Job Karma - Strike (Ars Benevola Mater)
Sometimes when doing trades, you end up regretting not having taken more copies of a certain release which turns out to be a great pick. This is one of those cases. Job Karma is a Polish duo with a number of releases on Amplexus and ABM under their belt, and "Strike" is their 4th CD so far. Its mix of loop-based industrial, ritualistic ambient and analog synthesizers is impressive and highly enjoyable, and the closest reference I can think of is Internal Fusion but with a much stronger technological sound. The album also includes a great cover of Kraftwerk's "Radioactivity".

Job Karma - Tschernobyl (Ars Benevola Mater)
This 2007 release from Poland's Job Karma is a concept album based around the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and its aftermath. Melancholic synth melodies, minimal rhythmic patterns and layered voice samples are used in the same carefully constructed manner as on 2005's "Strike", and this is definitely a commendable and consistent follow-up to it (barring the somehow off-topic "Man in my Room" with its ridiculous sample from "Saw").

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.

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Tuntury (Aquarellist)
New 2009 release from St Petersburg's finest purveyor of shamanistic ambient. Psychedelic drones, rustling bells and clear melodic tones are overlaid over natural field recordings of rain, crackling fire and bird calls, but the more animated pace of these 6 tracks makes for an active hallucinatory listening experience rather than a strictly laid-back "ambient" affair.
For this release, Evgeny Savenko was joined by M.M. of Zhelezobeton / Kryptogen Rundfunk on processed guitars, synths and tapes.

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Geologorazvedka (Biosonar Labirint)
"Geologorazvedka" finds LADO moving away from their ritual grounds and delving exclusively into analogue synthesizers. That said, this is not a sterile exercise in purity as the four tracks here intricately intertwine the layers, pulsations and clatter into a kaleidoscopic mass that grows like photoluminescent vegetation. Perfect for late-night sessions.
(CD-R, handmade color packaging, out of stock)

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Tryakusta (Vetvei)
The new album from Saint Petersburg's preeminent sorcerer is a long 42 min piece that seamlessly binds 3 live recordings into a kaleidoscopic trek through untamed forests teeming with animal life and archaic spirits. Where dark ambient projects often confine themselves to a monochromatic range, Lunar Abyss Deus Organum introduce more colors than the eyes can perceive. Recommended as always.
(CD, full-color six-panel cardboard sleeve, $15.00, last copy)

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum - Uzor (Biosonar Labirint)
The third CD release from LADO gathers compilation and EP tracks from 2002-2004 (namely the tracks featured on "Heilige Feuer III", "Thalamus II", the "Holy Mother Russia" LP on Steinklang, "Listopad Vot On" and the "Brusnika" Drone Records 7-inch).
A perfect entry point for those uninitiated to Lunar Abyss Deus Organum, and a much needed compendium of particularly strong material for those already entranced by Evgeny Savenko's works.
