Reviews


Lowness - Undertow
It is a pleasant rarity to encounter such a considered, mature approach to themes that are usually dealt with in an adolescent, confrontational (read: distorted vocals + industrial beats + catchy lead synth riffs) manner; the darker side of electronic music receives, in the form of "Undertow", a much-needed shot in the arm.
More


four releases from electroton label
There's a new label in town and this is one you should beware of. It's called Electroton and listening to their most recent releases - which they sent to us in a bundle - they seem to reach out for the audience for whom Raster-Noton is a way of life and are definitely a label to keep track of!
More


Kush Arora - Voodoo Sessions EP
The "Voodoo Sessions" EP is satisfactory dance floor fodder but only the track "Humidifier" and its steamy equatorial leanings will truly transport you elsewhere.

Release


Thermidor - 1929 Revisited
"1929 Revisited" is the companion to Thermidor's critically acclaimed "1929" debut album, featuring reworkings of original Thermidor material by a selection of international artists (Ascetic, Lingouf, Marching Dynamics, Sleep Clinic, Stpocold, Tapage, Talvekoidik and Wilt)
More


Reviews


Mathias Delplanque - Parcelles 1-10
More


Torrent Vaccine - Focus
Overall this is a solid release providing enough diversity in style to avoid the remix album cliche. The only fault is the sheer volume of remixes versus the promised collaborations and extended mixes. To be fair, considering this is a companion to "Tentative Response" and "Remixude", it serves its purpose in drawing the new listener to the oriinal works from "Tentative Response".
More


Xedh - Vinduskarm
Three themes on "Vinduskarm" are divided into seven tracks, and as a whole they form a nicely composed soundscape ranging from the watery sound of children's toys to somewhat more harsh sounding noise. At no moment it gets dull or boring.

Cape Fear - Winds Of The Dead Air

Necrotek - None More Black EP
This is the sound of Necrotek stepping out a little from the big, looming shadow of the influences, and starting to make good on the initial promise, even with a little less nihilism and a little more humanity than before.

Reviews


Concrete Lung - Waste of Flesh EP
A very impressive and assured debut, nodding to the past as much as it is attempting to remind people that industrial (or "death industrial", as they put it) is very much of the now, too. And with material with this much power, it may be that they drag the genre into the present whether it likes it or not. More


Schuster - Breaking Down Into His Own Oblivion
In short this is exactly the range of sonic illusions, textures and associated perceptions that many "dark ambient" producers aspire to but don't reach. It may or not may not be a mapping of internal psychological states but the result is a work that is half-familiar and half-uncanny, a masterful and seductive dislocation.
More


Gultskra Artikler - Galaktika
"Galaktika" as a whole is serene, a sort of zero state where complex physics, hard vacuum and organic sentience meet in delicate balance. It is a work open to interpretation, lending itself as equally to spiritual as it might to objective possibilities.
More


Comisario Hjuler & Madre Osa - Música Experimental
"Música Experimental" is packed into a babyblue casing, the cassette itself is also babyblue, the artwork is also kinda babyblue and Cy has all right to be proud at his parents. Even though their music isn't amongst the easiest of listenings.

Interview


Karloz M - Manufactura
From misplaced accusations of fascism and misogyny to nightclub altercations that generate all manner of Internet rumors, Manufactura creator Karloz M. is one of the most controversial figures in the modern rhythmic noise scene. As an artist that pushes the boundaries of his artwork with every release one can always expect the unexpected from Manufactura.

Reviews


Ginormous - The Sound Of Love Impermanent
This is thus far the best album i have heard in 2010 and is a breath of fresh air in the cold realm of electronic music. I strongly suggest this release to anyone who is a fan of warm electronics or downtempo/IDM. This collection of music is sure to be a welcome addition to any listener.
Read more


Asche - The Easter Island Phenomenon
With "The Easter Island Phenomenon" Asche maintains his reputation by creating a complex album that will challenge his peers. "The Easter Island Phenomenon" represents a significant step for Asche, who has clearly matured and grown as a musician without losing his edge nor his passion.
Read more


The Prayer Tree - The Prayer Tree
A collaboration between Jerôme Chassagnard of Ab Ovo and Guillaume Eluerd of NIMP and serves up a more widely accessible sound than their solo works and delivers a pleasant dose of well written downtempo electronica full of melancholy organs and smooth well written vocals.
Read more


V/A - Wrapped In The Guise Of My Friend (Covered Attrition) (Covered Attrition)
This is a compilation displaying Attrition's influence on the genres of darkwave, electronica and more. It is a well rounded compilation featuring artists from various genres including such artists as Chiasm, Unwoman, and more.
Read more


Yvat - Oar
Yvat are good at what they do. If you like your experimental electronic music raw and unpolished you might want to come across a shiny rock like this one.
