ANDREW LILES - 'Ouarda (The Subtle Art Of Phyllorhodomancy)' CD / DVD DualDisc (Dirter)
Recorded in London, Paris, and Sicily "Ouarda (The Subtle Art Of Phyllorhodomancy)" is a travelogue that refuses to stay stuck in any one place for any extended period.

Obscure, accessible, incomprehensible and exceptional, "Ouarda" is testament to the breathtaking production talents of Andrew Liles, arguably the most vital and original soundsmith of recent years. Side one of this disc is an audio CD including an extra track and slightly remixed version of the LP. The other side of the disc is a DVD which includes - "Ouarda (The Subtle Art of Phyllorhodomancy)" - Colin Potter Version (A film by Michael Tang with musical adaptations by Colin Potter), " Old Tom's Marrow" - A film by Andrew Liles, plus truly amazing 5.1 mixes by Freida Abtan of 3 tracks.

APOPTOSE - 'Schattenmadchen' CD (Tesco Organisation)
Schattenmädchen ("shadow girl") has always been around, waiting patiently for seven years to step out of the shadows and reveal its face. Apoptose's third album explores dystopian locations: the undergrounds of Japanese megacities, the depths of worldwide data highways, the nightmares of little children. The 7 tracks express images of a desolate and dying world, far removed from the solitude of the beloved Northern woods. A world lacking daylight and oxygen. A bleak vision of reality. Over the years, several of these tracks made their way to compilation CDs and have now been rejuvenated and renamed especially for the unique listening experience of "Schattenmädchen". Features Kenji Siratori on 3 tracks. Housed in an embossed 6-panel digifile with booklet.

COLLAPSAR - 'Beyond The Event Horizon' CD (Malignant Records)
Malignant presents another rising star within the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar. With their debut CD, Collapsar transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic, expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility within these realms, but there is no light - just massive, pulsating textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves, and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord etc. In 6 panel digipak, with design by eyelyft.

LCHM - 'Terra Australis Incognita' CD (La Esencia)
Debut album from LCHM, inspired by the short stories of Jorn Riel, a Danish writer who lived for 16 years in the most isolated and impervious areas of Greenland in the early 20th Century, at close quarters with the hunters who originally lived there. With this work, LCHM has tried to recreate, by means of sound, the lights and shadows of these great and unknown men who lived extraordinary experiences by relying on their own forces alone, on their adaptability and on their will to survive in an age when you didn't have much to begin with. LCHM was born out of a passion for audial research, the study of human psychology, and ispirations drawn from several esoteric practices. Deep and wide sounds, bright and obscure, unique and full of nuances. LCHM conceives and records all of its material using sounds captured in nature, in unusual places, or created using other instruments. Digipak.

The Italian electronics maestro seems to be still going strong after around 30 years with his latest release. Opener 'Ortini' is like the hazey recollection of a long train journey being put through an analogue filter bank. 'The Inflammatory Sesor' has a kind of feeling of nostalgia or distant memory that recalls William Basinski or The Caretaker. 'Oigada' sounds like two decomposing tape loops slightly out of sync creating a disorientating phasing effect. There are some very absorbing sounds here to get lost in.

MOLJEBKA PVLSE - 'Lode Lvx' 7" (Drone Records)
For some years now Stockholm based artist Mathias Josefson has delighted the drone scene with his highly minimal excursions into drone territory. From harsh noise to soft and gentle ambience, the aim is to reach a basic level of sound conscience. In doing so the "human mind" and the "sound mind" interact to build a symbiotic entity. "Lode" and "Lvx" are great examples of breathing drone structures which seem to be derived from real string or wind instruments. Harmonic and mysterious, dense and aspiring... this is indeed music like a lode of illumination. First edition of 300 copies on black vinyl with silk-screened, embossed covers and an inlay.

His ambition was to make an acoustic album of minimal drone music without any musical instruments. Moljebka Pvlse set up long nylon strings across his entire studio, which he then plucked and bowed and recorded with his favorite contact microphones on that very night. These recordings became the basis of the album and set the tone for the rest of the work. Features Japanese artist Michiko Kashiba. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.

