C.M. VON HAUSSWOLFF - 'Operations Of Spirit Communication' LP (Die Stadt)
Limited repress of the classic album from 2000, which is partly based on (and also dedicated to) the work of Friedrich Jurgenson, who believed he could channel the voices of the dead onto magnetic tape or shortwave radio. The work was originally presented as a sound installation that aspired to achieve communication with other worlds utilising EVP (the installation picks up electrical and radio transmissions: microphones record the noise of electricity, sine wave tones are received, and cameras capture electric behaviour). 50 minutes of seamless dark drone / buzz, gradually getting louder and enveloping the room, even at a low volume. Presented in a stunning, heavy-weight, matt gatefold sleeve. Opaque vinyl, ltd x 300 copies.

CARSTEN VOLLMER - 'Arbeit Nummer 7' 7" (Cat Killer)
Released on Vollmer’s own label, this is a release with very little information and minimal artwork. Total relentless lo-fi noise over two tracks. Incomprehensible, dense and murderous screeching amongst thick layers of electronics and violence make this quite a difficult and claustrophobic release!

CAUL - 'Hidden' CD (Eibon Records)
Caul's fifth and possibly darkest album. A massive comeback to bleak, dense and hyper-obscure Dark Ambient: cinematic soundscapes for a never ending journey, magically crafted by a musician whose talent is immense. One single track lasting for one hour. Come to the hidden side if you dare... Presented in a stunning digisleeve.
CAWATANA / STORM OF CAPRICORN - 'Split' CD (Twilight Records)
This full album contains 5 unreleased tracks of Cawatana in a martial / neoclassical / dark ambient / military pop vein, but experimental, and an excursion into styles. Storm Of Capricorn also contributes 5 unreleased songs, in the classic military, ambient style. They also offer a cover version of the Kate’s Bush song 'Cloudbusting' and a vocal collaboration written by Kutna Hora’s frontman Gabriel Carbone. Argentinian import presented in a nice digipak.
CELESTIIAL - 'Desolate North' CD (Bindrune Recordings)
Minnesota's own Celestiial present "Desolate North" - an 8 track, full-length release. This is the vibrant pulse of the woods... the building up and breaking down of life as is exists within the crippling and organic churn of the funeral doom genre. Over 45 minutes of inspired woodland doom and ambient folk will find your thoughts with a yearning for the rise and triumph of the woodlands... the worlds glorious return to the primordial. Dark and eerie stuff. Ltd x 1000 copies.
Cellar Of Rats is the new project of Kerovnian. Not dark ambient, but a genuine soundtrack for a first-person game, very much in the tradition of film soundtrack style. The 'Scratches' Original Soundtrack is the ideal way of carrying the chilling atmosphere of the Blackwood Manor with you! "The music from the Cellar of Rats is grown in the coldest darkness of finest vinyards of Leng". Recommended!
Chandeen returns with another timeless jewel. As one of the originators of the genre that came to be known as "Heavenly Voices," Harald Löwy remains as chief song-writer and instrumentalist, with a new vocalist for this incarnation of Chandeen: Julia Beyer who lends a more fragile, autumn character to the songs. These songs sound more inspired, more intimate and yes, in some respects more mature and developed then past releases. Julia Beyer's sad, but strong voice stands in sympathetic contrast and floats in concurrent harmony with Löwy's tearfully beautiful songs.

CHANGES - 'A Ripple In Time' LP (White Label)
US Neofolk. "When the concept for this album was in its seminal stages, we came to the realization that there were several songs from Changes' earlier years which had yet to be released in any form. Some had been recorded on early "demo" tapes while others had not. Thus, it was decided that instead of using previously recorded tracks, we would return to the studio to create new renditions of these songs. Additionally, the arrangements, bridges, and harmonies were enhanced to better reflect our current style. Also included in this album are three new songs... Essentially, the album bridges the years from Changes' inception to its present incarnation." White vinyl in an embossed and gold-foiled heavy gatefold cover. Ltd edition of 700 numbered copies!

CHAOS AS SHELTER - 'Dawn Syndrome' CD (Topheth Prophet)
"Dawn Syndrome" is dedicated to the end of Kali Yuga, the age of iron, which is the final and most negative of four evolutionary Yugic cycles, the end of the world, and the dawn of a new golden age - Sataya Yuga (the age of purity). "Dawn Syndrome" is an eight-track composition of ritual dark ambient crafted in the skillful way Chaos as Shelter is known for. The usage of organic and artificial sound sources which has been his trademark. It is a hymn of submersion and rebirth, of confusion, ambiguity and enigma, of the darkest moment before sunrise.

