Almost an Island ~ Almost an Island
We don’t often start in the middle of an album, but on these long, hot summer days, with heat waves on both sides of the pond, “In Light Of” is a panacea. The LP contains very few words, so when

Bartholomew ~ Subterranea
Subterranea is a fun discovery, a mostly upbeat set that melds modern composition and electronics to produce a warm, cinematic vibe. The album starts with organ tones, the beginning of a church service, but leaves no definitive clues as to where

Budos Band ~ Budos VII
Staten Island nonet Budos Band return for their mighty seventh offering, on which they continue to fine-tune their fusion of funk, rock and afro-beat. While the album continues to admire 70s hard rock, as evident in its Uriah Heap-infused art

Yoichi Kamimura must have had a sinking feeling when local elders informed him that despite all his hard work and years of field recording, he had failed to capture the true sound of Ryūhyō-Nari (drift ice noises). Undeterred, the artist continued
