Reissue, originally released in 1987.
Astaron
from Vienna Austria were a music and art performance duo made up of
Angie Mörth
(member of
Viele Bunte Autos
) and
Martina Aichhorn
who existed from 1984 to 1989. Influenced by the Viennese Actionism,
Einstürzende Neubauten
, and
Kate Bush
and armed with a big dose of black humor and a true love for trash culture they created an impressively unique body of work. They released two DIY tapes, one 12", and this stunning self-titled album at the tail end of 1987. It was originally released by local label Ton Um Ton Records in a criminally low pressing of 500 copies. It's an unadjusted highly experimental and totally addictive dark wave album with hints of minimal post punk. The music ranges from dirge-like chants to ethereal pop to haunting ballads. It's pure melancholic beauty from start to finish. Think
