Reviews
	Fractional - Come Mierda EP A short, sweet release from Belgian artist Fractional, this EP takes a selection of tracks from the full-length, "Come Mierda," adds a new number and throws in two remixes (from DJ Hidden and Cdatakill) to boot. It EP proves a worthwhile sampler, useful for DJs and collectors alike. A call for alternative remixed tracks than just the one would be the only complaint. Read more
	Synnack - v2 With generous extras thrown in as here, and a quality of musicianship outshining some of the minor failings, "V2" is definitely a worthwhile release for anybody interested in the more industrial end of experimental electronica, another good reason to keep buying CDs in this iPod dominated age! Read more
	Alien Skin - Do Not Open Till Doomsday So with no complaints other than the occasional cheesy lyric or annoying vocal effect, which accompany most synthpop albums of above average quality these days, Alien Skin's debut offers a maturity and expertise lacking in the majority of similar groups and is recommended.

	Xsoz - Basic Topology "Basic Topology" lacks the solid foundation it needs to maintain a perpetual shelf life. With a little more essence added to the core of the Xsoz sound, Raptis may have something that will etch itself into the minds of his potential listeners; regrettably this just isn't that album.
