The follow-up to Foil Splinters finds Nonima (Tam Ferrans) and Dissolved (Paul Daniels) continuing to engage in IDM/industrial exercises, providing brain food for the dance floor. The artists are close enough in timbre to co-exist, trading tracks throughout the course of the album and meeting

MFAAH ~ Everything Better Under White Light
Short but sweet, this glitchy little EP makes a solid impression in only a quarter of an hour. The debut work of 20-year-old MFAAH, Everything Better Under White Light sounds like the pops and fizzes of an aching florescent bulb. In these six

Faccioli/Gastaldello ~ Dissangue
Grit is the key element of Dissangue (“to bleed”). Ambient music is in abundance these days, but grit gives this release an edge. The piano is present, and does its best to soothe. But so are dark murmurings of drone and dissonance, feedback
