Salute the oncoming winter solstice with Menace Ruine, that’s my advice…the latest release from this Canadian black metal project is The Die Is Cast (ALIEN8 ALIENCD82), a fatalistic title for a CD decorated with sombre, candle-blackened religious icons from the orthodox church and suggesting that mankind’s destiny is a nightmarish combination of many-headed monsters,...

From Vancouver in Canada we have a couple releases described as ‘experimental noise works’ and attributed to Absolute Value of Noise. On Magnetic Focus, we have eight recordings based around a wire coil antenna and a receiver, picking up VLF frequencies generated by lighting, power lines, mobile phones and computers.

In keeping with the Autumnal climes, Sone Institute have packed a number of dried leaves into the jewel case of Silver Leaves and Woolly Dreams (THREE TOWERS RECORDINGS 013), a six-track EP in CD form. Also some small feathers and cut-out paper shapes. I suppose the same playful spirit may be discerned on the...
The amazing Swedish artist Per Svensson sent me Intergalactic Transmission!, along with a number of other interesting documents and releases which are buried in another cardboard box destined for later exhumation.
