Reviews
V/A - Rush For Black Celebration - Russian Industrial Depeche Mode Tribute
As far as tribute compilations go, the Russian music collective kultFRONT can be said to have hit the nail squarely in the head with their industrial tribute to Depeche Mode, epitomizing what music tributes should be - manifestations of new artistic paths made possible thanks to the inspirational work of the artists being paid homage.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_rfbc.htm
b°tong - Structures[/i]
b°tong has successfully juxtaposed, combined and shifted between a duality of opposing concepts. At times, this is clearly recognizable but eventually - beyond the clichés - one ends up unsure of which of two opposites is really at hand. Along with a fair potential for listener immersion, "Structures" has some discomforting and exciting moments to offer.

Andrew Sega & Reagan Jones - Iris
Now separated by a few thousand miles, with Jones remaining in Texas and Sega in Chicago, they put their heads together to answer some questions regarding their history, influences, new material, and attitudes on running one's own label.

Reviews
Standeg - Ultra High Tech Violet
Despite these similarities with their alma mater, Standeg show enough of their own creativity and expertise to make "Ultra High Tech Violet" a winner in its own right. This is the real dark side of the force, and it's excellent. If it wasn't for the over-dependence on their previous successes as a foundation element of Haujobb, "Ultra High Tech Violet" would be perfect.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_standeg_uhtv.htm
Die Baader-Meinhof Gruppe/Red Army Faction - Die Baader-Meinhof Gruppe/Red Army Faction
While quite a few people would certainly beg to differ, it would seem that at least one good thing came out of Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof's 'career' if, through their actions and ideology, they managed to inspire the creation of a piece of work such as this album.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_baadermeinhofgruppe_dbmgraf.htm
Knar / Mr. Genetor - Split CD[/i]
Whether viewed as a holistic entity or as individual offerings, Knar and Mr Genetor have created one of the better examples of contemporary noisy IDM available today.

Connexion Bizarre was updated on January 19th with quite a bit of new content, including a new online compilation release. A quick overview of this week's update:
Webcast: "People Theatre @ Connexion Bizarre" with music selection by Peter Rainman & Eric S. of People Theatre and "Hip-Hop Special" with music selection by Machinochrist
Release: Various "You Are Here: a compilation of Illinois Electronics"

By the way, I will be travelling in the next couple of weeks. Despite trying to have some update material ready in advance (namely webcasts) to have things running in auto-pilot as much as possible, there may be a couple of delays with updates. Things should be back to normal after my return.

Interviews
Keef Baker - Slowly turning Mr Snugglebunny's Happy Paradise inside out
Since his debut release in 2004 of "The Widnes Years", Keef has gone from strength to strength in his music, and has now reached album number four in the form of "Pen Fifteen" - a double album laced with extreme b.p.m. counts, strange track titles, and 60 minute dancefloor-friendly anthems, amongst the gorgeous downtempo electronica Keef has become renowned for in the last few years.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_keefbaker.htm
Reviews
Protoplasmic Reversion - Sunken Temples
The strength of "Sunken Temples" lies within its ability to take me on a sonic journey from frozen barbarian lands to zombie infested arid wastelands, to ziggurats abandoned by civilizations, past all without resorting to relying on instruments typically associated with such places. Proving that the sense of dread and isolation has accompanied mankind since the dawn of time.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_protoplasmicreversion_st.htm
Körperwelten - Avatars Of Rape And Rage
Listening to "Avatars Of Rape And Rage" it falls a little short of the product Folkstorm and NTT fans may be awaiting. There is a vague feeling that the personalities of Nordvargr and Leech cannot be heard as vividly as on their respective solo releases, giving the impression of some new and separate project of just above average quality.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_korperwelten_aorar.htm
Techny-Call X - Evolution
Coming across originally as France's answer to Rammstein, this electro-metal-industrial outfit is actually fairly good at what they're doing, despite the fact that it has all been done before. And, sadly, it was all done quite some time ago.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_technycallx_e.htm
Blipvert - Stop:Stronk:Explode!
Words that immediately spring to mind when describing Blipvert are disorientating, experimental and varied. Other words would be irritating, boring and uninspiring. But take a moment to appreciate the album's artwork, which is suitably disturbing and sinisterly whimsical enough to garner it a special mention.

Skyd - Pharmafabrik
Despite being active for over ten years, Pharmafabrik does not have anything ressembling an extensive discography. It is, instead more a case of focus and quality over quantity as its releases show and a label geared towards the vision of its creator, a vision that can be understood through these label's sampler compilations.

Reviews
Ovro - Revisited
Ovro is very good at maintaining her anonymity, perhaps to retain focus on her music, only choosing to release new material from time to time. However, the music she does release keeps a watchful eye on quality. "Revisited" is an absorbing re-imagining of the "Estraier" EP with great depth that reveals new facets on every listen.

Steel Hook Prostheses - Atrocitizer
The music contained in "Atrocitizer" stands out admirably above over-used power electronics imagery (photos of tortured prisoners, disabled children, etc) and shows some interesting variations away from the typical sounds of power electronics alongside a strength of performance which viciously beats down much of the competition in the genre.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_steelhookprostheses_a.htm
V/A - Electr-Ohm Compilation 2
Inami again produces an excellent collection of experimental electronica from a collection of lesser known artists from the Japanese electronic music scene. An interesting compilation of tracks that takes in abstract, glitch, rhythmic, ambient, noise and experimental aspects of electronic music at various points along its journey.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_eoc2.htm
Shadow Theater - Live in Kaiserslautern
A disappointing offering. Unless you were lucky enough to experience the actual event, or one similar to it and are looking for some tangible memorabilia, this is not a disc worth owning. It does not do Shadow Project, or their unique artistic vision, any justice whatsoever. It is poorly filmed, recorded and produced.

