Billow Observatory – II: Plains/Patterns (Azure Vista Records, 2017)

Chris — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 19:17:10 +0000

Summer begins 9 days from now on the Solstice, the longest day of the year, though on evenings like today you would believe that we were deep in its throes already: the woods are rich and dense with foliage; plants have cycled through their Spring blooms and are moving through to their Summer maturation; the […]

Albums of the Decade: Manual – Until Tomorrow (Morr Music, 2001)

Chris — Mon, 31 Oct 2016 18:00:20 +0000

The debut record of Jonas Munk is one for the young, a brief snapshot of youthful energy and angst arced over 45 minutes of scuzzy, lo-fi, yet brilliantly earnest Indietronica. Unlike many of his later, more refined records that would sun themselves in languid Ambient and Downtempo with nary a care in the world, this […]

Manual – Azure Vista (Darla, 2005/2015)

Chris — Wed, 01 Jul 2015 16:00:01 +0000

People always ask me what my favourite season is, and although I never say Summer there’s no conceding that for me, and admittedly for most, some of my fondest memories come from the warm heart of the year. Foolishly sunburnt skin, muggy days, long nights, high spirits and more often than not a change of scene […]

Jonas Munk – Absorb/Fabric/Cascade (El Paraiso, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 17:17:28 +0000

I’ve stopped coming to have expectations going in to any Jonas Munk record; every album under his beloved Manual alias is a different and quixotic affair, ranging from the heady heights of Shoegazing Dream Pop to soft fluffy expanses of Drone, whilst collaborating with artists like Ulrich Schnauss and others has allowed him to traverse […]

Jonas Munk – Pan (2012)

Chris — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 15:26:09 +0000

Jonas Munk’s legacy continues with the first album under his own name, Pan. Munk’s work under his Manual alias is, as I’ve mentioned before, some of my favourite music ever, and he seems to have a magic touch in whatever other projects he gets involved in (ie, Limp). Naturally, I was excited to learn that […]

Manual – Until Tomorrow (2001)

Chris — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:51:15 +0000

Well this is different. I’ve finally left the rainsoaked, flooded climes of Britain this year and am currently writing my standard Sunday Night Review in the Mediterranean climes of Italy, in a nice secluded Tuscan hideaway. I had two problems; the first was deciding what to review and the second is somewhat more problematic, not […]
