Genesis P-Orridge announces: “We are thrilled to report that the new PSYCHIC TV / PTV3 album Mr. Alien Brain Vs. The Skinwalkers will be released by Cargo/Sweet Nothing Records on October 20th, 2008. It will be a CD + DVD containing a featurette edited by filmmaker Marie Losier.”

Niko Skorpio’s new album Half Born in Half Light is “based on the foundations of psychedelic ambient soundscapes and darkly majestic bass drone, over which tribal rhythms and magickal vocal invocations build grotesque alien monoliths whose angles mock the euclidean mathematics of conventional composition.” Released on CD and MP3 on Some Place Else in August, the album contains seven tracks with the total running time of about 65 minutes.

Ovro, the wondergirl of Finnish dark ambient and experimental electronic music, releases her new album titled Revisited on Some Place Else early August. Available on CD and MP3, it is “a rethought, reworked, remastered - revisited - second incarnation of the well-received, quite rare 2006 release Estraier” (to quote her own words).

Kuolleen Musiikin Yhdistys described Estraier as: “amazingly gorgeous, restrainedly beautiful ambient … cracks, noises and clangs … a floating soundscape with vocals like seagulls … rustling, backward sounds and clanging … hollow but hypnotic … This is a highly impressive whole”

Additionally, Ovro is already working on new material, a sample of which can be found on her myspace as the track titled The Blank Years.

Fulgur is publishing a scetchbook The Valley of Fear by Austin Osman Spare. Previously unpublished, these works date from 1924 onward which turned out one of the darker periods for the artist.

“Then recently seperated from his wife and living in reduced circumstances, the critical failure of his publishing venture The Golden Hind triggered a deep personal crisis for our artist. Disconnected from an evolving art world, Spare’s creative energies turned inward and he began a series of extraordinarily powerful works intended to fully capture his bitter desperation and fragile hope.”

Publication date (and a launch party) is July 15th, more information here.

Attention! KAAOS.org webmaster wants to inform you about something:

The domain kaaos.org was registered July 13th, 1999. That means it currently experiences its tenth year of activity. To celebrate this a bit, we decided to reactivate some areas, including this newsfeed. It was rather quiet here for a couple of years (with the exception of a number of ’subsites’ probably), but now we attempt to change that. First up is this newsfeed with which we follow the original plan: to question the consensus reality and each multividual’s reality tunnel. Thus the slogan: Everything you know is STILL wrong.

Vatican spreads cancer
Cardinal and priest in charge of Vatican Radio have been convicted of polluting the atmosphere with powerful electromagnetic waves. Two scientific studies have suggested a field of Vatican Radio broadcasting antennas north of Rome may have caused high rates of cancer in the area. The first, in 2001, found that magnetic fields around the transmitters were much higher than normal limits allow. (from BBC news)

John Dee’s crystal ball stolen

A rare 16th-century crystal ball that belonged to John Dee, philosopher, mathematician and astrologer, and a consultant to Elizabeth I, has been stolen from the Science Museum in London. The thief also took a statement about the ball’s use by the pharmacist Nicholas Culpeper, written on the reverse of ancient deed manuscripts in the mid-1600s. It’s good to have the manual with you in case something goes wrong… (Times Online)
