Through an element darkly… In the fall of 2005 Z’EV
began dipping deep into his archives and selecting recordings
to produce ‘sum things / a possible form for cold dark
matter’, a project reflecting his take on the ‘dark
ambience’ genre. Composed between December 2005 and
March 2006, these 6 pieces endeavour to transport the listener
deep into their long forgotten memories of the primal forces
at the dawn of creation. Each piece is based on a single sound
source. Absolutely no effects of any kind, not even equalization,
were applied to the source recordings. Instead Z’EV
relied solely on the stretching of the duration and pitch
of the samples and then edited and mixed the results down
into the heart of space. Hear then, the state of the art in
elemental musics. Not to forget the beautiful packaging by
artist Abby Helasdottir.

Delicate Noise return with their second CD - an honest, optimistic and weighted electronica record. The album unfolds like the telling of a dream - warm and sentimental songs wash in and out with lullaby-like melodies, augmented with disembodied voices of children playing. Evident Boards of Canada influences are apparent, with a haunting and emotional sound evoking images of old home movies... a feeling of dusk and darkness falling. Emotive and beautiful, "Filmezza" provides a soundtrack befitting an old photo of a loved one or a cherished memory with a warmth and satisfaction returning the ears to a sense of wonder.

"Oh my fucking ears, this is a nuclear migraine. Just when I thought sludge had reached its artistic zenith (or should that be nadir) I hear this. This is about as down tuned and nasty as this slothful and hateful genre can get. Thick like the thickest and hottest pea and ham soup in the world, slowly being poured upon your aching head. Surely this is the ultimate soundtrack to humankind's pitiful, cowardly, violent and parasitic history... Fistula are fucking hideous. Yay! I want them to play unannounced at a children's party, a posh one with a bouncy castle and clowns and a vicar" (The Sleeping Shaman).

FREEZE ETCH - 'Vessels'
CD (Force Of Nature)
- £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Over four years in the making and clocking in at just over an hour, "Vessels" is the first proper full-length Freeze Etch album. A dynamic excursion into a world of thick organic rhythms, striking melodic textures, and surging ambient momentum. By turns sparkling and pristine and by others ugly and smoldering, "Vessels" explores the brooding tensions between dynamically opposed auras, employing textures which are at once terrestrial and alien, as well as melodic structures which merge skilled composition with the ambiguous flood of drone.

HABSYLL - 'MMVIII'
CD (Tumult / At War With False Noise / Psychedoomelic / Odio Sonoro

- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
"Unbelievably heavy and slow amplifier overload from France! Two long tracks of uber-doom which is seemingly devoid of any coherent structure and exists only to open up a black void in your stereo speakers through which to suck out your very soul. Habsyll sound to me like a less happy-go-lucky Khanate, or Monarch without the hipster irony. Totally morbid!" (At War With False Noise).

"Saurian Exorcisms’ is the magnum opus of Karl Sanders (Nile) and every instrument present, including percussion, was performed by Sanders himself. Drawing on ancient music from around Egypt, Tibet, India, and the Middle East, 'Saurian Exorcisms' is a unique sonic journey that immerses the listener in a fantastically exotic world. "Sanders throws off any extreme music constraints and transports listeners to a world of dark, mystic soundscapes filled with ancient spirits, mind altering visions, and catacombs complex"(Lambgoat).

NADJA - 'When I See The Sun Always Shines on TV'
CD (The End Records) - £10 / £11 / £12 |
 |
Toronto ambient / shoegaze / drone duo Nadja (Aidan Baker / Leah Buckareff) illustrate their diverse roots by covering some of their favorite artists: My Bloody Valentine, Codeine, Swans, Slayer, A-Ha, Elliott Smith, Kids In The Hall and The Cure. "... more than a simple tribute album. It's one of the best Baker byproducts in years" (Pitchfork). "Nadja carve out great slabs of sound, throbbing and trudging to melodic resolution with incredible slowness, over an entire side of vinyl at a time; you want to say “tectonic” and “chthonian” but not “glacial” because the fuzz-bass is so warm, rising through your feet, and the layered drones are so disorienting" (Drowned In Sound).

