General Magic :: Nein Aber Ja (GOTO)
Combining field recordings, distorted electrical pulses, punctuated non-linear rhythms, and found sounds to create an oddly surreal mixture.
Life As Sleep :: Don’t Do Anything (Schematic)
Featuring raw/minimal electro and a smattering of old-school breaks, bass, dub, and technoid patterns…
Tatamax :: Fairy Glen Appearances (20 Year Digital Edition) (Skam)
Twenty years later, Fairy Glen Appearances, which was first made available on skassette02 in 2003, is now available digitally through Skam.
Precenphix :: Husks of War (Not Yet Remembered)
Constructed as a vessel that allows curiously enticing post-ambient/noise and crumpled industrial landscapes to expand and contract, Precenphix tugs at the listeners heartstrings with this otherworldly album.
NULLPTR :: Recursor (Central Processing Unit)
Eddie Symons’ Recursor EP was released in October 2023, and his NULLPTR moniker maintains its rhythmic electro momentum.
J-LOWER :: 90 Seconds To Midnight (EC Underground)
A track-by-track synopsis of J-LOWER’s 90 Seconds To Midnight — “…like temporal echoes, creating a dynamic contrast with steady rhythms.”
iNFO :: Mitochondrion EP (Computer Controlled)
Another outstanding example of a go-to EP from a skilled electro artisan with a release-worthy imprint. Strongly recommended.
