Release

Savage Ideal - Ghosts Dance Lightly on the Puncheon Floor
Savage Ideal is an electronic/folk/ambient/americana/post-industrial industrial project of Christian Wright, whose primary project has from 2003-2008 has been Bajskorv, an old school industrial band from Washington, DC.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/releases.htm


Reviews

Displacer - X Was Never Like This...
"X Was Never Like This" offers a small collection of new material and a selection of good quality remixes exploring different aspects of Morton's original works. His ability to mix classic and modern electronic sounds along with a myriad of elements drawn from a diverse range of different music styles gives Morton's music complexity which in turn unveils new depth with further listening.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Pine Tree State Mind Control - Esquimaux
This 3" CD-r is maybe not the best Pine Tree State Mind Control release ever, but it contains a couple of left-overs too good to delete. A must have for completists and a little snack to satisfy your ears until the new CD is being released.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

.cut feat. Gibet - A Stale Affair: Bleach Bride Remixed
So in all honesty this release didn't bring me closer to God, or closer to the art of .cut featuring Gibet, but the 20 minutes weren't a complete loss after all.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Dead Man's Hill - Speaking In The Tongues Of The Universal Reporter: Live In Hof Ter Loo
The best compliment for this album is the non-stop energy it sends out. You can feel the impact the performance must have had on that cold day in Belgium, which is emphasized by the fact this release is already sold out (it was limited to 50 copies).

Release

Savage Ideal - Ghosts Dance Lightly on the Puncheon Floor
A brooding analysis of historical landscape... Songs inspired by and dedicated to Southern History. All tracks are largely based around a vast library of found sounds / field recordings gathered during a month long Appalachian sojurn in April, 2008. Sound collage meets post industrial meets folk. Dan Barrett of Worms of the Earth collaborated on / arranged / wrote tracks 1, 9, and 12. Acoustic guitar meets powernoise in Bob Moog's backyard.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/releases.htm


Reviews

Error Response - Zen
"Zen" flows immeasurably well, being neither too swift nor too sedate for too long, but rather pooling and cascading in turn, progressing from serene and laidback to taut and wonky, from cut-up and textured to melodic and hopeful. It's juxtapositions like these that give listeners a clue that, with Error Response, Arnold is at the top of his game. The funk, the atmospheres and (especially) the glimmering noir, all executed in a style clean and crisp as freshly minted hundred dollar bills, lend mysterious "Zen" exactly that - meditation, koan, satori...
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

ESA - The Immaculate Manipulation
A truly magnificent collage of sounds and styles, shifting indeed immaculately through any electronic subgenre worth nodding to, this record is a must have. http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Sturqen - Piranha
If you're sick of the crashing, numbing beats, and need something more stimulating, Sturqen has what you require. Alternatively, if you've already delved into the possibilities of harder drum'n'bass, such as that of Yuki Tendo, you've come to the right place. "Piranha" is frightening and unconventional but quite brilliant.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Madeline Puckette - Tsar Bomba (pre-release)
Rooted firmly in the synthesized pop sound and DIY underground dance of electroclash, "Tsar Bomba" also reflects Puckette's early riot grrrl leanings and an independent, girl-power aesthetic. Characterized by half-sung/half-spoken vocals and growling synths, the release touches on themes of primacy, jealousy, affluence and diabolic immoderation. Upon further reflection, perhaps that's where the arms race intimations arise after all.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Tonal y Nagual - La Sierra Mecánica
The paradox between the charm of the lo-fi delivery and the conventions of what is technically acceptable or desirable in modern music largely permeates "La Sierra Mecánica". Generally, I feel the tunes, lyrics and interesting arrangements win over concerns about poor singing and occasionally clumsy guitar work; the humour, wit and creativity evident throughout make this album something special.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Lolita Terrorist Sounds - Rudiments and Bases for the New Millennium
This release will be a favorite of the experimental scene but a little too unique for the mainstream. But this will be the mainstream's loss as this album is brilliant in its simplicity and ability to draw the listener into the fray via arrangements and ambiences.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Vlüba - Live At Erks
More than just a record, "Live at Erks" is a spiritual experience which deserves to be listened carefully and in a proper state of mind, in order to fully enjoy the journey it will take you to, a journey which no one can figure out the real destination..
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

