On Passing Signals, the Newcastle based musician’s ability to craft rich and textured works using contrasting and sparse sounds is plain to hear. A top record from an artist who is rightly being noticed and will only continue to be so.

V/A :: Leekmatic LKMTC 22 (Schematic / Leek)
Solidifying their stamp on experimental soundscapes and shifting panoramas through the hands of unique sound sculptors, Leekmatic is a baffling assortment.

Compiling all new mixes of Sonogram’s ‘quieter moments,’ Compendium makes for a subtly deep low-light listen.
Jonathan Scherk :: Toon! (Faitiche)
Abruptly formed collages can sometimes have problems with explosive rebar into a buzz-saw like changes in volume levels from sample to sample, here the flow is almost perfect, the content is certainly strange but the volume levels are very smooth.
