Bardoseneticcube - Tek-Now II (Puzzle God)
For this release, Bardoseneticcube leaves aside the industrial drones for energetic technoïd pieces and strange sampler-heavy rhythms. Includes a couple of genuine "what the hell is this?" moments. Few copies left.

Bardoseneticcube - Deadhead (Steinklang)
One of the great aspects of each new Bardoseneticcube album is that you never know what to expect in terms of style. Known mostly for its experimental ambient recordings, the project has embraced styles as diverse as electro-dub, dark ambient and of course the collaboration with saxophonist Igor V. Petrov which we released (of which a different version of one track appears here). "Deadhead" is another great surprise from Bardoseneticcube and sees the project putting together monumental electronic tracks with neo-classical and martial industrial touches. Pick it up.

Cyclotimia - Music For Stockmarkets (Zhelezobeton)
I'll stick to the press release for this one because it perfectly captures everything that needs to be said about the CD. More relevant now than ever.
Label info: Cyclotimia is most probably the only project in the world which has chosen the creation of a soundtrack to "globalization" and life in the "consumer society" as their concept. The project members more than anyone else are immersed into the magic of finance and their creative intuition allowed them to compose the main part of "Music for Stockmarkets" with its unforgivingly precise name "Wall Street Requiem". Today the whole civilized world is listening to this requiem, the first cords of which were played in Wall Street itself.
The "Music for Stockmarkets" album with its radically experimental nature stands out in the extensive discography of this Moscow project. The 64-minute album includes 32 tracks divided into three conceptual parts: "Wallstreet Requiem" (25 minutes, recorded in 2004-2007), "Trivial Pleasures" (26 minutes, recorded in 2002, this part was the only one released as a separate CD in 2003) and "Financial Glossary" (13 minutes, recorded in 2003).
The material itself is nothing like the one heard in the previous records of Cyclotimia. There are no apocalyptic soundscapes of "Wasteland" times, no cybernetic hi-tech and media madness of "E$chaton", no cosmic downtempo of "Celestis: Space Ceremonial Music"... Minimalism, academic sterility, surgical accuracy and meditative ataraxia prevail on "Music for Stockmarkets". Then again it is not the familiar "IDM", "glitch", "noise", "clicks and cuts" and not "minimal techno"... The sound of the album is crystal-clear and warm at the same time. "Vintage" lovers have a wonderful chance to listen to the masterpieces of Soviet music production (such as Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, Aelita, Formanta UDS, Formanta EMS-01, Polyvox) in pure sound, unprocessed by effects.

Cyclotimia - TimeBank (Zhelezobeton)
"Timebank" gathers assorted unreleased material recorded between 2003-2007 that went unused on the albums recorded during that period. Far from being leftovers, these 16 tracks cover a wide spectrum of styles that expand beyond the duo's signature blend of technological ambient, from the dystopian elevator jazz of "Bank Lounge 1" to the cinematic electro of "Nocturne". New age music for the stock market imperium, and dedicated to the unseen victims of economic crisis.

Cyclotimia - Styx (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "Zhelezobeton in cooperation with the Voronezh label Shadowplay and the Moscow label Monopoly Records presents the new 7th full-length album from the masters of "stock market industrial". "Styx" is the most mainstream-oriented work in the Cyclotimia discography. The music here is free of experimental and academic explorations traditional for the band; here the emphasis is made on the rhythmical component. Inexorable like an economic recession and steadfast like a financial indicator chart, eleven compositions depict the sickly technological reality of the planet wrapped by networks of global capital, media glamour and ideological obsessions.

Recommended to fans of Skinny Puppy, Clock DVA, Laibach (of the "Das Kapital" period), Front Line Assembly.".

Cyclotimia - Sci-Fi Music (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "As the title suggests, the new work by Russian masters of electronic soundscapes represents a score to an imaginary sci-fi movie. The musicians call themselves admirers of old-school Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk genres, and for a long time they have felt a desire to make some music inspired by soundtracks of sci-fi blockbusters from 70-80s... Spaceship battles, alien colonies, teleportation and mysterious droid ceremonies are only part of the images created by this music. The album contains both dynamic rhythmic "hits" and disturbing space ambient as well as avant-garde neoclassic pieces."
(CD, jewel case, to be restocked soon)

Herz Jühning - Faces (Galakthorrö)
Label info: "Herz Jühning is a new Galakthorrö artist. He presents driving, straight ahead electronics predominately in an Angst Pop style. His tightly constructed arrangements consist of a combination of darkness, the required sadness, plus finally the aggression that fires off in the title track. All four songs will get directly under your skin and start your pulse racing!
From every standpoint a very respectable debut and we wait in suspense for the next episode."

Kim & Buran - Kosmos For Children (Solnze Records)
Kim & Buran are strongly inspired by psychedelic Soviet cartoons from the 70's and 80's, and the CD artwork even features two of the evil robotic henchmen from "Tayna tretey planety" if I'm not mistaken (many thanks to M.M. for sharing this gem with me). Their debut release "Kosmos for Children" is a pleasant brew of retro lounge muzak, playful robo-jazz and cartoon music. It has many similarities with the above-mentioned movie's own score, including the bubbling sounds of Soviet synthesizers. Melancholic at times, upbeat at others, this debut release has definitely found its rightful home among Solnze's roster.
