about

We are pleased to announce the reissue of an anthology collection of Ukrainian Death Industrial Ostarbeiter on two cassettes.

It is easy to describe death industrial in one word; however, Ostarbeiter refers to workers sent from the former Soviet Union to factories and farms in Germany during World War II. Even after returning to their home country after the war, they sometimes suffered unfair discrimination. The factories where they worked were truly an industry of death.

The bland sound of factory machinery as if death were approaching is ruthlessly blanketed by noise with bold and elegant spatial effects. That terrifies us to think that it was their daily routine.

In addition, it is only in this anthology that you can see the difference in the sound expression on each side, such as the destructive noise power electronics on the A-side, the more introspective approach on the B-side, and the techno-industrial approach with enhanced and evolving the rhythm on the C-side.

Two additional bonus tracks are included, which are not included on the CD version.

every one of tapes was handmade and dubbed by legendary Nakamichi cassette deck with the recording head azimuth adjustment.

ウクライナのデスインダストリアルOstarbeiterのアンソロジー作品を2本組カセットで再発いたします。

デスインダストリアルと一言で表現することは簡単ですが、Ostarbeiterとは第二次世界大戦時に旧ソ連圏からドイツの工場や農場に送られた労働者を意味し、戦後、国に帰ったあとも不当な差別を受けることもあったという彼らにとって仕事場の工場が、まさに死の工業だったのです。

淡々と死が迫ってくるような工場音に、大胆かつ優雅な空間系エフェクト施されたノイズが無惨にも覆いつくされる様に戦慄せざるを得ませんし、またA面での破壊的なノイズ•パワーエレクトロニクス、B面でのより内証的なアプローチ、C面ではリズムの強化と進化など、各面での音の表情の違いも確認できるでしょう。
CD版には未収録のボーナストラック2曲を追加収録。

録音ヘッドアジマス自動調整機能付きの伝説的なNakamichiカセットデッキで一本づつダビングされました。
