Various Artists - Your Daily Buzz (Tripmeke)
Noise, noise and more noise. 9 tracks compiled by Sweden's Tripmeke Records. Established noisicians Lasse Marhaug and K2 each contribute lengthy outbursts of controlled chaos, while the remaining pieces (varying from water-soaked field recordings to semi-ambient interludes) are provided by MSBR and Cartesian Faith. A lot more varied and structured than this description suggests.

Geomatic - Control Agents (Triumvirate)
Underrated release that demonstrates skillful musical construction, mostly in the shape of subtle rhythms and mood-setting melodic passages.

Citadel - Granite Sky (Triumvirate)
Final release on Triumvirate, featuring the new incarnation of Mitchell Altum's sonic endeavors. Picking up where Law left and moving on to a new domain, Granite Sky is a solemn and imposing record but with a more distant, detached mood than its predecessor. Mandatory listening for those that know their salt.

Vetrophonia - Promzona (Ultra)
Second CD release from this collaborative project between the Russian activists responsible for ZGA and Linija Mass / Stalnoy Pakt. While somewhat more accessible than "Simultannostb", Promzona carries over much of the same elements but in a more refined form, resulting in what is possibly their best release yet. Oxygen-starved symphonic loops, field recordings, didgeridoos and metallic clangs form a soundtrack to a desolate world of slowly sinking tugboats and aborted construction sites.

Nick Soudnick - Akhe Music Vol. 5 Faust ³ (Ultra)
Produced as the soundtrack for the theatre performance of "Faust³" by Akhe, this work by Nick Soundnick seems him welding the industrial clamor of Vetrophonia to avant-garde classical music. Actual string and bass instruments are accompanied by metallic percussion and discreet electronic effects for a majestic result with a masterful sense of tension and release, with tracks ranging from high-cadence orchestrations to more restrained and atmospheric passages. Leagues above whatever similar attempts at this exercise have been made in the industrial scene.
(CD, multi-paneled sleeve with extensive booklet in Russian and English, $17.50)

Shift - Unable To Abide The Silence Of The World (Unrest Productions)
First self-released CD album from this UK power electronics unit, partly inspired by Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian". Rumbling, sizzling noise loops with loud bass and buried, barely audible vocals, somewhat reminiscent of DVT at times.
(CD, jewel case in slipcase, $16.00, last copy)

Dissecting Table - Dead Zone (UPD)
4th CD release on Dissecting Table's home label, proving ample demonstration of this project's ability to construct morbid ambiant combined with strong percussive parts.
(CD, out of stock)
