The Sprawl - a scindicate of mutant sound carriers individually known as Logos, Mumdance and Shapednoise. Inspired by Gibson's notions of uploaded consciousness in a post-human society, and the way in which the sensory-scrambling effects of technology have played out across our collective reverie, EP1ventures four cuts of retina-scorching dis-torsion and chrome-burning modular synth work.

Jarboe, Swans, Justin K Broderick, Godflesh, Experimental, Electronic, Industrial; CD (promo copy - no back CD card)
Two of the most prolific, restlessly creative, and influential artists in underground music join forces; the result sounds closest to Jarboe's dark, gothic electronics. Sonically, J2 sounds most like the terrain Jarboe has been exploring as a solo artist: dark electronica, laced, bound, and gagged with goth, psychedelia, and metal. Yet the seeds of this album were planted during the Jarboe-sung "Storm Comin'" from Jesu's recent Lifeline EP-- a dance-y, swirly, poppy track, perhaps even recorded during the same session as these. J2 opener "Decay" begins with eerie, heavily effected Jarboe yodels with a spooky synth-bass churning underneath. Then you get blasted with that thunderous distorted bass-- also an echo of sorts, showing how Broadrick's grit-doom bass from the first few industrial-based Godflesh albums owed a ton (operative word meaning heavy) to the Swans' early nightmare stomps.

You could neither classify Regression as a Noise record nor an Ambient one, instead the synth dissections and tape treatments more closely reference early electronic music. 'Trapped' offers little of the claustrophobia suggested by its title, although the continual woody knocking sounds and filthy oscillations do engender a sense of unease, while 'Dread' brings to mind the Desmond Briscoe soundtrack to Nigel Kneale's The Stone Tape. 'Under The Skin' returns to the more esoteric, intangible sound designs that characterised the album's opening, writhing around in a spluttering, tactile fashion that's at once sonically rather beautiful and deeply sinister, modulating through grisly synthesiser gestures while more textural, percussive sounds flood through dub-style tape delays.

From the ominous darkness and intensity of its opening moments, one might expect a death metal album to break out in an instant, but Theory of Machines is an album whose design is as symphonic as it is confrontational - the tempo doesn’t pick up, no hooks or vocals arrives, and when the drums finally kick in they are as fragmented and corroded as they could possibly be and still resemble a groove.
In Theory of Machines, Ben Frostexploits every extreme of pitch, volume and timbre, the changes in music sometimes seem as gradual as changes in the weather - and sometimes as violent. As the music changes it changes only in textures, colour and intensity so that the sense is not of something being created, altered or even developed, but of something already present being slowly illuminated.

Take a brief listen to any of the dusky tunes that Frederikke Hoffmeier has released as Puce Mary, and a startlingly bleak picture begins to form. Grating percussive scraping and nail-on-chalkboard vocalizations dominate her creeping compositions, even as her instrumental work runs the gamut from deafening drones to clattering industrial drum beats. It's a bitter and icy collection of short form pieces and collaborations when taken as a single entity, but her first LP Success didn't provide a compelling full-length exploration of that tenebrosity. With Persona, her 2014 record for Posh Isolation, she's finally figured out how to present her strain of nauseating noise as a totemic, engaging whole.

OAKE's music is easily placed on the experimental axis formed by Downwards and Blackest Ever Black.The Berlin duo's music proceeds with the same funereal elegance as Raime's and, like Kerridge, who collaborates with OAKE's Eric Goldstein as UF, it swarms with plunging basslines born at a point where jungle, dubstep and drone collide. But OAKE are nonetheless a distinctive presence. Auferstehung ("resurrection") often sounds like a contemporary classical ensemble scraping and thwacking its way through a score.

First released as a limited cassette back in 2012 on Posh Isolation, Age Coin's EP 'Perceptions' is given a full release by Helm's label Alter. It's a mesmerising record of strung-out drone, the whirr of machines, the hiss of analogue distorted and turned into monolithic slabs of noise, the occasional kick of a drum rising up from its dark depths.

A killer side of distorted synth drone and noise textures, on Luke 'Helm' Younger's excellent Alter label, Alter look to the grey gloom of Denmark's cultishly observed industrial/noise scene with this 3rd LP refinement by the Posh Isolation label's Christian Stadsgaard and Loke Rahbek. In their various roles with Sarah's Charity, Sexdrome, Lust For Youth and many more beside, the duo have explored myriad strains of coldwave pop, trashy punk, black metal and noise, yet together for their 3rd side as Damien Dubrovnik, they veer down bleakest alleys of distorted synth drone and noise texture, fighting their more earnest urges with a more refined sorta discipline drawing on precedent influence from European Industrial and DIY synth traditions. We're reminded of everyone from Throbbing Gristle to Maurizio Bianchi, and much like Rahbek's work with Lust For Youth, we can't escape the brooding melodic similarities with Dominick Fernow's work for Cold Cave, and multifarious other operations on Hospital Productions - Lussuria, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, Alberich. Highly Recommended.

Ambient experimental noise on Hospital Productions Records. Limited to 300 copies. With a silkscreened gatefold cover.
The music of Jonathan Borges and Shannon Kennedy of Pedestrian Deposit could best be described as highly composed, focused and dynamic, experimental music that draws on their widely varying music talents. From Borges’s interest in such areas as electronics, tape loops, sampling, field recording, and feedback, to Shannon’s use of classical instruments, contact mics and manipulated metal objects, the duo combine elements of musique concrete, ambient, drone, classical and harsh noise.

Long awaited reissue of Croatian Amor’s debut album from 2013. The World marked a switch in the project from the earliest tape experiments and this debut is in many ways a key release in the back catalogue of Posh Isolation. In 2013 the press text read;
" The World is the debut album by Croatian Amor, following a long row of limited tapes on Posh Isolation. The World utilizes the same method of collaged melodies and real sounds, as the project has done up until now, but on the debut LP the pieces feel more thought out. The album runs like a soundtrack on which the actors’ voices were never cut from the score, field recordings and synth blends together in a beautiful yet nauseating audio pool. Transit, plastic interior, insomnia, pornography and being alone. Being alone in large groups of people, being alone in thousands of years of civilization, being alone in a lover’s bed copulating."
Housed in two generic white sleeves –an inner sleeve into a sturdy one– together with two double-sided full-colour inserts instead of a traditional cover and a single-sided black-and-white insert with the tracklist, a poem and credits.

This is easily one of the most violent and dark releases PARASITIC label have released. 15 years after his first release on MALIGNANT and numerous releases on FREAK ANIMAL, ANT-ZEN, and EIBON amongst others, the hateful assault has only increased and become more fervent. The sound of a brooding blood lust, nightmare realities and contempt for mindless scum surrounding you. A hatred in your blood, pounding your brain.
