signalsundertests ~ Nascent

signalsundrtests began their career in the not-so-glamorous world of experimental electronic music with an album that had more beats and bleeps than your typical Autechre excursion, industrial noise a la Nine Inch Nails, and even some rap!  While Mecca was all over the

The Green Kingdom ~ Incidental Music

Incidental Music is one of the most relaxing albums we’ve heard in a while, inspiring a state of alert calm.  This is the entire point of incidental music: the sounds used in movies to accompany important, less obvious scenes.  These pieces

Isnaj Dui ~ Abstracts on Solitude

Many, when hearing the word ‘solitude’, will think of something unsettling, the fear of being alone (a broken communication, time fleeing away while they are trapped within the failure of self-consciousness). A few others will think of something comforting, a
