Xabec - Feuerstern
This release doesn't need any words to be advertised towards admirers of Xabec; they will already own the box. People still in doubt about whether to obtain a copy shouldn't wait too long. I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes be a (well deserved) bestseller.

Moljebka Pvlse - Lode Lvx
Most of the time Drone records from Germany - run by the master of drones, Stefan Knappe of Troum - invests in lesser known names or artists who haven't had many releases thus far. So it was a big surprise to see the name Moljebka Pvlse in Drone Records' latest list of releases.

Noise Dreams Machina - In / Out
The noisiest of a recent batch of releases by Drone Records is something of a new name, one Oscar Martin under the moniker Noise Dreams Machina - a name that fits perfectly in the Dream Machines theme from Drone Records.

Shrine - Distorted Legends, Pt.1
Music-wise there is a lot to be discovered here. Nice mellow ambient layers form the basis on which static analog sounds create a feeling of loneliness. On the reverse side, some added bass sounds create an emotion that can only be described by the word mesmerizing...

Edward Ruchalski - Territorial Objects
This album is recommended to anyone who considers themselves fans of older Organum or Nurse With Wound material. If you are into drone and experimental music at all, you would probably be quite content with this album as well.

Wasteful Consumption Patterns - Solder
Although it feels like you've heard everything the album has to offer after only three songs, it is still a memorable selection of music that blurs the lines between breakbeat, digital hardcore, drum'n'bass and industrial.

M-Pex - Phado
"Phado" is wholly Iberian in atmosphere, sensual and melodic with more than a tinge of nostalgic melancholy, evoking an ambience at once tangy and honey-dipped. These are the songs to compliment sentimental and lonely moods, when distance or time renders someone held dear intangible and missed.

Subheim - Approach
On the whole, "Approach" is a rather melancholic and atmospheric body of work which some may consider it as lacking variety in composition and emotion. While these are valid criticism, "Approach" is undoubtedly solid, showing great talent and skilled musicianship as well as great future promise for Subheim's growth as an artist.

Bardoseneticcube & Noises Of Russia - New Orthodox Line
The sheer lack of originality is surprising given the artists involved. At turns it seems to be trying to alienate its audience with ear piercing feedback, then to draw the listener in with much repeated choral motifs, but the balance is uneven and the overall product ill-arranged and unfocused.
