S VREMENA NA VREME - 'S Vremena Na Vreme' LP (Atlantide)
A forgotten masterpiece of south-European Prog Folk-music! The members of S Vremena Na Vreme were the founders and leaders of the Belgrade acoustic scene. These talented guys were the cornerstone for other groups like Pop Masina, Dag, Porodicna Manufaktura Crnog Hleba and others in the early 70s. The quartet rose out of nowhere with this debut studio album (1975), full of beauty and originallity. They were not only talented players, but also fantastic composers. By using the prim and the sargija (small guitars from the Balkan area) they developed a very specificsound. S Vremena Na Vreme was not a just group whose musicians only knew how to show off on their instruments, but are also hugely accessible and appealing! If you like the Strawbs’ first album, this album will give you as much pleasure. Stunning gatefold LP, limited to just 333 copies.

S.E.T.I. & SI_COMM - 'Probe' CD (Vivo Records)
Andrew Lagowski's S.E.T.I. project teams up with fellow UK-based sound architect B.G. Nichols (aka Si_COMM) for a spaced-out disc of textural electronics. Developed around the theme of technology's fusion with biology (and DNA's inherent similarities to digital data), this journey begins with the atmospheric 'Containment State'. Later tracks sulk along with a vaguely ominous vibe, barely making their bleepy, glitchy presence known. 'Primary Impulses' sizzles dangerously like severed electrical wires, but it's not until 'Neural Separation' that chunks of skittering noise join the fray, generally shocking listeners who have become complacent and comfortable with the disc's overall ambient nature. Superb work and a joy for those interested in a more scientific approach to sound construction.
S.E.T.I. - 'Baikal' CD (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
The aural world of BAIKAL evokes a crystalline landscape full of huge and breathtaking images, guiding the listener to arcane places, lakes and steppes. This new output of Andrew Lagowski (aka S.E.T.I.) is the result of the examination of the idea of old and sunken crafts being hidden in lakes while surfacing through the water in abandoned areas where only few people would live and survive. Calm and smooth soundscapes and atmospheric synth waves loaded with digitised voices and textured layers of noises and samples. BAIKAL is another step further in S.E.T.I.'s history of deep sounding ambient music. An evolving, moving and skittering Masterpiece! Comes in a 6-panel outsize digisleeve.

S.E.T.I. - 'Corona' CD (Power & Steel / Loki Foundation)
Being active in the fields of electronic music since 1982 Andrew Lagowski started to work with his deep space sound project S.E.T.I. in 1992. Now with the fifth album and numerous other releases in between a connection is made with the first highly anticipated album KNOWLEDGE released in 1994. The new album CORONA unfolds an atmosphere that lies with the heart of the cosmos. Deep and slowly moving waves of cosmic drones, harmonic oscillations, NASA recordings and snippets of radio broadcasts creating a spectrum of pulsating and ever-evolving sound. This is research into extra-terrestrial intelligence in it's purest form. If there is something out there it may sound like this!
SABLE MOUVANT - 'Out Of The Nightmare / Back To The Dream' 7" (Autarkeia)
After his debut drone / ambient album bridge that leads nowhere, Lithuanian composer GyS produced two new especially suggestive tracks. This is a hypnotic trip to transitional states: between sleep and wakefulness, day and night. This is a travel to the twilight and its secrets, of both nature and subconscious. This short album marked by genius reminds a certain transformation. Opening with sombre anxious accords, the album ends with total immersion into the state close to deep sleep. Ltd x 257 copies on brown vinyl.
Cyclic loops based on static drones, intersected by electronic frequencies algorithmic variations of undefined sonic materials, moved by delays and landscape perspective variations recurring in space, a sequence of metallic waves in a continuous tone variation, heavy dissonance sonic stratification in progressive and pseudo-random composition / decomposition; desolate silences corrupted by resounding echoes of evolving electric rhythmic impulses. Long awaited re-issue of this unbelievable album by Maurizio Bianchi / Sacher-Pelz and Sandro Kaiser / Amun Cell, previously only available on a limited release.

