Aniello Perduto - Segni Semi [Aut Records 135]

Another album released by the Italian label Aut Records recently is "Segni Semi", the latest full length outing by Robert Di Blasio's Aniello Perduto project which has evolved from a solo affair into a trio which sees him accompanied by Marco Porcelluzzi on tenor saxophone and Simone Vincenzini on drums and objects for the time being. Put out on the circuit on October 15th, 2k25 the album caters a menu of fourteen new pieces rolled out over a little more than 39 minutes, starting with the forceful and alarming air flow pressure of "Astrofischio" which paves the way for the intense and dramatic quasi-repetitions of "Amigdala" followed by the surprisingly calm and nocturnal melancholia of "Ciglio" which layers tender and sustained sax tones in a way reminiscent of klaxon sounds blown over from a distant harbour and therefore presents a thrilling take on all organic FutureJazz for those who know. Furthermore the agitated repetitions and variation of the main motif in "Dolore Interno Lordo" evokes memories of an exaggerated, yet humourous chase scene in classic monochrome movies with "Pallardo" following on a similar, yet melodically upwards leading path before "Nulla" sees the group focusing on building spine-tingling tension from a rather minimalist Jazz angle, "Drenaggio" strips things down even further and, despite featuring some certainly harmonic micro sequences, clearly approaches the genre from a spiralling, whirling and Avantgarde-leaning point of view whilst pieces like the short interlude "Radio Maria" emulate a lost and probably reprocessed decaying FM radio transmission, followed by the fascinating melodic Jazz spirals of "I Would Prefer Not To" and the final, yet well surprising, Field Recording of chirping, tweeting and chatting birds which is brought forward by the closing cut that is "Certosa" just to name a few. A recommended one for all fans and followers of Contemporary Jazz exploring things a little off the beaten path. Go check.

Dory Hayley - I Love Evil [Redshift Records]

Put out on the circuit via the Canadian Redshift Records imprint on September 26th, 2k25 is "I Love Evil", the latest 2CD album set by Vancouver's explorative soprana singer Dory Hayley who explores a set of pieces by Morton Feldman, Jordan Nobles, Katerina Gimon, Rodney Sharman and Cassandra Miller over a total course of more than two hours runtime. Opening with Hayley's interpretation of Feldman's "Three Voices" which sees her performing alongside two pre-recorded vocal tracks of herself over an extended playtime of 67 minutes, carefully layering her ethereal tonal shifts to an outerworldly effect which surely extends the realm of Contemporary and Modern Classical music due to its score'esque qualities and oscillating nature which might also resonate with fans and followers of hypnotic Avantgarde Ambient and whirling Deep Listening Music for a reason, especially thinking of the spine-tingling climax around minute 44ff. here. This rather enchanted approach to panoramic vocals layerings, this time emhanced by widescreen electronic textures and drifting atmospheric processing, continues with her take on Jordan Nobles' "XYZ" which presents a quite Psychedelia-infused listening sonic experience before Katerina Gimon's "Shadow/Light" brings forth an amalgamation of atmospheric Ambient and more of a Classical Opera-leaning take on vocal performance, with Hayley exploring fluttering high frequency vibratos and making use of her full register, in parts backed by a surprisingly rhythmic and ecstatic foundation whereas Cassandra Millers' final cut "How Weird He Must Think The World Is" even employs an array of disembodied whispers, conversational fragments and processed remnants of Spoken Word alongside heavenly choir sequences and rather noisy, aggressive and off-kilter outbursts dynamically overpowering the rest of the composition whilst emerging from the horrifying depths of the sonic underworld just to provide a brief overview of what fans and followers of Contemporary Avantgarde can expect from this album.

01. Various Artists - The Worst Edits Volume 9 [Members Only 025]
What even is this series? After taking an extended break from 2014 to 2022 before returning to the vinyl circuit the Members Only label has provided the rather adventurous underground DJs with a string of releases leading up to what be referred to as a filthy abomination in this one. Super lo-fi Industrial GothTechno edit business for strobe-lit basement dancefloors, glitched out highspeed Disco madness and endless Tribal x House x PostPunk fusion bits which might be deemed unplayable by many younger generations DJs of today. Only for those who know.

Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music: An October 2k25 Discogs Round Up

So another month has passed and whilst nitestylez.de head honcho baze.djunkiii has continuously worked on the Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music on Discogs presence and stock a few things have happened and some gems have been added to the inventory which we'll try to highlight on a roughly monthly basis from now on. But before we head to releases for sale we've come across our first non-paying buyer which since then has been blocked, of course. Interestingly this user had seemingly only placed one order before, a few years prior, which also remained unpayed (after thirteen days) and therefore led to a rating of 0.0% with one negative feedback and now made it two. Thanks for the implemented auto-cancellation process on Discogs which we had set generously to seven instead of the default four days buffer for payment. But still - why do ppl do this and block sellers inventory from being sold to commited buyers? Strange.

Limited Edition Restocks:

1. Thee Joker - Untitled [Hotel Lotte 002]
2. Wulfmanson - Untitled [Hotel Lotte 004]

A copy of each 7" vinyl release sold to the same buyer in Belgium earlier this month. According to Discogs not more than 500 copies of these were manufactured for the former Cologne-based Hotel Lotte label which was run by the Liquid Sky Cologne crew in the late 90s as an outlet for all kind of quirky TripHop x Downtempo weirdness and related sonic affairs. With former connections to Liquid Sky Cologne and later being associated with the Liquid Sky Berlin crew for a while baze.djunkiii managed to rescue a bunch of unplayed stock prior to destruction roughly a decade ago. Most of these have been sold but watch out for remaining stock.

Added new and unplayed highlights:

1. Grauzone - Eisbär [We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want Records 041]
"Eisbär" is an undisputed evergreen in NDW / German New Wave but for collectors of quality [electronic] music the most interesting track on this reissue will be "Film 2" on the flip which provides a truly haunting amalgamation of spiralling SynthWave and ProtoTechno.

2. Wolfgang Tilmans - Insanely Alive (Remixes) [Fragile 013]
baze.djunkiii already praised this release on these pages in June of 2k22 as '...nothing but a top notch bang0r.' and it still is a criminally underrated gem, somewhat sitting in between genres like SynthPop and ElectroClash. Also - when was the last time you actually saw the Pet Shop Boys doing a remix for somebody?

Pre-loved and collectible:

1. Juan Atkins & Moritz Von Oswald - Borderlands [Tresor 262 Promo CD]
Seemingly sought after this rare promo CD from the offices of Berlin's famed Techno staple Tresor Records was sourced from an abandoned CD collection. For fans and collectors of Detroit and Dub Techno.

2. Tangerine Dream - Tangram [Virgin]
Sourced from a retiring DJs collection this is an Italian pressing which might be a little rough around the edges but might provide a gateway for someone who starts to get into Berlin School x ProtoAmbient x Synth sounds for a reason.

Arid Landscapes - Arid Landscapes [Signal Chain Records 001]

One of the two surviving albums out of a multi-album parcel sent to us by the Canadian promo agency Riparian Media lately is the self-titled debut by the duo that is Arid Landscapes, released on September 19th, 2k25 via the freshly launched label named Signal Chain Records as the imprints cat.no. 001. Comprised of guitar player Dan Pitt and keyboardist Noah-Franche Nolan Arid Landscapes cater a set of ten brand new pieces rolled out over a total playtime of 53 minutes, bringing forward a soft and pillowing, yet somewhat nervous and restless Ambient-informed landscape from very the start of the opener prelude which evokes memories of Oval's "Systemisch" album mainly due to its fluttering, destabilized guitars whereas the follow up that is "Rmtk" summons a reather hypnotic and spine-tingling presence in terms of ever intensifying rhythmic loops and "Weathered" provides a stark contrast, being based on plucked, almost chiming string tones which are seemingly live processed electronically and, over the tracks total playtime of 12+ minutes, start to slowly defragment in an ever escalating manner. Furthermore "Union" indulges in slightly glitched out and brittle Deep Listening Music somewhat reminscent of echoes of echoes of Deuter's most minimal Proto-Ambient / Berlin School pieces whilst "The Dust Storm" is a on rather funky, strumming and folksy tip before its inherent rhythms are falling apart in a sea of overlapping echoes and delays and the final cut that is "The Optimist" almost touches base with super dreamy Post-PostRock and PopAmbient most likely to be highly appreciated by fans of intimate Instrumental Folk or early Klimek and the likes of just to name a few. If this, or probably PostRock in general is something you gravitate to this album might be worth your while.

