about

"Marasm;a" is the earliest sound work of the Bulgarians, bringing down on the listener an avalanche of technogenic psychosis and postmodern satire, quite in the spirit of the early Throbbing Gristle and Industrial Records. That just worth it a reversed song "Ohrana" (means "Security") from the cult Soviet cartoon "The Bremen Musicians", which Bulgarians turn into the Bulgarian folk song "Onarkho". In its atmosphere, the album goes back to the roots of Soviet industrial, namely to the album "Playing the Airplane Under the Bed" of the unforgettable project "Communism". Psychedelic voice samples, vibrations of analog synthesizers, imitation of throat singing, cassette loops, factory noises, robot marches and moans of biomechanical prostitutes. At the same time, all this abundance of anti-music streams is given in very adjusted doses, not merging into a formless mass. Conceptualism in action.

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.

"Маразм;а" — наиболее ранняя звуковая работа Болгар, обрушивающая на слушателя лавину техногенного психоза и постмодернистской сатиры, вполне в духе ранних Throbbing Gristle и Industrial Records. Чего стоит только реверсированная песенка «Охрана» из культового мультфильма "Бременские Музыканты", которая у Болгар превращается в болгарскую народную песенку "Онархо". По своей атмосфере пластинка восходит к корням отечественного индастриала, а именно к альбому "Игра В Самолетики Под Кроватью" незабвенного проекта Коммунизм. Психоделические голосовые сэмплы, вибрации аналоговых синтезаторов, имитация горлового пения, кассетные петли, заводские шумы, марши роботов и стоны биомеханических проституток. При этом всё данное обилие антимузыкальных потоков подается очень выверенными дозами, не сливаясь в бесформенную массу. Концептуализм в действии.

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.
