Reigns – The House on the Causeway

Listening to this album is always a mood and mind altering experience. The album cover is so eerie, makes me chill with goose bumps all over just by looking at it.

My favorite track is Take It Down by far, it has a very special and personal place in my heart. It will always make me wonder of an exquisite atmosphere where ghosts come to haunt the world but they make friends with people of the night and exchange stories of life and death.

There is this little girl sitting on one side of a seesaw deep inside a forest just among a little clearing in the woods when dawn barely breaks and light dimly illuminates the rising mist, and all she wants is to reconnect with someone from this world who tells her a good night story to be comforted by and leave with.

I love the idea of such a moment. We should connect between these states of being so much more.

Mike Cooper – Fratello Mare

Alright, this is something completely wicked. Like listening to some ukulele-driven tropical elevator music while being completely fucked up on acid and having a seriously twisted trip. It is not good, per se, but cannot not listen to it.

The Black Dog – Neither/Neither

The new Black Dog album provides an equal amount of moody-darkish electronics, some ambient peace and pleasant techno. For the first run I listened to it five times in a row. And still rolling once a day. Something I didn’t see coming and offers a great deal of pleasant surprise.

Fear Factory – Genexus

Ladies and gentlemen, the new Fear Factory album has landed. Does what it has to do. I love that it has both the drilling industrial metal speed and the singed verses at the same time. I’m not saying that it’s good that it’s like the old times. It is new times it’s just still fucking great. See you guys in Vienna in november!

Urceus Exit – Contra [Bonus Tracks and Remixes]

This is something unexpected that popped up in the dark electro-industrial station on Rdio with a track and listening through the whole album was well worth doing so. I will be interested to check out the full discography of Urceus Exit now. Has something like the same stumble upon experience when I came across VAST back at the time.

Electronic, melodic, something underground something, but could not be more specific than that. It just feels deeply personal and intimate.
