KAAOS IN ECCENTRIS / LIDDIKOATIGHT & LEIF ELGGREN - 'No-One Takes One Too Free / Trapezoid' 7" (Some Place Else)
Kaaos in Eccentris - on this session Mockingwyrd, Ovro, Niko Skorpio and Ibrahim Terzic - create an oddly trance-inducing, almost groovy piece that limps forward powered by the combination of hypnotic bass and crackling rhythms. Liddikoatight is a new Japanese band with Kouhei Matsunaga among others. Leif Elggren, from Sweden, has worked with sound and performance art since 1980 and has a long list of releases, books and live-performances under his belt. For this record, Liddikoatight and Leif Elggren collaborated via telepathy. Mix of the results form the track Trapezoid. Ltd x 500 copies with gatefold sleeve.

RALF WEHOWSKY - 'The Pleasure Of Burning Down Churches' CD (Black Rose Recordings)
The title of the CD dates back to the mid 90s when RLW was travelling around Vietnam and met an American veteran soldier. He talked about the churches he bombed during the War, with great enthusiasm and was extremely pleased to show him some of the ruins... leading to the title of this work. RLW utilises his trademark electro-acoustic sounds alongside field recordings, musique concrete, industrial, microsounds and improv. Features Kouhei Matsunaga. Digipak.

VA - 'Drinking The Goat's Blood' CD (Record Label Records)
Focusing on sound design and atmosphere, consider "Drinking The Goat's Blood" experimental, but not in the typical sense of noise, ambient or improvisational music. Rather, it is a series of often disparate elements that have been lovingly arranged and ritualistically hewn into a seamless psychedelic pastiche. The cast: 10-20, Ata Ebtekar, Candle Labra, Claroscent Dray, Column One, Contagious Orgasm, Dalglish, Fluorescent Grey, Jacob Jarnigon, Koyxen (Kouhei Matsunaga), Mike Dunkley, Nommo Ogo, Sean Niesen, Senryl, Tomoroh Hidari, Upside Down Umbrella, Wisp and Wobbly (2 tracks).
