Having difficultly locating where to buy this music? Since most stores in the U.S. don’t stock music from the genres we play it can be a real pain, but you can go our route: mail order. We use the online store Isolation Tank. Many labels, such as Metropolis Records, also offer CDs, and most artists have posted their libraries on their own sites, such as Bandcamp, or at the major digital outlets, such as iTunes, Amazon, etc.
Maus Pick of the Month for August
Totten Mechanismus - Ab Initio
Totten Mechanismus, like a heavy electro submarine in the ocean of music - produces a pulsating mechanical rhythms, screeching vocals and dark dance tunes. The songs tell us about human weaknesses, the military power, the imperfection of human nature and cruelty. Scenes are taken from many well-known horror films and the life of musicians, and an aggressive and dynamic playing style perfectly helps uncover the meaning of each song.
Paradise Pick of the Month for August
And One - Magnet (Trilogie 1)
As the title ‘Magnet (Trilogie 1)’ lets expect the latest AND ONE album is a special fan edition containing three CDs titled ‘Magnet’, ‘Propeller’ and ‘Achtung 80’. Steve Naghavi once said he made different albums to get all his different text and music ideas in line. According to him ‘Magnet’ itself should contain new sounds and surprise the fans, while ‘Propeller’ is more an EBM-Pop style CD and ‘Achtung 80’ is based on 80’s influences and DEPECHE MODE’s older stuff.
