Action Pyramid & Jack Greenhalgh ~ Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond
Oceans, lakes and streams get all the glory, but Action Pyramid & Jack Greenhalgh are interested in ponds: specifically, the ways in which ponds offer their own take on the dawn and dusk chorus. In Mardle: Daily Rhythms of a Pond, hydrophones capture

Meitei ~ Kofū III
Back in 2020, we believed Kofū to be the end of a trilogy when it was instead the beginning of a new one. Kofū III concludes Meitei‘s mighty opus, and switches from the electronic realm to the field of experimental ambience, a

DELREI ~ Desolation and Radiation

Brueder Selke ~ Belka & Strelka
What could be more appealing than the sight of two space dogs on an album cover? Belka & Strelka are perhaps the lesser-known space dogs, because they lived; their unfortunate predecessor Laika died a horrible death. Sputnik 5 also held space