Features Fukuoka on cello, violin and electronics and Sachiko's intertwined voice drones. The sound takes in the surrounding atmosphere, and is filled with passion. The first piece offers a glimpse of unbearable reality from beginning to end in threatening tension. On the other hand, the second piece, which was recorded at a performance in church E'glise Saint-Merri in Paris, is sound of prayer and was dedicated in solemn drone loops to the song 'Prayer Of A Fool' from the late Overhang Party.

SAMOTHRACE - 'Life's Trade' CD (20 Buck Spin)
Samothrace plays ultra heavy doom with harsh alcohol-soaked vocals. And yet a somber melodic sense also permeates the 4 long tracks on "Life’s Trade". Not in the overused, weepy Euro-doom tradition, but distinctly Midwestern, soulful and blues inflected. The songs shimmer with desperation, hopelessness and pain, both world weary for the plight of the oppressed and also intensely personal. The melodic interplay of guitarist Bryan Spinks and Renata Castagna is distinct in doom played this heavy and each song is meticulously crafted for maximum emotional impact. Recorded and mixed by Sanford Parker (Buried At Sea, Pelican, Nachtmystium), "Life’s Trade" rates as a stunning debut by a band soon to be on top of the doom genre.
'Pátria Granítica' ("Granite Fatherland") is the long awaited new album from northern Portuguese act Sangre Cavallum. Ten powerful songs combining heroic traditional music and beautiful Folk-ballads, sometimes even with a slight avant-garde touch.

'Pátria Granítica' is a pagan journey into the world of stones of their historical homeland Callæcia and its gods, giving voice to the traditional heritage of granite warriors.

Long after we are all dead and gone, the planet will continue to go about its business.

Devoid of any form of life as we narrowly define it, the allegedly inanimate forces and physical features of this planet possess a life all their own! Rivers, oceans, volcanoes, the wind, the rain, the drifting snow, the erosion of rock, the eruption of mountain ranges - all representative of the activity, the vitality, the life possessed by the planet! The duo that form Secret Druid Society carefully carved, moulded and eroded drones and minimal dark ambient soundscapes, finally recording what had evolved from the process, in order to tell a story not of human misery, not of an apocalypse, but of what Earth has always done and will continue to do for periods of time wholly unfathomable by the human mind.

SEELENLICHT - 'Gods & Devils' CD (Cold Spring CSR86CD)
This stunning debut release from a project of Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) contains 14 darkly satirical compositions that strip bare the mechanism of human nature and the madness of the contemporary world. Comprised of Gothic murder ballads, electronic, folk and neoclassical elements, this album is brimming with originality, enthusiasm and creativity. Guests: Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Maria Southgate (H.E.R.R.) and Eustacia Vye (Horologium). Digipak with booklet.
SEELENLICHT - 'Love And Murder' CD (Trutzburg Thule)
Two years after the debut album, "Gods & Devils" (Cold Spring CSR86CD), Butow Maler (Kammer Sieben) and Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R.) present "Love and Murder". Accompanied by psychedelic guitar riffs, this album is far more song-based than their debut and follows the neoclassical path with sophistication and dynamism. From the social abyss of humanity and bittersweet murder ballads, to dark rune-prayers and the absurdity and brutality of World War I upon the bloody fields of Flanders‚ "Love and Murder" also devotes attention to Romantic literature by setting to music the poetry of Novalis and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Guests including Dev (While Angels Watch), Josef K. (Von Thronstahl) and Wulf Ingessunu (Woden's Folk) complete the apocalyptic cocktail of darkfolk and neoclassical music. Digipak with booklet.

