Cisfinitum - Bezdna (Monochrome Vision)
New album from this Moscow-based project known for previous releases on Waystyx and Drone Records. Using a wide array of analog soviet synthesizers (ANS, Polyvox, Yunost-21, Formanta to name a few) and acoustic instruments such as the violin, the accordion and the piano, Evgeny Voronovsky composes melodic electro-acoustic music which creates an emotional link with the listener instead of dwelling in self-indulgence. Definitely headphones material.

Haus Arafna - Butterfly (Galakthorrö)
Long awaited third release from this cult project. Less confrontational and aggressive than "Children of God" but their most personal and emotional work so far. Strongly recommended.

Haus Arafna - Blut (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "Beloved for its rugged charm and its extraordinary harshness, the first Haus Arafna album has been an industrial classic for some considerable time. Since 1995 the original limited edition could only be obtained at horrendous collectors' prices, and ran the risk like many other Galakthorrö presentations of falling foul of the Bootleggers (Help! The Russians are coming!) and now in 2006 it has finally been re-issued, digitally re-mastered with three brilliant extra bonus tracks. The new edition is rounded off visually by a 24 page booklet containing numerous black and white photoplates illustrating the bloody subject matter."

Karl Runau - Beyond Frequencies (Galakthorrö)
In the Galakthorrö family, Karl Runau could fit the role of the silent professor with a compulsive obsession for minimal analog electro. This album was recorded between 1994 - 1998, and tracks vary from punchy beatbox pieces to brooding synth noodlings, all with that certain Galakthorrö touch.

Kryptogen Rundfunk & Hladna - Rokton & Formanta (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "Hladna and Kryptogen Rundfunk - behind these names stand two St. Petersburg-based musicians playing experimental noise music. They both nourish a tender passion for old electronic instruments and often use them at their concerts and on recordings. One warm sunny day they gathered and decided to play on two analogue rhythm synthesizers "Rokton" and "Formanta". These are actually two identical instruments which were produced in the Soviet Union by two different factories. Each of them is the "brain" for electronic drum-kit, but can also be used separately - as a multi-channel tone-noise-generator or rhytm-machine.
Kryptogen Rundfunk used his device smoothly, evenly and calmly while Hladna expelled from his more sharp and unpredictable sounds. Worth mentioning are Hladna's non-standard ways of making sound - on the last two tracks he opened the back plate of his synth and played not only using knobs but also getting inside and abridging contacts with his own hands (for which he was incidentally struck by the current a couple of times).
Live recording without any processing, with all it's natural crackles and tasty overloads. Abstract electronics, minimalism and a little noise."

Mux - The Second Confession (R.A.I.G.)
Another great discovery from the St Petersburg scene. Using analogue synthesizers, assorted instruments and digital processing, this duo churns out sludgy, rhythmic tracks with scraping sounds and rusty textures that wouldn't sound out of place on a Mental Destruction album. Add in some fragile melodic squalls and a strong sense of pacing, and you've got a release that definitely deserves attention.

PPF / I-C-K - Individualistes / Collectivistes (Steelwork Maschine)
Collaboration release between these two french projects, resulting in a 12" of old-school industrial with shuffling drum machine beats, buzzing analog synthesizers and heavily processed vocals. Side A features two tracks from PPF and four from I-C-K, while side B showcases the collaborative tracks between the two projects.

Subliminal - Gracebudd (Galakthorrö)
Ridiculously overlooked project that perfectly matches the label's roster while adding its own distinct characteristics to it. Gracebudd is the sound of muffled cries, gasps for air, tape hiss and distant screams overlayed with undulating low-frequency pulses. The result has a deranged autistic appeal to it.
