High aura’d ~ Sanguine Futures
Sanguine Futures is a Rorchach test of an album, an inkblot of sound from which different ears will intuit different tales. It may be a winter album edging toward the spring, a clouded mind coming into focus, a blurred photo becoming

Alberto Boccardi ~ S/T
Like a cellophane-wrapped square of mixed breakfast cereals, Alberto Boccardi‘s debut is a variety pack of enticements: straightforward and experimental, vocal and instrumental, song and drone. This diversity of styles is reminiscent of This Mortal Coil, especially the sweet dulcet

John Aulich ~ Suite 001 – “For Kazimierz”
John Aulich’s first major project is time-anchored yet timeless, frightening yet essential. Suite 001 – “For Kazimierz” is inspired by the WWII stories of Aulich’s Polish grandfather, who immigrated to the U.K. and served in the British Army until 1948.

Ross Baker ~ Photographic Reflection
This morning, I got in the car just in time to hear another violent news incident reported on the radio. As I drove, the anchor continued to dwell on the story. Fortunately, I had packed Ross Baker‘s newest album. As I

artificial memory trace ~ chitin
Here’s some really great music for the Grissoms and other budding entomologists, as well as for students of insect symphonies. Slavek Kwi (artificial memory trace) has produced a remarkable sonic document in chitin, originally commissioned for France’s 2011 “l’audible festival”. The sheer

Pleq + Hiroki Sasajima ~ witch-hunt
After collaborating with Spheruleus on a beguiling album for Time and Language earlier this year, Pleq + Hiroki Sasajima keep the creative fires burning with the menacing CD-3″ witch-hunt. Spheruleus may be absent, but his positivity would seem out of place.

Delphine Dora ~ A Stream of Consciousness
Solo pianists can come across as dry and removed or playful and ebullient. When a single instrument plays for the length of an album, it’s better to be the latter. This is what we’ve come to expect from Delphine Dora, who

Motion ~ The Drowned World
For the past few days, New York has been in the midst of a heat wave, and I’ve been waiting for a break ~ a cool, overcast, rainy day in which to review The Drowned World. The smooth modern jazz/Necks-like post-rock
