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.

Label info: "The first release of a new sublabel of ZHELEZOBETON - Muzyka Voln - is a compilation of the same name, containing compositions from twelve Russian projects playing ambient / drone music.

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 lobotomized 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."

Cloama - Cloama (New Old Sentinel)
High-end abstract industrial ambient with some occasional melodic touches. This album has a strong haunting characteristic to it, as if these were plaintive cries emanating from corroded machines that should no longer be able to produce them. The extremely lush sound production deserves a mention as well, giving the record an oxygenated, organic feel that is rare for the genre.

Cloama & Blutleuchte - From Wasteland Mausoleums (New Old Sentinel)
Stunning collaboration release between those two Finnish projects. Cloama's lurch towards more experimental sounds from its power electronics / noise beginnings is further emphasized by Die Blutleuchte's contributions, and this release effortlessly shifts from post-apocalyptic mantras to doom jazz dirges, with distorted guitar melodies and bleak atmospheres thrown in between. Scrapyard shamanism at its best. On a side-note, be sure to also look into Die Blutleuchte's "Rus", a sonic overview of Russian military history.