Interviews
C-drík a.k.a. Kirdec - an interview with Cedrik Fermont
A Belgium based musician, producer and sometimes gig organizer and DJ who started to record industrial and noise music in 1989 with the band Crno Klank and since then played in many other projects and under different names and collaborated live or studio with many artists, in many styles such as electro-acoustic, noise, improv, digital punk, breakcore, electro and dark ambient.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_cdrik.htm
C-drík - Syrphe
Syrphe (and Textolux) is a small label owned by C-drik (Crno klank, Ambre, Kirdec, Axiome, Tetra plok, Elekore and many others). It is mainly focused on electronic, experimental and noise music (in all meaning of the word) coming from all those lost islands the West seems to ignore: Africa, Asia, the Middle-East (...) but also C-drik's own productions.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_syrphe.htm
Reviews
Metaform - Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants
While five years in the making, "Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants" arrives as a soulful and decidedly charming journey across decades of musical innovation that defines the true essence of a great electronic record. Admittedly this is one of the coolest albums to have been released in quite some time. Fans of DJ Shadow, RJD2, U.N.K.L.E., and even Four Tet are sure to fall in love with this release.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_metaform_sotsog.htm
ESA - The & The Silence
Decidedly an intense release, "The Sea & The Silence" isn't an easy ride, but it is immensely satisfying and entertaining, and perhaps it will give rhythmic noise the shake-up it desperately needs. One can only look forward to seeing what ESA comes up with next.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_esa_tsats.htm
Zero Degree - The Inner Realm
"The Inner Realm" is an well rendered and mesmerizing release that should be able to bridge the gap between a number of electronic music styles and draw in fans because of its excellence rather than its strict adherence to any narrow categorization.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_zerodegree_tir.htm
Heft vs. Scaffolding - We Will Diminish
Both artists are faultlessly professional, and the label deserves credit for putting two very leftfield tracks on the same release as two much more conventional slices of DJ fodder. And then giving it away for free...
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_wwd.htm
Phragments - Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood
As a well-refined performance of Phragments' trademark musical styles, based for the most part in sombre dark ambient building to more bombastic martial classical passages with forceful industrial touches, "Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood" is arguably one of the best ways to capture an effective sense of the immense tragedy that is genocide.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_phragments_esnctb.htm
Cacheflowe - Cache, Stacks & Queues EP
Hailing from Colorado, via the Plastic Sound Supply label, CacheFlow makes hip-hop-tinged dubstep, avoiding the dirtier fringes of that
genre in favour of more rounded analogue-style sounds and futuristic IDM glitch-beats.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_cacheflowe_csq.htm
Hansel - Reshaping Linear Formulai
Hansel show some very real promise here, there are some fantastic tracks available here, but I'd like to see them focus on their more digital hardcore sound, rather than try and mix it up with their slightly more restrained fare. It's enough of a taster to make me want to go check out their other stuff though, and that's good enough for me.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hansel_rlf.htm
MMMF - In The Lab
MMMF characterizes itself as "never boring or foreseeable", and its musical methodology is something of an electronic melting pot, filled with sharp layering. If their music may be described as a bit conventional and whimsical, it's because "In the Lab" seems to be just that - superficially simple tracks with titles to match.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mmmf_itl.htm
Combichrist - Today We Are All Demons
The fourth full-length from prolific producer Andy LaPlegua's electro-industrial incarnation, Combichrist, is nothing like what it could be. If it were a beverage, it would be Combichrist Lite - half the sleaze, none of the conviction.

Les Forces Alliées - Les Forces Alliées
L'oeuvre bruitiste tente d'annihiler l'influence de ces oeuvres qui offrent des espoirs vains pour dévoiler une oeuvre qui est la matérialisation d'un désir puissant et libère son producteur de sa condition d'homme-machine et réaffirme, contre tout un monde, son humanité et rend l'espoir possible, mais pas un espoir à venir, une espérance, mais le constat d'un espoir dont on rend compte par l'oeuvre elle-même.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_lfa.htm
Reviews
no Xivic - Yksityisyys
Three years in the making, "Yksityisyys" is a mercurial set of seven compositions upon which Kyllönen has instilled a careful architecture in both form and color. Using a mixture of drone work, found sounds, fields recordings and musique concrète, he has generated an auditory experience that surpasses standard visualizations of reality, instead nullifying worldly imagery and emphasizing emotional perception and vision, organic duality and density.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_noxivic_y.htm
Caustic - This Is Jizzcore
Love him or hate him, you have to respect Matt "Caustic" Fanale. He is doing what he enjoys, for himself, not catering to the whims of an excessively fickle audience. And, what's more, he's doing it with style. "This is Jizzcore" may not be the most political, nor even the most conceptual album that the contemporary industrial scene has spawned, but it is easily and undoubtedly one of the most entertaining.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_caustic_tij.htm
Dalglish - Ideom
In all "Ideom" is a very challenging CD, but a complete one at the same time. It all works so well together that it is hard to pick out specific tracks to listen to - it demands your full attention. Anyone into the darker side of electronic music would be wise to go and buy this. Recommended for those who like to be scared by their CD collection.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_dalglish_i.htm
Alfredo Costa Monteiro - Anatomy Of Inner Place
Each track acts as an aural snapshot, evoking an almost voyeuristic feeling, tinged with the uncomfortable thought that this could be a recording of your own home. The layered sounds are alien, jarring, becoming almost unbearable, then fading suddenly to nothing... and the silence they leave behind is deafening.

Reviews
CJ Borosque + Robert M. and INSTAGON - Beautiful
"Beautiful" is a 3-track release by CJ Borosque + Robert M. and INSTAGON. The first two tracks being of the harsher noise strain and the last one a lot more "mellowed out" and tending toward darker-feeling ambient rather than straight-up noise.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_cjborosque_b.htm
Inversion Effect - A Brief History
"A Brief History" is a befitting title for Inversion Effect's debut album, which contains material recorded over three years of studio sessions, rehearsals and live performances. A digital-only release, it is best described as (dark) ambient, drone and experimental, with plenty of attention given to gazing into static noise and abyssal space alike.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_inversioneffect_abh.htm
Alter Der Ruine - The Giants From Far Away
Noncommittal, good for a few laughs and brashly obnoxious. In fact, it's a great backtrack for the kind of parties you feel guilty about attending afterwards, which is most likely exactly what Alter der Ruine set out to achieve with "Giants From Far Away". Grinding beats and rough as hell. What more could you actually want from modern industrial?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_alterderruine_tgffa.htm
Ensslin - Holocaust In Heaven
"Holocaust in Heaven" leaves the listener with a similar feeling to what one experiences when seeing Guillermo del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" for the first time: the soul thrills to the fantastic beauty it is confronted with, but at the same time recoils from the chillingly horrific aspects contained within the visuals.

