Dvar - Rakhilim (Monopoly)
A personal favorite and definitely an acquired taste, Dvar is a mysterious Russian band that makes music ideally suited for drunken gnomes and overworked elves, complete with otherworldly vocals and cartoonish melodies. Hysterically joyful at times, desperately melancholic at others, Dvar is always completely off the charts in the best way possible and this is definitely one of their highest points so far.
(CD, clear jewel case, out of stock)
Dvar - Jraah Mraah (Gravitator Records)
The mysterious creatures of Dvar are back with a whole new repertoire of otherworldly songs and playful little ditties. Thankfully not much has changed since the last time, and "Jraah Mraah" has the same hobgoblin-like vocals and impish melodies that make every one of their albums a fairy tale for the ears, keeping with the oral tradition that is essential to the genre. There's one key difference though: the tale is no longer being told from the point of view of an omniscient narrator in your language, but directly by the gnomes, trolls and pixies themselves in theirs. Wonderfully enchanting as always.

End - The Sounds of Disaster (Solnze Records)
CD rerelease of the album with 3 extra remixes by Messer Chups. The soundtrack to a spy movie set during the apocalypse. Rockabilly, surf anthems, breakcore and faux jazz are seamlessly collaged into track-sized pieces of manic glee, the sort that titles like "To Hell With Everyone" and "Good Riddance" hint at in a clear manner. No three-line blurb can do justice to this release.
(CD, jewel case, out of stock)
Endura - Black Eden (Red Stream)
Re-release of their 1995 album. Occult summonings and ritual processions for an inverted Eden. From mournful black ambient to more bombastic declamations of heresy.

Ennio Morricone - Chi L'ha Vista Morire? (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "One of Ennio Morricone's long overlooked masterworks, the collection of eerie, dissonant choral pieces and freaky takes on traditional Italian children's songs that is Chi l'ha vista morire? is as compelling on its own as it is fascinating in its interaction with the 1972 film. While at first celebrating a carefree childhood, then lamenting its helplessness and unavoidable loss, Ennio Morricone's brilliant pieces in the end move on to address darker areas of the human psyche, the hysterical chants of the choir imbuing an unnerving sense of schizophrenia in the listener. The hint of Catholic liturgy that characterizes the music is, naturally, just another poignant contribution to the mystery of Chi l'ha vista morire?, in which innocence and evil, desire and violence, all get mixed up. Restored from the original stereo master tapes and presented in 6-page digipak with original artwork, liner notes and film stills."

Erik Ursich - Electronic Diffraction Patterns (Punch Records)
Setting aside the 70's synth LP vibe of his first album for another trip back in time to the raw electronic sounds of the 50's, Erik Ursich's new exercise in style is much less musical in nature and focusses more on the sounds themselves. Sounds of vintage analog synthesizers which come across as an homage to Louis and Bebe Barron's ground-breaking soundtrack to "Forbidden Planet", with melody and rhythm shunned in favor of texture, timbre and atonality over the course of this album's 5 long tracks. Highly recommended to those into early synth experimentation and bleeps and bloops. The CD includes a video which can be viewed on PCs.
(CD, clear jewel case, to be restocked soon)
False Mirror - North (Thonar Records)
Second full-length album from this German ambient project. Taking the Arctic as its environmental setting, "North" is a combination of field recordings from the North Atlantic ocean and wind storms, icy textures and deep polar pulses, not unlike Closing the Eternity's "Arctica" or Sleep Research Facility's "Deep Frieze". The suitably appropriate cover was painted by Sylvia Riester and was inspired by the fjords of Norway.

Flatline Skyline - Horizon Grid [mn026] (Mechanoise Labs)
The debut album from two young prolific musicians that meshes elements of IDM, noise, trip-hop and lush melodic electronics into a personal and inspiring piece of work. The best of genre-hopping experimentation with inspired lyrics and strong vocal performance.
(CD, digisleeve with 3-panel booklet, 400 copies, 11.00 €)

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."

Franco Micalizzi - Adolescenza Perversa (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "World premiere release of this fantastic soundtrack to the obscure erotic drama from 1974, starring Femi Benussi, Malisa Longo and Dagmar Lassander. Franco Micalizzi delivers a number of beautiful and catchy themes which can easily compete with Ennio Morricone's best moments, and together with Edda Dell'Orso's occasional wordless vocals it's a winning combination. Presented in a 4-page digipak with original artwork and liner notes by John Mansell."
