Reviews


Signalform + Tachikoma - Understanding Media
Not quite beat-driven, but certainly not devoid of abstract rhythm, well-produced and squeaky-clean in its sound dynamics, "Understanding Media" won't necessarily provide any global communications epiphanies or surpass any typical IDM frontiers, but it will undoubtedly de-stress the hectic postmodern life.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_signalformtachikoma_um.htm


Zonk't - -trope
Laurent Perrier is a name you definitly will hear more about in the future. A multi-talented musican / artist with much more capabilities then just one single style. And not many artists are capable of
excelling in multiple genres.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_zonkt_t.htm


Glaukom Synod - Uczulony
This is still a fair deal better than so many of the other electro/noise/grindcore mashup bands out there, and all in all, despite the inherent problems mentioned, this is still a good release. Some of the songs really just makes you want to get up and rhythmically punch someone in the face!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_glaukomsynod_u.htm


Ova Looven - Gravity Has Expired
Combining the post punk and shoegaze of New York with a dreamier, electro-ambient toolkit, Ova Looven's new 12" single yields easy listening and sweetness but is by no means without depth.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_ovalooven_ghe.htm


V/A - Beyond Ignorance And Borders
C-drik clearly understands the exotic allure of foreign sounds set in a contemporary experimental context but didn't quite get the balance right with this compilation, as many of the tracks sound a little generic and don't really connect the listener with their origins.

Interviews


Peter Lee - Force Of Nature
The brainchild of Peter Lee, a DJ from Providence, Rhode Island, Force Of Nature has been an active label for over five years. Closely associated with the Rhode Island Noise/Industrial festival, and now Forced Distribution, Force Of Nature is an outlet for quality electronics, having been home to releases in genres that range from dark ambient and power eletronics to breakcore.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_forceofnature.htm



Reviews


Tetra Plok - Fear Of A Blind Date
Tetra Plok is a throwback to the days of Punk and New Wave but a very original and well-produced one nevertheless, easily dwarfing most of what was released under the umbrella of the Electroclash trend.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_tetraplok_fobd.htm


Elekore - Voluntary Human Extinction
Judging from this short album, Elekore is one of the few projects that can be honestly described as electronic punk music, as their music and dedication to it sounds as genuine as it gets and definitely more convincing than some higher-profile acts around.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_elekore_vhe.htm


Nightech - Deviation
Affiliated with the Russian Lagunamuch community of abstract and ambient electronic artists, Nightech confronts us with the otherworldly vastness of the cold and empty reaches between the stars. Bleak drones and sinister reverberations characterize his music in "Deviation".
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_nightech_d.htm


Kirdec - Killed by a Coconut
Despite of the harsh, aggressive sound of "Killed by a Coconut", the tracks of this album are dedicated to the very delicate question of veganism and senseless animal slaughter. It's worth noting that this album, whether you like it or not, does force one to ponder the issue.

Interviews


Squid - It-Clings, Rock'n'Roll Super God
Known for his participation in the T.I.K., Squid started his own record label, the viscerally named Bugs Crawling Out Of People. Concurrently he developed the persona of the Rock'n'Roll Super God It-Clings, an angry and misanthropic in the extreme spoken wordcore project which, following a string of colaborations with respected artists, recently released its full-length debut album.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_itclings.htm



Reviews


Connect_icut - LA (An Apology)
So in the end we have a nice looking LP with two sides of great music that covers a lot of territory. If you happen to be a fan of Connect_icut's past work, you're in for a treat because "LA" definitely shows how far he's progressed since his first album.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_connecticut_laap.htm


One Man Nation - Rained And It Rained, Bullets It Rained
A high level of skill is shown in the music contained within, a convincingly delivered exercise in sophisticated and emotional electronica with some surprising instrumental elements to confound the listener's expectations.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_onemannation_rairbir.htm


Dyspraxia - A Pound Of Flesh
At the cost of one pound British money, in addition to a witty pun, this is a great bargain. Hopefully, the money Dyspraxia makes with this release might lead to some interesting developments and improvements in his so far reasonably adequate work.