SEELENTHRON - 'Die Reise' CD (Heimatfolk)
"Die Reise" is the third album of the east German Neofolk project Seelenthron. Seelenthron was founded by the two basic-members of the legendary Dies Natalis and on several songs on their third album they go a new way, using Folk/Epic Rock and Alternative/Independent elements. The songs on "Die Reise" are more varied than on the earlier albums, even using electric guitars and accordions. The lyrics are filled with a deep love of nature and the band's homeland Saxony, facing very personal feelings between hope and deep despair. Digipak.
Second full-length album from the two former Dies Natalis protagonists, Norbert Strahl and Alex Meier. "Wege" is a classical Neofolk album in best tradition. Some songs mirror a sad, sometimes even gloomy picture of the world inside and outside of ourselves, other songs are just filigree Folk-ballads, as beautiful and dreamy as one could imagine. Nevertheless all nine songs always stand strong and powerful, showing a path to the listener, never to turn back and never to lose his courage. Martial rhythms drum stirringly to neoclassical compositions, united with impassionate piano and guitar playing and electronic sounds. The challenging lyrics on "Wege" deal with the stages in one's life, our path through time and the questions for the meaning and the purpose of life. Digipak with booklet.

They’re especially interested in unconscious archaic states of the mind. The two pieces on "The Lake" relate to a sacral approach of experiencing nature. When beautiful (classic?) samples are set into a sphere of extremely wide spaces and reverberation, when these clouds of sounds spread out in infinite refulgence, moving like slow surging billows, a point of utmost inner calmness can be reached.

SEKTOR 304 - 'Soul Cleansing' CD (Malignant Records)
Equipped with a frightening and impressive array of primitive instrumentation pulled from junkyards and scrap metal heaps, this Portuguese outfit has delivered an astounding debut - a heady mixture of truly old school industrial in the vein of Einstürzende Neubauten, Test Dept. and S.P.K., and the grinding, bass heavy dirge of vintage Swans and Godflesh. These are anthems to the past, but geared towards an apocalyptic and bleak future… a form of counter-culture using what is most evident in modern western society: the debris, the abandoned objects, the waste, the noise, and the interference. With a solid foundation of rusty, oil drenched percussion, Sektor 304 adds layer upon layer of squalling industrial clangor, hammering metallic noise, grimy atmospheres, heaving masses of haunted factory drones, and threatening tribal batter, with a strong and commanding vocal presence. Anyone into TRUE industrial really should not miss out. 6 panel digipak.

SETH NEHIL / JGRZINICH - 'Stria' CD (Erewhon)
Seth Nehil and John Grzinich have been sound collaborators since 1994. The exploratory focus here is the idea of resonance; the phenomenon of natural vibrations that give rise to intensified or stable structures within sound bodies and fields. The composers approached resonance in both the acoustic sound behaviour and the social phenomenon in group interaction and/or participation within the context of sound generating activities. It was again applied to the studio in the use of massive multiplications and layerings, resulting in deeply transforming, evolutionary sound fields. These pieces invite the listener to find his way through the reticulated and stratified development of a subtly unfolding, organic sound-body. Presented in a gatefold digifile.

SEWER GODDESS - 'Verdigris' 7" (Baseborn)
The bodies of two teenage girls were discovered on Sunday, July 29, 1973 on a dirt road near Coquille, OR. Both were nude and each girl shot once in the chest. The weapon used in the killings was a .22 cal rifle. The teenagers had been on a hiking and camping trip in LaVerne Park when the two met Roger Lynn Green who would later kill the two girls without provocation in a sudden and spontaneous act of violence. "Verdigris" was released on the 37th anniversary of the murders as a commemoration of sorts. The focus of this record is on the two victims Kathleen Marie Bechtel & Vicki Louise Fawcett. Fetid Death industrial. 2nd edition in a black print on grey sleeve with insert.
Two tracks of rhythmic power noise and heavy electronics. "Shadow Theater succeed where many others fail. They really go off... The track '33rpm' is angst ridden noise at its best. A merciless barrage of sub-sonic frequencies and post-industrial noise almost bury what may be a human voice. The 'B' side of this excellent study in the long-term effects of too much time alone, 'Ein Splitter Glas', presents a vocal treatment laid over a modulating noise loop... Love it" (auralpressure).

