Aidan Baker :: Tense Surfaces — Remastered (Panospria)
Tense Surfaces is an active departure from the glacial movement of Baker’s earlier work that I am familiar with and is a very delightful surprise.

Standalone release of Alva Noto’s score to This Stolen Country of Mine, Marc Wiese’s award-winning film which explores the issue of state sovereignty in the face of predatory foreign power.
Johan Agebjörn :: Subtracted Soundscapes (Spotted Peccary)

The album is a surplus of saturated sonic surprises nestled carefully between atmospheric elements and delicately woven electronics…
V/A :: Tomb of Primordials (Cryo Chamber)
The temple here is made of plano-convex mudbrick, not fixed with mortar or cement, so that the spirits of the dead (etimmu) can seek absolution for their unknown sins, or find resolution of the idea that one can transgress a divine prohibition without knowing it.
