The whole of The Phenol Tapes is a deep journey into the interior of Scanner’s creative mind as well as the lands of Captiva Island and comes highly recommended.

David Birchall, Kate Carr and Tullis Rennie :: Zippered Time, Winged Dialogue (Flaming Pines)
A homogenous and well orchestrated performance, making every musician involved a fundamental component, as each adds their own little piece to form a bigger, more satisfying puzzle.
Francis Gri & Toàn :: Le tissage des rêves (Self Released)
Beautifully soothing, diaphanous, and inviting. This album can seduce anyone into touchingly evocative soundscapes for lonesome moments in introspection.
Fortresses :: Are EP (Dragon’s Eye)
A very creative composer who isn’t afraid to delve into the strands of the past and present, threading surreal, evocative, and emotionally charged aural pathways that we will continue to revisit.
Tam Lin :: bluelightnospaceflattime (Flaming Pines)
Some sort of obscure, magical ritual this is; surely an engaging one, as this Tam Lin LP tries to immediately hypnotize you as it begins. It does succeed, indeed, as you’ll likely be asking yourself what is happening throughout the entire album.
Broken Chip :: The Quiet Garden (Self Released)
Capturing light sources to create calm atmospheres, the featured compositions are as nostalgic as they are contemporary and offer quiet tidbits for a wonderful diversion.
Matthew Florianz a.k.a. Liquid Morphine :: niemandsland (Remastered) (Self Released)
This new version of niemandsland has ten titles, with alternate versions for a total of seventeen tracks. This is a twenty year old ambient recording revisited using modern tools, the original version was self-released in 2006.
V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)
These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.
