Tonesucker ~ Omnia Convivia Crastina

The buzz began with Wire Tapper 28 and the sonic mulch of Tonesucker’s “cosmic avian variation”, which sounded somewhat like a gravel field being mowed next to an active propeller.  The track was a teaser mix of three longer selections on Omnia

Nicholas Szczepanik ~ The Truth of Transience

“You have to hear this on vinyl,” Nicholas Szczepanik insisted when he told us about his latest album, and so we were delighted when Isounderscore sent us a copy.  We love the look, the smell, the weight; but most of all, we

Pollux/Rainbow Valley ~ Coma/Oceans

A C20?  This brings back memories.  Just as I finally sold the car with the cassette player, here come the cassettes.  But that’s a good thing – either foolhardy, brave, nostalgic, wise, or some combination of the above.  Liminal Noise

d.Forma ~ amplia grey

A person can be lonely anywhere, even in a crowd; perhaps especially in a crowd.  The biggest cities, which seem to present the opportunity for the greatest amount of new friendships and experiences, often yield the greatest sense of disconnection.  The gap

Lost Objects ~ Privenv Highly

If given the opportunity to watch a group of children at play in a room full of new toys, many would be curious enough to accept the invitation.  Would one respond in the same way if given the opportunity to

Fazio ~ Élégie

The recorded output of Mike Fazio (orchestramaxfieldparrish) has often been called “difficult music”, but Élégie is surprisingly accessible – at least when compared to A Guide for Reason I-VI, the first volume of the Music from a Strange Box series.  The reason is fairly obvious: Élégie is primarily

Clint Listing ~ In the Minds of Madness

Post-industrial soundscapes are not the most accessible productions, and In the Minds of Madness is not easy listening.  The cover simultaneously evokes Joan of Arc, the Salem Witch Trials, and the Apocalypse, and the sounds inside make a fitting match. Over the

Gargle ~ Glow in the Gloom

A little alliteration is present in the hard “g” sounds of the title and band, but a soft “g” might have been more fitting since Glow in the Gloom is an album of smoother edges.  The press release touts “sensitive and pathetic
