V/A ~ Cycle of the Seasons

Do certain types of music remind you of different seasons, or vice versa?  Before we get into the review, think about this for a moment.  What music is best for autumn?  What music best reflects winter?  Cycle of the Seasons addresses

NE Trethowan ~ RS

As the weather grows colder here in the Northern Hemisphere, albums such as RS begin to sound fitting, much more so than in the middle of summer, when the outside world is beckoning.  With the exception of cold weather sports and caroling,

Senna ~ Scenery In His Mind

Every so often, it’s fun to check on our friends at the Audio Gourmet netlabel.  Their EPs – now 66 – are designed to be played during tea time.  (In the U.S., we prefer coffee breaks, but the intention is

Marihiko Hara & Hideki Umezawa ~ Jigokuhen

“Suddenly one day, for whatever reason, His Lordship summoned Yoshihide and ordered him to paint a folding screen portraying scenes from the eight Buddhist hells.”  This is not a good idea. There are many brands of horror, but one that

David Newlyn ~ Canon Alberic’s Scrap-Book

Before there were rules such as “don’t go in the basement” and “shoot ’em in the head”, there were other, deeper rules connected with spiritual warfare.  Never take off your crucifix is one of these, underlined by the horror that visits

Gareth Davis & Francis-Marie Uitti ~ Terra Incognita

Wist Books’ Book Report Series is a great idea that keeps proving itself anew with every installment.  The series takes pocket-sized paperbacks from the Penguin Mini Modern Classics series and adds wraparound covers and CD3″s.  Voila ~ instant soundtracks!  The scoring of

Arafúra ~ Humores I-IV

What’s in a name?  A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet, but “rose” is an appealing name, as is “humor”.  The humors referred to in the title are the bodily fluids investigated by Hippocrates and Galenus,

Caspian ~ Waking Season

When You Are the Conductor dropped in 2005, we knew that we were in the presence of something special.  The EP was short, sweet and refined, an introduction to what would become one of the last decade’s most beloved post-rock bands.  Stretching
