From Musique Machine:
Various artists – Wilde Jaeger (extra disk & box)
This is an extra disk of material and wooden box set that’s an add-on to the excellent original Wilde Jaeger compilation(reviewed here)- the beautiful green stained hand made wooden box fitting the original two disks set inside.Barzel – Born to Destroy Amalex
Born to Destroy Amalex is a Molotov cocktail of Death Industrial, power electronics and brooding/ grim atmospherics littered for military/religious dialogue samples.Mothlite – The Flax of Reverie
Mothlite’s debut is a mix of more organic Ulver type atmospherics, dark Pink Floyd, jazz, post-rock/ prog, dark psychedelics, modern classical and dank English air. All to make a wonderful rich and darkly tinged filmaticexperience.Boris – Smile
Smile is a real Roller-coaster ride of and an album that zooms, slams and ducks all over the place with 3D like production touches. Boris meld their heavy-weight riff power with jap pop, 80’s metal, retro and cheesy sound touches, etc to come up with an album that literally jumps on you, licking you all over the face like an overactive puppy.
