Fernando Visockis ~ Gopchang Leftovers

An unusual album from Kotä Records, Gopchang Leftovers incorporates multiple styles and focuses on none.  The album was conceived during a residency in Seoul, but even that doesn’t explain the diversity on display.  Until one listens all the way through, one cannot

P Jørgensen ~ Gold Beach

P Jørgensen‘s latest effort represents a shift in sound from the Danish composer.  We’ve grown to expect an ambient blend  of electronics from the artist, but here we encounter organic instrumentation, resembling a small orchestra.  Whether this is the sign

V/A ~ the silence was warm vol.5

The latest installment in Symbolic Interaction’s series is not silent ~ it’s not even as ambient as one might expect.  The disc blends the advertised “warm” tones with busy electronics, with a slight edge to the latter.  While a few

Vincent Van Der Bosch ~ Echoes / Shades / Fragments

Athens composer Vincent Van Der Bosch has two large things working for him: intelligence and music.  He also has one large thing working against him: presentation.  Don’t be fooled by the latter; this album is much better than it looks. A lesson

Antigen Shift ~ Brotherhood

Electro-industrial veteran act Antigen Shift is now a duo, as Nick Theriault has joined forces with Jairus Khan (Ad·ver·sary).  The result is a pumped-up sound that positively bursts from the speakers and should set dance floors on fire this summer.  Brotherhood hearkens back to

Duy Gebord & Nienartowicz / Wolski ~ Kelp / Split

Poland’s Pawlacz Perski has just released two superlative experimental cassettes on the same day.  Lech Nienartowicz and Michał Wolski‘s tape is an investigation of clocks, chimes and strings, while Duy Gebord‘s Kelp is inspired by a floating island of trash.  Each surprises

Ashan ~ Breathknow

Constellation Tatsu’s Summer Batch includes this little green gem, labelled as “spiritual, adventurous, fun”.  These words don’t often appear together, but they should.  All too often our spiritual side – or at least, religion – finds its edges dulled.  Breathknow seems
