Wixel ~ Revox Tapes

The digital submission was sitting in the in-box, but I had already ordered the cassette.  “Wait for the tape!” implored Jordskred’s Louis Reith.  And he was right. Revox Tapes is a tape about tapes; to listen to this release in any other fashion

My Home, Sinking ~ My Home, Sinking

Supergroup alert!  When Enrico Coniglio decided to record a new type of album, he didn’t want to go it alone.  In 2011, he released a track titled “The Void”, which appeared on Wire Tapper 26 under his own name.  That track launches My Home, Sinking,
