Rob St John ~ Surface Tension
Occasionally a recording artist does something so thoroughly and so well that it puts most other artists to shame. Rob St John is this sort of artist, and Surface Tension is only the latest of his productions, arriving on the heels of Water

Mark Vernon ~ Things That Were Missed In The Clamour For Calm
“Whatever is not full makes noise. Whatever is full is quiet.” Buddha’s quote lies at the heart of Mark Vernon‘s Sri Lankan sound collage, an exercise in juxtaposition. Vernon’s CD introduction describes a mechanism in Colombo that instigates noise – drums,

Angélica Castelló ~ Sonic Blue
A few years ago I picked up Bestiardio, a unique recording from Angélica Castelló that to this day remains thoroughly unclassifiable. Sonic Blue may be easier to classify, but is no less fascinating; it’s a (mostly) underwater soundscape enhanced by the sub-contra bass,

Lawrence English ~ Viento
Lawrence English’s follow-up to Shadow of the Monolith continues his exploration of Antarctic sounds, but is a much more visceral and immediate work than its predecessor. On this LP, English presents two side-long recordings of winter fury. Given such conditions, most reasonable

Ubeboet ~ haereo
On the one hand, fans have come to expect the Mystery Sea label to delve into ocean-based electronics and field recordings on every release. On the other, the label has come to offer sound as a sea of mystery, which has

Yannick Dauby ~ tsi̍t lâu tsuí 一流水
Yannick Dauby‘s latest soundscape is not a typical field recording; louder and more immediate than the average effort, this vinyl excursion amplifies the sounds of shore and sea beyond what the naked ear is used to hearing. As a Frenchman

Nickolas Mohanna ~ Phase Line
Nickolas Mohanna has operated in many fields, from drone to modern composition, but Phase Line is his wildest work to date. The album began as a sound installation, and includes the angular, manipulated output of “electronic billboards, kiosk stations and traffic control devices”.

Natasha Barrett ~ Peat+Polymer
This one has it all: intercontinental field recordings, sledding children, vocal manipulations, soundscapes, excursions in drone. Natasha Barrett has been called “Norway’s most prominent composer of electro-acoustic music,” and on the basis of this double disc, she’s earned it. Peat+Polymer isn’t just
