Globoscuro - Riccardo III (2012)
9.1
/Avant-industrial, Hauntology, Avant-garde, Drone, Spoken word, Crossover, Psycho-acoustic/
Comment: Globoscuro, the Livorno, Italy-based musical project provides 8 notches spreaded out over 54 minutes. It involves the elements of spoken word and ghastly sort of industrial music which used to be full of hysterical despair, painful female crying and paralyzing angst which used to step by step bulge throughout the course. Now and then the result is managed to pour out into a mystical and theatrical sea reminding a little of Alio Die (also from the same country), for instance.
Spell - Hex (2011)
9.3
/Drone, Ambient drone, Experimental electronica, Avant-garde, Experimentalism/
Comment: the centre of this 4-track release is made up of ethereal female vowel effects which is adorned with pitchbent layers and hazy, billowy electronic manipulations. By nature the album is a little bit dark-hued, however, being filled in with suggestive repetitions, and fluttering loops. In a word, it is a creepy, stalking whole which seems to be built upon the same aspects, though, being re-ranked permanently. However, the exception is focused upon Just a Matter of Time which slightly resembles of Bjork due to its electro-drenched incantation/shamanism.
Acre4 - April In March (2012)
9.3
/Alternative, Leftfield, Downtempo, Chamber rock, Post-rock, Indietronica, Epic/
Comment: Acre4 is a French duo whose music on the recent issue used to rotate around soothing guitars, lush ascension of orchestrations and sampled voice snippets which are backed up by angular beat programming, however, stylistically extending from elusive indietronic appearances and subdued (down)tempo to highly anthemic chamber and post-rock jitters.

Wrong Way Home - Forest Spawn (2011)
9.2
/Avant-industrial, Experimentalism, Abstract electronica, Drone, Avant-garde, Noise, Industrial illbient, Non-music, Pyscho-acoustic, Acousmatics/
Comment: this 8-track whole starts off with booming bass billets tightly surrounded by dark-tinged spheres and abrasive oscillations which in turn are filled in with spoken word snippets, nihilistic noise examples, organic concrete sounds, and intensive, white-coloured industrial droning and looping bits. In contrast, there are up some notches which used to flutter in a more restraint way comprising soft synth vibes and (relatively) dormant electronic gears, out of gravity-hued layers and much more. Indeed, many more aspects.
The OO-Ray – Waimea (2011)
9.4
/Ambient, Ambient drone, Shoegaze, Post-rock, Experimental rock, Minimal, Epic/
Comment: this set of a handful of compositions tends to drift between ethereal and noiseful territories searching for redemption due to these amplified reciprocal poles. Stylistically it appears to be highly epic and majestic shifting somewhere inbetween anthemic, symphonical propulsions and compelling droning outlets and beatific post-rock-esque panoramas. Furthermore, at times these sonic progressions do reach lofty shoegaze-tinged points and undulating anchors (Bee Symphony). Indeed, the album includes a batch of stylistical and sonical infiltrations and organic transmissions.
