"Something New: Moritz von Oswald Trio" (feature)
Vertical Ascent sees Moritz von Oswald return to the fray to conspire  
with fellow tech-vets, Vladislav Delay and Max Loderbauer. A hybrid of  
techno, dub and Fourth World fusion, the timbral density, low- and  
high-end science, and a certain recursion are remotely familiar from  
of old, with something new coming from a live performance element.

"Something Old: Monolake, Fluxion" (feature)
The 15th year of Monolake was inaugurated with Silence. Robert Henke's  
latest evidences plenty still left in the creative tank. Something  
old, renewed. The same cannot be said for lately returned once fellow- 
traveller, Fluxion, whose dub and tech-house infused Perfused gives  
off a less than fresh aroma. Something old, alas, gone blue.

"21st Century Preparation Man" (review)
Eric Glick Rieman's prepared Rhodes electric piano involves as much  
dismantling as insertion, with the insides spread across the  
performing space, not to mention electronic preparations. What sets  
Rieman's music apart immediately are the mechanical noises and other  
native artifacts of the original instrument.

"Fear of Stranglers - Gail Priest" (review)
For some time now, Gail Priest has been exploring the timbre and  
elasticity of sound in a way that has become distinctly her own. Her  
new ep, Fear of Stranglers, is the next installment of this  
exploration, and takes her vocal and sonic manipulations to new levels  
of textural improvisation and processing.

"Flight of the Solstice Queens - Blue Sausage Infant" (review)
Washington DC based Blue Sausage Infant paints a dizzying array of  
sonic wash pulsing with color and Flight of the Solstice Queens does  
not fit neatly in any given sub-genre of drone, noise, or psyche rock.

"L Phantasm - Brown Wing Overdrive" (review)
New York extreme noise improvisers, Brown Wing Overdrive are back with  
another sonic assault with their new album L Phantasm. A "best of"  
collection from their haunted states circa 2006 and beyond, they  
describe it as a "prequel to all of BWO's releases thus far." Roger  
Mills investigates.

"Something Blue: Pop Ambient 2010" (review)
Kompakt marks each year with an issue of drone and tone poems  
showcasing the best in neo-classical and ambient. Pop Ambient 2010,  
curated by Kompakt kommissar Wolfgang Voigt, coordinates the usual  
shades of blue from perennials Marsen Jules, Andrew Thomas, and Thomas  
Fehlmann, while Brock van Wey makes a PA debut.

"Something Borrowed: Dettman, Van Hoesen" (review)
Berlin's Marcel Dettmann, pre-eminent post-mnml practitioner, delivers  
his debut, Dettman, which, for all its veneer, is deep in debt to  
classic techno. Fellow-traveller Belgian producer Peter van Hoesen’s  
solution to "Techno: the LP Problem" is to tinker with tempo and  
texture, his Entropic City relieved by cranked down bpms and grit spray.
