Ben Frost - By The Throat

A dark ambient album with all the goods I need to make it fit for me. Both electronic and real sound textures beautifully composed to a record that's really worth the title.

Barbarix - The Mystics EP

I loving the mood on this one. Some very classical elements like harps and choir and all that...

Probably the most established artist to work with us (Planet Terror Records) so far, Barbarix has had releases on Belgian netlabel Entity.be and the infamous Brighton-based Net-Lab, as well as loads of attention from Mary Anne Hobbs, Nerm, Nihal and Bobby Friction of Radio 1 fame.

The Mystics EP is a significant departure from some of his more pounding creations, a relaxing and atmospheric affair best suited to lying in a darkened room or roaming through mystic wooded areas, climaxing with the glorious 'When Night Falls'. Clear yourself some headspace and bathe in the warming talent of Barbarix.

Mira Calix - Eyes Set Against The Sun / Skimskitta

Innitially stumbled upon her recent album wich i thought was quite interesting. But to be honest, i liked the older stuff (2007 / 2003) better. A mixture of modern classical music and ambient electronica. Some tracks more of a texture, some more musical. Lovely.

ryuichi sakamoto - chain music

An interesting project of japanese composer super hero ryuichi sakamoto.

Just a quick quote from his notion on the project:

The idea is to chain musical pieces from one artist to another, like a chain letter.

The purpose is to musically mark the passage of time that Iraq is in a state of war, to mark the steps to peace, to take each day that there is war and build a musical memorial to the desire for peace as well as to mark off the time of war.

Of course the list of artists is just what i considder mindblowing in terms of contemporary experimental electronica.

kreidler - eve future / eve future recall

I'm absolutely not sure wether it's played on a good midipiano or live, neither am i sure about wether its a soundtrack, classical music or should be regarded as "electronic" somehow.
