Just picked this up and wanted to make sure it got some attention.  If you
see it make sure to give it a listen. 

Blue nightwork <iris light>


This release proves to be an evolution of the sound that blue fist
explored in Mexican church.  The dubby elements of resistance are still
present but they are much more subtle.  Here the listener is introduced to
a chilling cinematic journey through the darkest of landscapes.  This
journey is speckled throughout with driving beats composed in the
downtempo and jungle vein.   However, Blue twists these rhythms into
something sinister and creeping.   The end result is the creation of  a
perfect soundtrack for an H.P. Lovecraft story.   For those that must
classify, file this under ambient even though beats are employed.
Lastly, this album at times reminds me of the more melodic musings of coil
and as such, fans of coil should take note.
