Interviews



Mike Morton - Displacer: Mortal Man, or Coronel?
An informative interview with Mike Morton, shining light on the origins of Displacer, his sound gear addiction as well as his penchant for horror movies, pilaging vintage synths from music stores during riots and making music in general.

Reviews



Autoclav1.1 - Love No Longer Lives Here
Catharsis junkies, be advised, this is your one-way ticket exiting Purgatory. The music is spacious and panoramic, richly layered and complex, and always reminds its listener of progression and increase and denouement. Unfolding casually, the album soon climbs into a thing nakedly beautiful and kinetic, tangible in its raw intimacy.
Read more



Mort Douce - Locust Dreams
Mort Douce creates a very nice combination of drones and ambient, and the high quality of the tracks are a mere indication of why it took him five years to finish this album.
Read more



Moogulator - The Digital Anatomist Project
On first listen, this album may well be a disconcerting experience, especially for those who are not familiar with fractured rhythmic structures, glitch and seemingly random sound compositions. "The Digital Anatomist Project" is not an easy album to get into but it has definite moments of brilliance which could have been further explored.

Babylone Chaos/Lambwool/Le Diktat - Shi
A decent album, not brilliant but with flashes of something fantastic here and there. The amalgamations of these artists together fuse some very interesting pieces indeed, but none quite match the individuality of Lambwool and Le Diktat on their own, which is a shame.
Read more



HIV+/Babylone Chaos - Split
The music isn't what sells this EP - the artwork, the artists' names and, ultimately, the exclusivity of the item unfortunately overshadow the very powerful moods portrayed within the very well constructed sounds delivered by two extremely capable established industrial acts.
Read more



Not Half - Radioactive Monster Cats From Planet XLG-5
A pointless C-division album that will get lost in a scene where there is such high quality control amongst its upper echelons.
Read more



Soman - Mask
All of the songs here shamelessly flaunt the techno blueprint so many have worked from. Each track offers nothing more than simple, mindless Electronic Body Music that will keep your head nodding, whether to the repetitive beats and yawn-worthy synth patterns, or in an effort to keep yourself from falling asleep.
