 | Monopium / K. – Nightclubbing / Die Wölfe kommen züruck (CD, Zoharum) Split of this two projects (whoever „K.“ is). The first 4 tracks from Monopium are a combination of field recording atmospheres, weird electronics, droney Ambient and trippy rhythms. K.’s 3 pieces are fluid instrumental songs with a Synthie electronica base and midtempo rhythms. |
 | Korium – Spoor Of The Wolf (retrospective collection 2003-2013) (2xCD, Hexencave Prod.) Black Metal as it should be from a Slovakian one-man-project. Bad sound quality, howling voice, screechy guitars, rattling drums. And of course there are some electronical pieces too. It’s Ok. |
 | Kate Tempest – Let Them Eat Chaos (CD, Fiction) Anne Clark update? Maybe. The dark sight of The Streets. Maybe. Great, dynamic, empathic, powerful music, for sure! Comes with a Hip Hop flavour. |
 | Ab Intra – Henosis I-V (CD, Zoharum / Hard Art) Great Synthesizer Dark Ambient from Poland. |
 | Phurpa – Rituals Of Bön I (CD, Zoharum / Hard Art) Ritual Musick. The most interesting release so far, but to be honest: not my cup of tea… |
 | Mirt – Random Soundtrack (CD, Kosmodrone) Strange, intellectual electronica, often with weird beats, some ethnic rhythms too, lots of field recordings / samplings and dark atmospheres. |
 | Günter Schlienz – Autumn (CD, Zoharum / Hard Art) Three long Synth Ambient pieces (one for every autumn month). Maybe a bit „romantic“, but fine with some additional instruments. |
 | The Great Park – Simple Folk (CDR, Woodland Recordings) Latest album of Stephen Burch. Another eight great folk songs with voice, guitar and sometimes violin/ piano. In my opinion a more quiet and withdrawn release. |
 | The Great Park – Turn Your Back On The Crown (CDR, Woodland Recordings) Recording session for „Simple Folk Radio“ – „simple“, but wonderful Folk. One man, his guitar and a haunting voice. It’s great to be melancholic. Very strong versions. |
 | Blood Axis – Ultimacy (CD, Storm Records / Tesco Distribution) Collection of sampler contributions from 2011 with all the songs, collectors were hunting for. By this spanning the range from Martial Industrial to Irish Folk. The only ting I miss, is a presentation of the original sources of the songs. |
 | SBZ – Promo? (CDR, no label) Really cool beat-orientated electronica from Dresden. I guess, they have a promising future. |
 | Der Sturm – Concert for biopolar people (MC, Nomad Sky Diary) Simple but effective noise drones, to shift you to another state of consciousness. Made by Max Bateman of Wurnous Aileen. |
 | 900piesek – The Sword & The Chalice (MC, Nomad Sky Diary) Psychedelic Rock meets Noise meets Martial meets free improvisation. Really dense and sometimes hard to listen to. |
 | Xtematic / Torturing Nurse – Welcome To Sickness (MC, Nomad Sky Diary) Croatian Noise Screamo meets Hong Kong Harsh Noise makers, both filtering their sound really heavy. |
 | Psychick Witch – Cosmic Botanists (MC, Nomad Sky Diary) Nice mixture of noisy Ambient and field recordings. Raw but deep and hypnotic. |
![KRRAU / ﻗﺎﻣﺖ ﺍﻟﺳﺎﻋﺔ [QAMAT IS SA'ATU]](https://club-debil.com/bild/rezis/krrau-qisa.jpg) | KRRAU / ﻗﺎﻣﺖ ﺍﻟﺳﺎﻋﺔ [QAMAT IS SA’ATU] – Archaos (MC, Nomad Sky Diary) Two really strange Russian projects – side one – KRRAU is a bit more pop and folk orientated, ﻗﺎﻣﺖ ﺍﻟﺳﺎﻋﺔ uses ethnic / oriental sources in combination with hard rhythms and Metal shouting. |
 | Robert Leykam – Impressions (CD, Frank Mark Arts) OK, this sound could be called „esoteric“ and it’s not experimental in the obvious way. Best we name it „ethnic ambient“ made with different synths and processed electric guitars. The booklet with it’s fine fotos indisputable is art. |
 | Rasalasad – Thismorphia (CD, Thisco) When I read about all the collaborators on this CD, I was really curious: Jarboe, Merzbow, John Zerzan, Smell & Quim… But most of the songs don’t stay in memory. A bit to much sound carpet, but sometimes covering really good voices. |
 | 1677 – 777 Babalon & 900piesek (MC, Sky Burial Productions) Collaboration of two Slovak projects – 777 Babalon, Ambient + 900piesek, Noise, producing an atmospheric journey through psychedelic sounds with a earthly note. |

