36 – Trance Anthems For A Sunken Generation (3six Recordings, 2024)

Chris — Wed, 22 May 2024 19:08:57 +0000

I have a morbid fascination with Twitter (X, whatever). It is a despair hole, a nihilist’s dream-space where the most miserable people on the web come to make other people more miserable elsewhere. I appreciate it for its daily memery, and general insanity since the Musk takeover, but it is not a good place. In […]

36 – Colours In The Dark (3six Recordings, 2022)

Describing depression, especially to those who don’t understand the experience or haven’t been through it themselves, is not an easy thing. There’s this common preconception that it’s some kind of state of chronic unhappiness, but the reality is perhaps worse than that: it’s a continuum of anhedonia, an emotional flattening where both joy and […]

36 & the awakened souls – The Other Side of Darkness (PITP, 2020)

Chris — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 11:53:11 +0000

Yesterday was one of the nicest days of the year thus far, the sky an endless rim of encircling blue punctuated only by the hot pupil of the Sun. Walking in the forest with the heat on our backs, sunlight shimmering on the streams, the suggestions of emergent greenery budding, the delicate Winter afternoon rays […]

36 – Fade To Grey (A Strangely Isolated Place, 2019)

Chris — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 19:23:34 +0000

I caught a Mark Kermode review recently for Alita: Battle Angel (I have not personally seen the film); in his outline he said that it was “set in a dystopian future”, adding “is there any other kind?”. It was almost a throwaway comment but it suddenly struck me that very few perceptions in Science Fiction […]

The Top 20 Records of 2017

Chris — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 18:01:49 +0000

Well here we are again, HearFeel’s fifth end-of-year list. Firstly I feel that I should apologise: despite the fact that 2016 felt like the year to end all years I still managed to average at least one post per week and 2017 has fallen quite short of that. I have never posted as little as […]

36 – Black Soma (3Six Recordings, 2017)

Chris — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 18:23:02 +0000

Light and dark, the oldest juxtaposition in existence. The something vs. the nothing, the good vs. the bad. Preceding each piece here is a counterpoint, a piece of subterfuge which casts a glimmer of melancholy and doubt into its matrix: black. Notions of lightness and purity, places of promise and hope, become tainted with a darkling […]

The Top 20 Albums of 2015

Chris — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 14:30:41 +0000

Well readers it’s finally come to that time of the year again where everyone slows down, kicks back, looks fondly at the year that was, and of course eagerly consumes the glut of end of year lists that come out of it to criticise everyone else’s taste in music. I shouldn’t need to remind everyone that on […]

36 – Void Dance (2015)

Chris — Tue, 07 Jul 2015 17:05:43 +0000

Across the last couple of EPs, 36 has acquired a noticeable slant towards probing the conceptual devices around space travel and exploration in Sun Riders and then in the somewhat more fully formed and deliberate Sine Dust. Following these we’ve been gifted a fully fledged album pertaining to these themes in the rich soundscapes of Void Dance, unfolding on the tantalising […]

36 – Sine Dust (EP, 2015)

Chris — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 17:11:16 +0000

There’s a certain romance to space and space travel; I’m sure that for as long as humanity has been around to look at the stars in the sky there have been people who have dreamed of being up there and exploring them, tackling the last great frontier and exploring the many wonders of the Universe. […]

36 – Pulse Dive (EP, 3six Recordings, 2015)

Chris — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 16:42:32 +0000

A new year heralds a new 36 record, albeit only a relatively short one for the time being. Clocking in at a lightweight 17 minutes, it’s not quite the shortest production Dennis Huddleston has created to date but it’s close; despite it’s apparent brevity, however, Pulse Dive promises to be one of his most emotionally charged and […]
