Reviews
	Tapage - The Institute Of Random Events While there are a lot of events in each track, there's an enchanting minimal feel to the whole album. If you've been awake for too long, and require an album to help you think while you slowly pass out from exhaustion on your ugly couch - this is it! Or, if you wanted Hecq to do an album with breaks and click/pops, this might be as close as it gets. Read more
	Angelspit - Blood Death Ivory Angelspit's highly visual methodology makes them stand out and, watered-down anarchic attitude notwithstanding, their music is not bad by any means. It's a lot of fun, something far too many bands overlook in their efforts to be 'dark'. The production quality is top-notch, too, and the lyrics, while not Shakespeare, carry a great sense of apathetic urban disillusionment. Read more
	STROM.ec - Divine Legions Beyond Psyche In conclusion, STROM.ec show effortlessly how they can make harsh and aggressive power electronics as effectively as you want, but the important thing is how well they mix that up with dark ambient and experimental industrial passages, trying new ideas and never allowing things to become formulaic or stagnate. Read more
	Murder By Static - Exsits Though an enjoyable listen, this album could perhaps benefit from extended track lengths and more events would give each song more character. As IDM it's somewhat enjoyable, but it seems to incorporate the most boring aspects from other (sub?)genres of electronic music. Read more
	ReAdjust - Statement The main downfall of the album seemed to be a lack of good production/mastering. A stronger snare/clap could have really improved the sound of a few tracks, and all the sounds seemed to get lost in the mix. Remember one lesson that can be taken from cheesy-trance: even if the music is overdone and cliché, if it is produced well, the kids will love it. Read more
