SKULLFLOWER - "IIIrd Gatekeeper" digi-CD (Crucial Blast) - 10 euro - Post-industrial / noise / industrial-rock. Reissued 15 years after its original 1992 release, Skullflower's IIIRD GATEKEEPER is considered by many to be the most accessible album by the "difficult" U.K. power-noise ensemble. However, given the acceptance and relative mainstreaming (if articles in the New York Times count as such) of noise music in the form of avant-garde metal bands such as Om, Sun O))), and Earth, it seems as if Skullflower may have simply been a little early to the show. The band's extreme electric caterwaul is certainly not for everyone, but there's a definite sort of beauty here as well, albeit an unconventional one. Skullflower were underground noise freaks during the '90s; in the 2000s they deserve to be held up as maverick noise experimentalists who were, in fact, way ahead of the times (and the Times).

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - "Dead Weather Machine" CD (Manifold) - 11 euro -  Dark exquisite ambient, simply perfect The titanic waves of impenetrable sonics slowly swing from out of the far-away darkness like the tentacles of some galaxy-sized beast, moving through clouds with the power of a silk-covered sledgehammer, thudding at the other side of the world. Several tracks of slightly differing technique are just chilling, huge and deep...scary deep. Like the electrically-charged shade of Lustmord's 'Place Where The Black Stars Hang'. Monstrous. Somehow threatening. The previous SRF record, 'Nostromo' used the first few seconds of the film 'Alien' to create an expansive, chilling work of ambient. Here, the artist was living in a small flat in the UK with a heating/ac unit that was slowly breaking down, clogged with dust, slowly choking on it's own decay. Dead Weather Machine tells monstrous tales of things and places and feelings that it's common beginnings would never seem to suggest. But then imagine being as small as a piece of dust, trekking through some enormous, dying mechanical landscape, the sounds of world-sized storms swirling all around you. A microscopic entity, floating for ages through the channels and chambers of an enormous, dying machine, a machine that makes the weather for an entire world. A machine that is slowly dying.

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - "Nostromo" CD (Cold Spring) - 11 euro - Ultra deep ambience, based on the first 8 minutes of the movie 'Alien' which depicts the deep space haulage vessel slowly moving through the void.

Colossal dark ambience from the abyss, with beautiful artwork that evokes the sinister atmosphere of the ship. 'Nostromo' was reissued in December 2007 with bonus track 'Narcissus'.

SLEEP RESEARCH FACILITY - "Deep Frieze" CD 2007 (Cold Spring) - 11 euro  - Ultra deep, glacial Dark Ambient, based around Antarctic co-ordinates. The polar regions are awe-inspiring environments of inhospitable minimalism, and at the same time there's a beautiful serenity to be found in their uncharted bleakness. There's a powerful purity and a timelessness to be found there; snow which has lain un-trampled for millennia and ice which formed eons ago; mountain ranges and deserts and rivers to be found if you look. 'Deep Frieze' is SRF's second album for Cold Spring and here deep, resonant, abyss-like drones shine forth from icy chasms below.

SLEEPING PICTURES - "Many Hands Should Throw Stones" CD 2006  (Old Europa Cafe) - 8 euro -  This includes sombre piano pieces, experimental soundscapes and an expansion upon the electric guitar work hinted at on their previous release.

Nordic Industrial/Combative Noise/.  There will be a day when some books will be burnt, and other rewritten. It will be a different language, of different people, not understandable for us, something completely non-verbal, related to the highest form of communication. When this language will sound, the mind will be silent, but the sense will come right into the heart. Noise is also a language, a different text, possible prototype or an echo, an attempt to transfer the knowledge to another level, to understand Thule. In ideological and musical ways the release of the new project from Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, continues the line started by the first act - UFA01 ANTARKTIDA - the concentration of the Northern emanation: rough noisewaves, cryptographic industrial, technocratic power ambient.
