ANDREA MARUTTI - ' The Subliminal Relation Between Planets - Live In Archiaro' CD (Nextera)
All music performed and recorded live by Andrea Marutti in Archiaro (Catanzaro, Italy) on August the 24th, 2007. "[Marutti] operates in the area that we could loosely identify as drone music, or ambient, but... this is of a much darker nature altogether. It's hard to tell what it is that he does; be it synthesizers, samplers, computer processing or just tons of sound effects, in the end the effect is a seventy-minute opus of dark, utter dark electronic music. The planets mentioned in the title may give away some of some of the darkness, and perhaps its all too easy to say that its pitch black as the stars by night, but on christmas eve, with stars bright and almost full moon, these sort of references may count. Think Lustmord meeting Mirror, the darkest fantasy of Klaus Schulze or such cosmic hero from yesteryear, and Andrea Marutti is your man" (Vital Weekly).

COLIN POTTER & THE HAFLER TRIO - 'A Pressed On Sandwich' CD (Nextera)
In 2003, shortly after attending The Hafler Trio performance in Preston called 'How To Slice A Loaf Of Bread', Colin Potter suggested that the two should work together. With McKenzie being in Iceland and Potter being in Preston, a tête-à-tête was not easy. Andrew McKenzie mailed Potter the original source material for the concert, which he happily reworked into 'A Pressed On Sandwich', creating a dark, detailed soundworld that shows off both musicians' approach to drone atmospherics. The CD is packed in special paper wallet with silver print, and is released in an edition of 1010 copies, with the usual exceptional artwork from McKenzie. A solid addition to both The Hafler Trio and Colin Potter discographies.

MATHIAS GRASSOW & JIRI MAZANEK - 'Inner Path' CD (Nextera)
"Inner Path - the idea of combining pure hand-played acoustic instruments with modern electronics, samples and nature sounds. With a spiritual sight behind, Inner Path is open for free direction and interpretation nevertheless, with a strong focus inside ourselves by considering the existence here on earth as ONE of many journeys back into the inner light. This work is a remembrance...“

OOPHOI - 'Upuaut' CD (Nextera)
"Upuaut“ is the unique, 65+ minutes long composition recorded by Italian drone-ambient musician Oöphoi featuring Amir Baghiri and Mathias Grassow. For the first time since it was created in 1999, "Upuaut" is finally officially and properly released. Fully re-mastered, repackaged, including the great pyramid chamber updated diagram and liner notes from the Egyptologist Dr. J.J. Hurtak, "Upuaut" is one of the most profound, magical and sonically improved releases from Oöphoi's extensive discography.
After their acclaimed debut collaboration "Celestial geometries", Italian sound sculptors Oophoi and Tau Ceti are back with the long awaited second CD "Subterranea", inspired by a book about the myth of Agharti, the hidden realm located in central Asia. Vast sonic explorations with synths, flutes, stones and shells, ranging from subtle and mysterious atmospheres to highly dynamic passages, describe this out of reach underworld. The last part of the long suite "The chamber of eternity" features the unique sound of the Tibetan singing bowls of Klaus Wiese. After the outer space adventures of their first CD, "Subterranea" deals with the inner space. Ltd x 1000 copies.
