Comment: this is not the first entry by the Belarusian artist Vitali Harmash aka I/DEX at Recent Music Heroes because a little bit more than 5 years ago I did comments on his great issue Tetrapolar being reissued by Foundamental in 2009. Additionally, I have reviewed an album called Golem (2013, Foundamental) under his own name but it is a little bit different case. Similarly to Tetrapolar Vitali Harmash likes to straddle on borders of volatile ambient, dreamy electronic progressions, silent techno drumming and otherworldly still life. But is does not mean it is only a tamed flow – at Glacier the artist employs outstretched guitar riffs within a glitched-out galaxy as if an alien flying unhurriedly through it. It contains just three compositions (Coral, Glacier, Aurora) clocking in at a 12 minute. It is a pleasant instance of spiritualised experimental electronic music full of imaginable and real creatures who are exploring blissful spherical terrains and the fading of time. Just go out with headphones at a nocturnal hour to glare at the stars and it might be you will see a lonely spaceship over there.

• Brutal metal

Comment: The Toronto, Ontario,Canada-based girlsNames` 11-track issue is a proper issue of grindcore-related music because of having the end at a 11-minute. Indeed, it is an example of grindcore and involving also death metal and trash metal elements though flirting with rusty electronic sounds and rigid programmed drums shamelessly. And those spoken word samples are to provide more creepy atmosphere to the mix and female voices to add unconventionally angriness to the melting pot. At times those samples are to predominate over slightly deformed song structures and broken volume stability as if the artist does give a heck. However, if either this point is the case or not it is not important though because such a sort of attitude is somehow appealing with regard to this style and approach. Let`s call it lo-fi/DIY grindcore. Bedroom grind? Party Up A Red Cup is an example of deranged madness and that makes really sense. At Bandcamp there represented about 40 albums by the artist. The issue is a part of the discography of Torn Flesh Records.

Comment: give in to lust, give up to lust, oh heaven knows we`ll soon be dust. It is an excellent phrase of an excellent song of the best musical group to have ever existed and very probably which come to exist in this way in the future either because of a very sublime interaction between music and lyrics. The song is about a voluptuous woman and the firmness of mind of a man though the same words and the intention of it can be transmitted to this set of 5 compositions by Drehkommando whose music used to balance between body and mind, between sexual desires and spiritual strength. More profoundly, it is a delicate vibe between minimal techno rhythms and fine female vocals (by Doris Mücke who sings in German) as if being a part of the laboratories of such labels as Perlon, Kompakt, and of course the Detroit techno scene. In a more indirect way one can hear krautrock influences. For instance, at somehow resigned Die verzauberte Maschine wherein Doris Stücke repeats: /diese verfluchte Maschinen/these damned(cursed) machines in English/. It chimes like a version of the robots about CAN`s album Soon Over Babaluma (1974, United Artists). Indeed, it is a mechanical, synthetic, motorik funk. The same can be said about the opening track Die Toten haben Strassen. If you are felling yourself depressed and being suppressed by Xanax and you are glaring at a greyish, pointless point in a remote distance while having no mind in your fucked-up brain. The great issue is a part of the discography of Der Kleine Grüne Würfel.
