Being ~ Folkestone Lighthouse

The Folkestone Lighthouse EP is one of the best releases of the year.  We don’t say such things often, or lightly, because tastes differ; but this one crosses genres and is much more than a simple release.  We’re fortunate to be able

Concessionaires ~ Artificial Interface

This album reminds me of an old trance song, Space Manoeuvres’ “Phase One”.  (“In deep space … abandoned.”  “Any crew?”  “Negative.”)  Not that it’s a trance album; trance-inducing, perhaps, but thankfully lacking in repetitive beats.  That track existed in multiple

Noxroy ~ Cotyledon Observatory

After listening to Cotyledon Observatory for a couple weeks, I’ve been thinking of clear night skies, crisp stars, an observatory on a hill, possibly somewhere in Britain.  So imagine my surprise when I learned that there is no Cotyledon Observatory; a

Tropic of Coldness ~ Commuting

It’s always cold somewhere, so this shivering release may need to move away from the equator to find a home.  Tropic of Coldness is an American/Italian duo living in Brussels, so a sense of dislocation is already apparent.  The association of

Kim_Nasung ~ Places

Ambient music needs a new language.  The current language of dreams, recollections, faded photos and fog just won’t do anymore, and the visuals, as pretty as they may be, need more variety.  Ambient music itself is rich in resonance and

Jedadiah Bernards ~ Two Poems/Piano

So tiny, so treasured!  Not since Nils Frahm’s Unter/Uber has such a small piano release had such a beguiling effect.  Like that release, Jedadiah Bernards’ Two Poems/Piano is a 5″ lathe cut; only 100 copies will be made, so act fast if you want one.

The Last Four Out ~ A Linear Mix

With 18 free albums released in their first season, it’s clear that the Linear Obsessional netlabel loves music as much as we do.  But how to make people aware of it?  We suggested a mix ~ and guess what!  A

Moody Alien ~ A Moody Alien in the Dark

Moody Alien (also known as Mal.O, also known as Al) has spent a number of years recording these tracks, but this is his first official release.  Is he moody?  Yes.  Is he an alien?  Possibly.  Is his real name Al?  No
