Grausam Frühjahr ~ Descent/Ascent

A hand-numbered cassette with hardly any information at all?  Doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that this is going to be Noise. Harsh, droning Noise. This Napolitano artist requires fairly patient listeners, as Ascent/Descent works on a long time

Adrian Aniol ~ Arrhythmia

TQA Records’ first full-length release is a mysterious beauty, a tribute to the filmmaker James Hartley, who died last year at the age of 30.  His untimely demise is the ghost that hovers over Adrian Aniol‘s score to Hartley’s film

Marta Mist ~ Crack the Sun to Yield a Blood Red Sky/A Soldier’s Trench

Sujo ~ Eilat

Let’s get the obvious observation out of the way first.  Sujo‘s Eilat may be a Quiet World release, but it sure ain’t quiet.  After a minute of low end hum, cascading crumbles of radio interference begin to crash the party.

Star Turbine ~ Equilibrium

Striate Cortex’s 44th release is a quality keepsake, a double CD3″ cushioned in a little black box.  The color is aptly chosen; Equilibrium calls to mind the wheezing of iron lungs, the gurgling of scuba equipment and the squeal of
