Reviews

:papercutz - Ultravioleta rmx's
Containing one song and four mixes of the same track can be a dangerous game on the value for money stakes, but this is an excellent release all in all. "Ultravioleta" is a wonderfully cut-up trip of spangly synth lines and chords with broken beats, with a massive nod towards Apex Twin, Deep Forest, Peter Gabriel and a whole host more - all in one track. It's uplifting, energising and refreshing.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_papercutz_u.htm

Art of Sampling - My Definition of Sound Vol.1
Without doubt accessible, uncomplicated and appealing from the standpoint of lounge ambience, its jazz-saturated IDM flavor riddled with formative clues pointing toward Art of Sampling's musical heritage. It is not, by any means, an album in the formal sense - it is a beat record, a demonstration, in fewer than 40 installments, of inspiration, method and product.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_artofsampling_mdos1.htm

Roel Meelkop - An Ear For Numbers
While the concept of field recordings is understandable, some may see it as a waste of time and energy unless you are going to add it to something worthwhile. This is effectively a CD of near silence - there surely has to be more that can be done with this medium?

Reviews

Marching Dynamics - The Workers Party Of Haiti
Somewhat weird, in the sense that the central idea seemed to be to kind of randomly throw 'stuff' together, and give it a nice smooth 'organic flow', "The Workers Party Of Haiti" does encompass a fairly bizarre range of musical stylings. Marching Dynamics bring together random sounds that don't seem to belong with one another and flawlessly makes them work together.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_marchingdynamics_twpoh.htm

Syn- / E.3151 - Manolo on Juliet
With "Manolo on Juliet", Syn- and E.3151 succeeded in creating a memorable and captivating experience which thrives on the listener's imagination and which can be revisited over and over again, each visit revealing and giving different meanings to the story of Manolo.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_syne3151_moj.htm

Erdem Helvacioglu - Wounded Breath
Five tracks cover over an hour of musique concrète with a quality that is quite rare. "Wounded Breath" doesn't have any boring moments at all, it is very well produced and all five pieces are very worthwile. There are sounds to explore and stories to follow.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_erdemhelvacioglu_wb.htm

Kreuzer - In Hoc Signo Vinces
Despite his relative youth, Israeli producer Arsenicum has managed, with "In Hoc Signo Vinces", to create a very worthwhile addition to the lexicon of dark and martial ambient music. Stirring, evocative and colder than a Svalbard winter, Kreuzer's debut album is off to a grand start.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_kreuzer_ihsv.htm

Alaska Highway - Closure
Not really an album with high and lows but still an enjoyment to listen. It makes you wonder what more Alaska Highway could have accomplished if this chapter hadn't been closed.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_alaskahighway_c.htm

I Am Immune - Entropy
Mixing new electronics with some classic synthpop elements and adding a generous dash of rock guitar, I Am Immune offer a strong collection of tracks for their debut release. On the basis of this, their future releases should be worth looking out for.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_iamimmune_e.htm

Kilowatts - Love On Saturn
This release doesn't really work well as an EP, because you're just left hoping to hear more of what Killowatts has to offer. While it is amusing to see someone trying to run one-too-many loops over a house beat, it isn't as attention grabbing as one might wish. Perhaps it would work as a full-length release though.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_kilowatts_los.htm

Koolmorf Widesen - Melodies Fork Now
As far as this release goes, it wanders too much in the 'just plain average' range. You'd be better off having Venetian Snares "Winter in the Belly of the Snake" on your headphones, whilst playing The Flashbulb's "Kirlian Selections" on your stereo. At the same time. Chances are you'd come close to what Koolmorf Widesen is trying to achieve.

Kirdec - Das Gemeinsame Schicksal
Named presumably after the poem by Friedrich Schiller ("Shared Fate"), this short EP from Kirdec A.K.A. C-drik presents a dark-ambient styled take
on dubstep and breakbeat.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_kirdec_dgs.htm

Sikhara - Anduni
Sikhara are by all accounts a prolific live act, and this album - inspired apparently by Armenian and Georgian culture - provided the
material for their most recent tour. While the CD is certainly intense, it left me suspecting that their brand of percussive, sweaty modern-primitivism would work much more effectively on stage.