Hui-Chun Lin / Masahiko Ueji - Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse In Zero Gravity [Aut Records 136]

Put out on the circuit via the ever active Aut Records label on October 1st, 2k25 is "Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse In Zero Gravity", the second collaborational album crafted by Hui-Chun Lin and Masahiko Ueji which is released a decade after their 2015 debut suitably called "Fat Cat And Drunk Mouse". With their sophomore longplayer catering a menu of twelve brand new pieces over the course of roughly 76 minutes, sporting titles like the ingenious "A Small Step For A Fat Cat, A Giant Leap For A Drunk Mouse", "Rondo Of The Gas Giant", "The Wow! Signal (Detected In 1977)" and other more or less space related themes we see the two musicians combine their respective instruments, cello and piano, in sometimes quite unexpected, yet rather uplifting ways with the almost ecstatic and wildly spiralling "A Treacherous Trip" seemingly using plucked cello strings as a rhythmic foundation in its intro sequence whereas the "Red Star Club" brings forth more of a rural, yet also seemingly formal influence probably harking back to ancient dancefloors of yore, the playful and oftentimes tongue-in-cheek "The Fake Space Shuttle Got Stolen" even evokes memories of faux cat and mouse chases on display in classical animation films whilst "A Small Step For A Fat Cat, A Giant Leap For A Drunk Mouse" seems to indulge in deep melancholia and therefore provides a sweet haven of calm thought and meditation even though its piano lines keep racing, followed by the entire composition later down the line. Furthermore "Gagarin Shows The Signal And The Position Of Our Predator" dives even deeper into sweet late night melancholia from the start, the "Rondo Of The Gas Giant" seemingly draws inspiration from Classical compositional forms, Jazz and a grain of mediterranean drama before serving cascading waves of interwined piano lines in correspondance with Lin's emotional string works whilst "The First Vodka Outside The Solar System" turns out to be a rather nervous and unstable affair backed by whirling drones and a certain lack of structural stability which, luckily, doesn't matter too much in a zero gravity setting just to name a few. If you're rather intrigued by the title and Improv-leaning Jazz as well as Free Improv are a part of your musical comfort zone go ahead and check this out!

Rough Unit - Desert Crash [Bam Balam Records]

Put out as limited edition of 100 copies only via the Bordeaux-based label Bam Balam Records only recently is "Desert Crash", the latest five track mini album by Rough Unit, an actual side project by RG Rough who's been closely associated with the label ever since the release of his album "60" back in 2019. Opening with "Snake Drive" we see Rough Unit embarking on a journey into rather stripped down and whirling atmospheric PostPunk realms evoking memories of both Tristesse Contemporaine as well as David Lynch for a reason whereas the follow up that is "Red Light Down" weighs in a little more of a straightforward late night dancefloor attitude for all the creatures of the night heavily into PostPunk - and Batcave, vibewise. Furthermore the subsequent "Night Horns" work their way up to a rather dramatic and spiralling climax (not climax) after a suitably dark and nocturnal intro sequence followed by "Dead Ringers", a creeping, constrained and atmospheric sonic exercise accompanied by a fascinating variation of a rather intimate speak-singing performance in terms of vocal delivery whereas the final 8+ minutes cut that is "Ten Miles Under The Radar" weighs in a slightly noisier, defo spine-tingling and probably Industrial-informed PostPunk vision for fans of early Tropic Of Cancer releases and other folks in the know. Go check.

Best song ever. I'll be forever grateful for the one who, unknowingly, nudged me towards this masterpiece. You are my forever heroine.

Daniel Szwed - Splinter [Rope Worm 009]

Another fresh album released by the Polish label Rope Worm on September 24th, 2k25 is "Splinter", the sophomore longplay outing by Daniel Szwed who is collaborating with a set of guest artists on the six tracks and roughly 28 minutes spanning release which, one at a time, chime in both with instruments like piano or flutes as well as with lyrics, providing additional layers to Szwed's electric, electrified and electrifying sonic explorations. With "S1 (With Jessica)" we're entering a dark, spatial and nerve-wrecking realm of hyper-compressed Post-Bassmusic with an intense Industrial twist immediately evoking vantablack memories of Mick Harris' Scorn project whereas "S2 (With Natalia Gorecka)" brings forth creeping and claustrophic, yet metallic and futuristic sounding Rhythm Industrial before "S3 (With Mala Herba)" seems to fuse a rhythmic approach taken from genres like Clicks'n'Cuts with tectonic low end shifts and spine-tingling whispers emerging from dark corners of the listeners mind. Furthermore "S4 (With Liam Andrews)" further explores the realm of Post-Bassmusic meets Broken Techno in a super stripped down musical format which might at times even resonate with fans of Deadbeat in his darkest and most nihilistic moments, "S5" - the sole solo work on this album - caters an amalgamation of electric buzzing, earth shaking bass music and mind numbing drums all falling together in what can be described as time-dissolving Illbient nothingness before "S6 (With Mala Herba)", once again, rounds things off in a rather enchanted, ethereal and almost spiritual way with Mala Herba's multilayered vocals epicly floating atop Szwed's brooding rhythm and bass foundation, breaking through the wall of sound like a first ray of sunlight breaking through turbulent and fast moving clouds after a heavy storm. Highly recommened, this!

