  • Shanyio – Hedera Helix (Hiss And Groove)

    Shanyio – Hedera Helix (Hiss And Groove)

    Shanyio is no stranger to Thoughts Words Action blog. We had a chance to review his previous brilliant work called C and this time Shanyio is pushing borders with another great tape called Hedera Helix. Alexandru once again gathered a lot of great musicians to contribute on his latest piece of art, so this time…

  • Martwa Natura / Schmitt – Solecka – Stadlmeier – II (Attenuation Circuit)

    Martwa Natura / Schmitt – Solecka – Stadlmeier – II (Attenuation Circuit)

    If you like some dark ambient sounds in the morning as I do, then you’ll love this split. Martwa Natura teamed up with Emerge and it resulted in more than half of an hour of very good sound experimentations full of strange sounding vocals distorted by a delay and echo effects, weird background ambiance and…

  • Shanyio – C (Hiss And Groove)

    Shanyio – C (Hiss And Groove)

    First of all, this cassette is not a joke at all. It contains some of the best recorded and produced samples of the various musical instruments characteristic for eastern Europe. Alexandru Hegyes knew all the potential of all of these instruments while he performed and recorded them at different locations such as Berlin, Timisoara, Tormac,…

  • Suspicion Breeds Confidence – Tand CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    Suspicion Breeds Confidence – Tand CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    Suspicion Breeds Confidence is a German electronic music project consisting of Tobias Schmitt while Tomislav Bucalic and Aidan Mark appear repeatedly on the recordings and participate in the live performances. They derived their name from one of the totalitarian slogans from Terry Gilliam’s film Brazil. Suspicion Breeds Confidence is one of the longstanding German projects…

    Lillmeyer / Stadlmeier – Zwie-Spalt CD (Attuenation Circuit)

    This release includes two live recordings of H. Lillmeyer and Sascha Stadlmeier, both recorded in Augsburg during 2015. and in 2016.

  • Luboyna – Radio Luboyna LP (Geenger Records)

    Luboyna – Radio Luboyna LP (Geenger Records)

    If you ever had an urge to take a short break from aggressive, fast and depressive music, now is the right time, and what’s a better pick of the day than Radio Luboyna, a debut LP by Macedonian artist Luboyna.  Seriously, this record will be right up your alley if you’re interested to break your…

  • Savak – Beg Your Pardon LP (Various Labels)

    Savak – Beg Your Pardon LP (Various Labels)

    This LP is one of those records I was super excited about, so I was overjoyed when Geenger Records landed a copy alongside with a giant batch of other LPs for a reviewing. Savak is a powerful trio hailing from Brooklyn, New York and besides being a super rad band with some mind-blowing ideas, they…

  • Sindre Bjerga – Dream Interruption CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    Sindre Bjerga – Dream Interruption CD (Attenuation Circuit)

    I simply love when a release goes hand in hand with the cover artwork and packaging. It gives a complete picture of what an artist had on his mind when he planned to record a release. That’s the case with Bjerga’s Dream Interruption, impressive musique concrete album where Sascha from Emerge used his skills and…

  • Emerge – Oneirism 10” (Attenuation Circuit)

    Emerge – Oneirism 10” (Attenuation Circuit)

    We all have times when we need some special soundtrack for the particular part of the day or you just simply want to turn some music on and don’t care about everyday problems. You just need cool melodies, impressive bass lines, maybe some vocals or even some drum rhythms to move you into the right…

  • Torturing Nurse / Antitalent – Split (Supreme Analog Torture Records)

    Torturing Nurse / Antitalent – Split (Supreme Analog Torture Records)

    Uncompromising, irritant, loud. These three words can best describe a split tape between Chinese harsh noise master Torturing Nurse and Serbian harsh noise artist Antitalent which is, by the way, active on so many levels with his prolific DIY label Jesboligakurac and grindcore band Pro-Past. The first side of the cassette is dedicated to Torturing…

    Bernays Propaganda – Vtora Mladost, Treta Svetska Vojna CD/LP (Geenger Records / Moonlee Records / Pop Depresija / Balkan Veliki)

    Bernays Propaganda returns back with another great record which has been published in cooperation between a couple of record labels. This Macedonian touring machine is simply unstoppable and their albums are getting better by years, they’re evolving as individuals and musicians in so many creative spheres. For those who not heard for this quintet already,…

  • Elektrojudas / XNDL – Split LP (Attenuation Circuit)

    Elektrojudas / XNDL – Split LP (Attenuation Circuit)

    So, here’s something slightly different from the stuff I have reviewed before. I listened to a couple of rhythmic avant-garde projects and most of them are not my cup of tea, but I fell in love with this split LP after a first listen. Elektrojudas and XNDL are more into music than noise, but they…