Reviews

Kibuka - Dystopia
Kibuka is a new project from sound mastermind Dean Dennis, formerly of Clock DVA and, more recently, Nohno. A logical successor to the latter's "Metropolis" (2006), Kibuka's "Dystopia" takes the sumptuous bass and retro-electronic, tech-ambient feel of that pithy release and articulates it further. Kibuka delivers nostalgia with a 21st-century twist, and fans of early IDM and electro-industrial are advised not to let this one slip by.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_kibuka_d.htm

To Mega Therion - The Blood Rituals
As an introduction to a quite unique artist, this is really, really impressive. I suspect I would have to see them in the live arena to be able to fully appreciate some of the influences (and of course the image), but as some extreme listening this will do fine just for now - roll on the album!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tomegatherion_tbr.htm

Hoarfrost - Ground Zero
"Ground Zero" is thus a prime example of uneasy listening music - a musical representation of fallout and not something one can ever be comfortable with. It is thought provoking and unsettling, and this is why Hoarfrost may never be hugely popular. If anything, "Ground Zero" is anti-ambient. Instead of creating atmosphere, it entirely destroys it.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hoarfrost_gz.htm

Lingouf - Area Keloza
With "Area Keloza", French hardcore/gabber artist Lingouf joins the ranks of the Ant-Zen catalogue. Recognized for his unique sound within hardcore and breakcore categories, Lingouf's Vincent Ingouf is a competent visual artist as well, reflected both in the subversively cartoonish and imaginative album artwork, and in a fascinating website full of clever animations and hidden puzzles.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_lingouf_ak.htm

Wolfskin - O Ajuntar Das Sombras
There is little to fault on this album, perhaps only a slight lack of originality common to many artists in various genres, as well as a small degree of repetition throughout, but the overall album is very well executed and an enjoyable listen. I would certainly be interested to hear more from this intriguing artist before he calls it a day, and I'd recommend this album to any dark ambient fan looking for some 'new' artists.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_wolfskin_oads.htm

Candiru - Piscatorial Terror
Even though it's sort of fun to listen to, in a high school rebellion sort of way, one has to question the wisdom behind afflicting the public in general with further offerings from an act that has, up until this point, hardly created a stir within either the industrial or death metal scenes, despite a number of split and solo releases over the years.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_candiru_pt.htm

V/A - Manoeuvres 2: A Collection of Vancouver Electronica
It isn't often that you run into an album that you can't seem to dislike, even when there is nothing special about it. This album is worth listening to - and you will find yourself doing just that, again and again. It is a charm unique to albums with this distinction and is not unlike comfort food. However, just like mother's cookies, you find it a pleasant experience, but it may be lacking in anything nutritive.

Releases

K'teus - Audio Hypersigil 1 (The Awakening)
Part 1 of the "Audio Hypersigil" cycle by U.K.-based d'n'b/breakcore/industrial project K'teus.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/releases/n_cb010_kteus_ah1ta.htm & download

Reviews

V/A - Emerging Organisms Vol.2
This release as a whole is an absolute joy, and it certainly shows Tympanik as one of the major labels to look towards for consistently interesting and varied releases. It's also good for those of you who may have become a little jaded with electronic music in general; if this is the standard we can be expecting now and in the future, then you have no reason to worry.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_eo2.htm

Mika Goedrijk - Pellicules
Although it is probably closer to electronica than the output Goedrijk is known for, "Pellicules" is so beautifully conceived and executed with such precision that it draws the attention. Deceptively addictive, this album really is a cohesive exploration of a concept that couldn't be further from the collection of discarded ideas or sounds if was conceived from.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mikagoedrijk_p.htm