 | November Növelet – Unintended by Nature (CD, Galakthorroe) The singels 1994 to 2012 + bonus material. Nothing else to say. For all the collecters, who want to preserve their vinyls and all those who were late. Bonus tracks are fine to, booklet is good, perfect! |
 | Tanz ohne Musik – Infinity (CD, Galakthorroe) Galakthorroe is expanding. It seems, as if after the WGT gig of Tanz ohne Musik, the contract had been sealed. Now they are home. Musically they already had been… Fine new album without surprises. |
 | Phurpa – Chöd (2CD, Zoharum) I can’t get any approach to this music and I don’t understand why this raw ritual stuff got so popular. Maybe I should spend some time in a Tibetian convent… |
 | Rara – W//\TR (CD, Zoharum) Wild mixture of differnet styles acoustic guitar tunes, Ambient, Synth Pop, Techno rhythms, but after all it works and it’s far from being boring. |
 | Gaap Kvlt – Jinn (CD, Zoharum) Electronica, mostly in an Ambient / Drone style with some midtempo beats and samples. Some excursion into Rhythmic Industrial (very close to Esplendor). |

Comes in a DVD Digibook with a 82-page booklet featuring extensive artist info and essays on sound (all in German and English). Some arty-farty stuff, but a lot of great sounds too. |

 | Alone In The Hollow Garden / Nam-Khar – Split (CD, Qualia) Fantastic Ritual release by the Holotrop label, combining electronical Ambient moods with ethnic drumming. |
 | All My Sins Remembered – The Sonic Worlds of John Murphy (3CD, The Epicurean) 3 CDs filled with the strangest projects. Unbelievable what spectre of music John Murphy was in. His death has been a real loss and this sampler is a fine document of his creativity. |
 | V.A. – Epicurian Escapism III (CD + DVD, The Epicurean) Festival sampler with CD and DVD. On the CD not all the bands who played are included, but the most prominent. As diverse as the festival itself. |
 | Grimbergen – The Passing Of Time (CD, self-released) Fine Synth-, Base- and Guitar Ambient with some nice, trippy to martial rhythms, choirs and a lot of pathos. Mostly a bit depressive. |
 | Atrocious Filth – Moans (CD, From Pub) It took me three attemps to listen through this CD. Slightly Marilyn Manson like Metal with a funky bass, saw guitars and crazy vocals swapping with experimental Rock passages. Not my cup of tea. |
 | Jormungand – Fragments Of A Hologram Rose (MC, MFW / Cat’s Heaven) Wournus Aileen’s May Bateman presents a wide mixture of sounds on this tape of his side project. Pathetic neo-classics meets Synth Romantics meets Industrial… |

