Erik Ursich - Electronic Diffraction Patterns (Punch Records)
Setting aside the 70's synth LP vibe of his first album for another trip back in time to the raw electronic sounds of the 50's, Erik Ursich's new exercise in style is much less musical in nature and focuses more on the sounds themselves. Sounds of vintage analog synthesizers which come across as an homage to Louis and Bebe Barron's ground-breaking soundtrack to "Forbidden Planet", with melody and rhythm shunned in favor of texture, timbre and atonality over the course of this album's 5 long tracks. Highly recommended to those into early synth experimentation and bleeps and bloops. The CD includes a video which can be viewed on PCs.

Genetic Transmission - Ascetic (Beast of Prey)
New album from this absurdly overlooked Polish industrial pioneer, whose previous work includes many self-releases on Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk and activities in projects such as Ładne Kwiatki, Godzilla and Hated Bruit Kollectiv. "Ascetic" is just as abstract and demanding as one would expect, with its brittle electro-acoustic textures slithering and scraping through three 20-min tracks. An acquired taste for some, but those interested in Niellerade Fallibilisthorstar and modern futurism shouldn't ignore this one.

h.h.t.p. & portablepalace - Cavitation (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "The interaction between computer science technology and free-form musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it's going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instruments."

Maurizio Bianchi - The Testamentary Corridor (Silentes)
Label info: "Insubordinate discord in five tempos for monolithic keyboards and multicellular dissonances, perpetrated during the autumn of 2005. Dedicated to the lamented martyrs.
To commemorate a testamentary event the human beings expend time and care, all theirs energies, but sometimes the results are disappointing... Due to the inconvenient heritage of our rhetorical history lost in the corridor of time. (M. B. 2005)"

Miguel A. Ruiz - Grosor (Monochrome Vision)
Label info: "This is the new, remastered version of classic material recorded back in 80s, next to postindustrial aesthetics priority in electronic music. Rigorous and austere, ascetic but dynamic, this music rearranges everyday being into mind-challenging imagination, reserving the leading parts for the habitual processes and domestic objects.
From the deep underground of Spanish industrial music, it comes to be rediscovered after 15 years."

Skincage - Things Fall Apart (Spectre)
"Things Fall Apart" is the much awaited second CD by Jon Ray's Skincage, almost seven years after his highly impressive debut album, "Axon". Mainly created using an array of self-made and broken instruments, circuit-bent electronics and concrete sounds, the album does come across as much more somber than its predecessor, while thankfully letting that certain luminous touch still gleam through the haze. Along with Hollydrift and Brutum Fulmen, Skincage is part of those relatively rare craftsmen capable of truly bringing out the extraordinary from the mundane, of making objects "sing" if you will. A rewarding experience in isolationist sound.

The Missing Ensemble - Hidden Doors (Mondes Elliptiques / Angle Records)
Label info: "[...] John Sellekaers (Xingu Hill, Dead Hollywood Stars), Daniel De Los Santos (Tamarin) and Mathias Delplanque (Lena, Bidlo) open us the door to a universe whose maze conceals a multitude of other doors. Some are half-open, others are closed and many are, at first sight, invisible. As we explore further, we must let those secret doors some time to take shape, to reveal themselves... and it will then be possible to fix our attention on various aspects of the sound labyrinth that is presented to us, to come and go while letting ourselves be carried by the waves and the modulations, which then become our exploratory vehicle and form one body with us in the journey. Indeed, many doors are hidden, but they are awaiting to be discovered, probed... Behind them, fullness or emptiness..."