Interviews
Shane Talada - Marching Dynamics
Los Angeles' Shane Talada has gone by many names in electronic circles and has just released his second Marching Dynamics album, the cryptically titled "Workers Party of Haiti" on the celebrated label Hymen Records. Some questions, digging up a little information on Talada's process, his influences, and why he's changed names over the last few years.

Reviews
The Other Colors - 361
A bold, intelligent and complex album that manages to retain its highly melodic and easily accessible pop music sensibilities throughout - bound to appeal to such wide a range of audiences as fans of bands such as AIR, Björk, Pivot, Portishead, UNKLE, Saint Etienne and even Mogwai. There's so much mainstream potential in this album that The Other Colors really deserve all the attention they can get.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_theothercolors_361.htm
The Synthetic Dream Foundation - Behind the Gates of Horn and Ivory
Administering a daily dose of "Behind the Gates of Horn and Ivory" can negate losing complete faith in the existence of people who mastered the fine art of creating the perfect medium between infectiously catchy electro beats and hauntingly ominous melodies.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tsdf_btgohai.htm
Synapscape - Again
"Again" is definitely one of the better-constructed industrial records released in recent times. For the most part, it will satisfy raging beat addicts, but there is enough substance in its technicality to maintain interest amongst those who prefer to listen than to dance.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_synapscape_a.htm
V/A - Pangaea Noise - an international compilation
"Pangaea Noise" is what the name indicates, a compilation of international experimental and noise sound-art - a rather interesting and varied one at that. Noise aficionados will be right at home here, but others may find it a bit hard to get into, though nothing that being open-minded won't help.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_pnaic.htm
Igor Stevanovic - Devil's Night Jazz
As a first taste of Igor Stevanovic's work, "Devil's Night Jazz" is sure to be, at least, a piece worthy of curiosity for some, and it does open a few interesting possibilities for sonic exploration.
www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_igorstevanovic_dnj.htm
Blue October - Walk Amongst The Living
"Walk Amongs The Living" is quite a mixed bag of tunes, with a range of different sounds covered, some more successfully than others, but most of the complaints might be more about taste than objective criticism, so do check Blue October out if you like your synthpop.

Interviews
Jason Hollis - Endif
Avoiding clichés and touching on several experimental electronic music genres, Endif's music is hard to categorize. Extremely energetic, it is detailed in the extreme and the result of a seemingly perfectionist approach to sound creation and composition, an approach which combines technical proeficiency and unrestrained but methodic experimentation, the result of which is truly unique.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_endif.htm
Reviews
Skinwell - Tunnels
A tension-filled combination built from heavily manipulated layers. There are sounds for which the origin leaves a lot of room to be discussed, and at other moments, heavy guitar-drone layers, which bring back memories from Maeror Tri of the noisy output of Troum. This is an album that does not have one boring moment, because every track has something different than the others.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_skinwell_t.htm
Conure - Stream
This new release from Californian musician Mark Wilson is basically focused on his work with soundscapes and noise manipulation more than on any kind of musical composition work as one may understand it. More ambient noise oriented and rougher than his previous works it proves Conure as one of the numerous projects that deserve some enthusiasm in a noise scene that becomes richer and richer these days.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_conure_s.htm
Stendeck - Sonnambula
Some albums prove that you don't necessarily have to sing or to write lyrics to tell stories through your music; instrumental tracks can become as descriptive and touching as songs. With "Sonnambula", Stendeck brilliantly succeeds in this endeavour. Without a doubt, here comes one of the 'not to be missed' records of this year's beginning.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_stendeck_s.htm
Waste Disposal Machine - Interference
"Interference" is not the easiest album to listen to. It's soft, unobtrusive and beautifully put together, but it slides past your senses far too easily. However, once you've taken yourself in hand and forced yourself to pay close attention, you realize just how good it actually is. It's actually a bit of a paradox - it's so easily accessible that it just ingratiates itself into your daily personal soundtrack without leaving a ripple.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_wastedisposalmachine_i.htm
InnerPartySystem - InnerPartySystem
InnerPartySystem is an American quartet from Pennsylvania that has just released a self-titled debut album. Singer Patrick Nissley appears to be as involved in the programming as band-mates Kris Barman and Jesse Cronan, and together with drummer Jared Piccone, they all seem to do additional vocals, which probably makes them a tight unit. They claim to be an electronic rock band, and once you hear their album you understand why.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_innerpartysystem_ips.htm
V/A - 12. Elektrisch Festival
It all comes down to three distinct target audiences that will get this album: old-school EBM, people that attended the actual show and want a keepsake, or die-hard collectors that want to show off their hand-numbered copy from a limited run of 500 discs. If you're really just in it for the music, though, one would suggest individual albums over this compilation, purely thanks to the low-quality sound reproduction.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_12ef.htm
Snareburst - Alpha Demo
It's its attitude which brings Snareburst down from really solid, well-produced intellectual dance music, in the vein of Autechre, to the level of merely standard, technically adequate electronica fare. It feels unapproachable, elitist and overly intellectual, without enough pure creative passion to carry the music to an emotional level in the listener.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_connecticut_tsmtsb.htm
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.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_rubik_c.htm
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.

