Danny Clay & Katrien De Blauwer ~ Stills

Are we still in the digital era, or have we passed into something yet unnamed?  (Please don’t call it “post-digital”!)  While many of us never abandoned our love for vinyl, a new generation has embraced it, and with the love

Lost Trail ~ A Retreat More Than A Surrender

The scattered ashes are in place for Lost Trail (the project of Zachary and Denny Corsa). The husband and wife duo will soon turn their attention to a new project and a new chapter, closing the door on Lost Trail for good

Look To The North ~You’re A Séance, Old North

You’re A Séance, Old North drifts around a property it’s claimed ownership of for centuries – the local woods. The music flits and circles the forest as well as the outskirts of the nearby township, and as it plays perceptions of

Midori Hirano ~ Minor Planet

We’ve always had a weakness for Sonic Pieces’ hand-stitched covers, shown below in an image borrowed from Sounds of a Tired City.  Minor Planet contains an circle on the cloth cover to represent its title, but we’re simply going to call

Geneva Skeen ~ Dark Speech

Dark Speech is a highly unusual recording for Dragon’s Eye ~ the opening minutes sound like the antithesis of the label’s typical release.  With a nearly-industrial rush of sound, Geneva Skeen introduces herself to the masses.  Only later will she relent.  Vast sheets

E and I ~ The Colour of Sound

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from E and I (Emmanuel Witzthum and Craig Tattersall).  Their last album was on the sorely missed Cotton Goods label; the only thing we don’t miss about Cotton Goods is the tiny print runs.  Eilean Records

Various Artists ~ Texture Series Volume One

Forgive the followers of 1631 Recordings if they look a little worn out. The year-old label boasts 75 releases, and as production really ramped up around November or so this amounts to almost two classical, experimental or ambient albums a

Koen Holtkamp ~ Voice Model

The word “percolate” is used to describe the year that passed between recording and release, but it’s also a fine word to describe the beginning of this bubbling album.  The opening minutes sound like waking up, stretching one’s arms, and
