skyhighdiamonds Incredible compositions! So multi layered, textured and multi toned with each track a very different journey. Favorite track: Massimo Olla - toxic exhalation.

code341mega SONOLOGYST is second to none when it comes to curating experimental music and this album is no exception. It's foreboding and beautiful in a way that's not often achieved. I especially love Crawling Death and Blood of the Wolves. Favorite track: Ah Cama-Sotz - Crawling Death.

Esa Ruoho This is the first compilation that HLER has ever been on that came out on CD! Check out our track! :) Favorite track: HLER - Lovi. Segment 1.

miss_dahmer I had the pleasure of listening to this release in preview, and all I can say is that THIS is an extraordinary compilation! Favorite track: SONOLOGYST - Indostan.

about

Pitchfork Media and Allmusic journalist Mark Richardson defined drone music thus: "The vanishing-point music created by drone elders Phill Niblock and, especially, LaMonte Young is what happens when a fixation on held tones reaches a tipping point. Timbre is reduced to either a single clear instrument or a sine wave, silence disappears completely, and the base-level interaction between small clusters of "pure" tone becomes the music's content. This kind of work takes what typically helps us to distinguish "music" from "sound," discards nearly all of it, and then starts over again from scratch."

Since LaMonte Young early experiments till today, drone music has come a long way. Eighth Tower Records is proud to present an anthology featuring 12 projects from artists who work on classic and new stimulating paths for the drone music.

Anthology of contemporary music from Africa continent
by Various Artists

The latest installment of USG's music study brings fourth a wondrously bizarre, and enigmatic amalgamation of styles and influences. The artists present here really shine with their unique and mystifying musical experimentation. From a mix of traditional African musical influences, Islamic musical practices, and some just outright otherworldly and highly imaginative compositions Anthology of contemporary music from Africa continent is another USG survey gem, and a must have compilation album.
