Drape Excrement / Söldnergeist - Black Rider (Steinklang)
Finally some new (or rather unpublished until now) material from Art Konkret residents Drape Excrement and Söldnergeist. This collaboration album seems to put the emphasis on the first project's dynamic type of death industrial, but with an added heavy electronics touch by Söldnergeist. Heads above most of their peers. Artwork by Fabrice Billard, who heads the Divine Comedy label.

Rasthof Dachau - Prison Poems (Steinklang)
Label info: "7 years went by since the last album from this Austrian Cold-Electronic project was released. "Prison Poems" is a conceptual work about the Irish civil-rights movement in the 70ies of the last century. the album deals about the fate of a handful young IRA volunteers, imprisoned for political affairs, but then simply sentenced as criminals. after a long hunger strike, the young men died, forgotten from the rest of the world. most song texts on this album were written by one of these young men who died from hunger. he wrote these poems on toilet and cigarette paper with the refill of a biro-pen, hidden inside his body in the years before he died. the sound on this album varies from dark and cold songs à la Galakthorroe to early SPK-like Heavy-Electronic tracks. all with hard or subliminal rhythms and psychic analogue frequencies."

Vetrophonia - Shumographika (Strange Sounds Records)
New 2005 album from the duo of St. Petersburg veterans Nick Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt). As with their most recent releases, the material is carefully constructed from a wide range of noises and sounds, ranging from the familiar (bells, dog barks, metal sheets, drum rolls, old vinyls) to the unnameable. More serene and intimate than the epic "Promzona", "Shumographika" is Futurist poetry at its best. Russian import.

Propergol - GPWS (Stridulum / Annihilvs)
Propergol's latest full-length goes further into the cinematic and sample-heavy dark ambient side of the project previously hinted at by the Sea Green Series CD-Rs and the Watchmen 3". Inspired by and entirely focussed on the subject of airplane disasters, GPWS is quite likely Propergol's strongest effort so far. Fasten your seatbelts, we're in for a rough landing.

Militia - Everything is One (Tactical Recordings)
2005 release from this eco-anarchist percussive unit, released 5 years after "The Black Flag Hoisted". This time round the tracks include an arsenal of instruments aside from the signature percussions, namely violins, accordions, horns and clarinets played by guest musicians. These additions and the "full" production make for somewhat denser arrangements than what Militia is known for, but it's all good and brings to mind "Pax Britannica"-era Test Dept. Not to be missed.

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.

Dahlia's Tear - Under Seven Skies (Thonar Records)
Third album from this Sweden-based dark ambient act which has apparently taken a turn for more melodic compositions on this release. Somewhere between CMI-style neo-classical and ambient electronica.

Various Artists - Tel Aviv Aftermath (Topheth Prophet)
Highly eclectic compilation from Israel that ranges from the throbbing power electronics (and personal favorite) of New Jerusalem Defense Forces to the manic and disturbingly beautiful folk music of Agnivolok. Other notable participants include Chaos as Shelter, Igor18, Screening, VectorScope, Grundik - Slava and Forma.

Bastard Noise / Igor Krutogolov / Chaos as Shelter - The Geometry of Soul (Topheth Prophet)
An unusual lesson in spiritual mathematics, bringing together the particularities of all three projects in a demanding yet rewarding experience of ritualistic music. Repeated mantras, robotic drones, resonating bells and blasts of controlled noise are used skillfully throughout the 5 tracks of this release.
(CD in cardboard sleeve, out of stock)
