Blind Cave Salamander is a project by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (ex-Larsen) and Paul Beauchamp, backed up by sound designer, producer and engineer, Marco Milanesio, and legendary cello player Julia Kent. The music reflects an unusual mix of electronica, strings and guitars, drones and field recordings. A fine collection of sounds that at times lean towards hypnotic lullabies and at others towards abstraction. With their 2nd album, BIind Cave Salamander unravel shadowy, nocturnal landscapes, into lush, bucolic soundscapes. "Troglobite" also features experimentalist Michael Begg (Fovea Hex, Human Greed) as well as Little Annie's pianist Paul Wallfisch. 6-panel digipak.

HUMAN GREED - 'Black Hill: Midnight At The Blighted Star' CD (Lumberton Trading Company)
The third album by Edinburgh's finest exponents of often haunting, yet always touching, ebb and flow. Michael Begg (Fovea Hex) with very special guest appearances by Julia Kent (Antony & the Johnsons, Blind Cave Salamander), Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Blind Cave Salamander, Larsen), David Tibet (Current 93) and Clodagh Simonds (Fovea Hex). Gathering together material quite possibly amounting to their most accomplished yet, 'Black Hill...' is akin to being caught in the trail of a shooting star heading to the very place where dreams, fears, hopes and an overwhelming sense of helpless abandonment teeter over the periphery of yet another rather enticing void. At once beautiful, melancholic, slightly bruised and foreboding, the music here never fails to captivate.

MARIAE NASCENTI - 'Raise Your Paw To The Sky And Break The Truce' Enhanced CD (Final Muzik)
The second album from Italian Mariae Nascenti was produced by Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen), "Raise..." is arguably the best work of Mariae Nascenti: pain, loneliness, imagination, dreams, blood, souls and flesh collide together in this wonderfully emotional album. It develops though vital energy a devastating tabula rasa of feelings, through other-worldly melodies, "found" songs, silences, sudden spoken texts, obscure nightmare soundtracks and cold nocturnal music for black & white memories. Guests: Larsen, Northgate, Blind Cave Salamander, Femina Faber / Ludmila, DsorDNE and more. Includes a bonus video track. Ltd x 1200 copies in a digipak with booklet.
