“Exsits”
Label: Deadsix Communications
Official Website
(2.5/5)

This is the fifth full length release from Murder by Static, the solo project from Chris Stephniewski. Not having heard any previous material from Murder by Static, it’ll be hard to compare this to prior releases but I’d think it a safe bet that anyone into instrumental noise experimentation, glitch and ambient music would find a good deal to enjoy here. Pulsing, rhythmic and often very intense.. the best moments of this release definitely occur in the sparse yet very effective quiet moments. Read More »

(4/5)

“Last Night I Dreamed of Armageddon” is an interesting and minimalistic release from Terminal Sound System. While it is sometimes heavy on the glitchy/chaos end of things, this release mainly focuses on the space between the shockwaves and the silent melodies and rhythmic pings that dance throughout that space.

This is the third release from the dark ambient artist “Svartsinn” and according to the their label, Cyclic Law, the end of a trilogy. I haven’t had the opportunity to hear Svartsinn’s two previous releases but even when coming in on the end of a three part act, this CD is still very effective. Read More »
