This is the third full-length of Italian project Albireon. Since 1998 Albireon have developed a heartfelt and clear sound with acoustic guitar and keyboards. They have previously collaborated with Vittorio Vandelli (Ataraxia), Ian Read (Fire + Ice) and Sonne Hagal. In 2008 Albireon completed the "I passi di Li�", their definitive emotional masterwork. This is an album of mournful laments, remembering a lost beloved one, and is led by Davide Borghi's solemn voice. This nostalgic, evocative work leans towards Ambient and Post-Rock sounds, with ethereal moments and will appeal to fans of early Current 93.

ANCESTRAL HOUSE OF THE SUN - 'Ancestral House Of The Sun' LP (CTS Productions)
Ancestral House Of The Sun is the solo moniker of Greek artist Serafim Grigoriou. Though under the banner of acoustic / wyrd / progressive folk, Ancestral House Of The Sun has a certain epic, experimental quality to it that definitely makes it stand out. Unlike most folk music, Ancestral House Of The Sun doesn't follow strict, pre-determined 'pop' structural patterns It's an unusual, yet refreshing, pairing of folk and experimental acoustic. Ancestral House Of the Sun does a fine job of creating interesting atmospheric landscapes and intimate overtones to accent the guitar and enhance the mood of each song. Ancestral House Of The Sun deserves a quiet room and little distraction, for the details are what make this music come alive and keep your attention. For fans of Current 93, Six Organs Of Admittance, Nick Drake etc. Ltd x 492 copies in an embossed sleeve.

CONTROL - 'Deadly Sins' CD (Malignant Records)
Another pulverizing display of power from Thomas Garrison's Control. 7 tracks, thematically centered around the 7 deadly sins (with each track clocking in at 7 minutes), originally issued an extremely limited release (just 50 copies!) for the Elektroanschlag 11 Festival earlier this year. There is no atonement here, nor redemption offered. Just cold, jarring currents of massively built power electronics and horror filled death industrial, full of clamoring factory debris, razor sharp sheets of sonic violence, and grisly metallic grind, rounded out with Garrison's trademark vocal devastation. Digipak with design by John Balistreri (Slogun).

EMME YA - 'Beyond The Secret Flame (The Aiwass Manifesto)' CD (The Mercurius Collective)
Ritual ambient soundscapes combined with some tribal influences and completed by spoken words from Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law. This album is the enlightenment path... a magickal portal veiled through the gnostic dissolution of our most in deep essence... a voyage to inner transcendence beyond nothingness. Based on the three chapters of Liber Al Vel Legis sub figura CCXX, in which is revealed through diverse audial soundcapes and atmospheres, the revelations of Aiwass in Cairo, Egypt. When dictating the Book of the Law the three chapters converge in its own enigmatic message dressed through codified phrases and symbolic structures. The whole album is a dedication not to the Scribe (Crowley) but to the vast entity known as Aiwass-shaitan and the totality of experience beyond the complex current 93 and The Thelemic Trinity. 51 minutes of music over 3 lengthy tracks. Gatefold digifile.

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.

KENTIN JIVEK - 'Ode To Marmaele' CD (None)
Kentin Jivek is an artist from Paris France. With "Ode...", he returns to his trademark tri-lingual Neofolk style in French, English and Spanish, going one more step this time by adding German to his repertoire. He also showcases an array of vocal styles ranging from the melancholic styles of Current 93 to the straight up southern rock style of Days Of The New. Jivek showcases his skills in multi-instrumentality through guitar, piano, organ, percussion and experimental sounds. Slimline jewelcase.
Debut release from this Greek Neofolk / Folk Noir / Neo-Cabaret / Experimental act, apparently created as an homage to Current 93. Their sound has gradually changed to incorporate different music styles, playing with folk-rock elements. A dark and gloomy atmosphere, quite heavy and dramatic - at times reminiscent of Sonne Hagal or Svarrogh (who collaborates on a bonus track). Ltd x 500 copies in a luxury digipak.

NICK CASTRO & THE YOUNG ELDERS - 'Come Into Our House' CD (Strange Attractors Audio House)
Gracefully immersing 60's/70's UK acid balladry with Middle eastern traditional music and communal jams, Castro succeeds in reaching otherworldly vistas and ocean-spanning folk transcendence. The Young Elders is a truly stellar cast of musicians who played in folk and avantrock ensembles like Current 93 (Joolie Wood), In Gowan Ring (B'Eirth), Cul De Sac and Damo Suzuki's Network. A mixture of folk ballads, psychedelic folk rock, Middle eastern traditional music and Neofolk. The result being astonishing, challenging and utterly psychedelic. A modern Acid Folk masterpiece!

Pepe Wismeer is a duo from the Champagne-Ardennes region of France, who have been making their own unique brand of music since 1999. The music on this LP moves with patient strides, sometimes swelling to sudden crescendos, accompanied by electronic scrapes and coughs. A slightly damaged, spare, chamber folk-psych, whose distant cousins can be found in the darkly tender moments infused in early Psychic TV / Current 93 / Coil, or in the atmospheric postures of Antony & the Johnsons. The music is mainly structured around piano and voice accompanied by electric-acoustic guitar, bass, concrete sounds, samples, sitar, metallophone… sheep, birds, water and glass. All music was recorded on analogue equipment to add warmth to the icy atmospheres. Ltd x 100 hand-numbered copies with insert.

SCORPION WIND - 'Heaven Sent' 2 x LP (Twilight Command)
"Heaven Sent" has long been considered the "lost" classic collaboration between Death In June's Neofolk pioneer Douglas P. and Industrial Music's renegade innovator Boyd Rice. Recorded in Australia prior to the pair starring in the cult film "Pearls Before Swine", it is a unique, melodic and richly orchestrated ode to modern living, modern loving and modern hating. Joined by percussionist John Murphy (ex-SPK, The Associates, Current 93) for the first of what was to prove many collaborations between the "unregistered 3" and young Australian group Strength Through Joy (now Ostara), these recordings proved to be the perfect follow up to 1990's ground-breaking Boyd Rice & Friends album "Music, Martinis & Misanthopy". Limited edition pressed on brown vinyl. Comes with one-sided 12" sized info-sheet.
