AGLAIA: UNPROFANED TWILIGHT, CD
(Faria)
A soundworld where the vibrations, the poetry and sound teraphy bring
the listener into forgotten sound places. The electronic sounds seem
played from the wind, and their brilliance often seem to come from the
cords of an acoustic instrument. [EQM]

ANTONIO TESTA: INFRAMUNDIS, CD
(Faria)
Inframundis (inland universe, latin) is a research of stalagmites and
stalagtites sounds mixed with textures and drones; It’s a meditative
record and it creates a balance between biosphere and technosphere. The
cd gets free all its energies, its little/big sounds, its hidden
atmospheres, and microharmonies.
The sounds, music, make us come back to the past, offering us the view
of a World. The sound evokes angelical moments between the imperceptible
evolution of the sound of the sky and the ethnic roots, natural
instrumental sounds creating atmospheres which evoke in our imaginary
visions and images of the most far places. It is an alchemic project of
ancestral sounds. Deeply rooted in our unconscious.
Artwork conception was created by Sara Luciani, release contain several
cards and double side cover.

ARDITI: OMNE ENSIS IMPERA, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
“Omne Ensis Impera” introduces an additional strength to Arditi’s
compositions - epic orchestral loops and thunderous percussions are
granted a more prominent role, stirring the damp and suffocating
ambiance that the duo have always produced so well. The highly
anticipated new album by the Swedish duo is finally upon us, under the
title "Omne Ensis Impera". The sense of determination that echoes
through their music and which has brought them to the forefront of
Martial / Industrial Neo-Classical scene has stayed untouched, evoking
the sense of duty and commitment that Italy's WWI elite storm troops,
from which the name Arditi originated, were known for.
Similarly, shades of the Italian Futuristic movement of the early XXth
century, which served as inspiration in the early days of the project,
remain imprinted in Arditi's work - "Omne Ensis Impera" could well be a
modern interpretation of the Futurist's goal of glorifying warfare to an
artistic expression beyond its inherent violence and intrinsic sense of
heroism.
"Omne Ensis Impera" has been mastered by Kamrat Nordvargr of Mz.412 and
Toroidh, an old ally of the band. Nordvargr has also contributed with
additional arrangements on a couple of tracks, and prepared a slightly
modified track list, which will feature on the vinyl version of the
album that will follow soon, together with a limited edition box set.
The CD version is presented in a deluxe glossy Digipak, with embossed
artwork.

BABYLONE CHAOS: LES MACHINES ECARLATES, CD
(OPN)
10 tracks mixing industrial music with electronic sounds, harsh noise
with ambient parts guiding the listener in a maze haunted by weird and
blood red sonorities.
Disgraced experiments, killing technology, modelize your veins, program
& compose your bones. Don’t be scared, all the datas composing your body
are under control. Those are not only cursed visions from some paranoiac
morons…

BESTIA CENTAURI: TERATOGENESIS, CD
(Eibon Records)
Sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and
the extra-human. With the new release, Bestia Centauri defies once and
for all the persistent mischaracterizations of its sound as belonging to
the "Dark Ambient ghetto". Electroacoustic and computer music elements
come brazenly to the foreground, and contribute even more so to the flow
of "crawling chaos" that has always characterized and inspired Bestia
Centauri’s compositions. The genesis and development of a monstrosity is
the theme of this new work, which charts a course from mutated
unicellular sonic DNA to the resultant life-form that reaches "from the
jaws of the dragon, from the depths of the abyss".

CALABI-YAU: COMPACTIFIED, CD
(Faria)
Calabi-Yau (called in the names of two mathematicians (Eugenio Calabi)
and (Shing-Tung Yau )) spaces may be that microscopic shape, deep inside
the hidden dimensions of string theory. There are many such spaces…
According to string theory, space-time isn't 4-dimensional as you might
expect, but 10-dimensional. Where are the extra six dimensions? One
answer is that they're "compactified": roughly speaking, rolled up into
such a small space as to be unobservable at human scales.
You are in the forest, it is night, and in a moment you are in space,
exploring the phenomena, for which there is no explanation and knowledge
in our days…And You hear the sound of loquacious water far away from
You. The sky is in front of You…You can observe all the planets to be
clearly. And there are plenty of animals around You, which You‘ve never
seen before, which are so close, that they are almost touching You.
Thought is equal to movement, there is no difference between them. There
is only one way to understand these visions… It is possible because of
«calabi-yau», spontaneous movements and feelings inside myriads of spaces…

