Music by Access To Arasaka with words and vocals by Jamie Blacker. Taken from the upcoming album “Geosynchron”.
Ian Boddy & Parallel Worlds – Exit Strategy
It is hard to highlight any of the tracks from this album, as it is a uniquely amazing experience of auditory pleasure, especially for those who are synth fetishists.
Hecq – Avenger
All in all, “Avenger” is easily one of the must-have albums of 2011, ready to take on the newfound mainstream interest as well as keep the older followers of Hecq’s work pleased. Highly recommended.

“24” is the fourth release by Mars Wellink as (ad)VANCE(d) and one he can be very proud of. The cover and vinyl are wonderful and the music triggers the brain over and over again.

However, it has that rare subtle, calculated brilliancy to it that only a few acts, such as Kammarheit or Tholen, can pull off: this is minimal dark ambient done properly.
Voice of Eye – Anthology Two 1992-1996
The big question is if the release has the quality you expect, and the answer is that it even goes beyond your expectation. On two CDs a very good overview is created with several hard-to-find tracks as well as never-before-released outtakes from live performances.
