Delog
2008 release ** "With the album "Delog" Jaroslaw Wierny continues his journey within the mysteries of tantric Tibetan Buddhism. Conceptually the album looks at the near death experience, where the soul is free to visit other mysterious realms, looking beyond the constraints and boundaries of our own world and perhaps offering an opportunity to find quick enlightenment. Musically this sits somewhere in the borderland between dark ambient and more droney lengthy ambient à la Oöphoi. The music has …

Geigerzähler
The precise motivations underlying the journey into nuclear wastelands are unknown. After Hans Hashimoto finished his apprenticeship he left home with a sleeping bag, a geigerzähler and two packets of methadone. Once in the exclusion zone, the geigerzähler became his compass - and the reactor his north star. The readings on the geigerzähler became stronger as the radiation sickness and Hans Hashimoto survived on one pack of methadone to enter and one to leave the zone. In his tumble towards the …

......t
Sonically, the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH distort the club context they work from by rendering functionality with an exceptionally refined and idiosyncratic palette. As logophiles, they contort the little descriptive context they afford audiences by imploding language into splintered and barely comprehensible character sequences. The impression is that each is the result of mutual process-driven experiments. This is all true of '......t', their new album and debut recording for Northern Electronics…
