ANDREW LILES - 'In My Father's House Are Many Mansions' CD (Fourth Dimension)

App (Ext), Jonathan Coleclough, Nurse With Wound, Paul Bradley, Ruse, The Hafler Trio, Unsong and Vidna Obmana. "It is interesting to note that as much as these tracks are made by individual artists with individual styles, this CD still sounds as a coherent project, which makes for enjoyable listening and is probably why this is released under the name Andrew Liles. Another intriguing and highly enjoyable addition to the already impressive Liles-catalogue" (Vital Weekly).

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'Dead Of Night' 7" (Dot Dot Dot Music)
Founded in 2005 as an exercise in minimalism and as a conscious counterpoint to the refined complexity of vidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning has gradually turned into a musical meditation on purity and subdued power. As part of this transformation, the guitar has evolved from a mere instrument into a veritable shamanic tool for trance. In a sense, Dirk Serries, who has held a deep fascination for the subtle power of drone music ever since embarking on his personal odyssey in 1984, is returning to his roots here: FFB presents listeners with a primevally physical experience that is in turns contemplative, rhythmically agitated and thunderous. Ltd x 300 copies on purple splatter vinyl.

FEAR FALLS BURNING - 'Frenzy Of The Absolute' CD (Conspiracy Records)
On this album Dirk Serries (Vidna Obmana) blends his drone spectrum with slow repetitive drums (with drummers such as Tim Bertilsson / Switchblade and Magnus Lindberg / Cult of Luna), and additional guitar layers, manifesting a work of mysterious landscapes of ghostly echoes and whispered guitars, long stretches of blissy drift and dark washes of distorted hiss... Over the past 2 years FFB has manifested itself as a wilful and unique statement in the ever expanding drone music genre. Digipak.
