Contagious Orgasm / Government Alpha - Heartstrings (SSSM)
Third recent collaboration release on Contagious Orgasm's home label, this time with Yasutoshi Yoshida of Government Alpha who's been responsible for the great collage artwork on all these CDs. Over these 12 tracks, Government Alpha's screeching blasts of white-hot electronic noise are cut-up and mixed in with Contagious Orgasm's industrial rhythms, off-beat collages and found sounds. Surreal, unusual and highly listenable.

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."

Contrastate - Todesmelodie (Noise Museum)
Sixth and final studio album by this sadly defunct UK duo. Inspired by the book "The Mysteries of Algiers" written by Robert Irwin and the 1965 film "The Battle of Algiers", "Todesmelodie" presents itself as a rumination on revolution and political strife in the shape of 4 long montages of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, found sounds and harmonic drones that culminate with "The Suitcase or the Coffin", named so after one of the slogans of the Algerian nationalists during the drive for independence. Haunting, desolate and demanding, this album initially provoked an unexpected sense of anxiety when I first heard it many years ago, enough in fact that it wasn't until I had later become accustomed to Contrastate's other works that I came to appreciate it for its uneasy nature.

End - The Sounds of Disaster (Solnze Records)
CD re-release of the album with 3 extra remixes by Messer Chups. The soundtrack to a spy movie set during the apocalypse. Rockabilly, surf anthems, breakcore and faux jazz are seamlessly collaged into track-sized pieces of manic glee, the sort that titles like "To Hell With Everyone" and "Good Riddance" hint at in a clear manner. No three-line blurb can do justice to this release.
(CD, jewel case, out of stock)
Hollydrift - Waiting For The Tiller (Parasomnic Records)
Hollydrift is Wisconsin-based Mathias Anderson's experimental sound project. "Waiting for the Tiller" is his first proper CD release if I'm not mistaken, and it's a finely crafted piece of work with a high level of attention paid to detail. The ten tracks here often work as collage pieces, with field recordings of all sorts (number stations, answering machine messages, nonsensical vocal snippets) mingling with radiant droning loops and sedated noise outbursts.

Horologium - Le Cartoline Perse (By Blade Records)
A collection of some rare and unreleased tracks by this Polish project. Most of it is mid-paced loop-based material with an occasional orchestral touch, some of it mixes it up with more pronounced rhythms (is that beat lifted from a George Harrison song?). On a side-note, neither the random postcards on the cover nor the tracks evoke anything remotely Persian, so you'll have to figure that out on your own.

Le Vieux Thorax / Giscard le Survivant - self-titled (Ragondins Mondains)
Split release featuring 6 tracks from each project. Surf punk, TV jingles from the 70's, psychedelic electronics, cut-ups and collages are some of the ingredients in this genre-defying sampling fest. Think Mr Bungle meets Nurse With Wound in a bistro, and you're halfway there.
