Review:
Noted New York noisesmith Alan Licht has long been known as a man prepared to take the humble guitar into the outer realms, and so it is on this turn for Editions Mego. Running distorted squalls of six strings into a mess of electronic interference, this is no easy ride but there's a staggering amount of expression worked into the spluttering notes and ranging chords of Licht's Four Years dichotomy. Rarely resting in one sound for too long, this is far from the laborious patience-rewarding tropes of the noise scene and far more visceral, even as the cranky sonics give way to soothing harmonious passages. It may sound at times like an accidental racket, but anyone with a love of punk and hardcore will find this resonating with them like few other projects in the avant-garde world.

Review:
Daniel Menche has been on just about every credible experimental label around, from Jon Wonzencroft's Touch to Antifrost and coming back this time on his regular Editions Mego spot. His productions are complex and brimming with grit, having been an inspiration for countless contemporary artists, both within the field of noise and drone. but also house and techno. His latest amalgamation of sounds comes in a two piece format, each part consisting of almost twenty minutes of madness, starting with "Marriage Of Metals 1", where Menche goes straight in with a bang, propelling his usual blend of metallic power electronics and convoluted background atmospherics. "Marriage Of Metals 2" carries on from its predecessor, this time calming the storm but utilising the same wardrobe of acoustics and sonic accessories.

Review:
Quanta Of Light sees a New Touch broadcast from a truly pioneering figure of modern electronic sound design in the form of Daniel Menche. Having been producing since 1989, he's featured on pretty much every serious label there is in the world of ambient, drone, noise and experimental music, and we finally have this beautiful LP cut see a deserved digital release. Each collage is a near-20 minute voyage in the ether and starting with "Quanta of Light I", Menche builds and destroys his own personal sound world, with an individual ability to align crude noises with majestic, unwinding pads, to paint a rather delicate but bold picture of his own musical ideas. The same can be said for "Quanta Of Light II", where the concept unfolds with patience and grace to leave us yearning for 20 more hours of wide-screen soundscapes.

FOCUS 2
15 Apr 13
Review:
Appearing with increasing and ever-satisfying regularity on the far reaches of the electronic music radar, Mark Fell's Sensate Focus project returns for the cryptically numbered Sensate Focus 2, marking the fifth release in the series for his eponymous label. The rules (if you can call them that) are much the same, plotting algorhythmic malfunctions through neon soul and finely diced percussion that snaps and whips with dexterity. However on first impressions much of the rhythmic irregularity that has made mixing earlier instalments a daunting task has been preserved for the lopsided vocal triggering, while the core groove itself comes on more tangible, at least for significant chunks of the roaming sides of this record.

BLACKEST 014
02 May 13
Review:
Given the label's cultivation of previously unheralded talent such as Raime and Dalhous, a new name on Blackest Ever Black is always going to be an enticing prospect. Alexander Lewis seems keen to maintain a low profile, but A Luminous Veil is one of the most striking debuts in the field of industrial electronics we've heard in some time. Supposedly created using only synth, microphone and pedals, and apparently recorded in one take with minimal computer processing or post-production, it's a varied set from start to finish; opener "The Third Room" and "Figure Moving" both sound like synthesized power metal, while "Mirror Fragment" creates a foreboding drone landscape; "She Demands Attention" meanwhile places what sounds like a short wave radio monologue amidst squalling guitar feedback. With shades of the material coming from Dominick Fernow's Hospital Productions and the more extreme ends of Editions Mego, A Luminous Veil is essential listening.

Review:
Stepping up to Dublin's bastion of beats, Anno Stamm is a fresh name by all accounts, although it's hardly surprising to discover that in fact it's 50 Weapons regular Anstam stretching his moniker out for a cheeky excursion further west in Europe. There's still a recognisable complexity to the ingredients Lars Stowe pours into his tracks, as alien melodies and unidentified beat sources bubble away in a thoroughly singular broth, and so the FragmentsA record follows on neatly from the likes of Dispel Dances. If anything has changed for this outing, opening track "I Still Have The Photographs" is slightly more pared down in its amount of elements, but then the hustling drums and twitchy melodies of "Purple Clouds" put paid to that notion. Indeed "A Triangular Patch Of Lip" is equally irreverent, summoning up Italo daemons and electro wraiths for the most discernible floor burner on this record.

Review:
Now known to be a duo consisting of Lukid and Simian's Simon Lord, Arclight return to Jacques Greene's Vase label with Turntable Down, which from the title track immerses us in a world of aqueous synths, gnarly drum beats and nostalgic vocals. "Obsidian" is comparatively more uplifting but nonetheless euphoric and mesmeric, whilst "Hold Against The Light" heads brings forth some guitar-meshed rhythms without losing any of the duo's electronic tendencies. "One Seven Three Four" closes the EP in style for what is probably the most daring piece of acoustic-electronic-grunged out psychedelia on the entire release - recommended.