Marmur - Elektroniczne Systemy [Rope Worm 007]

Put out on the circuit via the highly appreciated Rope Worm label operating out of Warsaw / Poland on September 24th, 2k25 is "Elektroniczne Systemy", the most recent three track album by Artur Ruminski and Macio Moretti who are operating under their shared musical alias that is Marmur. Opening with "Ludzkosc" the duo brings forth a combination of raw and rumbling percussive movements for fans of close up Electroacoustic Jazz in combination with calm, floating and rather Ambient-sounding synthscapes for the Indietronica and Post-PostRock posse which are becoming more haunting and ghostly over time, followed by the spatial and subaquatic electroacoustic minimalism of "Drenaz" which is a gem for collectors of what is best described as Deep Listening Music emerging from cavernous subsurface vaults, catering an array of buzzing electric rhythm signatures evolving into a stripped down, yet dark and somewhat abrasive take on IDM / Electronica whereas the final cut that is "Objazd" caters a raw, rather glitched out and probably Breakcore-infused variation on heavy Industrial Electronics and Rhythmic Noize experimentations for the darkest of dark underground dancefloors. Only for the headstrong. Go check!

Duffhues - It Has No Face [Zwarte Vleugels]

Scheduled for release via the Belgium-based Zwarte Vleugels label on October 24th, 2k25 is "It Has No Face", the latest album conceived by Duffhues who first appeared on the scene with a self-released cassette tape roughly 30 years ago and has continuously shaped his approach over decades, coming at things from an angle at which he doesn't refer to himself as a musician but rather more of an author, observer and, probably..., a vessel for inherent darkness present in the world today. Once again approaching things form a mono angle sonically Duffhues caters a menu of eleven songs over the short course of 29 minutes, backing raw, grungy and Blues-infused guitars with what seems to be a steady pulse of electronic or rather electronically enhanced bassdrums and a rather unconventional take on storytelling and songwriting which seems rather influenced by observational conversations than by the rule book of traditional songwriting both in arrangement and lyrical structures with spontaneous eruptions of detuned x off-kilter feedbacks in the title track that is "It Has No Face" whilst the subsequent "Smart" is almost seductive due to its simple, cut back and hypnotic main motif before the swirling, brooding bass guitars of "Demon Witch" are fully living up to the songs title, the "Warmonger" bringing on serious heat for dimly lit underground dancefloors whereas the undeniable groove of "Cat In The Box" draws heavy inspiration from dirty Delta Blues and similar sub-genres which makes this specific song one of our personal favorites on the album. This is good stuff. Go check!

And so we gotta big up the one and only Freddy Fresh for the support in his latest 45s x 7" only selction named "Cherry Picking 45 7" Master Mix Volume 1". The entire mix in itself is a lovely selection, yet the Indutrial Electro Acid Phonk fun starts at 33:51 for a reason.

01. Trust In 6 - Life In Ecstasy [Mecanica 097]
The Poland-based Mecanica label unearthed another highly influential classic from the early 90s, this time the 1991-released 12" single "Life In Ecstasy" by Trust In 6 which yours truly heard first in the very first issue of the famed 'Techno Trax' 2CD series which was released by ZYX Records in cooperation with Technodrome International back then. With its clear floating synth melodies, EBM- / SynthPop-leaning vocals which evoke memories of Sven Väth's sing/speech style employed in hits like OFF's "Electrica Salsa", subtle Agreppo-influences and of course fueled by the euphoria of early Rave days "Life In Ecstasy" still holds up to this day as a sonic document of its time alongside being a highly seductive dancefloor bang0r and a certified earworm in its own right. Tune!

