Covering For Solace
2009 release ** "Covering for Solace, a debut album of a Königsberg-based band Sunset Wings, is a widely opened window to the world of neo-folk music. Inspired by pearls of English romantic poetry together with traditional ballads of the British isles and the art of Pre-Raphaelites as well, this album takes you to a marvelous journey in the land of children dreams, sweet sorrow and melancholy. Silver strings of acoustic guitars and tender violin, deep cello sounds and warm flute, harmonica, bri…
Heimkunft
2010 release ** "Svalbard’s debut full-length album is titled Heimkunft, German for “homecoming.” Beginning with the three minute instrumental track “Zeitwende,” Svalbard offers us a glimpse of their earlier sounds. Initially reserved, the song soon snowballs into an intense and somewhat epic piece. Heimkunft then swiftly jumps into more mainstream territory with tracks such as “The Mist that Hides Your Trace” and “Endless Fall” as such tracks demonstrate a very willful pop sensibility, even if …
Action, please!
2008 release ** "If many indie bands, for at least a year now, look to the German area and the Eighties as their only point of inspiration, Kobenhavn Store pushes higher, going towards Scandinavia, towards the ice and the pure and rarefied atmospheres of Sigur Ros or Amiina, but with a strong electronic contribution and an excellent management of the arrangement.

Kalutaliksuak
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..."
UNZ!
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.

The members hide their faces on band photos and you can see their real faces only on concerts that are very rare.…
Regal Daylight
2004 release ** "First edition of Nick Grey's debut album: an unexpected, elegant cross between avantrock and classical music, not far from the Tindersticks' poignant laments, David Bowie's "Outside" LP and Current 93's haunted ballads. "Regal Daylight", which features the participation of Nick's father, Romanian tenor Vasile Moldoveanu, is a hypnotic, lyrical and intimate experience."
Joys Of Summer
2007 release ** "Atonal ragadelic phreak-out noise jam with an extra helping of free-jazz style surf guitar on top."

No Kidding
2007 release ** "Solo 'noise guitar' side from Mr Michael Yonkers, whose 1968 recording Microminiature Love remains one of the most avant garde garage punk recordings ever to make it to Sub Pop. This is eleven tracks of cranked-up, F/X shredding six string destruction from a guy with a whole lifetime of ferocious electric guitar re-invention already behind him. A wild one."
