Bad Sector - CMASA (Power & Steel)
New 2009 album that reworks material originally composed in 2005 for the M3M art exhibition in Pisa, Italy. The exhibition in question being based around images of the seaside and rivers of the Pisana area and the CMASA airplane factory located there, those themes carry over into the compositions through subtle sounds of the seashore, rushing water and sparse metal clanging.
With that context in mind, this is some of Massimo Magrini's most emotional work as his unique digital textures take a particularly melodic character here, which is further reinforced by the beautifully lush synth pads. Vital in every sense of the word.

Land:Fire - Shortwave Transmission (Power & Steel)
Follow-up album to 2004's "Physical : Mental : Psychological" released on Tesco Organisation, this new album from Herbst9's more technologically oriented twin project provides the perfect soundtrack to the military industrial complex with its array of menacing rhythms, electromagnetic waves, radio communications and glowing harmonic drones. Think of Bad Sector's "The Harrow" but as engineered and constructed by defense contractors. Reliably stunning work.

S.E.T.I. - Corona (Power & Steel)
Fifth album from Andrew Lagowski's deep space exploration project, S.E.T.I. Active since 1982, Lagowski has notably collaborated with Lustmord on one-off projects such as Terror Against Terror and Isolrubin BK, and his own solo work includes material released as Legion and under his own name.
Of all his albums as S.E.T.I., 1994's "Knowledge" has always been a personal top pick, and remains even today among the best sonic attempts at evoking the vastness of the cosmos (and for $4 at Soleilmoon, there is really no reason why you shouldn't pick up a copy right now). "Corona" is the rightful follow-up to it, as it reuses and improves on a lot of the same elements: deep cosmic drones, sputtering digital oscillations, NASA recordings, cut-up radio broadcasts and harmonic waves are all forged together into a richly-detailed 52-min journey to the beyond. Ad Astra!
(CD, clear jewel case, $16.50)
