Navigator ~ Navigator

A lovely cover, a beautiful video, gorgeous sounds and a worthy vision add up to a victory for David Mackey (Navigator), which means a victory for the kingdom of God he serves.  Few composers operate in the field of Christian ambient/post-rock

Markus Mehr ~ On

Woah, what happened here?  After the two long, ambient, loop-based tracks of In (the first part of a triptych, reviewed here earlier this year), we expected more of the same.  But with On, Germany’s Markus Mehr is really on ~ in fact, this is the best thing

Murmer ~ What Are The Roots That Clutch

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow out of this stony rubbish?  Son of Man, you cannot say, or guess, for you know only a heap of broken images ….  T.S. Eliot’s words ring true in this Wasteland; although the
