Limited edition double LP version; includes a CD version of the album and poster. In the finest dub tradition, Mark Stewart has returned to his highly-acclaimed The Politics of Envy (FNM 002CD/LP/LTD-CD) album, sonically savaging it into a new monster, suitably-entitled Exorcism of Envy. This album sees Stewart revisit the soundscapes which hotwired the original album as a viciously spot-on aural depiction of our world, re-molding its ingredients with gloves off and intensity levels on overdrive. "I've got this nonchalance that nothing is sacred," declared Stewart; a crucial element in this mission as he deconstructs songs such as "Apocalypse Hotel," "Method to the Madness," "Codex," and "Want," retaining the original essence but sand-blasting them into skull-crushing or soul-challenging new versions. In the style of Jamaican titans like Jack Ruby, he rips out the song's ghost to give it a fresh kicking, taking care to keep the soul alive, often with a new title; "Autonomia" becomes "Attack Dogs," "Gang War" turns into "Mirror Wars" (featuring Xacute), recent single "Stereotype" becomes the electro-yearn of "Sexorcist" and "Vanity Kills" swells into a swarming monolith of electrocuted sonic tendrils. Meanwhile, the previously beat-less version of Bowie's "Letter to Hermione" is amped into "Letter (Full of Tears)" aboard the filthiest funk bass line. "I've deconstructed in the tradition of dub," explains Stewart. "The original dub masters experimented and for me experimentation really matters, crashing in an index of possibilities. It's an expansion of my recent album, stripping it back to a skeletal dub and then burying it in bi-products of our hyper media." The Politics of Envy is a stunning work of gladiatorial proportions, a seething arena of stellar collaborations and deceivingly dislocated backdrops, shot with Stewart's twistedly eloquent observations and manifestos. After spending the last three decades watching his innovations plundered and turned into gold by friends and foes, he coolly returned with his most high profile album to date, re-establishing him as one of the most volcanic creative minds this country has ever produced. Recent single "Stereotype" has shown how Stewart could also make the perfect post-punk pop song over 30 years on. Now he's capping his remarkable year with his most gloriously ferocious statement yet, blowing up the sound system with proper aural anarchy.

Twenty years in the making, Nothing But Noise, the trio led by Front 242 mastermind Daniel B and featuring original Front 242 member Dirk Bergen and Erwin Jadot, finally release their debut album Not Bleeding Red on Future Noise Music. Borne from a deep love of analog synthesizers and inspired by the likes of Manuel Göttsching, Tangerine Dream's early albums and Bowie's Berlin period, Not Bleeding Red is an album that fully deserves its place in the long and distinguished history of European synth acts. Created in Daniel B's studio, the album features an array of rare and vintage analog synthesizers such as the Moog Voyager, Prophet8, Juno 106 and Arp Odyssey. No nostalgia-fest though, the album also explores the possibilities afforded by today's new breed of analog synthesizers. Its lineage might be clear, but this is an album that looks forward, respectful of the past, but not in its thrall. Not Bleeding Red is an expansive affair, an album in love with sound itself and tracks such as the elegiac nearly 19-minute long "CK" are given time to evolve and develop in stately fashion, unfolding like some grand cosmic ballet. Uncompromising and haunting, this is an album that conjures up vast vistas of space, both cold and beautiful at the same time. On tracks like "Puzzle Cosmique" and "Second Seven," Nothing But Noise join the dots between the likes of electronic pioneers such as the Radiophonic Workshop through to present-day acts such as Sunn O))). Having honed the Nothing But Noise sound over the course of two decades and a series of critically-acclaimed live performances, Not Bleeding Red is the culmination of a lifetime's obsession with synthesized sound and a timeless example of how raw circuit boards can produce something stunningly beautiful. A fully-realized concept, Not Bleeding Red arrives in hardbook packaging with a 12-page photo booklet.

