    Label: Shadowplay Release – SPR 148, Zhelezobeton – ZHB-XXXVIII, Monopoly Records – none
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition

    Released: Apr 22, 2014
    Style: Ambient, Dark Ambient, Downtempo, Experimental, Minimal

    The Moscow-based project Cyclotimia, well-known for its long-standing interest for the world of global finance, stockmarket speculators and multinational corporations, presents its new work «The Invisible Hand of Market». According to the musicians, this is not a conceptual album dedicated to the economic term of Adam Smith. In this case it’s rather a metaphor “invisibly” linking together various compositions created during 2010-2013.

    The album’s program consists of ten polystylistical tracks combining such genres as «post-industrial», «minimal(ism)», «dark ambient», «experimental» and «downtempo». The main line is a connection between the “sacral” and the “futuristic”, a combination of a liturgical atmosphere and electronic music based on the above-mentioned styles.

    A separate part of the disc belongs to a 20 min. long electro-acoustic suite “Oil & Gas Colony” in five acts. Parts of vocal, classical string, wind and percussion instruments were recorded inside a dome of an abandoned radar station – a carbon fiber sphere 20 meters in diameter with a unique acoustic environment. This monumental work tells about the malignant nature of the resource-based economic model in modern Russia.

    The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud (styled The Moon lay hidden beneath a Cloud) was an Austrian musical duo composed of Albin Julius and Alzbeth. Their music reflected their deep fascination with myriad aspects of European medievalism including ritual, clerical chants and the daily experience of the peasantry.

    Their music combined modern electronics, tape loops and samplers with medieval instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, shawm, and Hexenscheit. Alzbeth was the primary vocalist for the group and often sang traditional songs in numerous archaic languages including Middle High German, Latin and Old French. Julius provided distorted and backup vocals.

    When performing live, the band often played in old churches, fortresses, medieval prisons and theatres that provided an appropriate atmosphere for their static, militaristic performances.

    Early on, the band provided no official photographs or any more information outside of a Swiss mailing address found inside of the albums. The band rarely appeared live or granted interviews. No songs were ever given official titles. After their split, both of the duo were considerably more vocal and promotional images were released.

    With each subsequent release the band presented themes traveling further into European history and becoming more martial, choral and bombastic in approach, culminating in their final album; the largely World War II-inspired The Smell of Blood but Victory (1997)…

    REDVCI – Sprezzante Adunata Di Noi, Ultimi Indomiti

    julio 21, 2025

    REDVCI – Sprezzante Adunata Di Noi, Ultimi Indomiti
    Label: Perimetros, PR 144 CD 103
    Format: CD, Compilation
    Country: Italy
    Released: 2025
    Style: Electronic, Experimental, metal, Punk, Disco, Rome

    REDVCI: un’adunata di artisti liberi, sprezzanti dell’oggi ma senza età; puntellatori di memoria, ma anche pionieri dei suoi più pindarici lasciti.

    “Su non fraintendibile appello degli ideatori, fondatori e organizzatori, Yorga (ex Aborym – Boslide) e G/Ab Volgar (leader dei Deviate Damaen), i più indomiti nomi della musica estrema italiana si sono raccolti attorno a un progetto discografico stabile e militante, intenzionato tanto a ostentare la più schierata appartenenza ideale, quanto a strafottersene di censure e ricatti propri del declino creativo da vomito in atto.

    Con simili premesse, non è stato difficile avvistarsi e contarsi fra spiriti eretti, in una porcilaia di gobbi pronati al conformismo dell’algoritmo e di sorridenti questuanti col palmo teso a pietire pass sanitari e inclusioni alla cipria.

    Un setaccio artistico e umano tradottosi, nel lasso d’un tintinnar di calici, in collettivo musicale dal piglio autarchico e consociativo, moltiplicatore di idee, strumenti, energie e soluzioni tecniche, stante un ambito musicale miserrimo e riprogrammato per isolare i migliori e favorire i mediocri. L’ignavia non sarà il nostro forte; la strafottenza, piuttosto. E la gloria, soprattutto.”