02. Tron Revolta - Volume 1 [TRON001]
They say things are coming full circle within the music industry roughly every 20 years and it seems like this approximation is kinda accurate once again. Roughly around the mid-00s we saw record stores being flooded with gazillions of il- or semi-legal bootleg releases of rather questionable origin, mostly sitting within the realm of House, TechHouse or ElectroHouse at first before Techno, NuSkoolBreaks and other genres followed suit. Now, in 2k25, we see bootlegs making a comeback and the one in question here is no exception. Especially added to the collection for the pumping, highly seductive and well functional TechHouse-take on Depeche Mode's "Behind The Wheel" as a major selling point for us "King Of Drop" on B1 makes proper use of the beloved hoover signal which shook the world to the core in Human Resource's "Dominator" for a reason and is defo doing the same to contemporary dancefloors these days, despite adding a rather unexpected tongue-in-cheek Rave twist for a peak time tune.

Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music: A Quick Discogs Round Up

As announced earlier this year myself, that's nitestylez.de head honcho baze.djunkiii to be more specific, has entered the Discogs realm once again after on and off dabbling with the sales-side of platform since back in 2013 - always with the idea in mind to turn this into a curated business model, focusing on the special, mainly underrated, long time forgotten, obscure and / or relatively unknown underground releases when it comes to what I've always referred to as 'quality [electronic] music' for decades. Especially with decades of experience behind the actual counter of a physical record store I've realized that this is what I've always done best in this specific sector - selling the music I'm actually into, unearthing forgotten label stocks, providing guidance, advice and expertise in a field that's vast, rather complex, cluttered and basically incomprehensible due to its sheer size. Just like this website nitestylez.de has been providing guidance in terms of record reviews since the late 90s and will continue to do so Q_e_M - Quality Electronic Music on Discogs is set out to provide a curated selection of mainly new and unplayed sound carrier formats including all things related to the Intrauterin Recordings label group and other baze.djunkiii-releases, labels run by friends, acquaintances and family, releases obtained from trades with trusted sources and underground mailorders as well as occasional - and hopefully more and more regular - brand new and fresh additions to the inventory. Imagine an online source of music which functions like a well and individually curated recordstore the regular reader of these pages would enjoy visiting. That's one for an end goal.

But there's a catch. Every operation which is not backed by major capital funds and resources has to start somewhere. And there we are right now - a clear vision in mind, with selected new and unplayed stock available and a major task to handle.

To build a foundation for things to come we'll be sifting through stacks of hundreds of yet unchecked Library Music CD's which have been sitting in archival boxes for years, a probably 200-250 album strong collection of electronic music CD's we've been taking in a while ago as well as the majority of an entire vinyl record collection from a DJ friend of ours which is rapidly downscaling his personal archive. Alongside these records also came a small collection of sound carriers formerly owned by his parents which obviously includes rather non-electronic music but needs to be worked through as well - a.k.a. fully play-checked and graded with rather detailed descriptions, a feat which seems to be rather rare on Discogs these days - especially for low price second hand x pre-loved items.

Yet our goal is to provide as good of a customer service as possible, even though it can be a rather slow, tedious and time-consuming process especially when it comes to albums which wouldn't be found on the site at all if we hadn't quasi-inherited them. This being said building up inventory from scratch is a priority these days so expect new additions on a regular and feel free to bookmark the link below, with all the proceeds of our sales going directly into the funding of projects like this website and all other pages we run on the interwebz, our labels and of course the acquisition of new stock to sell. Let's make this a thing!

01. Xmal Deutschland - Gift: The 4AD Years [4AD]
Oh, what a glorious box set even though the term 'box' might be a little far fetched for a quite flimsy triple vinyl case which holds not only the Xmal Deutschland album masterpieces "Tocsin" and "Fetisch", which both have been sitting in my collection for many years as og pressings, but more importantly an additional disc featuring remastered versions of all tracks of their seminal 1983 singles "Qual" and "Incubus Succubus" which were - and are still - milestones of Goth and PostPunk culture, not only in Germany. Pressed on translucent dark red vinyl, housed in individually designed outer and innersleeves and accompanied by an extensive booklet covering photos, texts and other memorable snippets from the bands history this is a well essential addition to every genre aficionados collection. Even more so if one has had regular encounters with a few of the band members in the past.