Macabre Ethereal Dark Ambient from France. The second album from Silcharde, with a style evolved towards new twilight horizons.

When the door opens, enter the torturers, sounds of beasts, crying, a new hammer crushing is our victim. The door closes and is replaced by a new sweeping environment. The atmosphere here is really oppressive. Very different from my last work, which was more shamanic / ambient, this album revives a bit of the "sado noise" of my first demo, but with the benefits of time".

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. A common thread is evident, but very individual voices are heard, leading you on an immersive, engaging journey... Ltd x 500 copies.

There is obscure and then there is Obscure. The difference is subtle, but when you hear Sink, you know the limit between obscure and Obscure has been surpassed. "The Process" is a beast that drags you below the surface and lets you gasp for air just enough to keep conscious and experience the horror. Monumental wall of sound built from demented vibrations, violent distortion, wailing feedback, reverberating clashes and almost choral (in)human voices echoing in your mind like amplified painful memories; and when the wall collapses, the undertow pulls you deeper into paranoid and disturbing surroundings filled with static drones, scorching electrical trills and gravely impressive Obscurity that defies mental health. You may never reach back to the surface. This is not a sludge record. This is not a drone record. This is not an experimental record. This is The Process. Ltd x 1000 copies in a cruciform package.

SINKE DUS - 'Akrasia' CD (Cyclic Law)
Akrasia is an old question dealing with the weakness of the will. To behave "akratically" is when one acts against his better judgement, committing acts that are known to be wrong but yet still going through with the motion. Markus Lönebrink wanted to explore not so much the philosophical issues at hand, but rather the subjective experience of akrasia itself. To learn of the underlying motives of when one acts akratically. Certain events in the akratic process felt natural to him and it was those he tried to integrate into these soundscapes. There are no conclusions described in the music, but there might be a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and perhaps the shadow of a hint of why we humans sometimes act as irrationally as we do. A shared quest to gain better knowledge of oneself through this self-revisionistic ambient journey filled with ethereally lush passages that give way to a truly visionary and immersive experience. Features a special collaboration with Pär Bostrom (Kammarheit), who also made the artwork for the textured gatefold sleeve.
Beautiful Neofolk from France. "Lust sweeps of duel acoustics of which the rhythm and melodic chords are clean and crisp, at times shining with a technical flourish. What is almost immediate with the album is the strong ear for subtle melodies that the artists are so obviously gifted with. While residing more in the genre of Neofolk rather than driven martial tones the musical compositions are deft and very well structured. The keyboard adds to lushness of the acoustics and, in places, (the accordion and harmonica are also employed sparingly and appropriately in places) which may have preempted a move to more stripped-back sounds now being explored by some long established Neofolk artists." (Judas Kiss). Reissue of the debut album from 2009 (Ltd x 100 copies), now reissued as a CD proper with white tray. Ltd x 500 hand-numbered copies.

SIRS - 'Existential Nihilism' CD (Nihil Art)
Debut CD from Polish act SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), featuring 9 tracks of nihilistic deep dark depression / dark ambient. Existential nihilism is the notion that life has no intrinsic meaning or value. This is reflected in the sick, misanthropic atmosphere of the album, exploring concepts of agony, isolation, destruction, hatred, nihilism and death. Ltd x 500 copies.
The fourth release from French experimental noisers Sister Iodine is probably the most concise and focused of the trio. Like an intense and rough attack with not much time left for the listener, here we are faced with an aggressive, joyful and violent orgy of lacerated guitars, primal and ecstatic heavy lead drums. The production is brutal and raw... sometimes pierced by electronic effects. There is an addictive phenomenon introduced by repetitive assaults, hammered in bolts.

