4 "Her Face Among The Shadows" CD
(raven43) Ravenheart
Third album from Stockholm-based artist Anders
Peterson. 'Her Face Among the Shadows' focuses on texture, mood and
atmosphere. Often exhibiting tense and ominous themes, each track
starts with gently undulating tones, building on that base and adding
swirling mists of sound and menacing atmosphere that ultimately increases
in anxiety. Evident is their ability to create atmosphere that builds
and builds like an approaching evil. Recommended to all fans of Dark
Ambient.

ODA
RELICTA "Leper Mass" CD
(tw.1.55) Twilight Records
This is not martial industrial, this is martial
music. Oda Relicta is the product of one Olegh Kolyada who recorded
'The Crown & The Plough' with the aid of the Zhytomyr Military
Orchestra. 'The Crown & The Plough' is a well-thought-over record
overviewing the history of Olegh's motherland, The Ukraine. The album
scores the clash between workmen and nobles; where the crown meets
the plough! Grandiosely conducted Slavonic faithful hymns, orchestral
sacred marches and utopian neo-folk nicely meld into a mysterious
and refined album.
Design by Nikolay Saveliev. Mastering by Henrik Nordvargr Björkk.

RELICTA "Czarstvo Dukha" CD
(nrp19) Neuropa
Less then a year after the well-received debut
album 'The Crown & The Plough' (NRP16), Olegh Kolyada presents
his sophomore album. 'Czarstvo Dukha' shows us the other side of Oda
Relicta. Heavily inspired by archival sacral recordings, this album
stands far from the bombastic music presented on the debut. Eleven
tranquil neofolk compositions will take you on a spiritual journey.
The entire album is enriched with sopranos, classical instruments
and that special Ukrainian local flair. Oda Relicta was assisted on
this recording by Albireon, Lonsai Maikov and Dissonant Elephant,
surely not unknown to the neofolk connaisseurs. The cd is packed in
an elegant digipack with an 8-page booklet.

OND
"S/T" CD
(IGR002) Inner Gravity Records
Önd is the primal force, the power of life,
the breath that gives life. The music is very much influenced by this
and such the name was chosen. It deals with lot of low frequencies
which is in connection with the breath and chanting, it is the obvious
mix of science and spirituality, and how they are the same in many
ways, especially mathamatically. It is the manifestation, through
self, of the primal force.

"Augusta Taurinorum" CD

Onirot is a malignant project showing the darkest

LUSTMORD. Included a bonus video track full of the extreme realities
of human weakness...

ONTAYSO
"Magical Tone Tricks" CD
(cd200508) Silentes
Magical Tone Tricks was created during the silent
night hours as Ontayso's third full lenght album and their ninth release
since their birth in 2002. Ontayso frequently collaborates with several
musicians and acts but for this release Ontayso exists mainly by their
two core members Koen Lybaert and Esther Santoyo. For this release
Ontayso has mainly focused on electronic manipulations and field recordings.
The overall atmosphere spread over the 4 long tracks come close to
the well known early Basic Channel sound. Magical Tone Tricks still
keeps it's unique experimental Ontayso sound. It is their response
to the excellence of Rod Modell's releases on Silentes and shows their
mutual love for this early 90ties Berlin sound and their joy of working
with field recordings and minimal sound manipulations.

OOPHOI
"Dreams part 1"
CD
(far06) Faria Records
Tracks for this series were created by impressions
from lucid dreams. Each track - is one "dream". When you
listen to such tracks you will be immersed in a state of light slumber,
lucid imagination. This is a dream! For full perception, each "Dream"
was created a special SIRDS (stereo) picture, which will open the
world of Oophoi's dreams for the listener. First edition of "Dreams"
series was released on a mini-CD in a limited edition of 70 pieces
only. Immediately sold out, of course. But a lot of people ask it
still now and we decided to release a new series from 3 full CDs.
Here you will find replayed and remixed versions of first edition
of "Dreams" and new unreleased material. This is a first
CD from our series.
Limited edition of 500 pieces

OOPHOI
"The Rustling Of Leaves" CD
(Far-04) Faria Records
Originally this album was issued on CDR in a
limited edition of 150 copies only. It has been sold out very fast
and deleted. Now this release has quality studio mastering and a bonus
track, which supplements organically the conceptual picture of the
album, and special artwork: a cover with a centre spread and 6 cards
inside – thereby each track has also an art idea.
The album has been created in a classical Oophoi-style. Sound collages
and moods remind of his early works, such as "Spirals of time"
and "Three lights at the end of the world". The music immerses
the listener in autumn-winter landscapes, when nature has already
fallen asleep, and winter is about to cover vivid autumn clothes with
its white blanket. The ghostly female vocal in the first track sets
the necessary aspect of perception at once, and after that listeners
should only enjoy the different sides of autumn mood and drown into
the world full of magic, peace and calmness. Limited edition of 500
copies,

OPIUM
"Algorithms" CD
(cd200615) Silentes
A stunning new offering by Opium. Classically
elegant and extremely refined ambient music. Multi-dimensional sounds
that are warm and enveloping. An emotional travelogue, starting dramatically,
then taking the listener down a slower path, comfortably easing you
into a long and fascinating sonic trip, where the sounds grow wide
and large, and finally crumble inward, then regenerate, returning
for another phase. A new sonic alchemy, and an entirely new world
of soothing sounds for the adventurous listener to visit.

(Vend003) Vendlus
Hypnotic minimal ambient music from a member
of the Origami Republika family. 4 tracks, close to 40 minutes in
total. "...for a live recording of this nature everything sounds
shockingly perfect. The drones are very full and resonant, with some

natural and truly possessing the feel of a live set." (Aversionline.com)

a disturbingly scorched nightmare." (The Wire)
