And like a dream, or the waking dream of creative action and inspiration, the flow state of this album passes by with temporal swiftness. Caught up in the eddies and swirls we are soon down the stream of consciousness and into a calm clear pool.

Negativland :: Speech Free (Seeland)
Multitasking has ruined listening to albums at home in the woods. But this album can restore that experience. It is just as good to listen to in complete darkness, late at night, as an episode of Over the Edge. I hope to experience further instrumental excursions from the band, now that they have decided to shut up and play their instruments.
V/A :: Imaginary North Transmission 009 (Imaginary North)
Transmission 009 achieves a striking unity of sound across all of its thirteen tracks. This could even all be the work of one artist, but it’s not. While there are differences, the commonalities between these musicians flow together in sequence to create a lush tapestry.
Philippe Blache (Day Before Us) :: Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis (Conjvre the Circle)
Esoteric vibrations of ritualistic frequencies shroud these songs in a wildcrafted incense of dark terroir.
Inquiri x bvdub :: A Life In Setting Suns (Past Inside The Present)
The album title of this duet of paired longform tracks from Inquiri and bvdub is perfect for the Past Inside the Present label. What is our past, but a life in setting suns? And what is our present but the hope for more sunsets and sunrises.

Shrimpnose :: The World Pushed Against You (Nettwerk)
The World Pushed Against You, is a fecund fusion of sounds ready to ignite febrile synapses inside the brain in an album that is easy to stay glued to from start to finish.
John Cage / Aaron Dilloway :: Rozart Mix (Hanson)
Radio and musique concrète go together like bread and butter. As a medium, radio is the perfect platform for playing tape that has been spliced, diced, smothered, covered, layered, reordered, disordered, composed, decomposed and recomposed. That’s what has happened here with a new version of a mid-sixties John Cage composition, Rozart Mix.