Powerful debut of the Canadian noise project. 'Division One' is harsher and more bombastic than Harlow MacFarlane's now defunct project FUNERARY CALL. A true onslaught of Black Ambient, Power Noise and Death Industrial. This is the much anticipated album, after the well received track on our legendary SWARM sampler.
SISTRENATUS - 'Sensitive Disturbance' CD (Cold Spring CSR108CD)
Blurring the lines between Dark Ambient, Industrial and Noise, Sistrenatus storms forth, shifting between oppressive aggression and unsettling atmospheres. "Sensitive Disturbance" is the third offering from this now legendary Canadian act, whose debut "Division One" was issued on Cold Spring in 2007. An aural journey through the urban decay of abandoned factories, scorched landscapes and underground passageways. "Sensitive Disturbance" is an abrasive rendition of the industrial revolution in its darkest phases.
Finnish veterans of Funeral Doom Metal: Skepticism's album "Stormcrowfleet" is huge, like an impressive vast monument... all songs move incredibly slow and create a very dark and depressive feeling that is beyond anything you've ever imagined.

3rd full length release from this acclaimed Martin Bladh (IRM) project (in conjunction with Magnus Lindh), following two albums on Cold Meat Industry. Like previous works, "Rothko Field" is a visceral auditory experience... mind bending and turbulent sonic explorations that are grainy, abstract and tense, where uneasy frequencies intersect with caustic drones, insectile buzz, swelling drifts, and slow motion, percussion driven sludgery. "Rothko Field" is more structured than in the past, coming off as both spacious and yet suffocatingly claustrophobic, suggestive of a spiral downwards into mental decay and degradation, and further enhanced by Martin's uniquely distressed and provocative vocalizations. 9 tracks in total, broken into two "mirrored parts", with track 5, "Void" acting as the actual mirror itself.

A whole assortment of subtle electronic pulsations are concocted here by Christian Corvellec, always adequately supporting the sound fabrics woven by Martin Dumais (Aun), and which also are their starting point. A light at the end of the tunnel, penetrating different fissures along the walls, penetrating our mind with echoes. One only has to imagine a minimal tech project gone the drone-ocean way… pulsations are always there, but tinged with a sonic fog that is heavy, damp and fluid at the same time and which always suggests, in the end, uncertain twists and turns in this crossing of tunnels. Mastered by John Sellekaers (Xingu Hill, Urawa). File next to Cranioclast, Troum and Zoviet France. Ltd x 333 numbered copies in a deluxe cardboard sleeve with spot-varnish.

Limited edition Picture disc from SKITLIV, the project of former MAYHEM front man MANIAC. With a line up that includes SHINING's NIKLAS KVARFORTH, SKITLIV is a disturbed, and disturbing, blackened doom journey through the mind of this legendary Black Metal vocalist who was one of the original exponents of the genre, and is one of its most recognisable figures. This picture disc is made extra special not only by the inclusion of 'Who Will Deliver Us From Gold and Planets' by CURRENT 93 - an introductory collage destruct that was created at the request of Maniac and is dedicated to him, but also because the artwork that is used for the side containing this track is part of one of Tibet's own paintings.

SKROL - 'New Laws / New Orders' CD (Twilight Records)
The return of one of the most amazing industrial acts! The conception of of Czech ensemble Skrol arose from the visions of its spiritual father Vladimír Hirsch in autumn 1995, when he was joined by Martina Sanollová-Sweeney and Tom Saivon. Skrol employ original principles of composition, with the added depth of classical influences. Their inspiration derives mainly from Slavic melodic and harmonic systems. "New Laws / New Orders" was originally an instrumental suite of Vladimír Hirsch, created in 2000, later reworked alongside some unreleased pieces from 1996-1999. Skrol's majestic and uncompromising music is based on specific melodiousness and orchestration of contemporary neoclassical music, situated in the arch of industrial ambient and brutalised by noises and modern technological sounds. This album represents the “swan song” of the band, being its last activity. Digipak.
SKULLFLOWER - 'Carved Into Roses / Infinityland / Singles' 3 x CD (VHF Records)
Reissue of two classic Skullflower albums onto CD, with a third disc collecting four 7" singles: 'White Fang #2', 'Choady Foster', 'The Art Of', and 'Village Sorting'. Recorded together and originally conceived as a double CD back in 1995, "Carved Into Roses" and "Infinityland" find the band making a transition from the heavy riffs of their early days to a more free-form sound that continues to this day to drive leader Matthew Bower's many guises (Skullflower, Sunroof!, Hototogisu etc). Sporting a revamped lineup of Bower, Stuart Dennison, Russell Smith, and Phillip Best, the band whacks away at both styles simultaneously, with lumbering hooks meeting rainbows of coruscating feedback. The 'Singles' disc collects both sides (over 50 minutes) of the EPs that were released around the same time and made largely by the same lineup. Released in a luxury tri-fold heavy art paper folio printed by Stumptown Printers with obi strip. Recommended!

