Geiger von Müller – Alien Fig Yogurt Incident
Geiger von Müller
“Alien Fig Yogurt Incident”
It takes all of a second to realise that, in terms of guitar instrumentals, Geiger Von Müller’s ‘Alien Fig Yogurt Incident’ isn’t entirely of this world. It opens with a flurry of insanely high pitched harmonics, creating more of a mood than a melody. This immediately catches the ear, but makes the listener wonder where things are actually headed. A saner guitarist might flesh out such a technique with a couple of broad chords to make things palatable, but not this guy…
Müller then adds extra texture by offering a slide note that’s more akin to a quick interjection from a swanee whistle, then drops into a semi-atonal descending melody that uses the slide to add Hawaiian influences. There’s a melody growing, but again, it’s not from your typical school of guitar based instrumentals.

Chang diz
“UNFAIR]”
UNFAIR, is a sonic journey that breaks boundaries, blending elements of electronica, ambient and lo-fi into an immersive experience.
The project captures the essence of modern otaku culture, where digital and physical realities merge. While each track is a sonic landscape that feels both futuristic and nostalgic, they are quite similar, taking the listener on a journey through their most vivid thoughts and memories.
The invitation is extended to explore the fantastic world of Chang Diz.
Makunouchi Bento – Saloane SCRUM
Makunouchi Bento
“Saloane SCRUM”
Beneath a ceiling of mechanical quince leather,
children shatter time into triangular shards,
hurling it into the Pestmas tree-
a machine of vegetal organs,
where ornaments weep soft knives.
The fire begins to speak foreign tongues,
a dialect of square ash.
Branches twist into blue tentacles,
wrapping the air like a poisoned ribbon.
The children laugh with TV-bricked eyes,
tossing ice dolls into the orange vortex.
“What does fire taste like?” asks the smallest one,
while a cellophane specter
willingly casts its wings into the imaginary pan.
The smoke devours itself, a loop of hunger,
and on the floor, shadows start feasting on the walls.
The children become the memory of shredded paper,
circling above their incandescent supper.
The fire whispers freshly flavored tales,
and they reply in chorus, without harmony,
embraced by a Celebration seen by no one.
In the end, only ash.
A hoary ocean, calm as a broken mirror,
where the children dive together
to fish out a great cup of kites.
~
Saloane SCRUM
Sub tavanul din piele de gutuie mecanică,
copiii sparg timpul în bucăți triunghiulare,
îl aruncă în bradul de Crăciumă-
o mașinărie de organe vegetale,
din care globurile plâng cuțite moi.
Focul începe să vorbească limbi străine,
un dialect al scrumului pătrat.
Ramurile devin tentacule albastre,
înfășurând aerul ca o panglică otrăvită.
Copiii râd cu ochii tele-zidiți,
aruncând păpuși de gheață în vârtejul portocaliu.
“Ce gust are focul?” întreabă cel mai mic,
în timp ce un spectru de celofan
își aruncă de bună voie aripile în tigaia imaginară.
Fumul se înghite pe sine, o buclă a foamei,
iar pe podea, umbrele încep să mănânce din pereți.
Copiii devin memorie de hârtie forfecată,
zboară în cercuri peste cina lor incandescentă.
Focul le șoptește povești nou aromatizate,
iar ei răspund în cor, fără armonie,
îmbrățișați de o Sărbătoare pe care nimeni nu o vede.
La final, doar scrum.
Un ocean gri, calm ca o oglindă spartă,
în care copiii se aruncă să-și caute împreună
o cană mare de zmee.
SkyTwoHigh – Ghost Stories III – Arrival
SkyTwoHigh
“Ghost Stories III – Arrival”
Not to love me, but to take my life.
I thought we had something special,
And I loved you the whole time.
Sometimes my anger came through me,
Maybe I hurt you too much.
But this is not my fault—
The Devil did this to me.
No, don’t arrive.
It was a mistake searching for you.
Please, don’t take my life away.
Please…
Oh, please…
Finally, the third part of the Ghost Stories album is complete.
As I mentioned before, this chapter dives deeper into ritual sounds, and I pushed myself to get the most out of this sonic journey.
I didn’t want to stick to the usual ritual soundscapes, so I experimented—mixing things up with some Techno kicks and Jungle break samples.
The story is slowly reaching its climax, and the next album will be pure darkness, with a touch of discomfort.
But it has to be that way. You can already catch a glimpse of it in the final tracks of this release.
I’ve been going through some stressful times lately, and this sound feels like a perfect reflection of my current mood.
Thank you for your patience— it took some time to achieve the exact sound I envisioned for Part III.
Enjoy,

“Unearthly Music for Aliens Tribes”
Live improvisation recorded in April 2024 at the Cave Heaven in Foucherans.
Be aware that this Unidentified Audio Phenomena includes real cosmic rays inside (I can’t tell what will happens if your soul stays too much longer exposed).
As well as an extanded critics of the penal colonies from the Katorga to the Laogai. It’s quite amazing that there is still no boycott of all china products till the release of the Uighurs. But is it that much surprising in a world where palestinians are killed in mass for the great profit of the weapon sellers. Also when the workers seem free but don’t earn the real price of their work because the corporations suck it, it may not be that much better. Don’t you think so ?
Dedicated to all the exploited prisoners who create the insane wealth of the world’s rulers.
Don’t be mystified, the artwork is not a photography, but a hybridization of Artificial Intelligence generated images with an editing software. I could use the photography of the Tesla Wardcliff tower instead, but I wanted to show the Siberia trees. This kind of cosmic keyhole is the free energy symbol but also a question mark about what happen in Tunguska, under the funny angle of view of the french serie Ovni(s).
No pink flamingos were harmed in the making of track 6.

