1. Pausal – Lapses (Barge)

   By Joshua Meggitt May 13, 2010

   Lapses is the debut album from Pausal (UK duo Simon Bainton and Alex Smalley) after a 2007 EP for Highpoint Lowlife (reissued in 2009) and, as the label proudly admits, Barge’s first wholly ambient release. Using field recording, samples and instruments (piano, guitar) Pausal construct delicate arrangements, and heavily smudge these with digital processing. The [...]

2. Dalot – Flight Sessions EP (Coo Records)

   By Chris Downton April 13, 2010

   Greek sound artist Maria Papadomanolaki certainly has a busy work schedule; as well as having her sound installations (centred around field recordings, voice and telematic performance) exhibited through the UK and Greece, she also composes for dance and video alongside working for London’s Resonance FM. This debut EP as Dalot sees Papadomanolaki crafting six tracks [...]

3. For Danielle Baquet-Long * 1983-2009

   By max schaefer July 11, 2009

   Although I only knew Dani through a back door, through the music that sounded through her and her husband, Will, my heart sank upon hearing of her death. As Celer, Will and Dani acted with fresh instinct and sincere impulse. I join others in sending my condolences to her family and friends. Her efforts will [...]

4. Martin Schulte – Far Away (Rednetic)

   By Chris Downton June 14, 2009

   In the comparative few years since 21 year old Kazan-based producer Marat Sibaev (aka Martin Schulte) emerged onto the European electronic scene, he’s certainly been a prolific guy, releasing a steady stream of netlabel material as well as two artist albums, including last year’s ‘Depth Of Soul’ collection for Japanese label Lantern. This fourth volume [...]

5. Chopps Derby – You Don’t Know What Broccoli Is? 12” vinyl (The Gull’s Trunk Records)

   By Wayne Stronell October 10, 2008

   Chopps Derby has a foil mouth, but he does think this ep will bring out the worst in you… What seems initially as overkill from this MC from Manchester, one soon realizes the underlying humour, the deadpan delivery, you can almost hear the smirk on this face. The press release sums it up perfectly, “walking [...]

6. Gulls – FREEer (Sonic Lozenge)

   By Adrian Elmer May 6, 2008

   A gentle drum loop stumbles along for a few seconds, then the bass drone kicks in and sets us up for the journey. Two minutes in and group leader Jesse Munro Johnson’s distant trumpets intone the Last Post’s cousin. From here, things get freeform with drums, percussion and bass joining the electronics and trumpets. A [...]

7. Gulls – Eats & Opus (Sonic Lozenge)

   By Bob Baker Fish September 16, 2007

   Every now and then someone comes along who makes you appreciate the bedroom labours; appreciate hours toiling away at some strange messed up piece of sonic tapestry that barely makes sense to anyone who hasn’t constructed it. Portland native Jesse Munro Johnson is one such individual. Working with loops, trumpets, drones, synths, all manner of [...]

8. Chris Watson & BJ Nilsen – Storm (Touch)

   By max schaefer April 2, 2007

   Promulgating that figs don’t grow on thistles, one may look upon nature as something of a primordial mother, as something we grew out of rather than were born into. If it tickles one’s fancy, one might see the oceans as God’s tears – hence our desire to drown in them, as a short-cut to God [...]