This Morn' Omina - Momentum of Singular Clarity
With this release a lot of people will focus on the vocal element as it's a really rather unexpected addition; although the tracks without vocals show more interesting range, one can see the "Momentum" tracks being very popular. It's interesting to see that This Morn' Omina have stepped out of their comfort sound and tried something different, something which will most certainly work well in a live setting.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_thismornomina_mosc.htm

V/A - Get A:Head
"Expect the unexpected" could well be the motto for the Mash Up Records label and artists collective and their new release, the 5-track 12" compilation"Get A:Head" illustrates this quite well with a music selection that some would consider paradoxical.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_gah.htm

Contagious Orgasm - One Drop Water
Whereas Japan is often more well known for its impossibly extreme noise scene, certain bizarre artists such as Contagious Orgasm have been operating for many years, throwing all manner of unexpected sounds into highly unique and often very infuriating compositions. But there comes a time when it really doesn't hurt to reign in those indulgent excesses and write some tunes, all within an experimental context of course.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_contagiousorgasm_odw.htm

Mobthrow - Mutant Dubstep Vol.3
In short, while it may not save what was a passable series of releases, this is a highlight and a more than acceptable conclusion to it. Perhaps it is a herald for future work by Mobthrow including, hopefully, a full-length release...
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mobthrow_md3.htm

l'Ascenseur - 40 Below
It could just be that he's been working on this first release for some time, honing each track until he's satisfied, but he does manage to avoid the pitfall, to which many electronica artists fall prey, of having common instrumentation running throughout. On "40 Below" each track is an entity in itself, not really part of a larger picture, and this is possibly the most positive aspect of the record.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_ascenseur_40b.htm

U.S.O. Project - InharmoniCity
For technicality, "InharmoniCity" is quite the achievement, and U.S.O. richly deserves any and all accolades they receive in this category. As far as simple listening pleasure goes, however, they fail miserably. This lack of accessibility to the public at large makes "InharmoniCity" an entirely personal achievement, and one that will probably never receive the attention U.S.O.'s far-reaching, progressive vision could.

Interviews

Laurent Perrier - Sound On Probation
Some labels exist essentially as a vehicle for the output of a single artist and his several project. To date, that is the case with French label Sound On Probation owned by Laurent Perrier. In the 80's and 90's Perrier was part of the industrial projects Nox and Cape Fear and ran the Odd Size label, more recently he is known for work in the field of choreographic music and for releases under the names Zonk't and Heal.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_soundonprobation.htm

Reviews

Lingouf - Kovoclak
Somebody once described this album as sounding like 'a pack of fluffy but insane bunnies armed with steak knives while high on speed & LSD going on a murder spree - sort of an even more twisted version of Happy Tree Friends'. A fitting, and perhaps hard to top, description.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_lingouf_k.htm

MCKMN - Orphan Ristophe
This is a debut album, so of course there are a few elements, such as mixing and production, that could be refined and developed in future works, but without a doubt "Orphan Ristophe" is a solid debut. If you like sad/cinematic/melodic music and/or trip hop, but you like upbeat, um, beats, then you should check this out.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mckmn_or.htm

Fractional - Still Life?
Each track plods along somewhere between whimsy and melancholy without ever really breaching the boundaries of either. With the short track lengths (nothing makes it to four minutes), there is not much time for building or evolution. I'd say the biggest flaw here is that none of the tracks really go anywhere. It's just a collection of sort-of-interesting-sounds that play for a while and then stop.

Reviews

Aidan Baker & The Infant Cycle - Rural Sprawl
Powerful and inspiring, "Rural Sprawl" is the kind of music you'll want to get lost in, not in the sense of being "lost" but rather allowing these stunning pieces to flow through your entire body, seeping into the unreachable corners of your mind, and enabling you to float away on whatever implausible daydream you care to have.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_aidanbakerinfantcycle_rs.htm

Prometheus Burning - Plague Called HuMANity
From the first awed glimpse of Paul McCarroll's surreal cover art to the initial throbbing anguished moans of "The Box", this latest album from what are quite possibly one of the most exciting acts in industrial and electro music today leaves the listener with some fairly high expectations. Expectations that are, for the most part, fulfilled very well.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_prometheusburning_pch.htm

