Olan Mill ~ Paths
Poignancy with brevity. That about sums up the ambient chamber duo Olan Mill, a pair from England who compose strictly in the winter time. “Bleu Polar” picks up right where their debut Pine left off with gorgeous etchings of violins

Cock And Swan ~ Stash
It’s probably wrong to limit albums to days of the week but Stash is very much a Sunday kind of record. For many of us, it’s the day we feel slightly more relaxed than usual, the pace of life just

Gareth Davis & Frances-Marie Uitti ~ Gramercy
How can musicians move music forward? By inventing new instruments – a tricky proposition – or learning to play old instruments in new ways. Gareth Davis & Frances-Marie Uitti take the latter path on Gramercy. Davis is billed as a “clarinet abuser”,

6LA8 & MMI ~ Reveries
Reverie (n): 1. A state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream 2. An instrumental piece suggesting a dreamy or musing state …and a state of dreamy instrumental pieces is exactly what the listener will get when listening

Concessionaires ~ Artificial Interface
This album reminds me of an old trance song, Space Manoeuvres’ “Phase One”. (“In deep space … abandoned.” “Any crew?” “Negative.”) Not that it’s a trance album; trance-inducing, perhaps, but thankfully lacking in repetitive beats. That track existed in multiple

The 22 minutes of Kyōto/Nara were inspired by – and feature recordings of – the two cities in the title, that were once capitals of Japan, the latter from 710 to 784 and the former from 794 to 1869. Due to

Noxroy ~ Cotyledon Observatory
After listening to Cotyledon Observatory for a couple weeks, I’ve been thinking of clear night skies, crisp stars, an observatory on a hill, possibly somewhere in Britain. So imagine my surprise when I learned that there is no Cotyledon Observatory; a
