Audionaut ~ Requiem for Cats

The long-hidden Requiem for Cats conjures shades of Juv, another project that remained buried for the better part of a decade.  The experiments of Audionaut (Miami’s Omar Angulo) were never meant to see the light of day, but Elegua’s David Font

All Lights ~ Tired/Rest

Who died?  Perhaps I should not have asked that question.  Tired/Rest is a short but ambitious concept album, bearing titles such as “Passing Away” and “Hospital”.  The four tracks are divided into two parts, and each track into separate sections, nineteen

K Wilson ~ Otherworld

The otherworld that the eyes are led to expect from the cover is a cut-and-paste collage, a jagged scrapbook of sound.  But the otherworld that the ears hear is gentle, guitar-laden, spiced with repetition and reverb.  If given a choice

Gianluca Favaron ~ Inner Sky

Machinefabriek ~ Colour Tones
