Brett Naucke ~ Executable Dreamtime

Executable Dreamtime is a duet between man and machine, in which each component acts as composer and curator.  Brett Naucke creates the patches, then stands back to watch what they will do, like a parent accompanying his children to the playground.  When

Ólafur Arnalds ~ Island Songs

In Iceland, summer is a magical season.  The sun never sets, and the shadows are sublime.  The temperature is never too hot or too cold.  For morning and night people alike, it’s a perfect time to explore the land of

Ben Chatwin ~ Heat & Entropy

Heat & Entropy is a beast brought up from the ocean floor by a depth charge, unhappy to be disturbed.  This lumbering, tentacled creature can hold but a single thought in its mind at one time, and is hell-bent on revenge.

Florian von Ameln ~ Rvvr

The last of Eilean’s summer releases, Rvvr captures that late season, dry gulch moment, when all is mud and dust.  As with all of Eilean’s releases, it’s assigned a color ~ in this case, blue.  But this blue, visible only in the

Marielle V Jakobsons ~ Star Core

Four years have passed since Glass Canyon, yet Date Palms/darwinsbitch veteran Marielle V Jakobsons hasn’t lost a step; on Star Core, she makes a calm yet triumphant return.  The album is soothing, meditative, psychedelic and transportive.  The occasional addition of voice hearkens back to the

An Ant And An Atom ~ Entropy

Many moons have passed since we’ve seen a handmade art zine, but that’s exactly what one receives with the physical copy of Entropy.  The 25-minute piece originally accompanied an exhibit of Lauren Crazybull’s fine art, excerpts of which are included in the

Machinefabriek & Philippe Petit ~ Angry Ambient Artists Vol. 1

The name is incongruous, the concept endearing.  Angry ambient artists?  You betcha.  People expect ambient artists to have ambient personalities as well: floating, drifting, relaxing, calm.  Some may even expect ambient artists to speak in abraded loops.  Yet as Depeche

Various Artists ~ The Quietened Bunker

The album begins with the sound of a clock ~ perhaps the Doomsday Clock ~ and John Carpenter synths.  The world is about to end as the Russians and Americans fire their missiles at each other.  The air sirens sound,
