False Mirror - Derelict World (Malignant: TumorCD47)
 |
In the beginning it looked like an ordinary storm...
After three years of intense work, Dark Ambient disciple False Mirror returns with his third full-length journey, aptly entitled "Derelict World".
With the timeless drones of his debut "Chronostatic Scenes" and the icy soundscapes on his highly acclaimed sophomore masterpiece "North" still resonating through space, solo artist Tobias Hornberger delivers "Derelict World", his most massive and epic undertaking so far.
As its two brooding predecessors, also his third work of masterfully crafted Ambient has become a monumental alliance of dark drones, frostbitten soundscapes and warm vibrating tones from the deep bowels of the earth.Famous for his skilled use of field recordings from an extrem ely diversified range (some of the recordings stem from an old monastery, the medieval city of Ulm or the Arabian sea) and for his ability to cloak the superior forces of nature into menacing, yet beautifully devised sounds, "Derelict World" also offers a truly apocalyptic concept that blends perfectly with the dense wall of sound on this mysterious Ambient challenge: Nothing less than the end of humanity, brought upon this world by the relentless forces of nature forms the basis on which the resonating and thundering tracks develop into chimaeras of terrible momentum, ever-changing and ever-increasing their dramatic potential.
Devised with sophisticated software he solely created for composing this album, False Mirror easily evokes elemental feelings like sublimity, fear or trepidation - culminating in an impending sense of doom that never leaves the listener and brings to life the destructive side of nature that surrounds us every day.
From the sheer force of a tornado set loose to the beguiling calm within the eye of the storm, "Derelict World" is a 74 minute long sonic journey into a desolated, depopulated world.
A 20 page booklet with a conceptually linked short story written by author and journalist Bjørn Springorum accompanies the release. The album is moreover equipped with a number of hidden messages that lead to a rewarding "Bonus World" on falsemirror.de.
... and the rest was silence.
"...One of the best dark ambient releases in recent years". 9.5/10 Orkus Magazine

First Human Ferro - Heterodox CD (Old Captain: OCCD17)
 |
Old Captain's owner, Olegh Kolyada, fights the sea and presents his Lost Generation victory in defeat. "Heterodox" is a dark ambient album born of the sound and the fury with heroes lonely and mad. A sparse, straightforward yet emotionally vigorous record with its own interior monologue, a discourse to be a silent interlocutor to. Restraining the interior the musician offers the nature symbolism via modular synthesizers and analogue junk approach to scatter one's ego worldwide for good. Full of elemental primitiveness the heretic in his destructive folly challenges to claim a nihilistic vision of reality to engage the listener into an ever-present absurd. A 200-CD edition in a classical glossy Digipak. A co-prod of Old Captain and Gradual Hate Records.. $11.67

Fjernlys - Ascending Triads and Luminous Arcs 2CD (LOKI: LOKI42)
 |
Debut of this project from Knut Enderlein of Inade fame! Don't, however, expect this to sound like Inade -it doesn''. In fact, a more fair comparison would probably be First Law (and maybe even a bit of Predominance), though really, this is a project whose sound is it's own. Nuanced and at times even relaxing, not necessarily dark, but certainly downbeat and sober, Fjernlys explores cosmic realms and crosses into astral plains, but is grounded by an esoteric ritual and occult flavor. Fjernlys' attitude to music remains unfettered by stylistic frames and the album targets the style-encompassing essence of sounds. The second CD features five remixes and interpretations from Antlers Mum, Bad Sector, First Law, and Lovespell, which support the complex character of the whole release and expand the border to a new style of ambient songs. $17.33

Fjernlys - Beyond the Undulant Quiescence CD (LOKI: LOKI51)
 |
Latest release from Knut Enderlein of Inade fame. 10 captivating and complex compositions, full of tranquil melodies and melancholy, ethereal synthesizer sequences. Moves at a rather relaxing, hypnotic, and dreamy pace, really straddling the line between carefully crafted, well structured songs and flowing, cosmic influenced ambient. As corny as it sounds, whenever I listen to to Fjernlys, I always think of a stream of crystal blue water gently drifting through an otherwise brightly lit, all white, completely stark and vacant room. For fans of First Law, Llovespell, and of course, previous Fjernlys releases!. $12.67

