PHRAGMENTS
"Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood" CD
(tumorcd37) Malignant
You’ve seen it before. Certain bands or
artists delivering their finest work with their first recording. Then,
in futile attempts to capture some of the same magic, becoming formulaic
and stale, rehashing ideas and never really achieving the same caliber
of work. Others, expanding on the elements of their prior releases,
and through a natural maturation process, get stronger with each release.
That would certainly be the case with Phragments. With their third
full length studio CD, this Slovakian duo have made remarkable strides
not only in quality but in scope. Equipped with an enriched sonic
palate, Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood mixes forceful brass and
dark orchestral strings with rolls of powerful tribal percussion,
somber wind instrumentation, ominous atmospheres, industrial clangor,
and a strong and commanding vocal presence, particularly on tracks
like “Over Deadlands” and “The Kin of Cain”.
Cohesive, complete, and epic, this is a release that will open some
eyes to new found authority of Phragments. Yours to discover. In 6
panel digipak..

sound-work ranging from martial neoclassical to drum n' bRass and
tripjazz. Paralyzing absinthe nightmares morphed with opiatic tunes
of the orient.

POD
"As Lonely As Dave Bowman" CD
(projekt195) Projekt
POD brings a new and chilling element to the
ambient music genre known as drone. Inspired by the vast isolation
of cold, dark space, the absence of human civilization, and the texture
of pure sound, there is a curiosity and fascination with those forces
that leads to discovery. As Lonely as Dave Bowman becomes a pioneer
in the next stage of ambient drone.
With a chillingly isolated core of sound that detaches and draws back
into itself like droplets of mercury, POD crafts a singular sound
of metaphoric loneliness that is not just a strand that drifts through
space but is an enveloping, permeating cloud. It travels in an infinite
trajectory, exploring the realm of the unknown as if a breathing entity,
expanding and contracting into eternity. It eventually evolves into
a robotic drone, a swarm of emotion and memory.
As Lonely as Dave Bowman is an electronic space music deep-ambient
side-project from Sam Rosenthal, Projekt and black tape for a blue
girl founder. The images came first. Sam's young son Sasha took the
photos one afternoon while playing with Sam's camera. Noticing they
were striking enough to be an album cover, Sam decided to create a
musical world to compliment the amorphous look the photos captured.
Inspired by Sasha's love for the films 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010:
The Year We Make Contact, Sam worked in the studio in new and organic
ways. Forsaking his usual melodic and lyrical approach to song-writing,
he quickly developed musical pieces that are principally texture and
spacial landscapes, created from a meaningful flow of synthetically
produced loops and old-fashioned outboard effects.
Is the limitless expanse of space outside the realm of the planet
Earth a selective environment for life or is it a cold, dark vacuum
that leaves only unimagined emptiness in its wake? Will long periods
of separation from humanity support the explorer or will it birth
a long, never-ending core of loneliness with tendrils that reach Earth,
wrapping its inhabitants in despair and uncertainty? POD provides
shape and essence to these philosophical questions that permeate our
thinking selves with unanswerable possibilities. The sound ponders
the moment and the eternity that extends beyond it, developing a continuous
flow that goes on forever in swells and ebbs like an ocean of time.

PREDOMINANCE
"Dark Stars Unfolding" 2CD
(Loki 40) Loki Foundation
Arisen from the fields of white ashes and bathed in tears of the world's
genocidal slavery, Predominance started 1995 to drown in the ruins
of an unconscious mind. The evolution of Gerd Zaunig's project was
mystified by the gleaming beauty of a silver ship and ended illuminated
at the threshold to astral gates on nocturnal skies. This "Dark
Stars Unfolding" is an essential journey through the mind of
the south saturn delta into the polar stargate. The circle of the
four symbols is closed and the work of Predominance will remain in
the ungained gorge of a swelling universe. After nearly 10 years of
activity and with just three regular albums in this decade, Gerd Zaunig
placed with Predominance one of the main pillars in the wide area
of dark ambient music. The unique sound of Predominance combines dense
and atmospherical sound-sculptures with symphonic structures, pulsating
rhythms and visionary-majestic vocals. This double album now marks
the final release of Predominance as the project ended in 2003. Divided
into 2 parts, Disc One: ARCHIVUM contains selected tracks from the
first tape (White Ashes), the first LP (Obliteration), various compilation
tracks and unreleased material. Disc Two: LIVE collects high-quality
live recordings from the whole period of activity and includes all
the outstanding vocal tracks for what Predominance was especially
known for. Comes in beautiful double digipak.

PSYCHONAUT
"Liber Al Vel Legis" CD
(ATNR013) Athanor
Liber Al Vel Legis is Psychonaut's recording of Aleister Crowley's
THE BOOK OF THE LAW. In Egypt in 1904 Crowley was visited by an entity
regarded by Crowley to be his Holy Guardian Angel, and for three consecutive
days at an appointed time Aiwass dictated to Crowley. By the end of
the third session the text was complete. It was called The Book of
the Law, and it prophesized the dawning of a new aeon for mankind.
Its main tenet was the much quoted and much misinterpreted: Love is
the Law, Love Under Will. Liber Al was recorded by Michael Ford while
conducting the Ritual for the Attainment of the Knowledge and Conversation
of His Holy Guardian Angel. This working includes living in a secluded
area (or away from human contact) for a period and performing the
operation of the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage. Liber Al or
the Book of the Law (given to Crowley by his own Guardian Angel )
represents a dawning of human ascension into Godhood, becoming through
a well developed Body of Light. This can be also refered to as Lucifer,
the ideal of Light and Wisdom, Faustian Knowledge. This recording
conducted by Michael Ford alone represents the first ever Psychonaut
recording, although its release was much delayed and was in fact preceded
by The Witches Sabbath and a single dedicated to Austin Osman Spare.
Remarkably this represents the FIRST EVER RECORDING of The Book of
the Law. Liber Al Vel Legis is constructed from looped rhythms many
fashioned from human bones, and eerie atmospheric backing created
by woodwind instruments. A multi-tracked voice intones the text. At
times almost Eastern motifs appear as if to represent the street sounds
of Cairo. Psychonaut have claimed inspiration from both early CURRENT
93 and ZERO KAMA and it is to the nightmare twilight world that Liber
Al Vel Legis inhabits. Michael Ford, Chaos author and guiding force
behind Psychonaut, hopes that listeners treat the album as ritual
musick to provide a magickal link between the self and the Holy Guardian
Angel.
