Mumble Mumble Mumble - Mumble Mumble Mumble (2011)
8.0
/DIY, Math metal, Doom metal, Improvised music, Math rock, Experimental rock, Post-metal/
Comment: This is the debut release by a duo from Turin, Italy having 8 tracks within 21 minutes in total. More particularly does it mean that they are densely searching for a seamless realm between doom/doom metal and math rock/math rock, among other details having experimented with the speed of rhythms, at times having their sound on hold, i.e slowing it really down. On the other side, it is a joyous, improvised DIY-esque notch. An interesting output and apparent evidence of what it is possible to do just with a bass guitar, vocal and drums.

[P.U.T] My Sun Is Dying EP (2010)
9.2
/Sludge, Avant-metal, Experimental metal, Noise, Industrial, Crossover, Remixes/Comment: This is a great single/EP from a Brussel-Paris-based experienced trio, which does blend high-energized, monumentum-filled sludge hammering and mud devouring vocal lines with the glimpses of experimental electronica and solid sonic effects. The issue includes a remix by Garlic.wav as well which by any means does add propulsive, slightly mutilated jungle rhythms to it. A superb workout indeed.
Taiga - Aralar (2010)
9.2
/Drone doom, Ambient drone, Dark ambient, Soundscape, Minimal, Post-rock, Post-metal, Ambient rock, Guitar ambient, Sound-art/
Comment: Taiga is a Spanish-rooted project having directed its spot on manipulated guitars and synths on several issues. The recent case is wrapped up into a peculiar form wherein one of 7 tracks lasts approximately 1 hour on its permanent variation. It altogether makes out about 100 minutes of atmospheric soundscapes, tremulously fluctuating guitar chords and spacious, slightly rocking environments and post-metal-esque stomping and creeping septums-infiltrations. A potent and beautiful accomplishment indeed.
Talkative - Strange Luxuries (2011)
7.9
/Anti-folk, Alt-folk, Experimental folk, Free folk, Singer-songwriter, Lo-fi, DIY/
Comment: This is another open contexted recorded album from USA which by its sonic feats is based on acoustic guitar strummings and strange synth sounds in the backdrop, moreover, including even radiowave manipulations and sunshiny samples from a track of the golden age of disco within it. This workout by its aesthetical approach could freely be a part of the Indiana-based CLLCT.

Pretty Lights - Unreleased 2010 Remixes (2011)
The Pretty Lights
8.7
8.7
/Hip-hop, Electronic pop, Funk, Urban music, Remixes, Club dance, Live session/
Comment: The cult dance music figure Derek Vincent Smith from Colorado is back again, more detailly, this time having joyously remixed the luminaries such as Pink Floyd, Jay Z, Kanye West, James Brown and others during a gig in the end of 2010 in Chicago. No doubt, this live session was fulfilled with hypnotic gear frequencies, cinematic samples, psychedelic synth cores and fluttering digital funk frames, as the final result, the album only strenghtens his reputation as a magical beat wizard.