CISFINITUM: TACTIO, CD
(Mechanoise Labs)
Tactio is the live recording of a Cisfinitum concert at the St. Petri
Dom (St. Peter's Cathedral) in Bremen, on November 24, 2005. The
particular (and as expected highly favorable) acoustics of this
environment were consistently used not only as an enhancing effect but
as an integral foundation for the performance, making it unmistakably
tied to its context. Presented in the form of six continuous tracks, the
album is a contemplative composition of vibrant drones, reverberating
bells and synthesized resonance, gracefully evolving from the celestial
tones of its start to the tellurian pulses of its climax. This is a
piece of work that is elaborate in its simplicity, and it's with much
appreciation that it is presented here today. The beautiful iconic
artwork by Evgeny Kuprienko further emphasizes the relic-like qualities
of this recording.

COLLOQUIO: SI MUOVE E RIDE, CD
(Eibon Records)
Nobody sounds and sings the inadequacy of this life like Gianni does.
There's something more than mere "music" in his records and there's more
than simple "poetry" in his words. I feel I could write for hours about
how touching, beautiful and moving COLLOQUIO's music is, but it is
frankly useless. Those who are aware of the stature of this band, will
greatly enjoy. The other ones, well........

FABIO ORSI: FIND ELECTRONICA, CD
(A Silent Place)
"In only two years of work Fabio Orsi has achieved critique and fans,
imposing his name as one of the most promising and representative of the
entire Italian independent scene. A drift began with the excellent vinyl
LP "Osci" (SmallVoices 2005), followed by the famous split CD "For Alan
Lomax" (A Silent Place, 2006) together with Italian My Cat is an Alien
and a couple of cooperations with Gianluca Becuzzi: "Muddy Speaking
Ghosts Through My Machines" (A Silent Place 2006) e "The Stones Know
Everything" (Digitalis Industries 2007). Today, as final confirmation of
his talent, A Silent Place is proud to present this new Fabio Orsi solo.
"Find Electronica" is a wonderful album finely full of lyric, structured
as a long drone/ambient suite divided in two portions which are the
frames of the articulated central track. A strictly personal exercise on
the "Weird Folk" theme, hypnotic and seductive. The "found" electronica
meets the humoral sonorities made by the six chords, projecting
enchanted landscapes on a vibrant horizon, with an intimate sensibility.
Abstract and emotional, deep and dreamy, "Find Electronica" is a great
album: an essential step in the ascending Fabio's career. Another
great/small gem from that "silent place" in the deep Italian South."

FABIO ORSI & GIANLUCA BECUZZI: MUDDY SPEAKING GHOSTS THROUGH MY
MACHINES, CD
(A Silent Place)
Muddy Speaking Ghosts Through My Machines' is the brand new album
released together by Fabio Orsi and Gianluca Becuzzi. This album will be
certainly followed by other cooperations, considering the big friendly
artistic sodality between them. Fabio e Gianluca are a strange duo,
considering the big differences of their artistic back-ground. Fabio
Orsi is a young and unexpected talent. After his first album, "Osci"
(LP, SmallVoices 2005), produced by Gianluca Becuzzi, he got a lot of
positive feedbacks, worldwide, by the most important international
media, confirmed by his second official release "For Alan Lomax" (CD, A
Silent Place 2006) splitted with cosmical Italian duo My Cat is an
Alien. Gianluca Becuzzi is a very well known character of the Italian
experimental scene since from the 80s, under many different alias.
Recently known as Kinetix, Gianluca latest release is the very well
appreciated "Memory Makes Noise" (CD, SmallVoices 2006) a great
electroacoustic pearl. The unexpected uncounter between different
forces, experiences and visions of this two artists is prefectly melted
in this album: strong and tied, an imaginary place where folkway and
research, past and present, distance and closeness, mud and clouds,
ghosts and machines meets. Shreds of ballads, guitars and old keyboards
floating on the vibrant surface of this faery river and disappear, towed
off by drones and rumors, pouring between distant voices and centenary
blues songs from the Alan Lomax archive. Raptur and sweet lostness: this
is the main sensation. It could be listed as Avant-Folk, or
Experimental-Blues, Ambient- Roots or contemporary aesthetics and aching
nostalgia...

