This collection of 30 tracks from the current industrial/techno underground celebrates five years of "technoid" releases by the cutting-edge German imprint Hymen Records. With their associated label, Ant-Zen, Hymen has been exploring the darker side of the electronic scene, where industrial, idm/techno, ambient and drum 'n bass converge into interesting shapes. Available as a nicely priced double disc cd or as a four piece vinyl set in a semi-transparent plastic box, Masonic features many exclusive tracks from prolific producers such as Mick Harris aka Scorn, Panacea, Funkstorung and Italy's Bochum Welt. Winnipeg's groovily-named Aaron Funk is also among the label's featured artists, with another slice of his hard-hitting breakbeat sound that has won him fans all over the world. Real audio samples can be heard @ www.klangstabil.com/hymen/all/y719.html.
