Stephen Cornford ~ Constant Linear Velocity
Consumer Waste is the perfect home for an album inspired by obsolescent technology. Constant Linear Velocity began life as an installation (see this article on Fluid Radio), but after moving from country to country, the installation was lost; now all that

Polynation ~ Igneous
As we noted in our Spring Music Preview, it helps to have a awesome cover. Polynation‘s alluring art is matched by immersive music. Igneous is cinematic, exciting and funky, a fitting score to an apocalyptic stampede (as Hessel Stuut’s art suggests), perfect
