Aaron Martin ~ A Room Now Empty

A Room Now Empty is a sequel of sorts to Day Has Ended, the concept of a day lengthened to that of a lifetime.  On the prior album, Aaron Martin teamed with Christoph Berg; here he records solo once more, playing everything from his

Brandon Locher ~ EP1

Many of our readers are familiar with Brandon Locher, but until now they may not have known his name.  The artist has released LPs as The Meets and Stage Hands, and is now finally appearing as himself.  His template continues to

First Rebirth ~ Abyss Is Calling

Last year we wrote about a resurgence in instrumental industrial music.  Much of this resurgence has come from unexpected camps, as the grime and electronic fields have nudged their way back to the dark side.  But there are still a

Francis MacDonald ~ Hamilton Mausoleum Suite

Two things should be said upfront.  This album is about Hamilton, but not about that Hamilton; and it’s about a mausoleum, but it’s not morose.  Not that any expected rapping, but the title does imply the funereal.  A further surprise is that Francis

Ian Hawgood + Giulio Aldinucci ~ Consequence Shadows

Ian Hawgood‘s second January collaboration is far different from his first.  Although the music is still ambient, and the cover art (Eirik Holmøyvik) equally stunning, this duo’s sonic palette has been expanded to include field recordings and electronics.  Where Faintly Recollected is

Alex Augier ~ Germination

Our eyes were first drawn to the Roly Porter remix, but Alex Augier‘s Germination succeeds on its own merits.  The high-profile name does its job, and the association is apt, as this music should appeal to fans of Third Law.  Like Porter, Augier allows

Joshua Bonnetta ~ Low Islands / Videobasic ~ To our good friends in the Western Alps

Italy’s Canti Magnetici label gets into the spirit of winter with a pair of cold cabin tapes.  The first leaves the safety of the cabin to travel into the storm; the second stays inside and makes a pleasant racket. Joshua

The last Jonas Reinhardt album we reviewed was accompanied by a DVD; this time, the visuals are left to the mind.  The cover is the exception, implying holiness and hush: one might see candles in this image, or the pipes of
