The music is cold dark wave, played in an atmospheric and romantic way (this is Italian!) with touch of harsh industrial elements and modern electronica, combined with neo-classical and soundtrack-like tunes. In some parts it reminds me a lot of classic Hyperium releases ( Stoa, Anchoarge, Manic P) as well as such Projekt bands as Lycia and Soul Whirling Somewhere or recent CMI signers like :Golgatha:, Atrium Carceri , or even 4AD icons like This Mortal Coil , Dead Can Dance and Clan of Xymox. Roberto creates music which paints an atmospheric pictures in the listeners head. The whole album is true masterpice of art sombre. Enjoy! http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1025 French, Paris based band One for Jude celebrate their 10th anniversary this October, with their third long player, Bonheur dynamique. One for Jude are Billy Amzal (vocals, guitars, producer), Yonathan Ebguy (vocals, guitars), and Benoît Sellam (bass, keys). They claim their music to be 'dark wave', a mixture of new wave, indie rock and electronic/psychedelic ambience. http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1024 One for Jude is a French band, 'Figures' is their first full-length album. They released a mcd earlier, from which two tracks are present here in a re-recorded version. Their style is not so easy to describe, One for Jude makes a rather pleasant mix of pop and 80's wave, with some folky elements. Most songs are quite laid back, acoustic and atmospheric. Sometimes a gothic guitar can be heard. On various tracks, like 'Sonic' The Cure isn't that far away. Special guests on this album are Pierre Ribaute (a famous accordeonist) and Eric Roger, known for his trumpet contributions to Sol Invictus and his project Gae Bolg. http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1023 "Cyclator" is the 2009' release for this pioneer of the French industrial scene.

(flute, alto sax, voice), Glenda Pescado (noises, loops, guitars, keyboards), Nick Danger (percussion, cymbals, devices, dictaphone) and Will Whitney (drones, metals, guitars, samples) recorded “Strange Archers”, “Ni, my lovest one” and “Bright Clear Blue” respectively in 1999, 2000 and 2006. In 2007, Will Whitney edited and mixed original impro-sessions and presented them as an album entitled Lovest. TSM utilize dense, slow, calm, flowing and continuous electro-acoustic figures to construct 3 long textural compositions that clock in at over 73 minutes. This is neither dark minimalism nor pastoral ambience. The music is appropriately solitude and grief but without becoming dark. This reminds dimly colorful, vibrant and organic meditation, between the freeform conceptual landscapes and the more structured interactivity around vocal chanting. Lovest is a mesmerizing and otherworldly experimental recording by four remarkable artists. The album comes in a special “image-book” packaging designed by ZonderZond: oversized hardcover w/ blind impression; 50 pages with photo-illustrations by Alexander Maslenitsyn; full color offset-printing w/ additional graphics by selective varnish. (3 tracks - 73 min.) 400-ltd. http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1021 After three albums under the name SPACE MIRRORS, Alisa Coral launched a new musical project PSI CORPS. The debut album "Tekeli-li" was written, recorded and produced by Coral, dedicated to the memory of Edgar Allan Poe, and inspired by his novel “The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket”. Michael Blackman (of ALIEN DREAM), yet another co-founder of SPACE MIRRORS, played all guitars and co-wrote several tracks. The duo has taken more experimental approach with this album, combining hard edged space-rock of the earlier works with abstract elements of cinematic music. Vocals have been completely abandoned this time as well as notable guest appearances. Coral and Blackman have amazing talent of introducing memorable synthesizer harmonies and guitar hook lines into their music. Conceived as a soundtrack, "Tekeli-li" is more focused on the scenes and characters behind a structure. As a whole, it sounds misty, obscured and rarefied, though in excitingly familiar manner. (6 tracks - 53 min.) http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1020 The self-titled band's first release of instrumental music found its own voice already firmly established. Unlike many bands that never moved beyond post-rock or prog-rock cliches, RAIN TONGUE do not limit themselves to one particular approach, but rather embrace a wide range of possibilities to create music full of beauty, joy and conciliation. Melodic hooks abound, harmonies shine, and instrumentation is dazzling without being overdone. With the addition of occasional heavenly female and male vocalizations and melancholic accordion passages, the music has a general unfailingly romantic bittersweet air and miraculously balances between the moments of driving craftsmanship and quiet repose. All songs are composed by the band’s leader Alexei Ivanov who performed all guitars, bass, voice and most of the piano parts on this album, and confirmed his obvious songwriting talent. An excellent debut in the genre of contemporary progressive instrumental rock music! (9 tracks - 57 min.) http://opn.fr http://opn.fr/index.php?categorie_Id=13&etat=produit_detail&itemId=1019 The trio’s debut-set of nine tracks is a subtle, textured instrumental album that relies much on ambient music and improvisations. It unfolds slowly but logically, and displays a lot of inner heat with engaging and graceful guitar work, hypnotic and fluid synthesizer passes, shamanic djembe beat, and bass forging the bridge between rhythm and melody. Nine has a wonderful fluid meditative feel, and appeals to anyone interested in melodic improvisation and composition. Some tracks includes textures created by Jhonnie of KRATONG. The album was mixed and mastered by Alisa Coral of SPACE MIRRORS. Comes with artwork printed on various colored-papers (green, blue, red, yellow, etc.). (9 tracks - 68 min.)
