Zoät·Aon - Star Autopsy (Aural Hypnox)
With a handful of releases, Aural Hypnox have established themselves as a source for high-quality innovative output in the saturated field of dark ambient, and these releases aren't shy when it comes to moving into new territories.
Zoät-Aon's debut release confirms this with a rich and dynamic sound that could be better described as field recordings on alien planets. Floating above the stratosphere at times, zooming in on the growling fauna roaming the surface at others, the 9 tracks here have an organic, living quality to them that warrants repeated listening sessions for amateur exobiologists of the mind.

Aeoga - Zenith Beyond The Helix-Locus (Aural Hypnox)
Aeoga's 2nd album, providing you with a new collection of elemental ambient, aural hallucinations and luminous currents. Sometimes overwhelming by its sheer amount of flowing amorphous energy, but always of the caliber now associated with Aural Hypnox's productions.
(CD, oversized 7" gatefold cover, $13.00)

Arktau Eos - Mirrorion (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "Presented in seventeen chapters that can be approached as singular gateways or a slowly unfolding journey of epic proportions, the debut album of ARKTAU EOS is a challenging, complex work. Born of intense private musico-magical sessions held in places abandoned by man and further refined in the temple-laboratory of the duo, it is the distillation of seven arduous months of work. [...]
For this recording ARKTAU EOS have favoured an organic approach with majority of instrumentation being of acoustic variety, including the unearthly choral of the kanglings, piercings blasts of windbones, accelerating steel-plate rolls, singing bowl and various kinds of stringed instruments."

Zoät·Aon - The Triplex Bestial (Aural Hypnox)
While tempted to reuse the press release, the Triplex Bestial is of such ferocious and arcane beauty that it deserves at the very least a write-up of its own. Zoät·Aon's first album brought out the cries of alien landscapes, but this one evokes an alchemy of earthly and cosmic origins, with familiar sounds punctuated by unnameable howls. The entire album radiates the primal energy of starlit rituals, ancestral forces and fear-stricken animals. It's going to be hard to out-do this.

Aural Holograms - Vol. I (Aural Hypnox)
Label info: "The very first part of the Aural Holograms series incorporates various call and response patterns manifesting vibrating, subtle energies, all of which have been accurately divided into separate rhythmic dimensions and time-shifting aural tapestries.
The overall experience - i.e. the ecstatic effect - is transmitted by the intensity of syncopated rhythms, reed organ lingering on a few tones, self-transforming vocal work accompanied with carefully chosen oscillating tunes and a variety of percussive patterns utilising artefacts crafted according to the methods of traditional metallurgia, as well as real-time tape operations."

Halo Manash - Language of Red Goats (Aural Hypnox)
New 2008 release from Aural Hypnox's spearhead project. "Language of Red Goats" sets aside the intricate textures of previous releases for a stripped-down and primal approach, relying mostly on reverberating gongs, bells and various acoustic sounds to form the backbone of this album. In lesser hands, this could be a recipe for dull listening, but the 3 long flowing tracks presented here make for an absorbing session of ritualistic music done right.

Kruzenshtern & Parohod - Songs (Auris Media)
Second release from this band fronted by Igor Krutogolov, known for his many collaborations and solo projects in the Israeli experimental scene. This is energetic, rich and playful music that combines elements of Klezmer, Jazz, experimental (lots of toy noises) and even hardcore. The colorful and refined artwork perfectly suits the music.

Igor Krutogolov - Wardrobe (Auris Media)
If you've heard Igor Krutogolov's solo track on the "Tel Aviv Aftermath" compilation, you might be somewhat prepared to hear what this release has to offer: a strange soundtrack to an unpublished film by Yamamoto Hiromi & Takayuki Iwasawa. This is challenging yet rewarding avant-garde material without the academic posturing. A crystal-clear recording of murmured voices, bizarre vocals, acoustic guitars, bells, creaking doors, cello and who knows what else.

Kruzenshtern & Parohod - The Craft of Primitive Klezmer (Auris Media)
First release from this highly eclectic Israeli band that deliver a joyful combination of Jazz, Klezmer, Hardcore and cartoon sound effects. Somewhere between Zorn and Bugs Bunny at times, and solid material throughout the album.

Igor Krutogolov's Karate Band - Children 4 Muzik (Auris Media)
New band that brings together 11 musicians (including the whole Kruzenshtern & Parohod roster) and an arsenal of toys as the sole instruments, resulting in some beautifully noisy and playful racket. From tango to black metal (that track alone is worth the admission price), the variety of styles covered in the 7 tracks is even more impressive considering the nature of the instruments, and the skilled musicianship pushes this beyond mere gimmickry. Excellent stuff. The CD contains two videos and photos from live performances at the Green Raccoon in Tel-Aviv.
