The Fall Of Nature CD
the fall of nature is an epic, grandiose drone piece almost one hour of pure electronics that echoes the masters of the form. the album grows in intensity throughout the recording making for an unexpected release. there are many sides of darkness and many ways to express it. the fall of nature is the balance of sound, in a listenable format. the initial feeling is that of an almost holy, heavenly sound, the skies opening in tribute to the nature which is falling. yet fans of classic sj will be plenty pleased at the psychotically manic conclusion that will not disappoint any fans of pe terror. this music takes aim at several nerve centers at once. this is not just noise, drone or pe but something new that mixes various elements of each together for the first time. hospital productions co-release with groundfault recordings

---------------
The Fall Of Nature CD (Ground Fault Recordings/Hospital Productions)
A single track clocking in at just under an hour The Fall Of Nature, available soon on Ground Fault Recordings/Hospital Productions. The Fall Of Nature depicts a nihilistic nightmare both on a personal and social level. This epic track evolves gradually starting with the voice of creation and ending with man's desperate screams of realisation and madness. The relentless music in between is "nothing short of monumental"

"The Sub Rosa compilations are dotted with a who's who of the electro-acoustic avant-garde from the past century, tossed in with a smorgasborg of previously unknown (and often very interesting) artists as well as contemporary musicians who are well on their way to establishing themselves within the canons of the institutional avant-garde. Sub Rosa has gone out of its way to compile a collection to scramble one's notions of the taxonomic rhetoric that may influence the perception of any of the artists present... (Aquarius)"

Ground Fault/Hospital Productions announcement:
"COMING SOON Sutcliffe Jugend "This Is The Truth" CD or 2xLP. Ground Fault Recordings and Hospital Producitons would like to announce the upcoming release of "This Is The Truth", the first Sutcliffe Jugend studio album in eight years. "This Is The Truth" quite possibly stands as one of the most original and perfectly balanced noise compositions of the last 10 years. It references and uses classic Sutcliffe Jugend of old while bringing in an entirely unique and fresh element one does not hear in noise. This album is a brilliant blend of foreboding tension, and anxiety while using the most lively, disturbing, and textual elements of noise. All of which are brought together with the phenomenal detail and balance of an accomplished electronic composer. Songs that you think will explode leave you hanging with tension, while others erupt with violence out of nowhere. It's an absolutely brilliant album that was worth the wait. The CD version is scheduled for 7th March release. A 2xLP version is also scheduled for the same date. The vinyl version has 2 extra tracks as well as a different mix of the title track."
