Matt Dunkley ~ Six Cycles
After years of involvement in film and TV composition, including contributions to Inception and The Dark Knight, Matt Dunkley has teamed up with the Babelsberg Film Orchestra to create a short album that sounds like – you guessed it – a soundtrack. The difference

Michael Begg | Human Greed ~ Let the Cold Stove Sing
Let the Cold Stove Sing is moody, introspective and gravitational. It’s a more restrained album than we’re used to hearing from Michael Begg (Human Greed), but it may be his best. The flow is incredibly smooth, given the fact that these 14 pieces

The Beacon Sound Choir ~ Sunday Morning Drones
Infinite Greyscale’s 10″ series returns with a pair of vocal drones ~ yes, you read that right, vocal. Sunday Morning Drones is like the choral version of a Rhys Chatham experiment, with Peter Broderick at the helm. To create these sounds, Broderick

Glenn Jones ~ Fleeting
One can’t help but notice Glenn Jones‘ unified cover aesthetic: a finger-picking cat, a finger-picking squirrel, a finger-picking four-leaf clover (our favorite), a finger-picking dog, and now a finger-picking hare (although this may be the same finger-picking hare as seen on

Stefano Guzzetti ~ Leaf
Mere months after the review of Stefano Guzzetti‘s last album comes the review of another, this one more springlike in nature but no less lovely. As the birds precede the piano, and the piano precedes the strings, so do the strings
