“Zga” is a very obscure, obsolete, and peculiar Russian word. It means something really miniscule and in the contemporary language it survived only as a part of an expression ni zgi ne vidno - “pitch dark”.

DEMO NON STOP - SBZ059CD
COLLECTION OF DEMOS FROM THE SESSIONS OF SOFT CELL’S MULTI PLATINUM DEBUT!!
Erotic Cabaret was the first album released by the groundbreaking synthpop/New Wave duo Soft Cell, released in 1981 by Some Bizarre Records. The album's critical and commercial success was bolstered by the worldwide success of its single Tainted Love, a cover version of a little-known R&B song by Gloria Jones which topped charts worldwide and became the best-selling British single of 1981 in the United States. The album continued to produce a string of Top-5 singles in the UK, including "Bedsitter," "Torch," and the unapolagetically sentimental "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye." Now the newly resurrected Some Bizarre is releasing the best of the until now unreleased demos for the sessions of the album, including an early version of the hit single “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye”. An essential addition to any Soft Cell, Grid or Marc Almond fan’s collection.
Historical rare recording made between 1978 and 1982 by the now legendary 80’s electro pop group SOFT CELL!!! Originally, vocalist Marc Almond and synth player Dave Ball teamed to compose music for theatrical productions, and as Soft Cell, their live performances continued to draw heavily on the pair's background in drama and the visual arts. A self-financed EP titled Mutant Moments brought the duo to the attention of Some Bizzare label head Stevo, who enlisted Daniel Miller to produce their underground hit single "Memorabilia" the following year. This was the launch pad for the band to rise to international notoriety in their short and successful career. Sleeve notes: “I remember there was a little makeshift studio tucked away in the corner of Leeds Polytechnic Fine Arts department,the "studio" basically consisted of two Revox B77 quarter inch reel to reel tape machines,a funny old Tandberg reel to reel machine and a six channel line mixer.I had a Korg DV800 duophonic synth,(my first one) a couple of stylophones and eventually aquired a very basic drum machine.I used this set up to make weird little tunes up for reasons known only to myself(ie no reason). It was probably 1978 when Marc Almond;a fellow student happened to be walking by and heard these funny electronic bleeps and came into the studio to listen and asked if I would do some sounds for his performance art shows which I did. A year went by and we had started writing our idea of "pop songs" which we performed live at the Fine Art Xmas party.Before we knew it we had turned our "art pop" into "pop art" or maybe the other way round.” :- Dave Ball 6th June 2005

TEST DEPT contribution to the movie 2006 "The Year 2027, the last day of the Human Race, No Child has been born for 18 years. He Must Protect Our Only Hope - Universal Pictures. "Children of Men" Test Dept were an industrial music band formed in New Cross, London, by unemployed musicians (including Alastair Adams, Paul Jamrozy, Angus Farquhar, Graham Cunnington, Tony Cudlip, Toby Burdon and Paul Hines) from Glasgow, Scotland, where the band later re-located. Formed in 1981, they are hailed by many musicians as one of the most influential early industrial music acts. Their approach was marked out by a strong commitment to radical politics. Their discography spans a wide variety of influences and styles, including a collaboration with the South Wales Striking Miners Choir in support of the Miners' Strike of 1984. They were particularly notable for complex and powerful percussion, as well as high-energy live performances. Like the German band Einstürzende Neubauten, with whom they are often compared, Test Dept used unconventional instruments such as scrap metal and industrial machinery as sound sources; however, Continuing the re-issue of their extensive back catalogue Some Bizarre present here 2 classic albums from the band’s 80’s incarnation. Both re-issued in Dig packs like the other releases on the label such as FOETUS and NEUBAUTEN. Essential for any collector of early industrial!!!
Pedro INF SBZ079CD
PEDRO INF is tired of the current output of the electronic and post industrial music scenes, whose innovation has regressed to pre conceived ideas about music production, PEDRO INF is taking lead from the pioneers such as Kandinsky , Miro ,Coil , Test Dept, Richard D James (Aphex Twin) & mu-ziq. Designing and building his own effects, computers and programs PEDRO INF has created his own self styled ""sonar paintings" ,he believes that ART does not need humans at all to exist, in his own words "there is no need for a receptor and the need of a receptor is only because we cannot escape the human condition of egocentrism" ticking the boxes that this enigmatic producer has the madness to pull of his unique brand of electronica

