Contrastate - Handbags & Dada (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "The now defunct influential UK project played only a few live shows during their existence, but they put a lot of effort into making them something out of the ordinary. The third installment in our Contrastate series is a live CD which covers three different phases in the band's history from 1989 to their last ever performance in 2000. Tracks previously available on vinyl and cassette as well as one world premiere recording from Camden Palace in London."

Dahlia's Tear - Under Seven Skies (Thonar Records)
Third album from this Sweden-based dark ambient act which has apparently taken a turn for more melodic compositions on this release. Somewhere between CMI-style neo-classical and ambient electronica.

Désaccord Majeur - La Neuvième Heure (Taalem)
Label info: "[...] Just like Internal Fusion, Désaccord Majeur creates long haunting ambient tracks with of course an ethnic and ritual touch... Less dark maybe, his music sometimes includes some more electronic sounds that could remind some em:t releases (Woob especially). Pure clear ritual ethno-ambient music."

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."

Erik Ursich - Kanashii - Il Piacere Della Tristezza (Punch Records)
A debut release that is sure to please those into cold minimal electronics with a melancholic touch. The LP relies heavily on vintage synthesizers, giving the whole thing a certain retro 70's synth record quality.
(Grey 12", hand-numbered and limited to 300 copies, $22.00, last copy)

Grundik and Slava - Frogs (Topheth Prophet / Auris Media)
The second part of the "Fauna" series by this project, the first of which was released by Stateart. Thematically and sonically centered around frogs and their environment, this release results from a collaboration with singer Victoria Hanna and also features contributions from Israeli artists Vadim Gusis (Chaos as Shelter) and Igor Krutogolov (Igor18). The album is a pleasant, new-age tinged stroll through the world of our croaking fellows. Co-released with Auris Media.

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Brusnika (Drone Records)
Shamanistic ethno-ambient from the ever prolific Evgueny Savenko, responsible for the various incarnations of the Lunar Abyss projects, Ritualnaya Bioingeneria, and the BioSonar label. The two tracks here gather the sound of crackling fire, warm bass drones and distant animal cries for a particularly organic type of ambient. Pick up their CD on Chimaera while you're at it.
