I’d also recommend CD+2LP Progression on Important – I don’t know how that one got lost in the shuffle.

I reviewed it on the site. Will have to get my hands on a copy of this.

Just downloaded Den. I really enjoy this kind of calm-yet-intense dark ambient.

Trying not to buy any records right now though (on a money saving kick!) and it’s been fucking hard to resist ordering this!!!

I’m only familiar with his earlier work on soleilmoon records (static burn, field of skin). I should check out his latest output.

Absolutely beautiful is a perfect description.

I’ve just found the barn owl’s and deaf center’s releases… but ‘Shinjuku Growl’ by The Thing is very hard to come by…
Great suggestions, thanks a lot again!
Cheers,
Giuseppe

PS: would you let me do a little advertising here? I’ve just released a noise work of my own, it’s named “Reversed Etching” under the moniker ‘Hvitskinni’ and it is currently being reviewed by innerlanguage.com webzine. You can download it for free at: http://www.sbudella.altervista.org/hvitskinni
Feedback would be very appreciated. Thanks.

That Oneohtrix album still blows me away, and Demdike Stare just kept growing on me more and more all year.
I need to check out that Daniel Menche album, and so far I’ve been hearing really good things about his new 2012 release Guts.

Great review and totally spot on. I’ve been a fan of CB for over 20 years and its true they did go through a commercial industrial dance phase which hasn’t dated well (and which they’re sadly best remembered for)…..but really this was for a couple of years in their 30+ year career.

Many of their releases ( and there must be over 30 by now) recycle tracks from other releases in various ways so there is a lot of rehashing …… Joe Papas weird operatic vocals are often the only constant factor as they skip styles from one release to another but sometimes these are completely absent.

IMO gems in their canon imo include:

Songs from the Ashes – neo classical / medieval / religious themes
The Poisoner – dark ambient
Our Journeys End – dark dub
The Drowning – noisy sewer ambience, amazing album!
Curd – Early noisy rhythmic experiments (not power electronics)
Inanition – 2 disc comp…..1st disk is a mix of dark ambience and tangerine dream style ambient sequencing, 2nd disk is a well chosen ‘greatest hits’ collection covering most styles but omitting the industrial dance stuff. This is a great place to start with CB.
