Industrial Music CDs on eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay GER

There is no better business than releasing albums from dead musicians. Out on March 25th 2014 is the new Johnny Cash album "Out Among the Stars" holding 12 tracks which Cash recorded between 1981 and 1984 with producer Billy Sherill. Sherill, who himself is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, was at that time president of CBS Records Nashville. The recordings also feature a duet with Waylon Jennings and two featuring June Carter Cash.

Back in the 80s Columbia Records wasn't that impressed with the recordings though and decided to shelve "Out Among the Stars" and consequently drop Cash from the label in 1986. Big mistake now it seems.

Below is a preview of the material. (...)

Industrial Music CDs on eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay GER

(Via DJ Wildhoney) After 17 years strong, hundreds of bands, and over a decade at the same location, Das Bunker is closing the doors to it's weekly dance event for good.

Das Bunker, Mid-City Los Angeles’s industrial dance club is wrapping up its weekly party at the end of January 2014 with a special edition of their long running "Dance Night" event featuring all of their current resident DJ’s as a selection of soon to be announced guests. Proceeding this party are a selection of Das Bunker’s more popular special events designed to celebrate the culture of Das Bunker starting with this Friday’s "History of Industrial" event.

More information regarding the reasons behind the decision to shut down operations as well as the future of Das Bunker will be released as the final event draws closer, and Das Bunker will continue to produce live concerts both large and small in scale in the future.

"We are committed to Industrial Music" says Das Bunker founder Franck "H-Bomb" Huyghe, with co-promoter John "Rev. John" Giovanazzi stating "This is just the next step in our evolutionary process. Now that we no longer have the burden of producing a weekly event, in a set location, on a set night, 52 times a year we can turn our attention to setting in motion the next episode of the Das Bunker saga. And while we are sad to see such an important part of our history, part of LA’s underground music scene, come to a close, we are also very excited about what we have planned next."

Növö debutes on Alfa Matrix with new single 'I Flee' - Front 242 and Trisomie 21 fans rejoice!

Industrial Music CDs on eBay USA | eBay UK | eBay GER

Out now is the "I flee" single by Növö (aka veteran electronic artist Laurent Boudic), a teaser for the project's 4th full length album, "Zeitgeist".

The first single reveals a radical return to the roots and the period when the project was active in the Belgian Electronic Body Music scene back in the good old 80's. The release clearly evokes Front 242's "Geography", Trisomie 21's "The Last Dance" or yet Fad Gadget's "Collapsing New People".

The single holds the 7" and an extended version next to the pure electronic remakes from Franck Kartell and Flood Veyor.

Note that Alfa Matrix has also re-released the band's previous releases "Konztruktivizm 09" and "Architecture and severity". Both can be ordered together with the "I Flee" single on Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify etc.
