Markus Mehr ~ Dyschronia
Dyschronia is an album eerily aligned with its time, as it addresses technology, surveillance, wiretapping and the disconnected plight of the modern era, while exuding an aesthetic appeal. Today’s industrial societies are approaching total technological immersion. Our words are recoverable even after they have been

P.E.A.R.L. ~ Temptation Through Impatience
The modern world is swamped by skittish, lazy, and infrequently well-meaning attempts to direct our fellow human beings towards ideas of living mindfully, compassionately and well. But where are those championing our final weak moments? Our enfeebled pulse? Our croaking

Grzegorz Bojanek ~ Stories of an Old Man
With Stories of an Old Man, Grzegorz Bojanek introduces us to a market for instrumental music that’s so obvious, we can’t believe we hadn’t thought of it before. The music began as the soundtrack to an audiobook, and the album presents re-worked, wordless

Badmixday ~ A Quiet Mind Awaits
