Cloama & Die Blutleuchte - Cloama & Die Blutleuchte (Anima Arctica)
CD reprint of the 2005 collaboration CD-R originally released by New Old Sentinel. If the psychedelic industrial / baroque experimental nature of their other release together ("From Wasteland Mausoleums") caught your attention, you will not want to miss this. Incantations for the twilight hours. Yog-Sothoth is the key.

Ultra Milkmaids - Pop Pressing (Ant-Zen)
The latest release from the Milkmaids incorporates disembodied instruments, fragmented guitar melodies and their typical warm and lush sound. What sets Pop Pressing aside from many of their releases is its ability to keep you on your toes, interrupting a piece just as it was picking up and moving in an entirely different direction.

Bardoseneticcube - XXX (Aquarellist)
Zhelezobeton info: "New Bardoseneticcube album is inspired by life and works of Nika Turbina - a poetess who started to write grown-up tragic poems when she was only 4 years old. [...] After living pathologically strange life, receiving the most prestigious poetic prize "Golden Lion", and being held in mental hospital, at the age of 27 Nika tragically died falling down from the 5th floor window. The musical dedication of Bardoseneticcube is presented in 12 untitled tracks filled with surrealistic feelings and some childish morbidity. Obscure loops and industrial soundscapes are buried under a pile of rhyme wreckage, melody fragments and almost chaotic manifold of strange sounds."

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Tuntury (Aquarellist)
New 2009 release from St Petersburg's finest purveyor of shamanistic ambient. Psychedelic drones, rustling bells and clear melodic tones are overlaid over natural field recordings of rain, crackling fire and bird calls, but the more animated pace of these 6 tracks makes for an active hallucinatory listening experience rather than a strictly laid-back "ambient" affair.
For this release, Evgeny Savenko was joined by M.M. of Zhelezobeton / Kryptogen Rundfunk on processed guitars, synths and tapes.

Hilter - Sexfilms (Ars Benevola Mater)
With titles such as "Sushi Slut Sisters" and "Analdildo", you'd expect some sort of OTT power electronics, but "Sexfilms" is all about crude bass drones, cut-up VHS porn samples (complete with tape hiss) and occasional outbursts of noise.
(CD, oversized cardboard sleeve, $10.00, on sale)

Matt Howden - Voyager (Ars Benevola Mater)
Label info: "Twenty-one neo-classical tracks that follow the progress of the Voyager space probe from Jupiter, past Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and out to The Heliopause, the outermost reaches of the Sun’s rays. As the album progresses out through the Solar System, the time signatures, keys, and conventional sounds and phrases mutate - the music becomes wilder and manipulations of conventional sounds, and time elements become more pronounced. The last track, The Heliopause, brings together all the elements of the album in a seventeen minute finale, capturing the relentless journey of Voyager heading out of our Solar System."

Job Karma - Strike (Ars Benevola Mater)
Sometimes when doing trades, you end up regretting not having taken more copies of a certain release which turns out to be a great pick. This is one of those cases. Job Karma is a Polish duo with a number of releases on Amplexus and ABM under their belt, and "Strike" is their 4th CD so far. Its mix of loop-based industrial, ritualistic ambient and analog synthesizers is impressive and highly enjoyable, and the closest reference I can think of is Internal Fusion but with a much stronger technological sound. The album also includes a great cover of Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity".

Oxyd meets Sumad - Mysterious Places Of Dead Souls (Ars Benevola Mater)
Ethereal ambient from Slovakia with a somewhat baroque touch to it. Spacious drones are layered with melodic instrumentation and sparse processed vocal samples. Somewhere between Bisclaveret, Tabor Radosti and some CMI acts.

Job Karma - Tschernobyl (Ars Benevola Mater)
This 2007 release from Poland's Job Karma is a concept album based around the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and its aftermath. Melancholic synth melodies, minimal rhythmic patterns and layered voice samples are used in the same carefully constructed manner as on 2005's "Strike", and this is definitely a commendable and consistent follow-up to it (barring the somehow off-topic "Man in my Room" with its ridiculous sample from "Saw").
