h.h.t.p. & portablepalace - Cavitation (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments."

Frank Rothkamm - Moers Works (1982 - 1984) (Monochrome Vision)
Old-school industrial experimentations recorded between 1982 and 1984 by Frank Rothkamm, a professionally trained musician who used to release his material on his own Flux Records label.
Somewhere between tape collage, free-form ambient noise and chamber music, at times reminiscent of some instrumental Maria Zerfall tracks.

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.

Spark - The Robotic Girl Next Door (n5md)
Cute little release with crisp 8-bit melodies and bit-quantized drum patterns. Arguably not the most original recipe out there, but nicely done with enough hooks to keep you tuned in.

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.

STROM.ec - Manual of Diagnosis (Neuroscan.org)
Label info: "Listen to the sounds of torment from a lobotomised nervous system and spasms of hallucinatory madness. STROM.ec is back with a painful pure industrial experience from rhythmless, smoking, burning, nauseating ambiances to vibrant cosmic pulsations which either unite with God or the worst nightmare of schizophrenia. Never afraid to take one progressive step further, STROM.ec has progressed from power electronics to a para-psychological frenzy of influences and alternate states of mind that border on the clinically deranged. Definitely not easy-listening music but the added depth of production and audio technology is sure to tune your subconscious to become one with STROM.ec's extreme, damned and perverted sensory suggestion. "The Manual Diagnosis" is conceived as a concept album on surgical lobotomy."
