superalgebra ~ Its only numbers
Jon Cooper (superalgebra) seems to love math, but he doesn’t perform math rock. His field is ambient electronics, and superalgebra is just one of his many guises. Those with algebraic tendencies may wish to puzzle over his track titles (“5-9-2-7-5”, “3-1-9-1-3”,

Astrowind ~ Fresh Wind In The Valley Of Dreams
Space has long been a source of fascination and inspiration for electronic musicians; clips from NASA recordings have been used to give an extra depth to ambient works pretty much since the genre began. Kriipis Tulo, the Latvian musician who

North Atlantic Drift ~ Canvas
Taking its cue from the monochrome picture of the sea on a rainy day, North Atlantic Drift make an immediate impression as an artistic outfit not only willing to explore the edge of sound, but going further into the exploration

Pleq/Hiroki Sasajima/Spheruleus ~ Time & Language
An electronic expert, a field recording specialist and an acoustic troubadour walk into a bar. They buy a few drinks, socialize, and begin to play. There’s no punchline, but the patrons clap. This is essentially what happens on Time & Language,

Fescal ~ Alchemical Wanderings
Alchemical Wanderings arrives in a mysteriously shaded bag and is accompanied by a tube of miscellaneous metals, befitting its title. Gold flecks have been mixed in, perhaps some pyrite and copper. Warning to children: Do Not Eat. This mysterious air extends

Nuojuva ~ Valot Kaukaa
Ous Mal is dead, came the announcement. So soon? We’d barely got to know each other and now, now, it’s all over? Perhaps some things were never meant to be… Or perhaps, Ous Mal was merely the first stage, for

Spheruleus ~ Dissolve
Many recordings are born of inspiration, but Dissolve was born of a lack of inspiration, which is not to say that it isn’t inspired. This two-track outing from Harry Towell (Spheruleus) was birthed as severe writer’s block led him to imagine a richer physical environment
