Elektrocell & Diagram - The Last Snowflake (2006)
9.4
/Ambient, Dark ambient, Soundscapes, Noise, Avant-garde, Experimental electronica/
Comment: this bulk of 7 tracks takes on less or more brooding ambient adventures filled in with bleak yet ghastly digitized disruptions or sublime electronic flickers and microtonal noises amd mystical spoken word explorations. Sometimes the music turns out to be an antigravitational example of sonic power. Contradictional in words, isn`t? The release is issued on an excellent French imprint, Rain Music.
Balkansky - A Storm (2013)
9.5
/Musique concrete, Chill out, Poptronica, Mood music, Electronic pop, IDM/
Comment: these 3 tracks constitute a tight blend of concrete flickers and gritty electronic/IDM rhythms. On the other side, it is highly enjoyable fusion due to its shift between soothing, moody feeling and more incisive sonic propulsions and ambiances either. The artist comes out of Bulgaria.
Raiding The Crimson Tides and The Burning Of Eterna City - Ghost (2011)
8.7
/EBM, Crossover, Black metal, Leftfield, Cybergrind, Electronic pop/
Comment: this set of 6 tracks is a blend of glowering and growling metal propulsions and the aesthetic of punching programmed beats and fluttering synth sounds full of unexpected progressive points and bars. Indeed, the album`s nature is acid and technical loaded with brutal power and outbursts now and then.
Cristiano Bocci - Instruments (2013)
9.4
/Avant-garde, Free jazz, Ambient, Chamber music, Noise, Drone, Experimentalism, Electro-acoustic, Abstract/
Comment: this set of 11 pieces comprises an interesting array of experiments with sounds extending from electro-acoustic drum, cello and accordion driven endeavors and disquieted free jazz-alike dashes to more abstract, clear-cut noise tissues and sublime, slightly fading drones and glacial and even ghastly electronica (or are they rough blues rock propulsions actually?) sections. And those noise infiltrated signals of the steam ship are really epic in one track. In a word, the whole is very tight and intense worth to be listened and discovered.

Owl Brain Atlas - Snow Eater (2013)
9.2
/Avant-garde, Noise, Musique concrete, Experimentalism, Psycho-acoustic, Acousmatics, Avant-electronica/
Comment: although this album consists of 30 tracks all these ones are just snippets, fragments and sonic glimpses finished off in total at 20.09. Owl Brain Atlas is the project by Colorado based musician J.D. Nelson who generates noise with vocal samples, field recordings, and guitars. Indeed, the result is a kind of subtle noise infiltrated with concrete sounds, evocative sonic effects, and spoken word touches. More concretely, the wind blows at a distance, ghastly electronic ideas attack on you, warped vocal snippets, peculiar electronic flickers come out from nowhere, preserve their monotonous standings for...to be disappeared into nothing ultimately. In a word, it is a challenging, thought-provoking listening time. Recommended for melomans who like all kind of challenges in the realm of experimental electronic music.
Small Colin – Tape Productions (2013)
9.2
/Indietronica, IDM, Alternative pop, Downtempo, Post-rock, Electronic pop/
Comment: Colin Sweeney aka Small Colin`s 11-piece issue simmers with a relatively quiet, electronic stance composed of suggestively crispy techno/IDM rhythms and catchy synthesizer based motives. On the other side, there are represented more guitar based compositions with effect loaded layers and blissfully droning chords in the background. In a word, the whole drifts between intellectual dance music progressions and indietronic endeavors, though, on the other side, Racking is a clear-cut downtempo driven track. It is a deft release thought to be enjoyed any time of day and night. The more you listen to this the more Sweeney`s album opens its exquisite nature to you.
Zoomonk & Zelig - On Time (2012)
9.6
/Art punk, Drone rock, Avant-industrial, No Wave, Avant-rock, Experimental rock, Avant-punk, Noise rock/
Comment: what will be happened when the Finns Zelig Concrete (vocals & lyrics), and Petri Parkkali (guitar, drum machine, syntheziser, stylophone beatbox) join their hands and forces? Their 6-track collaborative album is full of anxiety filled post-punk/No Wave loaded visions and frantic (proto-)industrial mayhems. Indeed, their sound resembles the early days of krautrock, old school industrial groups and more peripheral post-punk esque acts at the ending part of the 70s and at the beginning of the 80s. More closely, it does mean the tracks embrace many experiments with unusual sounds of electronica, provoking synth effects, abrasive guitar representations, Zelig`s haunted singing and restlessly writhing rhythm sections. By the way, Parkkali has hinted of being influenced by the likes of Suicide, Hungry Ghosts, 39 Clocks, Teiji Ito, Neu!, Moondog, Exotica, DNA. I would add such groups as Einstürzende Neubauten, The Fall, and Faust either. The duo is assisted by some guest musicians like Bird Man (bass), Thomas Schärer (Piano & Mellotron at Bunny & Turtle). Great music by any means which is issued on Myhand.Thanx Records, the main discovery of mine among the imprints in the recent months.

Tardiss - Thisistar (2013)
9.3
/Alternative, IDM, Indietronica, Epic, Downtempo, Electronic pop/
Comment: firstly, the title of the album is not "this is star" but "this is tar" instead of it. What does it mean actually? Does it mean something noisome, unpleasant odor or something like that? Actually not. It is just play on words because this 11-track issue is composed of soothing electronic terrains, droning synth chords, beatific epic rises, slowly running rhythms expelled somewhere in between IDM and downtempo-moulded territories. On the other side, it is an instance of indie music either due to the possibility to juxtapose with the aesthetics of an abundant wave of Germany based indietronica/neokrautrock collectives surfaced in the 90s (Kreidler, Tarwater, Pluramon, Pluramon, Rococo Rot, Notwist, Lali Puna, Mina etc). And without any questions there is a logical thread between this US-based artist and other No-Source related artists either. You just can feel it by listening to it. Furthermore, by regarding those epic and at times longing rises mentioned above I hope the listener can perceive those Americana induced exuberant humming therefore conveying the soft tissue for those more skeletal elements. To summarize, it is fine contemporary pop music professionally accentuated and arranged.
Molven - Removed Memories (2009)
9.2
/Experimental electronica, IDM, Industrial electronica/
Comment: this pack of 4 compositions is filled with soothing electronic progressions immersed in vapor and mist. The difference comes in with the addition of groovey, acidic synthesizers and lightly bouncing electronic shuffles around it. By the way, if to spot on the gloomy nature of the drones and glacial atmosphere overhead these tracks do provide some similarities with industrial tinged electronica. However, despite its sparse instrumentation Molven`s mini release is an interesting listening satisfying the thirst for demanding electronic music.
Angelo Taylor — Космические Картины (2013)
8.0
/Trance, Eurodance, Psyambient, Robot pop, New Age, Kosmische Musik, Mood music, Electronic pop, Space synth/
Comment: this album embraces 12 tracks with the end point of the course at 43.49. The whole relies on the extensive use of synthesizers, and autotuned, robot-alike vocal bits thereby drifting somewhere in between Tangerine Dream, and the classical Kraftwerk. This side is very convincing and enjoyable based on exciting sounds and solid compositions. On the other side, there are up other elements either - for instance, cheesy trance-y rhythms mixed up with banal eurodance beats which used to be an adverse element coming from within the whole at times. Yet, some trance-induced tracks used to have reliance on psychedelic templates thereby are allowed to be accomplished. If to explore the tracks more closely the listener can discover for the ones are dedicated to particular aeronauts/kosmonauts and one track to Jean Michel Jarre, a sonic astronaut.
