Max Alper's second full-length album, Stop, is now available through Sordo Recordings. It features structured improvistations by Max and guests, with particular focus on the piano. It can be downloaded as a 46MB RAR archive.
Also, AIR IN KYOTO's recent release, "Take Heart, Blind Beast" E.P., has received a favourable review by Bennett's Blog: "...this is gloomy, almost apocalyptic stuff, the fuzzy electric layers underminded by the fragility of the acoustic, and is ultimately refreshing in a time where ‘noise’ most often means a sonic barrage."

AIR IN KYOTO's "Take Heart, Blind Beast" E.P. breaks the drought of no recent Sordo releases. It may be only 12 minutes in length, but in that short time, fractured soundscapes and the occasional glitches are brought to life around somber acoustic riffs, resulting in two layered yet minimalist tracks.

It seems that the Sordo Recordings releases have at least caught the attention of a few people. Some favourable reviews have been made on a couple of the albums...
Soul of the Phoenix's Release the Drones received a 4/5 review [PDF, see page 12] from Ireland's Connected Magazine. Compare this to the 0/5 rating that Coldplay's new album received in the same issue...
Also, emFrik's Respite has been reviewed in the blogs Some Kind of Kink and Grindthieves, being described as a "musical storm" and a "diamond of tasty audio delights," respectively.
If you find any more reviews, please tell me!
