Good point, thanks--updated. The Special Edition vinyl release was limited to 500, transparent blue/black mixed.

There is an uneasy, unconventional mode in Deru's application of sound and sound treatments; his techniques are unpredictable, unexpected and invigorating. Stuttering granulations, enveloping reverberative spaces, heavily gated rhythmic outlays,...

Distant yet intimate, the pulsing rhythms and minimalist melodic motifs merge in blissful solitude. Meandering, lo-fi textural interludes and wafting acoustic fragments shape the whole of this collection, inviting the listener to pause, reflect....

A tragically unknown and underrated work.
It is something of a cross between electronic music and plainchant; it sometimes borders on opera, albeit ruthlessly and unabashedly modernist, but without the distraction of an overt narrative. The music has... See full review |

A couple of tracks will no doubt become iconic ("Reach For The Dead", "Cold Earth" or "Nothing Is Real" perhaps); new representations of a necessarily reinvented BOC mantra. But there's a surprising sonic/rhythmic flatness to many others--unexpected,...

Any music--any artform--can be dismissed as "imitation"; by that logic all rock and roll is just imitation of Elvis and all film is just imitation of cave painting. The archetype of a style does not imply ownership; artists are merely discoverers of...

While "Bayreuth Return" conquers your mind with its pulsing, mesmerizing gamelan-like ostinatos that agitate and persist beneath the imperative soundings of some monstrous and inconsolable being, it is "Wahnfried 1883" that conquers your...

This music is magnetic and penetrating. In some ways it's a more down-to-earth reinterpretation of the sound-as-memory constructs of his Eingya and Unomia releases.
Helios frequently employs the crunky, lo-fi, neo-retro soundcrafting that one... See full review |

Tilmann's enigmatic and gloriously emotive sounds are a rare joy. This music shimmers, pulses and smolders; curious and elated then contemplative, brooding.
The ideas are distinct and particular. Wreathed in adorable stillness, each vignette is a... See full review |

This music approaches a convergence of Apparat's fragmentary, pointillist timbral treatments and Autechre's unforgiving, minimalist rhythmic tessellations.
The glimpses of melodic material are fleeting; it is reduced, distilled and fascinatingly... See full review |

Dramatic and persistent. Loscil's newest oeuvre is transcendental; a measured, sobering mantra music whose gentle and unrelenting percussive resonances permeate the psyche.
There is a tenacity in these sounds; the clammy, near-dissonant textures... See full review |

This is a new minimalist ambient music. The vibrations are thick. The resonances are subtle and provocative. This is a mantra music that lulls one from observable existence to one that exists only in a state of trance.
But this is not the... See full review |

"Melancholia" traces a gentle, eerie path through a selection of aural vignettes that together form a sort of mental scrapbook of musical thoughts.
William Basinski employs a method of music-making that is in time with the memory-evoking style of... See full review |

Rabelais is brave in that he doesn't shy away from the sometimes naked electronification of these works for piano by early 20th Century music illuminati.
For whereas these may originally have been intended as pseudo-trancendental thought-to-music... See full review |
|
The plaintive and deeply moving strains of dissected and recombined vocal phrases here leaves one perpetually mesmerized by its effect. Rabelais' careful and exacting work captures the environment-as-sound method of Eno's "Neroli", but in context of a...

This is ruthless seduction. How such beauty can emerge from the cold and lifeless resistors, transistors and pathways of computerized noisemakers is a mystery. The aching strains and looping oscillations are threadbare, yet their emotive content is so...

If Seurat had chosen a path of sound instead of light, I imagine it would have yielded something like this. This is particulate art: The disintegration and reintegration of discrete melodic, harmonic and rhythmic elements (that's granular synthesis to...

This is minimalism seen through the lens of a high-speed camera. Each sounding is a careful and deliberate peak-and-trough construct, fractured by repetitive embellishments, wherein every nuance—organic and near-impressionistic in their...

Even for novices of Aphex Twin's dissected, rehashed and distilled brand of limerick-as-music compositional style, they would appreciate the effect of this work.
The mimicry is deft and surprisingly listenable (one might even argue that in some cases... See full review |