The most remorseless, brutal Skullflower ever! Alternating between granular lo-fi primitive rock and granular lo-fi primitive Power Electronics, this taut disc is a chain mail glove of hate to any lazy minds who've tainted the air with describing Skullflower as 'psychedelic'. But that's not to say this is an all out total assault. There are also moments of tender acoustic balladry, its just that they don't exist.

SKULLFLOWER - 'Orange Canyon Mind' CD (Crucial Blast)
The 2005 full length from the legendary UK free / drone / psych outfit, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that Matthew Bower (Sunroof!, Total, Hototogisu) has unleashed to date. "Orange Canyon Mind" is the follow up to 2002's awesome "Exquisite Fucking Boredom" (Tumult), and continues that album's utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity / oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. Over the 8 tracks / 60 minute running time, Bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. Superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.
A black-void beaming of utterly destroyed drone rock and crushing amplifier obliteration that rains down black ash and punishing blasts of feedback skree on the listener. A dynamic, bleary-eyed meditation. An avalanche of powerdrone that threatens to take your cranium apart and transport your grey matter into filthy new dimensions infested with melodic razor cuts and submerged mantras. A triumphant eruption of apocalyptic meta-metal and radioactive raga swarms, guaranteed to loosen eardrums. This album is one of the heaviest, harshest slabs of guitar armageddon from Matthew Bower since the glory days of Total, and bridges the void between the krautrock / celestial free drone influence of the last few Skullflower albums, and the blackened molten death of his Mirag material.
SKULLFLOWER / WHITE MEDAL - 'Skullflower / White Medal' 7" (Turgid Animal / Legion Blotan)

"Threnody For Collapsing Suns" is a triptych clocking in at over 50 minutes - thoughtfully composed; incorporating deep drones, shimmering synth work, and lamenting melodic lines.

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.

From the power violence attack of Apartment 213, to the organic power-tool assault of Lockweld, to lending noise to terrorizers like Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Fistula, he has steadily honed his approach while expanding his range. Now, with his solo concern sMakita, he joins the Housepig family and brings forth a tightly focused slab of experimental sound.

SLOGUN - 'We Human Animal' CD (Circle Of Shit)
A welcome release of brand new material from Slogun, and what a beast it is. "We Human Animal" is a scathing attack on humanity, delivered with precise, focused energy and contempt. Musically, this is a darker release, with a more restrained approach. But let's get this straight, that's strictly in comparison to some of John's other works. In reality, this is incredibly intense and sonically violent - swirling textured distortion and turbine charged electronics, with screamed, in your face vocals delivered in the classic Slogun style. Still, there's more variation here than a lot of previous works, with claustrophobically atmospheric, layered passages that make for a very complete release. Killer Power Electronics... but then, what did you expect? Ltd x 300 copies in a 6-panel digipak.

SLUMBERWOOD - 'Yawling Night Songs' CD (A Silent Place)
Debut album from this collective from the North Italian town of Padova, drawing inspiration from artists as diverse as Werner Herzog, Coil, Big Star and This Heat. From laptops to tree-tops - and mixing acoustic instrumentation with a twisted brand of psychedelia - Slumberwood developed their own musical language, brewing a weird amalgamation of sounds. "Yawling Night Songs" extracts nature’s many melodies and cacophonies to create a portrait of the heavily romanticised conception of an enchanted European wood as it exists for the youth of the 21st century. A dramatic interpretation of the woods' ambience, leaving a pretty clear sense of what’s hiding in the shadows, waiting to be found. Recorded and produced by Marco Fasolo (Jennifer Gentle). Digifile.

