With a fantastical yet intriguing story as the scene, we have this three-way collaboration piece to provide the soundtrack. Highly respected French artist Flint Glass has teamed up with lesser known, closely related German acts Polarlicht 4.1 and Transistor to offer 45 minutes of ice-cold atmospheres and dark archaeological beats.

Caustic – The Golden Vagina of Fame and Profit
Welcome to Mr. Fanale’s most accessible release to date. As Caustic so aptly reiterates on the opening track, “The Golden Vagina of Fame and Profit” is all about the beats, rhythms and hooks. It is surprisingly catchy, and with just about every song featuring a very driving rhythm, this is most likely going to be one of the top industrial albums of the year.
Mobthrow – Mobthrow
This very promising debut release from Mobthrow presents an album that is, for the most part, full of mellow drum’n’bass and dubstep, but enhanced with a number of different characteristics. The album is quite moody, emotive and sullen, often having a meditative aspect to it.
Original Soundtrack to a RIOT
A free compilation from the French audio-activist label/collective Audiotrauma, on the occasion of the 37th G8/G20 meeting in France.

Karsten Pflum – No Noia My Love
Karsten Pflum presents “No Noia My Love”, which showcases a wide range of electronic styles. Classified as mellow electronic dance music, each track seamlessly flows into the next, so that the entire album comes together as a single, cohesive piece. This is a strong release from an artist I was previously not at all familiar with.
Dekad – Monophonic
“Monophonic’ is an eleven-track slab of synthpop – a great album that shows off some excellent talent and skill, well worth a listen if you’re a fan of synthpop.
Slew52 – Catalog
Overall, “Catalog” is a fine album, as long as the second disc is considered as bonus material, a glance into a different side of the artist but not an integral part of the record. The tracks found on the first disc are enough to please anyone craving good electronic music, provided you don’t mind the smattering of genres.
Sharps Injury – Back from the Dead EP
The latest EP from Sharps Injury (another project of Keef Baker), “Back from the Dead”, is a release that would fit well on the Hands catalog. This album portrays an alien or outer space theme throughout, providing some rhythmic noise elements, but also bringing in some dirty and deep beats.
