Grundik and Slava - Frogs (Topheth Prophet / Auris Media)
The second part of the "Fauna" series by this project, the first of which was released by Stateart. Thematically and sonically centered around frogs and their environment, this release results from a collaboration with singer Victoria Hanna and also features contributions from Israeli artists Vadim Gusis (Chaos as Shelter) and Igor Krutogolov (Igor18). The album is a pleasant, new-age tinged stroll through the world of our croaking fellows. Co-released with Auris Media.

h.h.t.p. & portablepalace - Cavitation (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "The interaction between computer science technology and free-form musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments."

Halo Manash - Par-Antra I: Vir (Aural Hypnox)
First part of a sonic trilogy, this is high quality soundscape material made from organic elements (including e-bowed guitars, wind bones, chanting vocals) and analog synthesizers. Great production level and a refreshing approach make this project one to keep an eye on.
(CD, A5 booklet, include a 50cm x 40 cm Vir-Wallcanvas, out of stock)
Halo Manash - Syoma (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "Halo Manash's third full-length album offers both minimalistic and complex material mainly created via acoustic instrumentation. The ritualistic / electro-acoustic soundscape is based on dark and hypnotic sample textures, evolving guitar drones, dynamic ritual-percussions & reverberating gongs/chimes/bells, chanting vocalizations, various windbones / experimental instruments and analog synthesizers."
(CD, in 6-panel cardboard package, $15.50)

Halo Manash - Language of Red Goats (Aural Hypnox)
New 2008 release from Aural Hypnox's spearhead project. "Language of Red Goats" sets aside the intricate textures of previous releases for a stripped-down and primal approach, relying mostly on reverberating gongs, bells and various acoustic sounds to form the backbone of this album. In lesser hands, this could be a recipe for dull listening, but the 3 long flowing tracks presented here make for an absorbing session of ritualistic music done right.

Hati - Works for Scrap Metal (Eter)
A collection of 9 minimalistic audio exercises achieved using exclusively the sounds of various pieces of discarded metal junk (barrels, springs, chains, steel plates, etc...). The crystalline recording quality strongly emphasizes the timber and tone of each sound source, bringing to mind some of the more subdued A.B.G.S. material.

Haus Arafna - Butterfly (Galakthorrö)
Long awaited third release from this cult project. Less confrontational and aggressive than "Children of God" but their most personal and emotional work so far. Strongly recommended.
