"Paper Wraps Rock"

Hailing from Jolly Old England comes Trakwerx’ first international signing and release, Paper Wraps Rock by London’s own Cult With No Name. Self-professed “post-punk electronic balladeers” the London duo of Erik Stein (lead vocals/rhythm piano) and Jon Boux (lead piano/rhythm vocals) have created a unique piano/synth (no guitars to be seen!) sound that uncannily captures both the subtlety and sophistication of Erik Stein’s personal lyrical stylings.

"Ballade of Tristram's Last Harping"

Approximately eight months from their last release (Groundhog Day to Halloween to be exact) The 17th Pygmy has indeed released Ballade of Tristram’s Last Harping, their second full length CD in less than one year. Formerly known as 17 Pygmies, The 17th Pygmy was a name that better reflected the ‘60s Psychedelic -70’s Classic Rock direction of the new recordings. Think The 17th Floor Elevator or perhaps The Exploding Plastic Inevitable Pygmy. The 17th Pygmy have combined their unique talents to create a musical tribute to the style and inventiveness of some of their favorite music, namely ‘60s Psychedelia and ‘70s Classic Rock.

"Nosferatu" DVD

NOSFERATU is Del Rey & The Sun King's second installment in a planned set of four new soundtracks for classic films made during the silent era of motion pictures. Their first release was a radically re-worked (and surprisingly, highly popular) score for Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 classic film Battleship Potemkin. Nosferatu also pays homage to several of Del Rey's favorite film composers, most notably Tangerine Dream, Popol Vue, Rachel Portman and Thomas Newman.

With a number of live performances planned and a built-in audience composed of (or is that decomposed of?) those who enjoy the death/glam/Goth lifestyle, not to mention the potential of midnight performance for actual vampires, Del Rey & The Sun King's Nosferatu should have no problem building upon and surpassing the strong commercial showing of it's predecessor Battleship Potemkin.
