John Cage ~ Early Electronic & Tape Music
Early Electronic & Tape Music is a historical reconstruction of several John Cage pieces that can be arguably called fundamental in the development of avant-garde music during the second half of last century. Collective Langham Research Centre utilizes the various

Sontag Shogun ~ “tale”
In this post, we update the continuing saga of Sontag Shogun. Part One was the farewell party; Part Two was the EP. Now the band is happily reunited for Part Three: The Album, which was recorded in three separate cities but

Maxwell August Croy and Sean McCann ~ I
The first team-up for these noteworthy musicians, I is a lovely and original-sounding release. Last year, Sean McCann‘s Music for Private Ensemble made a big splash around these parts, as the artist performed every part himself. We were hoping to hear a collaboration, for

Christina Vantzou ~ No. 2
Listening again to Christina Vantzou‘s No. 1 (2011), I’m reminded again of how lovely the Dead Texan’s work has been all along, from the gossamer beauty of “Homemade Mountains” to the string-laden centre of “Super Interlude Part 2”. Comparisons to A Winged Victory

Stray Ghost ~ Mały Wilk
I will state this outright: Mały Wilk is one of the prettiest albums I’ve heard this year. It’s like an Ólafur Arnalds work, both deeply sentimental and rational, a work that plunges the listener into a musical environment so dense
