Reviews
Toh Imago :: Refuge (InFiné)
Across the album, Toh Imago finds inventive ways of opening a dialogue between nature and machine, both literally and metaphorically, creating a soundscape that both feels like and was created by the natural world…
Fortresses :: Near (Dragon’s Eye)
Such a powerful ambient excursion dips and dives through the unknown and offers a captivating treasure-trove we should all experience.
The Fellow Passenger :: Book of Needlecraft (Point Source Electronic Arts)
While the theme on Book of Needlecraft, and its track titles, are centered around embroidery and needlepoint, the vast electrical tapestry stitched together on this proverbial audio quilt is subtle and warm.
Ossa :: Exit Language Translator (Schematic Music Co.)
Exit Language Translator finds itself standing alone as a beacon for others to locate; its mysterious yet cleverly soft distortions and vintage soundscapes are both surreal and serendipitous.
zakè & ossa :: syntheticopia (zakè drone)
Meanwhile, back in the chilly vastness of space, through the cosmic field recordings and analog electronics is felt the beating heart of the human, as syntheticopia continues to hum with hushed hymnals for stargazing souls.
Solypsis :: Crisis Fatigue (Chthonic Streams)
A baffling collection of ultra-wide bass, beats, and crunchy slow-motion rhythms.
Soul Oddity :: Tone Capsule (Reissue) (Control Freak)
As the genres continue to meld and diversify when artists interpreted with their own dialect attached, in retrospect, Tone Capsule certainly sits itself in the center of the broad strokes in USA/UK (friendly) rivalry.
