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.

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.

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.

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.

Nordvargr makes a triumphant return to the darkambient scene after a few years of silence. Having focused more on the harsher and electronic music styles for a while he felt that he had a couple of new ideas to try out and he sure delivers.
"Murkhr" is a multiformat release that spans over a whole vinyl LP and CD and is probably among the most dark journeys into sound that has been made in the studio at Villa Bohult. Imagine the deepest passages from his debut "Awaken" being mixed with solemn orchestrations and shamanistic chants.

THEOLOGIAN comes in the form of the four punishing sequences. A Means By Which To Break The Surface Of The Real offers, with nearly forty-five minutes of material created in collaboration with David Castillo of Primitive Weapons and White Widows Pact, Daniel Suffering of Whorid, Matt Slagle, and engineer Kevin D. Reilly, Jr., who has periodically worked with Bartow since the earliest incarnations of Navicon Torture Technologies in the mid-late 1990s. Noisey offered in part of the album, “THEOLOGIAN's dark industrial pedigree is impeccable… A Means By Which To Break The Surface Of The Real, is a nightmarish affront of torturous industrial rhythms and suffocating drones...” And Heathen Harvest issued, “Bartow is an artist who, like so many of his influential peers from Brighter Death Now to IRM, has been enormously important to our development as fans of industrial music over the past decade and a half... Bartow leads us once again into the deep, dark recesses of the mind and the world…”

Berlin-based Italian producer Shapednoise brings here six tracks of malefic, distorted techno. 'Until Human Voices Wake Us' is the label's first release brokered specifically for vinyl - following their LP reissues of MCMXCI's 'Skogen, Flickan Och Flaskan', and Wanda Group's 'P*ss Fell Out Like Sunlight' - and fits perfectly with their most extreme aesthetics. Consolidating his love of industrial noise, rave and hard techno, 'Until Human Voices Wake Us' could never really be called one or the other - it's a grotty, primal new form that feels like it just slunk out of a bilge pipe. A-side he swerves from crushed, rheumatic rhythms to howling tunnel noise and more ecstatic bluster in the title track, while flipside is given to strobing bass pulses and tense strings, murderous roil 'n drone and a sludgy techno deconstruction.

Nitrogen Narcosis marks the first full length and strongest statement in the Scuba Death repertoire after the privately issued, ruthless ‘Demon Seed’ twelve inch back in 2011. The album alternates between surprising lethargic dance inflections all nestled between 75 & 100 bpm, the normal resting heart rate for adults, and the more conceptual, numbness inducing pieces like "50-70 Meters" and "Nociception." Sequencing plays an integral role on Nitrogen Narcosis as the listener is suddenly thrust into the darkest reaches of the ocean after dark alley grooves are sucked into an aquatic abyss.
