Across the entirety of From the End of Time, the new album by Black Swan, an eerily desolate wind forms the base layer for swells of disembodied choirs, haunting piano, mangled tapes, and scores of other unplaceable, vividly textured sounds. According to the artist, its environment “is meant to evoke the aftermath of a collapsed society,” but does so while pulling every possible vestige of beauty from the ruins, with the reverent melancholy of a classical requiem.
Like previous album Ghost (2024…
*300 copies limited edition* Pauline Marx, formerly of the fantastic duo La Fureur de Vouivre, seems like a being from another time and place; namely, an escaped marauder lurking in the forests of a Bruegel painting and integrating the surreal flora and fauna of a Boschian creation into the scenery and lore of deep Brittany. Her invented mythology is loaded with murky rituals and contorted mantras, backed by the surprising sounds and textures of terrains so earthly and so unreal. Where do you th…

*200 copies limited edition* "Ever Expanding" unfolds like a fissure in the continuity of the real. Each sonic fragment carries the memory of an archaic gesture, while also heralding a form yet to come. Nothing asserts itself, yet everything emerges with the gentle force of an apparition—unstable configurations that breathe in the space between the familiar and the elusive. The pieces overlap without collision: each remains distinct, yet surfaces within a shared field. What arises is a multiplic…
*200 copies limited edition* "I Know Your Voice, but It’s Hard to Find in the Crowd" is a concept album centered on the use of the voice. What shape does the voice take when conveying an emotion? The compositions in this work are made up almost exclusively of voices—an extensive spectrum of voices that sing, speak, whisper, processed through Auto-Tune, or emerge from WhatsApp messages, VSTs, analog and digital keyboards from the ’80s and ’90s, field recordings, and samples from films, TV, and Yo…
*200 copies limited edition* Continuing the luminous path forged by his previous CD, “The Visions of a Dream Traveller”, Like the Snow returns to paint vast cinematic soundscapes that breathe with emotional depth, shifting seamlessly between disruptive, majestic crescendos with thunderous orchestral impact and more introspective passages of nocturnal intimacy. These darker, at times brooding atmospheres are delicately pierced by fleeting luminescent textures, gradually dissolving into serene amb…
In ‘Punti d'Incontro’ the sound is fragmented and broken up, just like splinters or bits of broken glass, into infinite pieces. Through the stages of duets and trios, Eugenio Sanna, Lucio Bonaldo and Michele Scariot give life to buzzings, high-pitched sounds, like pinheads looking at and observing each other with caution, forming strange, gelatinous agglomerates; bewildered melodies that are swallowed up through a visionary plot and enter, swallowed up, into the gaps of an infinite space, in a r…
The soundtrack for “Alzati spia” Espion, lève-toi, composed by Ennio Morricone, is a masterful example of how music can enhance the atmosphere of a spy thriller. Released in 1982, the film, directed by Yves Boisset and starring Lino Ventura and Michel Piccoli, is a dark and psychologically intense story that delves into the shadowy world of intelligence operations during the Cold War. The movie stands out for its balance between narrative tension and introspection, with a protagonist caught in a…
2007 release ** "Kalutaliksuak was one of the first weird, ethno-psychedelic and proto-space rock bands in Russia. They took their name from the Ice goddess of the Eskimos and operated during the first half of the 90’s, but never released any official recordings..."
"Moonflower, by the legendary Finnish pianist Heikki Sarmanto and his quartet, is the first "new" album on Luke Mosling's Porter label; the other two projects that make up his opening salvo are reissues of private-press recordings done by Mait Edey's Seeds imprint in the early '70s. Sarmanto is best known to American audiences for his work with Sonny Rollins and Art Farmer. He's recorded 25 albums as a leader, including New Hope Jazz Mass for jazz ensemble, orchestra, soprano, and choir (conduct…
2005 release ** "Antisisters ( Pavel A. "Nowayout" Gromov (vocals), Sergey "Foxygene" Gromov (machines, live drums), Alexander "Sandwitch" Sosnovsky (guitar), Igor "HAnGo" Gomonov (machines, live keyboards) is one of the eldest darkwave bands from Moscow, Russia. In spite of the long biography Antisisters is still an underground band that is deliberately avoided by the musical press. The members hide their faces on band photos and you can see their real faces only on concerts that are very rare.…
1993 release ** "The most straightforward -- and partially, as a result, the more curious -- of the various Over the Edge releases over the years, Over the Edge, Vol. 5: Crosley Bendix Radio Reviews is in many ways a solo effort by Don Joyce in the character of Bendix himself. A regular feature of the Over the Edge shows is an offering by Bendix -- described as director of stylistic premonitions for the Universal Media Netweb, the putative overarching organization Negativland is merely a part of…
2008 release ** ""Nicola Cipani's "Ill-Tempered Piano" is a suprising and playful album of solo improvisations played on broken and untuned pianos. Cipani's accomplished melodic and rhythmic approach and his responsiveness to each instrument's raw potential set this project apart. The recordings were made over the span of two years in different New York City warehouses, on several keyboard instruments (among the pianos you hear also a clavichord), some of which are so damaged as to be hardly rec…
2005 release ** "After their debut MCD "New Death Order" Cyclotimia presents ten new tracks composed as a soundtrack for a decaying metropolis. Wasteland is packed of melancholy and epic moments with slow and intense compositions. Samples taken from television's channels and synths has been used to compose these tracks which merge industrial, classical and ambient music. If you love dense, dark and intimistic atmospheres try this one."
2009 release ** ""TimeBank" is a collection of exclusive compositions recorded by Cyclotimia in 2003-2007 and for some reasons left out of the main albums. The material presented here is hard to fit in the Procrustean bed of common musical styles, but we can try to list the ingredients from which this post-industrial "dish" was cooked: both cyber jazz and idm, neoclassics and trademark technological ambient, old-school electronics and atmospheric new age, experimental and many more can be found …
2025 stock ** "The 7th full-length album from the Russian masters of "stockmarket industrial". "Styx" is the most mainstream-oriented work in the Cyclotimia discography. The music here is free of experimental and academic explorations traditional for the band; here the emphasis is made on the rhythmical component. Inexorable like an economic recession and steadfast like a financial indicator chart, eleven compositions depict the sickly technogenic reality of the planet wrapped by networks of glo…
2006 release ** ""New Death Order" is a powerful mixture of unusual varieties and neat qualities, where orthodox atmospheres hit vigorous impacts, simmering synths, and carefully directed sampling. The musical contrasts, which underline the concepts of the album, decline through consumption and decadence in a cynical manner. Best neo-classic and martial industrial with a touch of sounds from the great mother Russia!"
2010 release ** "As the title suggests, the new work by Russian masters of electronic soundscapes represents a score to an imaginary sci-fi movie. The musicians call themselves admirers of old-school Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk genres, and for a long time they have felt a desire to make some music inspired by soundtracks of sci-fi blockbusters from 70-80-s... Spaceship battles, alien colonies, teleportation and mysterious droid ceremonies are only part of the images created by this music. The album conta…