Joan Lavandeira – Pain recordings
Joan Lavandeira
“Pain recordings”
“Pain recordings” is a complex sound collage that delves into the fragments of memory emerging from personal relationships. Blending electronica, industrial, drone, noise, and bass music, the album offers an abstract and evocative experience, where traces of human connections manifest in structured forms.
This double album plays with the abbreviations M. and J., drawing from Robert Smith’s approach in the track “M” from “Seventeen Seconds”. The song references Albert Camus’ novel “La Mort Heureuse”, where the character Patrice Mersault feels jealous of his girlfriend Marthe’s other lovers, beginning with the phrase Hello image.
The album’s focus is not on raw emotion but rather on the ways memories—fuzzy, distorted, and at times disorienting—filter into consciousness. Each track acts as an autonomous yet interconnected fragment, reconstructing the vestiges of human interactions. Industrial landscapes, deep basslines, and the raw textures of noise create an unsettling atmosphere, where sounds echo past moments, reconstructed and deconstructed in a sonic quest for meaning through drone.
The music of “Pain recordings” embraces a fragmented sonic aesthetic, in which rhythms and melodies emerge and disappear like memories dissolving over time. It’s a work that captures the incomplete and fleeting nature of memory, offering an experience that is as challenging as it is hypnotic. Listeners are invited to navigate these passages of broken sounds and saturated textures, finding their own interpretations in what lingers between the sounds.
Rather than presenting a linear narrative, the album unfolds as a mosaic of sounds that invite reflection on the fragility of memory and how past events are reconstructed in fragmented ways in our minds. “Pain recordings” is, ultimately, an experimental sonic exercise, where relationships and memories become raw material for an exploration that feels as cerebral as it is emotional.

Ryo Kawawada – Paludarium
Ryo Kawawada
“Paludarium”
We have another debut on MiMi Records. Japanese artist Ryo Kawawada brings us “Paludarium”, an ambient and introspective album that blends the softness of acoustic guitar with natural sounds, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
Kawawada uses the guitar delicately, creating subtle sonic layers that evoke images of peaceful landscapes, like a walk through a swamp. The album conveys a sense of calm, yet maintains a slight tension, inviting deep listening.
With a minimalist approach, “Paludarium” is a work that celebrates the connection with nature and the ability of music to create hypnotic and evocative soundscapes.
Mantris – I’m So Many People
Mantris
“I’m So Many People”
Released December 14, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.
It has been almost 30 years since Mantris shared music with the world. Together with Christoph Waelkens he was the driving force behind house outfits The Black Sun and Brown Hardware Inc. Their creative connection led to three consecutive releases in 1992 on cult label Elektron. A productive music career was forecasted, but Mantris vanished into thin air. Until early 2020…
I’m So Many People, his ambient masterpiece debut on Mahorka, encapsulates the idea that we all play various roles throughout our lives. A journey unfolds from darkness to hope. Compared to his earlier albums, this one is even more focused on sound progression, fused with melodies and chords. Anatoly ‘Tokee’ Grinberg has done an excellent job of comprehending and mastering this music to bring out the full range of the sounds generated.
“The album’s journey mirrors our own, from the masks we wear to the ultimate acceptance of our true selves. The journey to the deity is a personal one, and not everyone may complete it.”
Composed and produced by Mantris
Mastering by Anatoly Grinberg

Various – Aural Vault: Chapter One
Various
“Aural Vault: Chapter One”
In October 2023, a number of artists submitted tracks for a compilation project intended to serve as a time capsule, set to release exactly a year later. While some artists drew connections between their work from the 1980s and the present day, others included messages aimed at the future, meant to be read in 2024. This project served as an exploration of timelessness, with each artist’s perspective on their work being deeply personal and not easily shared with the outside world. Their inspirations varied — some drew hope from the past, while others tackled their fears. For a few, it turned into an exercise in nihilism, as they stripped their work of all meaning to reflect their views on the world, offering a glimpse into their personalities. And, others expressed a desire for drastic changes to make the world safer.

D-Fried – Images sur la mer
D-Fried
“Images sur la mer”
Boarding the flying ship, which is also a submarine.
Breathe in the molecules that tell stories.
Adventure stories of places beyond the known.
Jordi Saludes alias D-Fried has moved to a city by the sea and studies the waves and nature there, sitting right in front of the ocean when he produces music. One result is the album “Images sur la mer”, the images of the sea, an album that stimulates the imagination, a journey through soul and spirit.
Like with D-Fried’s first release on Phonocake, this release is presented with an amazing contemporary digitally version of an artwork by Buna. It is about the idea, that everything is connected and this idea reflects in oceans especially, since the oceans connect all the continents on our precious planet.
