A Crown of Amaranth - Love Lies Bleeding (Crucial Bliss)
Label info: "Malevolent plunder ambient and knife-wielding nocturnal electronics. Heavily saturated field recordings of inter-dimensional beasts breaking through to this world. Mega sinister drones from deep space freighter missions. Sad chorals emerge from circuit wars. Awesome epic planet-destroying guitar instrumentals. A CROWN OF AMARANTH follows up the Manuscript/Winterupt release on Audio Savant with this eerie and surreal noise/ambient/post-rock/mutant electronica sound exploration."
(pro-printed CD-R in oversized color sleeve, $10.00)

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.

Bargain Basement / Wilt - Flea Market / 1958 (Solipsism / Self Abuse)
Label info: "Split/collaborative CD featuring two of our favorite experimental sound artists. Bargain Basement takes an assortment of ordinary sounds from day to day life, and mixes them together to create a surreal soundtrack to places unknown.

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.

Contagious Orgasm - The Flow of Sound Without Parameter (Ground Fault)
Label info: "Recordings of the sound of a town in Germany. The sound of a park being cleaned. Recordings at a zoo. A conversation in the kitchen. The scenic sounds on a balcony. These sounds were processed, and other sounds were added with ambient beats mixed in. This gives you The Flow of Sound Without Parameter."

False Mirror - North (Thonar Records)
Second full-length album from this German ambient project. Taking the Arctic as its environmental setting, "North" is a combination of field recordings from the North Atlantic ocean and wind storms, icy textures and deep polar pulses, not unlike Closing the Eternity's "Arctica" or Sleep Research Facility's "Deep Frieze". The suitably appropriate cover was painted by Sylvia Riester and was inspired by the fjords of Norway.

Hati - Works for Scrap Metal (Eter)
A collection of 9 minimalistic audio exercises achieved using exclusively the sounds of various pieces of discarded metal junk (barrels, springs, chains, steel plates, etc...). The crystalline recording quality strongly emphasizes the timber and tone of each sound source, bringing to mind some of the more subdued A.B.G.S. material.

I:Wound - Punish the Guilty (Locus of Assemblage)
Cut-and-paste collages of audio material sampled during a trip to India, ranging from field recordings of street crowds, radio jingles, children talking, chants, tablas and horns. I:Wound's ability to translate a physical sense of geography to sonic form makes for an interesting journey over the span of these 2 discs.
