Consisting of seven short, crisp slices that mesh well together in an amalgam of fractured and frantic electronics, Simulcracy is a definitive reference point for the expansive Concrete Collage catalog.

Richard Chartier :: On Leaving (Touch)
On Leaving contains a set of vintage variances, soothing drone tracks that are in ways abstract yet deceptively organic in nature. Minimal composition together with low pitches and recursive sets of sound contribute to this soothing effect.
Stormy Acres :: Phantom Detractor (Not Yet Remembered)
These are undoubtedly dark ambient veils woven by a dedicated sonic detailer. All in all, a pulsating, abstract, and translucent album.
Dodds Phil :: Many Moons Ago (Waxing Crescent)
Brittle electrical fields of sound that explore futuristic sculptures jump between breaks, downtempo, funk, dub, roughened techno, and magnetized hip-hop.
Dave Seidel :: Homage to Hennix (The Electric Harpsichord reinterpreted) (Self Released)
It is good to hear another contribution to the genre from Dave Seidel, whose homage is a masterpiece in its own right. That’s no surprise considering how as a musician, he continues to stay true and in tune with his own musical vision, all while extending the techniques of the masters who went before him.
Hanetration :: Resonator EP (Self Released)
Resonator by Cornwall, UK-based Hanetration, a five-piece collection of carefully woven ambient psychedelic electronics and intermittent downtempo, is back after a protracted hiatus.
The Legendary Pink Dots :: Traumstadt 2 (Klanggalerie)
Perhaps yes, these are tracks from the dark 1980s, the apocalyptic Cold War mutual assured destruction never far away, but its musicality is hard to resist. I think I’m in for some further exploration of the Dotted realm.
Steve Hadfield :: Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer 0-1 – The Game of the Century (1956), Generative Chess Music (Disintegration State)
Overall, Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer is a great release and very worth listening to. It is smart, entrancing, transcendent, glitchy, and reminds me more than a little bit of the great works of Brian Eno.
RamonPang :: Life Cycle Waves (The Tabula Rasa Record Company)
Even if the album as a whole isn’t trying to make all of these different styles work together, RamonPang seems to be able to achieve something interesting with all of them, as despite some harsh contrasts in the tracklist, all the tracks eventually manage to pull me in and make me accustomed to their new sound.
ILUITEQ + Lorenzo Montanà :: Katà Métron (n5MD)
Katà Métron skillfully develops and reinforces the suggested objective of “living in harmony with oneself and nature,” a powerfully serene soundtrack we should all take notice of, and a surrounding sonic highlight for 2024.
Marewrew :: Ukouk. Round Singing Voices of the Ainu 2012-2024 (Pingipung)
The spiritual joy that the human voice, in whatever language this is, is very attractive. This is a mystical sound, I think it works really well in a mix of tracks, to shift context and take our constantly listening ears into a whole new direction using just the human voice.
