Alex Augier ~ Germination
Our eyes were first drawn to the Roly Porter remix, but Alex Augier‘s Germination succeeds on its own merits. The high-profile name does its job, and the association is apt, as this music should appeal to fans of Third Law. Like Porter, Augier allows

Joshua Bonnetta ~ Low Islands / Videobasic ~ To our good friends in the Western Alps

Jonas Reinhardt ~ Conclave Surge
The last Jonas Reinhardt album we reviewed was accompanied by a DVD; this time, the visuals are left to the mind. The cover is the exception, implying holiness and hush: one might see candles in this image, or the pipes of

Bana Haffar ~ Matiere

Zenjungle ~ Fragmented Lives
2018’s first great drone album comes from Zenjungle (Phil Gardelis) and extends the genre’s current hot streak. Political disruption, environmental degradation and the refugee crisis have been terrible developments for humanity, but a great inspiration for artists. Like recording artist
