Messer Chups - Hyena Safari (Solnze Records)
The band's 8th album, released in late 2005. This time they're going at it with a slightly more instrumental approach, emphasizing the adrenaline-fueled spy-surf rock that is at the band's heart. Don't panic, the sounds effects and samples are still there. While I do personally miss Lydia Kavina's theremin, it is hard not to be swayed by the sexy stylings and great riffs of tracks such as "Hexe Chips" and "Charade?". As usual, the CD includes bonus videos whose 60's pulp horror esthetics perfectly match up with the music.

Messer Chups - Black Black Magic (Solnze Records)
Label info: "This Russian masterpiece twists you outta this world. Black Black Magic is Messer Chups most musical release. 50’s B-Movie soundtracks, the guitar at times reminiscent of Ricky King, Sci-Fi Horror ala Ed Wood, the erotique of Russ Meyer – all in perfect combination with Lydia Kavina’s (niece of Lev Termen, Theremin inventor) Theremin to mutate a sound so “retro”, that it sounds like the future.
The video for ‘Go Satan Go’ features Russian Playmate of the year Natalya Simakova, guaranteeing even more kitsch."

Miguel A. Ruiz - Grosor (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "This is the new, remastered version of classic material recorded back in 80s, next to postindustrial aesthetics priority in electronic music. Rigorous and austere, ascetic but dynamic, this music rearranges everyday being into mind-challenging imagination, reserving the leading parts for the habitual processes and domestic objects.
From the deep underground of Spanish industrial music, it comes to be rediscovered after 15 years."

Militia - Everything is One (Tactical Recordings)
2005 release from this eco-anarchist percussive unit, released 5 years after "The Black Flag Hoisted". This time round the tracks include an arsenal of instruments aside from the signature percussions, namely violins, accordions, horns and clarinets played by guest musicians. These additions and the "full" production make for somewhat denser arrangements than what Militia is known for, but it's all good and brings to mind "Pax Britannica"-era Test Dept. Not to be missed.

ML - Everyone Looks like Somebody else (n5md)
Choppy beats, bittersweet melodies and twitchy sample work make this one a nice cross of IDM and almost video-game music. Similar to Twine, Spark and assorted bleep-makers.
(CD, clear jewel-case, 11.00 € - to be repriced in USD, last copy)

Mlehst - An Old Broom Knows All The Dirty Corners (Belief Recordings)
First CD release from this long-active UK-based noise artist who's put out tapes, CD-Rs and vinyl on Self-Abuse, Nihilist and his own label, Belief Recordings. The sounds here range from spastic cut-up outbursts à la Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock to distressed sine tones.

Moljebka Pulse - Sadalsuud (Some Place Else)
Label info: "Mathias Josefson is a sound-artist from Stockholm, Sweden, and currently attending the royal university college of fine arts. His main project is Moljebka Pvlse, which is an experimental music group that works with both electronic and acoustic instruments, as well as with field recordings and found sounds. What comes out is hypnotic and meditative soundscapes.[...]
The name Sadalsuud refers to a star of the same name in the constellation of Aquarius. The name comes from an Arabic phrase meaning "the luckiest of them all". Nevertheless the album is rather earthy-sounding, yet mystical and surreal, almost claustrophobic at times. The sound is vaguely reminiscent of some works by Nurse With Wound, Maeror Tri or The Hafler Trio, but carries the trademark Moljebka Pvlse feel. [...]"

Moljebka Pulse / Horologium - Kaukasus (Beast of Prey)
Collaboration release between Moljebka Pulse and Horologium, inspired and devoted to the region where Europe and Asia meet and where ancestral grudges carry on to this day. Meditative drones and rumbling loops try to convey the majesty and richness of the region, but there are unfortunately no Azeri folk songs to be found here.

Monstrare / Wilt - Graveflowers (Angle Records)
Collaboration release bringing together two American dark ambient / isolationist projects. Imaginative and organic sonic compositions with subtle glitchy touches and a smattering of saturation here and there that will keep you on your toes.

Mux - The Second Confession (R.A.I.G.)
Another great discovery from the St Petersburg scene. Using analogue synthesizers, assorted instruments and digital processing, this duo churns out sludgy, rhythmic tracks with scraping sounds and rusty textures that wouldn't sound out of place on a Mental Destruction album. Add in some fragile melodic squalls and a strong sense of pacing, and you've got a release that definitely deserves attention.
(CD, special cardboard packaging, $19.00)
