Arc - The Circle is Not Round (A Silent Place)
Debut CD release from Arc, the trio of Aidan Baker (guitars, flutes, tape loops), Richard Baker (drum kit, percussion) and Christopher Kukiel (percussion). This results in a combination of the more melodic Aidan Baker pieces with layers of varied percussive instruments, giving the sound a rhythmical and live quality that works consistently with the ambient drones. Pleasant and soothing stuff.

Arc - 13th (Taalem)
Label info: "Arc is a Canadian trio comprised of Aidan Baker, Richard Baker (no, they're not brothers) and Christopher Kukiel. It was formed spontaneously in 1999.
Arc's music is based on drones and melodic loops created by Aidan's heavily-treated guitar. Add Richard and Chrisopher's tribal-ish rhythms made with various percussive instruments and you get the picture. [...]"

Archon Orchestra - Pong (Muzyka Voln)
Minimalist keyboard music from the same people who brought you Sphere Rex. There's something unusually appealing about the ascetic and repetitive patterns that form the basis of "Pong", be they electronic organ sounds or piano lines. Perfect music for writing code.

Arktau Eos - Mirrorion (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work. [...]
For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones, accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of stringed instruments."

Asmorod - Hysope (Steinklang)
Label info: "Steinklang is proud to announce the imminent release of the 4th Asmorod CD : Hysope; a fascinating introspective deep ambient work that distinguished itself from the mass of uniform dark ambient releases. Niiko (now the only member of Asmorod) used the word Hysope (French word for Hyssop) as a symbolism of spiritual purification. In ancient times, Hyssop was used for the cleansing of lepers and used for cleaning sacred places. Two tracks from this album feature choirs by eLL from Sui Generis Umbra."

Aural Holograms - Vol. I (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "The very first part of the Aural Holograms series incorporates various call and response patterns manifesting vibrating, subtle energies, all of which have been accurately divided into separate rhythmic dimensions and time-shifting aural tapestries.
The overall experience - i.e. the ecstatic effect - is transmitted by the intensity of syncopated rhythms, reed organ lingering on a few tones, self-transforming vocal work accompanied with carefully chosen oscillating tunes and a variety of percussive patterns utilising artefacts crafted according to the methods of traditional metallurgia, as well as real-time tape operations."
