Derrick Stembridge and Mike Petruna’s Cryptic Logic is an easily-digested industrial album with atmospheric aspects. It is mindful of Front Line Assembly’s more atmospheric works, with dystopian and futuristic elements.

Synthetic Ecology :: How the How Affected the What
“I (also) urge musicians to write using whatever means they choose and would suggest that means can affect results in a composition, but believe that some expression is possible using almost any means of musical creation.”
Gigi D’Amico :: Together (See Blue Audio)
Together by Gigi D’Amico is indeed a unique and offbeat album. Like many works that are off-center, it likely will provide a lot of appeal, but mainly to certain listeners—to those who particularly vibe with its eccentricities.
Disorganism :: Fear of Nature (Adventurous Music)
If a progression exists in Disorganism’s Fear Of Nature, it is from remains of authentic nature to odder and stranger combinations of organic and artificial elements, until the two are impossible to distinguish.
Thedi :: Live at FSK-HH (Adventurous Music)
Especially notable are occasional bursts of crisp, digital static. I enjoyed imagining that the performance was a kind of industrial construction itself—as though I was hearing music while looking at its naked guts.
Parallel Worlds :: Fragmented (DiN)
Listening further and more closely, I perceived that Fragmented sounds more contemporary—the music has an industrial edge. The album has a tasteful minimalist quality as does much of Cluster, but it sounds more relentless and more driven in pace.