FARYUS: LUCID DREAMS, CD
(Faria)
This album is devoted to a phenomenon of the "Lucid dreams".
A “lucid dream” - is a dream, in which the person is aware that he or
she is dreaming while the dream is in progress. During lucid dreams you
have control over the dream characters and environment, as well as the
ability to perform otherwise physically impossible feats. The feelings
which you feel during lucid dreams are very similar to those available
during a waking state. Often they surpass the 'usual' with a saturation
and intensity.
This phenomenon has been researched by such well-known researchers as
Stephen LaBerge, Robert Monroe, Carlos Castaneda, etc.. The 9th book of
Carlos Castaneda - "The Art of Dreaming" explains more fully the events
occuring within this album.
The album is conceived as travel from the moment of falling asleep up to
the depths of the infinite universe of the Dreaming: “Vivid Dream” -
this is a dream, where colours and events are extremely bright. After
awakening we never forget these dreams, it remains in the memory as a
very exciting experience. It is the first phase of lucid dreaming and
the beginning of our travel. We can then find "Clarity", passing through
the first gate of dreaming to enjoy the "Lucid Dream". Opening infinite
opportunities of the universe of dreaming we begin our "Free Flying"
obtaining the sanctum sanctorum of the dreaming universe - to the "World
of Inorganic Beings".

LUIGI TURRA: ENSO, CD
(Small Voices)
Field recording, electroacoustic, evanescent resonances, minimal acts
full of organic substances, atmospheres finely wrought in the void by
impenetrable geometries, evoking zen gardens (graphically portrayed on
the cover with a Roberto Zingales' photo). All these elements and even
more is embodied in this Luigi Turra's project published by Smallvoices.
He's a clever sound designer, modulating contrasts, and describing with
obsessive care circular universes (expressed by the Japanese language
term 'enso'). It's a project that, in settings and drafting, somehow
follows the intercultural research concerning writings and languages of
the world, previously started in projects developed together with
Gianluca Becuzzi (here he's the executive producer). Three tracks,
dilated in suggestive and aesthetic scores, escaping on one hand the
emphasis and reflecting it on the other hand like in a mirror, alerting
our listening experience on every possible tone. (Aurelio Cianciotta)

MATHIAS GRASSOW, AMIR BAGHIRI, RUDIGER GLEISBERG: ARCANUM, CD
(Faria)
This is rerelease of legendary masterpiece from 3 famous german composers.
"Arcanum" - it is collaboration of three different musical styles which
creates a unique arcanum of excellent music. Mathias Grassow fills
compositions his special deep mood drone ambient. Amir Baghiri adds his
hypnotic percussions and Rudiger Gleisberg plays wonderful cosmic
electronics. It will enjoyable to all music lovers!
Previously released by Amplexus label as ltd of 500 copies at 1998 and
totally sold out few years ago. Now rereleased with two bonus tracks,
and luxury pack with artworks of Markus Vogt with several cards inside.
""Arcanum" is a deep ritualistic journey from Mathias Grassow, Rudiger
Gleisberg and Amir Baghiri. The deep minimalist soundscapes reflect the
diverse influences that these three performers bring to the table.
Techno tribal passages, deep synth drones, dark atmospheres and arid
desert ethnicities fill every corner of this soundworld. The density of
the gray soundscape is otherworldly. I found myself journeying to
foreign lands and exotic locales, some beyond our atmosphere. I went
willingly as the deep rhythms and dark drones seduced me and prepared me
for anything. I had a very powerful cleansing experience. Amir's deep
desert washes, Mathias' spiritual manipulations and Rudiger's dark
drones surrounded me safely and warmly as we explored the darker sides
of my psyche. That protection empowered me to look beyond the dark to
see the light on the other side of my inner self. Finally, refreshed and
rejuvenated, we returned to the here and now. I look forward to more
journeys with this trio of master electronicians. "

MOLJEBKA PVLSE: LODE LVX, 7"
(Drone Records)
"For some years now Stockholm based artist MATHIAS JOSEFSON has
delighted the drone scene with his highly minimal excursions into drone
territory. From harsh noise to soft & gentle ambience the aim is to
reach a basic level of sound conscience. In doing so the "human mind"
and the "sound mind" interact to build a symbiotic entity. MOLJEBKA
PVLSE is Josefson’s sound art project where he often collaborates with
KARIN JACOBSON. The two pieces "lode" and "lvx" are great examples of
breathing drone structures which seem to be derived from real string or
wind instruments. Harmonic & mysterious, dense & aspiring.... this is
indeed music like a lode of illuminations... Filed under: BREATHING DRONES

