CIRCULAR
"Shaping The Unknown" CD
(Loki44) Loki Foundation
This debut defines an opulent style of meditative ambient music and
celebrates the pure sound engines of perfect analogue synthesizer
music. Johannes Riedel created an elegant and stylish form of drone
music to build ellipses in between sculptures blowing through the
triangular center. These aural paintings uncover sacred landscapes
of drifting loops and the brilliant use of guitars to set up an unearthly
visionary wall of sound. Circular's music disposes a special principle
where tracks build up slowly and take a period of concentration, of
taking shape, followed by overwhelming massive soundworlds from outer
states. Digipak.

COLLAPSAR
"Beyond The Event Horizon" CD
(tumorcd38) Malignant Records
Malignant presents another rising star within
the dark ambient scene, this time in the form of French act Collapsar.
With their debut CD, “Beyond The Event Horizon” Collapsar
transports the listener on an epic journey deep into the cosmos, forging
a path across a vast, inky void, and steering a course around a roiling
galactic core of hyper-dense stars and black holes. The sound is epic,
expansive, and most of all, HEAVY. There is beauty and tranquility
within these realms, but there is no light – just massive, pulsating
textures coalescing into shimmering drones, rippling sound waves,
and billowing, multi-dimensional layers of powerful dark energy. “Beyond
the Event Horizon” is without question, dark ambient in its
purest form and one of the more genre defining releases of the last
several years. A must for fans of Inade, Lustmord and the like. In
6 panel digipak, with design by ::: Eye.Lyft :::

COMBATIVE
ALIGNMENT "...And outside glows the red dawn" CD
(tumorcd24) Malignant Records
First full length CD from this powerful and visionary German project.
And Outside Glows the Red Dawn can perhaps be seen as Combative Alignment's
benchmark recording, offering 6 tracks that work as a virtual musical
thoroughfare to a more dreamlike, illusory state. Deeply brooding
atmospheres, where omniscient layers of drones and reverberating sound
currents meet measured, ritual percussion as performed under the glowing,
gloomy haze of a primordial sunrise. And Outside Glows the Red Dawn
shines a dim light on a world of obscure origin, full of dark Germanic
mysticism and unearthly sonic terrain. On a whole, this is a more
focused, deeper, and fluid recording than you’ve heard before,
yet triumphantly carrying on the tradition laid down by previous releases.
In stylish digipak, lmtd 1000 copies. Recommended!

CONTEMPLATRON
"Delog" CD
(wrt007) Wrotycz
After a successful debut album this is the second release of this
Polish dark ambient act.
Contemplatron is Jaroslaw Wierny making music within the esoteric
context of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. Music which is quite and meditative
lifting up the listener to other levels of existence with drones and
subtle patterns. Slight melodies are evolving on soft layers of humming
sounds lulling you to other dimensions and different state of mind.
Multi layered ambient sounds subtle mixed with Tibetan ritual music
with Instruments like bowls and gongs. There is a lot happening in
these tracks attracting the attention of the listener to get deeper
in this experience starting with the sounds of waves in “She
came and sat in Lhamo Lhatsö the lake of Visions” slowly
evolving with soft pulses to make you ready for travelling in “Yeshe
Tsögyal”. More percussive it gets in “The Lord of
Copper Mountain” and “Downward to the spheres of suffering”
having a more ritualistic feel. If the void between life and death
is like this I am not afraid anymore for this is fascinating and marvellous
ambient with seductive and mesmerising sounds. (Gothtronic)

CYCLOTIMIA
"Trivial Pleasures" CD
(Mono 001) Monopoly Records
Part one in a trilogy of more abstract sound works called "L'Electronique
Mondial". A dramatic contrast to previous releases, CYCLOTIMIA
now shape a completely different transposition of image into music.
In addition to the usually clean and perfected collages, which still
dominantly mark the characteristic aura of CYCLOTIMIA’s music,
the group generates an uncompromisingly sharp and sterile character
of automation as an attempt to transpose trivial modern day-by-day
life mechanisms into music. An audible journey through the data processing
systems of stock markets, fast computers, cash registers, TV sets
and electronic payment systems – disturbing, mind-numbing and
thoroughly modern.