'Their unique sound is electro pop reminiscent of Kraftwerk, with perhaps a shade of Pet Shop Boys ....After listening to the whole album twice, I put it on again, and it still had me bopping in my headset, something that always signals a good album to me'
Skin Two Magazine (UK)
‘The breezy, pulsing synth-pop of ‘Marilyn’ also manages to bottle the glam-fixated electro the duo seem intent on recreating, and it glitters with a seemingly predatory instinct’
Bearded Magazine (UK)
‘I guess there’re many superlatives to present their debut album, but I’ll limited myself to terms like sexy, kitsch, glamorous, funny and electronic…… It’s full of kitschy provocation and sexy s/m links, but perfectly illustrates what the title of the song (and album) is all about! Risqué is a refreshing band I can strongly recommend!’
Side-line Magazine (Belgium)
Oozing sensuality and provocative energy, Risqué emerge from the erotic underworld with their debut album, Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down on the revered Some Bizarre label.
Risqué – French vixen Nathalie and her Welsh husband Huw – combine their lavish soundscapes with a series of incredible collaborations from the likes of dance pop diva Billie Ray Martin and New York City’s legendary transsexual sexbomb and muse of David LaChapelle, Amanda Lepore.
The album’s title track, Tie Me Up Tie Me Down showcases Nathalie’s ethereal vocals (in French and English) astride classic electro rhythms while Push The Button with Billie Ray Martin is a rock n’ synth pop anthem in the making.
I Want Your Number is a futuristic combination of pure dancefloor energy and the confused mathematics of love: ‘6% pneumatic 60% politic 20% chemistry, 90% destiny’ coos Nathalie.
“This track wasn’t written for Marilyn, it was written for me!” says Amanda Lepore, of Marilyn, the track she guests on. An ode to the celebrity culture of chasing money, youth and ‘VIP utopia’ with echoes of the Pet Shop Boys, it’s a guaranteed hit.
Elsewhere, Risqué give their unique take on Talking Heads’ Psychokiller and Velvet Underground’s S&M anthem Venus In Furs. With provocative tracks like Plastic Lover and Deshabille Toi, rounding up an accomplished debut album, listening is a seductive and sensual experience.
The Grid are Dave Ball and Richard Norris. A welcome return.

Swans Cop / Young Gods / Greed / Holly Money 2XCD SBZ047CD
Crawling out of the same noisy, arty New York underground that sired SONIC YOUTH and LYDIA LUNCH, Swans created a dark, abrasive, murky, slowed-down noise rock that served as a starting point for their ruminations about alienation, depression, depravity, and the disturbing side of human nature. Singers Michael Gira and Jarboe have been the group's only constants over the years; Gira has taken the group from its early confrontational shock tactics to a more varied, mature attack. The band first appeared on record in 1982 with a self-titled EP, and these early releases document their search for the musical vocabulary to express their ideas effectively. Female singer Jarboe joined the group for 1986's Holy Money and brought a gentler, more relaxed dimension to Swans' sound. “The Swans are the only band in the universe. There is no other sonic experience of such incredible power and magnitude to be found anywhere. That is an absolute fact.” - ATTITUDE (USA) “Swans can confidently be described as nothing short of a miracle” - NME “Swans are like some elite combat group. Abandoning conventional concepts of pitch and melody, they strip rock and roll to the barest bones. Power, urgency, excitement. This is no pose” - THE VILLAGE VOICE The track “raping a slave” is included in Kurt Cobain’s handwritten journals as one of his top 50 tracks of all time.
DAVE BALL - IN STRICT TEMPO SBZ075CD
British synthesizer player Dave Ball was one half of Soft Cell, along with Marc Almond, starting in October 1979. Before that duo broke up in December 1983, he made one solo album, In Strict Tempo. Originally released in 1983 the album was a leftfield masterpiece, featuring a plethora of guest musicians including GAVIN FRIDAY and the mercurial GENESIS P. ORRIDGE with Dave Ball acting as producer, multi instrumentalist and main vocals. The album was also mixed by enigmatic british producer FLOOD (known for his sucessful work with U2, DEPECHE MODE and SMASHING PUMPKINS).
Satanicpornocultshop is Japanese band integrating Levi Strauss’ concept of ‘Bricolage’ (Tristes Tropiques,1955) into hip-hop.
