[Music] Piarevaracien – Spadčyna / Heritage
First, a debt of thanks to our friends at Heathen Harvest. Yes, we have some differences politically, religiously and socially, but Paddy has done a sterling job in bringing some amazing music to the forefront of the underground music scene. We wish them continued success.
HH recently reviewed a new release by Belarusian folk-metal band Piarevaracien. I had never heard anything from them until today, and though I normally don’t find much interest in the metal work, folk-metal is too intriguing for me to ignore. You find old Belarusian rhythms, including bagpipe music, mixed with a very thoughtful metal compositions.
There’s quite a lot of this sort of music floating around these days, and I’d say most of it is good. This one is particularly so.
[Music] Silber Records: New Post Punk & Experimental Pop from M is We & Bronze Eye
New releases from our friends at Silber Records:
Hello,
Hope all is going well with you. As mentioned last time the increased feeling of financial stability (if not actual stability) has created a dramatic increase in productivity here at Silber. The new releases from a couple weeks ago (Chvad SB, Yellow6, & Anda Volley) seem to be getting some attention & that makes it feel like the label is thriving instead of declining. The weather is hot & the days are long, but things seem good & promising & the future seems unstoppable.
M is We is back with us for an entry in the 5in5 series. Post punk & proto goth somewhere between Christian Death, The Germs, & Cabaret Voltaire. Good stuff & only 5 minutes to check out.

Bronze Eye & LD Beghtol collaborated for a 5 minute EP of experimental pop music. I’m pretty stoked about this EP because the two of them got together because of LD’s 5in5 last year. Helping artists discover each other & work together has been a goal of Silber from the start, so this is awesome for us.

[Music] Dither Craf – Impossible Music [1980] electronic / non-music
Dither Craf are a new name for me. This is pure, cold, rather brutish experimental music which reminds me of the stuff I used to collect in the 1980s. I’m amazed that I missed out on his work.
[Music] V/A – Strange Fruits, Catherine Wheel Tribute
The Blog That Celebrates Itself is a label run out of São Paolo, Brazil, who are developing a reputation for great tribute compilations. The object of their affection is Catherine Wheel this time.
[Music] Creation VI – Myth About Flat World
Dmitry Fedoschenko pointed me to this new release on his label, Black Mara Records. It is a slow, deep, echoing ride down a chasm into a digital cave, where the sounds envelop you much in the way the masters like Steve Roach and Robert Rich, especially in his collaborations with Lustmørd, used to do. Black ambient has a wonderful future in Russia.
[Music] Hakobune ~ Apsidal Motion / Chihei Hatakeyama & Corey Fuller ~ Euphotic — a closer listen
Takahiro Yorifuju’s music is soothing and supple, but new heights are reached on the single, 42 minute Apsidal Motion. Inspired by the starlit sky of Nigata and the countryside of Japan, Apsidal Motion is a dreamy delight. Above all, it’s beautiful music, and we mustn’t take its beauty for granted. Under the stars (and absent of any kind of […]

[Music] Dick Khoza – Chapita

[Music] Gianni Venturi / Lucien Moreau – Moloch
One of the more intriguing releases to pass my desktop in some time. Ferrara, Italy’s Gianni Venturi and Lucien Moreau describe their work here:
Art. Music. Poetry. MOLOCH is the conjunction point between two artists and their visions. A collaborative work about the concepts of capitalism, humankind, ancient cultures, freedom, with an eastern flavor and a hint of madness. But also a due tribute to great icons, such as Allen Ginsberg and William Blake. Electronic orchestral music meets poetry and words with a strong cinematic result.
[Music] Oval – O
70 tracks of pleasantly brief glitch, courtesy of Mr. Oval himself, Markus Popp.