Limited deluxe edition, packaged in a hard-case book format. Includes the bonus CD, Experiments EP. At the end of 2011, a year of riots, revolutions, occupations and an increasing collapse of the global financial system, Mark Stewart returned with the limited 7" of Children Of The Revolution, perfectly capturing the restless mood on today's streets worldwide to create the apocalyptic dancehall mutation of T. Rex's glam classic. His new album, The Politics Of Envy, features a stellar cast, including original Clash/PiL guitarist Keith Levene, NYC punk innovator Richard Hell, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Gina Birch of The Raincoats, Slits bassist Tessa Pollitt, Jesus And Mary Chain bassist Douglas Hart, Factory Floor, Daddy G of Massive Attack and all of Primal Scream. All roads have been leading to this. The Politics Of Envy cages, consolidates and hotwires the rampant barrage of elements which have infused Mark Stewart's work since his first band, The Pop Group blasted the post-punk landscape. "Vanity Kills" kicks off the album with cult film-maker Kenneth Anger on Theremin, plus Richard Hell and Bristol new-blood Kahn. Followed by "Autonomia," featuring Bobby Gillespie's frenetic call-and-response chant with Stewart, who wrote the song about Carlo Giuliani, killed at the 2001 G8 demonstrations in Genoa. Lee "Scratch" Perry guests on "Gang War," spitting diamonds, with Tessa Pollitt blanketing the dense, heavyweight urban dubscape, before Stewart takes us into the slo-mo cold-wave of "Codex." Joined by Factory Floor and Youth for "Want," Stewart then hits us with the album's fine example of 21st-century schizoid wall-of-sound, "Gustav Says." Railing against "corporate cocksuckers" and declaring "sanity sucks" on the cool disco-electro track "Baby Bourgeois," we're then taken into the huge, seething synth-crawl of "Method To The Madness," providing one of the album's atmospheric highlights, gouging beyond industrial or dubstep to create a frightening new take on modern mood music. Daddy G's unmistakable deep-throat intonations make the perfect garnish for the bleak, heaving whale of a tune, that is "Apocalypse Hotel." Being mutual fans of their work, Stewart gives us his version of David Bowie's "Letter To Hermione," now a spookily-orchestrated, beatless lament. Stewart turns on the light and lets Keith Levene unleash some of his inimitable metal guitar jangle on "Stereotype." They are joined by Factory Floor and Gina Birch on this slice of gorgeously-melancholic brilliance, an effortless modern pop classic which provides the perfect end to this intoxicatingly provocative set of songs. Continuing an unmatchable track record of anarchic pioneering and seismic influence, Mark Stewart is back with his eighth album and what must be his most high-profile project to date, reasserting him as one of the great volcanic creative minds.

FNMTW 1002EP
|
Remix EP of the Mark Stewart/Primal Scream single "Autonomia" by two heavyweight champions of the underground, Pinch and JD Twitch. Pinch loads up on the dark and brooding, with a stripped and dubby Shackleton-esque interpretation, while Twitch opts for a warped and slo-mo, acid-licked stomp. Both offer deliciously moody interpretations of the first single from the upcoming Mark Stewart album The Politics Of Envy. Limited edition of 500.

FNMSE 002EP

Mark Stewart, sonic visionary and pioneer of mutant music returns. Limited edition of 500, individually hand-painted and numbered 7" single for Black Friday. Double A-side. Each hand-worked sleeve constitutes one unique piece of Mark's bombart. Ultra-violently noisy and perfectly capturing the restless mood on today's global streets from London to Libya, these two non-album tracks come from recent sessions for Mark Stewart's forthcoming LP. The apocalyptic revamp of T. Rex's "Children Of The Revolution" sees Mark team up with The Bug for a jaggedly compulsive take on the glam classic. "Nothing Is Sacred" features Crass' Eve Libertine, Berlin electro monsters Slope and Pop Group bassist Dan Catsis -- a rabble-rousing clarion call and indictment of 2011 Britain.
