Markus Mehr ~ On
Woah, what happened here? After the two long, ambient, loop-based tracks of In (the first part of a triptych, reviewed here earlier this year), we expected more of the same. But with On, Germany’s Markus Mehr is really on ~ in fact, this is the best thing

K-Conjog ~ Set Your Spirit Freak!
Please ignore the connotations of the title and the moniker. This is neither a hip-hop album nor a collection of club anthems, but a melodic blend of post-rock and modern composition, and one of the year’s undiscovered gems. Abandon Building

Murmer ~ What Are The Roots That Clutch
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish? Son of Man, you cannot say, or guess, for you know only a heap of broken images …. T.S. Eliot’s words ring true in this Wasteland; although the

Johan G Winther ~ Of Use
The first wave of recorded music was physical, the second digital, and the third personal. One of the best things to come from the digital revolution was a response from the creative art industry: a wash of physical releases that
