Various Artists - Holy Mother Russia (Steinklang)
An excellent primer on the current Russian experimental electronic scene, with appearances by some of the country's most established projects. Features tracks by Linija Mass, Lucisferrato, Sal Solaris, Reutoff, Bardoseneticcube, Stalnoy Pakt (can't have too much Lebedev-Frontov), Lunar Abyss Quartet and Hum. Pick this up along with the Thalamus II and Red Square CDs and you'll have a rather good view of what's going on in Mother Russia these days.

Vetrophonia - Symformoza (Ultra)
Vetrophonia is Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass) and Nick Soudnick (ZGA). Symformoza is the logical result of such a collaboration, with the former's preference for raw mechanical loops and the latter's taste for ritualistic percussive sounds and tense atmospheres. This release is limited to 120 copies and features a beautiful cover designed by Lebedev-Frontov.

Vetrophonia - Promzona (Ultra)
Second CD release from this collaborative project between the Russian activists responsible for ZGA and Linija Mass / Stalnoy Pakt. While somewhat more accessible than "Simultannostb", Promzona carries over much of the same elements but in a more refined form, resulting in what is possibly their best release yet. Oxygen-starved symphonic loops, field recordings, didgeridoos and metallic clangs form a soundtrack to a desolate world of slowly sinking tugboats and aborted construction sites.

Vetrophonia - The Space Voyage (Zhelezobeton)
Label info: "The science fiction film "The Space Voyage" was first shown in Soviet cinema theatres in January 1936. [...] The film narrates about the bravery of young pioneers, the willingness of Soviet women to always come to aid, the fearlessness of scientists and their determination to sacrifice their lives in the name of science. [...]
The original film had a soundtrack compiled of various classical music compositions. But what can be more appropriate to the constructivist spirit of Soviet time than the retro-futurism of St. Petersburg's noise scene classics? The Vetrophonia duet consisting of Nickolay Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt, Veprisuicida, etc.) solved this task with enthusiasm. During 2005 while working in the ZGA studio they laboriously collected samples, recorded the parts of electronic and acoustic instruments and composed collages for each specific scene of the film. The result turned out to be beyond all praise.
The DVD-R with the movie has an option of turning on English subtitles, comes with a booklet containing an article about the shooting process and is packed in a special cardboard sleeve.

Vetrophonia - Shumographika (Strange Sounds Records)
New 2005 album from the duo of St. Petersburg veterans Nick Soudnick (ZGA) and Alexander Lebedev-Frontov (Linija Mass, Stalnoy Pakt). As with their most recent releases, the material is carefully constructed from a wide range of noises and sounds, ranging from the familiar (bells, dog barks, metal sheets, drum rolls, old vinyls) to the unnameable. More serene and intimate than the epic "Promzona", "Shumographika" is Futurist poetry at its best. Russian import.

Vetrophonia - Simultannostb (Ultra)
CD re-release of the early 1999 "Risveglio Di Una Citta / Futurogrammatika" tape with two extra tracks recorded in 2003. Urban din and mechanical cacophony forged into futurist compositions that bring to mind then easily supplant Vivenza's "Aérobruitisme Dynamique".

YAO 91404 D - Key to Abyss (Abgurd)
Collage tracks made from chunks of Soviet radio speeches, period music and looping factory noises. Based on a book by Ilya Masodov. Old-school constructivist industrial that should appeal to those into Linija Mass, Vivenza and related projects.
(CD-R, DVD case with full-color artwork and insert, out of stock)
