Peltiform :: Like Phantoms (Section 27)
Their previous album—FUTURISM (Section 27, 2022—was billed as “exploring the farthest reaches of sandblasted electronics,” and Like Phantoms is a smooth progression forward. Despite being “underground” since 2009, Section 27’s releases consistently push IDM and experimental electronic boundaries, inching closer and closer to the surface.
Daed :: Simulcracy (Concrete Collage)
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.
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.
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.
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.
