Cult48 :: Underground Signals From An Unknown Place (Self Released)
To not only emulate with such accuracy the pads and warm-feelings of Scotland’s well-loved duo, to be able to accentuate and highlight in a truly modern fashion without detracting from the feelings, is a feat in itself.
Owen Vince :: Old Sympathy (Slow Dance)
There’s some excellent electronic work throughout—real deep and crunchy sounds sit comfortably against the broken-up ambient backdrops.
