JAHRTAL - "Lichtbuch" CD 2008  (Ahnstern / Steinklang) - 35 zł - "Lichtbuch" is a true treasure of Psychedelic Folk Music, a unique collection of traditional folksongs from the Alps, musical versions of poems by Joseph von Eichendorff, traditionals from England and Scotland in german translation and even a traditional Tibetan prayer. Lichtbuch is a absolute authentic Folk album with great heart and pure soul. The songs and balads on Lichtbuch have mainly a sad-optimistic mood, they shall delight the listener, as well as touch him thoughtfully. Jahrtal is non-academic, honest music, which delivers the message of affection and momentaryness, of cause and effect. A wide and balanced instrumentation gives the album a unique touch. Besides a guitar, which the artist reconstructed himself to a Sitar (Gzitar), Jahrtal uses acoustic guitars, electric guitars, lute, banjo, dulcimer, gzitar, harpzither, psalter, flute, duduk, schalm, violin, organ and bird's voices. The main influences of Jahrtal are in the end-60ies and early 70ies with bands like Witthüser & Westrupp, Spirogyra and C.O.B., but a comparison to the most beautiful balads of Current 93 is inevitable as well. 12 tracks / 75 Min.

JOB KARMA - "Punkt" digipack CD 2010 (Obuh Records) - 30 zł - Those who follow post-industrial music know well (or at least they should know) the name of JOB KARMA. We present  with utmost pleasure a still-hot fresh album of this merited duo, who are gradually becoming the spearhead of landscapists of the genre. These two brave-hearted boosters of  post-industrial tradition are now forging hit by hit 8 well-shaped and perversely tuneful pieces, which form an ideal soundtrack for an apocalyptic soap opera that eats up bits of our lives every now and then. Escape from...but where? Everywhere is the same in the giant guts of the mechanical Leviathan. Cosmos serves more and more dark lards from the frighteningly far galactic preserves, the black hole gets bigger and bigger. But do not be afraid. The Mind Grinding and Oppression Machine (the fearful MGOM), choking and wheezing with its own enormity, gets jammed and broken more and more often. Somewhere in a System bowels a new Snake Plissken is born. The fight goes on. As ever. And me... Well, I recommend to you the most sensational album this Spring. Covered as it should be, in a three-fold digipack with a phenomenal cover design by Arek Bagiński, let happiness and joy be with him for now and ever.

LARRNAKH - "Like the silken shrouds of loneliness" digipack CD (Epidemie Records) - 30 zł - I founded Larrnakh in 2005. I wanted to incarnate a musical entity that is based on my own ideas and conceptions alone. This is dictatorship. I am in control, I make all the important decision. Of course there are friends, who help me out. They provide their instrument skills or technical support, and sometimes ideas too, under my guidance. I expressed my musical ideas in a certain militant, heroic way from the start, making them complete with a little lyric harmony. Mostly industrial, neofolk and noise influences dominate, with various other tiny elements and ideas, keeping all in continuous formation. After long preparations, the recordings of the Now will you believe? album started in 2009. The album was released in 2010 by the Austrian label Steinklang. The reputation of the 40 minute long album was really good among both professionals and the audiance too, so the band filled with self confidence and fresh energy has started the next album. In May 2011 the second album titled Like the silken shrouds of loneliness was released. As previously, the disc contains neofolk rich in emotions and vivid industrial elements. The dark ambient influences are less dominant, making the music of LARRNAKH more explicit.

Przed włączeniem zapisu muzycy niemal niczego nie ustalają, ale grając przeważnie dbają o zwartą formę i wyrazistość brzmienia. Starają się przy tym uwiecznić swe działania w możliwie profesjonalny sposób. Wykreowane dźwiękowe historie wytrzymały próbę czasu i radykalnie odcinają się na tle tego co najczęściej opatruje się pojęciem jazzowej czy rockowej ekstremy.

MURDEROUS VISION - "The Times Without Gods" CD  (Live Bait Rec.) - 30 zł - Deep layers, melodic keyboards, classical samples, some ritualistic percussion here, some low-pitched echoed plus chorused voices there, and a good dose of darkness via reverb and minor chords; you already know the formula, don't you? But the fact is that, even if Murderous Vision repeats the patterns of an established genre with a superb accuracy .. and then, maybe you can infer that this is the case of a perfectly planned album, which lacks an own soul, and that's not precisely what surrounds me .., Mr Petrus demonstrates that it has an identity as a composer. And moreover, I would describe some parts of the recording as highly emotional, giving that somewhat special touch to the album; the quality all art should transmit and something that some technically depurated musicians tend to forget nowadays. Add to it a few carefully arranged pictures (layout work of the acclaimed Michael Riddick) in a standard jewel case, but with a professional appearance, and, as a whole, here you have the reasons why an edition like this couldn't keep on passing unnoticed for the average fan of the more listenable side of Industrial. A perfectly designed product and an infallible bet, which surely decided the artist to give its best in all senses once he realized what he had between hands. A moment of brilliancy and a high mark difficult to be surpassed in the near future, but that can set a new beginning for the band.

