Spark - The Robotic Girl Next Door (n5md)
Cute little release with crisp 8-bit melodies and bit-quantized drum patterns. Arguably not the most original recipe out there, but nicely done with enough hooks to keep you tuned in.

Sphere Rex - For Electronics and Piano (Muzyka Voln)
Label info: "Muzyka Voln in cooperation with the Moscow label Monopoly Records and the Voronezh label Shadowplay Records presents the solo album of one of Cyclotimia members - Sphere Rex. [...]
Sphere Rex plays ambient in this uncommon for today traditional vein, combining minimalism and "background"-style of electronic music a la Brian Eno and piano improvisations based on proto-ambient ideas of Erik Satie. This music is able to calm down and lull to sleep like alpha-wave rhythms or paint weird images guided by the surreal titles of compositions in one's imagination. For the goals of complete authenticity only analogue devices were used in recordings, as well as tube preamps and compressors from 60s-70s."

Sshe Retina Stimulants - Ketsueki No Eiga (Self Abuse)
Brain-frying frequencies manipulated with savage precision by Paolo Bandera, also known for his works as Sigillum S. Where others merely content themselves with always-in-the-red walls of noise, Sshe Retina Stimulants have mastered the capacity of building tension and delivering the way it matters.

Stalnoy Pakt - Russia's Awakening (ALF Produkt)
First full-length CD from Alexander Lebedev-Frontov's other main project. While Linija Mass takes its aesthetic inspirations from Futurism and Soviet socialist realism, here the focus is shifted to militarism and nationalism, possibly in a manner related to the kind that is re-surfacing in Russia these days.
The sound is closer to ambient / martial industrial, but whereas most Western European projects in this field aim to infuse themselves with a sense of often overblown heroic bombast, Stalnoy Pakt's take on the genre turns marches into dehumanized machine-like processions and hymns into oppressive drones. Utterly bleak and captivating.

Stalnoy Pakt - O Roma O Morte! (ALF Produkt)
Sights and sounds of Fascist Italy condensed into one 16-min long military-industrial collage of anthems, marches, cheering crowds and gramophone fuzz. Includes a 3-min video clip set to the tune of a reconstructed version of "Giovinezza". Best enjoyed with a fine glass of castor oil.

Stalnoy Pakt / Anthesteria / Mikhail Vavich - Dedicated To The Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905 (Der Angriff / Indiestate Distribution)
Label info: "This split release is a commemoration of one of the most tragic pages of Russian history in the 20th century - the Russo-Japanese War. This lost war became a deep scar in the national consciousness of that period and turned out to be among the most painful and powerful incentives for the following first Russian revolution (1905) and the further eventual decline of the Russian monarchy.
This CD is an attempt to revive the deep anxiety and the premonition of the upcoming relentless social shock which had overwhelmed the Russian nation in those times. Stalnoy Pakt presents maybe its most melodic tracks to date here, the distinctive band's multi-layered dark ambient fused with old military Japanese song samples and old Russian lyrical narrations, sometimes adorned with piano chords or martial drums. Anthesteria's cold gloomy tunes are combined with choir chants and gramophone record samples that aggravate the atmosphere of the dull waiting for the imminent disaster.
The album is concluded with an authentic historical recording of the classic track of the period called "Na Sopkakh Manchzhurii" performed by a very famous singer of that time, Mikhail Vavich. This funeral waltz dedicated to the victims of this war drives the overall feel of despair and grief up to the highest limit. The album could be compared to the best examples of historically inspired works but with its own very special and purely Russian depressive mood. An absolute must!"

Stelladrine - Le Rire des Etoiles [mn015] (Mechanoise Labs)
Somewhere between the clouds of minimal bleeps and screeches and the constellations of sonic constructions with various sources (acoustic guitars, forks, bottles...) lurks "Le Rire des Etoiles".

Still - Remains (Public Guilt)
Dark ambient by Dälek's former turntablist (Hsi-Chang Lin), made exclusively with his Technics 1200's and an array of effects pedals. If Magwheels traded in his guitar for turntables, you'd get something not too dissimilar from the sort of melancholic swelling drones here.
