The Mindliberation Soundsystem are reva and der schwarm. Together they are producing stangely familiar sounds. A life improvised features a liveset which they performed on the 5th of july at the Kopfsülz store in Aachen. On this record you will find some rather warm and organic beats, sometimes amorphous and chaotic. On occation there are some lyrics around. The instrumentation is certainly unique. I’m not exactly sure what sorts of noise producing tools were used in this episode but it is lot of pleasure listening to it. The tracklist reads as follows:
1. Genesis
2. Der Sonntag
[audio:http://www.thetarecords.de/wp-content/uploads/kopfsulztracks_02.mp3]
3. Sonntag Nachmittag
4. Bambus Step
[audio:http://www.thetarecords.de/wp-content/uploads/kopfsulztracks_04.mp3]
5. Das Weisse Rauschen
6. Noisery
7. Elvis Has Left The Building
The total playtime of the record is 66 minutes and 15 seconds.

The Theta Records Mix CD Vol. 1 is a collection of tracks which defines the spectrum of music Theta records is up to. The 40 minute Mix pays tribute to the classical 70’s Dub music as well as to the contemporary Dubstep scene. Beside the Dub references you’ll find two rather experimental German productions from the late 70’s in the Mix, which are still worth listening today. The third party in the mix represents producers, making instrumental music, which builds a loose link to Hiphop. The Mix CD is packed in a silver metal Box. It contains a handmade booklet, the CD itself and a tracklist. The booklet cover is available in 4 colors: purple, yellow, green and light blue. The CD is available for 5 Euro + delivery charge.
The delivery charges are:
- Berlin: free
- Germany: 1 Euro
- Europe: 2,50 Euro
For orders please use order(at)thetareocrds.de.

Rauschbärte is Reverse Angle, Björn and Achim.
Achim and Björn are in charge of the Rauschabstand radioshow. Rauschbärte is the german expression for beards of noise. Despite the name, noise is only one major influence of the group. They are fond of loop based arrangements and a strong distortion of sound and speech. In there live performances they use 2 or 3 portable PCs respectively macintosh computers, a bass, a saxophone, contact microphones, a voice recorder and a bunch of machines for sound effects.
Here is one of the sessions which they did on the 08.08.08. in an art gallery called 23m2 in Aken.
Live and improvised.

Reverse Angle makes music for some time now. In the very beginning he played guitar in band which was into some sort of Doom Metal and Industrial music. As time went by more and more music found his interest. By making use of the possibilities his Personal Computer offered in terms of music production he found his own style. By now he uses several, to some extent unique instruments and machines in addition and reflects his wide range of influences in his works.
In August 2008 he got signed to Theta Records. At the minute he is working on his first release for Theta Records.
