Comment: Marcus Denight's issue is undoubtedly a proper listening due to the recent seasonal aspect and because of its emotive facet. More profoundly, the listener can hear Kosmische Musik and the so-called Berlin School inspired vast soundscapes which sweep effectively around your head and ears. However, I have never perceived any sort of burning melancholy within the music of Tangerine Dream, for instance, however, through Legends of the Imminent Winter Marcus Denight enters deeply into very profound slots of your heart. The counterpoint and a partial base of it could be considered the gleaming light as if reflecting back from an iceberg. And the feeling of sadness, majestic beauty, and ennobling darkness mingle with one another seamlessly and effortlessly. This is the magic moment and function of music. It is like getting out in a cold winter morning and staring at the sky and seeing a reddish scope of lights at the zenith of your head. Then you could think of it as the only thing you would need in your life. Indeed, you feel sadness and melancholy yet it is not devastating at all but providing much inspiration and power and thereby to get energised inside. Indeed, if you seek a balance providing mental edge then listen to it. The great issue is a part of a Russian imprint, USC Unlimited.

Comment: CLOUDWARMER is the project of Brett Zehner, and Eddie Palmer, previously the duo was being known as The Fucked Up Beat (a favourite of mine). As if a couple of conspiracy theoreticians and practitioners in sound used to have had a fun on these as numerous as approximately 20 albums. In general, they continue along an analogue way by using haunting, by its nature ominous speech samples and exotic yet by its nature a bit frightening, a bit otherworldly twisted rhythmic patterns to convey a disaster-ridden world (where the human being and nature welcome each other in an acrimonious way) to us what catastrophic disasters have happened throughout the last 70-80 years. Musically the main difference could be considered by employing doom-laden, noisy sweeps occasionally. For misanthropists this 12-track issue would be a good source to formally refer to the adverse consequences and therefore to their own species as a failed one but for others it would be a pleasant journey through labyrinthine sonic corridors and arousing fear stricken moods to get travelled. For whom this world belongs to in fact? For me? For you? For them? If it so who are then those 'them'? Should it be owned by someone at all? Are we just the pawns in the field of the so-called divine comedy? The mentally overcoming release was issued at Free Music Archive, and Bandcamp.

Comment: by listening to this 3-notch outing by a Japanese artist, Yuuki Yamaguchi I thought about the possibility to write a review about a house music release. In fact, how much house or drum and bass reviews could you meet today. No, I am not supposed to think of it as an example of boring music but its functionality might predominate over its other qualities more or less deliberately. First of all, it is the synonym of dance music and at a lesser extent, to create a pleasant state of mind (one of the strengths of house music is to build up sultry ambiances). Of course, there have been around many artists whose purpose are being to undermine the aforementioned intentions and outputs. First of all, I could remember for artists under the legendary German imprint Thinner, and Akufen. The Japanese artist's issue being released on Ceramic Records is a tight blend of national motives (which frequently are warped into an appealingly acidic form) and vibrant rhythms. By considering the titles of these tracks (Atmosphere, Distortion, to Nature) one can perceive the artist's drive to move further from within the borders of the aforementioned styles. One can hear the birds are singing, slightly pulsating drones provide an alternative to the more fragmented beats, smithereens-alike sounds used to pop out here and there. To create house music seems not to be his ultimate goal but exploiting it as a platform to reach new heights.

Comment: you may not know how indescribably pleasant is to listen to an album which allows you to forget your self and ego just for an hour – it is one of the best sensations you could ever get in at all. I am listening to Slovenia-based artist Luka Prinčič`s 12-track outing and I can feel I have entered outside the mundane realm where I feel I am nobody, I have no goofy obligations, I am just a part of the imminent energy of this unfathomable endlessness. You can feel halcyon chill and ennobling blue and black mixed darkness oozing out of every chord, out of every imaginary slot. Mystical constellations do form in front of you and foster your fantasies. On the other side, it is a bit heretical to dissect the object or goal of which touch is purgative and transcendental and over my head to an incomparable degree. However, I could only assure it would surely not be a topic over there. Just because of that take a time to listen to it, just get into the music, and try to stay inside it as long as possible. In a way, it is an example of post-music because it acts like a medium to bear and sustain a next level, in the recent case overwhelming sensations to be brought to the forefront. The fabulous issue of ambient, drone and contemporary classical music is a part of the discography of Kamizdat, a Slovene imprint.
