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, to be restocked soon)

Alio Die - Suspended Feathers (Silentes)
Label info: "Silentes presents another great reissue. Suspended Feathers is one of the best well-known works by Alio Die, published originally in 1996 in a limited edition of 1000 copies in a special package by AQUA/AMPLEXUS and sold out for years. [...] The 5 tracks include one long track originally composed for the "mythical" Amplexus series, one track composed together with Gregorio Bardini nd one track composed with Vidna Obmana. After 10 years this album [still] sounds fresh and it's a real ambient masterpiece."

Amon - Nona (Weird Amplexus)
One 21-min track from Amon, the cinematic dark ambient project headed by Andrea Marutti, of Afe Records fame. As always the occult Egyptian themes aren't too far away, as this EP is inspired by the Rosemary case of the early 1930's. During those seances, a British woman allegedly spoke in ancient Egyptian and claimed to be "Nona", or "The One Without a Name", the consort of the Pharaoh Amenhotep III (ancient spirits just love these multiple nicknames). Going back to the music, this track could be thought of as an appropriate soundtrack to those candle-lit seances of yore where every kick in the table was obviously a sign of otherworldly communication.
(CD in 10"-sized sleeve, $12.00)

Andy Ortmann - Nightmania (Nihilist)
First full-length album from the founding member of Panicsville and the Nihilist label. This release contains 6 tracks that individually serve as soundtracks to the drawings and collages presented in the booklet. From corrosive pools of gurgling noises to dense collaged moments of joyful mental retardation, this is a rich and rewarding listen for those with a taste for the disturbing. A special mention also goes out for the crystal clear audio production.

Anthesteria - Phobos 1953 (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "The name of Anthesteria is already well-known to the connoisseurs of Russian post-industrial music. This project has released two solo CDs, a collaboration work with Stalnoy Pakt, and a number of tracks on various compilations. After this the project's leader George Beloglazov founded his own multimedia studio Phantomery Interactive and focused his attention on creating computer games with an unconventional author approach.
After releasing the appreciated game "Sublustrum" ("Outcry") filled with the spirit of decadence, steampunk and somber surrealism, spring 2010 saw the release of a new psychological quest - "Phobos 1953". The action takes place in March 1953 in an abandoned Soviet bunker - a place of strange experiments on the human psyche. The game explores such themes as the limits of mental possibilities, the electronic voice phenomenon, experiments with thought-transference and impact of fear on the human organism.
The game soundtrack, presented on this CD, embodies the project's concept in sound. Imbued with an industrial atmosphere, leisurely soundscapes turn into states of calm estrangement and isolationism. Excursions into the unknown corners of the consciousness bring to its surface old memories and long forgotten yet vaguely familiar images... and laboratorial claustrophobia grows into light melancholia. This musical picture is performed in the trademark style of Anthesteria combining abstract dark ambient, melodic neoclassical and experimental sonic artifacts."

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.

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."
