Reviews
	Red Needled Sea - Old River Blues Red Needled Sea has a lot to be proud of with "Old River Blues". In fact, several moments here and there are reminiscent of drone luminaries such as Andrew Chalk, which means Alexiades has to be doing something right. Read more
	Bisclaveret vs. Bruno - Les Mannequins The lack of variety is a repeated offense by Bisclaveret, which is a shame since the duo has a talent at creating dark soundscapes. Either way, this album is recommended for those seeking a little more literary substance to their bleak soundtracks. Read more
	O T X - A World In Red Atmosphere, rhythm, sound: "A World In Red" neglects nothing that could make up a strong electronica release. Moving from cool, dry string textures to full, warm subsonic swells, it creates a ground onto which merciless percussion, bells and arpeggios patter like rain. Read more
	Cordell Klier - Measure Here And Be Now "Measure Here And Be Now," by the multi-talented American experimental artist Cordell Klier, is very minimal ambient. Almost nothing happens but, luckily, what little does happen is generally pleasing to the trained ear and the tracks move and develop as slowly as the hour hand on a clock. Read more
