Brett Naucke ~ Executable Dreamtime

Executable Dreamtime is a duet between man and machine, in which each component acts as composer and curator.  Brett Naucke creates the patches, then stands back to watch what they will do, like a parent accompanying his children to the playground.  When

Various Artists ~ The Quietened Bunker

The album begins with the sound of a clock ~ perhaps the Doomsday Clock ~ and John Carpenter synths.  The world is about to end as the Russians and Americans fire their missiles at each other.  The air sirens sound,

Shimmer Crush ~ These Four Walls

The industrial music explosion of the late 20th century was followed by slow-growing tendrils, splinters and echoes.  Shimmer Crush‘s debut album is one of these.  One can hear the ghosts of her influences (Gridlock, Skinny Puppy) in these sounds, although These

okamotonoriaki ~ Happy Ending

okamotonoriaki is no longer a solo affair, as the Tokyo-based composer has invited some of his friends (Cuushe, Flica, Polar M and Chihei Hatakeyama) to contribute to his Happy Ending.  The album exists in a liminal state between ambient and electronic: bouncy

Lo Tide ~ Closed to Listening

The title of Lo Tide‘s new EP, Closed to Listening, seems the direct opposite of our site’s name.  And yet the title is likely meant in an ironic way, as the EP is noticeably open to new electronic styles.  The set follows on

Lakker ~ Struggle & Emerge

Successful concept albums are difficult to pull off, but the new album from Berlin’s Lakker beats the odds.  The scope is ambitious: the relationship between the Dutch and water.  The sources are original: only vintage field recordings and TV and radio broadcasts
