A Crown Of Amaranth - Manuscript / Winterupt (Audio Savant)
First full-length from this American experimental noise / ambient project whose upcoming third album will be out soon on Eibon Records. Just as eclectic as "Love Lies Bleeding", you'll hear blasts of jet engine noise, farmyard field recordings (yes, that's a pig all right), warbling drones, solemn piano pieces, howling sirens and who knows what else over the course of this record.

Ad Lux Tenebrae - Зов Предков (Vegvisir)
First revealed with an impressive CDR on Abgurd back in 2006 which was followed by a collaboration CD with fellow Russians Closing The Eternity, Ad Lux Tenebrae returns with this album that captures two long ritual sessions performed in 2004 and 2008. The flowing drones and hand-drumming are layered with the distant howls of flutes, horns and ghostly voices, conjuring the sort of atavistic incantations you'd find on Aural Hypnox and Vetvei releases. To paraphrase a part of the label's press release in Russian, this is music that is not "disfigured by the influence of civilization".

Cisfinitum - Coniunctio (Ewers Tonkunst)
2CD set that brings together remastered material from the hard-to-find "Landschaft" CDR (including the tragically beautiful "District Delta") and "Malgyl", which was only distributed in mp3 format through the Entity net label. The tracks range from mournful synthesizer dirges to low-end heavy mechanical drones, all with that particular Cisfinitum touch and craftsmanship. This is the re-release of the set with new artwork.

Cisfinitum & The [Law-Rah] Collective - [ANS]werk (Fario)
Label info: "Russian one-man outfit Cisfinitum and Dutch duo The [Law-Rah] Collective are both dark ambient masters. They dedicated this split and common work to one of the very first synthesizers in the world, the ANS.
The ANS, created by Russian engineer E. Murzin from 1937 to 1957, is an incredible response to the synesthesia theories (the letters ANS stand for Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin who linked tones to colours). The ANS synthesizer (only one copy exists and is kept in Moscow) generates special frequencies from drawings ("it plays what you have drawn") and in the opposite it can also create a visible image of a sound frequency. Artists such as Coil, Edward Artemiev (for Tarkovsky's Solaris soundtrack) and Alfred Schnittke used the ANS in their compositions.
For this album, The [Law-Rah] Collective and Cisfinitum based their music on original sounds from the ANS as well as additional recordings of various analog synths, fractal and granular synthesis, voice, violin, field recordings."
Note: the 23-min track by Cisfinitum is an amazing composition of shimmering drones and ghostly melodies that is not be missed.

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."
(pro-printed CD-R in oversized color sleeve, out of stock)
Forma4 - Cycle (DTA Records)
2002 release on the now defunct DTA Records label. Forma4 is Vladimir Dronov, and "Cycle" combines uneasy atmospheres, drowsy drones and subtle rhythm programming to create something not too dissimilar from some early Reutoff material.