PHRAGMENTS - "Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood" digipack CD  (Malignant) - 30 zł -  You’ve seen it before. Certain bands or artists delivering their finest work with their first recording. Then, in futile attempts to capture some of the same magic, becoming formulaic and stale, rehashing ideas and never really achieving the same caliber of work. Others, expanding on the elements of their prior releases, and through a natural maturation process, get stronger with each release. That would certainly be the case with Phragments. With their third full length studio CD, this Slovakian duo have made remarkable strides not only in quality but in scope. Equipped with an enriched sonic palate, Earth Shall Not Cover Their Blood mixes forceful brass and dark orchestral strings with rolls of powerful tribal percussion, somber wind instrumentation, ominous atmospheres, industrial clangor, and a strong and commanding vocal presence, particularly on tracks like “Over Deadlands” and “The Kin of Cain”. Cohesive, complete, and epic, this is a release that will open some eyes to new found authority of Phragments. Yours to discover. In 6 panel digipak

POETS TO THEIR BELOVED - "Embrace the Fool" Digipak CD (Equilibrium Music) - 35 zł -  Debut album by the German/Dutch duo who conquered physical distance through proximity of hearts. On the verge of neo-folk, Poets to their Beloved offers a unique atmosphere built on stringed instruments such as acoustic guitars, cello, violin and bass.

PSYCHOMANTEUM - "Oneironaut" CD (Cyclic Law) - 35 zł - Cyclic Law is proud to bring forth another new comer to it’s roster, this time with US duo PSYCHOMANTEUM’s debut “Oneironaut”. The album is a sonic portrayal of dreams tainted with the beauty of melancholia and mystery, based on various dream structures and esoteric emotions of it’s creators. Carefully manipulated field recordings layered with dense melodic drones, processed guitars and keyboards form the foundation of this body of work. The concept of the dream traveler is the main focal point behind each piece, serving as an orbital center which feeds energy and emotion into all encompassed works. A travelogue of otherworldly proportions, where the search for one’s self leads you into the abyss of the soul. Relinquish consciousness and let the subconscious speak… The album’s unique visual artwork was carefully channelled by the legendary Kati Astraeir. Edition of 1000 copies in 6 panel Digipack
8 Tracks. Running time; 60:00

RASALHAGUE - "Theories Behind Chaos" 3'CDr (Rasalhague Music) - 12 zł - Packaged as a mini CD (3"), full-color artwork, and 2-page professionally-printed booklet inside a mini clear snapcase. Limited to 111 hand-numbered copies.  I love getting releases like this...hidden gems that catch me by surprise and just completely deliver the goods. The Vestigial debut 3 inch was the same way. You listened to it, and you pretty much knew within the first 4 minutes that they were onto something out of the ordinary and a notch above the rest. And so, we have here Rasalhague. A one man project from Indiana, this debut is a swirling black mass of brooding drones and weighty cosmic doom. Definitely for fans of Vestigial, Terra Sancta, Cyclic Law, and things of that nature. One to keep an eye on.

REFORMED FACTION - "Until..." digipack CD (Greytone) - 30 zł - Reformed Faction are Robin Storey and Mark Spybey , both ex-members of ZOVIET FRANCE and both with long established and productive solo careers as Rapoon and Dead Voices On Air respectively. This is a new set of recordings built around the ideas of abstract compositional instructions similar in meaning and intent to those used by Karlheinz Stockhausen in such works as “From the seven days”. Eager to create a diverse and ever changing catalogue of works Reformed Faction here embrace improvisation, a feature fundamental to all their recordings, with a different focus and sensibility allowing sounds to evolve slowly and sub-conciously across a unrestricted timescale. The higher one rises, the more do the vibrations harmonise, unite, spin out like certain great notes of Beethoven’s String Quartets, which seem to draw us vertiginously, with held breath, to the resplendent heights of pure light”.

ROBERT RICH & FARYUS - "Zerkalo" CD  (Faria Records) - 30 zł - Tangential glimpses remotely echoed, untethered from touch. No time nor place, no past nor future, internal, external. Sculpting from energy, clouded motion vaguely slipping. Evanescent vibration, without meaning apart from its own open secret.

ROME - "Nos Chants Perdus" digibook CD + T-shirts [Limited Collector’s Set] 2010 (Trisol) - 139 zł -  /size M or L/ This serves to create a new kind of intertextuality between word and sound. Following on from their EP ‘L’Assassin’ (2010) ROME assiduously develop their sound further on the minimalistic, simple singer-songwriter album ‘Nos Chants Perdus’, slowly leaving the apocalyptic realms behind them. Catchy melodies, which breathe the timeless atmosphere of the metropolis on the Seine, impress themselves on the memory. The sonorous voice bears the weltschmerz as well as the yearning for freedom and peace. Apart from the French song titles the lyrics are primarily performed in English, while the music is constructed primarily with acoustic instruments: piano, guitar, touches of strings, accordion. They have largely relinquished electronic elements, which marks ‘Nos Chants Perdus’ out as a further stride in the work of the band. ‘Nos Chants Perdus‘ by ROME is an exceptional and valuable example of the art of singer-songwriting, the likes of which haven’t been heard in this concentration and with such gravity for a long time.
