BAD SECTOR - 'Ampos' CD (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
A re-issue of Bad Sector’s first, and what can be argued finest, release on God Factory (the short lived collaborative effort of CMI and Staalplaat). A total classic that defined the the now trademark Bad Sector sound… evocative and highly dynamic walls of sound that rise to intense heights, breathtakingly beautiful yet hauntingly dark and emotionally draining. In addition to the remastered eleven tracks of the original version this issue includes two bonus tracks recorded with the same set-up from 1995, closing the circle on this timeless masterpiece. Digipak.
First part of a 2 CD project, revealing the interest of Massimo Magrini in the history of old soviet computer techniques and presenting 10 years of Bad Sector's creative activity. The overall tone of the music is dark and atmospheric - yet abstract and uncontrolled. This first part includes remasterd compilation tracks and bonus unreleased tracks. Ltd x 500 copies in a die-cut sleeve with booklet.
BAND OF PAIN - 'Que Amiga?' CD (Cold Spring CSR43CD)

BARDOSENETICCUBE & IGOR V. PETROV - 'The Perpetuum Mobile Space Vehicle' CD (Mechanoise Labs)
Collaborative material from Bardoseneticcube's recording sessions with St. Petersburg-based saxophonist Igor V. Petrov. Definitely one of Bardoseneticcube's most singular and musical works, with a mixture of irradiated electronics, sedated drones and urban soundscapes. Utilising saxophone as a drone instrument, rather than the usual freeform jazz you'd expect. Ltd x 500 copies in a nice digipak.
BARDOSENETICCUBE & NOISES OF RUSSIA - 'New Orthodox Line' CD (Some Place Else)
"New Orthodox Line" brings together two of the most notable Russian post-industrial / experimental groups: Bardoseneticcube and Noises of Russia. This unique collaboration brings the best of both artists to the surface, and results in an extremely powerful and intense emotional experience. The opus travels from sacral soundscapes of orthodox choirs and church bells to a more punishing end of the sonic spectrum provided by pounding rhythms and howling feedback. Here, opposites unite with passion and compliment each other for the sake of the greater good, the synergetic New Orthodox Line. Presented in a slimline square DVD case.
BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Deadhead' CD (Aquarellist / Steinklang)
First of all: Deadhead is totally different to all other releases from this great Russian experimental-ambient artist. Deadhead is simply brilliant electronic music, mixed with Neoclassical elements and Russian samples and hymns. Some tracks appear with Martial drums and trumpets, others feel more like the finnish cult-label Sähkö. Deadhead is without doubt the most musical work of Bardoseneticcube. You will be pleasantly surprised! Ltd x 500 in a 6-panel digipak.

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'Naegleria Fowlery' CD (Blade Records)
This strange and extremely varied disc opens with a track which whirls in and out of The Caretaker’s “Haunted Ballroom”-style samples with piercing electronics. Moving onwards we encounter dense rhythmic industrial pieces and experimental electronics - all the while chasing the thread of eccentric samples and searing white noise.

BARDOSENETICCUBE - 'XXX' CD (Aquarellist)
This album is inspired by the life and works of Nika Turbina - a poetess who started to write grown-up tragic poems when she was only 4 years old, with her first book printed when she was only 9 (later translated in 12 languages). After living pathologically strange life, receiving the "Golden Lion" prize, and being held in mental hospital, at the age of 27 Nika tragically died falling down from the 5th floor window. The musical dedication of Bardoseneticcube is presented in 12 untitled tracks filled with surrealistic feelings and some childish morbidity. Obscure loops and industrial soundscapes are buried under a pile of rhyme wreckage, melody fragments and almost chaotic manifold of strange sounds. Ltd x 509 hand-numbered copies.

In December 2003, Sikhara came together with Bastard Noise (Wood / Wiese / Nelson line-up) for a studio session in Valencia, California. The two groups each created the groundwork for a track, which the other played over the top of, for a sort of duality in the composition. BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations. Sikhara leant a sense of identity to the tracks with a series of vocal collages, invoking a story to accompany the harsh sound beds of BN. Surgically mixed by sonic architect Kamilsky.

