As far as the history of Power Electronics goes, few acts have maintained as much interest\r\nand activity as Sutcliffe Jugend. The duo of Paul Taylor and Kevin Tompkins has released\r\ncrucial early recordings on labels as revered as Come Organization, Broken Flagand Cold\r\nMeat Industry. The group has resumed actions under the Sutcliffe Jugend banner with a\r\nreturn album, This is the Truth last year also on Hospital Productions/Groundfault. While\r\nthat record pleased fans old and new with the power electronics style SJ helped pioneer,\r\nthe release of The Fall of Nature brings us a new level destruction using sounds almost\r\nunthinkable ambient yet no less disturbing. The Fall of Nature is a epic, grandiose drone\r\npiece almost one hour of pure electronics that echoes the masters of the form. The album\r\ngrows in intensity throughout the recording making for an unexpected release. There are\r\nmany sides of darkness and many ways to express it. The Fall of Nature is the balance of\r\nsound, in a listenable format. The initial feeling is that of an almost holy, heavenly sound,\r\nthe skies opening in tribute to the nature which is falling. Yet fans of classic SJ will be\r\nplenty pleased at the psychotically manic conclusion that will not disappoint any fans of PE\r\nterror. This music takes aim at several nerve centers at once. This is not just noise, drone\r\nor PE but something new that mixes various elements of each together for the first time.\r\nco-release with groundfalut recordings! - Hospital.
After nearly a decade of false starts, multiple game plans veering off the rails, and a handful of shattered hopes and/or dreams, the odyssey is finally complete—the new Fusetron site is here.
This is the first phase of a multipart rollout that will span the next few months: the currently browsable stock includes miscellaneous new releases from the past 8+ months (we have a lot of catching up to do), plus approximately a third of our backstock. Note that we’ve reduced/slashed prices on many titles and will continue to do so in order to make room for new stock. We’ll also be expanding / tweaking / improving / debugging the site itself (for example, we still have work to do on the automated international postage system, not to mention the inevitable inventory discrepancies that come with transferring an ancient and massive database to a new system).
Over the next few months, as we take inventory, clean house, and delve into our storage, we will be uploading thousands of additional items, gradually, on a near-daily basis. This will include the majority of the LPs, as well as many titles, in all formats, once thought long-gone. Many currently “sold out” items are likely to resurface.
Finally, once our general backstock is up (probably in the next two or three months) we’ll begin making our extensive stockpile of rarities available online for the first time: tons of random out-of-print titles, "deadstock," warehouse finds, secondhand collectibles, etc., accumulated over the past few decades.
Frequent/returning customers will be getting early access to these items. Details to follow on how this will work (a priority mailing list? a 'frequent flyer'-like program?), but it will not be based on dollars spent. We want to reward those who consistently support us, especially in the discogs marketplace era (to those who show up trying to poach five copies of a one-off rarity, and nothing else, ever… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).
So—we suggest you take some time to dig through the site—even we’ve been surprised by what’s been turning up, and there’s much more to come.
