Novy Svet / O Paradis - Destello de Estrellas en la Frente (Punch Records)


Beautiful follow-up to their collaboration CD released in 2003, with the same combination of acoustic Mediterranean folk music and electronic psychedelia that made it a success.

O Paradis - La Boca Del Infernio (Punch Records)


"Hell's Mouth" stares at you on the cover of this new release from O Paradis, and the 10 tracks are a suitably infernal mix of seductive beauty and blackened ugliness. The gentle Mediterranean guitars are present as before, but dirtied by plaintive looped noises and a taste for the dissonant. Quite likely the most experimental work by O Paradis so far, one on which he bares himself in more ways than one.

O Paradis - Cuando el Tiempo Sopla (Punch Records)


A new album's worth of beautiful and melancholic tunes from Barcelona's O Paradis. The tone is sorrowful and nostalgic, with the passing of time serving as a constant theme throughout the album (I don't think I'm imagining those tick-tocking rhythms). Definitely a step away from the more upbeat collaborations with Novy Svet and even more unusual in some ways than "La Boca del Infierno" ("Desnuda" will certainly mess with you), this is another excellent release from O Paradis that's rightfully been released by Punch Records.

O Paradis - Las Nubes que Mueren (Punch Records)


2CD compilation of previously abandoned and unreleased tracks and demos from past recording sessions. While this sort of exercise usually gathers leftovers that prove only interesting to completists, O Paradis' level of work makes this collection a release that can definitely stand on its own merit.

O Paradis - Pequeñas Canciones De Amor (Tourette)


New 2008 release from our favorite Catalonian troubadour, with a somewhat more light-hearted and poppy spirit than "Cuando El Tiempo Sopla". Pure Mediterranean sunshine. Also features a cover of Bob Dylan's "It Ain't Me, Babe".

Oleg Kostrow - Imago (Solnze Records)


"Imago" is a soundtrack to a theater play by the same name written by Maxim Kurochkin. The material here is composed and recorded by Oleg Kostrow, one of the two members of Messer Für Frau Müller. Pretty much indistinguishable from MFFM, the tracks on this CD feature the same combination of light-hearted lounge / exotica with playful Jean-Jacques Perrey-style electronics.

Omenya - Ancient Rites (Purple Soil)

Ond - S/T (Inner Gravity)


Debut release from this American dark ambient duo whose memorable CD-R release on Somnambulant Corpse ("For Influence Blooms Of The Subtle Wing") some of you might remember. On this album the sound is bass-heavy, melodic and mournful, with some minimal percussion pacing some of the tracks. While the two longest pieces slightly suffer from being stretched out for too long with too little, that shouldn't detract from what is an overall solid debut.

Onirot - Augusta Taurinorum (Inner Gravity)


There's very little information on this one, so a brief summary will have to do. What you'll find here is a combination of cinematic (as in trailer-style sped-up sound effects) dark ambient and horror movie synth soundtrack. Despite minor production limitations (not everyone can be an instant Lustmord when doing sound design), there's a definite "demon in the cellar" B-movie charm to this. Pick it up and find out.
