parallel fronts…
Well, haven’t been writing about music in ages; not that the last weeks were lacking good releases, but… oh well, maybe I was just lazy. 😉 However a while ago some kind soul on last.fm told me to have an eye / ear on the “On The Parallel Front” album, an online sampler obviously created by x-line net label, collecting tracks solely created by Russian electronics / industrial / ebm acts. And, overally, I have to say this was quite a good recommendation, as most of the tracks are exceptionally strong. Personal favorites of mine, on there: ‘Survivalism’ by Church Of Machinery, a strong, straightforward electro/ebm track reminding me of Tamtrum somehow (asides the fact that I really enjoy the name of this project…), The Pulsar’s ‘Point Of No Return’ and ‘Trinity’ by D.J. GOLUBb. If you’re into darker electronic noises, be sure to check it out, get the tracks (and possibly some others of the x-line releases, and give’em a shot, it’s surely worth the time. Only bad thing, so far: Next to nothing is known about most of the projects and bands involved in this records, no websites, no mail addresses, no nothing. If anyone knows more, feel free to drop me a line…