MUSIIKKIVYORY - 'Tulemme Sokeiksi' CD (Ektro Records)
"Tulemme sokeiksi" ("We're Becoming Blind") is a retrospective CD by Musiikkivyory ("music avalanche"). In addition to being a curious chapter in the endless saga of the post-punk era, this DIY document is also one of the finer, more elusive threads of the cassette-culture scene. Originally issued in 1981, Musiikkivyory's two tapes were the work of Mika Taanila, a 15-year-old who would grow up to become an internationally acclaimed filmmaker. This CD features the key tracks from those micro-edition recordings. Musiikkivyory's output is typical of the early 80s raw zeitgeist, but with a timeless, teen-anguish twist. Taanila heartily embraces punk's total do-it-yourself ideal, yet his style is light years away from the conventional guitar groups of the day: Atonal riffs, home electronics, randomly cut-up radio sounds, noise and primitive industrial weltschmertz blend into a rough, highly personalised whole.
NADJA / BLACK BONED ANGEL - 'S/T' CD (20 Buck Spin)
A monumental cross-continental collaboration between Canada's prolific neo-doom duo Nadja and New Zealand's pitch black droners Black Boned Angel. The two 20+ minutes tracks contained on this self-titled collaboration have a less accessible vibe then the Jesu-like track on last year's 'Christ Send Light' EP. There are no vocals to be heard. They are comprised in equal parts of Nadja's fuzzed-out, lurching and hazy dream-doom, and BBA's razor-sharp metallic riff-shards. Extended passages of riff-static noise bleeds one track into the next while deep space eerieness looms ever present in the shadows. Finally the whole thing collapses under the weight of its own self-created black hole. This is the end. Digipak.
NORDVARGR - 'Helvete' CD (Eternal Pride Productions)
The newest creation from Villa Bohult, the Nordvargr family burial vault. This time the "cursed poet" Wrest from the USBM Leviathan and Drakhon (Beyond Sensory Experience, MZ.412) have joined the night sessions of the never sleeping Swedish zombie. It would be totally insane to be waiting for something life-asserting, light and positive for the three of them. "Helvete" is just the overwhelming Darkness and the ice-cold all-filling Terror. Meditative and sinister Dark Ambient rhythms are filled with the ominous whisper of Wrest and Drakh. Deep and lengthy drones as well as the charming atmosphere of the Swedish industrial decadence. At the end of this trip all of those nostalgic for the times of the "Burning The Temple Of God" MZ.412 will be fully rewarded for all the years of waiting. Digipak.

A compilation of Pettersen's electro-acoustic compositions executed within that four year span. "Each work is put together from processed field recordings and tapes of his home-made instruments, not that you'd know it when faced with this near-stony, unfathomable and slightly chaotic abstraction. More often than not I feel like a small pebble rolling down the side of a glacier as I listen. Some composers in this area can't help but look for natural rhythms as they assemble their found materials, exploiting the natural warp and weft of the sounds like rings inside a tree trunk. Not Pettersen, who seems determined to refuse any sort of structural sense in favour of the random and the organic" (The Sound Projector).

Beautiful album from this dark / ethno-ambient / drone project of Robin Storey (Zoviet France). This album is about yearning. That aching emptiness that still exists when all rational processes have been exhausted. The unobtainable, all consuming and immaterial. The irrelevant and the irrational.

This music belongs somewhere. Late summer afternoons, English pre-twilight and the old house that could do with some work. You walk along the edge of the lake and catch the scent of jasmine.

Savaging Spires have created a world of sound where old ghosts can walk freely through these sunny grounds and impart equal doses of dread and joy. Whistles, strings and choral vocals.. work songs for the dead... wonderfully melodic songdreams... stuttering feedback... hazy music box melancholy... a gentle reverie of harmonica and slide guitar. One of the most evocative records you're likely to hear this year. Outsize hardback digisleeve.

