Various Artists ~ Somewhere on the edge

47 tracks, 531 minutes and 34 seconds: nearly nine hours of field recordings and soundscapes fill every corner of Gruenrekorder’s 100th release, a testament not only to the strength and diversity of the label, but to the number of friends

Valiska ~ Record of 37

One day not so long ago, Valiska (Krzysztof Sujata) took the bus to the train in downtown Calgary and thought, wow, this sounds pretty good.  And so, field recorder in hand, he set out to record the sounds of the day: to bring the

Luis Antero ~ Postais Sonoros

40 tracks is quite a lot, but as a free download, it’s more of an abundance than an over-indulgence.  Luis Antero‘s travels across Portugal, the country “planted by the sea”, are lovingly preserved as a series of sonic postcards for

Being ~ Folkestone Lighthouse

The Folkestone Lighthouse EP is one of the best releases of the year.  We don’t say such things often, or lightly, because tastes differ; but this one crosses genres and is much more than a simple release.  We’re fortunate to be able

David Velez ~ Sonido Descompuesto

Various Artists ~ Rivers Home II