Keef Baker - Pen Fifteen
Where "Pen Fifteen" experiments largely with combining various forms of guitar and electronica, "Light City" is more for the electronic purist and no-holds-barred after-hours fun. If "Light City" is representative of his live appearances, Baker must deliver some interesting sets with a careful balance of furious rhythms contrasted with gentler tones.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_keefbaker_pf.htm

Blindhaed - Whether That Will Make People Want To Become Archaeologists, We'll Have To See
Twenty minutes of highly artistically responsible sounds, which is for some people more interesting than for others. The guts it takes to release a single-sided LP in the era of CDs and MP3s is extremely praiseworthy and a larger future is ahead of this Belgian/Indonesian collaborative effort.

Reviews

Tonikom - The Sniper's Veil
Tonikom's sophomore release on Hymen Records, "The Sniper's Veil", is a wholly satisfying exercise in breakbeats. Most everything appearing on Tonikom's latest shows fantastic cohesion, simplicity, musicianship and, it must be said, an intriguingly feminine essence.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tonikom_sv.htm

Necrotek - Menschfeind
It must also be said that this album is perhaps something of an anomaly - one that wears its influences so obviously has no business twisting new and interesting sounds from such familiar raw materials in such style as this. As a result - particularly if you hanker for the days of industrial of the old school - this is an intriguing and essential purchase.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_necrotek_m.htm

the Gothsicles - Sega Lugosi's Dead
If you can leave all seriousness behind and enjoy "Sega Lugosi's Dead" for a really fun CD that doesn't mind poking fun at just about everything, then you'll love this latest offering by the Gothsicles. It's sheer genius in stupid form!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_gothsicles_sld.htm

Amesha Spenta - Amesha Spenta
"Amesha Spenta" as an album is relentless, even in its ambient passages, and however sedate the bpm might be. It is dense, secretive, and part of a floating realm, suspended between the occidental and oriental with chime-like melodies and shivering tones, supported by spine tingling beat structures.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_ameshaspenta_as.htm

Sister Loolomie & Kryptogen Rundfunk - [w]interloop[s]
Each track plods along somewhere between whimsy and melancholy without ever really breaching the boundaries of either. With the short track lengths (nothing makes it to four minutes), there is not much time for building or evolution. I'd say the biggest flaw here is that none of the tracks really go anywhere. It's just a collection of sort-of-interesting-sounds that play for a while and then stop.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sisterloolomiekryptogenrundfunk_w.htm

High Wycombe - Reverser
If you like Haujobb's eclecticism, chances are you'll appreciate "Reverser". Otherwise you'll at least admire the astonishing exercise of faithfully integrating some strongly contrasting influences into one polished product.

Reviews

Anhedonia - Ontology
"Ontology" is a gorgeous piece of work, with massive emphasis on mood, but its presence is somewhat muted and tentative, hardly as sure of itself as previous works. A pity, really, because this is one talented artist indeed, and this recording doesn't quite fulfill expectations based on his previous offerings. It's still very good, though, just difficult to listen to.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_anhedonia_o.htm

Kryptogen Rundfunk + Hladna - Rokton + Formanta
This work's final result are three long untitled tracks, meditative and disturbing at the same time, which will please all the lovers of the ambient-noise and drone genres - all those who enjoy good sound design more than any kind of enchanting melodies or pounding beats.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_kryptogenrundfunkhladna_rf.htm

Niko Skorpio - Psylocibe Necrophilia
Based on a pretty unusual concept: the raw materials used for all of its tracks are old tapes of the artist's early bands from the 80's (essentially heavy metal demos and live bootlegs), which have been completely destroyed, cut, re-edited and processed to eventually obtain some brand new material, which absolutely doesn't sound like heavy metal anymore, but more fits into the dark ambient and drone genres.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_nikoskorpio_pn.htm

Taphephobia - Anomie
On one side of the coin they hit the nail on the head and are gripping, intriguing and magical; on the flip side they drift a little too much into the mundane and dull. The best parts of this album, however, do make up for a lot of their failings.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_taphephobia_a.htm

Ministry of Rites - Grid
When Ministry of Rites do get it right (and they have the ability), it is genuinely engaging and listenable; it's just that fifty percent of the time they just seem to faff about too much. Something for those with very eclectic tastes that disappointingly just comes somewhere short of approaching other audiences and fails.