Interviews
Kibuka / Nohno - an interview with Dean Dennis & Jose Snook (part 1)
Kibuka is a new project from Dean Dennis & collaborator Snook. Dean is known for his work with Clock DVA, TAGC, Sector & most recently Nohno. Kibuka provides an outlet for the more beat driven and anti-social side of the artists' personalities and stylistically it draws upon Dennis' earlier work with Clock DVA and early Sector.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_kibuka_1.htm
Reviews
Angina P - Sensitive Files
The only downside to the IDM-influenced melodic breakeats of "Sensitive Files" is that most of the tracks use almost the exact same formula so it can start to feel a bit repetitive. Nevertheless, this is quite a good record.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_anginap_sf.htm
L'ombre - Letting Go At The Steering Wheel
Solidly composed and very mature, something that which is lacking in similarly styled recent recordings by other authors and in other labels. If you like melancholy, jazzy, melodic IDM-type music, and want to hear that occasionally mixed with power noise for some reason, then you will enjoy this record.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_lombre_lgatsw.htm
A Wake A Week - Little Black Cloud
All in all, a very impressive album and hard to find fault with it. The only complaint might be that after the first few listens it isn't memorable enough, but then it's so enjoyable and rewarding when playing that it's clear repeated listening is the only advisable course of action!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_wakeaweek_lbc.htm
Mandelbrot - Evolution
A fitting tribute to the great great scientist and man that was Charles Darwin and to his work - a fine piece of modern ambient electronica, offering greater rewards with deeper investigation and enquiry. Why not make this album part of the soundtrack to your research?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mandelbrot_e.htm
V/A - United Vol.II
It is a sad thing, indeed, when such unheard levels of homogeneity within one genre are reached that a compilation CD could very well pass itself off as one artist's work. "United Vol II", the latest label sampler from the German NoiTekk label, manages somehow to pull this off, though.

Interviews
Swaying In Thisbelief - an interview with Peter Vanek
Peter Vanek (or Peter Van Ewijk to his friends) is a man of many guises. Many may already be aware of Kilowatts & Vanek, his joint project with Jamie Watts, but there's a whole lot more to this man ranging from his own solo material to Dutch cabaret through to a Mediterranean influenced new music project
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_petervanek.htm
Summer Rain Recordings - an interview with David Holmes
Summer Rain Recordings, established in the summer of 2007, is a record label with a difference. Every artist signed to the label donates a minimum of 5% of their royalties for every release to NextAid, or a charity of their choice, and we match their percentage donation from the label profits from the release.

Reviews
Psychic Space Invasion - Transitions
It's hard indeed to describe, or review, what would be termed 'dark ambient' in its purest form such as this. It ebbs, it ebbs some more, and doesn't really flow anywhere except at a glacial pace. It starts out inaudibly, takes nearly two minutes to be heard... But then, when you have forty-one minutes for the single track, why rush things?

Reviews
IP Neva - Symbiosis of Contradictions
Without a doubt, "Symbiosis of Contradictions" is a superb release and, if one is to judge from it, Ivan Prokurin is an artist definitely worth looking out for in the future (whether as IP Neva or by any other alias). Also, as a first release for the young Greek label Impulsive Art, this album raises the bar pretty high for upcoming releases.

Laurent Chambert - Eurêka
I really liked listening to "Eurêka", from beginning to end. It somehow captivated me, because it was so nicely mixed and has a fluid sequence that actually proves the artist's ability to manipulate ambient drones, textures, some little beats and some percussion elements layered with nice, chilled synths, as well as proves his ability to vary sounds.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_laurentchambert_e.htm
For Greater Good - For Greater Good
It is clear a lot of effort has been put into this album, and as a result it contains many accomplished and enjoyable pieces of music. But over the full album, For Greater Good appear to cover slightly too many bases, sounding like two or three related projects, and at times certain unsuccessful experiments seem to bring quality levels down slightly.

Reviews
Hecq - Steeltongued
"Steeltongued" is one hell of a release. Hecq has earned himself a place amongst the ranks of Autechre, Squarepusher and Boards of Canada, both in terms of ingenuity and songwriting skill.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hecq_s.htm
T/M/K - Need the Needle
For a first contact with the music world of T/M/K (as Textbook of Modern Karate), this was a very unexpected and rather pleasant surprise. "Need the Needle" is one of those releases that in addition to sounding genuine are bound to have some sort of mainstream appeal as well. Easily one of the standout albums of 2009 and a project to keep an eye out for in the future.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tmk_ntn.htm
Tapage - Fallen Clouds
No time is wasted, resulting in an absorbing listen that demands - and gets - your attention for the whole time. Not an album to buy for calming background music, as while on the surface it sounds like it would be, it is nothing of the sort. Instead it is worth investing hours in listening to this a few times to begin to reveal the delights contained within, as it certainly won't work its full magic the first time around.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tapage_fc.htm
Fujako - Landform
Together, producers Jonathan Uliel Saldanha (a.k.a. HHY) and Nyko Esterle (a.k.a. Ripit), having purportedly sequestered themselves in a mountain studio in Portugal, engendered an unforgettable exegesis of post-hip hop norms (if such exist) and pushed the envelope for this genre with startling ferocity. "Landform" won't disappoint.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_fujako_l.htm
Hyios - Consuetudines
Once again, here rises a promising newcomer in the dark ambient/drone scene. With "Consuetudines", his debut album recently released on the US label Malignant Records, this artist from Leipzig, Germany, proves that Hyios is a name worth remembering.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hyios_c.htm
Pandora's Black Book - Black Brothel
Unmistakably urban, "Black Brothel" is an album with a story to tell, a story which takes place between dimly-lit, smoke-filled basements, littered with the remains of cigarette ash and last week's spilled whiskey, and the dark corners of a delirious mind plagued by creeping paranoia. It is the aural equivalent of a post-modern noir thriller.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_pandorasblackbook_bb.htm
Tyske Ludder - Anonymous
While the "SCIENTific technOLOGY" EP was undeniably political in nature, "Anonymous" seems likely to tread on less toes - especially in non-German-speaking countries, where the majority of people won't have the faintest clue of what they're singing about... In all, it's a far more accessible album, and one that will undoubtedly garner further well-deserved recognition for Tyske Ludder.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tyskeludder_a.htm
Black Lung - Full Spectrum Dominance
Perhaps what's most refreshing about Black Lung is Thrussell's lack of interest in following musical trends. He has always set his own agenda without any regard for what's zeitgeisty in the wider world of electronica, and that, along with the jaw-dropping clarity of production, gives Black Lung a certain timelessness.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_blacklung_fsd.htm
Horchata - Acytota
A sixty minute powerhouse fashioned from juxtaposed synthetic and organic sounds that don't fall prey to the clichés commonly associated with field recording. Horchata might not be the easiest flavor for your aural palate to digest, yet it's precisely what differentiates it from the artists that suffer from terminal blandness.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_horchata_a.htm
LAN Formatique - The Sadness of Distances
Definitely not the music for the impatient, but for those who see themselves on a journey after a magic stone that will save the civilisation from the creatures that hunt them day and night, desiring their souls. A word could describe the whole of this album: epic.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_lanformatique_tsod.htm
Accomplice Affair - Samotny Horyzont
If you are into ambient textures, nice and lightweight sounds that could actually lift you from the ground if you get into it for too long, then it's great stuff. My suggestion is to turn on the Discovery channel and watch the fish swim through the sea, sit back, put Accomplice Affair on the headphones and enjoy total bliss as it drives your mind into the ocean.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_accompliceaffair_sh.htm
Exocet - Grotesque Consumer
In terms of genre, Exocet operates a subtle blend between rhythmic industrial/power noise and electronica. One could say this has been done many times before by other acts in this scene, but Exocet can be said to really have a trademark sound of its own.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_exocet_gc.htm
Hyperdriver - Naked Aggression
In spite of the angry, unapproachable name of the album, there is nothing here that doesn't cause a minor fit of the giggles. More often than not, it's a case of you going, "What the hell am I listening to?", but it's all entertainment in the purest sense, distracting you momentarily from the drab mediocrity of everyday existence.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hyperdriver_na.htm
Sleepchamber - Sorcery, Spells and Serpent Charms
Where the music is left to find its own way, to focus on the disorientating swirl of layered sounds that radiate and evolve out of each other, Zewizz's weird but intriguing music style comes into its own. Remove the loops and his music is as dark, ritualistic and unnerving as it comes.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sleepchamber_sssc.htm
Violet - Violet Ray Gas and the Playback Singers
Utilizing the requisite field recordings, found sounds, CD/tape/vinyl manipulations, etc., Violet presents listeners with an album both disquieting in its peacefulness and jarring in its white noise banality. It is not so much mentally invasive as vaguely irritating, lacking the essential cohesion necessary in an experimental/drone record and likely far more interesting in terms of creative process than actual listenability.