Interviews


Marc Desforges - Geska Records
Geska Records is, in fact, the alliance of eternal music mingled with the body movements of those half-dressed souls still able to inspire the spiritual grace of great civilizations and all the sensual delight of our modernity.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_geskarecords.htm



Reviews


Bleiburg - Way Of Crosses
If you're looking for an amalgam of the bizarre, Bleiburg's "Way of Crosses" is exactly what you need. At times militaristic, often bombastic, but always atmospheric, this record veers across genre borders resulting in a celebration of dark diversity.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_bleiburg_woc.htm


Munkie - Dark Corners
Characterized by downtempo rhythms and unhurried lyricism, "Dark Corners" recalls the unmistakable, relaxed and soulful UK electro-lounge sound, and the band naturally evokes comparisons to such varied artists as Massive Attack, Portishead, Hooverphonic and Zero 7.

Interviews


Albéric Giegger - [walnut + locust]
Simultatenously a music webzine and record label, the Montréal-based [walnut + locust] record label is one of those very small "do it yourself" record labels that so easily (and undeservedly) slips under the radar. Despite small, their output includes some rather interesting material from lesser-known talent and a few well-known acts from the field of experimental electronic music.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_walnutlocust.htm



Reviews


Amp - All Of Yesterday Tomorrow
Amp's ability to manually or electronically manipulate, transform and weave sound into haunting landscapes propels the battered psyche of our century into an uncharted domain. This is music for a genetically modified generation.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_amp_aoyt.htm


Erthad - Gma
The music quite fast grasps you by your throat and gives you an uneasy feeling which lasts up onto somewhere in the midst of the third track. From that moment on you surrender to the feeling and you experience a certain beauty in its oppressive atmosphere.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_erthad_g.htm


Lietterschpich - I Cum Blood In The Think Tank
Slow and heavy, noisey and nicely layered, full of agression and other emotions and actually good to play an several occasions. Best would be if you have the feeling the world is against you and you just want to react: you'll find soulmates in that by playing this album.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_lietterschpich_icbittt.htm


Samarkande / Oblivion Ensemble - Samarkande / Oblivion Ensemble
Sometimes we are being sent CD's and we don't know what to expect at all. When we get to listen we can e fully surprised by its beauty, without ever having heard of a project's name. And this split-release by the projects Samarkande and the Oblivion Ensemble is such an example.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_soe.htm


Maurizio Bianchi + Maor Appelbaum - Environmental Meditations
There is a lot of good here in sound design and layering though some of the pieces seem a bit long and repetitious after awhile. It's a fairly good effort from both contributors and a lot more interesting than most the "noise" polluting CD and CD-R format these past few years...

Interviews


Herwig Holzmann - Photophob
The main music-project of the prolific Austrian Herwig Holzmann, Photophob navigates between ambient, broken beats, electronica and idm, incorporating influences and inspiration from classic science fiction literature into his musical compositions. His is not music to dance to or to be pretentiously clever, it is music to take listeners away on oneiric journeys bound only by the frontiers of imagination.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_photophob.htm



Reviews


Sonic Area - Explore
With "Explore" Sonic Area succeeded in surpassing expectations, which were comprehensibly set rather high after his previous album, and takes the listener on a disturbing and involving exploratory journey to the dark corners of the human psyche, the areas where instincts such as primal fear reside.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sonicarea_e.htm


Battery Cage - Product (2005)
As a whole, the album is primitive and raw, but that very rawness carries with it a sincerity lacking in many modern acts. Overall, the late-nineties influences are unmistakable, the tape hiss imperfections are endearing and the overriding feeling is one of nostalgia.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_batterycage_p2005.htm

Reviews


Social Ambitions - Burning
Much electronic music takes bedroom acts through a veritable minefield of pitfalls and clichés - armed with a flexible technology to write music and the desire to stand out - but blindfolded nevertheless. Social Ambitions use a sixth sense in their song writing and sound creation that allow them to pass through this unscathed.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_socialambitions_b.htm


Nikka - Isotopos
With "Isotopos", the debut-album of Barcelona-based artist Nikka, the electronic music and art label/collective Lovethechaos (also from Barcelona) brings us a fourth release of quality precision experimental electronic music and exquisite design.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_nikka_i.htm


Neurobash - Spoiled
This is serious fun, with well executed songs and decent production values though the overall offering is drenched in unselfconscious naiveté to say the least. If you're expecting hard EBM antichrists from this label, look elsewhere.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_neurobash_s.htm


Quelles Paroles - What If I Would Die Right Here on The Spot?
There's not a great deal wrong with a band wearing its (Depechist) influences on its sleeves, nor is there anything wrong with attempting depth or comment on a deliberately saccharine platform. This release treads deep water in both of these areas but still has its moments.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_quellesparoles_wiiwdrhots.htm