Carlo Cattano - Rituals [Aut Records 133]

Another fresh album released by the Italian Aut Records imprint on June 24th, 2k25 is "Rituals", the latest outing by a five piece ensemble led by baritone sax and alto flute player Carlo Cattano who's accompanied by Emanuele Parrini, Tony Cattano, Cristiano Nuovo and Antonia Moncada in this specific musical setting. Catering a menu of nine brand new compositions rolled out over exactly 55 minutes and 55 seconds we see the quintet embarking on a deep, melancholia-inducing, slightly dusted and vintage sounding tip with the opener "Ntzu" which evokes memories of traditional lore shared over generations, candle-lit taverns and slow dances of yore whereas "Riff 3" opens with playful, yet enchanted flutes, remnants of echoes of what could be interpreted as oriental influences and a largely tender and romantic vibe before drifting into slow, yet complex drum rhythms and expertly executed bass works for an extended sequence. Furthermore we find quite uplifting and probably even tongue-in-cheek violin string pluckings in the stripped down slow Jazz jam that is "Ciuscia" which return, even though on a deeper and more inward-looking note in the rather uptempo dancefloor cut named "Windows" whereas the final "John Tchicai" waves goodbye on a classy, yet once again slightly vintage and old-timey note and therefore rounds off quite and interesting album for dedicated fans of Contemporary Jazz.

DalaiQuartet - Brazzaville [Aut Records 131]

Another fresh release for the Italian staple that is the Aut Records imprint is "Brazzaville", the label and general debut for the DalaiQuartet which was put out on the circuit as the labels cat.no. 131 on June 10th, 2k25. Comprised of Flavio Zanutini, Mirko Cisilino, Marzia Tomada and Emanuel Donadelli the small ensemble caters a menu of nine brand new compositions rolled out over the course of 39 minutes, opening with the measured and sustained brass harmonies of "Intro / Slaughter Meat" which are backed by a wild and thundering drum foundation providing a stark and surprising contrast to the tunes overall feel with the more dramatic sequel "Once" following along on a similar, yet rather repetetive and therefore intense path with additional layers of Funk provided by Tomada's tight take on double bass performance. Furthermore we see "J.B. Alternatives" catering an amalgamation of deeply emotional Jazz with a cinematic and certainly nocturnal attitude whilst pieces like "Parodia Di Un Incontrio" are diving into tender romanticisms and caressing slow jams whereas the short quasi-interlude that is "As Steve" brings back classic brass stabs and a kind of score'esque quality especially suitable for 70s espionage flics just to name a few.

E_wann - Tongeren Bay Area Rascal [Isope 001]

Put out on the circuit as the very first release of the Belgium-based Isope label in early 2k16 is "Tongeren Bay Area Rascal", the six track debut release for the labels head honcho and founder E_wann who's diving deep into a realm of nerve-wrecking, highly experimental electronic dance music with this one, starting with the eardrum shattering high frequency feedbacks of "Little Bat Rhymes" sitting atop a foundation of dry Unformatted Wonky Techno whereas "TBAR", an echo of what could be a lo-fi TribeTekno affair, drowns in layers and layers of raw noise and "HSTonHiNRG" balances between whipping lo-fi Techno and filtered Rhythm Industrial abstractions. On the flipside "Stokedjokes" sees E_wann on a hefty, yet slightly monotonous experimental Techno tip incorporating a set of weird samples and intense filter action for the headstrong whereas "Wookie", the most playable and straightforward cut on this release, touches base with relentless Gabber x Hardcore before the final cut that is "Scratch Bl33ps & Samples" indeed provides tools for the more adventurous DJs out there. This is intense

Dooom Orchestra - Our Sea Lies Within II [Aut Records 129]

Released via the ever more active Aut Records label on May 13th, 2k25 is "Our Sea Lies Within II", the direct sequel to the ensembles firstling which was put out on the circuit in April of 2k24. Drawing energy from and functioning as a seamless continuation of the recording session that brought us the groups debut we see the Dooom Orchestra embarking on a journey into quasi-ritual rhythm signatures and longing sustained Jazz Improvisations with the opening tune that is "Sicapoo" which also seems to incorporate echoes of elements of Turkish / Arab / Oriental tonalities and structures alongside a good portion of off-harmonic intensity whereas pieces like "Vegvisir" bring forth a more scenic, raw and intimate atmosphere and an innate danger heralding tension before the "Jade Monkey Temple" immediately explodes into a screaming FreeJazz x Free Improv crescendo of sorts. Furthermore cuts like "Hail Storm God Nara Swamp Blues" surprise the attentive listener with an ultraminimalist take on Avantgarde x Modern Contemporary composition before entering looming DarkJazz territories undeniably infused by deep melancholia whilst the "East River Prayer" ventures even deeper into eerie DarkJazz lands and "For All Thing To Come" waves goodbye with an array of nebulous yet ethereal choirs touching base with organic Ambient non-vocalisms for a closing. Good stuff, this.