Interviews
Stefan Herwig - Dependent
Although Dependent operates largely in the 'Electro-Industrial' genre, we have no desire to be pigeonholed as such, unlike most of the bands in the 'scene'. With our unique label concept we hope to escape the ghettoization associated with dance or metal and to establish this style of music firmly in the mainstream.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_dependent.htm
Reviews
Alistair Crosbie - Music For Shipwrecks
It's nice to hear someone again just hitting it ambient music from a different angle. This release would most likely have a lot in common with a lot of the Nautilus releases thematically, and I am pretty much sure a lot of fans of The [Law-Rah] Collective wouldn't feel caught short of change if they dipped into their pockets for this one either.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_alistaircrosbie_mfs.htm
Roto Visage / Worms of the Earth - Celestial Malaise
This experimental collaboration between two exceptional artists, Roto Visage and Worms of the Earth, is a journey in sound - it blends and experiments with the genres of glitch, drone, ambient and noise to produce an epic experience for the willing ear and devoted fan.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_cm.htm
Poordream - Immaterial Monarch
This album is a taste of what Poordream is capable of and, all in all, a decent collection of remixes. "Immaterial Monarch" is a foreshadowing of treats to come and I look forward to hearing the next release from this talented artist.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_poordream_im.htm
Solar Skeletons - Necroethyl
"Early Cabaret Voltaire gone blues!" If you like really old industrial music and you like blues, or if you just want to hear something unusual the likes of which you've never heard before, give Solar Skeletons a try.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_solarskeletons_n.htm
Hyperbubble - Better Set Your Phasers to Stun
"Better Set Your Phasers to Sun" sounds like the intro music for a sci-fi themed kids' cartoon where nothing bad ever happens. If you like light-hearted synthpop and are of a generally light-hearted disposition, then don't listen to a grumpy old bastard's opinion and go have a listen to some sweet, sugary sounds.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_hyperbubble_bsypts.htm
Sturqen - Sturqen
Sometimes it feels like 'Sturqen' has been jamming away, furiously twisting knobs of various angry synths and cutting out the best bits for us to enjoy. At times the tracks seem to be overtaken by waves of nasty feedback. This does intensify the listening experience, but it also makes it hard to sit through the album in one go.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sturqen_s.htm
Mind Disruption - Fuck Yeah!
A few of the songs on this album seem to teeter on the brink of train wreck while others successfully get your foot tapping. "Fuck Yeah!" is sure to go over well with fans of the genre but the chaotic delivery and loose rhythms may leave new listeners wanting more.

Du coup c'est p-e moins engageant et ça ne donne pas envie de creuser plus...j'ai super honte mais je n'ai jamais écouté encore une fois tes emissions...alors qu'à chaque fois que tu postes je me dis faut que je prenne le tps d'écouter quand même "c'est bizarre qu'il n'y ait jamais de retour"..et j'oublie..
En tout cas tu es organisé et productif...un thread par an, tout dedant c'est très parfait ! :shao:

@ kyjah! - je me ai souvien demandé s'il ne serait meilleur de faire des posts plus courtes seulement avec les liens pour le webcast, les revues, etc sans les synopses.
Et, comme c'est lundi soir, c'est le temps d'une nouvelle mise à jour chez Connexion Biz! ;-)

