This is Fennesz’s most reflective album to date. Composed and recorded at the end of 2023 and completed in the summer of 2024. Fennesz set up a new studio space, the third one in four years. He had no immediate concept, this time starting from scratch, with a strict working...

Thumbing through the back pages of German electronic music, Bureau B uncovers another hidden gem from the Sky Records archive: Inventions, the 1983 collaboration between Adelbert von Deyen and Dieter Schütz. Fusing expansive kosmische textures with biting rock guitars, motorik rhythms, and the growl of '80s synth-pop, the duo conjures...

Audiopile Review: Not surprising to find Nate Mercereau & Carlos Niño meetup with International Anthem mainstay Josh Johnson, though it is a bit of shock to see Blue Note stick their nose in such affairs. Yet, that’s been the net positive effect of Andre 3000’s New Blue Sun, which continues...

Audiopile Review: Gigi Masin is a veteran ambient composer whose profile has recently been growing outside his native Italy, thanks in no small part to the estimable Music from Memory label’s patronage. His music is occasionally labelled ‘new age’. This relates less to any association with pantheistic spirituality and more...

Audiopile Review: Freshly inked pseudonym from the prolific Dutch producer best known as Mammo, adopting the Fabiano moniker for this 2xLP set that diverts from his usual axis of dub/bleep/IDM/-techno hybrid 12”s that have been coming fast and furious across his many aliases over the past few years. Coinciding with...

Hiroshi Yoshimura was commissioned in 1984 by Japanese multi-national personal care company Shiseido to create something that might be entirely out of his own wheelhouse: music that could complement a fragrance. Mixing bird song and sea sound with environmental field recordings, plus the usual electronics paraphernalia, he just released something...

Audiopile Review: Provocative statement: the ‘progressive’ hippie underground and the DIY punk movement had a lot in common. Frankly superfluously provocative statement: In ambient music, choons are as important as vibez. What does all this have to do with Hiroshi ‘Green’ Yoshimura’s 1983 ambient classic ‘Pier & Loft’? Well, ambient...

After almost a decade of exploratory ambient activity under other aliases, Australia-based musician Alex Marsh presents their first eponymous work: Trellis. The title refers to the music’s “triple-woven” palette of autoharp, upright piano and an old Yamaha keyboard, arranged in diffuse configurations of fragrant smoke and sunlit dust. Accented with...

Audiopile Review: Every new Biosphere LP demands to at least be considered for the inestimable honour that is Audiopile Record of the Week Status. How many electronic music projects could you say that of, let alone ones in the fourth decade of their existence? But here’s Norwegian ambient veteran Geir...

Audiopile Review: We associate Norwegian duo Deaf Center with the early 2000s drone scene. This was a time when Fennesz-style glitch and Sunn-y post-metal met the New Weird America uptown. It’s a dark, underappreciated corner of recent music history, so it’s a tonic to hear ‘Reverie’, Deaf Centre’s first album...

Audiopile Review: EM Records dusts off a gem from the lusted after Vanity Records imprint, SAB’s Crystallization, one of the earliest releases from the infamous Japanese imprint (#2, in fact) and one of the few full lengths not yet reissued after rarities from Aunt Sally, Tolerance, R.N.A. Organism and BGM...

Since the turn of this century, perhaps no other modern composition has had a more resonant healing effect than The Disintegration Loops. Composer William Basinski’s deteriorating analog tape loops evolved from melodic symphonies to melancholic silence over a span of time that uncannily turned passing minutes into pensive lifetimes. In...

In the winter of 2023, Ingri Høyland and Ida Urd retreated to a Danish sommerhus, or summer house—the tiny, tidy shacks that are a central feature of the national culture, where for generations, Danes have whiled away the warm months with their families. Picture the scene: an abiding quiet all...

DJ Sprinkles is here credited as co-producer, not remixer, on ‘Acid Trax S’, where they push over 10 mins of theee deadliest 303 tweaks hewing close to the stripped back, formative Chicago sound of DJ Pierre et al and steering clear of the juicy chords that typify Sprinkles remix sessions....

Audiopile Review: There’s a surprising medievalism to some of the 21st century’s most next-level electronic music. We’re thinking about the air of rarefied religiosity hanging like a veil over Akira Rabelais’ deconstructed choral loops or Sarah Davachi’s sad drones. For more evidence of this trend, behold our record of the...

Audiopile Review: The Australian-based duo of Wilson Tanner (Andrew Wilson and John Tanner) dish their 3rd LP and first in (checks calendar) six years?!? In a way it feels that they’ve never left, their folk-fronted, not-quite-jazz, ambient wanderings seems more relevant than ever, with labels like Balmat, Tonal Union and...

Audiopile Review: Some names come up again and again in our reviews. We’ve probably mentioned the godlike Peter Hammill a couple of times. Huerco S. (aka Brian Leeds) is another artist we call back to again and again. There’s a reason for this. Huerco is absolutely one of the best...

Audiopile Review: Florian TM Zeisig dons yet another guise, returning to Somewhere Press as Spool, chasing his crackled dream-pop collaboration with vocalist Alliyah Enyo that dropped during his busy 2024, coming alongside his murky ambient NUG project on West Mineral and a full length of inverted trip-hop for Stroom. Needless...

Audiopile Review: Yumiko Morioka’s 1987 sole release Resonance, a kankyō ongaku classic, is mercifully repressed by Métron Records, who initially reissued it back in 2020, those copies now hitting triple digits price points online.
