Berlin-based independent music label Pelagic Records commemorates the work of seminal industrial / ambient / ost / electronic music pioneer Lustmord, not only by re-releasing Lustmord’s albums “Beyond” (2009), “The Dark Places Of The Earth” (2009) and 2008’s “Other” (to date the only Lustmord album with guitars on it, performed by King Buzzo (Melvins) and Aaron Turner (Isis) and Tool’s Adam Jones), but also by releasing the 2cd- & 3lp-boxset “The Others” with Lustmord tracks reinterpreted by some of the spearheads of the contemporary heavy music scene - and beyond: Ulver, Enslaved, Godflesh, Zola Jesus, Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, Steve Von Till, Ihsahn, Jaye Jayle, Jo Quail, Spotlights, Katatonia’s Jonas Renske , Alexander Hacke’s (Einsturzende Neubauten) new band Hackedepiciotto, as well as fellow Pelagic artists Mono, The Ocean, Arabrot and Crown.

“The Others - Lustmord Deconstructed” is a celebration of the fearless attitude of being different and the expression of unique ideas which have never existed before. Each of these 16 artists delivers an interpretation that pays the deepest respect to this pivotal artist, while also standing out as a new track of its own. “The Others - Lustmord Deconstructed” is not only a tribute and an excellent entry point into the discography of the founding father of the dark electronic ambient genre. It is also a celebration of the most accomplished visionaries in the underground music scene of today, and a manifestation of what binds them together. As Brian Williams aka Lustmord himself often put it in interviews: “Copying someone you like with the right equipment isn’t going to be the least bit interesting. What matters is that you have good ideas and interesting things to say”.
