Robert Turman_Aaron Dilloway - Split c30 [hanson, 2008]
Split release between myself and Robert Turman. Robert was an original member of NON back in the late 1970’s appearing on the first 7-inch MODE OF INFECTION. He released a number of very limited solo cassettes throughout the 80’s, including the monster 8-cassette box set CHAPTER ELEVEN (1976-1987). He and I have been working on remastering his old tapes over the last year, and Robert has also starting recording and performing again. His side of this cassette is just a taste of what is to become an onslaught of new recordings and unearthed classic industrial RT material to be released on HANSON. Twisted voices, waves of static hiss, disorienting and bizarre horn and string melodies, looped and delayed into a perfectly paced piece of surreal sound. My side is influenced by my recent collaboration recordings with Cleveland scumbag Wyatt Howland aka SKIN GRAFT. A confusing meld of organic and electronic sounds recorded using 8-track loops of synth, metal percussion, and radio static.

http://lix.in/-382e45Svarte Greiner - Kappe [type, 2009]
‘Knive’, Erik Skodvin’s debut album under the Svarte Greiner moniker was a milestone in doom music. Taking a surprisingly acoustic route, he kick-started a sub-genre as he used cello, violin and rattling miscellanies to conjure up blood-curdling soundscapes. ‘Kappe’ is his sophomore effort and continues Skodvin’s blackened underworld cruise, furthering his mysterious cinematic sound.

Alfred 23 Harth, Hans Joachim Irmler & Günter Müller - Taste Tribes [for4ears, 2008]
The last time Harth and Müller met was in 1987 as part of a quintet at the Festival Willisau, including Andres Bosshard, Phil Minton and Sonny Sharrock. Exactly 20 years later, Alfred Harth, now based in Seoul, South Korea, asked Günter Müller to do some recordings on a visit to Switzerland while traveling in Germany and Italy. Several days before, Harth recorded with Hans Joachim Irmler from the famous group 'Faust' as a duo. Back at his studio in Seoul, Harth mixed these two duos into a fascinating work. This CD is released as a virtual trio including samples from Kawabata Makoto and Conrad Schnitzler's Eruption before its world premier as a live trio 'Taste Tribe' in December 2008.
Shadows of freely improvised reeds are carefully woven into a sound carpet of kosmic grooving kuriers.

Triqorn & Queue - Continual Passage c40 [stunned, 2008]
tricorn & queue have captured the hearts & minds of many of us this year with their previous two ultra hypnotic tapes on digitalis and housecraft. well, the headbands are wrapped, the hidden entrance has been found, and now housecraft's own jeff astin and kane pour step again into the thick of a cosmic ritual passageway on this latest quest for the ultimate philosopher's tone. launching out from the remnants of magnetic decay that closed the last release, here t&q cast similar cycles of satellite purr and crackling naturescapes that unfold like nocturnal blooms.
cheers to mike for the rip, thanks again for diggin' the blog man !

Giuseppe Ielasi - Aix [12k, 2009]
Aix is the latest work from Italian artist Giuseppe Ielasi and the follow-up to 2007’s August (12k, 12k1044). WIth Aix we see Ielasi building his layered, atmospheric music around rhythmic grids. Most of the time these are quite irregular and the pulses are not neccessarily stable or clear. Where his previous work approached sound in a linear fashion Aix imposes a strong vertical development with the aforementioned grid and a production consisting of ons and offs, employing as much improvisation as Ielasi’s previous work, but in a different way.

Astro - Strata cdr [cut hands, 2008]
Since founding C.C.C.C. in the early nineties Hiroshi Hasegawa has been exploring the psychedelic edges of the worldwide noise underground to become one of the godfathers of the current noise scene. Cut Hands is extremely proud to release Strata, which to me stands as one of his most out there sets to date. Here he manages to use his loud, psychedelic experience to launch a bold cosmic journey into the darkest corners of space. Perfect synthesizer build ups to crushing episodes of oscillating synth, pulsating into infinity. 75 copies, in slimline dvd cases. Artwerk by fartjerk. SOLD OUT

Brad Rose of Digitalis has been busting the North Sea jams for quite sometime, and in the last year or so its developed from being a luscious garden, to a complete metallic desert of industrial waste land, Christian Bale and his co-stars would probably feel at home with this being the soundtrack to the next Terminator flick, and who knows, maybe it will be? The A side, Cyclones, is a pure doom soaked 11 minute beast. Side B's Milk Money is a fuzz layered nightmare of scolding blowtorches burning at your face and mind... Intense and bleak.

There are a lot of good times happening in SoCal these days and the Stunned Records/Magic Lantern crew is responsible for a whole hell of a lot of it. Well, Super Minerals are an important cog in that machine and this duo's intentions are blaring loud and clear on their first proper CD, "Multitudes." This duo of Phil French and William Giachhi may rip it up when they're moonlighting in Magic Lantern, but here they are burning it all down slow.
