Ending what was a rather busy year,
Connexion Bizarre (
www.connexionbizarre.net ) was updated on 2007-12-31 with a new webcast, new reviews, some of our staff's music picks for 2007 and new recommended events and links. Chances are that 2008 will be another busy year for us and we hope to be able to keep C.B. as active as in the year that just passed, bringing you regular music showcases with our webcasts and informative music reviews. In any case, we wish you all the best for 2008, may it be better than 2007. Now to business...
Reviewed this week were Queynte "Sincarnate" and ++99 "Weltverstrickung".
This week's webcast features "Lust for Love and Lost for Life" with music selection by Bauke van der Waal and "20071231-0113 Pop" with music selection by M.
Please note that, due to travelling/vacation reasons, the next Connexion Bizarre update is scheduled for January 14th.
Regards and best wishes for everyone in 2008,
Connexion Bizarre

Reviews
++99 - WeltverstrickungWith the freshest EP from this emerging act, the listener is treated to four mature, versatile tracks ranging from accomplished dark ambience, through cleverly modulated feedback patterns and throbbing bass work, culminating in barely-held-in-check tension.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_++99_w.htm
Queynte - SincarnateThe greatest peril one is always faced with when listening to full-length industrial/rhythmic noise albums is that of similarity: a 30-minute-plus live set is far more than a selection of songs, and that something fails to translate in many cases into a full-length release.
