Reviews


Cloama + Blutleuchte - From Wasteland Mausoleums
Behind many of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's works lies a hidden terror, an incomprehensible force that if beheld in material form often led to madness. The foreboding sound of "From Wasteland Mausoleums" is reminiscent of such strange stories.

Pixelh8 - The Boy With The Digital Heart
You can't get more retro than this if you're into this kind of stuff. And like popping up your favourite cartridge in your favourite 80's system, this will - strangely - bring you back all those memories that only those wonderful devices can usually replenish.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_pixelh8_tbwtdh.htm


Suicide Booth - Aura EP
Despite the obvious influences and similarities to many 80's genres, "Aura" has a sort of intemporality to it which would probably make it a great record had it been released anywhere between the 1960's and the 2030's, and maybe even beyond.

Universal Poplab - Uprising
'Gay Synthpop', in the third, non-homophobic sense of the word, is an acquired taste, especially amongst those who enjoy harder electronic music. Universal Poplab, as their name suggests, have broad appeal and should be heading straight for the pop charts. If only synthpop was in fashion again!

Tor Lundvall - The Seasons Unfold (sampler)
The music is soft and delicate, pleasant while occasionally suggesting a little darkness, especially on the closing track "November's Fields". Gentle melodies flow calmly into the listener's conscience and spacious instrumental arrangements provide soothing release.
