BUDRUS Devyniems Rytams Austant [none] €11
Trying to find out info on this band when you don't speak Lithuanian was a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle with no picture printed on it, but once you figure out Budrus is actually Budruus in English, things kind of fall into place. One of the things that peaked my interest about this band was learning that Leonardas Marozas of the fantastic TeRRoR webzine was a member.
This band is definitely an enigma, doing something that I've not heard anyone else do that I could pinpoint. Part Noise, Power Electronics, Ambient and Psychedelia, it's a blended sound that is all of these things and none of them. I hear elements of Current 93, Blood Axis, Genocide Organ, Tony Wakeford, Death In June, hell, fucking Pink Floyd, all with pissed off Lithuanian vocals. Spacey loops, endless ringing guitar chords, droning synth and early Industrial percussion carry the listener like a magic carpet through the Eastern European sunset. Equal parts droning beauty and malicious intent, lulling you one minute and then attacking you the next, for example the crystalline dream of "Mizzle Finds" only to be jolted from this Nirvana by the locust guitar attack of "To Tear Apart The Dream. Backwrds Toward Dome" (I'm using the English translations). Two tracks that seem like polar opposites, but somehow fit together perfectly.
It's not often that I'm exposed to something completely different that I'm immediately taken with, but Devyniems Rytams Austant has managed to do just that. Limited to 300 copies, the original release is in digipak format. Although I'm review from a cardboard sleeve promo, the artwork looks fantastic so I'm sure the "real" release is incredible. Definitely worth tracking down, I'd suggest contacting the band directly. [Plague Haus]

UR Clandestine Meeting Park No Visible Scars €6
Ur is a three-piece, out of Italy, born in early 2005 as a collaboration between Federico Esposito, Mauro Sciaccaluga and Andrea Ferraris. Their music is mostly based on free improvisation and its sonorities can't easily be described without referring to the well-known and wildest experiments of Industrial music of the late '70s / early '80s , but also to the psychedelic kraut-rockers of the late '60s / early '70s. Drones, samples and layers of electro-acoustic noisescapes coming from objects, field recordings, analog and traditional instruments processed using a load of pedals and effects: the sound ends painting a solid, harsh and dramatic industrial lounge where archaic instincts and modern obsessions meet. To use the words of a sound engineer after one of their live sets: "...it all sounds like early Pink Floyd on acid...on muriatic acid".
