Dissecting Table - Zettaizetsumei (UPD)
Fourth DT release of 2005 so far. No guitars and very little drums on this one, but 4 long tracks of evolving glitchy electronics with autistic rhythms, some shouted vocals and violent spasms of digital noise. At times it sounds like DT channeled through a ZX Spectrum. Strange stuff indeed.
On a side note, Malignant Records better not rip off this description for their own catalog like they did with the last DT. Write your own, people.

Dissecting Table - Day of Nemesis (UPD)
The first DT release of 2006 sees the heavy electronic noise of his recent CD-Rs colliding with the visceral vocal stylings and manic rhythms of past albums, at least as far as the memorable first track is concerned. The others are relentess and caustic noise pieces that'll give your ears a thorough frequency workout to the point of exhaustion.
(CD-R, jewel case, out of stock)
Dissecting Table - Supernatural Power (UPD)
Yet another Dissecting Table CD-R, this time with the recent tendency for violent digital noise mixed up with orchestral sounds. The first track combines growling, deep piano notes, dissonant strings and heavy metallic clanging to a disturbing effect.
(printed CD-R in oversized sleeve, $13.00, last copy)

Dissecting Table - Voice Performance (Witch House Records)
Re-release of an older album which featured three live tracks from a 2006 performance. These live pieces are massive walls of noise with metallic and vocal sounds drowned somewhere in the mix. The three other tracks are studio recordings and one of them is exclusive to this edition. Nicely presented in a red (or black) cloth case.
(CD-R, cardboard sleeve in a cloth case, $11.00, last copy)

Dronaement - Fuer Mur (Taalem)
Label info: "Dronæment should need no introduction as he has now gained a strong reputation in the ambient world thanks to some releases on various labels like Drone Records, Dachstuhl (Tarkatak's home), Afe or Mystery Sea (yes, again !). Marcus presents here two melancholic and nostalgic tracks, the first with softer sounds, based on the wonderful "Für Alina" by Arvo Pärt, the second (an older piece found on a long-lost tape) with some more aggressive sounds, full of analog synths. Two sides of Dronæment's beautiful music…"

Encomiast - Havens (Crucial Bliss)
Label info: "This disc contains three exquisite new driftworks from ENCOMIAST, entitled Havens. Formed from vaporous clouds of guitar, gamelan, shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute), violin, vina, voice, flute, and field recordings, Ross Hagen and Megan Garland have stretched these sounds into infinite ribbons of metallic shimmer, twisting and swirling into gorgeous hum. The three tracks on this disc are extended works that range from eleven to twenty-five minutes in length, and drifts within the angelic regions between Andrew Chalk's minimalist explorations, the dream music of Troum (and their predecessor, Maeror Tri), and the bleary melodic smear of My Bloody Valentine. Havens distills the bliss of deep dreams and early morning haze into captured hymns, and is one of ENCOMIAST's finest drone offerings to date."

Erthad - Gma (Zhelezobeton)
Active since the late 90's but without any official releases until now, Erthad's first output on physical format is the sort of obscure discovery from the Russian scene that makes Zhelezobeton a reliable source for new releases that go beyond what's already established or tamed by familiarity. Recorded in 2002 using processed voices and software synthesizers, "Gma" compiles 6 tracks of serene yet expansive robotic meditations, at times approaching some form of mantras for nano-technological organisms. Soothing but not ambient in nature, the closest comparison I can think of would be another Zhelezobeton act (Degeneral) crossed over with Sshe Retina Stimulants, but that's still not close enough to what can be found here.

Fulci - Dead Lights Red Sky (Crucial Bliss)
Label info: "The first recorded offering from twilight-psyche dronerock duo FULCI. Deep, rumbling, and eternal speaker-buzz worship, wrapped around lumbering riffs drunk on cough syrup and shimmering distortion overload. Howling feedback mantras repeated ad infinitum. Major key rustic lullabies are reduced to primal string scraping drones that climb over mountains of echoing hum. Intensely melodic and repetitious, like SKULLFLOWER covering EARTH's 2 in an old, empty farmhouse. FULCI is Eric Crowe (formerly of Social Infestation, currently of Marax) and Adam Wright. [...]"

Funkstillesender / Komatöserzustand - Dno (Beta-Sendung)
Comatose ambient made from layers of radio noise and static by these two obscure Russian projects. The presentation is cheap (don't expect anything beyond a photocopied sheet and a white CD-R in a slim case), but it somehow fits the rough lo-fi nature of the sounds to be found here.
