Don Haugen – angels with black wings CD-R)

Don Haugen hails from Eugene, Oregon, USA. I got a small parcel containing various trading goodies including this album. Upon the first listen I was pleasantly surprised. This is almost relaxing music. There`s four long tracks in here (total running time = 75.30 minutes, damn!!!). This is low-fi ,drony,  almost chill-out material. Every track evolves slowly, moves slowly, and slowly drifts like a subtle assemblage. It sounds like a mix between field recordings, ambient noise and ambient darkwave. A  peaceful, almost meditative mood, with a highly desolate atmosphere included. Feels like it`s  late at night and I`m caught inside a lifeless, empty factory. I`m slowly agonizing, my soul is freezing, will someone please help me. Feed me more, indeed. More information here:

Securitron451 – darkmatter (mp3)

I got this as a trade item. Never heard of Securitron 451 before, so I googled it. I discover it`s a free download (and how cool is that). It reads on their website that you can tag their music under: ambient, dark ambient, electronic, experimental, industrial, space noise and noise sci-fi (what a list!). There`s seven tracks on this short album (less than 30 minutes). I wish it was longer because I really enjoy this.  The music is a mixture spacy synth, minimal atmospherics, percussive / noisy elements   with some dark psychedelic undertones thrown in for good measure. It would make an amazing soundtrack to the following movies: Forbidden Planet, 2001 A Space Odyssey and Solaris (the original Russian version).  This recording conjures deep feelings of claustrophobia. Feels like you`re alone inside a space station, and you`re slowly running out of oxygen. Help!