 | Maeror Tri – Hypnobasia [+ bonus tracks] (CD, Zoharum) Fifth tape of Maeror Tri, originally released in 1992 by Old Europa Cafe. A bit more noisy Ambient 3 extra titles from various samplers. |
 | Maeror Tri – Sensuum Mendacia / Somnia (CD, Zoharum) Early Maeror Tri stuff – third album from 1991 (already re-released in 2005 by L. White Records) and MT’s part of a split from 1990, with the typical fine Ambient, generated from „real“ instruments. |
 | Kallee & The Lunar Trio – Nushtur (CD, Zoharum) Submarine ambient on the lowest level, that bores the shit out of me… The best I can say about this record is: nice artwork. |
 | Mammoth Ulthana – Particular Factors (CD, Zoharum) Variable sound from ethno-ritual to free Jazz, to abstract Electronics. No easy listening. |
 | Stein – Johanniskirche (CD, Steinton) Nice, melancholic Neo Folk, good live recording. I really like it, as long the girl does not sing. I can’t cope with this kind of voices… |
 | Roman Leykam / Frank Mark – The Detecction Of Slowness (DVD, Frank Mark Arts) Ambient, made from Guitar and other real instruments + some reduced Synths with the slightly filtered pictures of icy landscapes and water. To slow for me. I fall asleep when watching this. The music is fine. |
 | Antlers Mulm – Touring The Moon Bog (MC, Sea State) Melancholic Electronica with a nice Pop attitude, fluctuating between sadness and hope, warmth and cold. |
 | Llovespell – One (MC, Sea State) Pure Electronica with a melancholic touch. The more pop-like version of Antlers Mulm with club suitable rhythms and a female side. |
 | V.A. – Etch Wear Winter Wear Collection / M 40 (CDR, Etch Wear) The CD starts with some really cool tracks – Atropine is really powerfull, Ramplingg is great, but than it silts a bit. But in the end – a view great tracks. |
 | V.A. – Etch Wear Spring Classix / It`s A Spring Thing ! (CDR, Etch Wear) Quiet Electronic, spanning from Ambient / Noise to Pop. My favourite tune is „dancing in circles“ by Sofi Lofi, Dao De Noise is much to long (25min) and Poison Prince & Peter Knäcke absolutely funny. |
 | Feine Trinkers bei Pinkels Daheim – A Bug’s Life (CD, Zoharum) A bit odd release bei F.T.b.P.D. and the second time dealing with insects (after the „Toads and Bugs“-Split with D.B.P.I.T). Working with insect noises, topic related samples but also with some melodies and rhythms besides ambient and noise. Not to mention the typical humour of the projects mastermind. |
 | Machinefabrik – Wendingen (CD, Zoharum) The subtitle of this CD is „Selected Remixes 2005 – 2016“ tells, when this electronical miniatures of melancholica had been composed. Somewhere between ambient, weird electronica and pop. |

 | Test Dept. – Total State Machine (CD, DVD, Book, PC-Press) A real masterpiece. CD and DVD are as expected: live sounds and video from the 1980/90ies. But the book is… marvellous. It will take me 2 years to read it. |
 | Subliminal – Sterben Lassen (7“, Galakthorroe) Nesw 7“ from the harshest Galakthorroe artist. My favorite in the actual triple release. |
 | Da-Sein – Tautology (7“, Galakthorroe) Though you still hear the labels typical sound, it’s something new, with a more minmal pop attitude like November Növelet. |
 | November Növelet – The World In Devotion (CD/LP, Galakthorroe) Another wonderful album of November Növelet. Melancholic minimal pop. At the moment I like „Magic“ abit more, but time will tell. |
 | Instinct Primal – Dazzling Darkness (CD, Silken Tofu) Fine electronic in the way of Bad Sector – Dark Ambient with a wider range of inputs and higher dynamics. |
 | Raven / Astro – Split (MC, Autistic Campaign) Split tape between Raven from Serbia and Astro from Japan. 40 minutes harsh noise with a nice packageing |
 | Milan Knizak / Opening Performance Orchestra – Broken / Re/Broken (CD, Sub Rosa) Distorted music. A very long and sometimes unsettled trip through decomposed sounds. The OPO track is a bit more harsh and noisy. |
 | V.A. – Sound For The Masses (MC, haang niap Records / neconeco records) Really no „sound for the masses“: ODA, Turtring Nurse, Rohco of Astro ans Nguyen Hong Giang bring different kind of noisy pain to your ears. 😉 |
 | Dave Phillips & Hiroshi Hasegawa – Insect Apocalypse (CD, Monotype Records) Regarding the sound of the two artists, I expected something harsher, but I‘;m not disappointed. Quite the contrary: Very interesting Noisy Ambient with injected insect sounds |

 | Aquavoice – Early Recordings (2CD, Zoharum / Hard Art) Though a bit „esoteric“ Aquavoice present a great Synthesizer Music, surely influenced by Kraftwerk but very independent. 2 CD contains the first album „Water music“ and some tracks from release 2 and 3. |
