Irem of Pillars – Occident [full EP]

Elucidating the chant immemorial, paroxysms of revelation inflame the spirit undying...
Solemn and sepulchral tribal atmospheres, with a strikingly ancient flavour to it. A follow up to their album "As the Sun Darkens", which you can listen to here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-lNnKsXZ1A. Enjoy! :)

All music by Irem of Pillars.

Ure Thrall – Technological Abyss [full album]

A woeful contender, stymied by the erratic trammels of indifferent gods...
Crazed and creepy ritual ambient rapture from one of the most industrious artists in that niche. He's worked with Voice of Eye and Troum, among others, and uses countless aliases as any self-respecting enigma should. Unfortunately, the audio quality isn't the greatest, although it does enhance the chaotic atmosphere somewhat. Enjoy! :)

All music composed, performed, arranged & produced by Greg Logsdon.

Metallic silhouettes stalking the serpentine side-passages of Łódź...
Ominous electro-industrial moodscapes. Not sure how I came across this one, but I'm glad I did. Something a bit different! Enjoy! :)

Pete Namlook & New Composers – Russian Spring [full album]

Весна, весна, пора любви,
Как тяжко мне твое явленье,
Какое томное волненье
В моей душе, в моей крови…
Как чуждо сердцу наслажденье…
Всё, что ликует и блестит,
Наводит скуку и томленье.

Отдайте мне метель и вьюгу
И зимний долгий мрак ночей...

Blissful and serene soundscapes; ambient, IDM, downtempo, blended together elegantly. Enjoy! :)

All music by Valery Alakhov, Peter Kuhlmann and Igor Verichev.

Virtual Vices – Virtual Vices IV [full album]

Resolute and travelling, seeking a place that might offer some semblance of home... the sunset concludes another day in this life... afternoon zephyrs, earthy pleasures, all worries dispersed...

Laid-back jazzy balm for the soul. Clear your mind of all thoughts and just drift away...
Enjoy! :)

All music composed, performed, arranged and produced by Peter Kuhlmann and Wolfram Spyra.

Hemisphere – Hemisphere [full album]

Scrambled signals scattered from satellites, occluded by the dark side of the moon...
An obscure early release from Pete Namlook's monolithic Fax +49-69/450464 record label; it was one of the first full-length albums to be issued on the label, which had primarily been releasing 12" vinyls of techno and trance (particularly a Germanic style called hard trance or "the Frankfurt sound") prior to that time.
Like many of their releases it's something of an acquired taste and there's a lot of seemingly aimless meandering. It's a love/hate dichotomy dependent upon your level of patience for improvised electronic noodling.
Enjoy! :)

All music composed, performed, arranged & produced by Peter Kuhlmann & Steve Stollmayer.