CHARLES MANSON - 'The Summer Of Hate - The '67 Sessions' CD (Arte Lupo)
Charles Manson’s name should be no stranger to lovers of the weird and wonderful, having been sentenced to life without parole for his leadership of the cult “The Family”, who committed several murders in the late ‘60s. Before these events, Charlie had high-hopes of becoming a pop star, with his strange psychedelic folk music - bizarrely more fashionable today than ever. Here for the first time are the complete recordings that were made on 11th September 1967 in a rehearsal studio, which went onto be used as demos to try to secure a recording deal, which never happened. Spoken word elements throughout the 18 tracks (just under 45 minutes). Essential for collectors of ‘60s Folk and weird psych freakouts.

CIRCULAR - 'Shaping The Unknown' CD (Loki Foundation)
This debut defines an opulent style of meditative ambient music and celebrates the pure sound engines of perfect analogue synthesizer music. Johannes Riedel created an elegant and stylish form of drone music to build ellipses inbetween sculptures blowing through the triangular center. These aural paintings uncover sacred landscapes of drifting loops and the brilliant use of guitars to set up an unearthly visionary wall of sound. Circular's music disposes a special principle where tracks build up slowly and take the period of concentration, of taking shape, followed by overwhelming massive soundworlds from outer states. Digipak.

CISFINITUM - 'Bezdna' CD (Monochrome Vision)
The latest album of Russian based project Cisfinitum is more of an emotional rather than musical experiment. Deep and profound, it touches the darkest corners of human soul and takes it to the imaginary otherworlds. This peculiar quality of Cisfinitum music is achieved through extensive use of soviet analogue synthesizers (ANS, Polyvox, Yunost-21, Formanta amongst others), but the spiritual beauty of "Bezdna" is also created by violin and omnipresent voices. Psychoactive dark ambient combined with melodic incantations. Ltd x 500.
The fourth volume in the "Substantia Innominata" series comes from one of the best projects of the Russian experimental-atmospheric / drone / post-industrial-scene, headed by Evgueny Voronovsky from Moscow. Cisfinitum itself means the "logic of the infinite non-existence“ - that "something“ that is beyond all rational things. "Devotio" uses monumental bell-sounds and hypnotic drone-waves over various layers, dissolving into pure vibrations. A journey into the heart of the sacral, pointing at a sphere of transcendence where all questions end. Or begin again. First edition, ltd x 500 copies on white vinyl.

CISFINITUM - 'Tactio' CD (Mechanoise Labs)
'Tactio' is the live recording of a Cisfinitum concert at the St. Peter's Cathedral in Bremen, November 24, 2005. The highly favourable acoustics of this environment were consistently used not only as an enhancing effect but as an integral foundation for the performance, making it unmistakeably tied to its context. Presented in the form of six continuous tracks, the album is a contemplative composition of vibrant drones, reverberating bells and synthesized resonance, gracefully evolving from the celestial tones of its start to the tellurian pulses of its climax. This is a piece of work that is elaborate in its simplicity, and it's with much appreciation that it is presented here today. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak.
CLEAR STREAM TEMPLE - 'XVI' CD (Cold Spring CSR47CD)

CLEAR WATER - 'Time' CD (Midnight Productions / Oro Prod)
This work is about the artist's hometown - a small town in the Chinese province of Sichuan... about the memorial arch, which has stood erect for hundreds of years... the bright moonlight on the small bridge over the flowing stream... the cherry blossoms and wild flowers... the elders with their soft voices and laughing faces. 40 minutes of simple and honourable township ballads and folksongs, which have been handed down for generations.

CLOAMA & BLUTLEUCHTE - 'From Wasteland Mausoleums' CD (New Old Sentinel)
Cloama and Blutleuchte rise anew From Wasteland Mausoleums with desolate, cryptic and evocative soundscapes of the world beyond perception. Further removed from the noise and power electronics beginnings of both projects, here one finds experiments in candlelit rituals, analogisms inspired by early German electronic pioneers, voices and hauntings and crushing guitar. Melodies and raw noise inter-lap as the twin phases of existence or the primal creations of deities both wrathful and dreaming. Almost an hour of parapsychological exploits.
CLOAMA & GELSOMINA - 'The Duellists' CD (New Old Sentinel / Musically Incorrect Records)
Uncompromising Northern Darkness. Unhealthy doses of extreme frequencies and head-splitting fucking noise.

First release on this sub-division of Neuroscan.org. and a permanent new direction for Cloama? Very different than previous works, especially the most recent ‘Revisionist Knowledge’. More electro-acoustically based with layered, organic atmospheric ambience full of surreal, abstract sounds that tend to build to nice, dynamic climaxes. Sometimes droning and hypnotic, other times more unsettling and collaged in feel. On this release Cloama could happily sit beside fellow Finnish acts on the Aural Hypnox label.

CLOAMA - 'In The State Of Unbelief' 7" (Cipher Productions)
Two new pieces from Cloama at its most vehement. A savage exposition of raw power electronics, which has never been quite so overt in Cloama’s sound until this project. Notwithstanding the clear ‘80s PE influences, the production and composition are distinct, discreet layers, with the usual attention to detail giving this work flair.

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. CD & DVD in jewelcase.
