Reviews
Marching Dynamics - The Workers Party Of Haiti Somewhat weird, in the sense that the central idea seemed to be to kind of randomly throw 'stuff' together, and give it a nice smooth 'organic flow', "The Workers Party Of Haiti" does encompass a fairly bizarre range of musical stylings. Marching Dynamics bring together random sounds that don't seem to belong with one another and flawlessly makes them work together. Read more
Syn- / E.3151 - Manolo on Juliet With "Manolo on Juliet", Syn- and E.3151 succeeded in creating a memorable and captivating experience which thrives on the listener's imagination and which can be revisited over and over again, each visit revealing and giving different meanings to the story of Manolo. Read more
Erdem Helvacioglu - Wounded Breath Five tracks cover over an hour of musique concrwith a quality that is quite rare. "Wounded Breath" doesn't have any boring moments at all, it is very well produced and all five pieces are very worthwile. There are sounds to explore and stories to follow. Read more
Kreuzer - In Hoc Signo Vinces Despite his relative youth, Israeli producer Arsenicum has managed, with "In Hoc Signo Vinces", to create a very worthwhile addition to the lexicon of dark and martial ambient music. Stirring, evocative and colder than a Svalbard winter, Kreuzer's debut album is off to a grand start. Read more
Alaska Highway - Closure Not really an album with high and lows but still an enjoyment to listen. It makes you wonder what more Alaska Highway could have accomplished if this chapter hadn't been closed. Read more
I Am Immune - Entropy Mixing new electronics with some classic synthpop elements and adding a generous dash of rock guitar, I Am Immune offer a strong collection of tracks for their debut release. On the basis of this, their future releases should be worth looking out for. Read more
Kilowatts - Love On Saturn This release doesn't really work well as an EP, because you're just left hoping to hear more of what Killowatts has to offer. While it is amusing to see someone trying to run one-too-many loops over a house beat, it isn't as attention grabbing as one might wish. Perhaps it would work as a full-length release though. Read more
Koolmorf Widesen - Melodies Fork Now As far as this release goes, it wanders too much in the 'just plain average' range. You'd be better off having Venetian Snares "Winter in the Belly of the Snake" on your headphones, whilst playing The Flashbulb's "Kirlian Selections" on your stereo. At the same time. Chances are you'd come close to what Koolmorf Widesen is trying to achieve. Read more