Amesha Spenta - an interview with Sebastien Béné-Le Touarin
A newcomer to the French label/collective Audiotrauma, Amesha Spenta welcomes the listener into a universe of distorded progressive electronic music with ethno-cultural references to the Zoroastrian religion of ancient Persia.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_ameshaspenta.htm

Reviews

Cisfinitum - Nevmenosis
Voronovsky describes his music as 'metaphysical ambient', a description which may not be that off the mark if one is to judge by this release. Throughout "Nevmenosis", Cisfinitum manages to convey a feeling of timelessness and distance, showing the listener hints of a greater whole and different perspectives which could not be described in any other way but through music.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_cisfinitum_n.htm

v4w.enko - Harmonic Ratio
Nothing about "Harmonic Ratio" suggests any kind of harmony, in a conventional musical sense or otherwise; this is a decidedly uncomfortable, nerve-wracking experience. But then you consider Kvitnu's slogan: "High Blood Pressure Music" and realise it's not meant to be calming.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_v4wenko_hr.htm

Murder By Static - Danceland Dead
"Danceland Dead" distills the love one may (or may not) have for late-90s jungle, and filters it through a more updated feel. While one may have a hard time remembering the individual tracks, it's a great album to listen to as a whole and highly recommended for dicing vegetables or angering your neighbors while drinking your morning coffee.

Reviews

Kreuzer / Surma - Viltis
As far as dark ambient music goes, "Viltis" is perhaps one of the most exciting and stirring releases in recent times, despite the relative freshness of the two talented producers it showcases.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_viltis.htm

Orchestramaxfieldparrish presents ÆRA - To the Last Man / Index of Dreaming
Themed around memories and dreams respectively, this double pick up on themes from Fazio's Orchestramaxfieldparrish neo-classical ambient project, with an emphasis on the droning, textural electronic elements of his music; both discs exhibiting short spells of more immediacy and anxiety, appropriate for the differing moods and emotions that can be associated with memories or dreams alike.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_orchestramaxfieldparrish_ttlmiod.htm

Totakeke - The Things That Disappear When I Close My Eyes
The most (guilt-free) enjoyable aspect of this album is its use of dissonance (whether intentional or not) and of atonal arpeggios. At its stronger moments "The Things That Disappear When I Close My Eyes" has a slight Anton Webern feel to it.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_totakeke_tttdwicme.htm

Terra Sancta - Disintegration
Acceptable, unfortunately, is not synonymous with memorable. In an aural universe built primarily out of drones and wind sweeps, it is easy to travel the route of convention and fall prey to mediocrity. In Terra Sancta's case, the addition of epic orchestral tones would transform this musical one night stand into a stand up release. For now it remains a cocktease.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_terrasancta_d.htm

Nommo Ogo - Space Cross
An experimental project with a fondness for acoustic instruments, abstract soundscapes and drones, Nommo Ogo is a collective of multi-sensory artists and musicians with, interestingly enough, Alaskan origins. In addition to their recorded material, core members Djynnx Ogo, Eyebrane and Higerous Johannes view the performance of their live electronic and electro-acoustic music as an essential characteristic of their work.

Reviews

Connect_icut - They Showed Me The Secret Beaches
Over the course of his several releases Macklin has developed his own sound, utilizing instruments processed through Max/MSP. He has become adept at making the electronic sound and feel very organic which is why, in a world of plastic-sounding computer music, this is something very refreshing to listen to.

