Celer – Ecco (2017)

Chris — Sun, 20 Aug 2017 14:04:27 +0000

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. One can certainly find those themes in the music if one looks for them: there’s a subaqueous vibe to the sound for sure, its tones muted and dampened as water tends to do; there’s […]

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 […]

2814 – Rain Temple (Dream Catalogue, 2016)

Chris — Wed, 19 Oct 2016 17:05:21 +0000

Originally of Vaporwave fame, 2814 prefer to craft music reminiscent of a different time, imbibing their sound with an older, 1980’s pastiche, a retro futuristic noir vibe that gives the unknown a certain seductive mystery. Rain Temple moves somewhat away from their former style, seemingly to the disappointment of some of their fans, but into a direction […]

Albums of the Decade: Loscil – Plume (Kranky, 2006)

Chris — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 16:53:55 +0000

Like all of Scott Morgan’s releases over the past 15 years, Plume finds itself exploring deeply thematic territory, entrenching itself in sonic ground built around a particular topic of exploration. Water and states of matter have been regular themes through his discography and Plume finds itself in the convergence point of both; whilst perhaps not as openly dripping as its […]

Hakobune – love knows where (Constellation Tatsu, 2015)

Chris — Mon, 03 Aug 2015 16:46:09 +0000

It’s pretty difficult to talk and review Drone music in the same sense as “normal”, melodic music; I suppose in many ways Ambient is rather the same and quite troublesome to talk about in a conventional manner, but Hakobune’s serene and luxurious guitar drones in love knows where are really an excellent example of how it is […]

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 […]

Arash Akbari – Cracked Echoes (Soft Recordings, 2014)

Chris — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:27:12 +0000

November is here and with it the first signs true signs that Winter is almost upon us; Autumn was brief enough, and while a few leaves still cling to the trees they’re not long for this world, and it’s time for us to begin embracing the coldest and harshest month of each year. Arash Akbari […]