BEAUTUMN - 'Northing' CD (Infraction Records)
This is a beautiful yet serious record from this Russian artist (half of Sleepy Town Manufacture). It is ambience, but not simply ambient. These are cinematic tracks begging for a narrative, often invoking the skeletons of stories with found sounds, alongside the sound of machinery. The sound is thickly layered with varied pitch tones and drones which often become so much a part of the soundscape that they become the foundation of its lushness; sometimes building tension, sometimes delivering an other-worldy, floating quality. Limited to 790 copies in a matt digipak.

BEEQUEEN - 'Gund' CD (Plinkity Plonk / Korm Plastics)
Two recordings from two vinyl projects. The first four pieces on the CD were recorded early 1998 for a 12" vinyl single on which these tracks were supposed to be cut at different speeds (16, 33, 45 and 78 RPM). Due to its complexity of pressing this record was never realised. The fifth and sixth track were originally intended to form a 10" album of a most unlikely meeting by Beequeen and MSBR. Based upon a mutual sound exchange, both Beequeen and MSBR worked independently on their pieces. The label that intended to release this, stopped while both bands were still recording. Beequeen finished their piece in 1998 and MSBR decided to do a new piece in 2001. Ltd x 500 copies in a gatefold sleeve.

With some well rounded pop songs in some places, Beequeen never forget to put in some strange elements, without leaping in the dark alley of a pointless experiment. Orchestral in 'The Illogical Song', collage like in 'The Edie Three Step' or a simple rhythm-machine in 'The Honeythief', Beequeen does all, and with great care and seeming ease.

Reissue of this 1994 CD from Beequeen, (Staalplaat, Ltd 1000). "Frans de Waard and Freek Kinkelaar convey many alternatively bleak, if imagistic, soundscapes... drones of catatonia immersed in cryogenic guitar feedback or the steamy smelt of arcane industry. Atonal occasionally, even unearthly, yet strangely accessible, these works are part of an aesthetic wherein the forging of an unfamiliar sound canvas becomes the springboard from which the listener can extract pictures, panoramas, shapes... Engrossing music that subtly leaves the impression to come back and experience it further." (The Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a 6-panel digifile. Malaysian import.

BESTIA CENTAURI - 'Teratogenesis' CD (Eibon Records / AFE Records)
Sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and the extra-human. Electroacoustic and computer music elements come brazenly to the foreground, and contribute even more so to the flow of "crawling chaos" that has always characterised and inspired Bestia Centauri’s dark ambient compositions. The genesis and development of a monstrosity is the theme of this work, which charts a course from mutated unicellular sonic DNA to the resultant life-form that reaches "from the jaws of the dragon, from the depths of the abyss". Presented in a stunning outsized gatefold digisleeve with printed inner sleeve.
BEYOND BLACK VOID - 'Desolate' CD (Marche Funebre Productions)
This is a reissue of debut release from this Belgian act. The creator, Stijn Van Cauter, characterises his musical style as massive nihilistic funeral doom and writes: "Beyond Black Void was founded mid-2002 in an attempt to create oppressive, minimalistic and very desolate music." The desolation is portrayed through long echoing guitars and heavy droning storms. Over an hour of the heaviest and most nihilistic in drone / funeral / ambient doom.

BILL HORIST & KK NULL - 'Interstellar Chemistry' CD (Beta-Lactam Ring)
KK Null (Zeni Geva) provided sonic source material which Horist then organised, manipulated & added on to. So what happened? Scrumptious musical confectionaries with surprise flavour centres! The drum machinations pound out strains reminiscent of Ikue More (ala Death Praxis) or latter day Bruce Gilbert with a bit of controlled early Nurse With Wound wail thrown. Horists' guitar techniques are exciting, weird, rhythmic. Bill has crafted a cohesive statement out of all these musical explorations, which, in many ways, smells of the tectonics of 'OG' electro-experimental records of the early 80's & late 70's.
