"Reincarnation" is a document of the psychedelic avant-garde, which does not even want to be called an "industrial" with its ideological and sound cliches. On this record the sound of the early Bulgarians reaches its maximum depth, without resorting to post-modern sound collages and Soviet industrial aesthetics. As the name suggests, this record is dedicated to the eternal processes of decay and revival, decomposition, conceiving and birth. And this should be understood in a much more spiritual sense, rather than in the physical. And that's why this album can be considered as an alchemical experience in the field of sound. It is pointless to describe the music itself, all this enumeration of rhythmic structures and ambient landscapes will not give any idea of this work, which by the way includes one of the most famous Bulgarian composition "My Fire Shines In The Fog". This must be listened and lived. Our edition also includes two tracks from the single "9211-7140" and three rare extra tracks.
Connoisseurs know that this project is a milestone in the history of the Russian underground, one of the founders of Post-Soviet industrial, example of uncompromising musical avant-garde, sonic experimentation and manipulation with mind.
We signed a contract with Alexander Chulkov, a member of the original group and direct copyright holder, under which our label is the only official publisher of all early "Bulgarian" stuff recorded prior to the tragic death of Alexey Chulkov — Alexander’s younger brother and the founding member of the project, including self-released cassette albums, lost songs and other stuff.
The first and only official edition of the legendary records.

"Реинкарнация" — документ психоделического авангарда, который даже не хочется называть "индастриалом" с его идеологическими и звуковыми клише. Здесь саунд у ранних Болгар достигает своей максимальной глубины, без обращения к постмодернистскому коллажированию и советской промышленной эстетике. Как следует из названия, пластинка обращена к вечным процессам распада и воссоединения, разложения, зачатия и рождения. Причем это следует понимать в намного более духовном плане, нежели чем в физическом. И именно поэтому данный альбом можно считать алхимическим опытом в сфере звука. Описывать саму музыку не имеет смысла, всё это перечисление ритмических структур и эмбиентных пейзажей не даст никакого представления об этой работе, в состав которой кстати входит одна из самых известных Болгарских вещей "Мой Костер В Тумане Светит". Это нужно слушать и прожить. В наше издание также включены два трека с сингла "9211-7140" и три редкие бонусные композиции.
Ценители знают, что данный проект — это целая веха в истории российского андеграунда, одни из родоначальников пост-советского индастриала, пример бескомпромиссного музыкального авангардизма, звуковых экспериментов и манипуляций с сознанием.
С Александром Чулковым, прямым правообладателем и участником оригинального состава Болгар, подписан договор, в соответствии с которым наш лейбл отныне является единственным официальным издателем всего раннего «болгарского» материала, записанного до трагической смерти Алексея Чулкова, включая кассетный самиздат, потерянные композиции и прочее.
Первое и единственное официальное издание легендарных записей.

Purposely scaled-back electronic music, “Intruder” is all about the texture of a few pieces of gear playing off one another. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 26, 2023
