Burstbot ~ Memory Imprints

A listener approaches an album in one of two ways: informational (what’s it about and where is the artist coming from?) and visceral (how does the album look and sound?).  When the two are combined, the former may influence the

Kammerflimmer Kollektief ~ Désarroi

Few artists ever reach the milestone of a 10th album, but Kammerflimmer Kollektief has just joined this elite group.  Even rarer is the act whose 10th album comes across as something strange and new, wild and enigmatic, sending off sparks rather than

One And Seven Eighths ~ They Came From Outer-Space To Interfere With Me

Last summer, we reviewed Modern Camping Songs, a quirky cassette from a pair of Stourbridges (or almost a pair, as one eighth is missing).  The follow-up continues in the same vein, unapologetically weird yet clearly creative. While last year’s cassette was compared

Boris Berlin ~ Soundtrack for an Imaginary Film

The title may be a cliché, but the music is not.  New York composer Boris Berlin has simply been bold enough to use the phrase.  And so, yes, this is the soundtrack to an imaginary film (with an actual plot), but it’s

John Kameel Farah ~ Between Carthage and Rome

Toronto composer John Kameel Farah is a multi-disciplinary, intercultural artist who seems to excel at everything he does.  Not only does he play piano, he adds electronics and orchestral instruments.  Not only does he compose, he also produces elaborate ink drawings.  His

Yannick Dauby ~ tsi̍t lâu tsuí 一流水

Yannick Dauby‘s latest soundscape is not a typical field recording; louder and more immediate than the average effort, this vinyl excursion amplifies the sounds of shore and sea beyond what the naked ear is used to hearing. As a Frenchman

Nickolas Mohanna ~ Phase Line

Nickolas Mohanna has operated in many fields, from drone to modern composition, but Phase Line is his wildest work to date.  The album began as a sound installation, and includes the angular, manipulated output of “electronic billboards, kiosk stations and traffic control devices”.
