Merchants Of Air founder and writer Serge is also the founder and sole member of dark ambient project Misantronics.  Today he released a brand new album, named Iwo Kupenga.  This harsh ambient album is a step back toward his noise-roots while still staying loyal to his typical soundscapes and drones.  Anyway, I don't have to write a review for this one.  Would be a bit stupid, no?  (although I do like it)
The album is available on bandcamp and you can also order a CDR or even a tape.  Both CD and tape come with an unreleased bonus track.
