Padna ~ Burnt Offerings
This year’s final instalment of Preservation’s Circa series arrives just as I think I’ve worked out the coded typography on the covers – at least, the penny’s finally dropped that each cover has the phrase ‘CIRCA2012’ on there – and

Olan Mill ~ Home
Alex Smalley (Olan Mill) has always had a flair for modern composition, although his productions have typically landed just within the border of ambient. On this release, he transcends his former tonal limitations by adding an array of organic instruments:
