Sujo ~ Kahane

Sujo on vinyl!  And what lovely vinyl it is, courtesy of the fine folks at Fedora Corpse Recordings.  Call the shade coffee, dirt or gold, depending on your concept of color, and add a touch of black: somewhat like the recording

Luca Sigurtà ~ Bliss

A simple three-note melody is quietly sounded out as electronics buzz and swarm their way into the foreground, a low tone gently swelling in the back.  A bird cries above, water sloshes lightly in the harbor. What is conjured up

Monochromie ~ Angels and Demons

It doesn’t happen often that we hear an album we have a hard time categorizing, but that is what happened when listening to the debut album of Wilson Trouve aka Monochromie.  The album’s artwork immediately immerses us into a world

IA ~ Peak of Anchorite

There’s a part of ambient music closely tied to drone, the part that concerns itself mostly with repetition, that has distanced itself from both the ‘lightness’ of setting the mind adrift as self-spectator and the ‘heaviness’ of noisy irruptions of

Leo Abrahams + Oliver Coates ~ Crystals Are Always Forming

“Crystals are always forming,” say Leo Abrahams + Oliver Coates, and on this album, one can imagine the slow process in which they form, building on existing structures, sending tendrils across their surfaces like dendrites.  The album contains a clear culmination,

Sun Hammer + Radere ~ Lotophagen

Earlier this year, we reviewed separate releases by Sun Hammer + Radere on the Futuresequence label.  The two are friends, and this effort is not only a musical collaboration, but an expansion of that friendship.  Jay Bodley (Sun Hammer) changed states twice

FluiD/John 3:16 ~ The Pursuit of Salvation

John 3:16 is back again, this time on vinyl, and he’s brought a friend, industrial/hip-hop artist Christophe Gilmore (FluiD).  After 25 years in the business, the latter artist is still going strong, perhaps a sign that he was ahead of his
