Cormac Faulkner ~ Topophilia

With a name like Cormac Faulkner, it’s no surprise that the Coventry artist displays a literary bent.  The rare lyrics found on Topophilia include a quote from Joyce and a song based on a centuries-old broadside.  Earlier this year, the artist teamed up

EUS ~ Sol Levit

Sol Levit arrives a year after Los Otros, the EUS album that inspired a remix disc.  It’s hard to imagine remixes of the new works, as the album unfolds as a seamless whole.  Instead of drone tracks, it’s a drone suite, with a

Piano Interrupted ~ The Unified Field

Piano Interrupted‘s debut album Two By Four was informed by modern jazz, but the duo’s follow-up is a more classical venture.  The pair’s marriage of piano and electronics remains intact, while the confidence of the artists is increased.  The Unified Field flows better
