L.T.D.M.S. ~ (« Insérer titre »)

Recommended if you like: roosters, flutes, and repetition.  That’s not a common combination, but it’s a fair description of this 8-piece Belgian band’s 50-minute, 4-track post-rock album. The rooster comes into play on the first track, “Douze”, which is bracketed

Ross Baker ~ The Blackbirds’ Revenge

It’s always interesting to see where releases end up  – for example, this tape out of England being released by Jozik Records in Helsinki.  Jozik applies a loving touch to everything it releases, as demonstrated in the photograph on the

Nils Quak ~ Aether

Nils Quak must have had a tough off-season, because Aether is dark, cold, and bleak, and we mean that as a compliment.  One imagines two tribes, the ambient and the dark ambient, amassed on opposite ends of a great field.  As Quak leaves

Celer ~ Bliksem

Talk about limited editions.  Only ten copies of Bliksem (the Dutch word for lightning) were made, and they were distributed on Celer‘s recent tour with Machinefabriek.  If I’d been in the Netherlands at the time, I’d have wanted one; it’s a great event-appropriate souvenir,

Cycle~ 440 ~ The Cartography of Shifting Planes

We do like the squiggle (I take full responsibility), but we never thought we’d see it in an artist’s name.  The Cartography of Shifting Planes is the second album from Cycle~ 440, the Perth duo of Sam Gillies (whose Music for Computers was

NHK’Koyxeи ~ Dance Classics Vol. 1

‘Classic’ is a word that takes on certain negative connotations when associated with music. It’s possibly excusable when it comes to cinema or literature – that is, we seem quite happy to accept a classic film or classic novel as

Strië ~ Õhtul

Sometimes the only way to get everything right is to stop trying.  This surrender lies at the heart of Õhtul, an album of immersive beauty that neither bows to convention nor rails against it.  Strië (Iden Reinhart) tours the world with various