SNOG - 'The Last Days Of Rome' CD (Hymen Records)
Australian musician David Thrussell (Snog, Black Lung) has been active in the electro / industrial genre since 1992. On “The Last Days Of Rome” he offers subtle electronica elements with an acoustic attitude through guitars, and perversely apocalyptic lyrics. Sliding between genres, “The Last Days Of Rome” is dark, powerful and totally catchy, a sleek meaningful beast. Produced by The Calculators (The Faint etc) and featuring the voice of Royce Doherty, the collapse of civilization has never been this groovy before! Adding to the celebratory atmosphere is an extraordinary down tempo remix by UK electro legend Sir Real, followed by four acoustic tunes and finished with 'A Nation At War', a true conclusion to an album like this by a band like this. 20 tracks in a digipak.
SOCCER COMMITTEE & MACHINEFABRIEK - 'Redrawn' CD (None)
Soccer Committee and Machinefabriek's "Drawn" (2008), remixed and covered by Andrea Belfi, Annelies Monseré, Francisco López, Gary Smith, Holden Goldmund, Kenneth Kirschner, Lawrence English, Mark Templeton, Nate Wooley, Németh, Peter Broderick, Squares On Both Sides, Stefano Pilia, Steinbrüchel, Taylor Deupree, The Fun Years, The North Sea, The Puddle Parade, Tori & Reiko & Namio Kudo and Xela. Although there's a lot of different approaches on this disc, it feels like a homogeneous whole. There's intimate singer-songwriter-style tracks, as well as thick layered digital drones and raw guitar explorations... and everything in between. But there's no question that everything has a delicate touch to it, making this compilation a beautiful and exciting trip. Card slipcase with inner sleeve.

SOL INVICTUS - 'The Devil's Steed' CD (Dark Vinyl)
Sol Invictus's first outing on Dark Vinyl is a nod back in the direction to a more earthy folk sound. Taken from Russian folklore the title track "Steeds For The Devil" concerns suicide, while there are the usual happy Tony Wakeford songs. Two traditional songs get the Sol Invictus treatment - "Twa Corbies" and "Three Knights Came from the West". Philip Larkin's poem "The North Ship" also becomes the basis for one song. Artwork on this release is from Tor Lundvall, with the first Limited edition coming in a 6 panel luxury digipak.

SOLANACEAE - 'Solanaceae' CD (Heidrunar Myrkrunar)
Solanaceae is the creation of Danish artist Kim Larsen, which portrays a more psychedelic folk feeling than usually put forth in his Neofolk project Of The Wand & The Moon. However the unmistakable voice and songwriting is still Larsen's, which probably leaves this album as close to an OTWATM album without being that. 13 songs with themes of magick, woods and mysteries, mainly written and performed by Larsen with kind help and appearances by Chelsea Robb (Arrowwood), Pythagumus Marshall (Novemthree), Michael Laird (Unto Ashes), John van der Lieth (Sonne Hagal), Fenella Overgaard (Of The Wand & The Moon), Vincent Farrow (Solblot) and Anne Eltard (who appeared on the first OTWATM album).

SOMA - 'The Inner Cinema' CD (Extreme)
SOMA return with a fistful of music, having journeyed into the cinematic realms of Ennio Morricone and Sergio Leone with more than a hint of Andre Breton and Luis Bunuel. "The Inner Cinema" continues to explore the filmic qualities that made their debut "Hollow Earth" such a standout album. David Thrussell (Snog, Black Lung) and Pieter Bourke (Dead Can Dance collaborator) paint an intriguing soundscape that allows the imagination and the memories to be prompted into a vision splendid. Australian import. EXTREMELY RARE! ACT FAST!
