07 you hear a synth that reminds you of a guitar. Like I've said before, this guy has invented the twenty-first century schizoid rock 'n' roll!
"Highway Hat" is also a nice bet on this album. Once again, you can hear the electronically created drums and the synths. This time, the vocals aren't that distorted and Jim sings like if he was having some fun, spitting simultaneously the lyrics.
The album can be downloaded right here. This one is a "must" to whoever appreciates Kap Bambino and Felix Kubin too.

Threshold Houseboys Choir "The Threshold Houseboys Choir Amulet Edition"

Do you like COIL? Do you like Throbbing Gristle? Do you like COUM Transmissions? Do you like Psychic TV? Do you like Soisong? Do you think I'm starting to get boring?
I asked you these questions because a former member of all these bands, Peter Christopherson, decided to create a new project after COIL's end. Threshold Houseboys Choir was the name chosen by Peter. It can be labeled as experimental electronic composition, along with some noise, oriental-ish sounds, etc. Wiki also entitles it as "Post-Industrial Exotica". When performing live, this project evolves to a different stage: videos of some rituals occuring in Thailand, morbid, gore and violent clips along and mind-warping at the same time are added to the performance of Threshold Houseboys Choir. THBC's myspace can be viewed by clicking here.
"The Threshold HouseBoys Choir is a musical guise for Peter Christopherson, announced in 2005 as a follow up endeavor to his former group Coil. Despite the name, it is a solo project which relies heavily on computer generated vocals, of which he is formally credited as the "director." The name was derived from a play on words, combining the terms houseboy, house of boys, boys' choir, and Threshold House.[1] THBC is stationed in Krung Thep, Thailand."

The Amulet Edition was sold on THBC's tour and now can be bought on the official merchandise website, here, or on eBay or Amazon at astonishingly high prices. It comes on a fine velvet pocket, I think, which over 3 cd's.
The track list is the following:
1.Be Happy 16: 12
2.Distonto 23: 16
3.Ikoreek 22: 15
4.The Hangman's Ball 19: 31
5.As X is to Geff 10: 20
6.Khun Cap Taxi 18: 03
7.Lowly Low 13: 42
8.There and Back 5:09
9.The Day Moon Died 15:51

Next, if you want to, you can hear some samples of the songs: "The Day the Moon Died", "The Hangman's Ball" and "Distonto". My favourite tracks are: "Be Happy", "Distonto", "Lowly Low" and "There and Back".
If you want to buy the album go to Threshold House's official website and find some THBC merchandise.

"Be happy" can be heard below:

Kap Bambino "Zero Life, Night Vision"

Kap Bambino formed around 2001 and nowadays they even have their own independent label. Kap Bambino are Caroline Martial and Orion Bouvier. Released in 2006, this album features awesome synth-ish tunes from a great electro group that hails from Bordeaux, France. Their music is characterised by wild distorted female vocals and mind-twisting electronic mixes. This album is no exception and has received positives reviews.
The track list is the following:

1.		Zero Life	1:53
2.		New Breath	2:09
3.		Save	3:11
4.		Took Life	2:10
5.		Hunger Texas	2:29
6.		Seed	3:15
7.		Mess In The Ruins	2:03
8.		Hey !	2:07
9.		Night Vision Ocean	2:31
10.		Kaos Killer	2:46
11.		Warriors	2:10
12.		More Machine	4:09

My favourite tracks are: "Hey!", "Mess In The Ruins", "New Breath" and "Seed". But, as kind of usual, I advise you to hear the entire album.
You can get this album here or promote the artist by buying it on some eBay vultures or on their label's official website here.

Below I'll leave an youtube video of the song "Seed":

COIL "Love's Secret Domain"

Surpassing Beatle's L.S.D. for sure, this legendary COIL album is brilliantly haunting. By hearing this record, you can recognize how their self-induced madness aims [at the listener] are achieved.
It's an astonishing collection of despair-flavoured tracks, that only make the listener fall more deep into COIL's audible abyss.
This album contains 13 tracks:

1. "Disco Hospital" – 2:18
2. "Teenage Lightning 1" – 1:49
3. "Things Happen" – 4:22
4. "The Snow" – 6:41
5. "Dark River" – 6:27
6. "Where Even the Darkness Is Something to See" – 3:05
7. "Teenage Lightning 2" – 5:09
8. "Windowpane" – 6:11
9. "Further Back and Faster" – 7:55
10. "Titan Arch" – 5:02
11. "Chaostrophy" – 5:37
12. "Lorca Not Orca" – 2:04
13. "Love's Secret Domain" – 3:52

The ones I prefer are: "Chaostrophy", "Dark River", "Love's Secret Domain" and also "Windowpane".
This is for certain a must have for any COIL or industrial / experimental eelctronic music fan.
The cover work seems to look like an abandoned door carved with awkward drawings, being a forbidden entrance to a social taboo path.
Comparing this one to other COIL records, I don't think it's the one with the darker mood.
Released in 1991 (although it was recorded during January 1988 to October 1990) its lenght is 60 minutes and 34 seconds. Pierro Scaruffi, an Italian-American culturan historian, rated it 6 out pf 10; All Music rated with 4.5 out of 5 stars. I'd rate it as 7 out of 10 though.
