Russia has had an incredibly interesting and mostly uncredited underground electronic scene for some time. One of its flag bearers has been Ivan Pavlov (CoH). He has collaborated with Throbbing Gristle members Cosey Fanny Tutti and Peter Christopherson (as Soi Song). The LP is culled from 1996 recordings which were made with DAO (Andrej Dao Kolesov). DAO + CoH uses bass, guitars and custom ZX Spectrum and the results are pretty damn awesome. There is a distinct 90‘s flavour and yet it retains a freshness. ‘Propharadeia’ is a really driving track that makes me shake my body from finger to toe. ‘Oka’ is dark and sinister coming through like an Autechre / Muslimgauze hybrid, seething with eastern paranoia. ‘Sung In Sand' continues the eastern flavour with its building intricate yet subtle percussion and swooping synths. Great stuff! Ltd x 440 copies on black vinyl.

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.

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.