Reviews


Empusae + Nick Grey - Simple Black Lines in a Diagram
This is a disc that can and is almost meant to hit the mainstream, if only to showcase and share the enjoyment of this gem that would normally go undetected by the mass electronic music media and market. "Simple Black Lines in a Diagram" is meant for cult status.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_empusaenickgrey_sbliad.htm


The Infant Cycle - Playout
Two tracks of differing mood and presence, both with their merits and contrasting styles but both equally intriguing, presenting The Infant Cycle as an artist with a refined and well-versed ability to manipulate and reconstruct source sounds into something completely new and interesting.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_infantcycle_p.htm


Telepherique - Slowmotion
Dedicated to "people who try to simplify their life in modern times marked with materialism, business, stress and sickness", This disc is a very enjoyable experience and if Telepherique's other output is of this high of quality, he is definitely doing something right.

Interviews


Andi Schramm - Fich-Art
Fich-Art was founded in late 1989 by the members of Ars Moriendi to promote their music. It is a non-commercial underground label which, in addition to its own tape and CD-R releases, features a huge backcatalogue of recent Ant-Zen artists
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_fichart.htm



Reviews


Plastic Operator - Different Places
If you're looking for something completely different to the norm then this is totally an album you need to consider buying. To take a quote from the band themselves "Plastic Operator are the perfect pop group for our times".
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_plasticoperator_dp.htm


Reptiljan - Archaeodermophagia
The main progression here is the conversion from working with digital means to completely analogue sound sources, and the dilution of noise with some surprisingly musical elements is the principal way in which this album stands out from the noise crowd.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_reptiljan_a.htm


Circumjecta - Ulchi Hop
If nervous breakdowns had soundtracks, "Ulchi Hop" - a selection of so-called "enigmatic rhythms and unknown harmony" by Russian composer/producer Circumjecta - would definitely be on the recommended listening list.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_circumjecta_uh.htm


Dunaewsky69 - Xquisite.Xcerpt
The sophomore release of the young Ukrainian label Kvitnu, "Xquisite.Xcerpt" features an evolvution from what seems a loose colection of ideas into robust, coherent and precise electronic compositions.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_dunaewsky69_xx.htm


The Garland Cult - Protect Yourself From Hollywood
If partying until dawn isn't really your scene then, at the very least, this album would create a pleasant soundtrack for relaxing with a tasty martini or putting on your makeup (regardless of gender).
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_garlandcult_pyfh.htm


Neongrau - Spam'n'Space
Classic synthpop in the proper early 80's style, but inevitably with the benefit of modern recording technology to lend it a cleaner, smoother sound. A couple of tasteful and emotional tracks leave the impression that this is a band that could definitely become a name to watch out for in the future.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_neongrau_sns.htm


Mordacious - Torture Tactics
Mordacious' "Torture Tactics" displays some of the best and, unfortunately, worst harsh electro and EBM elements on offer today but, in the end, there are definite gems on this record. With time, his music can easily grow into mature, cynical brilliance, unconcerned with what others think.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_mordacious_tt.htm


Saemskin - A Simile For Murder
Saemskin might not be the best produced album, but it is certainly a courageous one. The tracks are extensive narrations of a surreal dimension populated by musical monsters; one that accepts hallucination as contractile fact.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_saemskin_asfm.htm

Reviews


Soiled - Shambolic Psychotic
Soiled is probably one of the more obscure (and thankfully unpolished) jewels of British fringe experimentalism whose music as a whole (not just "Shambolic Psychotic") deserves to be discovered and appreciated.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_soiled_sp.htm


V/A - Women Take Back The Noise
A very strong collection of work by female Noise artists. If this is only a sample of what women are currently offering this scene, I think that the men who lazily blast feedback in the name of art have something to be truly scared of!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_wtbtn.htm


Slow Soldier - New Under The Volt
An album equally suited for a IDM dancefloor mix, a breakneck road trip or a urban commute amongst wires, concrete, steel and the omnipresent haze of artificial light. If you have grown tired of banal beats and similar sounds then "New Under The Volt" is the refreshing break that you are looking for.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_slowsoldier_nutv.htm


Randy Greif & Kenji Siratori - Narcoleptic Cells
Only and wholly defined by ever-shifting sound, this otherwise characteristic dark ambient body, with its morphing atmospherics accompanied by infinitesimal moments of intelligible spoken word, is as good as it gets.

