Aidan Baker & The Infant Cycle - Rural Sprawl (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "Canadian musicians Aidan Baker and Jim DeJong (aka The Infant Cycle) have used the "gentleman's kit" of modern experimenters for creating the compositions of this disk: guitar, bass, tapes, samples, feedback generator and thumb piano. The four album tracks correspond with the four seasons, the four states of the soul...
[...]
The first two tracks were recorded in 2001 (and released on CD-R by the Italian label Blade Records in 2002 in a very limited edition), two others were recorded in 2005 and thus completed the natural cycle of this album."
(pro-printed CD-R and cardboard sleeve, $11.00)

Bad Sector - The Harrow (Ewers Tonkunst)
Re-release of this classic Bad Sector album from 2001 in a slick digisleeve. Based on sounds emanating from a digital Geiger counter and naval, air and military radio bands fed through custom signal processing, "The Harrow" is just as impressive today as when it was initially released, with its streams of radiant signals and impulsive electronic patterns. Absolutely essential.

Bad Sector - CMASA (Power & Steel)
New 2009 album that reworks material originally composed in 2005 for the M3M art exhibition in Pisa, Italy. The exhibition in question being based around images of the seaside and rivers of the Pisana area and the CMASA airplane factory located there, those themes carry over into the compositions through subtle sounds of the seashore, rushing water and sparse metal clanging.
With that context in mind, this is some of Massimo Magrini's most emotional work as his unique digital textures take a particularly melodic character here, which is further reinforced by the beautifully lush synth pads. Vital in every sense of the word.

Bad Sector / Contagious Orgasm - Vacuum Pulse (Old Europa Cafe)
One of the most recommended collaboration records in the post-industrial field, and rightfully so. 4 tracks where each project alternatively provides the raw sounds which are shaped by the other.

Band of Pain - Qué Amiga? (Cold Spring)
Cinematic ambient with a balance of synthetic and acoustic instruments from this UK project and label-head of Dirter Promotions. Not too dissimilar to some Contrastate works at times.

Bardoseneticcube & Igor V. Petrov - The Perpetuum Mobile Space Vehicle [mn029] (Mechanoise Labs)
Collaborative material from Bardoseneticcube's recording sessions with St. Petersburg-based saxophonist Igor V. Petrov. Definitely one of Bardoseneticcube's most singular and musical works, with a mixture of irradiated electronics, hazy lunar jazz, sedated drones and urban soundscapes. Artwork by STPo.

Black To Comm - Rückwärts Backwards (Dekorder)
Black to Comm is the sound project headed by March Richter, head of German label Dekorder. His debut album relies mostly on processed shellac and vinyl loops, field recordings and assorted instruments (gamelan, organs, guitars, pianos among others) to forge 8 tracks of surreal ambience and crackling grooves. The carefully constructed arrangements make this more than just a patchwork of random sounds and the pieces even have a somewhat bittersweet and emotional quality to them. Last but not least, the tracks linger just long enough to leave an impression without wearing out their welcome.

Brutum Fulmen - Flesh Of The Moon (Crippled Intellect Productions)
First full-length CD from Brutum Fulmen, Jeff Wrench's main experimental sound project. While there is no shortage of sound artists who rely on field recordings for their material and delve into the often dessicated fields of musique concrète, few that I'm aware of have managed to turn them into such lush electro-acoustic compositions that actually warrant repeated listenings. The 10 tracks gathered here are carefully crafted from the sounds of old manual typewriters, hinges, metal, feedback, and other common and uncommon objects, and the booklet provides an extensive list of these sources which is always interesting to read as you listen to the end result. Consistently captivating.
