(2007) Due to huge demand, Loki are re-releasing the legendary "Burning Flesh" CD. The limited edition (500 copies) digipak version from 2000 collected the original 1993 tapes with added bonus material. This new version was sympathetically remastered at Secretlab in June 2007 and has new artwork. The soundscape of "Burning Flesh" is a pitch-black ambience in which peculiar sounds scramble about, igniting a rising wave of gloom, driven by the slow clatter of tribal hooves upon unearthly terrain. Highly recommended to all fans of Inade's unearthly Dark Ambient sound.

PANTHEON LEGIO MUSICA - 'Per Aspera Ad Astra' CD (Thonar Records)
(2008) Marching Drums, enchanting Flutes and Harps, epic Chorals and the strange feeling to live inside a movie which takes place in ancient Rome, somewhere between the legion’s march and the worship of a god, somewhere between Caesar and Marc Aurel, somewhere between the will for absolute power and the intuition of total decay, somewhere between history and imagination, somewhere between here and there is the Elysium of Pantheon Legio Musica and their house for all gods. Digipak.
STROM.EC - 'Divine Legions Beyond Psyche' CD (Malignant Records)
With their fifth full length CD, Finland’s STROM.ec continue to further explore the far regions of power electronics, challenging the confines and stretching the boundary of the genre, sculpting new and innovative creations that are uniquely their own. Having been under construction for over 7 years, "Divine Legions" shows STROM.ec with a majestic control of their craft, offering 8 tracks of powerful and explosive industrial music, full of volatile frequencies, brain bending, enigmatic atmospheres, hallucinatory noise, and the trademark vocal assault that few acts can rival. Presented in an 8-panel DVD-size digipak, designed by Jerome Nougaillon (Propergol), "Divine Legions" represents STROM.ec at their finest, most creative form, having reached a pinnacle in an already illustrious discography.
THE NEW BLOCKADERS / THURSTON MOORE / JIM O'ROURKE - 'The Voloptulist' CD (Hospital Productions)
Dream-team hook-up between a trio of the most important free-noise theorists of the modern age: The New Blockaders and Thurston and Jim of Sonic Youth et al. Hard to work out who is doing exactly what here - though the presence of drummer Chris Corsano on the second track is pretty unmistakable - but the overall feel is of one of TNB's early 'Symphonie X' works, populated by thin strings of feedback, the crackle of electronic jack-to-jack friction and a subtle ring of bone. Beautifully eerie and a little more pro-drone than the bulk of TNB's work. The second track is just unbelievable, with a slow hiss of feedback torn apart by Corsano's triumphal, spirit / energy scattershots, marching a legion of ghosts all the way over the horizon. Highly recommended.

THOLEN - 'Sternklang' CD (Cyclic Law)
Sternklang is the expression of the intimate encounter with the whole; the direct connection with the stars and the vast universe; the sense of complete union with all the overdimensional attributes of what surrounds us. Eisen - the man behind this project and other acts such as Sinistra (Funeral Doom) and Legion Kry (Noise / Ambient) - has given us an aurally materialised glimpse of his numerous stargazing evenings... where the soundscapes are revealed while the stars seemed to gather and sing out of their primordial and powerful environment. The darkest hour is always the one before sunrise. Presented in a foldout sleeve.
