Projekt is having a sale this weekend on This Ascension music. They released four albums on their own label Tess Records from 1989 to 1999 to major acclaim and growing popularity. This Ascension toured the United States three times and the west coast prolifically, sharing the stage with bands including Clan of Xymox, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Chris Isaak, The Wolfgang Press and Pixies.

[ July 28, 2009; ] Phantoms is Forrest Fang’s 9th solo album and the follow-up to his Projekt release, Gongland. Nearly eight years in the making, Phantoms builds on the gamelan-influenced soundscapes of its predecessor by weaving organic sounds of non-Western stringed and percussion instruments and filtering those sounds through a rich melodic tapestry of warm and vaporous atmospheres.

[ June 2, 2009; ] Disciple is Mark’s first solo project. On this CD he fully immerses himself into the traditional Indian Raga styles. The music on the album reflects his 23 years of being a disciple, an initiated seeker.

Founded in 1997, Unto Ashes are among the foremost purveyors of “blood-lit” music, by which they seek to explore the beautiful and terrible currents that weave themselves through our lives. Unto Ashes utilize a unique combination of Appalachian dulcimers, Persian and African percussion, hurdy-gurdy, cello, French horn, acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, tamboura, drones, and bombastic drums.

In the realm of gothic music, there is a fine line between the artists who create beauty and the artists who create pretention. Black Tape for a Blue Girl treads this line carefully and emerges as one of the most emotionally sincere bands of the genre. With lyrics reading like an aural diary pressed to one’s ear, Sam Rosenthal opens up the human soul and bares its bones to the world.

Something wicked this way comes. Direct from the underground New York Goth scene comes this strange brew of gypsy violins, driving rhythms, sardonic wit and turn-of-the-century mayhem. Combining beautiful old-world melodies with viciously sarcastic lyrics, Wagnerian bravado with Brechtian allure, Voltaire has crafted twelve songs of love, loss, revenge and dismemberment sure to bring a smile to even the darkest of souls.
