Folding Space

Iron Fist Of The Sun "Behavioural Decline" CD [2009]
There's not a lot on offer here, to be honest. Most of it is boring and uninteresting. We are treated to the usual Power Electronics fare - slow, low-key drones accompanied by the traditional beeps and squeals, accentuated on some tracks by the standard "shout the lyric over and over again" vocal. Not a lot to be excited about here.

Cages "Folding Space" CD [2009]
What in the living fuck is this?? And I mean that in a good way. Cold Spring have released something special here. What dominates the disc is the wild, wailing female vocalist, accompanied by a variety of different sounds. From ambient drones, to looped choir-like voices, to acoustic guitar which turns into manic electric guitar; this release offers up more than you expect. There's even a bluesy rock track in here. Complete awesomeness; a real gem.
