S.E.T.I. - Corona (Power & Steel)
Fifth album from Andrew Lagowski's deep space exploration project, S.E.T.I. Active since 1982, Lagowski has notably collaborated with Lustmord on one-off projects such as Terror Against Terror and Isolrubin BK, and his own solo work includes material released as Legion and under his own name.
Of all his albums as S.E.T.I., 1995's "Knowledge" has always been a personal top pick, and remains among the best sonic attempts at evoking the vastness of the cosmos even to this day. "Corona" is the rightful follow-up to it, as it reuses and improves on a lot of the same elements: deep cosmic drones, sputtering digital oscillations, NASA recordings, cut-up radio broadcasts and harmonic waves are all forged together into a richly-detailed 52-min journey to the beyond. Ad Astra.

S36NZ-OKh - Dar (Ultra)
First album from S36NZ-OKh (aka Kirill Rozhkov, also known as T.A.U. and one half of Stalnoy Pakt). Narcoleptic drones with subtle shifting high frequencies. Like meditating in an electrical power station.

SRMeixner - The Dictatorship of The Viewer (Fin de Siècle Media)
SRMeixner is the new self-named solo project of Stephen Meixner, half of the now defunct Contrastate. This second full-length release under this name could be succinctly described as thoughtfully composed experimental music and the logical continuation from where Contrastate left off.
Written for the 2003 Venice Biennale, the 18 sub-sections presented here form one flowing piece which was initially composed and structured as a live performance. That, however, shouldn't stop you from imposing your own permutation on the tracklist as the title suggests, creating a new configuration that toys with the relationship between the way information is ordered and its resulting perception.

Sadogipnoz - Old Structures - Mythological Reason (8th Moon Art)
Side project of Lunar Abyss Quartet members, released on the now defunct 8th Moon Art label. Ritualistic industrial with collages of looped instruments and found sounds. From murky underwater sonic explorations to drunken operatic dirges.

SantAAgostino - Operazione Paura (Greytone)
Based on the track titles and the involvement of former members of Onirot, I expected cavernous Italian death industrial which you can rarely go wrong with. What I got turned out to be much less predictable. Operazione Paura could be best summarized as an updated take on Fabio Frizzi's horror film scores, with the plodding electronic rhythms considerably hardened up, the tone oscillations turned into roaring buzzsaws and the voodoo percussion loops getting mixed with glitchy crepitations. The glossy digital production may drive off those still perpetually stuck in lo-fi fetishism, but the rest of you should definitely give this one an ear.

Shinjuku Thief - Sacred Fury (Fin de Siècle Media)
Label info: "Darrin Verhagen on his latest release re-embraces all the dramatic theatricality his Shinjuku Thief project is best known for.
Hovering midway between gothic orchestral horror and contemporary cinematic narrative, "Sacred Fury" presents us with a score from the midst of judgment. Reflective cinematic odes are strafed by brutal sound design, whilst elsewhere, bombastic homages to In Slaughter Natives pound out a march to the apocalypse in 31 beats.
This is the quintessential soundtrack for when all your best military plans turn to shit in your hands, and each new oncoming pallet-load of reason, ideology and faith seems more combustible than the last."

Shumy Rossii - Nevidimost (BioSonar Labirint)
Label info: "Shumy Rossii (aka Les Bruits Russes) is a unique project on Russian post-industrial scene. To create their music they don't use any instruments except for voices of their vocalists. The main method of sound-expressing is perfectly executed collage technique. This CD contains the recording of live show, being held in the city of Obninsk in April 2003."

Sister Loolomie - Signals (Zhelezobeton)
Spiraling electric drones from one half of Moscow duo Exit in Grey. Overall the sounds here are actually quite soothing and semi-melodic, with lots of fluttering details underlined with a gentle hint of digital glazing. Not your typical ambient record.

Sshe Retina Stimulants - Ketsueki No Eiga (Self Abuse)
Brain-frying frequencies manipulated with savage precision by Paolo Bandera, also known for his works as Sigillum S. Where others merely content themselves with always-in-the-red walls of noise, Sshe Retina Stimulants have mastered the capacity of building tension and delivering the way it matters.
