It’s really great to see and hear Touched Music giving some of these artists another new home, and whilst it’s part of a ten year anniversary and bringing back feelings and artists I had love for more 20 years ago when I was first discovering them.

Bart Hawkins :: Entering the Axis Mundi (Spotted Peccary Music)
A circle begins and ultimately returns to the start, and you have gained all of the experience of the textures, and silence, sparking a spiritual awakening into the power of sound of the journey around the forms.
Bart Hawkins :: Bell’s Theorem (Self Released)
Hawkins elicits increasing clearly defined tones from his modular synth, with bright ambience and traces of an improvisatory concert of lofty circles in the air, like entangled particles dancing in their contemplative and transcendent harmonic existence.
TÆT :: Serpent Bearer (Errorgrid)
A tried-and-true collection of mechanical sound structures, fidgeting synth workouts, and blissful melodic strands submerged in tightly threaded beat patches settled on a solid foundation.
Ian Boddy :: Coil (DiN)
When you dive into these analogous time capsules, the soundscapes and soundtracks seamlessly come to life, as if only a few machines were massaged to create such audible treasures.
Parallel Worlds :: Plector (DiN)
Plector sees Parallel Worlds on his third solo mission with DiN, and once again encapsulates darker atmospheres, especially as the opening title-track showcases so well.
exm :: comp (Dyadik)
Everything on this release is easy to put on again and again, with so much going on it’s virtually impossible to take it all in during one sitting. Careful which track you choose to repeat though as you could easily lose your week to this one.
Julien Guillot :: Pink Snow (Concrete Collage)
This album is also some sort of a tribute to everything non-linear and unpredictable in the audio world, such as analogue circuits, tubes, spring reverb, tapes, all those things that made those pieces sound as they sound.