(Drone Records)
NOISE DREAMS MACHINA is the project of Spanish artist OSCAR MARTIN. Now
living & studying in Berlin & Barcelona, he is currently exploring the
possibilities of homemade software with free tools for sound
deconstrucion and realtime performance. IN & OUT is his first vinyl
release and uses a wide range of environmental recordings which are
processed digitally in more "electro-acoustic" ways. This leads to a
balance between "Drone" and "Electro-Acoustic" where the acoustic
potential of conventional reality is enlarged via digital processing. In
his own words: "It brings attention to the peripheral zones of the sound
phenomenon". Through intense mutation & deconstruction of acoustic
materials a new or previously hidden meaning can be revealed for the
blind spot of our perception. Filed under: ADVANCED ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC DRONES

heavier and more substantial work that creates a light and dark
relationship with the original release and is much more than a simple
‘remix’of Moraines.

PUISSANCE: MOTHER OF DISEASE, CD
(Equilibrium Music)
In the year 1999, while mankind sat unnaware of their fate and wondering
if the moon would drift away into the far reaches of space as the XXth
century came to an end, Puissance would reappear, clad in shining armour.
With the Industrial rust of early days properly polished, the Swedish
duo would further explore their talent for graceful arrangements set to
Militaristic Neo-Classical music. Following the overtly confrontational
offerings of "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control", Puissance were now set
to resurrect the ghosts of Cold War and the obsession with all things
thermonuclear that haunted the planet - the Mother of Disease, as they
would call it - over that period. Brooding hymns to suicidal heroism,
devotional praises to a new god that would finally bring closure to the
human race, the screeching of metal twisting and melting - all of this
would find its place in Puissance's own beautiful vision of the
impending apocalypse, that they so ingeniously depict on "Mother of
Disease".
"Mother of Disease" is the third full length album produced by
Puissance, and also their third re-issue on Equilibrium Music, following
the early "Let Us Lead" and "Back In Control" releases, and last year's
new album, "Grace of God". Much like it's predecessors on this fine
collection, it has been re-mastered and enhanced with one bonus track,
presented in a matte-blue deluxe digipak edition.

R.Y.N.: ASTRAL DEATH, CD
(Unrest Productions)
Finally the real long-play album for this UK drone-duo presenting 6 long
tracks of waving & slowly shifting massive drones, based on "guitar,
bass, metal & effects". The sounds here are just flooding immensely,
there's nothing "concrete" you can hold on to; the mind & body seems to
be washed out slowly by these rustling feedbacking & deeply
reverberating overtune-waves. "Astral Death" is a journey into the
pulsating, meandering heart of disintegration.

SHRINE: DISTORTED LEGENDS, PT. 1, 7"
(Drone Records)
"Behind SHRINE we find a fresh experimental drone project from Bulgaria
(currently residing in England) combining the melancholia of distorted
synths with odd micro noises & effects. The fusion of rough and
thunderous drones with hidden melodies evokes a strong emotional impact,
like the feeling of being stuck in a confusing dream. SHRINE's
philosophy shows a way to realize that what we call “reality” is to be
mistrusted based upon our usual perceptions. The distortion of this
reality opens up a chance to better understand its true essence and
confront the things that lie behind the surface. Filed under: DREAM &

TROUM: OBJECTLESSNESS, CD
(Faria)
There is a big gap between “rational”, verbal language and the
pre-symbolic language of our emotional and unconscious mind. Music is
perceived partly with our conscious mind, who can analyze it and reflect
on it. On another part, it is perceived by our unconsciousness, by our
“primal consciousness” that lies “under” the rational mind.
The idea: Experimental music, especially that of a more droning
character, can easier “get in touch” or be unconsciously connected with
this primal state of mind. It is music that is linked with unconscious
fantasies coming from a pre-verbal sphere of existence... the phase of
life based on the dyadic interaction with the “primal object”, the mother.
At this early stage, there’s no awareness existing of being a full
separated Subject, and no other full separated Objects can be perceived.
Inner and outer reality is the same. Spheric, droning, dissolving music
is pointing unconsciously at this “objectless” sphere of existence. This
release is dedicated to the idea of an especially formed “pre-symbolic”
music.
Artwork conception contain 4 cards and cover with art from english
creator Pete Burn.