V/A - Whiteline Volume 2
"Whiteline Vol. 2" is a vinyl-only, limited edition release consisting of five exclusive tracks from a few rising artists in the post-industrial domain of noisy beats. A short format which could work for Aentitainment if only the tracks themselves were more forceful.

Jacek Kozlowski - Artoffact Records
During its 10 years of existence, this Canadian label has kept a consistent output of quality releases featuring artists from all over North America and Europe. In addition to counting with some rather well-known artists in their roster, Artoffact Records was also responsible for the debut of acts like Urceus Exit and Cabaret from Poland.

Reviews


Erdem Helvacioglu - Altered Realities
The sublime odyssey of "Altered Realities" is an inspired nomadic epic, and although there exist some moments more shadowed than others, it is overall a joyful paean of spiritual awakenings..
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_erdemhelvacioglu_ar.htm


V/A - Modus Vivendi Vol.2
An excellent compilation that will definitely give you a way out of your empty, meaningless mockery
of a desk life and into a sunnier, warmer place, right up to the cool night party by the beach, in just 61 minutes. Just make sure you don't get fired for daydreaming on it.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_mvmv2.htm


Sci Fi Industries - Drafts And Crafts
The album in its entirety is a very powerful and energetic work, housing immense aggression in its sound without succumbing to the rigid cliché of obligatory harshness of the genre. Sci Fi Industries manages to make cold look cool (pun intended) instead of forced with this release.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_scifiindustries_dac.htm


Darren Tate - Small Worlds
Tate's latest release, "Small Worlds," is precisely as its title implies - windows seemingly opened in the air, cutting through the very substance of atmosphere and reality to offer fathomless views into realms both mystical and (ironically) minute.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_darrentate_sw.htm


Phragments - The Burning World
If you enjoy dramatic martial overtures and neo-classical post-industrial anthems but feel alienated by the political claptrap offered by other artists in the genre, this is the release for you.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_phragments_tbw.htm


Battery Cage - A Young Person's Guide to Heartbreak
"A Young Person's Guide to Heartbreak" is the second release from this US-based four-piece to be released through the Metropolis label. With a pretty good track record and a sizeable following under their belt, Battery Cage naturally have some expectations set.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_batterycage_aypgth.htm


Control Alt Deus - Control Alt Deus (demo 2007)
Within a genre as oversaturated with mediocrity as that of dark electro (or "Endzeit EBM", or "Hellektro", or what-have-you) it is a rare pleasure to find something fresh and aurally stimulating hidden amongst the dross. Control Alt Deus' eponymous demo EP affords exactly this.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_controlaltdeus_cad2007.htm


Schultz - BioMekanikal
A fair first effort, but terribly naïve. Schultz has his work cut out for him, developing the basis he has into something more complex and aurally exciting for a second release.

Interviews


Christopher Braucks and C. Constantin Reineck - Æntitainment
"Like seahorses we care a lot about our babies. We don't want them to be sold at supermarkets or megastores. Like good fathers we carefully choose their environment, because we really don't want them to share a cashdesk with toasters, nosehaircutters and mobilephones."
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_aentitainment.htm



Reviews


V/A - Imaginary Friends
An excellent showcase of what Sublight Records was about: uncompromising quality electronics from IDM and downtempo breakbeats to drum'n'bass/jungle, breakcore and even some rock electronics. The music released by Sublight Records probably wasn't for everyone but its overall quality is undeniable.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_im.htm


ManicProject - Square0ne
It is overall an intelligent record, but not nearly dark enough, electronic enough or emotional enough. Brilliant execution, meticulous attention to detail and more commercial potential than you can poke a stick at make for an easy choice for your average sheep at the record store.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_manicproject_s.htm


Freeze Etch - Perjorative
"Pejorative" ends up as nothing more than a broken promise - albeit one that looks really good. It could almost be likened to dating someone that is beautiful but dumb as bricks: your friends may show great interest in the exterior aspects, but there's zero intellectual stimulation involved.

