    Red Fog – Buried On Vanth


    Red Fog – Buried On Vanth
    Label: Reverse Alignment – RA-17
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Sweden
    Released: 11 Dec 2015
    Style: Drone, Experimental

    Since it’s first release Milk of Amnesia in 2010, canadian Red Fog has entered the stage as a high quality drone act combining experimental and minimalistic elements with swarming soundscapes, always taking good care of the details to make listening a pleasureable experience. Red Fog has already released eight opuses but Buried on Vanth is the first release that actually takes physical form and it’s a bit of a mystery to us why Red Fog hasn’t been released as CD or vinyl yet. Previous releases has solely been devoted to the digital format but maybe it’s intentional, ‘cause who’s actually behind Red Fog?. The artwork is clean from traces…still…Buried on Vanth is a splendid work of art.

    SiJ – The Lost World


    SiJ – The Lost World
    Label: Reverse Alignment– RA-13
    Format: CDr, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Sweden
    Released: 31 Aug 2015
    Style: Ambient, Dark Ambient, Field Recording, Drone

    Vlad Sikach is returning to Reverse Alignment with a brand new SiJ album. This time with a grand force of collaborative artists such as Vadim Getiuk (Aeternam Nocte), Sergey Gabbasov, Tim Six (Creation VI), Vadim Grin (Dream Twice) and Robert Rich (among others). As is expected “The Lost World” shows the trademark of the classical SiJ sound, a lot of field recordings ending up with a very much organic and qualitive ambient, soothing and meditative but also combining rhythmic sections without loosing the floating touch of the atmospheres.

    Making this album Vlad Sikach took inspiration from the novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the same title. More than hundred years later, “The Lost World” now gets a new form and media via the interpretation of SiJ.

    SiJ is an Ukrainian industrial/dark ambient project consisting of two members Vladislav Sikach and Alena Perepadya. SiJ was created by Vladislav Sikach in March 2011 in attempt to develop unique sound combined with various industrial features mostly in sombre dark ambient way. For this reason, SiJ uses great number of instruments such as various guitars, drums and synthetizers as well as handmade mechanical or electromachanical sound devices.
    Recently SiJ started to use field recordings made in various places from urban streets to abandoned military and industrial facilities. Another tools for creating SiJ’s soundscapes are VST-technologies, digital sound processing and CSound sound-synthesizing programming language.

    SiJ used to cooperate with many ambient, dark ambient, drone, industrial and noise projects as well as with people who work only with field recordings.

    All SiJ works come with special graphic design made by photographer and designer Alena Perepadya