SIMON WHETHAM & FRIENDS - 'Meditations On Light' 2 x CD (Monochrome Vision)
In 2009 Simon Whetham was commissioned by painter Kathryn Thomas to compose a surround sound composition and installation to accompany her Darkspace project, a series of paintings inspired by the infinity of the cosmos, which was exhibited as part of her biggest solo exhibition to date, 'Lightyears'. The composition was mixed down to a stereo version, mastered by Scanner, and released on Simon's own label, Traceable Echoes, for the exhibition. Simon reworked the raw materials of 'Lightyears', as he felt the brief was very restrictive, and wanted to hear the results of using the same material without these constraints. He also offered the opportunity to artists, who produced their own characteristic interpretation of the composition: Christopher McFall, David Wells, Fourm, Iris Garrelfs, John Kannenberg, Lawrence English, Maile Colbert, Mise En Scene, Philippe Petit, Richard Lainhart, Scanner and Yann Novak.

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - 'Dead Weather Machine Re:Heat' CD (Manifold)
There's a good story behind this disc. Why a simultaneous release of two SRF discs so closely related? Originally conceptualised as a 100 copy only disc to go with a special limited edition of Dead Weather Machine, Manifold commissioned Sleep Research Facility to create a single hour-long track of total dark-ambient drift based on the original material. To put it plainly; when we got this master, we were blown away and realized this was too good to let slip into obscurity. It would be a shame to keep this from being available to all people who seek out the best in dark-ambient and drift. Engaging, emotional and worthy of listening to ten years down the road. This is roughly an hour of slowly changing, deep, meditative drift based on the Dead Weather Machine source materials, in a slim, lightweight package. Think of it as a companion disc. So here you are, an option that you really shouldn't pass up. It is unimaginable that anyone that likes dark ambient to not like this one.

The 4th album by Norwegian dark ambient act Svartsinn shows a more melodic yet rather obscure side of the artist. This new musical journey from Pettersen deals with sadness and melancholy, about not knowing one's place in this vast and at times uninviting world, how it can become a daily torment to not be able to find one's reason to exist. And it's also about finding one's personal path, finding ways to endure and hopefully transcend these engulfing life challenges. The double CD includes a unique collaboration track with Dahlia's Tear and a 10 Year Anniversary bonus disc containing exclusive remixes by: Triarii, Kammarheit, Letum, Life Toward Twilight, Gustaf Hildebrand, Tenebrious, New Risen Throne, MGriffin, Visions and Hovmod.

Tethrippon is the chariot of Apollon Hellenic God of light. Burning like the desire of a proud man for universal harmony and beauty, it rides eternally the skies.

Tethrippon’s composition and poetry bring warmth to civilized and delicate hearts and a nostalgia for what is missing from a romantic man’s internal search for an ideal world. Inspired by "Hellenic learning" and dedicated to the holy memory of our glorious forefathers. Rest in peace in the eternal skies!

YEAR OF NO LIGHT - 'Ausserwelt' 2 x LP (Music Fear Satan)
Year Of No Light have recruited two new thirsty mercenaries to their line-up: Shiran, of Uber-doom combo Monarch! and Mathieu, of deviant-electronics act Aeroflot. Out of their cave, they crept into an old theatre to record these 4 tracks, catching every possible vibration of the trembling frame of this enlivened new mansion. All the energy collected there forms "Ausserwelt", the sophomore album of Year Of No Light. Mystical emanations flow out of these riffs colliding into each other to an in ear-splitting shriek. Cranked amps and molested drums hurl their mourning chant as a choir intoning its final psalms at the dawn of the Last Judgment. Year Of No Light follows the path opened by "Nord" towards more sombre psychedelics, creating its own blend of black metal, sludge, drone or any other influence marked with the seal of darkness. An ambiguous electrical network of acting singularities, now ready to afford the collective metaphysical crash to come. Ltd x 500 copies over two slabs of black vinyl in a superb gatefold sleeve.
