Reviews


Kush Arora - Boiling Over
With "Boiling Over" Kush Arora aims at an emotive and stylistic overview of his material, shifting away from his 'dread bass' work and instead focusing on a collection of non-vocal tracks, more original material that relies on melodic elements like horns and flutes to tug at sentimental strings.

Release


Tzii - Earthly Excruciate
Human beings always felt the need for domination on their fellow comrades. Unfortunately torture is too often a way to achieve it, treating like pigs the victims. This recording is against all form of excruciate on any living creature. Performed and recorded on one take in Brussels in February 2010.

Reviews


Kshatriy - Slepok Soznaniya
This is the perfect soundtrack for an individual or a culture perched on the brink of a literal or metaphorical abyss, compelled to watch as colossal and almost certainly lethal forces break through the thin crust of normality. Approach with caution and respect.
Read more


v01d - This Is Not A False Alarm Anymore
This album really is a striking change to what was expected, and you know what? It's a solid album, too that flows brilliantly - nothing feels out of place, and clearly a lot of work has gone into ensuring the album is a coherent whole, rather than a selection of tracks that listeners can pick and choose from.
Read more


Opposite Exhale - Nothing Lasts
Opposite Exhale is an incredible achievement and a skilful blending of piano, strings and electronics, as well as a selection of really beautiful music. But it is also bleak, desolate and not at all recommended for anyone who quails at the concept of intelligence behind music.
Read more


Alarmen - Next
Sadly, I am more man than machine, despite an undeniable penchant for electronic music, and "Next" seems composited - rather than composed - with a mechanical audience in mind.

Reviews


Caustic - And You Will Know Me By The Trail Of Vomit
What is the first thing that comes to mind when I listen to Caustic? Songs that seep with sarcasm, smell of week old beer, and have a general ‘fuck you’ mentality. This latest offering from Caustic’s mastermind, Matt Fanale is no exception to any of those preconceived notions.
Read more


Dicepeople - Time To Play
The one area of fault with "Time To Play" is that it comes off shallow or two-dimensional - it lacks depth on the majority of the songs (the one exception being the above mentioned "Ghost"). That aside, "Time to Play" is a release deserving of a serious listen that will cater to fans of IDM, psytrance and techno.
Read more


|**| (Gate) - No Exit
"No Exit" is the first release by Tokyo-based Lajos Ishibashi-Brons' noise/jazz improv project "|**|" (pronounced "Gate").Although the range this album spans is refreshing, it also feels a little all over the place and less like an album than a collection of studio jams. Nevertheless this is an interesting first album and shows promise for future releases.
Read more



In the end, the collection of these 3 artists is a sonic assault on the listener’s senses, though not everyone’s cup of tea. For fans of experimental noise, post-breakcore/rhythmic noise.
