The Faust Cycle or, The House of Dr Faustus Written, Composed, Performed & Produced by Ergo Phizmiz Project consultants James Nye, Martha Moopette, The Travelling Mongoose One afternoon Ergo Phizmiz finds himself lumbered into delivering a parcel to the house of legendary alchemist and necromancer Dr Johann Faustus who, since the events of some time ago for which he is renowned, has entered into a rather quieter life in a vast, labyrinthine house, with hundreds of lodgers running the gamut from artists, birds, bird-people, walking fictions, ventriloquists, a Cassowary, running chairs, walking gramophones, and myriad automata. This enormous dream fable, told through speech, songs, collage and sound-design, is the result of over three years delving down various rabbit-holes, and features collaborations in a range of contexts with artists of many disciplines, including Jack Phoenix, Margita Zalite, Pete Um, Angela Valid, Bela Emerson, Martha Moopette, Amie Willingale, and Zenith Pitts. In glorious radiophonic technicolour, it is a musical-comedy of disorientation and magick, somewhere between nightmare and the half-remembered childhood whimsy of an insomniac music-hall artiste. Please note – “The Faust Cycle” is not, necessarily, suitable for sensitive ears at times, containing, as it does, some naughty words, some sexy references, and a healthy smattering of scatological excess.

First release of 2010 comes from Dark Quality. He is also known as Exigent, member of Fuerzamusic. This alias unveils a totally different sound from him. Tech-electro tracks on retro base. Failed Love and Mono definitely look back to the 90's. The other 2 pieces also show Dark Quality's analog world in a psychedelic environment, embedded in techno, covered with dirt and insolence.
