Empusae + Nick Grey - Simple Black Lines in a DiagramThis is a disc that can and is almost
meant to hit the mainstream, if only to showcase and share the enjoyment of this gem that would normally go undetected by the mass electronic music media and market. "Simple Black Lines in a Diagram" is meant for cult status.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_empusaenickgrey_sbliad.htm
The Infant Cycle - PlayoutTwo tracks of differing mood and presence, both with their merits and contrasting styles but both equally intriguing, presenting The Infant Cycle as an artist with a refined and well-versed ability to manipulate and reconstruct source sounds into something completely new and interesting.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_infantcycle_p.htm
Telepherique - SlowmotionDedicated to "people who try to simplify their life in modern times marked with materialism, business, stress and sickness", This disc is a very enjoyable experience and if Telepherique's other output is of this high of quality, he is definitely doing something right.
