neotropic's unpredictably ranging "my head may be small but my heart is bigger than yours" provides interesting listening from the all-too-rare female electronics perspective, courtesy of the UK's Riz Maslen.
Tuneful tweedles and blips converge with drones and drums in "ardeonaig", one of bovine life's four offerings. Another, "cabin Fever" (1:25) is more hyperactive and less controlled, spastic tinkles spatter across low buzzes. The three tracks from Australia's pimmon tend toward complex (almost cacophonous) clusters of disparate sounds, like the sweltering blur of hisses, pops, buried music and other inidentifiable patterns of "twilled".
From France, zonk't delivers one lengthy piece of very electronic explorations... with a slightly spooky mood, "Artificially amplified raindrop deepest thought for sale" (14:13) moves from vague meanderings into rhythmic pulsations and bass-driven e-drums, followed by prolonged expanses of moody beatronics.
Japan's atau tanaka delves into a thumping cloudswell with enticingly mysterious "bondage_2".
Swirling and soaring, rough-through-sweet tonal layers warp and waver above the cool percussion of "n & r theme" from Russian artist novel 23. Sweeping "leia's charm" closes the comp on his prettily peppy synth stylings.
