Kalpamantra single tracks reviews continued …
Lucidstatic
Decent light electro-ebm-idm, easy listening, out of Alaska!
Maculatum
Interesting multi-layered churning dark industrial-ambient spiced with sudden beat/noise eruptions.
Maldur Atai
Variable and imaginative from ethereal heavenly voices to rhythmically surging electro sound walls with industrial drone insertions, very good indeed.
Mind Necrosis Factor
Interesting rhythmic dark electro.
Nanohex
Arrhythmic ethereal electronic meets hovering drone-ambient. Enough unpredictability to keep it interesting.
Navicon Torture Technologies
First class power electronics, aggro, twisted, intense, innovative.
New Risen Throne
Superb, very dark ambient-drone, very intense, very complex, among the best!
Niodene
Good abrasive-corrosive industrial.
Non
Other worldly, weirdly distorted electro industrial.
Nux
Down tempo, low impact, reflective electronic minimalism, a chill track.
Pain Slut
This I had earmarked ages ago, same guy who turns out the laid back ebm: ZERO DEGREE. This is full blown traditional aggronoise, wonderfully enjoyable.
Particular
Weird chill electronics.
Playing With Nuns
Very very unusual, intriguing, abstract and weird, Ariel Chapuis of Buenos Aires produces this plus side project: Void of Coil plus numerous cooperative and split sessions, in total some 160 CD-publications are claimed from 2009, this is generally aggro noise probably as a cure for sacharine-sick tango!
Penjaga Isaf
Very impressive dense ethnic-ambient overlaid with Buddhist chant samples some tracks quite off the wall, weird and wonderful, a side project of Herbst 9 so expect the very best in imagination.
Perpetual Amnesia
Are into noise walls, very abstract.
Phaeon
Excellent deep ambient, a bit more structured/segmented than most as well as more aggro.
Phelios
Melodic deep ambient, excellent.
Phragments
Melodic deep ambient with emphatic powerful percussion at times.
Project N.A.
Rhythmically revolving multi-layered melodic or atonal sounds, different!
Psychomanteum
Imaginative atmospheric electro-ambient.
Rasalhague
Intricate-layered-multifaceted industrial-ambient-drone, should be better known!
RKTIK
Slowly developing, distinctly but lightly rhythmic minimalist electro for the early hours dance floor or just to chill.
Sector 304
Among the best of industrials today, hard-abrasive-very innovative.
Sequences
Subtle-gentle-layered electronics to chill to.
Seelenblut
Medieval, atonal ambient.
Siegmar Fricke
Intelligent. Innovative electro-industrial with woven in abstractions.
S.I.J.
Weirdly distorted, otherworldly electro-industrial, good chill music.
Steelhook Prostesis
Raw, confrontational power electronics, excellent.
Sinke Dûs
Dense-deep ambient. Waxing / waning sound waves over a corrosive industrial base.
Sphaere Sechs
A side project of PHELIOS, superb deep ambient.
Stendeck
Basically keyboard and good percussion ebm. File next to portion control / manufaktura, good dance floor music though a little dated.
Strom
Varies from dark ambient to industrial and power electronics, among the best!
Subheim
Ethnic-industrial, cool.
Tapephobia
Imaginative atmospheric electro-trance.
Terra Sancta
Ritualistic deep ambient, very good indeed.
Theologican
One half of Navicon Torture Technologies speaks for itself, power electronics at its best.
Theratopsyche
Rhythmic dark electro, multi-layered and complex.
This Is Past
Very off beat neofolk.
Treha Sectori
Excellent death industrial-drone.
Troum
Among the very best of dark ambient-drone bands around. Never heard anything indifferent from them.
U731
Black industrial meets black metal, shredded with shrill punk, file next to: Prurient, excellent.
Urusai
Only have a remix track by Adversary which is a good, melodic-melancholy rhythmic track unfortunately spoiled for me by talking insertions.
Vestigal
Outstanding deep ambient.
Vortex
Glacially slow, melodic deep ambient punctuated with occasional percussion.
Vresnit
Ethereal arrhythmic ambient, a chill album.
Wiealnovo
Gentle, atmospheric chill electro.
Xlorite
Electro-aggrotek with a touch of punk, a little dated.
Xtematic
From zen-minimalism to electroclash-noise. Good!
Zen Sauvage
Varies from spaced out electronic with neoclassical overlays to rhythmic electro-glitch.