PÅL ASLE PETTERSEN - 'Komposisjoner 2005-2008'
CD (Zang)
- £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
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).
|
RAPOON - 'Dark Rivers'
CD (Lens Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
"Dark Rivers is about a particular area in the North of England which stretches from the Solway Firth into the wastelands of the Northumbrian borders. This area is steeped in history and mystery. In particular, I have focused on the development of Britain's Cold War intercontinental ballistic missile weaponry in the late forties and fifties and which later became the center for Britain's space efforts... Many of the place names reflect the ancient cultural beliefs and superstitions - Black Fell, Black Beck, etc. Even today the place is wild and remote and old superstitions live on. The conflict of the ancient superstitions and the cold war paranoia is essentially what this is about. The older superstitions swallowing whole the newer age which came and went on the same dark, brooding hills. I was lucky enough to be born and grow up here and the darkness of the place is embedded deeply inside me." Digipak.

SOLANACEAE - 'Solanaceae'
CD (Heidrunar Myrkrunar) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
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). Digipak. |
SUNSET WINGS - 'Covering For Solace'
CD (Wrotycz Records) - £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
The debut album of a Königsberg band "Sunset Wings" is a wide opened window to the world of Neofolk music. Inspired by pearls of English romantic poetry together with traditional ballads of the British isles and the art of Pre-Raphaelites, this album takes you to a marvelous journey in the land of childhood dreams, sweet sorrow and melancholy. Despite the sorrow of lyrics the music of this album more often than not is rather bright and filled with sweet nostalgic melancholy. With it's particular sound and temperament, "Sunset Wings" takes it's place among famous Russian dark-folk bands, such as "Neutral" and "Romowe Rikoito". Ltd x 1000 copies in a digipak including booklet with all lyrics. |
TELEPHERIQUE - 'Slowmotion'
CD (Force Of Nature)
- £11 / £12 / £13 |
 |
One of Germany's most recognisable names has returned with another ambient masterpiece. "This CD is dedicated to all the people who try to simplify their life in modern times, marked with materialism, business, stress and sickness". The eight tracks have no titles but they are divided into three 'steps', being "Out of balance", "Down shifting" and "Fountain of flow". The whole results in a ritualistic, flowing album with moments of rhythm, ambience and complex soundscapes."

THE DIVISION - 'Mantras'
CD (Lens Records) - £10.50 / £11.50 / £12.50 |
 |
The Division is a reconstruction of ancient spells and rituals reinterpreted aurally by one of the leading dark ambient artists of our time, Matthew Schultz (Lap Report, ex-Pigface).
Schultz has delved into the esoteric and ancient fraternal order of The Division. He has reinterpreted the traditional texts and scores of the order to create a beautifully dynamic and sometimes disturbing disc that synthesizes world music, dark ambient and magick. "Mantras" is the first in a trilogy of discs that express all the aspects of The Division. Digipak. |
THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE - 'Mutations EP'
MCD (Ad Noiseam)

Improv alter-ego of the collective known as The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation. Profound and organic but dark and impressive, it is a perfect rendition of the ensemble's live shows and the proof that there is still something fresh to be done at the meeting point of post-rock, jazz and drones. The fruit of experimented and adventurous musicians' demanding work, for a breath-taking, mesmerizing experience. A deeply emotional and original trip. 38 minutes of music. Artwork by Seldon Hunt.

AS ALL DIE - 'Time Of War And Conflict' CD (Crowd Control Activities)
- £8 / £9 / £10
"Time of war and conflict" operates on a level that belongs to the darkest and gloomiest edge of the experimental-scene. With a starting point taken in the periods of world war, the music is built up around acoustical instruments played in a dark folk-style and a subdued obscure voice that reveals its background in the black metal-scene. The music is dark and slow. And to create the perfect atmosphere As All Die utilize elements similar to albums like Lustmord's "The monstrous soul" or Profane Grace's "Serenity of the endless grave"... Listeners of dark ambient and dark-folk music should be able to find the musical treasure underneath the many layers of death and tragedy..." (Vital Weekly).

DEATHPILE - 'G.R.' CD (Hospital Productions / Force Of Nature)
- £10 / £11 / £12
Deathpile's first official full length release focuses on the Green River Murders in Seattle from the early 1980's. The lyrics are written from the chronological perspective of the killer, exploring key events and balancing truculent physical situations and aberrant psychological terrain, with terse delivery. Nine tracks of dense and rushing power electronics and sado-ambient atmospheres. Fierce, verging on hysterical vocals and well placed and researched audio samples stand above thick and violent synth beds. By far Deathpile's most cohesive, strong, and obsessive work fine turned with stark violent force and ritual atmosphere. Guest: David E Williams. Ltd x 1000 copies.