Reviews
Juan Matos Capote - Jabal
Juan Matos Capote is a sound and visual artist who currently resides in Barcelona and whose impressive resume includes studying circuit-bending under Reed Ghazala.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_juanmatoscapote_j.htm
End - The Dangerous Class
Straight to the point with this one: this is the soundtrack to the reviewer's inevitable mental breakdown. Tthere is some weird music out there, but this is certainly some of the strangest in some time and with that it brings mental imagery that nothing else could possibly inspire... Rockabilly, Surf Music, Breakcore, Hunter S. Thompson, 1920's Flapper Girls and much, much more besides.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_end_tdc.htm
Skullduggery - You Are Here. [Nowhere]
To do this album justice it's an album you don't need to be reading about, other than to be recommended it. It's not going to be for everyone, but it's really worth giving a try - you will either find it an engaging curiousity or a massively rewarding and challenging listen. The reviewier is in the latter camp, and more than a few listens in is still finding bits he missed.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_skullduggery_yahn.htm
Zonk't - Beat Wins You And Me
Zonk't is only one of the many sides of a multifaceted artist who truly deserves to be discovered, for those who don't know him yet... And Zonk't may be the ideal first step to penetrate into his universe, because it remains pretty accessible for a listener who's not used to this kind of music yet, even if it often tends to fit into the experimental genre.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_zonkt_bwyam.htm
Empire State Human - Audio Gothic
If a heavy new wave influence on modern electro with a more thoughtful approach to lyrics than is expected by the mainstream, coupled with a willingness to experiment with alternative instrumentation sounds like your idea of synthpop heaven, then Empire State Human is for you. And, if you are of a darker bent, paying attention to Empire State Human's lyrics may offer you some solace as well.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_empirestatehuman_ag.htm
V/A - The Clock Machine Turns You On: Volume 2
This varied collection offers up some great music from Smartyr, Killing Joke, Transit Kings, The Sun Paulo and Analogue Mindfield. It seems to have something for every listener, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time as this may draw in a listener to enjoy some new music or urge them to quickly hit eject.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_tcmtyo.htm
Mad Therapist - Alien Element
We are greeted by melodic, clean electronica that is infused with calming overtones. It is an ambitious, intricate album that places the emphasis firmly on composition rather than just assailing the listener with a barrage of beats. The result? Pleasantly atmospheric, cleverly constructed background music that fades in and out of your consciousness without leaving a mark.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_madtherapist_ae.htm
Parallel Worlds - Shade
A knowledgeable hand when it comes to analogue modular synthesizers, Sirros has developed a distinctive sound via his Parallel Worlds project, at once anachronistic and immutable. The album is full of pillowy and fluid sounds; hard edges are notably absent in this somnolent journey that relies upon atmospheric IDM and ambient.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_parallelworlds_s.htm
Abraxas Projekt - Baraka - Visions
The upshot of former songwriter Jerome Paressant's twofold interest in electronic music and contemporary jazz, Abraxas Projekt presents an uncomplicated fusion of both elements with its latest release, "Baraka - Visions". Like its namesake, the 1992 film by Ron Fricke, the album is a study in juxtapositions and motion.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_abraxasprojekt_bv.htm
15 Degrees Below Zero - Resting On A
While not terribly familiar with 15 Degrees Below Zero and liking some of their previously released material, the same cannot be said of "Resting On A", unfortunately. To be honest, one is sort of at a loss as to why anyone would release this and it can be summed up quite quickly in one word: pointless.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_15dbz_roa.htm
Dessau - The Truth Hurts (1985-2000)
The title is really quite appropriate, in some respects - one fails to understand exactly why this retrospective is necessary, and indeed, who is really going to be that interested other than treating this as a relic from the past. A long-forgotten band who were too similar to some of their much more successful and more creative contemporaries to warrant too much attention, and their best known work is a cover.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_dessau_th.htm
the M.E.M.O.R.Y. Lab - Modern Expressing Machines of Revolutionary Youth
It was initially difficult to know what to make of this, but when you dig into who is behind the band, you begin to expect much more. Marc Urselli is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and the other members have been involved in such extreme metal luminaries as Aborym. So really, they can surely do so much better than this.

Reviews
Dead Voices on Air - Fast Falls the Eventide
The eleventh full-length release from Mark Spybey, an album which is an odyssey of sounds that will evoke soothing and agitated responses. Spybey has mastered the fine art of experimental music by never teetering at the brink of chaos too long and drawing in the listener with classical elements heard through new ears. A treat for the loyal fan and an impressive range of genres for the newcomers that will not soon be forgotten.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_deadvoicesonair_ffte.htm
Miel Noir - Der Honigflügel
A dramatic, if not tragic, story is being told here - but you can always invent your own and the cinematic arrangement of the sound seems to invite this. Still, although this is a unique and intriguing work that's perfect for atmospheric late night listening, there's a sense that it could have gone further and transcended its sources more fully, rather than simply running through them.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mielnoir_dh.htm
Pål Asle Pettersen - Komposisjoner 2005-2008
Although Pål Asle Pettersen's work is full of dramatic and even perverse shifts and transitions it implies a challenge to the way in which we increasingly form instant judgements on music. It can't easily be assimilated in a sitting and demands some attentive repeat listening in order to (try) and piece together what's actually happening.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_palaslepettersen_k.htm
Thunderwheel - Credo
Overall fantastic, bizarre, uneasy, absurd, and tortured, some of which may reflect the environment in which it is produced. It's hard to tell how much of this is deliberately humorous or excessively kitsch or whether Gusis simply couldn't restrain himself from over-indulging. In any case, although this is interesting it doesn't match the finer moments of Agnivolok or Chaos As Shelter.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_thunderwheel_c.htm
Overdose Kunst - Was Ist Overdose Kunst?
In its own terms and for whatever target audience (if any) that it may have, this brief collection is probably a brilliant success, but its appeal will definitely be limited - this one is only for true connoisseurs of weirdness.

