Good music and good new labels are easy to find if you apply yourself. Zhelezobeton is not a new label, per sé, but a lot of the bands they work with will be new to listeners who don’t normally follow what is happening in the Russian sphere of influence. This compilation is three hours of…

Various Artists – Unexplained Sounds Group – 7th Annual Report (Mid Year Edition)
Our dear friends at Unexplained Sounds Group release consistently good ambient, post-Industrial and noise music compilations. As we have reached the mid-point of 2021, Raffaele Pezzella and company have released what they (rightly) deemed to be the best of the year to this point. From their Bandcamp site: Unexplained Sounds Group 7th Annual Report (Mid…
Cyanosis – Unscathed
Costa Rica, musically, has always been a mystery to me. The last contact I had was with a brilliant DJ out of San José who hosted a progressive rock radio program, but to find out that there is experimental music coming out of the country is a very pleasant surprise. Cyanosis is not a stranger…
Federico Balducci – And Watch The Earth Below (Cadet Chronicles I)
Federico Balducci is an experimental music composer based out of West Springfield, Massachusetts in the United States. The soundscapes he makes here are engaging, and it seems he’s not only influenced by excellent cassette culture forebears, but his style is rather cinematic in scope, a style that I think very highly of. A very pleasant…
UBURGRUND – Dionelos
At least as I am able to understand it, UBURGRUND is a graphic artist and composer who hails from Băicoi, Romania. This release is inspired, in part by the Romanian modern surrealist author Mircea Cărtărescu and his magnum opus, Solenoid. I have not had a chance to read the book yet, but from what I…
Noisesculptor & God Cancer – Wanderers In The 4th Dimension
Noise music is something you are either passionate for. or you loathe to the depths of your soul. I say this because too many artists not only sound far too similar, it almost sounds like they insult the audience by turning on a vacuum cleaner and try to call that “music.” It’s trash, nothing more. …
Destruktionsanstalt / Cyanosis – Split
For those of you, my friends, who were avid readers of my previous blog, A Miscellany Of Tasteful Music, among the musicians I was proud to champion was Destruktionsanstalt, whose works were featured at this link. I’m pleased to say that Per Najbjerg Odderskov has a fresh release under that monicker, splitting it with a…
Schloss Tegal – Musick From Madness
Schloss Tegal have a storied history in post-Industrial, ritualistic and experimental music. The duo of Richard Schneider (based in Prague) and MWBurch (based in New York) developed a body of work on their own, drawing from some extremely dark places, as well as collaborating with musicians like Aube from Japan and the American experimental music…
Orphan Sound System – Layered Seed Water
My (Western) Easter listening happens to be an avant-garde recording put together in the mid-nineties in Italy and just now being released. Imagine works being recorded nearly a quarter-century ago still sounding fresh and relevant. This is the sound of Orphan Sound System. The project features the talents of Jeff Gburek, John El Manahi and…
Metalhead From Zanzibaria – Tusk Of Well-Being
No, unfortunately, this is not from Zanzibar or Tanzania, but from Russia. Metalhead From Zanzibaria bring a cold, claustrophobic retro experimental sound to fore. Those of you who remember cassette-based artists like Cranioclast will find a lot of good memories with this music.
