Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Brusnika (Drone Records)
Shamanistic ethno-ambient from the ever prolific Evgueny Savenko, responsible for the various incarnations of the Lunar Abyss projects, Ritualnaya Bioingeneria, and the BioSonar label. The two tracks here gather the sound of crackling fire, warm bass drones and distant animal cries for a particularly organic type of ambient. Pick up their CD on Chimaera while you're at it.

Chaos as Shelter - Dead Air Broadcasts (DTA Records)
One of the early releases by this Israeli dark ambient act. Relying on processed and sampled radio sounds as the basis for most of the tracks, "Dead Air Broadcasts" shows much more depth once you familiarize yourself with it. Might definitely appeal to Kryptogen Rundfunk fans.

Forma4 - Cycle (DTA Records)
Label info: "Russian artist forma4 (a side project of kvadrat) takes us on a journey through all different sub genres of noise. in the end the album has a definite dark ambient feel to it, more so than anything else, but throughout the course of the album we are greeted with bits and pieces of power noise, minimalism, a little d-n-b, and various other types of electronic music."

Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar - Skrankverk (Dystonia EK)
New album from this Swedish band whose previous one was released on SNSE. Clanging, scraping and squeaking metal resonates over the hum of flooded machine rooms and the gas bursts from rusting pneumatic tubes. This is the sound of toiling poltergeists, endlessly repeating the rituals of an industrial wasteland's cargo cult.
(CD, digipak, $13.00)

Phragments - The Burning World (Eastern Front)
Second release from this Slovakian project, showcasing 7 tracks of bombastic orchestrations, martial atmospheres and industrial loops. While heavily influenced by a number of CMI acts (the Protagonist in particular) and not particularly distinguishable from its peers in this field, the album is rather well executed and efficient at what it sets out to achieve.
(CD, oversized 3-panel color sleeve, $12.00)
