Nova Robotics ~ Popola EP
Detecting influences in music is like detecting notes in wine: not everyone hears or tastes the same thing. While other reviewers have identified hints of Daft Punk and 65daysofstatic, I’m picking up strong signals of New Order; and while Nova Robotics places

Darren Harper and Jared Smyth ~ Home
Not everyone grows up in a peaceful environment or in a happy home. But most folks wish they did, or try to make it so. Even those who suffered much as children carry within them a nostalgia for tiny moments

Celer & Machinefabriek ~ Numa / Penarie
A couple months back, we reviewed Celer & Machinefabriek‘s Maastunnel / Mt. Mitake 7″. Since then, the two have toured together, released a postcard and download document (Greetings from Celer & Machinefabriek) and bookended the tour with this second 7″ offering, which

When Clouds Collide ~ We’re Just Making Sound
Post-rock has been around enough to inspire nostalgia, which is ironic considering the fact that the genre is still going strong. This nostalgia kicks in when fans hear music that exemplifies the “classic” post-rock sound: drums, bass, guitars, and occasional

L.T.D.M.S. ~ (« Insérer titre »)
Recommended if you like: roosters, flutes, and repetition. That’s not a common combination, but it’s a fair description of this 8-piece Belgian band’s 50-minute, 4-track post-rock album. The rooster comes into play on the first track, “Douze”, which is bracketed

Ross Baker ~ The Blackbirds’ Revenge
It’s always interesting to see where releases end up – for example, this tape out of England being released by Jozik Records in Helsinki. Jozik applies a loving touch to everything it releases, as demonstrated in the photograph on the

Nils Quak ~ Aether
Nils Quak must have had a tough off-season, because Aether is dark, cold, and bleak, and we mean that as a compliment. One imagines two tribes, the ambient and the dark ambient, amassed on opposite ends of a great field. As Quak leaves

Celer ~ Bliksem
Talk about limited editions. Only ten copies of Bliksem (the Dutch word for lightning) were made, and they were distributed on Celer‘s recent tour with Machinefabriek. If I’d been in the Netherlands at the time, I’d have wanted one; it’s a great event-appropriate souvenir,