13th Monkey - Redefining the Paradigm of Bang
At the end, there's an impression that this is something that would be extremely effective and fun in a packed dancefloor setting (preferably played live). Surely, scene-specific prime DJ material but, for home or casual listening, it will have limited appeal or revisitation potential (unless you're a sucker for 4/4 beats).
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

The Peoples Republic Of Europe - Babylon
The production quality is high, there is an almost overly wide range of styles on display and plenty of interesting sounds and textures are thrown into the mix. Some of the more comedy ideas tend to grate however, and the way they've so desperately thrown themselves at the "scene" does mean that numerous clichés slip through the net, both in terms of sound and imagery.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Voide - Humachine
As a whole, this release shows an artist with promise but lacking the versatility and attention to detail

Reviews

Atmogat - Trigger Event
Danny Prusseit and Toni Polkowski prove themselves as masters in the field of IDM carving a niche with this latest release from Impulsive Art, "Trigger Event", a release which sets the mood for waltzes through dark flickering hallways in a neon metropolis. This is the soundtrack for the modern cyberpunk fan.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Genetic Transmission - Spirals
Although it's frustrating I admire the way in which the producer presents this as a formal exercise in listening and attempts to claim the listener's attention for the duration (if not always successfully). There's extensive use of found sound here and a sense of some obscure narrative unfolding in a way more typical of musique concrete than of industrial.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Scum From The Sun - Scum From The Sun
Over four tracks Scum From The Sun do tend to dabble more with the psychedelic than anything else; slick bass lines and hypnotic, but unchallenging drum structures for the most part give way to trippy drugged out sounding synth structures that whir and spiral on their way to some other plane of existence; and to be honest you don't want anything over the top from the rhythm sections when dealing with this genre of music.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

V/A - ZigZag Vol.2
Elektrotribe shows potential to continue releasing good and diverse techno, ready-made for the nonstop Berlin party scene, though whether it ever rivals established and innovative label peers like Kompakt and BPitch Control remains to be seen.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Gerostenkorp & Neon Rain - Io Non Ho Paura
Maybe I have missed the point with too totally opposite forces working with each other (or against) on such a release, but neither then do I really have the gumption to get bothered about that either.

Reviews

Lewsor - No Error
An absolute must have for anyone who loves Digital Hardcore and Industrial as it takes both genre's and gives them a thorough shaking. I imagine that live is where this album will absolutely destroy.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Dogpop - Jahrmarkt Der Verlorenen Kinder
If you imagine Einsturzende Neubauted going out with the Arafnas to a carnival and meeting Tristan Tzara's ghost while they're at it, you won't be very far off the mark as to what this album sounds like.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Everything Goes Cold - vs. General Failure
Everything Goes Cold is a gritty addition to the metal/electro hybrid genre from Eric Gottesman, Kenny Pardo, and James Webb, which brings a sense of tongue-in-cheek humor to the general serious content of the genre. "vs. General Failure" album is a fun ride full of humour and aggressive patterns for any fan of the metal-electro genre and prior Bit Riot releases.

Reviews

Imminent - Cask strength
As an album, "Cask Strength" works on two levels, subtle enough to be background music and aggressive and intricate enough to hold a listener at full attention - it is a force to be reckoned with in the genre of IDM and glitch.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Spherical Disrupted - Quasar
Having previously dealt with more earthly or abstract imagery, Germany's ambient experimentalist Spherical Disrupted now turns his attention to space and one of its strangest mysteries. All in all, an excellent soundtrack for an evening of amateur astronomy or of reading up on astrophysics until your brain feels strained and needs some audio soothing.
http://www.connexionbizarre.net/reviews.htm

Amon Vs. Mortar - Amon Vs. Mortar
The formula this release has is well thought out - I just think the 'experience' could have been enhanced a bit if a few of the tracks were shortened or had more variation though.

Reviews

Various - Auto-Reverse
Quite an accomplished collection of tracks that follow an innovative concept not seen elsewhere. The idea of producing a label compilation comprised of cover versions is interesting and original with a number of strong tracks being contributed from Normograph, Missing in Action, Foretaste, Even More, The Rorschach Garden, Joy Electric and File Not Found. If modern synthpop with a distinct retro flavour is your thing, you could do a lot worse than check this out.
