With this new release Eg0cide productions wish to make you discover the work of Cédric Lerouley, a discreet and underestimated drone/experimental artist from France. The 2 tracks of “Manifestation” show 2 sides of his work : mysterious, subtle & ominous drone (which reminds me a bit of Jim O’Rourke’s “Disengage”) and delicate acoustic minimalist music…
Like most of his music, this album has firstly been published in 2005 as a (now out of print (??)) limited CD-R on COmmA, Cédric’s own label, and was (like all CommA releases) packaged in a splendid handmade cover.

After his debut mp3 release Sailing The Sea Of Nothingness, Lusruta comes back with a 2nd album Transparent Obscurity, this time on CD-R (limited edition of 30 handnumbered copies)
It contains 8 tracks of of epic dark ambient, sometimes cold and gritty (In Darkness We Lust), sometimes warm and melancolic (Noa Onge), with subtle minimalist/neo-classical influenced melodies (Elegy, Every Day Another Lie) and occasional discreet beats (The Last Delusion). People who enjoyed “Sailing The Sea Of Nothingness” will probably love the 24 hypnotic minutes of Endymion as I do…

Shatter Fog is the first official release of Digital Mass, a collaborative ambient/experimental act. Their members want to remain anonymous, the only thing to know about them is that the number of people involved in this project is subject to changes depending on the albums.
So let’s focus on their music and enter into their experimental soundscapes, amongst abstract foggy drones, occasional minimal beats, parasited sound transmissions from other planets and/or an antediluvian past…
After 3 mp3 releases, Over& Out, Stillborn Ghosts‘ 4th (and probably last) album is available as a double CD-R from Svartgalgh
Description from the label :
“This fantastic long-playing album defies classification! There are elements of drone, ambient, disconstructed and weirdly re-assembled post rock, industrial and dark noise rock. Both discs come with a complimentary deep and subterranean feel. Supremely adventurous and not to be missed! We recommend this big time!”
For this collaborations started in summer 2009, The Ghost Between The Strings provided guitar-based loops structures to Mister Vapor, who added percussion and other light touches…

Despite being Lusruta’s first official release, Sailing The Sea Of Nothingness is a very mature and achieved recording. This epic droning piece could remind you of Steve Roach’s most minimal works like “darkest before dawn” or “a deeper silence” but it has an undoubtedly personal touch…
…Lay down and close your eyes…The sea of nothingness is loaded with powerful bass resonances and discreetly illuminated by an etheral starlight…You are floating, or flying, or drowning – or maybe simply dreaming?… The abyss is pulsating under you, thick and mysterious…The wide night sky upon you makes you breathe freer and deeper….Your mind becomes thin and extensive like the horizon…
…If after this first trip, you don’t want to go back on the ground, please be aware that “Transparent Obscurity”, Lusruta’s 2nd album is in progress, and shall be released on cd-r by eg0cide in a few months. You can already listen to some samples on his myspace page

Eg0cide Productions are glad to welcome CDRX again, this time with a solo piece : The Dreamscape’s Machinery is another subtle and mysterious soundscape, with a well chosen title and fitting artwork (also created by CDRX himself).
This music is very hard to describe, I discover something new in it at each listening. Not sure it should be tagged as “ambient” (if you care for tags), but I find it very relaxing to play when half sleeping. It reminds me of summer naps when you fall asleep and wake up over and over , and don’t know if what you hear come from a dream, from a buzzing machine in your room, from chaotic uncouscious memories, from insects or noises outside, or a mix of it all…
CDRX has wonderfully caught the machinery of these ambigous states when dreams and reality melt into each other. Now just lay down, close your eyes and try for yourself…
New cdr release by Mystified and The Ghost between The Strings.
We both have used each other sounds in our tracks.
The cdr is packaged in a 7” cover on photographic paper.