Interviews
Ian Boddy - DiN
A veteran of the European electronic music scene since the late 70s, UK based sonic explorer Ian Boddy has produced 13 CDs on his Something Else Records label. Emerging from the post TDream generation, Boddy has carved out a distinctive position as an independent composer and performer.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_din.htm
Reviews
Wentworth Kersey - (O)
Loosely described as an americana EP, "(O)" is the latest release by Wentworth Kersey, a duo from Denver, Colorado in the USA, and who have a sound that is like shoegazer, post rock, americana... And utterly gorgeous it is too!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_wentworthkersey_o2.htm
Millipede - All My Best Intentions
This is the first release of Porteur de L'image's Don Hill's side project, Millipede. Don has been creating music for over 10 years and now has found a home for this magnificent project on Hymen Records. The auditory terrain of Millipede is an uneasy landscape of glitch-ridden drums, ambient pads and thick lows, ethereal melodies and symphonic cascades carrying the listener away.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_millipede_ambi.htm
Skin Contact - Antitrust
Dark electronic break-beat is what you can expect from this little gem of a release from Skin Contact titled "Antitrust". Simply complex, or complexity disguised as simplicity; those were my thoughts as I put my headphones on, turned up the volume, and begun listening. The entire album gives itself to easy listening with a few minor flaws.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_skincontact_a.htm
Tzii - Rotten Friendship
The works of Tzii form the basis for a dual CD-R/DVD-R release, coming in an intriguingly beautiful, handcrafted silkscreen packaging with a limited run of 300 copies. An easy recommendation to anyone intrigued by finecrafted aural and visual displays of dark themes, be it an audience uninitiated to the original tracks, or one seeking something new yet (un)comfortably familiar.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tzii_rf.htm
V/A - Miwak 12
All in all this compilation offers us a very wide selection of what Hymen Records has to offer. The broad range of the tracks makes for a varied listening experience but, with repeated listens, one may I tend to skip a few tracks in order to stay in one vibe. "Miwak 12" clearly shows that Hymen is at the top of their game and still has plenty of quality electronic music for us in store.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_m12.htm
Roughhausen - Someone's Got To Pay
Roughhausen produce a great EP but the contribution of live and remix tracks will always detour new listeners. I suggest this album as a taste for any new listener who enjoys My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Velvet Acid Christ or KMFDM. You will not be disappointed with this short bare-knuckle brawl of EBM and industrial.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_roughhausen_sgtp.htm
Brian E - Yellow Light District
Inspired by living legends of electronic music such as Giorgio Moroder and Kraftwerk as well as by the Italo Disco era, Brian E delivers us an uninterrupted stream of catchy melodies, purring bass lines, and poppy analog synthesizer sounds which were the trademark of the 70's greater masterpieces of the genre, of whom Brian E is the heir.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_briane_yld.htm
Low Technicians - Riga
This electropop outfit from Austin, Texas, claims as its focus a melodic melding of pop and rock, via the medium of electronic dance music. A suitably generic categorization, in any case, for an album consisting of repetitive synthpop standards with mediocre vocals and a splash of guitar for texture.

("Submission for Radio Futura" with music selection by M.)
This was the 'mixtape' that was submited to and accepted by http://www.radiozero.pt/ - Radio Zero for a participation in the Radio Futura initiative (the 'official' radio of the 2009 edition of http://futureplaces.org/ - Future Places digital media and online culture festival/meeting). The actual live radio broacast took place on October 17th between 6-7pm but, for those that missed it, here's the original submission, without any spoken comments.
Unfortunately, the exact tracklisting was never noted down (lame) and there's a couple of pieces that I can't identify anymore. Either way, this mix is bound to contain tracks by one or more of the following: Marching Dynamics, Hecq, Lucidstatic, Otto Von Schirach, Igorrr, Sickboy, Zeller, Faux Pride, Drumcorps, Glowstyx, Enduser, Le Diktat, Ten Data Keshin, Az-Rotator and a couple of others which I don't remember at the moment. If by any chance you think you can identify all the pieces in this mix, mail your tracklisting to mailto:info@connexionbizarre.net"]info@connexionbizarre.net and we'll publish it if it is correct giving you credit (wow!).

Reviews
Fhievel - Pipe Smoking on a Balloon
A variety of electronic drones, warm crackling noise and many other subtle electronic noises. "Pipe Smoking on a Balloon"album maintains a sense of calm and never strays into harshness or anything that doesn't make you feel like you're floating along with the clouds (perhaps in a balloon with a pipe in hand?). That's not to say it grows boring either though.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_fhievel_psoab.htm
Sunao Inami - Disinfectant
Japanese experimental artist and Electr-Ohm label head Sunao Inami releases "Disinfectant", his seventh album under his own name. The album is composed of tracks recorded live in Tokyo in May 2009 which have been cut up and remixed with the intention of to creating new material whilst maintaining the live feel inherent in the original tracks.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sunaoinami_d2.htm
Y.E.R.M.O. - Collision Zone
Once you've put this CD into your player, you may find that you can't stop listening to it again and again in order to fully appreciate all of its details and subtleties. And for that reason, it should better be played at high volume, on a high end stereo and with lights turned off.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_yermo_cz.htm
[syndika:zero] - Blindness
'True Industrial Freedom' is a term bandied about by this relatively new act on the scene to describe their contribution to industrial and harsh electro music. A loftier ideal, perhaps, than club popularity, but their latest release, "Blindness", is more likely to be remembered for the latter than the former.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_syndikazero_b.htm
V/A - Whiteline Vol. III
Roughly once a year, the German label has released an installment of "Whiteline", their DJ-oriented 12" vinyl compilation series. Like its predecessors, "Whiteline Vol. III" features a selection of tracks by established acts and lesser-known or new and upcoming artists from several points in the world. This time around, Aentitainment presents tracks by Igorrr, Mobthrow, Ebola, Larvae and Hello.JPG.

Reviews
Defrag - Lament/Element
"Lament/Element" is a perfect chaos of mood and mode of expression, ranging from dnb to glitch/experimental to ambient orchestral grandeur - an album which is a must have for fans of intelligent electronics. This will be a return selection in my collection showing wear and tear of multiple repeat cycles in my stereo.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm
dISHARMONY - Evolution
It may not feature the next big dancefloor filler, but an older, wiser audience cannot fail to sit up and take notice. Taken as individual tracks, or in its entirety, dISHARMONY have, indeed, evolved on this album, taking their compositions one step further towards enlightenment than many of their contemporaries would dare to.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm
Gerostenkorp - Terre Brûlée
More IDM than experimental per se, but there's still nearly as much attention given to the process as the result, making for a well-balanced (if unclassifiable) album that will resonate equally well with fans of either.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm
Aere Aeternus - Humanity Needs No Funeral
This is not to say that Aere Aeternus aren't honest about the message they are trying to convey. Perhaps they should consider re-evaluating their aesthetics and their discourse to avoid the clichés mentioned above or, perhaps (and quite difficult), reformulate them into something more convincing.

