Einóma (Vertical Form, Uni:Form - ICELAND)
Einóma is a collaboration between two Icelandic friends and studio partners, Bjarni and Steindór. Prior to the genesis of Einóma and their intriguing, mysterious strain of experimental electronica, Bjarni and Steindór initially collaborated on short films, writing scripts and playing with sound and camera techniques. As Bjarni and Steindor's interest in film diminished, the duo began composing their own recordings somewhere between the experimental electronic music, that they say they had been listening to and the ambience that they had hoped to attain with their short films. The first year, almost everything they wrote was without beats - ambient pieces with a lot of vocal samples and distorted sounds.
Einoma's subsequent experiments with rhythm prompted the release of their debut EP, Floating Point By Zero, via the frequently intriguing Icelandic label Uni:form.
A year later the pair singed to Vertical Form and released their debut album the same year. Undir feilnótum was a deeply atmospheric album, incorporating eight tracks and clocking in at 38 mins in length. Each cut firmly demonstrated their obsessive skill for programming, intricate sequencing and rhythmic construction providing a body of work consisting of varying themes, moods and tempo's.
After having spent months meticulously sculpting new tracks, Milli Tónverka was released. The album´s title roughly translates to "Music that lies in-between" and indeed, Einóma does reach into the firmament and pull from their electronic husksan essence and soul of great weight and darkness. This is music created with the heart of high technology and the soul of a spirit world not usually seen with human eyes. The albums nine tracks collectively characterize Einóma´s music as severe, majestic, glacial, and unsettling.
Einóma is currently working on a new album.

Christ. (Benbecula; Ex-Boards of Canada - UK)
From an early age Christ. has been a musician. His supposed collaborations in his formative years at school and early 20s are well documented, suffice to say that at the current point in time, determining the original source of cross-pollinated styles is futile. Since his first solo release proper in 2002, he has proved to be as individual and creative as the next guy, forging a unique path of musical beauty that escapes derivation.
Can much more be said? What's the point. Christ.'s expert layers of melody, broken beats and textures say pretty much everything, and along with his popularity as a formidable live act, he is a rare breed indeed. Christ's tracks were regularly featured on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 Show.

Exclusive CD-presentation - Andrew Liles - Ouarda (The Subtle Art Of Phyllorhodomancy) to be released on Raash Records (US) march 2007
The art of the sound collage and drone music has a group of key members: Mirror, Christoph Heemann, Andrew Chalk, William Basinski, and perhaps just a few more are known and loved and create music that invokes images from other worlds; be those images frightening, sublime, or esoteric, it is impossible to deny their visceral impact. Andrew Liles has been added to that list of elusive and wonderful musicians.... He has been recording since the mid 80's and has worked with many artists including Colin Potter, Bass Communion, Steven Stapleton, Darren Tate, The Hafler Trio, Daniel Padden, Karl Blake, Unsong, Band of Pain, Lord Bath, John Murphy, Sion Orgon, Andrew King, Scribble 7, Kenji Siratori, Nick Mott, Paul Bradley, Aaron Moore, Nigel Ayers, Irr. App (Ext), Jonathan Coleclough, Tony Wakeford, Frans De Waard, Freek Kinkelaar, Nurse With Wound, Maja Elliott, Joolie Wood, Danielle Dax, Rose McDowall, Edward Ka-spel, Vidna Obmana and Ruse. His music, which both eclectic and diverse is often minimalist, surrealistic, experimental and hypnotic, and attempts to transcend any noticeable style or clique.
