Reviews
	Stpocold - What Happened Outside Whether you're expecting pure sublime noise, harsh ambient or even a tribute to electronic legends, there's something here for everyone with a taste for a roughly distorted mirror to society. It's loud, misanthropic and likely to offend somebody. Read more
	Mirko Uhlig / Dronæment - Farewell Fields An hour's worth of minimal drone-influenced ambience, showcasing the talent of two emerging names of a new generation of sound artists. Read more
	Aa1 - Live At Electroline "Live at Electroline" is a weird and wonderful journey that is certainly worth taking for those who appreciate sound composition outside the realm of typical auditory comprehension. Read more
	Thermostatic - Joy-Toy (2007) It can be just what the doctor ordered to lift jaded folks out of seasonal depression, with playfully addictive repertoire of Nintendo love songs. Or it could simply annoy the Jesus Christ out of you. In either case, you won't be quick to forget it. Read more
	The Chaos Industry - Karoshi All in all, a clumsily constructed recording, deficient in power, emotion or excitement. Kudos to The Chaos Industry for attempting to bring the live music element into a predominantly virtual genre, but I feel far more growth is still needed. Read more
	Dino Felipe - Dino Felipe Is Sleeping Is there a method to all this madness? Only Dino knows, so don't bother attempting to decipher this outlandish hodgepodge of misfit electronic doodling. It's not supposed to make sense; just sit back and take it all in - you'll sleep better that way. Read more

	Carlos Ferrão - Business Traveller "As prosecutors, we are used to dealing with the most appalling manifestations of humanity's cruel side on a daily basis. This is something that all of us have learned to endure as an essential part of our profession. (...) This is our routine." See more
