Originally released in a tiny self-financed run of just 60 CDs in 2011, Cold Spring Records gives Oh Magick Kingdom, the impossible-to-find release by Penny Rimbaud (Crass), the wider attention it deserves. 27 minutes of dark jazz, industrial, bursts of repetitive noise rock and foreboding classical cello, with the initial music laid down by New York duo Japanther, and organically interwoven with the punk poetry of Penny and other Shakespearean "voices". The lyrical subject centers on broken relationships and the conflicts which can exist between love and desire. All elements were recorded at the legendary Dial House in Essex. Comes in a digisleeve.

Kernschmelze: "the dying gasps of the Age of Enlightenment". Kernschmelze II is a cantata for voices, in this case the voice of Crass songstress Eve Libertine, processed by Charles Webber to almost choral proportions. Working on Kernschmelze II alongside Eve Libertine, Penny Rimbaud has been able to produce a classic album on par with their 1984 album Acts Of Love released by Crass Records. Libertine's sparse, vulnerable poetics counter the almost Wagnerian scale of the work, challenging preconceptions of what music should be and making strong suggestions as to what it might yet become. Extreme electronics sourced solely from vocal sounds to create noise music of an intense and highly demanding nature. Comes in an ecopak with artwork by Gee Vaucher.