Ben Arp - Crunch Pod
Crunch Pod is an American industrial music label and online web store currently based near Sacramento, California. Crunch Pod, the label, began in 1998 and has grown from a small, limited edition only CDR label to the home to such acts as Caustic, C/A/T, Cervello Elettronico and Manufactura.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_crunchpod.htm



Reviews


Susan Matthews - Hope Bound
More positive in mood than Matthews' previous albums but, while the sound is generally more polished, the intensity of feeling and experimental qualities are all still there. Matthews continues to go from strength to strength with each release, offering something new and interesting every time.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_susanmatthews_hb.htm


JapaneseCARCRASH - BADmachine
Texan musician Casey LeBleu, being neither Japanese nor sounding anything like a car crash, fortunately, has produced plenty of quite enjoyable synthpop moments.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_japanesecarcrash_b.htm


Plastic Violence - Dog Series
During the Chinese year of the dog, Italian experimentalists Plastic Violence released twelve monthly mini-CD singles with canine-themed covers. The tracks are an interesting bunch, generally pretty lo-fi, and Plastic Violence aren't afraid to add noise to the mix.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_plasticviolence_ds.htm


Six Twilights - Six Twilights
Very gentle and ever so slightly folky experimental electronica mostly dominated by manipulated voices and backed up by minimal loops possibly generated by guitars more often than synths. All lovely stuff, just as long as you're not easily bored and you can allow sentimental feelings for simple things.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_sixtwilights_st.htm


Concise - Revive / Flaque - Mindscapes / X_Dynamics - Regular Loader Routine
Three full-length CDs, by three bands that don't really have much in common, packaged together for about the price of one album. Good value, you might say, but what's the point, even though there's plenty of folks out there who will like the sound of this collection?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_concise_r.htm


FrightDoll - Reference Version
You don't even have to listen to this album to tell it's going to be awful. The fact that it's released on an eponymous record label sets alarm bells ringing, as does the dubious imagery of FrightDoll posing smugly in PVC attire over a generic black and red background of circuitry and stars.

Reviews


Avsky - Silent Decay
Avsky is Norwegian and his first album, "Silent Decay", manages to create almost arctic atmospheres, yet still make them sound warm to a certain extent. Because of this the CD knows quite a nice duality (read: tension). Or perhaps this should be considered a schizoid defect?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_avsky_sd.htm


Cenotype - Origins
Origins" is very aptly titled, hinting at the influences behind the act in general as well as the within the record which, despite its faults, is a great release, working on the proven formula of solid, industrial rhythmic noise, with enough of Cenotype's personal twist so as not to sound unoriginal.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_cenotype_o.htm


Pure H - Signia
The various interpretations of "Signia" are each supplied with a unique title (presumably contributed by the remixing artist), and although they span a variety of genres, the remixes exhibit a startling homogeneity in sound and, in some respects, style.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_im.htm


Photophob - Circadian Rhythms
Photophob's music has an upbeat yet abstract quality set to playful synth lines that harks back to the early days of "intelligent dance music" and the heyday of labels like Rephlex and Warp. Although "Circadian Rhythms" initially appears to be a homage to classic IDM, it soon takes a new direction.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_photophob_cr.htm


Storybox - No Dancing Allowed
If you are a fan of the music from the early era of electronic pop music (circa 1980-83) then perhaps this might be worth looking into. However, I can't help but think that if you are not going to give the sound a slight update, then maybe some things should be left as they were.

Interviews


Susan Matthews - Siren Wire
"I'm not familiar with the work of the majority of the bands/artists I've been compared to. I came to this via an aborted classical music education coupled with an interest in popular music. (...) For a few years I consciously put myself into a bubble, I switched myself off to other people's music so that I could focus on my own in a very pure way, to really discover my 'sound'."
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_susanmatthews.htm


Igor & Tanya - The Eastern Front
Israel is probably not the place where one would normally expect to find a record label with a catalog spanning martial music, darkfolk, industrial and noise experimentalism. And yet, that is the kind of material being released by this young label and its noise/experimental side-label T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_easternfront.htm



Reviews


Welle:erdball - Chaos Total
"Chaos Total" is an excellent album full of exciting and moving synthpop anthems produced in the true Welle:Erdball style. That is all you should need to know, end of review!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_welleerdball_ct.htm


Dirtward - Utopia:Banished
"Dirtward" is pure industrial rock from the moment it hits. The apparently single-man project Utopia:Banished has taken a good, hard look back at mid-90s North American coldwave and forged ahead with all the production and genre-bending the intervening years have come to offer.

Machinochrist - Escape From Woolwich Arsenal
As a debut album, "Escape From Woolwich Arsenal" is a very solid piece of work and sets the bar pretty high for subsequent offerings by Machinochrist. Powerful and sincere-sounding, it is bound to appeal to breakcore and hardcore fans, as well as please some industrial music adepts.

