Toundra ~ (III)

The third time around for Madrid’s Toundra, and this one’s a doozy.  One look at the cover, less subtle than the iceberg of (I) but in line with the Cupid-shot children of (II), and the message is clear: there’s no holding back.  Toundra brings

Rinus Van Alebeek ~ The 19th Century

Cassettes didn’t exist in the 19th century, although the idea had been planted by Oberlin Smith in 1888.  The recorded tape was introduced in 1962, galloped strong for a few decades, descended into near-obscurity, was revived by cultists and today

Øe ~ Transfer

Fabio Perletta’s latest work as Øe delves full-body into the bit stream, the sequence of zeroes and ones that defines our daily existence.  While listening, one can’t help but think of the changes of the past few decades, as human beings have
