Kind of delayed response here...
Neferiu Records has just officially released their first compilation cd, the
Neferiu Sampler. Truly something to check out if your interested in some
fresher idm stuff, but are courageous enought to venture into some other
styles as well. The disk features some fine idm stuff from Lackluster
(HALOAW), and from Frank And Bill (asfaw). It also stands host to two of the
most aspiring prospects for future idm amazement, a duo known as ilkae.
Aside from the idm stuff, you got Lukas (mortimer twang) Nystrand on funky
house, Krii on the jazzy junglistics, and Willbe on the grooves of
late-night lounge trip hop.
Perhaps something to check out, as its official release date was the 26th of
September. At www.neferiu.com you can hear real audio samples of all the
tracks on the Neferiu Sampler, plus the site is, for a limited time,
offering a few tracks as high quality mp3 downloads one at a time. Right
now, you've probably got about a day or so to grab Willbe's track, and the
Ilkae track is going up next..
If you're interested in ordering the disc, its available at www.hmv.com , or
there's mailorder instructions on the web site.
Neferiu Records will also be hosting Salice's new ambient/idm self titled
album in the future, as well as an up and coming emotional excursion with
Sense. Hope this ends your search.

Subject: [idm] Lack of good new releases in idm/elm
I've been really disappointed with my recent purchases. Well, not THAT
disappointed, but a lot of them have only been listened to once or twice cuz
that's all they're worth. And I bought most of them because of hype on this
list. Here's the ones I'm speaking specifically of:
- fizzarum - rinsing (mp3.com release)
- funkstorung - appetite (cheap, distasteful vocals maim an otherwise good
album)
- a guy called gerald - essence
- kid606 - down with the scene
- lexaunculpt - double density (who do we love)
- pole 3 (not terrible, but disappointing conisdering the reviews)
- staedtizism (~scape compilation - well, this one's ok actually)
- fax cat. from emusic (only a few good releases, tetsu inoue's ambiant
otaku being the only excellent one)
- schematic cat. (everything is bad except for the devine ep and the
compilations)
I think my last truly exceptional purchase was ovalprocess, lackluster's
container is a close second. Anyway, this is discouraging because I know
that good idm is being released; I just don't know where to find it anymore
apparently. So could anyone point me in the right direction?

P.S. Recommendations not limited to idm (any good ambient albums released
lately? dub?)
