GRIM "Psycho Sun" CD
First track very nice, then it's pretty much downhill from there.... Kind of glad I didn't purchase the limited LP.

SOL INVICTUS "In The Rain" CD
Basically keep re-visiting SI albums and almost every one of them has been "one of the best". Hard to say what then is one of the worst ?! This is very good.

ALFARMANIA "Skräcken" CD
Perhaps not the best of his, but certainly very bleak and draining album. Subtle but neat synth manipulations reveal there is quite a bit more here than appears first.

KAIJA SAARIAHO "Works For Orchestra" CD box..
Just first disc done.. was there.. 5 or 7 ? Good stuff and at the same time due length, probably hardly ever will be listened completely through.

IRM - The Cult Of The Young Men cd
I've been playing this nearly every day... a really incredible album.

My personal favorite by Sol Invictus.

Bizarre Uproar - Perverse Bizarre Humiliation - I was expecting something quite different so it took my by surprise at night when I kept holding my remote controller of the player in my hands in case of explosion of feedbacks etc. This didn't happen, but I was more than satisfied about this. Good album.

Clay Figure / Half Mile Down - Atavists' Apprentices - I'm several months behind with the stuff I listen to and it's the first time I've head Clay Figure, but this is one great tape. And both projects fit in this split very well.

Developer/Sorcerer Torturer fact066 (Factotum Tapes): Developer = stroke-inducing. More spastic than I can really handle. Sorcerer Torturer = too spastic as well...with frustratingly weak vocals thrown in randomly.

Developer/Being fact061 (Factotum Tapes): Developer = spastic into drawn-out noise... I enjoy this 10 minute session much more. Being = more subdued than usual. A real highlight of his output.

Eduard Artemiev Solaris (Superior Viaduct): I forgot just how mesmerizing and challenging this film was --- the music was directly involved clearly, as this LP blew my mind.

Kinit Her Living Midnight At The Harvest Abbey (Brave Mysteries): The live/improv predecessor to their recent ritualistic works. Great stuff.

Bastard Noise/Brutal Truth The Axiom Of Post Inhumanity (Relapse): Nothing very interesting. Brutal Truth's contributions are straight-boring. Bastard Noise is just...exactly as it always is.

Shampoo Boy Licht (Blackest Ever Black): Despite what I'm told, this just sounds like a lackluster Skullflower recording (which could mean many different things to a a lot of folks, I suppose).

Horrid Red Who Made The World (Burundi Cloud Music): Not sure how these could be B-sides unless date-of-creation were the reason; some superior works here. (Potentially) free album on Bunker Wolf's bandcamp: http://fwymusic.bandcamp.com/.

King Crimson Red (Atlantic): Never tire of this masterwork.

Tor Lundvall Structures And Solitude: Night Studies (Dais): 5th disc of "'after hours' recording sessions" is precisely what I (occasionally) enjoy from Lundvall; soothing, calm and without that cheesy whiny-ness that makes many of his songs skip-worthy.

Troum Mare Morphosis (Transgredient): Excellent, but my least favorite of the trilogy.

You knew that Punch Records has been selling all their catalogue for 3-4$ because they finally ceased their activities, yes?

So these were lying quite some time around here while finally got the time and mood to spin them.

Novy Svet & O Paradis - Destello de Estrellas en la Frente - Novy Svet some years ago was on quite a huge wave in here. Huge wave I mean people more or less knew what they were about and heard a few songs. This CD however sounds like O Paradis solo output somehow. If I remember correctly how NS sounded.

Various - We're Punch Addicted - Decent compilation of Punch artists with quite a lot of styles covered. Anyways, Divine Muzak was my sort of discovery from that compilation.

Ait! - Romanticismo Oltranzista - Romantics, dolls, manequins and somewhat different album from other AIT! outputs.

O Paradis - Las Nubes que Mueren - well, if you have ever heard at least one album of O Paradis, you've heard them all. Just like with Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio or Of The Wand and the Moon etc. Just these 2 CDs is a little more of O Paradis.

O Paradis - La Boca Del Infierno - Nice cover and overall artwork. and good sounds.

Wermut - Anna - this was the thing I've never heard before. And I doubt I'll want to hear more. The music would be ok for background etc. if not for the woman's voice, "singing" completely out of tune. But not Tony Wakeford out of tune which is quite good for me, but some cosmic cat orchestra out of tune mode. Nope.

O Paradis - Cuando el Tiempo Sopla - Listening to it now and I start to like this project even more than before

Hirsute Pursuit - Revel in your ability to accessorize my pleasure - well, this one doesn't seem different from albums before on Cold Spring. OK.

Filivs Macrocosmi ‎– Сталкер - Nothing interesting dark ambient. Not bad though. But I started to wonder what are the movies most successful in industrial scene that "inspired to create an album". Stalker is definitely one of them.

Lustmord & Robert Rich's Stalker is a really good cinematic dark ambient album IMO - one of the very best. Just spinned it recently, and unlike some other albums of this genre from the 90s, this has indeed aged with dignity.

Edit: Undulating Terrain - never mind the visuals, just great soundtrack-like music that goes perfectly with the original story.

Sleep Research Facility of course did the album inspired by the movie Alien. Nice concept:

EUS Sol Levit (N/A): This Sage character at Heathen Harvest...don't think I ever see anything rated below a 4, yet it's almost all dark ambient music. I must be missing something in this genre, as very little ever seems to warrant a review that would suggest "you will listen to this album hundreds of time before you die". At least he (she) isn't as factually bland as most of the other contributors, but I digress. This received the predictable 5/5 as it is a good bit above average. Somewhere between the expected sounds of Troum or a more muzakal Anemone Tube. Slightly more engaging than previous works (project is two years old-ish, so there's vast improvement in a short span), which means it is a mash-up of all the linear components of the first few albums. This creates an album and not just a sound experiment. Not quite ambient, not quite drone...non-confrontational, meditative, serene.

Many repeats of Will Over Matter Phenomenal Highways, Merkstave S/T, Eduard Artemiev Solaris, Luciano Cilio Dell'Univero Assente, Developer/Being fact061, Magnolia Electric Co. Fading Trails.

Very excited to press play on Linekraft Kikai Ningen, Will Over Matter Toisesta Maailmasta, Nyodene D Atop Masada, Wrong Hole Esthetic Savings, Drug Age Tropismo, Amph Hudson, RM Current Logic, Jeph Jerman A Fidgety And Excitable Engine.

I disagree.  One of my taop movies.  Least favorite Lustmord release and not high on Rich's spotty collection, either.  Found it to be a real disappointment with all the talent and great inspiration involved.

Nothing can beat the greatness of the OST really, but I think this is a really good alternative take on The Zone. It sure sounds more like Rich than Lustmord to me.
