The March release for Vuzh Music is by fellow Colorado resident Jeff Sampson. “Swarm” is a long-form single track of dark and brooding atmospherics.

The tenth iteration of the Dystimbria saga appears in the form of “Swamp Monsters, Secret Prisons” by Chicago artist Cinchel.
–
The method of Dystimbria production involves re-use of previously released tracks as sound source material for new tracks, and Cinchel takes a bit from each of the nine tracks already released to produce a brief and dramatic piece of organized sound.

Two new tracks have just gone live at Dystimbria, the new netlabel devoted to a continually evolving community discussion in sound of the grey areas between noise and ambient.
–
The two new tracks are really heavy and incredibly good. These are some of my favorite entries yet! Don’t miss them.
–
Dystimbria #8 – Mutant Beatnik’s “Rainbow Vomitorium” is a constantly evolving composition of entrancing and exciting textures and noises. Incredible. This will take the top of your head clean off.
–
Dystimbria #9 – Post-Avantist’s “Vasiform Rima” is a slow-burning, slow-churning piece of quasi-doom-metal DROOOOOOOONNNNNNEEE. Grrrruuuuhhhh!!!!

Terry Burke was my first contact in the hometaper underground, and therefore his first self-titled tape from his project Histatic Charge was the first tape I ever heard from this previously unknown music world. It was recorded in 1989
