Dakota Suite | Vampillia ~ The Sea Is Never Full

It may seem strange to write about one tragedy on the anniversary of another, but when the emotions of one seem overwhelming, the empathy of its sibling may provide solace.  The Sea Is Never Full remembers the Fukushima disaster from pre-

FIS ~ From Patterns to Details

From Patterns to Details is an immersive album: thick, loudly mastered, and at times nearly abrasive.  While listening, one has the choice of focusing on the patterns, which are not always overt, and the details, which are nearly beyond number. FIS crafts his

R. Schwarz ~ Wind 1-3

Here we are in the middle of a tropical storm, and I’m listening to the wind outside while writing about the recorded wind inside.  This amusing confluence works to the tape’s advantage.  The last two hurricanes have borne distinctly non-intimidating

Scott Walker ~ The Childhood of a Leader OST

Can you make a buying decision in 46 seconds?  I did, and it paid off.  Only a snippet was streaming before the release of the new Scott Walker album; even now, you’ll need iTunes for more.  But 46 seconds is all you’ll

Geneva Skeen ~ Dark Speech

Dark Speech is a highly unusual recording for Dragon’s Eye ~ the opening minutes sound like the antithesis of the label’s typical release.  With a nearly-industrial rush of sound, Geneva Skeen introduces herself to the masses.  Only later will she relent.  Vast sheets

Izabela Dłużyk ~ Soundscapes of summer

This is perhaps the sweetest story we’ve heard all summer, and it arrives as the season is starting to slip away.  It’s the story of a young woman born blind who falls in love with the sounds around her, begins

E and I ~ The Colour of Sound

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from E and I (Emmanuel Witzthum and Craig Tattersall).  Their last album was on the sorely missed Cotton Goods label; the only thing we don’t miss about Cotton Goods is the tiny print runs.  Eilean Records

Various Artists ~ Texture Series Volume One

Forgive the followers of 1631 Recordings if they look a little worn out. The year-old label boasts 75 releases, and as production really ramped up around November or so this amounts to almost two classical, experimental or ambient albums a
