Alberto Boccardi ~ Petra
There are times when even the most familiar landscape takes on an uncomfortable edge. The hill up the road starts to look alien, the cityscape like a jumble of separate, disconnected parts. Returning home after a long absence, familiar sights

Hüma Utku ~ The Psychologist
Hüma Utku‘s distinctive background ~ raised in Istanbul, now based in Berlin ~ may be responsible for the distinctive industrial timbres of The Psychologist. But the subject matter is another obvious culprit, as the artist draws inspiration from a variety of

Galya Bisengalieva ~ Hold Your Breath: The Ice Dive
How long can you hold your breath underwater? Have you ever tested the limits of your abilities? Perhaps you have swum from one end of a pool to another, or dived deep to follow a sea turtle, or built up

Indian Wells ~ No One Really Listens to Oscillators
No one really listens to oscillators, claims Indian Wells. Okay, we’ll take that as a challenge. The title track, like many of Pietro Iannuzzi’s pieces, starts with a recognizable melody, then gently mutates. This is a common theme in trance, which nudges listeners

Caterina Barbieri ~ Spirit Exit
The introduction of vocals to an artist’s oeuvre is a selling point for larger audiences, and a challenge to instrumental-based sites. Spirit Exit includes Caterina Barbieri‘s first use of vocals, yet it is not a vocal album. Instead, the artist (who scored our
