Gonçalo F. Cardoso ~ Impressões de Outra Ilha (Borneo)

In the movie industry, sometimes a sequel appears and we realize we have a series.  The same principle holds true in the music industry.  Impressões de Outra Ilha (Borneo) is a follow-up to Impressões De Uma Ilha (Unguja), its source material

V/A ~ A Collective Memoir

Sometimes the timing of a release affects an album’s relevance.  This is the case with A Collective Memoir, released less than 24 hours before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  The album, commissioned by the Urkavan Festival, presents like-minded artists from both Russia

Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice ~ To Live & Die In Space & Time

There’s a long-running feature in Mojo magazine giving musicians, actors or writers a brief questionnaire about their listening habits. Even if I don’t buy a particular issue, I will have a covert peek at the All Back To My Place

Tangerine Dream ~ Raum

The Ship of Theseus. Trigger’s Broom. Sugababes. All examples of one of the oldest concepts in Western philosophy – if something has had all its original components replaced, does it remain fundamentally the same object? It’s a topic which has

Warren ‘Kaninen’ Rasmussen ~ Rædsel Fra Månekatten

Here’s a question Ghostface never asks throughout the Scream franchise:  “Name one horror series from the Faroe Isles!  *pause*  Really?  Nothing?  Not even Rædsel Fra Månekatten?”  *stab stab stab* The story behind this cassette is as serendipitous as the show was short.