Reviews


Red Needled Sea - Old River Blues
Red Needled Sea has a lot to be proud of with "Old River Blues". In fact, several moments here and there are reminiscent of drone luminaries such as Andrew Chalk, which means Alexiades has to be doing something right.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_redneedledsea_orb.htm


Bisclaveret vs. Bruno - Les Mannequins
The lack of variety is a repeated offense by Bisclaveret, which is a shame since the duo has a talent at creating dark soundscapes. Either way, this album is recommended for those seeking a little more literary substance to their bleak soundtracks.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_bisclaveret_lm.htm


O T X - A World In Red
Atmosphere, rhythm, sound: "A World In Red" neglects nothing that could make up a strong electronica release. Moving from cool, dry string textures to full, warm subsonic swells, it creates a ground onto which merciless percussion, bells and arpeggios patter like rain.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_otx_awir.htm


Cordell Klier - Measure Here And Be Now
"Measure Here And Be Now," by the multi-talented American experimental artist Cordell Klier, is very minimal ambient. Almost nothing happens but, luckily, what little does happen is generally pleasing to the trained ear and the tracks move and develop as slowly as the hour hand on a clock.

Interviews


Marcel Nickels - Le Petit Machiniste
The young German label Le Petit Machiniste is a good example that the DIY spirit is alive and well, that musicians - especially those working in underground music genres - can effectively band together, publish their music without the support of big record labels and have a good time while at it!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_lepetitmachiniste.htm



Reviews


Rajapïnta - Bootleg Epiphanies
Rajapinta's "Bootleg Epiphanies" blistered my eardrums, shattered my skull and painted the inside of my cranial cavity with my imploded brains. And then it put everything back together again, only not quite the way it had been before.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_rajapinta_be.htm


Book Of Shadows - Inner World
The possibility of the existence of the thin line between ambient, new age, folk and experimental soundscaping is being researched by the Book Of Shadows collective. This fifth album by the couple Carlton and Sharon Crutcher numbers five tracks that are an impressive mixture of those styles.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_bookofshadows_iw.htm


Neotnas - Spak Deti
While this album isn't for everyone, I would certainly recommend it as an alternative to those who are in dire need of cleansing their musical palette of acts who use every preset in the book and stack them on top of each other.

Interviews


Andrea Marutti - Afe Records
The aim of Afe is to break down the barriers existing in electronic music and its efforts are addressed to all the fearless / open-minded listeners who will be able to get over the terrible shock of seeing such extremely different productions standing side by side.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_afe.htm



Reviews


Conure - The Generation Of Our Grandfathers
Drawing inspiration from first-person accounts of a grim historical reality, Wilson weaved an intricate tapestry of abrasive and oppressive allegoric sound texture manipulations and experimental lo-fi noise compositions.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_conure_tgoog.htm


Talvekoidik - Silent Reflections
An interesting development within the modern electronica scene is that of a number of industrial artists taking a step back from harsh rhythmic noise to create a more mature sound, melding emotional neo-classical with complex IDM beats.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_talvekoidik_sr.htm


Rachel Car - Rachel Car
Steeped in seedy, resonant strings and pattering drums, with coldly processed vocals and minimalist bass, Rachel Car's self-titled effort presses into electroclash but recalls a new wave legacy reminiscent of The Heads or Tom Tom Club.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_rachelcar_rc.htm


Banister - Rotor EP
Altogether, not a bad little EBM record - some brilliant dance floor potential, in particular - but still a little uncoordinated and in need of further studio polishing.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_banister_r.htm


Territory Of Absence - Territory Of Absence
Eight tracks of quality electronica, ranging from subtle dark ambient moods to more intense pieces bordering on industrial, coupled with beautiful and accomplished voices singing operatic classics. An ambitious concept but not without some exectution flaws.