Flatline Skyline - All Sound / No Vision
A multifaceted album that confronts listeners with pop tendencies, taking inspiration from the sharp beats, brimming bass and lyrical delivery of indie rock's more electronic leanings, and similarly finds substance with a blended new wave versus old industrial feel. Flatline Skyline overall benefits from its oddly familiar genre-bending forms and passionate articulation.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_flatlineskyline_asnv.htm

Rubik - Carrion EP
"Brevity is the soul of wit" is a saying that also applies to small bite-sized releases like this limited edition three-track 12" by the relatively obscure London-based artist Rubik. "Carrion EP" is one of those things that have a touch of the unexpected, hinting at a lot of potential and quite a few ideas, but pretty much stopping short of giving away the artist's failings.

UberByte - Dos
"Dos" may not be clever, it may not be original and it may not be the best production quality available in an oversaturated genre, but it is fun. This is musical entertainment for those of a darker bent, but not too dark to preclude having a sense of humour.

Bella Lune - Abstracted Visions
Pleasant and quirky as it may be when one begins to listen to it, halfway through chances are that the listener will get a nagging feeling of déjà vu. And here lies the main problem with this release, a definite lack of variety - something which might not be such an issue if this had been released as an EP.

Reviews

:papercutz - Lylac
Very much recommended to those with a taste for electronica or pop music with a twist - pop music doesn't have to be the cheesy stuff you find on the charts; sometimes you get albums like this, filled with melodies, rhythms and vocals, that uplifts, inspires and somehow restores a little faith that music can still surprise you and still give you something new. Sweet, soothing and intoxicating...
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_papercutz_l.htm

SE - Epiphora
With an altogether ethereal feel, this isn't like clear-cut IDM, as instruments aren't buried under a slab of unintelligible glitches - in fact, it's the glitches that take a back seat and lets the instrumentation take you somewhere different. An absolute must have for those with a Gridlock-shaped loss in their lives, and for everyone else, this is just recommended to show you that electronic can be tear-inducingly beautiful.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_se_e.htm

Coreline - Bone and Blood as Stone and Mud
It's sometimes been hard to reconcile the two facets of Chris McCall's output - the seemingly ultra-serious music and the joyously insane live shows. But here, somehow, we may have the missing link at last. Like some kind of mad scientist (or inventor?) anything that may work is hurled into the mix - presumably from a safe distance just in case it blows up in his face - and it's to his immense credit that the vast majority of these ideas actually work
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_coreline_babasam.htm

Cyclotimia - Music For Stockmarkets
A challenging soundscape with some excellent moments of chill, dark electronica featuring the unique sounds of vintage Soviet equipment and field recordings. It's like the reserved, avant-garde cousin of Oil 10, the guy that sits in the corner somewhere on the edge of serenity and anxiety while everyone else is out back having a beer.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_cyclotimia_mfs.htm

Surma - Allocutio
Surma's initial foray into the desolate world of martial ambient electronics, on the split EP "Viltis" (shared with fellow Eastern Front grouch-merchants, Kreuzer) was exciting listening, hinting at a potential far beyond the pedestrian doom-and-gloom peddled en masse by similar artists in the genre. Thus, the debut album, "Allocutio" has more than its fair share of hype to live up to...
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_surma_a.htm

Aphorism - Surge
Fresh from Chicago comes Aphorism's "Surge", a conventional electronica album that somehow fell in with a bad crowd and came out reeking of industrial and IDM fallout. While it may not be the most exciting release within the darker side of technoid, Aphorism's "Surge" is nevertheless worth listening to.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_aphorism_s.htm

Noises of Russia - Experimental Structure
Documents a live performance by Noises of Russia in St. Petersburg and a musical departure from the death industrial commonly associated with Noises Of Russia - offering instead improvised collages of field recordings from nature, treated instruments, shamanistic chants and sparse industrial noises. Together they form a soundscape which conveys an impression of the performance as a very esoteric experience.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_noisesofrussia_es.htm

Samarkande - 3 Synapses
Samarkande are introduced on their website as an apparently experimental group that create by way of improvisation, and to "break the rigidity of electro-acoustic and electronic music". Quite what the latter point means in practice is a difficult one to answer, it seems.
