In this luminous auditory foray, vintage electronic machines breathe new life as they intertwine and disintegrate into shimmering fragments of tone and texture.
Reviews
2View — Sons of Melancholia :: Hyperliquid, Spectrical :: Among Lunar Glaciers (Perceptual Tapes)
These two works showcase the range and ambition of Perceptual Tapes. Hyperliquid journeys inward, guided by memory, solitude, and stillness; Among Lunar Glaciers voyages outward, imagining alien topographies in shimmering, distorted detail.
Renku Corporation :: Procedural Nuance (Noided Media)
Procedural Nuance hums with a cryptic vitality: glitch-funk pulses flicker beneath its concrete skin, while corrosive acid seeps from its fractured seams, an alchemical blend of decay and drive.
Alessandro Sgarito :: Appartenenza (Shady Ridge)
Appartenenza is an album that doesn’t try to explain itself, it invites you to live within it. It doesn’t demand your attention, but earns it with the quiet confidence of someone who knows that true beauty never announces itself.
BASTARD :: BASTARD.NFO EP (Renraku) — [concise]
Relentless, inventive, and impossible to ignore—this is electronic music at its most unrestrained. No pause, no breath—only forward motion and beautifully wrecked.
James Shinra :: Meteorites (Analogical Force)
Meteorites isn’t just a succinct collection—it’s a sandblasted, sonic odyssey, a landmark release for 2025 that captures the essence of abstract electronic music at its most compelling and immersive.
James Krivchenia :: Performing Belief (Planet Mu)
James Krivchenia fuses acoustic drums and a rich array of percussion with electronic textures, all anchored by deep basslines courtesy of Sam Wilkes and Joshua Abrams—each track features at least one of them, except for the opener.
Brian Eno & Bette A. :: What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory (Faber Books)
Faber proudly announces What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory, Brian Eno’s first new book in twenty-nine years, written in collaboration with Dutch artist and novelist Bette Adriaanse.
SО̄ON :: Actions Made Audible (Electronic Sound)
It’s a meditation within a meditation, nested inside a larger invocation that defines the essence of Actions Made Audible—a work that firmly places itself within the Berlin School of music. Precision-engineered machinery with analog Mellotron tape loops feature layered structures, ambient textures, and an introspective flow.
Philippe Petit :: Closing Our Eyes (Crónica)
At its core, Closing Our Eyes is an acoustic transformation through electronics—organic sound is deconstructed, reshaped, and reanimated into something beautifully unclassifiable.
Kate Carr :: Rubber Band Music (Flaming Pines)
Done literally with everyday objects you could find in anyone’s garage, Kate Carr’s Rubber Band Music exploits the various pitches and timbres you can obtain from rubber to then manipulate them via electronic means.