Reviews

Thermometerometer - Who Measures The Measurers?
Well, there's noise, there's experimental and then there's... Thermometerometer. Flips, clicks, drones, buzzes, pops and even glitches are thrown together and have things done to them that they could never have imagined in their wildest nightmares on "Who measures the measurers?", the first release from the Immigrant Breast Nest label.
Torrent Vaccine - Tentative Response
This is an impressive debut album. As noted before, it sounds very different to just about everything else (and just try comparing it to Torrent Vaccine's labelmates on BitRiot), and this certainly makes for an ear-catching release. It's not perfect, though, but a second album should help to smooth off those ragged bits (particularly the second half that sags a little) and is keenly awaited. Recommended.
Transistor6 - Virgin Venom
Well-produced and not particularly demanding, "Virgin Venom" has all that it needs to have broad appeal to a relatively wide audience of casual listeners. Ironically, these are precisely the kind of people who will not easily come across the work of Transistor6. A shame, really.
Violence and the Sacred performing as Viosac - You Are Planning To Enjoy The Apocalypse
Put a bunch of aging Throbbing Gristle fans in a room with stacks of analog equipment. Lock the door and come back a couple of decades later and you may discover something quite startling: instead of the decomposed remains of a creative collaboration, you will instead be faced with the newly-energised and thoroughly interesting experimental music project that is Violence and the Sacred, or Viosac.
Talbot & Deru - Genus
Philip Glass and Steve Reich aren't composers I ever expected to be brought to mind by an Ant-Zen release, but this is just what happened on hearing "Genus", a joint release between Ant-Zen and Dear Oh Dear Records, the label of British composer John (Joby) Talbot, working here with American electronica artist Deru (Benjamin Wynn). Their collaboration is the soundtrack to a dance work based on Darwin's discovery of evolution.

Interview
Dave Leach - Vendetta Music
The Denver-based Vendetta Music has been active as a music label since the mid-2000s and, since its inception, has accumulated a significant back-catalog of releases. It is home to a solid roster of artists from the field of dark electronics - from established acts like Xotox, Nachtmar, and W.A.S.T.E. to lesser-known ones like Necrotek, Mono-Amine and The Peoples Republic Of Europe. In addition to the label activity, Vendetta Music is also involved in the organization of music events, of which the most recent was the Vendetta Music Festival in September 2009.

Reviews
Cullen Miller - Stolen Nature
Detroit/San Francisco sound designer Cullen Miller really has his head screwed on. You get the impression that he's never even heard of IDM when you filter through the press release surrounding this album, but that's what you get from the opening number which, as with all the other tracks, is 'untitled'. Subtle tones and instrumentation are dragged along with almost dub-like bass and are lifted with organic elements such as acoustic guitar, a gentle warm opening to an album that is immediately engaging.

Release
Phllox - h[a]unted
h[A]unted is not easy to categorize, some say dark ambient, industrial, electro and others... describe this release as a soundscape for the listeners to play with emotions and nostalgia. From anger to sadness, from happiness to furiousness, compositions took place at various occasions along 2009.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews.htm
Reviews
RMSonce - Reflections
As far as drones and experimental electronics are concerned, Francesc Martí excels. "Reflections" is this Barcelona artist's third release under the moniker RMSonce. Rather than being an indulgent drowning in monotonous layers of analogue drones and abstract, sampled noise, the nine-track album keeps us guessing. Generally accessible, short-format compositions make "Reflections" a good choice for the inquisitive, but perhaps too concise for the connoisseur in pursuit of detached, infinite spaces.

M.M. - Zhelezobeton
Zhelezobeton is a label and distributor of all sorts of experimental, noise, industrial and other not so conventional music. We release in small editions the music of our friends and distribute the releases of other labels which are more or less spiritually close to us. We have two sub-labels: Zhelezobeton Film for releasing video materials and Muzyka Voln for releasing music in more definite ambient/drone direction.

Reviews
The Bureau Of Nonstandards - The Bureau Of Nonstandards
The Bureau of Nonstandards decided to present the performances without any further processing and even though this decision brings a nice charm to the the album it might scare off a lot of listeners who are used to more polished productions. Those who take the album for what it is will certainly enjoy the sound adventures and realize that the Bureau of Nonstandards's approach to music is quite nonstandard indeed.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm
Wentworth Kersey - O
The first in a planned trilogy of EPs, "O" and its successor, "(O)" (2009), are replete with much of the same: mournful, shimmering modulations, acoustic guitar and plaintive voice, all bundled together with lo-fi simplicity and a healthy measure of the open range to boot.

Zilverhill - Latent-Active-Descent
This is only a limited release, which is a real shame, as it deserves a wide audience. The arrangements breathe and the elements shimmer in a way that shows that real craftsmanship and attention to detail have gone into what is one of the most satisfying albums of the year. There is nothing revolutionary or dramatically innovative about any of the elements here, yet they cohere into something that often feels fresh and instantly memorable, leaving lasting traces and compelling and rewarding repeat listening.

Geneviéve Pasquier - Le Cabaret Moi
Though it has its failings and in some aspects it may not sound particularly fresh, "Le Cabaret Moi" is nevertheless a relatively solid offering by Geneviéve Pasquier which could have benefited greatly from a couple of different production and aesthetic choices. Not an album to listen regularly but certainly one to go back to on occasion and rediscover the odd forgotten track.

V/A - Kod.eX Compilation
In a nutshell, the "Kod.eX Compilation" is an amazing compilation that successfully manages to integrate a variety of seemingly unrelated styles into a coherent whole with nearly flawless flow, testimony of the talent and skill of those involved in the Kod.eX nights, from the organizers to the artists who performed there. Definitely a must for anyone interested in good music.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm
Mono-Amine - Like A Machine
"Like a Machine" is as solid as a power noise record can get, with an exemplary balance of variety in sound and focus in strength.
