AD OMBRA - 'Rites Of Genesis (Equinox Tremendum)' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Romanian project Ad Ombra's debut album offers a suite in 15 parts of Dramatic Orchestral art, rooted in the timeless fragrance of Classical music, adorned with Eastern lullabies, funeral dirges, monumental choirs and operatic female chants, theatrical soliloquies, industrial hues of a dark disturbing manner, all coagulated in order to depict the aesthetical testimonies of the project's mastermind, George D. Stanciulescu. A spiral of emotions, thoughts, opalescent visions, essential recurrences, for Creation's shrine that stands as a living mirror where everyone can reflect the(m)selves. For fans of Elend, Stoa, Sophia and Chaostar. Digipak.
A gorgeous and exquisitely crafted abstract free noise drone record. Dark and deliriously dense, a perfect amalgamation of the experimental dronework of the Hafler Trio, the sweeping skreescapes of Sunroof! and Vibracathedral Orchestra and the abstract minimalism of Mirror or Jonathan Coleclough. As well, this has plenty of distinctly unique sonic elements. Quite lovely and sublime! Presented in a nice gatefold digifile.
This is an album about feelings. Those of you who only know Boyd Rice (NON) from his rather brutish and insensitive noise music will no doubt be surprised to discover the sensitive, at times passionate individual lurking beneath his often gruff exterior. Here, Rice opens up for us. He shares how he feels about a wide range of topics, and we bet you’ll be surprised just how often his thoughts and feelings mirror your own. “The Way I Feel” collects the best of Rice's collaborative tracks onto one album. Whether it’s with Coil or David Tibet, Douglas P. or Tiffiny Anders, every song is special, and the atmosphere is unforgettable. Comes with bonus CD-only track.

COELACANTH & KEITH EVANS - 'Wrack Light In Copper Ruin' CD & DVD (Seal Pool)
Jim Haynes & Loren Chasse collaborate with Keith Evans to create Coelacanth's 4th and most complex record. Culled from two performances, 'Wrack Light in Copper Ruin' meditates on the space of performance, the tactile nature of the creation of sound, and its ephemeral, elusive and entirely subjective character. The visuals of Keith Evans further the exploration with their organic, nocturnal, energy. More delicate than Coelacanth's previous recordings, 'Wrack Light' inhabits a space where artists such as Jonathan Coleclough, Andrew Chalk, Mirror, and MNortham can be found, yet it maintains the mysterious, oceanic nature its name implies. Features a guest appearance by Matmos. CD & DVD in a jewel case.

COLD FUSION - 'Simmetria' CD (War Office Propaganda / Rage In Eden)
Symmetry perceived as some kind of balance and harmony. Symmetry between surrounding world and its "mirror reflection", which sticks in our minds. Symmetry of left and right side, day and night, birth and death. Symmetry of buildings, objects, bodies. The fifth album from Cold Fusion reflects this theme with dynamic, marching atmospheres on one side, and melancholy and reverie on the other. A lack of symmetry or rather its confirmation? 11 tracks overall, presented in a nice digipak.
FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'The Rainbow Mirrors A Burning Heart' LP (Auf Abwegen)

MIRROR - 'Still Valley' CD (Die Stadt)
Re-release of the LP version of "Still Valley", including one extra track. One of Mirror's finest works recorded by Andrew Chalk (Ora, Ferial Confine), Christoph Heemann (HNAS) and Jim O'Rourke (Sonic Youth, Gastr Del Sol, Illusion Of Safety) between May 2002 - January 2005. This album is a beautiful study of slowly shifting drones, like a film shot in slow motion. One noticeable difference between this and other quiet Mirror affairs is the presence of oscillating pulses. These analog tones occasionally accentuate the constant guitar drones, adding a shimmery quality, rather than becoming a competing element. Edition of 1000 copies in dye-cut cover.

MY CAT IS AN ALIEN / STEVE RODEN - 'Cosmic Debris Volume II' CD (A Silent Place)
CD re-issue of the second installment in the "Cosmic Debris" split ART-LP series set up by Maurizio and Roberto Opalio, aka My Cat Is An Alien, on their own Opax Records. California visual / sound artist Steve Roden's contribution represents the unique experience of hearing him literally 'playing' guitar chords. MCIAA deliver another piece of 'cosmic debris', centered on multilayered echoes of voice, toy piano, space drones raising from a distant horizon, and their own physical gestures performed during the recording, which reproduce themselves through the air, re-play and give birth to echoes of real time that overcomes its own essence, becoming field recording itself, mirror and spectre of its immutability. Their track entitled also features Ramona Ponzini's Japanese bells contribution. Digisleeve.

SEELENTHRON - 'Wege' CD (Heimatfolk / Steinklang)
Second full-length album from the two former Dies Natalis protagonists, Norbert Strahl and Alex Meier. "Wege" is a classical Neofolk album in best tradition. Some songs mirror a sad, sometimes even gloomy picture of the world inside and outside of ourselves, other songs are just filigree Folk-ballads, as beautiful and dreamy as one could imagine. Nevertheless all nine songs always stand strong and powerful, showing a path to the listener, never to turn back and never to lose his courage. Martial rhythms drum stirringly to neoclassical compositions, united with impassionate piano and guitar playing and electronic sounds. The challenging lyrics on "Wege" deal with the stages in one's life, our path through time and the questions for the meaning and the purpose of life. Digipak with booklet.

STILLBIRTH / PRURIENT - 'The Mirror Of Purification' 7" (Semata Productions)
The first vinyl release for Stillbirth unfolds with complex guitar work, tape manipulation, shortwave radios and clever synth leads, giving 'The View Untangled' an almost musique concrete feel at times. 'Where Secrets are Guarded' brings forth new techniques in the Prurient sound. Melodic vocals mix in with pitch shifted dialogue and spiralling synth lines. Harmonic shapes take form within the electro-acoustic mist underlining this exceptional text. A work that deems repeat listening. Two innovative artists at the top of their game, paving the way - there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Ltd x 500 copies on randomly mixed coloured vinyl.

Really low-end ambient, sporadic humming pulses and blasting noise from this Danish artist (who recently released a 7" on Drone Records). “The senses are hit by a typhoon of charged electricity which sends your mind into a cabinet of mirrors where darkness folds and unfolds. The sound image presents itself as an inseparable unity in which myriads of parallel sequences are constantly undergoing transformations. Transcend through ethereal radiation!” Mastered by renowned Norwegian artist Lasse Marhaug. Nice piece!
