Cluster Lizard ~ Edge of the Universe

The sun is twinkling across waves which seem to stretch on forever.  The Ukrainian duo of Dmytro Fedorenko & Kateryna Zavoloka take us into an altogether different forever – that of Sagan, Greene, Hawking, and deGrasse Tyson, a dark, cold,

L’Effondras ~ Les Flavescences

We usually leave the hard stuff to our friends at Echoes & Dust, but this one was too good to resist.  Lyon post-rock / post-metal threesome L’Effondras channels the might of Tool in four long tracks and adds a whole lot of

Maarten Vos & Michel Banabila ~ Home

Home is the eclectic score to a performance by Conny Janssen Danst “about people trying to find one’s place in the world and with each other”.  Michel Banabila’s electronics and Maarten Vos’ cello are the key players, but in the loping 14-minute
