Various Artists ~ Tectonic Plates Volume 3
The first Tectonic Plates compilation was a timely capturing of the major players in dubstep; six years later comes the third volume and it’s time to move things on again. The steel grey cover and the terse names listed don’t

Vieo Abiungo ~ Thunder May Have Ruined the Moment
Thunder May Have Ruined the Moment is a multi-media follow-up to last year’s And the World Is Still Yawning, and although that release was solid, this one is a distinct improvement. William Ryan Fritch (Vieo Abiungo) has gone all out for this effort,

afarOne ~ Lucen
Three years in the making, Stefano Ruggieri‘s debut album as afarOne reflects the stable hand of a pure perfectionist. Yet while crisp and precise, Lucen is also a triumph of mood, evocative of heavy woods and deep fog, similar in tone to the work

Insect Factory ~ Melodies from a Dead Radio
