Description: If we look upon PVZ’s work in 2012. (album ’Izvan Sopstva’) we can see that ’Per Aspera Ad Astra’ is a logical continueum. Those of you who followed PVZ from the beggining will realise that this album, ’Per Aspera Ad Astra’, is something new. Still, there is well known atmosphere that Plamen creates, but something more is hidden beneth the surface of every single note. Deep inside the core of the album is the ultimate silence, beauty and something unknown. This unknown fields, manifested as darkness, are touched by the tourch of Sifr (Slavnik), and that was the moment when the music started to write, literary, itself. We won’t be wrong if we say that the sound of album comes from the inside, this dark and wonderes place, lighted up just a little, enough for the beauty to manifest itself and transform intro the notes. The light is shining, showing the path. The first step has been made, Per Aspera Ad Astra.

08. Lure Of Conquests

09. Cross Organ

10. Soft Drug

Description: Hailing from Toulouse in the South of France, SAÅAD is composed of Romain Barbot and Greg Buffier. The prolific pair have been spending the dark hours of night-time exploring the realms of sound for a few years now with a combination of epic, abstract drone and ambient improvisations, new concepts, elaborate murky atmospheres, and a strong visual identity as the trademark of their collaboration. 

This new full-length album "Orbs & Channels" immerses listeners into the maze of a haunted and shadowy invisible world where superstition plays a key role. Making audible that which cannot be uttered, it is an ode to the beyond, the expression of the inexpressible that is associated to it, and an echo of unfathomable grief. After a handful of fascinating albums and appearances on various compilations - most of them released on tape or digital format through their own record label BLWBCK - we're delighted to have these fellow sound experimentalists carrying out their intriguing research in the Hands in the Dark lab.

Country: Ukraine
Size: 30 Mb

Tracklist:

01. We Have Met Before

02. A Place Called Home

03. Leave

04. Nowhere, Never

05. Nostalgia

Description: "Five Songs" is a small, semi-improvised EP, recorded in one week. Please, find some time to take a listen while having your morning cup of tea or coffee. Don't forget to think of the ones you love and where do your roots come from. Don't forget to think of a place you were born. And remember one very important thing: this is not the end.

Titles of tracks 1 and 4 are inspired by a poem of Ukrainian poet Ivan Androschuk:

Мы с Вами где-то встречались

(розмінна фраза)

А ми зустрічались. Не тут і не в цьому столітті –

В наступному кадрі, чи може, в минулому світі,

Можливо, були ми квітками в одному суцвітті,

Чи просто – сусідніми днями в спекотному літі.

А ми зустрічались. Лиш спогад у пам'яті стерся.

Можливо, були ми двома половинками серця,

Луною і криком, чи змістом одного мовчання –

Ніде і ніколи, та все- таки ми зустрічались.

Ніде і ніколи, та все-таки ми зустрічались…

Два промені зірки в холодному просторі мчали,

Два промені зірки на мить перетнулись в дзеркалах:

А ми зустрічались…

А ми зустрічались…

А ми зустрічались…

Size: 149 Mb
Label: Hidden Vibes

Tracklist:
01. Leave It Alone
02. Behind the Cellar Wall

Description: Equal Stones is a solo expression by Amandus, an ambient producer from the Netherlands also active on the Myosotis project. He felt the need to express himself without any boundary of thought, which ultimately left him with a handful of unsettling tracks which were quite experimental and emotionally unstable. 

From this first release by Equal Stones you can expect a diverse palette of moods. Ranging from warmth, loss, disobedience and darker edges. 

On this record musician has layered quite a bit of guitars, two tracks are almost solely layered processed guitars, and for instance on Drawing Circles there are processed distortion guitars pounding rhythmic phrases.
