For my money, the Schimpluch guys put out some of the scariest music on the planet. This Raionbashi 10" is exemplary of the collective's organic cut-up aesthetic which creates an utterly unnerving atmosphere through its collage editing of treated field recordings, body sounds, acoustic / electronic tones, and most importantly silence. Besides the use of space, what makes the work of Raionbashi, Dave Phillips, Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock et al. so effective is the selective use of harsh sounds, or even the complete lack of harsh sounds on certain recordings like this one. Essential listening!

Helm / To An End
Superb dark atmospheric tape loops and electronics. The dense, hypnotic layers of warmly physical field recordings seem almost architecturally rendered in the carefully-structured way in which the vast and lonely soundscape unfolds. A rewarding listen that welcomes repeat visits.