Reviews

Giancarlo Toniutti - Ura itam taala momojmuj lowajamuj cooconaja
Giancarlo Toniutti has done a fabulous job with this release, and it being my introduction to his music, I am now eager to hear more of his solo material. Highly recommended for anyone into drone/ambient music, or anyone wanting a nice meditative piece for a lazy day.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_giancarlotoniutti_uitmlc.htm


a034 - Chemical Nature
Overall well-produced and exceptionally effective, "Chemical Nature" should serve as an indication of Pulici's talent, not to mention a harbinger of hopefully more good things to come from the a034 project.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_a034_cn.htm


Blue Sabbath Black Cheer - untitled
I've never knowingly listened to Blue Cheer, but I've heard plenty Black Sabbath, and Blue Sabbath Black Cheer comes across as evil enough to make them sound like church music.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_bluesabbathblackcheer_u.htm


Parallel Worlds - Obsessive Surrealism
However tempting it is to generalize "Obsessive Surrealism" as bland overall, it is important to recognize the technique from which it springs. Although it may fall short in the ears of the discerning listener, glimmers of skillful achievement still manage to shine through its uninspiring tone.

Scrap.edx / S.O.R.E.H.E.A.D. - Camo Cuts
A label's first release can frequently be considered a broad statement of intent in terms of style and substance and, if good enough, it may even set the bar for future releases. This 12-inch picture vinyl split released on the nascent label Livevil, is one of those releases which sets the bar pretty high.

Interviews


Yann Faussurier - Iszoloscope / Memmaker
Yann Faussurier is the man behind Iszoloscope, a music project started in the late 90s and most notably on the German label Ant-Zen. It's been a couple of years since the last Iszoloscope album, "The Audient Void", so we decided to check in on Yann and find out where he's been hiding.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_yannfaussurier.htm


Fréderic Arbour - Cyclic Law Records
Operating out of Montreal, Canada, Cyclic Law is a label dedicated to promoting talented musicians from the Dark Ambient and Death Industrial/Martial sub-genres of electronic music, with a strong aesthetic focus, giving particular attention to the coordination between the music and the visual aspect of its releases.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/interviews/m_cycliclaw.htm


Reviews


Igorrr - Poisson Soluble
Individually examined, "Poison Soluble" makes absolutely no sense, but it's as a holistic entity that its genius shines through. A refreshing, thoroughly entertaining album the like of which I've never had the pleasure of hearing before.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_igorrr_ps.htm


The Impossible Flower - Anthophobia
Despite its drawbacks, "Anthophobia" is a very good release and an excellent introduction to The Impossible Flower. Perhaps not a masterpiece - though it includes quite a few tracks that can be described as such - but 'another' fine electronic release surely worthy of checking out.

Prometheus Burning - nBoyde raRepi
"nBoyde raRepi", the remix companion disc to Prometheus Burning's recent release, "Beyond Repair" is, in a word, delightful. It's beautifully constructed, dynamic and (probably most importantly - not to mention surprisingly) unique in its sound.

Zavoloka - Viter
With "Viter", Ukrainian experimental electronic artist and designer Zavoloka begins a series of four concept releases dedicated to the traditional four elements of nature. Dedicated to the element of air (the title means "wind" in Ukrainian), "Viter" is the first instalment of this tetralogy.

Alec Empire - The Golden Foretaste Of Heaven
Alec Empire, the iconic producer behind Digital Hardcore Recordings, has in certain respects returned to his digital roots. "The Golden Foretaste of Heaven" (henceforth, TGFH) is musically unsurprising, yet technically pleasing.

Ending what was a rather busy year, Connexion Bizarre ( www.connexionbizarre.net ) was updated on 2007-12-31 with a new webcast, new reviews, some of our staff's music picks for 2007 and new recommended events and links. Chances are that 2008 will be another busy year for us and we hope to be able to keep C.B. as active as in the year that just passed, bringing you regular music showcases with our webcasts and informative music reviews. In any case, we wish you all the best for 2008, may it be better than 2007. Now to business...

Reviewed this week were Queynte "Sincarnate" and ++99 "Weltverstrickung".
This week's webcast features "Lust for Love and Lost for Life" with music selection by Bauke van der Waal and "20071231-0113 Pop" with music selection by M.

Please note that, due to travelling/vacation reasons, the next Connexion Bizarre update is scheduled for January 14th.

Regards and best wishes for everyone in 2008,
Connexion Bizarre

Reviews


++99 - Weltverstrickung
With the freshest EP from this emerging act, the listener is treated to four mature, versatile tracks ranging from accomplished dark ambience, through cleverly modulated feedback patterns and throbbing bass work, culminating in barely-held-in-check tension.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_++99_w.htm


Queynte - Sincarnate
The greatest peril one is always faced with when listening to full-length industrial/rhythmic noise albums is that of similarity: a 30-minute-plus live set is far more than a selection of songs, and that something fails to translate in many cases into a full-length release.
