Endless Melancholy ~ Her Name In A Language Of Stars

The album begins with a slow music box melody and a distant ambient wash, like stars twinkling in front of the Milky Way or Aurora Borealis ~ a perfect reflection of the album cover.  This is Endless Melancholy‘s fourth full album

Ricardo Donoso ~ Machine to Machine

Ricardo Donoso is difficult to define.  On the one hand, he’s part of the wild experimental duo Perispirit; on the other, he’s the curator of the Kathexis label, whose last release was Alex Menzies’ subtle soundtrack to Order & Disorder.  Then

Blood Room ~ Chroma & Coda

Chroma & Coda is a concrete slab of techno. The clickety-clack of the beat and the pounding, incessantly strict and yet thoroughly relaxed rhythms are, of course, crucial to the music. A supremely chunky beat sets the music off on the right

Far Rainbow ~ No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool

Olan Mill ~ Cavade Morlem

Out to sea, emerald waters glint in the dazzling light of July. As you swim, the crystal-blue water rocks against your body. Pure, heavenly shores wait for you. Ambient swells rise languidly and break gently against the shore, clouded in the white daze

Plesiosaur~ ~ Falling

With Jurassic World all the rage this summer, it seems like a good time to be named plesiosaur~, even with the tilde.  When last we encountered Tonesucker’s Steve Elsey, he was in mourning; this time, he’s stretching his wings and flying to
