Gidge ~ Autumn Bells
What better way to celebrate the first day of autumn than with the release of an upbeat, autumn-themed album? Autumn Bells looks forward rather than back, making us miss the summer a little less. The timing – both physical and emotional

Hammock ~ The Sleepover Series, Volume Two
Nearly a decade has passed since The Sleepover Series, Volume One. While it may be one of the lesser-known works in Hammock‘s canon, it’s one of the most important. The project was inspired by Marc Byrd’s bouts with depression, and led

Lost Trail ~ The Afternoon Vision
The third of Wist Records’ jackdaw releases, The Afternoon Vision is yet another example of attentive packaging given to a splendid release. It’s also one of Lost Trail‘s kindest recordings to date. One might even call it – yes, pun intended – wistful.

Hein Schoer ~ The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures
The Sounding Museum: Box of Treasures is perhaps Gruenrekorder’s most elaborate production to date: a CD, audio DVD, DVD-ROM and softbound 419-page book, all enclosed in a black cardboard sleeve. It takes an entire day to peruse, but one would not

Louis Sarno ~ Song from the Forest
Listening to Song from the Forest, many older readers will think of the famous French duo Deep Forest. The duo helped increase interest in world music in the early nineties, but they also did the genre a slight disservice, creating an unfair

Twink ~ Critter Club
Twink’s Critter Club (no relation to the Simon & Schuster series) is an odd trio of animals whose costumes are visible on the cover and whose identities are revealed on three tarot-style cards within. Twink himself (Mike Langlie) is a playful individual

Avec le soleil sortant de sa bouche ~ Zubberdust!
BOOM! And we’re in it. One second in, and the album is already rocking at full throttle, cranking out the metal riffs typically reserved for the end of longer tracks. And it just keeps getting better from there. Already, the

Lawrence Lindell ~ A Nomad Story
When a person locks himself in a room for a week in order to create a grand work, one of two things may happen. One may go stir crazy (as in this classic clip from The Shining), or one may produce
