Comment: undoubtedly the US-based Andrew Cauthen was one of the most interesting artists along with Cagey House, Amitron 7, starstarstar, The Japanese Gum, Children Of The Drone and Joxfield ProjeX whom I had discovered while embarking on with my blog 10 years ago. The visual trademark of him used to be a bicycle on the cover print of every issue. Musically his sound is still mind-blowing, for example, the recent one is a convergence of krautrock-driven motorik beats a la Neu, and on the other side it is a mix of ambient plateaus and droning phases. In truth, he does away with guitars. Earlier, I guess, five years ago I would have considered it an example of pure electronic sound, however, today it chimes to my ears at least partly like a solid German experimental rock project from the 70s. Additionally to Neu! as already mentioned above the minimalist influences by Konrad Schnitzler can be heard on this 8-track outing. Of course, one can also draw parallels upon the electro sound from Detroit but the seminal impulse came from Germany. However, the latter point is not the most essential but it is a very fine listening experience. In a word, let's consume it.

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.
