Pausal – Avifaunal (DRONARIVM, 2017)

Chris — Thu, 18 May 2017 18:13:21 +0000

I’m told that birds are known to murmurate not far from where I live currently, over the salt marshes of the river a few minutes from here. I’ve yet to see it myself, but the notion that wildlife continues to thrive in a place so heavily influenced by industrial activity is pleasing to me, and […]

Albums of the Decade: Thom Brennan – Mist (Space For Music, 2000)

Chris — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 20:11:04 +0000

Mist is a uniquely satisfying musical experience; its meditative passages precede the immersive work of Robert Rich’s Somnium, its cool synth lines and atmospheric drones capture the style of Ultimae’s roster before its existence, yet it’s also imbibed with qualities hailing from the New Age quasi-tribal sounds of Steve Roach. This distinctly modern foray of electronic music into more […]

George Cloke – Hrísey

Chris — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 17:34:38 +0000

Island life is such a romanticised concept, both islanders and outsiders perpetuate a vision of a peaceful and harmonious life away from the complex existence of the mainland. Mind you, even mainland life on Iceland is quieter and with more hardships than most, so the ~120 residents of Hrísey must truly be dedicated yet satisfied […]

Olli Aarni – Puu tuulessa (Cotton Goods, 2015)

Chris — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 15:30:53 +0000

It’s been a few years now since I last listened to an album by Aarni, specifically the dreamy Otavaiset Otsakkaha under his Nuojova alias from way back when in HearFeel’s formative days in 2012; it’s nice to know that Puu tuulessa seems to follow in the same dusty vein of music as those melodies I loved from 3 years […]

Purl – Stillpoint (Silent Season, 2015)

Chris — Sat, 27 Jun 2015 15:35:39 +0000

If there’s one things that humans are above many things it’s sentimental. We love to be nostalgic, to try to remember places and people and moments and keep them in storage for ourselves, or give others a sense of the feelings we’ve experienced, but it’s hard to do. Impossible actually, at least in a complete […]

Twilight In Versailles – Eternal Sea (2014)

Chris — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 18:17:39 +0000

Sometimes it can be difficult to formulate words on an album that you like but also hold some reservations against; every album has flaws, this is without question, and often it’s possible to overlook some of these shortcomings to enjoy the experience as a whole but sometimes things dominate the skyline that, despite the music […]

Cinchel – Nature Pt.1 (Twice Removed Records, 2014)

Chris — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 23:44:10 +0000

There exists a certain difficulty within Ambient and Drone music, I feel, in regards to taking the music beyond acceptable limits accidentally, eaking out more sound and keeping tracks spinning out for longer than is really required. Admittedly this isn’t a problem that’s exclusive to these genres but when you’re working in a loosely defined sonic […]
