Interviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...ment_small.jpg
Christopher Braucks and C. Constantin Reineck - Æntitainment
"Like seahorses we care a lot about our babies. We don't want them to be sold at supermarkets or megastores. Like good fathers we carefully choose their environment, because we really don't want them to share a cashdesk with toasters, nosehaircutters and mobilephones."
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...titainment.htm



Reviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_if.jpg
V/A - Imaginary Friends
An excellent showcase of what Sublight Records was about: uncompromising quality electronics from IDM and downtempo breakbeats to drum'n'bass/jungle, breakcore and even some rock electronics. The music released by Sublight Records probably wasn't for everyone but its overall quality is undeniable.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_im.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...cproject_s.jpg
ManicProject - Square0ne
It is overall an intelligent record, but not nearly dark enough, electronic enough or emotional enough. Brilliant execution, meticulous attention to detail and more commercial potential than you can poke a stick at make for an easy choice for your average sheep at the record store.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...cproject_s.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...eezeetch_p.jpg
Freeze Etch - Perjorative
"Pejorative" ends up as nothing more than a broken promise - albeit one that looks really good. It could almost be likened to dating someone that is beautiful but dumb as bricks: your friends may show great interest in the exterior aspects, but there's zero intellectual stimulation involved.

Interviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...hpod_small.jpg
Ben Arp - Crunch Pod
Crunch Pod is an American industrial music label and online web store currently based near Sacramento, California. Crunch Pod, the label, began in 1998 and has grown from a small, limited edition only CDR label to the home to such acts as Caustic, C/A/T, Cervello Elettronico and Manufactura.

Reviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...atthews_hb.jpg
Susan Matthews - Hope Bound
More positive in mood than Matthews' previous albums but, while the sound is generally more polished, the intensity of feeling and experimental qualities are all still there. Matthews continues to go from strength to strength with each release, offering something new and interesting every time.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...atthews_hb.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...carcrash_b.jpg
JapaneseCARCRASH - BADmachine
Texan musician Casey LeBleu, being neither Japanese nor sounding anything like a car crash, fortunately, has produced plenty of quite enjoyable synthpop moments.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...carcrash_b.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...iolence_ds.jpg
Plastic Violence - Dog Series
During the Chinese year of the dog, Italian experimentalists Plastic Violence released twelve monthly mini-CD singles with canine-themed covers. The tracks are an interesting bunch, generally pretty lo-fi, and Plastic Violence aren't afraid to add noise to the mix.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...iolence_ds.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...ilights_st.jpg
Six Twilights - Six Twilights
Very gentle and ever so slightly folky experimental electronica mostly dominated by manipulated voices and backed up by minimal loops possibly generated by guitars more often than synths. All lovely stuff, just as long as you're not easily bored and you can allow sentimental feelings for simple things.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...ilights_st.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_concise_r.jpg
Concise - Revive / Flaque - Mindscapes / X_Dynamics - Regular Loader Routine
Three full-length CDs, by three bands that don't really have much in common, packaged together for about the price of one album. Good value, you might say, but what's the point, even though there's plenty of folks out there who will like the sound of this collection?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_concise_r.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...ghtdoll_rv.jpg
FrightDoll - Reference Version
You don't even have to listen to this album to tell it's going to be awful. The fact that it's released on an eponymous record label sets alarm bells ringing, as does the dubious imagery of FrightDoll posing smugly in PVC attire over a generic black and red background of circuitry and stars.

Reviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_avsky_sd.jpg
Avsky - Silent Decay
Avsky is Norwegian and his first album, "Silent Decay", manages to create almost arctic atmospheres, yet still make them sound warm to a certain extent. Because of this the CD knows quite a nice duality (read: tension). Or perhaps this should be considered a schizoid defect?
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_avsky_sd.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...cenotype_o.jpg
Cenotype - Origins
Origins" is very aptly titled, hinting at the influences behind the act in general as well as the within the record which, despite its faults, is a great release, working on the proven formula of solid, industrial rhythmic noise, with enough of Cenotype's personal twist so as not to sound unoriginal.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...cenotype_o.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_pureh_s.jpg
Pure H - Signia
The various interpretations of "Signia" are each supplied with a unique title (presumably contributed by the remixing artist), and although they span a variety of genres, the remixes exhibit a startling homogeneity in sound and, in some respects, style.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_va_im.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...otophob_cr.jpg
Photophob - Circadian Rhythms
Photophob's music has an upbeat yet abstract quality set to playful synth lines that harks back to the early days of "intelligent dance music" and the heyday of labels like Rephlex and Warp. Although "Circadian Rhythms" initially appears to be a homage to classic IDM, it soon takes a new direction.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...otophob_cr.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...orybox_nda.jpg
Storybox - No Dancing Allowed
If you are a fan of the music from the early era of electronic pop music (circa 1980-83) then perhaps this might be worth looking into. However, I can't help but think that if you are not going to give the sound a slight update, then maybe some things should be left as they were.

Interviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...hews_small.jpg
Susan Matthews - Siren Wire
"I'm not familiar with the work of the majority of the bands/artists I've been compared to. I came to this via an aborted classical music education coupled with an interest in popular music. (...) For a few years I consciously put myself into a bubble, I switched myself off to other people's music so that I could focus on my own in a very pure way, to really discover my 'sound'."
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...anmatthews.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...ront_small.jpg
Igor & Tanya - The Eastern Front
Israel is probably not the place where one would normally expect to find a record label with a catalog spanning martial music, darkfolk, industrial and noise experimentalism. And yet, that is the kind of material being released by this young label and its noise/experimental side-label T'an! Kaven!! Ash!!!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/inte...sternfront.htm



Reviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...erdball_ct.jpg
Welle:erdball - Chaos Total
"Chaos Total" is an excellent album full of exciting and moving synthpop anthems produced in the true Welle:Erdball style. That is all you should need to know, end of review!
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...erdball_ct.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...irtward_ub.jpg
Dirtward - Utopia:Banished
"Dirtward" is pure industrial rock from the moment it hits. The apparently single-man project Utopia:Banished has taken a good, hard look back at mid-90s North American coldwave and forged ahead with all the production and genre-bending the intervening years have come to offer.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...irtward_ub.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...hrist_efwa.jpg
Machinochrist - Escape From Woolwich Arsenal
As a debut album, "Escape From Woolwich Arsenal" is a very solid piece of work and sets the bar pretty high for subsequent offerings by Machinochrist. Powerful and sincere-sounding, it is bound to appeal to breakcore and hardcore fans, as well as please some industrial music adepts.

Reviews

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...ledsea_orb.jpg
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.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...ledsea_orb.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...laveret_lm.jpg
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.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...laveret_lm.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_otx_awir.jpg
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.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews/r_otx_awir.htm

http://www.connexionbizarre.net/revi...lier_mhabn.jpg
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.

Interviews

Marcel Nickels - Le Petit Machiniste
The young German label Le Petit Machiniste is a good example that the DIY spirit is alive and well, that musicians - especially those working in underground music genres - can effectively band together, publish their music without the support of big record labels and have a good time while at it!

Reviews

Rajapïnta - Bootleg Epiphanies
Rajapinta's "Bootleg Epiphanies" blistered my eardrums, shattered my skull and painted the inside of my cranial cavity with my imploded brains. And then it put everything back together again, only not quite the way it had been before.

Book Of Shadows - Inner World
The possibility of the existence of the thin line between ambient, new age, folk and experimental soundscaping is being researched by the Book Of Shadows collective. This fifth album by the couple Carlton and Sharon Crutcher numbers five tracks that are an impressive mixture of those styles.

Neotnas - Spak Deti
While this album isn't for everyone, I would certainly recommend it as an alternative to those who are in dire need of cleansing their musical palette of acts who use every preset in the book and stack them on top of each other.
