Gabriel Saloman ~ Movement Building Vol. 3
It starts with a static exhalation and a heartbeat drum ~ breath and beat together. Eventually the other elements are added: droning guitar, mournful cello and yes – for this is Gabriel Saloman – military drums. But for now we’ll have to

Gilroy Mere ~ The Green Line
What a warm and wonderful release! Older Londoners will be especially chuffed at the release of this nostalgic album, which celebrates The Green Line of buses that connected London to its neighbors for half a century, ending in 1986. As much a

Guenter Schlienz ~ Peace
Pacified tones flow out of Peace. In the key of sweet love, higher notes float on translucent, ever-calm waters. Occasionally, a soft, undulating bass will accompany them, drawing near and walking beside them. Peace is more than just an absence
