“The two tracks in this release represent a collaborative project by Line Noise and Algo Rythem, and they are titled ‘Deadwine Marquekon’ and ‘Aqua Elevation’. The prevalent feel across Deadwine Marquekon is of an ear-glitching guitar introduction, which then moves into a breakbeat industrial-like feel across the rest of the track.
In Aqua Elevation the style across the track dwells in a breakbeat-oriented fashion for most of the track, and is then coated with a few effects scattered throghout. Both of these tracks are similar in that they dwell mostly in the dark upbeat realm, and evoke rhythmic head nodding motions.”

“Finally starts the new sub-label or series named Nevskia (another biobacteria) which will release extemporaneousness some selected works of dark/gothic/ funeral black/agressive/industrial metal!
This series start with a great italian one man band act: HELIAN!
The Helian plan represents a vent channel in order to describe the chronic sadness that pervade every single day of the life, through the long depressive melodies of the guitars Danny has tried to give shape and sound to his feelings…
‘Sad city’ sounds as a little introspective journey in a sad grey mourning day which assist the (re)awakining of the sad city… the city which its dark palaces eats the light of the world. Four tracks between the guitars elements of Katatonia, the sadness of Anathema, the slow rhytm of Opeth and My Dying Bride with some Massive Attack influences!!!!!!”

- hypnosis “dark and moody ambience leading into arpeggio driven melodies, swirling around your ears. a fitting mood setter for the rest of the ep.”
- weird view “ambient masterpiece - not just ‘noise’ but progressively building up to an epic track. continuation of the previous. very nice indeed.”
- wisdom “the first beat driven track of the ep. nicely produced ethnic style track mixed with elements of the east and west.”
- still breathing “back into the darkness, heavy bass and subtle beats. interesting reversed lead.”
- earths heart “another in a similar vein to the previous berestez released, more upbeat but with an autechre release. the berestez pads make an appearance creating a deep atmosphere that the rest of the track purely complements. watch out for the evolving pads at the end; spine tingeling. an excellent track through and through.”
- khali “curious ‘analogue retro’ influenced track; could quite easily be from the late 80’s, with elements of classic techno and instrumental artists such as air. an interesting combination.”
- zombie nation “probably the hardest track of the ep - very ‘in your face’ with an ambient edge. Kind of like the prodigy meets Vangelis. a curious fusion.”
- tornado “beat driven but not so in your face. this track has an attitude but more easy listening as the previous. those reversed melodies make a comeback but a nice track indeed.”
- voices “suitably atmospheric track; taking the repetative nuances of zombie nation and mixing it with the ambience created in weird view. a cool track through and through.”
- s.o.s “the arpeggios return but this time with a progressively building arpeggio. this is one designed to get the blood pumping. one of my favorites.”
- hundred miles “my personal favorite from the ep. the reversed leads make yet another appearance but this time the overall picture the track creates is more ‘idm and underground’ rather than subtley mainstream. a classy track. I like.”
