Dissecting Table - Into the Light (Crowd Control Activities)
4 long tracks of pure apocalyptic bliss. The first two prominently feature a sort of mechanized death-funk industrial unheard of elsewhere, and the third track is a great slice of old-school structured noise that climaxes with a flurry of pounding drums. The fourth ends the album with the traditional full-on percussive sound that Dissecting Table is known for, but combined with gloomy atmospheric passages. A flawless release.

Hinageshi Bondage - Pariisi Vuonna 1959 (Nihil Market)
Strange and often sparse experimental noise from Finland. Turntable sounds, high-end tones and rhythmic loops are used on the noisier tracks, while some interludes are provided in the shape of bass-heavy drones.

Hollydrift - Waiting For The Tiller (Parasomnic Records)
Hollydrift is Wisconsin-based Mathias Anderson's experimental sound project. "Waiting for the Tiller" is his first proper CD release if I'm not mistaken, and it's a finely crafted piece of work with a high level of attention paid to detail. The ten tracks here often work as collage pieces, with field recordings of all sorts (number stations, answering machine messages, nonsensical vocal snippets) mingling with radiant droning loops and sedated noise outbursts.

Iovae - Civilization (SNSE)
Sputtering, dense oscillator tones courtesy of Cincinnati-based Iovae (Ron Orovitz). 5 strangely catchy tracks of stressed, groaning buzzes and shifting high end fuzz. Pretty close to what a noisier, lo-fi COH would sound like in some regards, and definitely a nice discovery.

Iugula Thor / Sshe Retina Stimulants - Performance Ranges (Self Abuse)
The Sshe Retina Stimulants side is a great piece of buzzing noise with spastic synth sounds trying to fight their way through it. Iugula Thor's track is along the lines of his contribution to "The Sounds of Sadism" compilation, and comes off as an a cappella power electronics routine.
(Grey-marbled 7", $10.00)

Lietterschpich - I Cum Blood In The Think Tank (Topheth Prophet)
Label info: "The eight-piece group of Lietterschpich (Hebrew for liter of cum) has been boiling down foul language, obscene noise, primitive rituals and perplexing visual propaganda to their core since 2004. Comprised of local veterans of the Israeli post-punk, industrial and electronica scenes, they quickly gained cult status in the Israeli underground. They've released "Quasi" A 3" black cdr in 2005, before calling it a night and taking a year break. They will be back soon to antagonize the cultivated majority that got away last time."

Mattias Frisk - En Dag I Väntan På Livet (Self-released)
Mattias Frisk is a graphic artist whose collaboration with fellow Swedes Altar of Flies and Gjalp was released not too long ago on Nil By Mouth. This 29-min debut solo release is a wonderfully strange collage of sputtering noise, acoustic pop music and bird songs. Overall, this is an imaginative piece of work that definitely warrants keeping an eye out his future releases. The presentation is equally unusual, as the CD-R comes inside a sealed envelope addressed to Mattias Frisk with a hand-written letter in Swedish and a color insert.
(CD-R in sealed envelope, $10.00)

Mattias Frisk - Ett Liv I Väntan På Döden (Self-released)
Second part of what is announced as a trilogy of releases by Swedish artist Mattias Frisk, whose eerie and colorful paintings and collages are just as attention-worthy as his musical output.
Exploring the themes of "time, death and apathy", this second chapter shifts to slower and more dispiriting sounds, with gloomy piano melodies and ghostly drones pierced by brittle noise shards. Solemn and somber like it should be, this definitely comes highly recommended. Packaged like the first volume in an envelope with a hand-written letter in Swedish.

N. - Memories From Before Being Born (Belligeranza)
Produced using nothing more than two empty tape-recorders connected to each other, this is the sound of nothingness, hollow frequencies and flat electroencephalograms. This album is presented over the course of 27 short tracks and fulfills its conceptual promise by straining raw, scum-drenched bass tones to oblivion.
