What emerges is a searing collision of glitch, post-industrial menace, techno abrasion, and scorched-electronic textures—a surreal expedition into the darker dimensions of sonic architecture. This is not just a compilation; it’s a visceral map of the Northwest’s most daring sound manipulators.

En Direct :: The Illusion Of Control (Clear Memory)
Despite the black matter of the eight tracks, the floor is not forgotten with the Leipzig outfit delivering some angular and angry body music amongst their lancing electro and psychological experiments. A soundtrack for the world we, somehow, find ourselves in.
Heavenly Silences and Earthly Noise :: Drone and Ambient Guitar on Silent Records
Sometimes what comes in a flash unfolds over a long period of time. Such a flash came to Silent Records label founder Kim Cascone one winter night as a kid. “I remember sitting in a snowbank and looking up at the stars. I spotted the blue star in the Orion constellation and gazed at it for a long time. Suddenly I had a flash, like one of those speed-collages in a film where hundreds of events all race past in a split second. I call this ‘my download’ & have been unpacking its meaning ever since.”
Contre son :: Infinity of Dreams (Gladivs)
Titled Infinity of Dreams, this effort is a hybrid of styles operating a crossover between neo-classical orchestrations, mystical-liturgic ambient obtained by various synthetic chords and slightly pulsating ritual music.

Radiating enigmatic industrial-electronic pulses from Omaha, Neutrino Effect (aka Jon Sanford) ventures into an entirely different dimension with FAMINE, a fourteen-track assemblage, fleeting in length but with the cosmic force of the universe propelling us through its boundless depths.
Apocryphos :: Atrementia (Cryo Chamber)
Atrementia was composed exclusively with circuit bent hardware, home-made oscillators, pedals and electric guitar fed through analog processing. Your memories are dressed in black. I can see them, you cannot hide from my lost eyes. What I hear are warm, analog noise and looped pedal drone balance light and dark, for day dreamers and long nights of reflection.
