Knows his shit does Norman, if youve ever wanted to cocoon yourself in a bubble whilst simultaneously being in a crowd, then he is your man. |

Publisher gave more info about this release, gives some context to it.
"Aug 2023 Hey all, I had the daft idea a couple months back to start a small press publishing thing. Went pretty well and now there’s a second one so I guess that this is a real... See full review |

This is the music you hear in the club then wonder where does the DJ find those tracks? Shimmering loopy dense as fuck loveliness.

No wonder this sounds good, its mastered by Thomas Dimuzio from ReR Megacorp. A sure sign that the ears are connected to the body rather than the ears connected to a dog's arse.

Yeeeah Professor of Acid, none other than Outhere Brothers' instigator Lamar Mahone. Forward thinking compilation here when Chicago were kicking out the jams.

The no digital for this release works, adds some sort of mystery and inaccessibility to the music which is a good thing in these hyper overloaded with digital trash times. Managed to get a copy of this back in February 2021, which during COVID times...

Jon Marsh, fully embedded in dance culture post the Beloved, shows you why he is considered one of the innovators. The mix is like a circle loop starting and finishing with the same track then taking you to Eno and Hypnotone. Its just done with...

The Six Feet Under segments have to be heard, Chris has put the handbrake on the deep rhythms and done looped ambient tracks. Its not done in the name of art either, his fondness of music comes through in all his tracks.

This must be a 90 minute plus tape, the tape reel is at the limit of what it can be. Blinding effort of off the wall electronics delivered without a ball of wool in sight.

Oliver Ho renames the tracks on this lp as 'rituals' and when they transport you to a hypnotic moon village you soon know why. It works, which having heard other producers go for that ethno sound, is some feat. Thanks for the music.

Under the radar essential release! Hopefully not just FLACs of the singles put onto tape? Who knows?
|
|
My gateway drug lp to finding out that Chris McCormack was at the front of the queue for beautiful driving techno music that was imitating no one but himself. Just listen to this then follow it up with his remix of The Rascal by Ian Void to appreciate...

Any relation to Steven Ignorant? Or just imitating as flattery?

Much needed reissue of this 1970s single album release by Akritas. Waiting for a copy to become available in the UK.

This came out of nowhere but it is like a portal opened up behind a wardrobe and a gift from another dimension was deposited in this material plane. Orchestral and grandiose, with a bit of great depression and blues. Nails that sombre reflective deep...

Album of the year 2022! Took a while to arrive but when it did, it is on constant play such is the gentleness and sensitiveness to the constant head fuck of modern life. Produced by Bill Ryder-Jones and their sound is so distinctive now that they are...

One of the first NWOBHM acts and unassuming about it as well.

Put this on whilst on a bus leaving Karenga near Kidepo National Park, Uganda. The tribal sounds really fit in well with the savannah desert landscape and leaving the Karamoja tribe behind me as the dry conditions turned into lush green fruitful scenery.

The second track Maybe You're The Reason is like one of those pop smash songs that Philip K Dick used to include in his novels that were adored by the whole world. It taps into the euphoric and easily accessible transcendent state that makes pop music...

Great record! Chris Conde is a legend. Thank you for releasing this.

Essential descent into krautrock inspired electronica. Sounds analogue to me with those sequences and bass lines. One of my favourite releases on this label.
|
|
Classic garage track from 1997. First heard on Pirkka Deep Soul Xmas mix way back. Has that gentle MAW classic sound that was used for a long time.
|
|
Jo Johnson with the track Careless here is superb! Sounds very original even though we have all heard these sequenced electronic tracks many times before. Honorable mention to Patrick R. Pärk whose pulses have been steeped in neon glow paint and can...

The welsh revival is here, and this early 80s fusion of ska and indie is at the front.

Immortalised by Planes, Trains and Automobiles but also for those with an eye for Pink Floyd related acts, they will notice David Gilmour produced the first and third albums by the Dream Academy adding his own gentle guitar overdubs and backing vocals.

Too ahead of its time! Music like this would be copied by all and sundry for the next several years.
|
|
Astonishingly original take on techno from Mr McCarthy, satisfies the industrial bones too.
|
|
The wax seals on these releases are a thing of beauty to compliment the deeeeep soundscapes created by the stable of ambient artists. Lovingly produced in all ways are the releases on Somnia. RIP.

I live in Oxford and when I cycle past Florence Park Road it makes me chuckle as in the late 1990s some of the most creative electronica was being made in the world from this diminutive suburb.

The lockdown video by Matt Howden of Oh Yes, There Will Be Blood has to be seen. One man violinist acoustic assault cannon.
|
|
Guess what fact fans, 14 of the tracks on this compilation are previously unreleased. Including ambient dub workouts from Terre Thaemlitz, Adham Shaikh, Taylor Deupree, John Selway, all the hardcore US producers of electronic minimalism. Good work by...

Sometimes you just know! Damn right. Harvey out performs Moodymann here somehow, its that scattered hi hat and reverb surf guitar sound.
|
|
Wembley is the unofficial song for this evening's Euros final! So fitting. Great band from Oxford.
|
|
Almost too good! Will make every other record you own sound like a copy.
