Order & Disorder brings together twenty pieces of contemporary classical music. Flickering machine sounds sit between rich and textured piano sounds. But that would be […]

214 :: North Bend (Shipwrec)
Rich, dark, bright, textured and a cracking record. In all music there are certain names that shine brighter. Some artists grab the headlines. This position […]
Concretism :: Town Planning (Self-Released)
Town Planning is neo-brutalism under a constantly anthracite sky. It is conceptual art celebrating its greyness, its standardization and the strange pull it exercises on […]
“Something wicked this way comes…” :: Occult Research
More and more labels are turning to tapes. I remember my initial reaction: “Why?” Price being the obvious reason. But, the return to cassettes has […]
Fis :: The Blue Quicksand Is Going Now (Loopy)

WC00160 & Abono :: Untitled EP (ALLISANDNOT)
Deep machine music with just the right balance of bite and bloom. Styles coming together, forming, shaping and gelling into a wonderfully familiar difference. A […]

Sneaker :: Holistical (Lunatic)
Lilting harmonies frayed by tough toms and snapping snares, a diverted dancefloor for the unsure and the insecure. It’s always a sickener when someone steals […]
Chris Weeks :: Black Hole (Odd John)
A beautifully sculpted deep ambient album which explores the mechanism of dreams in a quite Bachelardian, intuitively poetical mood. Offered as a beautiful limited CD […]
Marconi Union :: Departures EP (Chemical Tapes)
Cunningly camouflaged by new luminous skin and armed with a different approach, MU manages to effortlessly generate its addictive idiosyncratic spell once again. Richard Talbot, […]