Fjernlys - Four (One Unearthly Room) 2CD (LOKI: LOKI63)
 |
Five years after the last full-time album of Fjernlys, the Leipzig based outfit returns with new recordings.Fjernlys' attention to detail is typically exquisite here: the looped bowing of a cello provides a droning bassline beneath pitch-bent chimes and melodic pads. Clear homogenic sounds creeping deep organic rhythms with lovely effects have been incorporated in a poetic ambiance guided by brilliant vocals. A collaboration with Peter Bjargo on vocals for The Fervid Flood intoning a new and inspiring way of recordings and production. FOUR appears to have abandoned tracks that aim to move bodies in favour of ambient songs that aim to move hearts. Atmospheric and sensitive Ambientsongs with accented percussion elements, vibraphone sounds and viola supplements to set the electronic soundscapes into wonderfully concentrated and organic pieces. Swimming beneath Fjernlys' ambient arrangements is a primordial cosmos of sonics: the falling of rain outside a window, the tumble of unknown random oscillations, a whirl of ebow guitars. The hustle and bustle of these sounds ground the grandiose orchestration on the record and give it an abstract sense of the transcendental space. On the second CD are remixes of 4 tracks from the album, revisited by Kammarheit, Peter Bjargo, S.E.T.I. and Herbst9. Every single interpretation these artists made completes the puzzle of this release to its entire form of One Unearthly Room.. $14.67

Foetus Dreams - Brouillard (Winter-Light: Win001)
 |
From start to finish "Brouillard" is a real ambient journey; sometimes an introspective one, sometimes a glance from the inside looking out and far beyond the reach of the human eye. The tracks are beautifully sculpted pieces of ambient excellence and from the opening moments of the first you are transported into the world of"FoetusDreams". Rich drones resonate across starkly crafted, ice-cold landscapes where your only companions are the sounds that flow around you. Vibrant musical layers, occasionally punctuated with a clever use of samples, draw the listener ever further away from reality towards a deeper, more meaningful sense of self. You could easily be standing on the edge of the universe looking out, or traversing the caverns of your own mind in a search for that place of inner peace. The title track"Brouillard" is a master class in drone ambient with its ever present trance inducing hum that lowers a mist over the eyes and takes you to a very dark place indeed.. $11.66

Foundation Hope - Our God is a Consuming Fire (Autarkeia: ACD028)
 |
The latest output from this well respected Dutch output, this time on the great Lithuanian label Autarkeia. At it's core, this is a dark ambient recording, flowing with gloomy synthesizer tones, cinematic timbres, and solemn strings, but seperates itself by infusing glitchy elements, tonal manipulation, surreal noises, disembodied voices, and an almost collaged feel.. $8.0

Funerary Call - Nightside Emanations (Malignant: TumorCD55)
 |
First created in 1994, Funerary Call has established itself as one of the premier purveyors of archaic black atmospheres. With Nightside Emanations, Funerary Call presents his most organic and purely ritual experiences...8 tracks that spiral into darkness, led by the ceremonial fire rite of the opening track, then descending into even blacker, more ominous realms as the CD progresses. Extended pieces of opaque ambience are augmented by slow, foreboding, tribal percussion and sedated vocal incantations, full of ancient mysticism and creeping miasma. Material used in the recording process ranged from found objects such as rocks, scrap metal, antlers and bones, to an assortment of ritual implements; chimes, bells, gongs, rattles and kangling. The result is unequivocally one of the darkest releases you'll find under the Malignant banner and one of the more focused and complete recordings from Funerary Call. In 4 panel DVD digipak with stunning artwork by renowned Russian artist Denis Forkas.. $5.0
