Channeling – Bluffs (Polar Seas Recordings, 2017)

Chris — Sat, 21 Oct 2017 16:18:42 +0000

We don’t always need big, sweeping albums to make statements, even in Ambient. Sometimes it’s good, refreshing even, to listen to a release with a shorter runtime, especially if its thoughts and feelings are well crystallised.

Celer – Ecco (2017)

Ecco is a record made for a children’s lecture on dolphins and the sea, but that’s not what I’m going to talk about.

Loscil – Sea Island (Kranky, 2014)

Chris — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 17:44:54 +0000

For the past 15 years of so, Scott Morgan’s loscil has been a consistent and reliable force through the Ambient world, carving out his own specific niche of delicate, drone tinted Dub Techno and carefully, with each successive release, tightening his production, introducing supporting artists and ensconcing himself in the position of undisputed master of […]
