Cordiox
Outstanding visionary stuff from Mexican artist Ariel Guzik – the kind of record that's a great introduction to his practice – and a sound relic from his mindbending Cordiox, a monumental stringed instrument animated by invisible magnetic forces.

In its depths resides a quartz cylinder, which constitutes its central acoustical axis and took up almost half of the budget of this work. Expl…

Bagirwa Hymn
Two dense obscure messes, from one of the most sacred and funeral masters of the new mystics. A tribal funeral ode. This is great material from Burial Hex - alot more subtle and mature than his early material. Two side-long pieces of rather melodic ambient that turns more and more industrial as the pieces progress. Sometimes the changes are abrupt, sometimes more gradual, but always with nice detail. Ltd x 300 copies with a full-size insert.
