Hollydrift - Waiting For The Tiller (Parasomnic Records)
Hollydrift is Wisconsin-based Mathias Anderson's experimental sound project. "Waiting for the Tiller" is his first proper CD release if I'm not mistaken, and it's a finely crafted piece of work with a high level of attention paid to detail. The ten tracks here often work as collage pieces, with field recordings of all sorts (number stations, answering machine messages, nonsensical vocal snippets) mingling with radiant droning loops and sedated noise outbursts.
(CD, clear jewel case, 12.00 €, last copy)

Magicicada - Everyone is Everyone (Public Guilt)
Label info: "Everyone is Everyone is an organic, experimental work that blends traditional, as well as folk and eastern instruments with found objects, samplers and field recordings to create a work that varies from delicate, cinematic soundscapes to harsh electronic environments. The instrumentation includes (but is not limited to): pump organ, voice, contact mics on faulty electrical lines, melodica, toys, iron balls rolling on wooden floors, accordion, cellophane, air cans, tape decks for the blind, guitar, shruti box, MARTA (Atlanta’s public transit), synths, oven door (percussion,) cellos, zurna, paper, frogs in the backyard, and the remains of Hurricane Denis shaking the roof."
(CD, Arigato pak with inserts, 8.00 €)

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.
(CD, jewel case in silk-screened slipcase, 8.00 €)

Ait! / Novy Svet / O Paradis / Totenlieder - Drinking to Better Days (Punch Records)
A great experimental neo-folk compilation that brings together some of the most (and few) lively and interesting bands in this field. Each of the four participating projects contributed two tracks to this 12" EP. The luxurious hand-made sleeve is covered in blue velvet on the outside and satin on the inside, and this release is limited to 410 hand-numbered copies.
(12" EP, out of stock)
Erik Ursich - Kanashii (Punch Records)
A debut release that is sure to please those into cold minimal electronics with a melancholic touch. The LP relies heavily on vintage synthesizers, giving the whole thing a certain retro quality.
(Grey 12", hand-numbered and limited to 300 copies, out of stock)
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.
(CD, digipak, 12.00 €)

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.
(CD, digipak, to be restocked soon)
Ait! - Romanticismo Oltranzista (Punch Records)
Label info: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Mr. AIT! is back at last to reveal himself with a new kinky show
for those of you having lost their heart in a dark Italian discotheque, some thirty years ago.
With a couple of hard-boiled songs and a boxful of extremist love letters
this obscure erotique one man orchestra gets its stylish fists right into the face of today's fashion kids. Too strong to be pussy. Too pussy to be romantic. A bizarre cup of circus fun served in a Jess Franco ballet dance through hell.
Remember the mirrorballs and watch this whole unique striptease from lounge to funk to rock'n'punk. Everything in here, more than a spicy cocktail. All shaken not stirred. A punch of its own!"
(CD, digipak with 28-page booklet, 13.50 €)

Comando Suzie - Pobres Chavales (Punch Records)
First album from a Spanish duo with a rather slick and sexy take on new-wave / 80's electro-pop. The eleven tracks of this album recount tales of "love, desire, remorse and punishment" set in Barcelona and as crooned by Comandante Raul. Sarcastic and refreshingly spirited.
(CD, clear jewel case, 13.00 €)
