Sean Byrne’s Bugskull project returned in 2009 after a long hiatus with the Digitalis-released “Communication.” A few years later they released the acoustic curveball, “Strange Mountain,” on legendary Inland Empire label, Shrimper. We’re very happy that the proper follow-up to “Communication” has landed on the Digitalis shores again.

“Collapsed View” is a whimsical summer excursion through jaded forests and crystalline tides. On the plucked acoustic opener, “Heaven/California,” you’re gently dropped into Byrne’s hazy lair. The repetitive main dirge moves like molasses until you’re appropriately comatose. It’s a dizzying beginning that settles nicely into the bass crunch of “Olde Growth.” Forward movement in the form of a canned ramshackle beat underlines the drawn out leads that appear to floating in a puff of smoke. “Icarus Rising” steals the show with it’s jet propulsion bass line and psych-infused guitar leads. It’s an intoxicating combination that gets better with repeated listens.

Byrne breaks out all the stops on “Collapsed View,” mutating gamelan-esque electronics into an oceanside romp on “Druids.” Hypnotic guitar swells wrap around the piece, elevating it onto a different plane. It begins the second side which, compared to the A-Side, is a meditative ambient affair. Saxophone lamentations puncuate the title track drawing a circle around a star-filled night in the middle of nowhere. There’s an aimless feeling to the piece but in a good way so that you feel weightless as you listen.

Artist: Koenraad Ecker
Title Of Album: Ill Fares the Land
Year Of Release: 17 feb 2014
Label: Digitalis / DigiV063
Genre: Ambient, Experimental
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:40:23
Total Size: 94 mb

Tracklist:
1. Koenraad Ecker – Oran (Part 1) [09:27]
2. Koenraad Ecker – Oran (Part 2) [04:41]
3. Koenraad Ecker – Kurtz [07:33]
4. Koenraad Ecker – One-Eye [07:09]
5. Koenraad Ecker – Decline [02:09]
6. Koenraad Ecker – Stuffed Men [09:22]

**Digitalis debut from Koenraad Ecker, one half of Opal Tapes’ Lumisokea, highly recommended if you’re into Vainio, Joachim Nordwall, The Haxan Cloak. Initial copies on transparent red wax** Belgium’s Koenraad Ecker swiftly follows his ‘Apophenia’ LP as part of the Lumisokea duo for Opal Tapes with a personalised invitation to his shadowy solo zones for Digitalis. Inhabiting space between slow techno and electro-acoustic dimensions, ‘Ill Fares the Land’ surveys similar soundscapes to Mika Vainio and Joachim Nordwall’s recent ‘Monstrance’ LP and Senking’s drowned space. Bolstered by extruded cello strings and serrated bass pulses, the fourteen-minute, two-part opener ‘Oran’ could be the expansive soundtrack to a brutal art-house horror flick, whilst ‘Kurtz’ and ‘One-Eye’ keen towards a sort of mittel European chamber-doom making subtle but integral use of resonant harmonics and traces of arcane melody laced with blackened bass. In the album’s most concise and perhaps poignant moment, ‘Decline’ reminds us of The Haxan Cloak or Roly Porter’s ominous portents, and finally ‘Stuffed Men’ closes with a display of quiet/loud elemental might comparable with Emptyset’s best, imbued with extra space courtesy of Rashad Becker’s typically sharp mastering treatment.

Sure it’s sub-zero in most of the country right now, but Wizard Of’s latest opus, “Face/Skeleton” will quickly warm the trenches. Rhythms blast with relentless force, cascading into stellar bass cuts and topped with scorching vocal samples. Synth leads teleported in from distant eras line the inside of each melody Every piece plays its part. Each side is its own suite, with “Face” pulsing beneath a glass sheen while “Skeleton” pushes forward into a more aggressive groove. Wizard Of is ready to scratch & claw into blackest skies.

5.Acidstars 06:52
6.Blind Guidance 09:12
7.The Sorcerer 03:55
8.Accidentals (Escape Velocity) 09:03

On this debut, Zwei Kreise sheds the chains keeping him held to earth. Methodically plotted chart points give way to dub-infused rhythms that bend the stars inward, close enough to touch. On “Escape Velocity,” Zwei Kreise is patrolling through fields of nebula dust, mining planets haunted by the ghost of Terrence Dixon. Intricate shapes appeaer through a series of seemingly disconnected dots and before you realize it, you’re sitting inside the groove. Zwei Kreise’s lift off certainly makes an impression.

Over the past five years, Ricardo Donoso has continually sharpened his vision and craft into a diamond point. Beginning with Progress Chance then into Assimilating the Shadow, and now As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another, Donoso has pushed further and further into grid-like, trance-infused tracks. This new offering simultaneously closes the cycle Progress Chance began with perfection, and blows the possibilities for the future wide open. Split over two parts, As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another is a treatise on duality and Donoso’s strongest statement to date.

Pressed on separate 45 RPM 12″ records, this album most heavily embraces the dancefloor undercurrents that past efforts only hinted at. Donoso’s ability to juggle multiple rhythms and plot them all together cohesively is in top form. As his darkest work to date, it’s hard to still consider this ‘morning music’ even if vague similarities still exist. With each subsequent album, he has further explored connections between the external and internal self. Ideas shrouded in shadow on the first two records finally become poignantly clear. In the end, everything here is uniquely his own.

Opener “Affirmation” creates the link to Assimilating the Shadow while still pulling the listener deeper into the darkened pyramid that Iron/Verse occupies. Donoso’s composition and production techniques have grown immensely since Progress Chance, and the pacing over the course of these 12″s is impeccable. Bleeding into “The Sphinx,” the focus is further dialed in. As the geometry that’s graced the covers of each album has become more acute, so has the music contained therein. “Diagonal Environment” is a nonstop pummeling of heady bass sequences and subtle leads while the “The Old Straight Track” mixes elements of blackened dub and burnt-out goa into something new and addictive. It’s as if Donoso is continually rubbing off the dullness and ambiguity of past efforts to create something sharper and more refined.

Ricardo Donoso has led listeners on an incredible journey through the sunkissed, post-rave morning in Rio through the black shadows of the pysche. With As Iron Sharpens Iron, One Verse Sharpens Another that entrancement ends. Next time the limits will be destroyed.

1. The Redeemer (07:15)
2. Open Drawer, Full of Masks (05:50)
3. The Child Primitive (07:16)
