FORMICATION - 'Icons For A New Religion' CD (Lumberton Trading Company)
"Icons For A New Religion" is the first CD proper from this often spaceward-bound UK electronica duo of Alec Bowman and Kingsley Ravenscroft. Mulched digital flotsam, chattering rhythms, buried voices, squelched beats, vapour trails and suchlike combine to create a vast and sprawling, kaleidoscopic filmic spew that's unstoppable in its reaching out to those parts of your imagination simply waiting to be taken to new places. At times, the music recalls early Tangerine Dream, or a darker Autechre, via the ritualistic and chemical saturation of Coil.

HINSIDAN - 'God Is In The Details' 2 x CD Box (Phisteria)
Danish act Hinsidan return with two full albums 'God Is In The Details’ and 'Music For Ghosts' - released as a limited double CD box-set with 10 artprints. A cold, dark unconventional journey, harsh and epic reflecting the eternal / ongoing battle between the darkness and the light sound painted in vivid shades of grey and blue. Love, god, hate and the endless ways to fall apart are issues all dealt with on this piece of work that stands out as a momentual statement of this new millenium. The sophisticated blend of Ambient and Electro make this a must for fans of Autechre and Coil.

HINSIDAN - 'We're Sick Of Your Violence' 12" (Realler)
4 tracks from this Danish act who first appeared with a remix on Asche's "Distorted DJ" (Ant-Zen). Music according to Hinsidan are sounds, tones and beats that takes you places. The title song straddles between surreal complexity and naïve simplicity... odd and eerie. Tough and distorted beats, analogue bass, hypnotic synths and harsh drum explosions stand this above the average 'Ambient' fare. Nice cinematic melodies throughout. Again, the sophisticated blend of Ambient and Electro make this a must for fans of Autechre and Coil.
